What does the characters
Neil from the Matrix or Aragorn of the Lord of the Rings had in common? They both started out not fully knowing who
they really were! They were toss to and
fro due to their lack of knowledge. Yet
what happened once they came to know the truth about themselves? They no longer had to run, they no longer had
to fear because they came to know who they were-one was the chosen one while
the other was a king.
Now I know these are fiction characters and these are
movies some of us enjoy on our personal time, yet there is a vital message we
as children of God can learn from. See
we too started out in our walk with God not knowing who we really are in His
kingdom. We too find ourselves running from the enemy, walking in fear, being
tossed to and fro. This private war of
a saint can cause some to walk away from the faith or walk around not fully
being happy. Yet ask yourself is depression, sickness, lack, or unhappiness
part of God’s kingdom? Marinate
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven.
See there is a season to act like a baby where everything
is done for you by your parents. Then
there is a season of growth with childhood and adolescence. Finally we grow up
to be adults. Just like in the natural,
there is a process in the spirit realm.
There is a season of not knowing, but then there comes that season where by consistent seeking Him; we come to
know!
Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, so that we may be also glorified
together.
We are heirs of God; therefore we have the right to all the
benefits of his kingdom. In his kingdom
there is peace, joy, strength, health, prosperity, authority, correction, and
revelation. When we know who we really
are in Christ, we don’t have to fear the enemy. He no longer has dominion over
us! Saints, it’s time for us to come to
the knowledge of who we are in Christ.
Notice when Neil of the Matrix came to the knowledge that he was the
chosen one, he didn't have to even dodge bullets anymore and barely use up
energy to fight. Guess what, neither do we in the spirit realm for we have our
Heavenly Father backing and Jesus name for our power! So enjoy your inheritance of your Father and
walk in your victory!
you are so correct. we KNOW but yet we fear, wonder, doubt or even feel useless. I had a conversation today with a special someone who has no idea just how special she truly is. our enemy is so crafty, so sneaky but WE KNOW where our Victory comes from...we need to claim it!!
