Spiritual Farming Series Part 2:Sovereignty:The Power Invested in You!
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Here it is in the word of God everything we need to understand who God created us to be. He created us to have dominion, power, ruler ship and authority over the earth and over spiritual wickedness in high places. God has given us authority and power over the enemy. Here it is in the Garden of Eden. A garden that represents life and the very ideal of what happens when God steps on the scene of darkness.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was with out form and void. Darkness that which speaks of emptiness, lacking, something missing and something with out. But God stepped into nothingness and created life. He breathed into man life! He breathed into man the power to create, reproduce, make decisions, rule over the fishes and the sea. God created out of darkness and the mysteries of his mind a world made for man to have dominion. Genesis chapters 1-4
The enemy who had been kicked out of heaven before the creation of man was already existing in this nothingness waiting for what had been hidden in the earth(Spiritual Farming series 1c, revelations 12) In revelations chapter 12 the enemy sees what his end will be and seeks to destroy the seed of Eve. What the enemy did not understand is that his very desire to kill the seed was a part of God's ultimate plan to bring man up from dominion over the earth to dominion over the earth and satan himself. If Adam had true ultimate dominion over the enemy then Adam would not have had a choice to make.
Mankind was destined to be subjected to the choice between God or satan. God already knew that satan would choose to rebel and that he would be exposed to his children. He also knew that Adam and Eve would make the wrong choices. Why did God create man? He created man out of love and a desire to commune with us and shepherd us as a father does his children as a parent. God wanted more children. God could have gotten rid of all of us after the fall, but since He knows that there are a few good seed out there that will choose Him he waits on us knowing that the good seed will be separated from the bad seed and that for the joy that is set before Him He endures the bad seed because He knows there are some redeemed of the Lord who will choose Him over the flesh, pride of life, greed, money, worldly power and sin. Ephesians Chapter 1
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the richesof God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:3-13
What God sees when he looks at the children of men is seed. He knows what seed is bad and what seed is good. And when we choose him all he can see is THEE SEED! JESUS Christ! And the enemy's plan is to kill the power that has now been invested in you! Once Christ is in you and you have been filled with the Power of Holy Ghost! You have been supernaturally changed. The fruits of the Spirit that Adam and Eve had before the fall that would have prevented Cain and Abel. murder, hate, and etc has been restored back to your mind and a sincere and genuine love for others and life has now been restored! But in all of that because you are still in this body and in the world you are still in a BATTLE!
Now that your mind has been supernaturally restored there is a fight to keep what God has INVESTED in you. You can multiply it or have what has been given taken away. The devil is fighting you for what God has INVESTED in you. More than talent! More than what you have in natural ability, but that, of the Holy Spirit and the JESUS, THE SEED! The POWER IN YOU! The gifts of the spirit include the fruit of the Spirit; Galatians 5:21-22, prophesy, working of miracles, healing, speaking and interpretation of tongues, hospitality, Apostles, Teachers, Prophets, Evangelist, and Pastors. The devil wants to steal the fruit of the spirit from you, the gifts to lay on the sick and recover! he wants to steal your ability to give and help others. He wants to steal the image of Christ in you!
Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father.
19-22 That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.
Ephesians 2:16-22So as you complete this day to day walk with God remember who you are and who is INVESTED IN YOU! Remember the Power that is INVESTED IN YOU!
Be Blessed!
May your day be filled with the LOVE of Christ!
