Living In Kingdom Authority While Walking On Earth

Living In Kingdom Authority While Walking On Earth

John 5:26  "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,  27  "and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

The Word was robed in flesh and the Father gave Him great authority!  Walking under the authority of the word of God results in victory for every believer.  Walking in the kingdom of God's authority brings the abundant life Jesus promised to the believers who would hear and heed His voice.  Jesus' authority came directly from the Father, because He is the Son of Man.

Philippians 2:8  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.  9  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  10  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  11  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus' exaltation and authority came directly from submitting to the authority of the Father.  Jesus was motivated to do the will of the Father and ultimately that was surrendering to death.  The first Adam had authority here on earth and yielded that authority to the devil.  Sin broke unfettered fellowship with God and limited and tainted the authority God had given him to rule the earth

Romans 1:3  concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,  4  and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

Jesus was the son of man according to the flesh; Jesus was the Son of God that became the first fruits of the resurrection from the dead.  Our surrender to the authority of Jesus Christ brings us salvation, resurrection, and much more! 

Matthew 28:18  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "Allauthority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  19  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20  "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

After Jesus resurrection He spoke "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Make no mistake about it, Jesus won the authority man had lost.  Then Jesus told the apostles to go and make disciples!  Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth; a disciple is someone who completely submit to that authority.  Many, many Christians are walking without victory; there is one reason for no victory, no submission to the authority of Jesus Christ.  Grace has been given to enable us to walk in the abundant life Jesus promised.  Abundant life is not elusive it comes to those who become disciples.  Disciples are those who are students of the Master!  Disciples have teachable spirits and submit and observe all things that Jesus commanded.  Believers who are not walking in victory are resisting being true disciples.  If you are walking in complete unabridged victory this message is only affirmation of the truth you know.  Those lacking victory need a change of mindset and let me compel you to be baptized in the truth.  The Father sent His Son into a sinful world to save it and set it free from sin!  Jesus is the only Begotten of the Father who came to sacrifice His life so you might have abundant life.  Faith in Jesus Christ gives birth to new beginnings and the Holy Spirit desires to lead and guide you into all truth.  If you are not being lead by the Spirit of God you are not Jesus' disciple.

Hebrews 2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.  10  For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things,in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Jesus died on the cross and tasted death so you don’t have to live in death.  Jesus submitted to death so He could become the Captain of our salvation.  He faced the suffering of the cross for our benefit, so we could become sons of glory.

Hebrews 2:16  For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.  17  Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.  18  For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.  1  Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

Living in kingdom authority while walking on earth is found in Jesus Christ.  The gospel is for you to surrender to our great High Priest, Jesus Christ.  Jesus is here and available for every true believer.  His desire is to come to your aid!  Disciple do you know Jesus is on your side.  Jesus is a merciful and faithful High Priest.  Jesus is right here, right now to give aid to every disciple.  Jesus not only comes to your aid, He is your advocate and propitiation for every sin.  Not many understand the greatness of the sacrifice; once the greatness of the sacrifice is revealed the surrender is not burdensome but life giving.  It is the way to living in kingdom authority while walking on earth.  Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, CONSIDER THE APOSTLE AND HIGH PRIEST OF OUR CONFESSION, CHRIST JESUS.  Jesus came for your victory; if you don’t have victory believer it is time to submit to discipleship so your mindset can be changed.  Are you not yet ready to live in victory?

Romans 5: 18  Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.  19  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

Jesus' righteous act of obedience to death on the cross brought you and I a free gift resulting in justification of life.  Victory does not have to be elusive.  Your trust is in Jesus' atoning sacrifice becomes so great you can believe His obedience is enough to make you right with God!  His obedience can be trusted in!  This is living in kingdom authority while walking on earth.

John 12:49  "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.  50  "And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."

I write these very truth by the authority of God the Father.  Jesus heard the command from the Father eternal life!  Will we hear the voice of Jesus and live?

John 16:7  "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.  8  "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  9  "of sin, because they do not believe in Me;  10  "of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;  11  "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.  12  "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.  13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14  "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.  15  "All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

The Holy Spirit comes to convict the unbeliever of sin; He comes to convict the believer of righteousness.  Many understand and preach the Holy Spirit convicts of sin and stop!  Your victory is found when the Holy Spirit is allowed to convict you of righteousness and can convince you the enemy of your soul has been judged!  This is living in kingdom authority while living on earth.  It is God’s desire for you!  Father I pray fill every disciple with the Holy Spirit as your Word has promised.  If you ask He will fill you!

John 17:1  Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,  2  "as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.  3  "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Do you know Him?  Knowing Him is living in kingdom authority while walking on earth!

God the Father loved you first

Jesus is faithful
