Do you think you are a king, or do you still think you are just dirty sinner, a sinner saved by grace? Do you not know that John 1:12 says that it was given to us power to become the sons of God? Have you wrapped your mind around that? There is a real identity given to us, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, raised us up from the old identity, and brought us to this new heavenly identity. Let this mind be in you (Philippians 2:5)! Are you a king, or are you still trying to be one? Are you still trying to earn your royal position? Yes, never forget where God has saved you from, but believe His Word, His power, and your authority in whatever spiritual domain you are at. Satan is under your feet if you are in Christ Jesus. This is the king's domain. This is where kingdom comes from. Now it is at hand if you are one in Him as He is in the Father.
The Word keeps telling us to be a doer of the Word not just hearers, or if we don’t do it, we will forget what the Word told us concerning who we are. In 1, Peter 4:11, it says If anyone speaks, let him speak the oracles of God! So, you must have boldness to speak only what the Word says about you, about your identity! It is not about what you did or did not do. It is not about having a good day or a bad day. It is all about what He says and what He said.
Let’s read Revelation 1:1-10. The time is always at hand! The spirit of prophecy is always speaking. You are of Christ, or are you not? There is no such thing as I am of this and of that denomination. The Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the One who was, who is, and who is to come, and that One is here right now! When He was born, to Him had been given “a name and also many other names (Isaiah 9:6) that is above every other name” (Phillipians 2:9) – the name of Jesus Christ, and He is also Emmanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23). He said, He would never leave us (Hebrews 13:5). Are you still trying to find Him? Or do you see Him within you? Our traditions stop the Kingdom of God from coming out of us! Anybody in Him is a new creation! I need to remind you every time I speak to you. Focus on Him! Be rooted and grounded in Him, rooted and grounded in love! Become the Word with Him!
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” verse 5. Some people think He is talking about the kings of Europe, no! He was talking about His people, the KINGS OF THE EARTH! Some people are still washing themselves, trying to keep themselves clean, but He has washed us from our sins in His blood! Religion will say there is only ONE KING, THE KING! That is true, but there are many kings, a little king, under the BIG KING, the KING OF kings!
You need the proof of it in the Word, and you need to read it, but also to believe that His Word is truth: “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Verse 6
Priest means you are a minister of God. A minister looks from the outside like a servant to the Body; to the world, he looks like a slave, but unto God we are a royal Priesthood! Do you want to be great? Serve. O Peter, when you are converted, you will understand what I am saying. I will come and get you out of condemnation! God, I don’t understand, but because you said I believe so… “Wash me completely! Not only wash my feet, but my whole body!” Jesus said in John 15:3, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” Wow, what an amazing proclamation!
I don’t want a big chair on the stage. I am seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6-7). I just want Him! It is not about man; it is about Him, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! Begin to roar the Word of God and watch what happens. This Word is all you need when you are attacked in the middle of the night, and need to get up and start speaking the Word of God!
God is not interested about our brick-and-mortar display of a building where God’s people gather at, but the LAMB’S WIFE! (Revelation 21:9). He is the first temple of many temples! So, watch what you lay in the temple, and how you build this temple up! It is just not about reading about who we are in the Bible but believing! Believing is done by FAITH! Believing Him when the accuser says, “you are not”, you say, “He says I AM”.
“…to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1Peter 5:11. A king domains! The King says, then what He says is the law! If the king says, then there is no negotiation! We are back in the time of the KINGS! But remember, this is a spiritual kingdom, and we are servants in the flesh, in the natural, but in the spiritual realm, we are an ambassador wherever He sends us: to the park, grocery store, wherever! Whatever He says, whatever we say, it shall become a declaration! If you are seated in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), you are seated with Him. The Earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1), which means the Earth is OUR footstool as well! When you make Him King, only then everything is about HIS KINGDOM!
Jesus came back to restore all things and to give us back the keys of authority that were lost in the garden, in the book of Genesis. Then, through the whole Bible, we see God multiplying all of the kings according to the image of the KING of them all! Jesus becoming the first fruit among many brethren (Romans 8:29), the King of many kings, Lord of many lords (Revelation 19:16). This is spiritual understanding. Jesus says in John 18:36, if His kingdom was of this world, He would do this or that, and also He tells us His kingdom is within (Luke 17:20-21)! Wow, it is so deep, so true, so empowering! Peace not in the flesh but in the Spirit. We are in this world, but we were not of it (John 15:19)!
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet” (verse 10). Today, tomorrow and forever is the Day of the Lord; now, every day you can be in the Spirit and use your dominion! We will sound the trumpet! Speak with boldness! Decree and declare the Word of God, the Word of the King, as a pilgrim!
Speak what Holy Spirit is saying. You bring and hold the keys in your domain in the second Heaven and on the Earth… Make a declaration, then it must be enforced... It is the sole highest authority...If you could see what is happening in the spirit realm, but we cannot always see, that is why we pray and believe! Kings are always declaring! When we speak, it has power! But if we don’t speak, all our power is for nothing!
In Revelation 5, it says, “an angel was proclaiming with a loud voice”, but to proclaim you don’t need to use your high pitch, no need to scream, just do it in faith and boldness, using your authority! You need to remember the Word and speak back, IT IS WRITTEN! You are proclaiming that IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE KING OF KINGS! When you speak something in faith, all hell shakes! Consider yourself as a lion! When you preach, preach like a lion, but love like a Lamb! When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness – let me add – when He was led by the Spirit of God to be tempted (Matthew 4:1-11), what did He do? He said, “It is written.” ” You shall not tempt the Lord your God.”
Protect your mind, protect your thinking: Ephesians 6:17: “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Keep reminding yourself: “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:10.
Some people are afraid of really believing in the awesomeness of this new identity because they are afraid of becoming prideful. But there is no way to be prideful if you know you outside of Him, and because you know you, you know you must be with Him, you know you have to stay away from the mirror! If you keep looking at yourself, you will become an unrighteous judge of your own self and of others! This is the difference between kingdom culture and organized religion. This is the difference between a slave mentality and a servant. This is the difference between being an orphan and a son filled with the Holy Spirit and have been received by Spirit of adoption.
These living stones (1 Peter 2:1-11) are us, chosen! We are CHOSEN! The enemy tries to mess with our confidence. “No!” tell him, “I am not only saved but CHOSEN!” But some people give their helmet of salvation to satan and start listening to lies!
But those who believe on His word will never be confounded (verse 6). The builders disallowed you, but God chose you! “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” verse 9
“Which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” verse 11. In time past, we were not that people, BUT NOW! Say it to yourself…NOW I AM THAT PEOPLE! But NOW WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD! BUT now I obtained mercy! Now, I live by grace; now, I allow Him to have everything, and I become one with Him and the Spirit of God!
”Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” verse 11 Wherever I go, I am a pilgrim! If I go to Africa, and even when I go to the grocery store. Wherever I go, I take dominion in the Spirit! Some keep praying their entire Christian life, “Father, your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10), and Jesus is saying to them, “Repent, the Kingdom is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). It has come, it is here, I am a partaker of it and a little king because of my inheritance from the Only begotten King! By the blood of the covenant, I am in the royal priesthood. Nothing done by my own power but by His choosing and His Word as it is written. I have become a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). A co-heir with Him (Romans 8:17). Now that is good news! Only the devil wants you to believe you are just a sinner saved by grace, hoping to exit this life as soon as possible, because we have been lied to by religious deceivers transforming themselves into ministers, spewing this theological information and opinions, absent of the revelation of the Kingdom and the New Creation transformation in us!
What is a priest? A mediator, a middleman... between God and to People… Ambassador Representative, Full access, Temple duties. If you are a priest, take care of your own temple. You are purchased to rule and reign! Jesus wants you to be so confident, to the point that you will be able to say, “If you see me, you’ve seen the Father.” John 14:9 If you see me, you see Jesus! Because you are in Him! What do people see? This is important, if you are a priest, and if you are taking care of your own temple, they will see the light; if not, they will see something else. If Jesus is the High Priest, He makes us one!
What is an ambassador? An accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country. An ambassador to another country cannot be arrested because they have dominion over that area, and the supreme laws are the ones that belong to the country he is representing. So, in the spiritual realm, satan has no jurisdiction, ability, or legal right. This is why he has you give over those keys to him willingly, by deceiving your mind because of unbelief. He makes you believe a lie to have you hand over your keys and your Kingly scepter!
Who do you say that you are? You might know who He is. But do you know who you are in Him? Who do you say that you are? Don’t let religion steal from you. Who cares what people say you are! Whatever He said you are, be confident in that, in Him. You can’t crucify your own self. To all who believe HE GAVE THEM POWER TO BECOME the VISIBLE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD! Do you know who He said you are? Do you believe on who He said you are! Jesus was the visible image of the invisible God here on Earth (Colossians 1:15). He was the first of many visible images of the invisible God, which are us all! He did not die for you just to believe on Him, but for you to be transformed into His image! Do not stop at the door; enter all the way in Him!
So, if the devil comes to you and you believe, fear, or get intimidated by him, he will just mess with you until you hand him over the apostolic keys. Those keys open and close doors that no man can open or close after you have done it (Revelation 3:8). Rather, it be you opening or closing, so close the door in his face!
Isaiah 22:21-23 talks about committing His government into Jesus’ hand, now that government is given to us. “And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.” Whoa! A house of Judah! Not a house with a bunch of kitty cats! But a house of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! A house of roaring lions! Not a den of thieves but lion’s den! He comes as a lion, but you are a lion. You are of the tribe of Judah!
Take the key, now! “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.” verses 22-23
Isaiah prophesied of Jesus, but now Revelation announced about us, about you, the mystery! There is only one worthy, His name is Jesus! Let the wrath be poured to the unbelievers, but concerning us may us, we are hidden in Him. We have become one with the Lamb, we are the lamb’s wife, hidden in the cleft of the rock! We were removed out Him because of sin but now because the blood of the Lamb of God we are back into Him and we are again one with Him. Great mystery is being revealed in us.
Fear the one who has the keys of eternity! Be bold! Become a living sacrifice! Become what you have been purchased to be! Blessed is he who reads this book and KEEPS IT! Eat it all! You have new ears now (Revelation 3:6-8)! During Isaiah’s time, people could not hear and understand it, but now we do! Who has the Key of David now? You! Who has the power to open and no man can shut? You! Who has the power to shut and no man can open? You! It is all about you turning that key of authority!
Go boldly to the throne of grace and grab that key! He is now saying, “because you have not only read MY WORD but have KEPT MY WORD”... If you keep HIS WORD, you KEEP YOUR IDENTITY!
My Father revealed who Jesus was to Simon Peter (Matthew 16:16-20). You just need to see it; if God gave it to you, no man can take it from you. They will take your ordination, but revelation within, nobody can touch it. Not upon Peter, but He is building His church upon this rock of revelation! Which Church is He building? A Church that knows the image that it carries! What do you want? A title? He called you a son of the creator! What kind of title do you need? Being a son is being co-heir with Christ, and there is no title man can give you better than the title of a son, and with that you receive the title deed of the kingdom of God and the title as a little king in His kingdom!
All you need is to enter again to where you came from! You came out of Him, just like Adam came from God, and here comes Eve out of Adam. Now just go back in Him! Now, He is putting you back in Him, just as it was from the beginning. The second Adam brought you back to where you belong! You were not created at conception; you were planned before He formed you, before He formed you in your mother’s womb! We were created before the foundation of the world. And “I ordained you to be My sons and My daughters in time! Just like I sent My only begotten son, and now I am retroacting you too. You must be born again; you need to go back to the place where you were created!” says God!
…”BEFORE I FORMED YOU, I KNEW YOU AND I ORDAINED YOU TO BE MY SON, MY DAUGHTER, TO BEAR MY IMAGE IN THIS DYING WORLD,” says God. Not to be Baptist, Presbyterian, pastor, apostle, evangelist, but to BE THE IMAGE OF GOD! See, Jeremiah was ordained as a prophet, now the least in the kingdom is greater than all the prophets of old (Luke 7:28). Why? Because Jesus came, died, rose again. Now, we have been adopted as sons and daughters of the King.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
Now, read this scripture again and put your name in that, if God has chosen you, saved you and if you have been born again....”Before I formed you (put your name here), I knew you…” Don’t be afraid to admit it! HE SAID IT! Who is My mother? Who is My brother? Those that do His will! (Matthew 12:48-50) What is His will? Love Him with all your soul, and all that is within you, and you don’t have to worry about a thing. Obey Him so He does not have to break you like a wild horse. Be broken so He can heal your broken heart.
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Verse 19
God has given to us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:16-21). He has reconciled us! We are priests in purity and humility! Do your job as a priest! We are kings in purity and humility! Do your duties as king! “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God” (verse 20). Represent well the Kingdom of God here on Earth! Now then, we are the rib of Christ if want to have a better understanding.I am not talking about marriage between man and woman, but Christ and the Church! Do you believe? Start declaring it! See yourself crucified with Him! Will He find faith when He comes? Will He find anybody who believes in His words? “Help me to keep my eyes on you, Jesus! Help me to take those keys back and never let the devil steal them from me!”
You are a priest not under the order of Melchizedek any longer but under the government of God, the Creator, into the Alpha and the Omega. Now, before Abraham was, have you been reconciled to Him? Have you been crucified with Him? Have you been risen with Him? This is written! We live and breathe and have our being in Him (Acts 17:28); tell the devil to flee!
So, again, I ask you: Who do you say you are? Are you a king? Yes, you are. Under the royal and final authority of the KING OF kings and LORD OF ALL lords! You are a priest under the order of the HIGH PRIEST! Never forget that!
