Reigning as Kings

golfjack · Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 7:17 am Post subject: Reigning as Kings

Roman's 5:17, For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of rightiousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. The Amplified Bible says we shall reign as kings in life through the one, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the anointed One. God's plan for us is that we rule and reign in life as kings: to rule and reign over circumstances, poverty, disease, and everything else that would hinder us. We reign because we have authority. We reign by Jesus Christ. In the next life? No, in this life. If we're going to sing something or say something, let's be sure it's in line with the Word of God. Some people sing, "Here I wonder, like a beggar, through the heat and the cold or Precious Jesus, don't forget me", all kinds of unbelief.

We're not wandering like beggars, because we're not beggars. We're children of God, heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:17). We're the Body of Christ. We're seated with Christ at the right hand of Majesty on High, far above all principalitiesand power and might and dominion, glory to God.

May God bless, golfjack

Not many christians ... really feel like reigning kings.

Most believe that if we were really reigning kings, why can't we walk into a hospital and clear ALL of the rooms?

Jesus could do it, right? Wrong.

Even Christ was at the mercy of the faith, or lack of faith, of those people who refused to accept Him as being able to help.

We are His new creation
