Being on a mission is the matter of the heart. We as intercessors are on a heart mission for Yahweh to advance His Kingdom and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua who came to destroy the works of the devil and take back what belongs to Him.
I wanted to share with you the foundational authority that the Lord has shown me that we have and need to draw from to fulfill our mission as intercessors.
Today He takes me to Rev 5 in the book of the Revelation of Jesus the Messiah. John is weeping at the thought that there is/ was no one worthy to open the scroll and break the seals that kept it from being read. But then it is revealed that Yeshua, the Lion of the tribe of Judah "won" the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.
"You are worthy to take the scroll and break (dissolve) it's seals
because you were slaughtered; at the cost of blood, You ransomed for God
persons from every tribe, language, people and nation.
You made them into a kingdom (that's us) for God to rule,
a Priesthood to serve Him
and they (that's us) will rule over the earth".
Here's our authority and our role. We advance God's Kingdom with a divinely commissioned dominion and delegated authority to bring others into His kingdom and under His ruling authority. When you know your authority (at its source) you will never doubt its power. The seals (IMO) represent the power Satan has used against and over humanity since the fall.
History is cyclic and we have experienced the devil's attacks over and over . At the Cross, Yeshua defeated the devil, broke his power over humanity and we now operate from the place of victory and not victimization. The fallen elohim (celestial beings) have had their rulership taken away but their lives were prolonged for a time and a season. (Daniel 7:11).
Exercising our dominion over these other-realm beings and their opposition of our Kingdom is our training for reigning here on earth.
We do not war in the flesh, rather:
2 Corinthians 10:4, "The weapons that we war with are mighty in God to the bringing down of strongholds, casting down arguments and everything that exalts itself against the "knowledge" of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...."
Our words have power. Thoughts become spoken words and spoken words create, just as God brought all things into existence through His spoken word. As His imagers, we have similar power in our words to create good as we declare His love, His beauty, and His structure, His will over everything we see that is out of His Order. Evil is chaos. As we proclaim His Kingdom here on earth, order and peace overtakes chaos and confusion and darkness, thereby replacing it. As we declare, like Yahweh did back in the beginning: "Let there be Light" over the darkness, the Hebrew word is OHR and that word for light translates to bring order out of chaos. Where we declare His light, darkness recedes. Jesus IS the LIGHT of the world and so are we!
The important point is that WE GET IT. We have been restored to our rightful role as Yahweh's priests, to co-labor with Him in the government of His Created world. "Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, subdue, and rule over all He created". (Gen 1:28) Now, it's up to us to take up the mantle of this authority and be the conduit for His Kingdom to come here on earth and His will to be done here, as in Heaven.
This understanding lays the foundation we have as our justification, and is the baseline for our ordained assignment to make the proclamations, decree, and declarations of Yahweh's promises, precedents, and commands from His Word that we now speak out and over the world that touches our lives.
Remember we must stand in agreement for what we desire to see happen in our world (according to the Word) and proclaim it OUT LOUD. That's the point and power of our declarations. By the spoken word of Yahweh everything came into existence and we have that capability to create good works through our spoken words. We take claim to the word and promise Jesus spoke in Matt 18.
I encourage you to grab a prayer partner and start with things that touch your heart and represent a burden to see the Kingdom of Heaven manifest in circumstances here on earth.
Have a blessed day and remember:
The Holy Spirit is calling. Can you hear Him?
