Life is in the hand of God.
In this blog, we talk about taking our position. We often talk about our positions in the church: Prophets, Evangelists, Elders, Deacons, Ushers, and Door Keepers, etc. but let us talk about being in the position as a child of God.
This position has rights, authority, and entitlements to some things.
We all want to be blessed, but there's no blessing greater than a blessing from a father. Our Father in heaven has the authority to speak blessings over our lives, but first, we have to be in position as children of God.
As children of God, we can live and be seated in heavenly places where He lives, but we can't if we are not righteous.
People get saved just for blessing (healings, marriage, money, cars, and land), but we are entitled too so much more.
We have to know that we are children of God, and be repositioned if we are out of position.
When the church is out of order, we will cause others to be out of order with the word of God.
John 1:9-14
The Bible says the world did not know Him, and He came to His own, and they did not receive Him. This will cause us to be out of position as children of God. People read the word, pray, come to the house of God, and still won't receive Him.
"His own" means belonging to Him. They did not obey or submit to Him.
You can't receive the blessings or be entitled to the blessings of God if you are not positioned as a child of God.
In verse 12, some of His own people received Him, and many did. So to them, He gave them the right or entitlement/authority to become children of God.
It takes something to become children of God. We have to allow the Lord Jesus Christ to create us as children of God.
We cannot make anything. The only thing we can make is our requests to be made known to God - Philippians 4:6.
When we make requests on our own, it can backfire. So when we request things, we have to be careful about what we request. The words we speak are not just words.
We have to know we have the authority to become children of God. Authority is to know who Jesus Christ is, who the Holy Spirit is, who God Jehovah is, and who we are in the kingdom of God.
When we become children of God, it does not mean the enemy won't try to attack us; it just means he won't be able to touch us or destroy us. Why do we use the right to do so many other things but not when it comes to being children of God?
We have to welcome Him in to receive the fullness of what Christ has for us.
What does His name stand for, for you? A lot of people say they believe in His name, but if you have not been saved, delivered, healed, set free, you do not know what His name stands for.
Children submit to and obey their father; they also submit to the will of their father. As children of God, we must submit to the will of God.
As a child of God we walk in favor, truth, and authority. The favor of God causes things to happen; it does not make things happen.
When we don't receive Him we become His enemy. As God's people there's a standard that we have to live by, and this standard protects us from the enemy.
1 John 3:1-6
We cannot pimp Jesus for things. Just because you receive a prophecy does not mean you are a child of God. There are people who just follow prophets to get blessings. They do not want to submit to Christ.
If we do not know that we are children of God we talk to each other any kind of way. The world does not know who we are, but we should know one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. Those that disrespect us are in the world; this is why they speak to us the way they do.
There is no sin in Christ, when He lives in us there should be no sin us.
We have sinned, but we do not have to continue in it.
People don't know how to become righteous. The Bible says if you practice righteousness, you will be righteous.
2 Corinthians 5:16-17
The Bible says, you have not because you ask not. You can only ask as a child of God. Only as a child of God can we be entitled to this.
Paul told the Corinthians we regard no one according to the flesh. As a child of God, we do not regard others according to the flesh. We can never walk out of the flesh into the Spirit until we become children of God.
Christ did not care what people called Him, His mission was to do miracles, signs, and wonders on His way to Calvary. He knew who He was!
We are entitled to become a new creation in Christ. We have to be in Christ to take our position as children of God. Old things make you look, think, talk, act, hear, etc. old. In Christ we do not look, think, talk, act, hear, etc. things the same.
Christ is not an actor, He's just Christ. People act because they are outside of Christ. They act like leaders, prayer warriors, intercessors, etc.
It's not hard to be in Christ. You'll know you are in Christ because old things have passed away (how you react, think, speak, etc). Something new cannot operate in the old.
You have yet to become a child of God when you think you know everything. Do not limit what you know about Christ. Ask for understanding and do not come against what you do not know or understand.
