Honoring Jesus

We have heard quite a lot from within Christian ranks that we should give special leeway for those of other religious viewpoints, yet bow Jesus feetink is not wasted WHEN THE BIBLE SPEAKS of the necessity in honoring the Son of God–JESUS.

“that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” (Jn.5:23, NKJV) 

“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1Tim.2:5)  

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”(Jn.14:6)

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”(Heb.7:25)

The First “Adam” Bomb

bomb explosionAdam’s failure to take dominion over that serpent, creeping creature, was a disobedience that caused a direct disconnect in relationship with the Father Creator, and it caused a breach in Adam and Eve’s domain.  That whisper from the tongue of that creeper, opened a can of stink and his bad breath filled the garden.  It opened the earth to a realm of opposition and contradiction to heaven’s order. This first “ADAM-BOMB” mushroomed over the garden and Adam and Eve were smothering in the smell of failure; so they hid and became fugitives in fig leaves.

Sound In The Garden

gardenWe first see the connection between Kingdom and dominion in the garden. God’s creation was reflecting His governmental order as in heaven and God created Adam to be His earthly-dominion-agent. (Gen 1:28) Adam was to rule over: all God had created in earth: fish, fowl, animals and all creepers in it. There was no opposition to hinder God’s order in the garden. Communion between God and Adam was unobstructed. (The essential Father/son relationship was alive and well.)  So in Gen. 3, when the voice or sound of the Lord came walking in the garden, that was nothing unusual except that, earlier that day, there was another voice or sound in the garden, a hiss, a whisper of the serpent.  (The root word for serpent in Hebrew is “hiss” which means “whisper, enchant or prognosticate.”)  He slithered into the garden with a whisper, and he slithered out with a stolen taste of dominion.  Under the influence of that trespasser’s sound, man gave the devil a seat on his board of dominion.

Honoring Mothers

Mother n child

 

As the people of God assemble today, may they encourage and honor the mothers who have stood lovingly and faithfully with their children and bless the mothers who have raised their children in the way that they should go so that their lives might be blessed by the truths of the Word of God. May they stand firm in the foundation their godly mothers have left them.

“when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.” (2Tim.1:5, NKJV)

Breathe Free And Deep

breathe inMay you breathe freer and deeper than before and may you actively participate with loved ones and friends in memory-making events. May you live and use your breath to praise God more and more, and speak of Him more and more.

“Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” (Ps.150:6, KJV)

Reflecting Father’s Government

ReflectionDominion is a noun the same as “faith” is a noun.  Dominion, like Faith, is one of those nouns that requires action.  Dominion, like faith, is a posture, a means, a response to truth and the character of God.  Dominion, like faith, starts with a God-focus.  We can think of dominion as a son’s part on earth to see that things here reflect Father’s government order and plan. So, the anthem of dominion is “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Governmental Order Of God

First, let me define some terms that I will be using.  “Kingdom of God” is the rule and governmental order of God in effect.  “Dominion” is governing or ruling in a domain which is a territory street mapor  sphere of influence and responsibility or the roads you run and world you live in.  The “Dominion Mandate” is God’s authorization and instructions to govern and establish and maintain the plan, purpose and governmental order of God in the earth, in the territory God appointed us.  It is authorization to rule from Sovereign authority, not our sovereign authority, but HIS.  So the most important element of dominion is connection, relationship with our Sovereign Authority, God.  Anyone outside that relationship is moving in distorted dominion.  The last term is the “Adam-Bomb,” which is the first disobedience and breach in the Dominion Mandate.

Presence Of Mind

Water Cooler Gossip

May the Lord give us wisdom and presence of mind for where we are and who we are with. May He give us presence of mind to say the appropriate thing and withhold the thing that would not edify or bring resolve. May He reveal to us those things that simply are not necessary to say in a situation that might possibly only add confusion or even misdirect. May our Lord mercifully give us redemptive words that are life and wisdom.

 

“You’ll speak to him and tell him what to say. I’ll be right there with you as you speak and with him as he speaks, teaching you step by step.” (Ex.4:15, Msg)
