The word of GOD to my Lord: “Sit alongside me here on my throne until I make your enemies a stool for your feet.”
Interesting statement we have here. God invites us wholeheartedly to sit with Him in the place of judgment. Remember how Paul tears apart all protocol and declares in Hebrews that we are to enter boldly into the throne of grace. We have such audacity because the invitation comes from the King himself. If you have ever watched a Night with the King, you would remember how Hadassah prays and fasts before she approaches Xerxes her own husband. We have no such fear now, because the King has already extended his scepter of righteousness to us.
You were forged a strong scepter by GOD of Zion; now rule, though surrounded by enemies!
Esther has entered in and now she has the ears of the King. It is decidedly important that we know this – God is sworn eternally to grant victory to His own. His ears are forever inclined towards those with hearts for him. In the furnace of eternity God fashions us as His instruments of righteousness. It is by this Righteousness, not ours which is far less hygienic than a used sanitary pad that we rule. It is this Righteousness forged in the blood of the lamb that grants us access.
Your people will freely join you, resplendent in holy armor on the great day of your conquest, Join you at the fresh break of day, and join you with all the vigor of youth.
Those that wait upon the Lord - Like waiters in a 5-star restaurant we stand in the place of worship and minister to the LORD. It is intentional, deliberate There is a weighted purpose in the way we carry ourselves. We attend to His every desire. Praise looks good on the believer. We come in reverence to the throne room at the dawn of a new day. Like priests we offer the sacrifice of praise. Therein is our strength. Have you forgotten Nehemiah who said the joy of the Lord is our strength?
Our holy armor is fortified by joy unspeakable and full of glory.
GOD gave his word and he won’t take it back:
Stop the presses! WOAAAAH!
God has given HIS WORD and won’t take it back… are you reading what I am reading? Are you thinking what I am thinking? There is finality about things when God’s word enters the equation - End of Discussion.
You know many of us carry our problems on our head like the lights in heaven would flicker, blink or stutter if God was to try to solve them. Stoppeeeet!!! God says you are my permanent priest!
Do you know that if one single WORD (Logos) of God fails, the whole earth would crumble? I know they didn’t teach you this in ‘Integrated Science’ but gravity, magnetism, electricity, everything is held together by God’s word.
You’re the permanent priest, the Melchizedek priest. The Lord stands true at your side, crushing kings in his terrible wrath, Bringing judgment on the nations, handing out convictions wholesale, crushing opposition across the wide earth. You are a royal priesthood - a unique line of King- Priests.
Where the word of the King is there is power. A holy nation - You are a member of that family – the family of that enigmatic and mysterious man Melchizedek. Natural men cannot comprehend your lifestyle because you live in the realm of the Spirit.
Read Psalm 2, the kings of this earth may gather to stifle you but they can’t. Just laugh.
He will drink from any stream that he chooses, while winning victory after victory. (Verse 7… CEV)
This verse more than any speaks to me. When you are in the center of God’s will – you are assured of victory. Whatever you lay your hands on, your hands automatically transfers the seed of prosperity into that thing. Within that sphere you are at liberty to choose because there is a confidence that victory is yours.
This is the secret of those who are more than conquerors. They don’t go into battle to flex their muscles. They wage wars to simply back that which is already theirs.
