He That Overcometh (continued)

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “He that Overcometh” – it is incumbent for us to understand that the greatness of the Kingdom of our God under the whole heaven, shall be given to “the saints of the most High” (Daniel 7:27). We shall “rule [the entire world] with a rod of iron” (Revelation 2:27). But wait a minute – there will be no need to rule the world with such force in eternity, because there shall be nothing of sin in the new world. Remember, Isaiah prophesied that “The wolf and the lamb shall feed together….They shall not hurt nor destroy [each other]” (Isaiah 65:25). This is teaching us that even the animals shall be at peace in the new world. Therefore, this scripture must refer to this present world. In other words, the saints are supposed to rule with an “iron rod” (which represents the Word of God) right now!! That means that Daniel prophesied about what he saw today!! We have received Word from our God, the authority of everything under the “heaven” (Daniel 7:27).

Precious Ones, moreover, God said, “And I will give him [that overcometh] the morning star” (Revelation 2:28). We know, Beloved, that the “morning star” is the star and scepter of Jacob. We also know without a shadow of a doubt that the “Star…of Jacob and…Scepter [or ruler/governor]…of Israel” is Jesus Christ, our Savior (see Numbers 24:17). Remember that He distinctly declared, “I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

Chosen Ones, all this means is that with Jesus as “the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2) we have all the authority and power on this earth. The challenge is that we need to become more like “overcomers” and use what authority has been given unto us.

I will write more on this subject next week. Until then know this – it’s the same every week and will never change…

I love you ALL so very much.
In His love,
Your servant,
