There Is A King In You

I was on my break and began to think about Donald Lawrence’s song and I was so encouraged. The cares of this life can sometimes make us forget who we are. We are children of the most high God yet we sometimes look at ourselves as if we are peasants and powerless. The word of God says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9.

When I think about a king, I think: ruler, power, and royalty. I looked up the word king and I saw the words: chief authority and preeminent. Wow, did you just see that! We have the ability to rule over and surpass any situation and circumstance that we may encounter. If this is the case, why aren't we walking in our authority?

The devil tries to imitate the Big Bad Wolf by huffing and puffing and threatening to blow our houses down. Sometimes as soon as we hear the howl of the wind or feel our houses began to tremble, we run for cover. We fall down to floor and place our head between our knees while covering it with our hands like we are in the midst of a tornado. However as kings, we should stand flat-footed and speak to the wind, the sickness, the unforgiveness, the bills, the depression, the malice, the anxiety, the confusion, the hurt, the pain, and say PEACE BE STILL!!

God has given us the ability to command everything to line up according to His word. He said that the works He did we would be able to do the same and then some. His word also says "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 NIV. Can we just give God praise right there!!! We are from Him. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords!! His spirit lives in us. So do you know what that means??

That's right! We are victorious in every area of our life! We are more the conquerors! We are overcomers! We never are defeated. I love what my pastor, Dr. Parrott, says, "when you are in God failure is not failure but a seed to your success". So don't be discouraged about what may have looked like a set back. Remember if you are in Christ and love Him, it's working for your good. There is a king in you!!!

Until next time....
