The Power and Authority of a King!

 

In the last blog post, I left off with God the Father saying something that would forever change my life. God the Father said to me: "No matter how you feel, promise that you will always come to me." You need to understand that was not a god speaking to a mortal type of relationship; that was a father speaking to a son, and that is what I felt deep in my heart. I started to understand that the Father was everything Yeshua (Jesus) said He was and more, so much love and power. I agreed to come and speak with him no matter how I felt or what was happening. It is truly like Chris Tomlin's hit song. He is a "Good Good Father." He can not deny or hide himself. Yeshua (Jesus) is so important because he reveals the Father to us. 

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. (Luke 10:22 KJV)

The next day after this glorious encounter, I was under attack spiritually by the demonic prince of depression. I mean, I literally saw the demonic prince come to my home and just started to assault me spiritually. I was so depressed and in so much despair that I stayed in my house on the couch all that day. I would walk around slouching because I could not stand up straight. This attack was so oppressive, and it was unrelenting. I started to hear things like, "You will never be what God has called you to be, ""You are a nobody," "You will never succeed in anything," "Why Would God want you?", "Look at how everyone deserted you," and "You are a loser, and you always were." These thoughts were running through my mind all that day, and I could not stop seeing these dark shrouds coming around me. 

Honestly, I did not know what to do with them because it was hard for me to argue with what they were saying. I knew that these were lies, but what could I say I had no idea how to respond. Why? Because these were the exact questions I was asking myself. I am the youngest in my family, and if you know anything about being the youngest, especially in the African-American community, your opinions and thoughts do not matter. You are taught to bend and yield you basically learn how to take what you get and be happy with it. I was overlooked my whole life in school, basketball, etc. Always felt like I had to prove something like I belonged, but even after proving myself still being pushed aside or taken advantage of. These spirits were tormenting me with such damning thoughts that I was starting to even doubt what God was doing with me. I had been overlooked and mistreated so many times. Now, God was noticing me? Now, God was calling me to something higher? It was hard to believe, mainly because I was comparing myself to other gospel preachers. I started to say, "Maybe God wants to use them more than me because people would actually listen to them; not even my family would listen to me, so how am I going to get others to listen." 

I could not take the despair anymore, so I started praying, asking the Lord what was happening and what I was to do. I felt so much despair and pain in my heart, but I said at the end of my prayer, "Lord, I do not know what is happening, but I trust you. No matter what, I trust you. Amen." No more than five seconds after saying amen, I heard the Lord speak to me.

The Lord asked me, 

" Why did you come to me as a priest? I made you a king come to me as a king!"

 The Lord repeated that phrase again, and then I got up from my couch and headed into the living room to do what the Lord was telling me to do. Now, if you recall, in the last blog post, I had my coronation, but I had no idea how to activate that power or how to step into that office. I asked the Holy Spirit what I should do because I was taught from the Word of God that if any man lacks wisdom let him ask of God, and Yeshua (Jesus) said that the Holy Spirit would lead into all truth. The Holy Spirit told me to prophetically grab hold of my scepter and put on my crown. I did the motion of grabbing my scepter, and I did the motion of putting on my crown just as the Holy Spirit instructed me. Immediately, I was taken straight to heaven, and I felt like a dark cloak that was on me just ripped off of me. I was standing before God the Father, and I saw Yeshua (Jesus) standing next to the Father in front of his seat. Yeshua (Jesus) was wearing a crown and had a red sash around his robe, and He smiled like he was waiting for me. I felt so much joy and power coursing through my body so much power that I felt that I could do anything. 

I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] (Philippians 4:13 AMP)

The Father has a great sense of humor. He looked at me and smiled, 

"Now, tell me what's wrong."

I looked to the Almighty, and I said, "Absolutely nothing!" I began to prophesy over myself and my destiny. I felt I was decreeing and declaring everything God had for me. I rebuked the lies of the enemy; I proclaimed the goodness of God; I spoke things that I had no idea where they were coming from, and they were flowing out of me. After I finished and said amen, the Father looked at Yeshua (Jesus) and said, "Amen."

Let me give you a crash course on the word, Amen. Amen means "so be it." I was so amazed at what just happened that I knew that I was completely healed and delivered from that spirit of depression. That happened almost 8 years ago, and you know what I am still delivered, I have not fallen under that spirit ever since. Glory to God forever! Glory to the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) for his love and faithfulness! Later, I asked the Lord why I was able to overcome depression just by being a king. The Lord answered me,

"Because he was a prince, but you are a king. Just by title alone, you outrank and overpower him. You and my people are battling principalities (prince demons), but I made you kings so that you could overcome them easily. I put you in a rank and class that overpowers them. As soon as you became a king, the prince had no more power over you." 

Here are some scripture passages that back up what the Lord told me:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12 KJV)

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:6 KJV)

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Luke 22:29-30 KJV)

Isn't that glorious? If you accept Yeshua (Jesus) into your life, accept what He has done, and become a King in His Kingdom, then you, too, shall overcome every principality and power that rises up against you, your family, and even your whole region. 

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:18-20 KJV)

Listen to me carefully because I want you to understand this more than anything. Having power and authority over demons is excellent, but I tell you the truth, nothing beats having a genuine relationship with the Lord. No matter how much power and authority the Lord gives you never take that over the relationship with the Lord.
