Authority - 17

Let’s continue our discussion on righteousness and talk for a moment on the scepter of righteousness. In Hebrews 1:8 we read: But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. A scepter is an emblem of authority. Being righteous as God is righteous gives you authority. The emblem of authority in the Kingdom of God is righteousness. Until you understand that you are righteous, that you are right with God when you are born again, you will not be able to exercise your authority and see results. Study righteousness for yourself personally until you get it, until you know it, until no one can take away from you the knowledge of who you are and what you have in Christ Jesus. You must be so sure of your righteousness that you could enter into a debate with the world’s greatest debater (and actually you do every day where satan is concerned) and come out of that debate more convinced than ever of who you are and what you have in Christ Jesus.

God’s eyes are open to your righteousness. He sees you as righteous. His ears are open to your prayers. He hears you as His righteous one, the one with rights in Heaven.

Every child of God has exactly the same standing with the Father God as Jesus because of what Jesus has done. And until you accept that as being a settled fact in your mind as it is in Jesus’ and God’s mind, you cannot experience the fullness of the victorious life while you are living here on this earth. God sees you the same way He sees Jesus. You are co-heirs with the Father with the same rights, the same privileges, the same access to the Father, because He is just as much your Father as He is Jesus’ Father. He loves you just as much as He loves Jesus. I know your human, earthly mind cannot accept that, but tell your mind to accept the Word of God as it stands. You will see a difference in the way you pray and the results you get in prayer. Prayer will become a privilege and an honor to stand before your Father and know that you can bring your petition before Him and He will grant it. That is an awesome feeling to know that God loves you and will answer your request.

You are God’s righteous one with certain privileges and rights.
In John 1:12 we read: Those who receive Jesus are given the power, the right, the privilege, the authority to become sons of God, even to those who believe on His name.

Because you have been made the righteousness of God and set free from the law of sin and death, you are dead to sin. Consider it done.

Let’s look at another thing Jesus has done for you when He redeemed you. He carried your sicknesses and diseases and your pain.

It’s God’s will for you to be well.

God has a covenant of healing with you. That was even spoke in the Old testament in Exodus 15:22-26 when he said that He is the Lord that heals you. And we must address the verbiage in that passage in verse 26 where we read in English that God would put none of the diseases on you that He put on the Egyptians. That verb is used in the permissive sense in the original language, which means that God has to permit whatever you permit to happen to yourself by your disobedience to Him. He has bound Himself to His Word. And His Word says that if you do not hearken to His voice and obey Him, disease will come, tragedy will come. Why? Because you have put yourself out in the open where satan and his curse exists. As long as you obey God and His Word, you are protected from all the sickness and disease that is out there in the world. The symptoms may come on you to get you to buy it, but don’t buy it. There has been a price paid for your healing by Jesus on the cross. So don’t buy sickness and disease when something else has already been bought for you.

In Deuteronomy 28:15,22,27,28,58-60 and 1 Kings 8:33-40, we see that sickness comes because of disobedience, which is sin. Sickness is part of the curse. Jesus took the curse for us, according to Galatians 3:13,14 so, as long as we are obedient to God and His Word, why should we submit to something which has already been taken care of for us? Rejoice, you are healed!
