The Believer's Starting Point for Outworking Victory!


























In our ever increasing lawless day the believer in Jesus Christ better be working from a position - by faith - that will help one see the ETERNAL or that individual will be swept away in Satan's deceptive tsunami with the rest of the world. No matter what comes our way daily in this fallen world the blood bought believer in Jesus Christ is to always work from our position and standing in Jesus Christ the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God (Rom. 8:1, 26-39, Eph. 1:3, 7, 2:6, Col. 3:1-4, 1 John 1:8-9, 2:2,12, Rev. 1:5). Today one has to wonder how many "Christians" who do know the Lord as their personal Savior pray from this position of AUTHORITY AND POWER?
.
We MUST see the temporal things of this world (time) in light of our wondrous ETERNAL position!

It is from here my beloved, from the ETERNAL position of pardon, redemption and seated position at the Right Hand of Almighty God the Father's throne in Christ with ALL spiritual blessing where all ETERNITY bows that we are to engage in our warfare here in time against the wiles of the Devil (the slander Eph. 6:12), our fallen nature (Rom. 7:14-25, 8:1, 1 John 1:8-9, Rev. 1:5), and the lawless consequences of godless men and women (Rom. 1:18-32). We MUST see the temporal things of this world (time) in light of our wondrous ETERNAL position! No wonder countless believers today are ship wrecked, depressed, discouraged and distraught as they try to work out "their will" and call it "God's will" in the subjective confines of time with ZERO ETERNAL perspective and light.in which to work from. Satan and his fallen angelic minions are having a well executed field day today over the ETERNALLY redeemed of Almighty God, dividing, suppressing, discouraging, distracting, misleading, oppressing and imprisoning the Heirs of ETERNAL LIFE (Rom. 8:26-38, Eph. 1:1-23) with the subjective realm of time's prison bars and the limited confines of this world (Eccl. 1, 3).

We MUST see the temporal things of this world (time) in light of our wondrous ETERNAL position! No wonder countless believers today are ship wrecked, depressed, discouraged and distraught as they try to work out "their will" and call it "God's will" in the subjective confines of time with ZERO ETERNAL perspective and light in which to work from.

Beloved, can an elephant fit in a small box? Can the moon be placed in your back pocket? Can the Titanic fit in your drinking glass? Can the trillions of galaxies of Almighty God's glorious universe fit inside Fenway Park? Then how can a redeemed child of the Savior and heir and possessor of ETERNAL LIFE, who is seated in Christ Jesus at the pinnacle of ETERNITY (John 1:12, Rom. 8:28-39, Gal. 4:7, Eph. 1:1-23, 2:1-6, Col. 3:1-4, 1 Peter 2:9) be contained in this little physical realm called time? We MUST see things from our ETERNAL position and standing BY FAITH and it is there that our VICTORY is found and our TRUE liberation from Satan's subjective strangle hold and oppressive reign (1 Cor. 1:29-31, 15:57, Gal. 1:4). No wonder Satan wants us out of it, for if we as the Bride of Christ possessed such WONDERS we would be unstoppable (1 John 5:4)!!

We must FULLY comprehend and possess that our war is NOT with flesh and blood (the physical tangible things of this physical fallen world) but with the arch fallen angel Lucifer and his demonic disciples who ARE working from an ETERNAL position and his godless fallen sheep of this age (Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Cor. 4:-34, Eph. 6:12). My dearly beloved may I say it again, we MUST FULLY comprehend and posses that our standing and position in Christ is SURE and REAL (Eph. 1:1-23, 2:1-12, Col. 3:1-4). Beloved, it is as sure as two plus two equals four and water is wet! However... Until we FULLY allow Almighty God the Holy Spirit to teach us and lead us in the Father's will for our lives here in time (John 16:13, Rom. 8:26-39, 1 Thess. 5:19) and apply the wondrous sound ABSOLUTES (spiritually and morally) which are found in Almighty God's INFALLIBLE Word we will NEVER possess these wondrous REALITIES and TRUTHS and be subject to the chains and shackles of this physical temporal world and it's god (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph.2:1-2, 1 John 5:19).

Until we FULLY allow Almighty God the Holy Spirit to teach us and lead us in the Father's will for our lives here in time and apply the wondrous sound ABSOLUTES (spiritually and morally) which are found in Almighty God's INFALLIBLE Word we will NEVER possess these wondrous REALITIES and TRUTHS and be subject to the chains and shackles of this physical temporal world and it's god.

Dear Christian friend, do you personally possess these wondrous TRUTHS and REALITIES in your life that pertain to you? Dearly beloved, it is an absolute tragedy if we as believers today do not. OH, how we will be ETERNALLY missing out and ashamed when we finally see Him face to Face (1 John 3:1-4). Our lives are ETERNALLY greater than the temporal vain years of our existence in this fallen world and time. Beloved, we ought to be possessing and walking in our ETERNAL position by faith with an ETERNAL perspective as we cross the busy street of this vain life knowing and possessing that it is NEVER in vain to serve the Lord, that the Day of the Lord is at hand and the establishment of His 1000 year kingdom here in time is very nigh (Isa. 2:1-4, Isa.11, Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Mic. 4:1-4, Zech. 14, Rev. 20:1-10)! The trumpet is about to blow my beloved and may we ALL be found FULLY occupying and possessing in Spirit and in TRUTH Almighty God's WONDROUS TRUTHS and REALITIES until our Savior meets us in the air (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 15:51-58, 1 Thess. 4:13-18,1 John 3:1-4)! Even so come Lord Jesus!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!

Alan, Thanks for your reply!

Indeed! We need the ETERNAL perspective that Almighty God gives by faith in His Word

Eph. 3:20!
