So today many people believe we are war with the world, and at war with nonbelievers and at war with other people in whatever their respected faith beliefs. However the victory has been had by Jesus and God is reigning always and forever. The freedom, light and love we received from God should be freeing. Of course there may people who will be indifferent to learning about God or not care, but God gives them life everyday and we are always constantly choosing what we or them are going to do. In a sense every day is judgment day, and we are all judging if we will serve God or if we will simply serve ourselves.
Here are some scriptures you may not have seen in a while but thought would share them with you.
Read them to yourself as you feel led to may God give the increase and the spirit guide.
“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”
Matthew 28:18 NKJV
“Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”
John 12:31 NKJV — (Who was the ruler of that world in that time, do you remember?)
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”
Romans 5:6-11 NKJV
“For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.”
Romans 14:11-13 NKJV — Notice who is speaking here. Who is doing the saying?
“For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”
I Corinthians 15:27-28 NKJV —- Romans 11:36 — Colossians 3:11 — commentary suggest Gods over all redemptive plan
“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
II Corinthians 5:18-21 NKJV
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:5-11 NKJV —- second time Paul states what the every knee should bow
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
I Timothy 2:1-4 NKJV
Jesus has had the victory over this world, Satan and his demons, and that all of now today are living in (a spiritual sense) the garden of Eden now. Where we partake of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, or we partake of the tree of life. There will people who openly receive it, there will be those who do not. We are called to love these people, and all people for it is good and please to the Father that we should make such sacrifices even if it is hard to do. The word of God is what we use to renew our mind but God is reigning always. God is not longer mad at the world, and Satan has been defeated, because of the Victory of Jesus!
At the end of life you will be set free from this flesh that serves the law of sin yet in the mind delights in the law of God.
Have love, patience, kindness, all by the spirit as God gives you the increase, read the Bible to renew your mind, but have faith and trust in Jesus and the victory he has had.
God reigns over the world now.
