OK. Go with me to the book of Revelation
and let's look at three different chapters.
In Chapter 1:5-6, we read,
5 AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS
THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, AND THE
FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, AND
THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS OF THE
EARTH. UNTO HIM THAT LOVED US, AND
WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS
OWN BLOOD,
6 AND HATH MADE US KINGS AND
PRIESTS UNTO GOD AND HIS FATHER;
TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION FOR
EVER AND EVER. AMEN.
Glory to God! He, Jesus, has not only
washed us from our sins in HIS OWN
BLOOD. He, the High Priest, has made us
kings and priests unto God and His
Father! Now you know where the phrase
"King of kings and LORD of lords" comes
from. It is referring to YOU! Remember,
we sit with Him in heavenly places. It's a
heavenly calling.
Now, on to Chapter 5:9-10:
9 AND THEY SUNG A NEW SONG,
SAYING, THOU ART WORTHY TO TAKE
THE BOOK, AND TO OPEN THE SEALS
THEREOF: FOR THOU WAST SLAIN, AND
HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY
BLOOD OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, AND
TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION;
10 AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD
KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL
REIGN ON THE EARTH.
Not only are we kings and priest unto our
God, but WE SHALL REIGN. Do you have
on your shouting clothes? Feast your
eyes on that 10th verse in the Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition:
10 AND YOU HAVE MADE THEM A
KINGDOM (ROYAL RACE) AND PRIESTS
TO OUR GOD, AND THEY SHALL REIGN
[AS KINGS] OVER THE EARTH!
Glory to God! We have been made a royal
race that shall reign as kings over the
earth. Now, look at Chapter 20:6:
6 BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE THAT HATH
PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION: ON
I DECLARE MY AUTHORITY (AS A KING) OVER MY FINANCIAL LIFE.
I TAKE MY PLACE IN THE ANOINTED ONE OVER THE HEALTH OF MY KINGDOM—
MY HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH.
IN KING JESUS I REIGN OVER THE CURSE OF THE LAW AND TAKE MY PLACE
AS THE BLESSED OF GOD!
I FIX MY THOUGHTS ON JESUS, MY APOSTLE AND HIGH PRIEST.
I AM SEATED ON MY SPIRITUAL THRONE—NEXT TO MY KING JESUS—
IN THE HEAVENLIES.
