TOPIC: Your Present And Permanent Place of Domicile
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13).
Rhapsody of Realities 5th December 2024 – Thursday Message:
Our opening scripture says God has transferred us from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of His Love-Son. That’s where you are now. The transfer wasn’t a process; it’s not something that happens from time to time; it’s already been effectuated, and it was a permanent transfer. Your present and permanent place of domicile is the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son.
The question is: do you realize you’re in His Kingdom? It’s important to know this because it means you’re not
under the dominion of Satan. You’re seated together with Christ, “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).
Recall what the Bible says about our Lord Jesus Christ in 1 Timothy 6:15-16: He’s the “…blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto….” In other words, He only has immortality (life, “deathlessness”) and dwells in unapproachable light. He is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5), and you’re in Him.
That means in you, there’s no darkness, no sickness, disease or infirmity, nothing of Satan because you were born into God’s Kingdom of light—His marvellous light: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
If this is true, and thank God it is, how can you have cancer? Where will diabetes, hypertension, heart condition, migraine headache, etc., come from since you presently and permanently dwell in the Kingdom of God’s LoveSon where there’s no darkness but light; where life and immortality reign? How can the devil oppress you when you’re not under his jurisdiction?
In Luke 10:19, the Lord said, “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.” It’s the reason you can say, “In the Name of Jesus, I refuse to accommodate Satan and anything from him; I belong in the Kingdom of God’s LoveSon, Jesus Christ, with dominion over Satan, sickness, disease, death and the demons of darkness.” Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I’m in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son, where there’s no darkness, disease, failure or death. I’m seated with Christ, far above all principality, power, might, dominion and everything that’s named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Amen.
