Christian by Rev. Marg West Jesus - King oî Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus wasn't bcmn ust to be King of the Jews He was bom so that He could be King of the whole world. 0f course we need to have people here on earth to operate in the natural because the rule of Jesus is a Spiritual rule. If we had people here on eartli who could heur the voice of Jesus speaking to them guiding them, instructing them we wouldnt be in the mess we are today. In Isaiah Chapter 9 verse 6, Isaiah told of the birth of Jesus years before Jesus was born. Isaiah was in tune with God. God talked to Isaiah. Listen to what Isaiah says, "For unto us a child is boni, unto us a s on is giv en; and the govermment shah be upon His shoulder. and His namne shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Jesus was given to take upon Himiself ALL SIN, ALL SICKNESS, ALL POVERTY, EVERY DISEASE. The ruling of the goverrinent of every country and every niunicipality is suppose to be ruled by Jesus through the Spirit realm. How many are? Not many Christians are in places of rule and they should be. God did flot intend for mani to take complete authority over anything except he be i the Spirit of God. Isaiah said His name is Wonderful yet how many people i a day do you hear curse in Jesus namne or dam i the name of God. When people do this they are actually asking God to danin you. Jesus is our Counsellor, yet we have untold thousands running to al Idnds of counsellors trying to get help. Jesus is the one' we are supposed to be running to. Jesus is the Mighty God, Jesu-s came to ~'~earth as God in the flesh, He isthe everlasting Father, He always was and always will be. Jesus is the Prince of peace. What does peace mean in your life? Do you have peace. Cali on Jesus He is the Prince of PEACE. Only Jesus cari truly give you peace. lu Matthew Chapter 2, verse 1 and 2 tells, 'When Jesus was boni in Bethlehern of Judea, i the days of Herod the king, behold, there came WISE men frorn the east to Jerusalem, saying, where is he that Corner is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, aid are corne to worship him." These men from the east were WISE men thre bible says. 1 don't know if they were college graduates or just ordinary men who recognized that something extraordinary had happened and they wanted to get in on it. Myself I think they were wise because they heard the Spirit of God speaking to them aid witnessed the star showing the place where Jesus was boni, aid they acted on what they heard and seen. Now when we look at verse 3 sarne chapter we see, 'When Herod the king had heard these thigs, (the thmngs of verses one aid two) he was troubled, aid ail Jerusalemn with hirn." Herod was upset, he thought he was king and now hes hearing about another King of the Jews. Now isn't that just like the devil, aiy good news concerning Jesus and hes mad. Herod waits to find this new baby the one who is being worshipped. He is jealous and wants to get rid of Jesus. Hfe waited to get rid of Hirn 50 bad that Ire kilîs ail children two years aid under i Bethlehem, hopixig he would kill Jesus too. But Jesus' Urne wasn't yet aid he was saved. Let's worship the truc King of kings and Lord of lords this blessed season. Jesus was boni, to be crucified se that we right have everything He came to give us, Health, Prosperity, Love, Joy, Peace, Everlasting Life. Jesus Iras done ail He can do. He died. If we wait those things He came to give us, we have to possess thern. How do you possess things, you take thern. You cai only take them if you have thre authority otherwise its stealing. Ask Jesus to cone into your life today, then you will have the authority to possess what you need i your life. The authority is ithre name of Jesus. Have a safe and Blessed Holiday Season.
