FAR ABOVE ALL RULE - PART 9

WEDNESDAY 17 JULY 2024

Today's article will deal with the final exposition of the segment: far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, before I move to the next segment. More below!

Reference: Ephesians 1:20-21 New International Version (NIV)

"...and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."

In every perception of our authority and superiority in Christ, the Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that our supreme authority has been established forever - far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. Why? We have been filled by Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority (Colossians 2:10 HCSB).

Admittedly, God arranged for every other rule and authority to be under our jurisdiction or control in Christ, and He has passed down the authority of Christ through the past ages - to us. So I have gained and mastered the unspeakable privilege of handling them as I desire. Got it?

In every revelation of divine counsel that influences our spiritual encounters and earthly experiences, the inspiration and ability of the Spirit always lift us up far above all rule and authority, principalities and power, spiritual forces and dominion.

The same truth was specified in Pauline epistolary expression numbered as Ephesians 6:12, which is another versified statement of parallelism, worthy of notice, as we consider the hierarchy of all rule and authority, power and dominion - in the heavenly realms. Put in another way, let's consider how Colossians 2:10 relates to Ephesians 6:12 below: 

Ephesians 6:12 (LEB)

"...our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Beloved, apostle Paul informs that we are not contending with physical opponents, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. Although Pauline epistolary expression in Ephesian 6:12 rendered it as the saints fighting or wrestling against:

1. Rulers,

2. Authorities,

3. Forces of cosmic darkness, and

4. Spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly realms,

This is exactly my perspective about it: I am positioned far above rulers, far above the negative powers, far above the master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness, and far above the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Why? That's my fixed cognizance and mentality in Christ.

I always operate far above them all because they are subject to my absolute dominion and control. This equally means that they are constantly intimidated by the overwhelming presence of Christ in me whenever I show up. Got it? And this is because I belong to a realm which they cannot withstand, comprehend or fathom with their finite minds due to their limited entirety of operations. 

So I have a heightened degree of dominance and strongpoint that empowers me to always function in my position as the head over every kind of ruler and authority, with an unquestionable dominion and indomitable authority that can handle them, and put them where they belong - under my feet. My position and inextricable oneness with Christ Jesus makes them too inferior, and as a supreme god and partaker of divine nature, I exude the perfect expression of the power of God over all their negative activities on earth.

Why do I always speak in this manner? I have already overcome all forces of darkness in heavenly places and in this present world - by the blood of the Lamb; therefore all the wordings of my revelatory exposition written above - are the branches of my testimony. Hallelujah! Stay tuned for part 10. Shalom!

Scripture Reading  - John 1:5; 1 Peter 2:9; Ephesians 6:10-11; 2 Timothy 1:7.

Exuberant Declaration:

As a god, I am created in Christ to live as God's image and partake of His nature, and my position and inextricable oneness with Christ Jesus makes me an extraordinary god on earth with a viable superior authority. Hence, I communicate divine life to the souls of men and exercise my dominion over all the powers of darkness - at will.  Praise God!
