“Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified”. Romans 8:30 KJV
The God we serve is the Alpha and He is the Omega. He foreknew you and predestinated you to be conformed to the image His Son. Moreover, He has called you, justified you and glorified you. In Christ, you are created for glory. You will not see shame. And you will not see reproach. Glory is your portion! You will move from glory unto glory and from victory to victory. You have a goodly heritage. If necessary, they would change the law because of you.
You must begin to walk in the reality that the Lord has already perfected. Your future is secured. Stop fretting! Stop being anxious. You will not die a disappointment. Your story will not end in disaster. Don’t you ever be taken in by the seeming challenges around you. That is the devil’s strategy. He will always come with intimidation. He will tell you: “how are you going to come out? How are you going to be blessed? Don’ bother! It is not by might and it is not by power. It is by the Spirit of God. The Lord has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. It is not a natural blessing. It is a spiritual blessing! What does that mean? It is of the Spirit!
It is going to function by the spirit. God will displace them by the Spirit. By the Spirit, you will suddenly find yourself on the seat, even when they don’t like your face. By the spirit, God will overrule on your behalf. They may not like you. That is irrelevant! God will translate you into that position. You will sit on that seat. Stop seeing yourself the way people see you. See yourself from the standpoint of God. In Him, you are filled with glory. You are the son of the living God. You are the light of the world.
