IT IS THE TIME OF THE CHURCH.

“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Psalms 110:1 KJV

Do you know how God sees us when He looks down from heaven? He sees us as the church. He sees only three sets of people: the Jews with their Judaism, the Gentiles with all their sins and the church. Of the three, the highest in the order of ranking is the church because we are like Him. Who is the church? The people God has decided to look upon in grace, not by works. We are the ones whose sins have been wiped out. The church is the beloved of God! We are those who call Him ‘Abba!’ You are powerful and loaded. You cannot be denied and the gates of hell cannot prevail against you because you are the church.

Christ died for you and as though you were the one dying. He went to hell, descended and rose as you and for you. Now, He is sitting as you and for you. When you sit down, miracles will be a natural thing. The Lord said He will send the rod of your strength out of Zion so that you may rule in the midst of your enemies. But it has to happen first by sitting. Since I understood this revelation, I’ve been sitting without sweat and struggles. I cannot be defeated because I am wired to succeed.

The church of Jesus Christ is entering into an era of unusual manifestation of the things of the Spirit.  For some of you, it will flow like water in your life. You will wonder what’s going on. Why? This is the time of the church. God does not want you to be confused. The Bible declares in Colossians 1:18: “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence” (KJV).

Christ is the Head of the Body and the church is the Body of Christ. The Head and the Body cannot be separated.
