Jesus, Governor of All

Dec8

And the government will rest (be) on His shoulders;
Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995

‭‭There are many who govern. Some govern institutions, some townships, some cities, some countries, some their homes, and most everyone would say they govern their own lives.
Ultimately Jesus is the Govenor of all.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew‬ ‭28:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.28.18.NASB1995

Since Jesus has all authority doesn’t it make sense to surrender to His will? His way? His purpose? Under His governing power we are loved, safe, cherished, protected, blessed and so much more.

You are either with Him or against Him. The choice is yours. Won’t you surrender to God’s will? Today? The alternative is not pretty.

For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Eye Witness

Sep14

“He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
John 3:31 NASB

Jesus came from heaven. Jesus is above all! You can deny this truth but one day you will know for sure that Jesus is above all. God, the Father, has given all authority to Jesus in heaven and on earth.

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:18 NASB

Are you an expert on heaven?
Are you and expert on God?

Jesus is. He is the Only one who has ever descended from heaven to also ascend to heaven.

No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
John 3:13 NASB

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.
John 3:32 NASB

Jesus speaks testifies to the truth of God the Father and heaven because He has seen and heard first hand. He did not need faith as we do. We simply need to believe and trust that Jesus is the Christ sent by the Father for our sake.

🌹And there is salvation in no one else (JesusChrist); for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12 NASB

Please Seek Jesus.

Lord?

Jan10

“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Luke 6:46 NASB

I can’t help but wonder how my salvation measures up to this verse. Lord. Lord is one who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler. Is Jesus master of my life? Do I surrender to His authority? His control? His power? Or am I content believing I am saved, sealed for eternity and can live my life the way I want to and not do what my Lord says?

🌹“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Matthew 7:21 NASB

Power in Jesus

May10

which He (God the  Father) brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Ephesians 1:20‭-‬21 NASB

🌹Prayer:
All powerful, mighty God, my Father; all things were created, both in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Jesus and for Jesus. Jesus, You spoke to Your disciples, of which I profess to be, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Jesus, You were crucified, put to death, but God raised You up putting an end to the agony and power over death!! Hallelujah,  I rejoice that You sit at the right hand of the Father far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. You are ruler over all people. Your name, Jesus, is above all names. In Your name, Lord Jesus, I find my confidence to face the world for Your purpose and glory! Amen.
Colossians 1:16/Matthew 28:18/Acts 2:24/Philippians 2:8-9 NASB

The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?
Psalms 118:6 NASB

Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 NASB

Depredation

Apr12

Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; and they began to come up to Him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and to give Him slaps in the face.
John 19:1‭-‬3 NASB

They kept beating His head with a reed (or staff made of a reed), and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.
Mark 15:19 NASB

and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head.
Matthew 27:29‭b-‬30 NASB

Prayer:
Jesus, You said, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above;”. Those who scourged, mocked and beat you could only do so with the Father’s permission. You were scourged, mocked, beaten for me. How can I thank You Jesus for taking the punishment that I deserve?
How can I thank you Father for loving me so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to die and give eternal life to not only me but to whomever believes in Him? This beautiful imperishable gift of eternal life to whoever believes.
God, You did not send Your Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. We who believe in Jesus are not judged. Those who do not believe have been judged already, because they have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God walk with me in my salvation that I will be a light to those who are in darkness. Open my mouth to share what Jesus did for me and the joy of knowing I am walking free without judgement because I am clothed in the righteousness of Jesus my Savior, my Lord, my God.  Amen.
John 19:11 NASB/John 3:16‭-‬18 NASB

“Good Behavior”

Mar13

For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. — Romans 13:3-5

When I was a younger woman I always feared authority. Probably a good thing in my teens. Fear in itself is not a bad thing depending on what and who you fear. Fear of something can keep you from danger and regretful consequences. Who you fear can make you respectful to persons and to avoid getting involved with others.

As I matured my fear of authority changed a bit when I realized the One I should fear, God, was the authority over all authority. So, do I want to have no fear of authority? Then I must do what is good.

One of those “do what is good” things, for conscience sake was to obey God’s Word about obeying the law of the land set by and enforced by those in authority. You know the unwritten rule that says you can go over the speed limit by 5? Well, my conscience said that the law says, “Limit” which means the maximum. So, yes, I am that annoying person in front of you going the speed limit.

I’m not writing this to brag but I’ve learned a lot about obeying God by following the speed limit. Like: is it okay to disobey when everyone else is? Is it okay to disobey if I’m inconvenienced (in this case, running late for work)? It’s okay to disobey just a little if I’m anxious to get to my destination, right? I thank God for my limits that keep me safe and my conscience clear. Now that, my friend, is peace.

And I like to think that God blesses my obedience, even when I am tempted to be disobedient (in this case speeding), by blessing me with green lights, merging on the freeway clear of any traffic, no traffic delays, etc. Once again, I made it to work on time. Amazing!

That’s my God, AMAZING!!!!!

Are you trusting God by being obedient?
