In The Zone
My Lord & Myself
Ephesians 1:3-12
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will
To the praise of the glory of his grace wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved
In whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace
Where in he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence
Having made know unto us the mystery of his will according, to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in himself
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in on all things in Christ both which are in Heaven and which are in earth even in him
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who work all things after the counsel of his own will
That we should be to the praise of his glory who; first trusted in Christ
Isaiah in the 40th chapter talks about comfort. He also speaks about the warfare being accomplished, iniquity being pardoned and then the receiving of a double blessing.
God has filled the mouth of men and women that they would cry out for repentance and make straight the way of the Lord. The Lord has taken many into counsel and instructed them, taught them the path of his judgments and statutes, taught them knowledge and showed them the way of understanding. Have you not known? Have you not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundation of the Earth? It is he that sit upon the circle of the Earth and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretch out the Heavens as a curtain and spread them out as a tent to dwell in that bring the princes to nothing, he makes the judges of the earth as vanity. God’s judgment is nothing like the judges that judge man’s wrongdoing. God’s judgment is wrathful. God wants you to look up to him. He wants your way to be his way, for he has not hidden his ways from man. The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth faints not, neither is weary and we do not have to search for his understanding. He has given power to the faint and increase strength to those that have no might. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and young men shall utterly fall, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew there strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
God had created man after all other things created. Man was special to God, created in God’s image, meaning he was a created spiritual being. But then God seeing that he had made man in the earth decided to apply flesh to that being. He made a man a little lower than the angels but more than the animals and every other creeping thing in the earth. So why do men name themselves among the animals? They call themselves Dogs. What are the characteristics of a dog? A dog chases cars, bite people, not easily entreated at first, pees inside, needs training, rolls in smelly dead things as a favorite pastime, destroys things when unattended, do not always come on command, shake and shiver at loud noises, feels cornered in social gatherings, can not get close when they are eating or possessing, they are aggressive and sharing is foreign concept to dogs. They are dominant and have to be chained up, and they play, bite, or nip.
In a lot of cases mankind does not have as much sense as a dog. But this is not what man was created for. Adam in the cool of the evening, just before night would go and have fellowship with God and when he came before God’s presence, he came with praise. He entered into the courts of the Lord with singing and thanksgiving. He was in right relationship with God, for he was in total obedience to God. He kept all that God put to his charge, but yet God saw that he was lonely. God saw that he needed not only a spiritual relationship, but; being earthen flesh, he need something with flesh on to walk and talk with him. Some thing with flesh on it to touch, to feel, and to fulfill his desires, So God made him a mate, a woman, and laid her beside him, joined them in marriage and she became his wife, Adam’s helpmeet. They could and did praise God together. They came together in worship. Adam brought his wife back to the Lord. They did not know that they were flesh until they disobeyed God, for he told them not to partake of the tree of knowledge in the midst of the Garden.
Obedience as simple as not to eat of a tree caused man to get in trouble with his creator. When wives do not obey their husbands, it causes them to have troublesome marriages and when children will not obey parents, it causes them to have trouble in their lives. When we learn to obey someone or something, we have come to the knowledge of the truth about the matter. To know God is to love him, to love God is to obey him, and to obey God is to live the Gospel.
What else keeps us out of God’s Zone?
1. Not having a willingness to give up what took you out of the zone in the first place, not repenting of your sin.
2. Unhealthy, ungodly relationships that causes you pain over and over again
3. Causing the death to others relationships
How does one get back in the zone of God?
1. Differentiate what is really going on and repent
2. Submit to God’s Word and ask for his guidance
3. Follow God irregardless of what man says or how you feel
4. See what the spirit is saying, not your flesh
5. Pray, tarry, intercede that the Spirit has free course in your life
6. When you read or hear the word, let God bring revelation to his Word in you
7. Reveal your deep dark secrets to a trusted Pastor. The Catholics reveal the deep things of their hearts to the priest but do he bring deliverance through God’s Word to them. You must first confess to God your sin, but your deep dark secrets need some counsel from a fleshly spiritual being. Where there is counsel there is safety.
We submit all things to God, but it has to be dealt with in the flesh. It was done in the earth so it has to be dealt with or judged, man must decide. With judgment comes revelation. We realize that in some way or another a man do not pick up bad habits when they are old, somewhere in their youth they have been introduced to wrongdoing and have kept their secret up through adulthood when they too will act upon what was done to them. Imagine spending a lifetime of guilt for something you yourself was not responsible for. A lot of children were molested when they were young by a brother, a sister, an aunt, an uncle, cousin, neighbor, or a family friend, but they trusted them. These are the things that have been kept quiet and caused those young people to become rebellious, disrespectful, and unrighteous as adults. Why should they trust anyone other than their mother? If their mother does not put the fear of God in them, what other hope do they have? They have been taken out of God’s zone at a very young age. Where they are filled with hatred for mankind. But what has been done has to be undone in America for America to escape the wrath of God.
In the days of early Israel God allowed the enemy to come upon them but had someone to fight their battle just as America do today. But America is building judgment upon America for it also to be destroyed. America must come
In our churches, God is not free, his Spirit is on the sidelines, no understanding, full of envy, malice, jealousy, strife and every other evil work of the heart. The church is a House or Den of thieves. Where is the prayer, most services start with singing and no open prayer. There is intercessory prayer before service when a very few members are present, no one is in subjection or submission, no sacrifices is being made, and people are suffering and no one really knows unless someone tells it. Revelations is built up through the mind of the leader far from the Word and they have programmed God out of the equation.
All of their ways has taken them out of God’s Zone.
