"But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the Children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His Name." John 1:12 (Amp)
Now, I actually started this Motivation yesterday, but it wasn't until after listening to Yolanda Adams and A.V. this morning that I received confirmation and clear direction on which way I should go with this message to the Body of Believers.
As I was walking to work this morning (which was yesterday), I overheard a young lady say 4 words that stirred my Spirit as she was speaking to a young man as they were about to enter the courts....she adamantly and boldly (actually loudly) said: "I know my rights"! When I heard those words......Holy Spirit quickly reminded me of the text Scripture.....and then I heard this question....how many really know their rights as a Child of God?
When I looked up the word rights, I found one of many meanings that says, rights...."that which is due to anyone by just claim, legal guarantees, moral principles, etc.." As Children of God we "just claims" "rights" that allows us, to be a part of a Royal Priesthood. We are not just anybody....but we are a Peculiar People who have a Loving and Caring Father and big Brother....Jesus...who died and arose from the dead...and in doing so....we......through Holy Spirit.....have "rights" or more appropriately......AUTHORITY/POWER......to overcome and WIN in every area of our lives! GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me share a few Scriptures with you just in case I'm not getting my point across clearly:
Roman 8:17: "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together."
Exodus 19:5 "Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine."
Deuteronomy 14:2 "For thou art an Holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth."
1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy nation, a Peculiar People; that ye should shew forth the Praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light."
Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Yesterday when the title came to me.....it was like Holy Spirit wanted me to tell the Body of Believers....YOU CAN BE SILENT IF YOU WANT....BUT IF YOU KNOW BETTER...YOU BETTER START OPENING UP YOUR MOUTH.....SPEAK THOSE THINGS YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE.....START DECLARING AND DECREEING SOME THINGS OUT LOUD....LET THE ENEMY KNOW....YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS....YOU KNOW WHAT GOD WORD SAYS....YOU KNOW THE POWER AND AUTHORITY YOU HAVE AS A CHILD OF GOD....YOU KNOW...THAT YOU KNOW.... THAT BECAUSE GOD WORD SAYS IT......YOU CAN HAVE WHAT HIS WORD SAYS YOU CAN HAVE....YOU CAN BE WHO HIS WORD SAYS YOU CAN BE.....YOU CAN DO WHAT HIS WORD SAYS YOU CAN DO.....EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE IT....YOU SPEAK IN FAITH KNOWING YOU WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT.....SPEAK IN FAITH THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE!
CHILD OF GOD......I'll tell you like the poo-poo says when they read criminals their rights.....YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.....or NOT....EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS TODAY!
