I continually hear people say, “Have faith, God is in control”, but is God really in control?
My answer may surprise many… ‘no God is not in control’ – He works all things together for the good to those that love Him and are called according to His purpose, He commissions His angels to fight for us, He intercedes for us, He leads us on a path beside still waters. He provides rivers in the dessert and a way in the wilderness and He always causes us to triumph through Christ Jesus, but He is not in control… He has put us as believers in control as kings and priests in Christ.
If God was in control He would not have had to send Jesus to become a man. Mankind has dominion authority on earth – even the devil has to do what he does through people… he deceives them and influences them to do his work.
As a human being, you have dominion authority on earth… as a born again believer, you are a king and a priest in Christ and you have been given authority over all the works of the devil – you have been equipped with supernatural power, supernatural ability and you have been given supernatural provision.
People blame God for the starving children around the world and for everything bad that happens… the reason is because uninformed believers keep saying that God is in control of everything. If He is in control, then He must take the blame! The real reason that there are starving children and other horrific things is because people allow it, not God.
As a believer you have total dominion, all authority, supernatural ability, supernatural provision, you have angel armies helping you, you have the Holy Spirit interceding for you, you have the favor of God, you have God working all things together for good for you and you have guaranteed victory and triumph in Christ.
Rise up and do your part, in Jesus Name! Take the control given to you… stand up and be the change, in Jesus Name!
Blessings on you, Nick
