Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

Jesus the Anointed One didn’t exalt Himself. The mystery of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty’s plan for the redemption, reconciliation, and restoration of man was revealed in Christ Jesus. That is to say, Jesus’ majesty is of the will of God the Father who sent the Lord Jesus for man’s deliverance; and Jesus walked in perfect obedience to the will of Abba Father on our behalf even unto death. And it was the power of God the Father by the Holy Spirit that got Jesus out of hell when Satan and his cohorts worked in opposition to His resurrection.

The finished work of Christ Jesus for the benefit of man was the plan of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. Oh! To grasp such love: the width, length, depth, and height of Jesus’ love for us; that Jesus would agree to leave the presence of The One whom He had always been with for the benefit of those that so despised Him. And still, more than 2,000 years later, there are those who would either dismiss the Lord Jesus or attempt to lump Him together with others as just another great man . . . “not so”. The majesty of the Divine Son of God places Him far above any other; there is none like Him, no not one.

Jesus is Lord because it was the plan of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty to reconcile man unto Himself, and Jesus the Anointed One walked in perfect obedience to the plan of Abba Father. More specifically, the working of Jesus’ life, and death, and resurrection was of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. The working of Jesus’ triumph over principalities, and powers, and might, and dominion (Satan and all of his cohorts) were of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty. It was the Sovereign Lord God Almighty who seated Jesus at His (own) right Hand, far above the heavenly realms, placing all things under His feet.

As MacMillan succinctly clarified, the Church being the Body with Jesus as the Head and Believers as the Body, even the least and lowest members depicted as the soles of the Lord Jesus’ feet are far above all the mighty forces of the enemy. Hence, those reconciled unto the Family of God by the blood of Jesus are in a “mighty place of privilege”; yet a significant number of Believers have little or no comprehension about their “ministry of authority”; that those in Christ Jesus have no business groveling in fear before the enemy of GOD (pp.18-19).

GOD so loved the world that He sent Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing; that I might choose (free-will) abundant life through Him. My joy about this fact is the Hallelujah! Now (this day), Jesus is Lord and I have received the Spirit of the Living God – the Spirit of Truth who abides within to teach and remind of all things Jesus, to the praise and glory of God the Father.

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
