TOPIC: CONNECT TO YOUR REAL ORIGIN
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10 (KJV)
Beloved, we live in a physical world that is under siege from the pit of hell. The devil’s influence over the earth is not yet fully broken, so he continues to operate actively in this world system. That’s why Scripture warns us:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith…” – 1 Peter 5:8–9 (KJV)
Make no mistake about it, the devil is active. His mission remains the same; to steal, to kill, and to destroy. But in the midst of this spiritual chaos, there is a glorious truth for the believer, we are world overcomers!
As the end of the age approaches, satanic activity will only intensify. Things will not “taper down” or get easier. Yet, at the same time, God is raising a people who will walk like gods on the earth, sons and daughters who live by revelation and walk in the consciousness of their divine origin.
The key is revelation knowledge, understanding what Christ has already accomplished. Apostle Paul repeatedly prayed that believers would receive “the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” (Ephesians 1:17)
You see, connecting to your real origin means living in the consciousness of the finished work of Christ. You are not trying to win; you already won in Him. You are not struggling to be victorious; you are functioning from victory.
That is the realm of “It is finished.” That is the realm of abundance. That is the realm of divine rest
