Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – April 24, 2025 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Ephesians 2:4-6 – But God Who is rich in mercy through His abundant love with which He has loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved – and has raised us up together, and has made us sit together in the Heavens in Christ Jesus. Born & Empowered To Rule With Jesus Through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, we are raised up into the realm of authority above all authorities and powers (Ephesians 1:20-23). We have been empowered to rule with Jesus Christ and execute the will of the Father on the Earth (Romans 5:17; Galatians 4:7; Romans 8:17). God the Father gave us the authority to be His sons, to bind and loose things on Earth, and to walk in the same glory Jesus has (John 1:12, 17:21-23; Matthew 16:19, 18:18). He has given us the authority of Heaven to cast out devils; and to tread upon snakes, scorpions, and over all the power of Satan (Luke 10:19; Romans 16:20; Matthew 10:8; Mark 3:15; Acts 8:6-7; Ephesians 1:18-23). We have been given the ability to turn the souls of men from darkness to Light, from the power of Satan to God, and to open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel (Acts 26:17-18; Luke 4:18). We have been called by God to advance His Kingdom in the Earth through the power and authority that has been imparted to us by the Holy Spirit. God has given us a position of authority in His Kingdom that whatever we ask, He will do (John 15:16; 1 John 3:21-22). He has made it our responsibility to go into all of the world and proclaim this Gospel of the Kingdom (Mark 16:15-18; Matthew 24:14, 28:19-20). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
