New Land Ahead
Oh, that our eyes were open; that our souls would dare rise into the realm of Omnipotence where the Name would mean to us all that the Father has invested in it; that we would act up to our high privileges in Christ Jesus. This is practically an unexplored tableland in Christian experience.
Here and there, some of us have experienced the authority vested in the Name of Jesus.
We have seen the lame walk, the deaf hear, the blind see; and those on the verge of death brought back instantly to health and vigour; but, so far, none of us have been able to take a permanent place in our privileges and abide where we may enjoy the fullness of this mighty power.
But we have a conviction that before the Lord Jesus returns, there will be a mighty army of believers who will learn the secret of living in the Name, of reigning in life, living the victorious, transcendent, resurrection life of the Son of God among men.
If our minds could only grasp the fact that Satan is paralyzed, stripped of his armour by the Lord Jesus. and that disease and sickness are servants of this Man; that at His voice, they must depart, it would be easy to live in this Resurrection Realm.
You remember in Matt. 8. when the centurion talked with Jesus, he said, “Speak the Word and my servant will be healed, for I myself am a man set under authority, and I say to this one, Go. and he goeth; to another, Come, and he cometh
You have been set over diseases, as I am set over these hundred men, and am called a centurion; so you are Master over disease and sickness, over demons and the laws of nature.
All you have to do is to speak and your servants obey, as I speak and my servants obey.”
In this beautiful illustration, we see that the centurion had risen to a higher plane of spiritual appreciation of Jesus than most believers enjoy today.
