When I woke up early this morning I was frustrated. As the morning continued I became angry in my soul. I realized what a mess this world had become. This wasn't a news flash. Everywhere we look there is chaos. Everything is out of order and people are suffering, even the ones who don't think they are. I see beautiful people who's lives are hurting or being destroyed by sickness, disease and unforgiveness. Everyday thousands of people die needlessly, all because of one man's sin.
There are people who hate, kill and abuse others, because of greed, pride and lust. Fear and doubt reek havoc on the minds of most people as the try to find answers to solve their problems. (I too have to deal with my own and those around me.) There are people starving, lonely, homeless and neglected. Children and babies whose lives have been cut short or born with deformity. Corruption abounds in government, business, and society as a whole. There are wars and disasters destroying homes, lives and families. People are being deceived and in the end most tend to look out for number one—themselves. Many feel trapped and others have sought religion as an answer to try and make sense of it all; only to become trapped in traditions, laws, and delusions of a false peace and hope. The feeling of being loved, wanted or needed is often just like a vapor. And people keep asking, where is God in all of this? All because of one man's sin, we became like him. That man was Adam. The Bible says, "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all have sinned." (Romans 5:12)
Is it possible for all this to change? Is there hope? The answer is, yes. The answer is Jesus Christ. He's always been the answer. And He came to set us free, totally free. Thank God. The Bible says;
"But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass [His grace is out of all proportion to the fall of man]. For if many died through one man's falling away (his lapse, his offense), much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift [that comes] through the undeserved favor of the one Man Jesus Christ abound and overflow to and for [the benefit of] many.
16Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man's] sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings justification (an act of righteousness).
17For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (Romans 5:15-17TAB)
Therefore, because God's great gift and the sacrifice of Jesus—one man made a difference. Today, one man can still make a difference, a multi member man. The sons of God, both men and women, who are one with Him and serve the Kingdom of God. All authority has been given to them. They have been given a rod. It's time to rule and reign and establish. Satan is under our feet and we have been given dominion over the earth. Angels will obey us as well as satan and his demons. "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18) Wow! This powerful statement made by Jesus to His disciples and it hasn't changed. We will see it reenforced in this next visitation. The Heavenly Father will have His sons rule and establish Kingdom of God on earth. And they won't be afraid to exercise justice and mercy. We need to be declaring His promises, speaking words of faith and seek His presence. Start taking back by faith what the enemy has stolen.
We can change the sins of one man and its effect on the world, just as Jesus did, one day at a time. We have been chosen to be kings and priests, to proclaim the good news, to bring healing, deliverance and restoration to a lost and broken world. We can make a difference—starting today. And it all possible, because of one man's love, Jesus Christ, the Heavenly Father.
