The Glory of the gods CHAPTER FOUR Lucifer, as a celestial being, misused these powers and sinned against God. There was a time when Jesus feared for James and John. Who knows what they would have done had they not been discipled into the mind of Christ. Their heart was to call down fire from heaven and destroy the Samaritans, simply because they did not receive them. But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them (Luke 9:55-56). This is the law of the gods, our power is not to be used to destroy lives, but to save that which is lost. The power of the sons is awesome enough without entering into revenge and vainglory. We have been given the ability to do things mortal men cannot do. As the Spirit of God rested upon the prophets of old, (under the administration of the Law), Elijah could recover an iron axe, by making it float on the water. But Jesus taught the power of the sons on this wise. Matthew 21:18-22 18  Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19  And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20  And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. It is time for the sons of God to take their heads out of the sand. We must embrace the scriptures at face value. God says what He means and He means what He says. Jesus cursed the fig tree and it withered away. But then He turned to His disciples and said, “You can do the same as you have seen me do.” Again, as He is, so are we. But He doesn’t stop there, He tries to convince them that they have the power to speak to the entire mountain, tell it to move and cast itself into the sea; and the mountain would obey them. What mortal man can do such things? This is the work of gods.
