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.
