JUST IN THE FORM OF A MAN.
“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.” Acts 3:22
When the Lord sent Moses to Pharaoh, He did not send him as a mere man. Exodus 7:1 says:
“And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh…”
Jesus came and was God unto the world. He came as God in the form of a man. And hear what He said to His disciples (which includes every redeemed child of God), “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John. 20:21).
If you connect the above scriptures together, you will understand that you are only in the form of a man, you are not made of human stuff; there is something strange about your makeup. The day you gave your life to Jesus, you received another life. Whereas, you had human life before, now you have eternal life, which is the God-order of life. So you now operate the God. order of life within the form of an ordinary structure, which is your body.
Therefore, understand that the same way Moses confronted Pharaoh is the same way you are to handle Satan in anyway he presents him-self. It wasn’t Moses that got Israel out of Pharaoh’s hand, it was the Greater One in him! From now on, when the Pharaoh of this world (Satan) presents him-self, look at him and pity him. Tell him, “Pharaoh, this is another Moses, the New Testament one. Now, get lost, in Jesus’ name!”
One day while driving back from Ibadan (in western Nigeria, a soldier pointed his gun at me at a check-point, threatening to shoot me. I told him, “You are too small!” And immediately, his gun dropped from his hand. The next thing he said was, “I am sorry.” Friend, another life has been infused and injected into you; it is eternal life – the very life of God. The Bible calls it “this treasure in earthen vessels” (2 Cor. 4:7).
A true understanding of God living in us will translate us from the realm of human limitations, and put us right where things will work for us, as they would for God. If you don’t have an understanding of the truth that “Ye are gods“, then you will not be able to put situations on earth under control. If you approach spiritual battles as a human being, you are bound to fail, because the flesh profiteth nothing. It is the spirit that quickeneth. By strength shall no man prevail, the Bible say.
“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19
Note that it’s not a man’s height, status or the strength of his natural muscles that will lift the standard, but the Spirit of God on the inside of him.
This is the only way man can successfully put the enemy, Satan, where he belongs. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. All of you that are the children of the Most High God are gods. “All”, not “some” or “few.”. But because you don’t know this, you are prone to die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
You must know that you are no longer a mere being by virtue of your new birth, but a peculiar being in human form. Everybody is free to be plagued by diseases, but not you. Everybody is free to be frustrated in their various endeavours except you. The nobles of the earth may have no place to put their seats, not you. “I have said, ‘Ye are gods’!”
You must put this revelation to work. Know it, understand it, and walk in its’ reality. Work it out! The knowledge of the Holy God, and the consciousness of His nature flowing in your veins is your staff of office on the earth. For diseases to obey you, for sicknesses to bow to you, and for poverty to give way to you, you must carry this consciousness about – that you are indeed a god in the form of a man. Without it, you lose control. You shall no longer lose control, in Jesus’ name!..
