The word I heard this morning was, "you are sealed to take back what was stolen". When the marriage certificate is provided, it seals the marriage on earth. How do you know it is a heavenly marriage? I knew because it was a sign to me and a demonstration on earth that God had sealed me in heaven. All earthly events have a heavenly position if the person belongs to God. I was redeemed 12/21/18 to do the work of the Lord in this marriage until he set me physically free. Scripture says, "Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called" (1 Corinthians 7:22, KJV). I was married and a slave to the system when I was called. This time when I got married, God showed me that on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail (Matthew 16:18, KJV). What was stolen from me in the past was going to happen anyway because of the system I was born into in America. When I woke up in 2013 and saw the spirit behind the system, I got angry. I was fighting the wrong battles. The battles I was fighting were not even mine. They belonged to God. God calmed me down by saying be angry, but sin not (Ephesian 4:26, KJV) because Satan is crouching at the door (Genesis 4:7, NIV). He will sift you as wheat (Luke 22:31,32, KJV), and he is walking around in the form of a person looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8, NKJV). My time in the wilderness birthed love, joy, peace, self-discipline and patience in my spirit from the adversities (Galatians 5:22-23, NKJV). I gained understanding of God's grace and love for me and his people.
So, it was good that I was afflicted and fell hard in 2013. It matured me in the word of God, and it turned my passion to Christ. I chose to be obedient in the face of the unknown, but God was still merciful in the process of redemption. He picked me up and set my feet on a stable foundation, so I could have stability from the system to build what his word was saying. That's why the book of JOB inspired me so much. Although he lost everything, he never lost his faith in the God he served. In the end, he received double for his troubles. With the trials I experienced in America, I am never mad at America or the people because everyone has a spirit that they operate from on earth. It either of God or of Satan. If people are on the fence, I pray that God gives them the time and grace to choose who they will serve. Once I see the spirit, I know who they are. I would be mad at myself if I continue to get mad at the person instead of praying and allow God to fight that battle. I would be made at myself if I did not take up my own cross and walk out my own salvation. I would be mad at myself if I gained all the knowledge in the world, but lost my soul. I would be mad at myself if I believed what others say instead of reading the bible and get to know God for myself. I would be mad at myself if I learned my career more than I learned my God. I would be mad at myself if I did not believe that Jesus Christ walked this earth and preached, taught and healed to demonstrate the Kingdom of God. We are a reflection of who Jesus was and who Christ is if we make that decision. The Christ in us is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27, NKJV).
The curse in my life looked like the blessing, and the blessing looked like the curse. If I did not take hold of my salvation, neither of these would have manifested. The curse would have remained the curse my entire life, and my salvation would have been mute, but once I was baptized it sealed every event I experienced and will experience. The blood of Jesus will never lose its power.
