Rhapsody of Realities 25 April 2025: We Rule From Heaven
Scripture: Isaiah 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
As Christians, though we’re in the world, we’re not of this world. Our kingdom is heavenly, and we reign and rule from there. No wonder He tells us to set our affection on things above, on heavenly realities (Colossians 3:2). Think from heaven. Live from heaven. Rule from heaven. Your authority is derived from God’s Kingdom, which is superior to all earthly powers.
This can be likened to the operation of a country’s military base stationed in a foreign land. Even though that military base is physically located outside its home country, it functions as an extension of its government, wielding the full authority and power of its homeland. Every action, directive, and purpose of the base reflects the instructions and vision of its home government.
Likewise, we’re ambassadors of Christ, functioning with the power and jurisdiction of our heavenly kingdom. Our presence in this world is a declaration of heaven’s rule, as we manifest God’s righteousness and judgment everywhere we are. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
Walk in the consciousness of your heavenly identity, functioning as an extension of God’s Kingdom on earth. Establish His righteousness and judgment in your sphere of influence. Philippians 3:20 (AMPC) says, “But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven. ” As citizens of heaven, we extend God’s
influence and dominion to the nations.

The beauty of this divine arrangement is that our identity and operations remain rooted in God’s Kingdom. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). Blessed be God.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a king and a priest unto you, reigning with divine authority. I walk in the consciousness of my heavenly identity, functioning as an extension of your kingdom on earth. Through me, your righteousness and judgment are established in every sphere of influence, and my life is a manifestation of your power and dominion, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

4 But God—so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).
6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

6 And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
