MAKING THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIGH PRIEST AND LORD !

MAKING THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIGH PRIEST AND LORD ! "But what I am I supposed to do if I make those confessions and the symptoms of sickness doesn't leave me ?" That's a great question because in that situation, we must connect by faith with other aspects of Jesus present day ministry: His ministry as Lord. I realize it may sound as if I'm splitting hairs but, the New Testament makes a clear distinction between Jesus Lordship and His high priesthood. Speaking of His post-resurrection exhortation, it says, "God has made that same Jesus... Both Lord and Christ." (Acts 2:36). The term Christ, which in Greek means "The Anointed One and His Anointing," refers to Jesus ministry as High Priest and Administrator of THE BLESSING. The term Lord refers to His position as Victor, Champion and conquering King who put death under His feet. He is the One with the Name above all names at the sound of which, every knee bows and every tongue confesses in heaven, earth and under the earth, that He is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Jesus is High Priest of THE BLESSING and over the law of the Spirit of life. His High Priest over the gifts of the Holy Spirit, healing, and prosperity. Jesus is Lord over the law of sin and death and the curse. He is Lord over sickness, poverty and everything in this world system that attempts to steal any portion of THE BLESSING from us. And, because we have been raised up and seated together with Him in heavenly places, we have both the right and responsibility to stand on that Lordship by faith and resist the devil until he flees from us. Someone may ask, "how do I resist Satan, when the present fact is that I am sick, broke, and discussed" good question ! How did, Jesus resisted the devil, we have the record of that in (Matthew 4:4 through 11). "It is written" you simply need to tell the devil what is written ! That's what the apostle Paul was telling us to do when he wrote in (Ephesians 6): "Finally, my brethren, be strong in THE LORD, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (versus 10-13). Notice, that passes doesn't say that Jesus is going to come and wrestle the devil for us. He doesn't have to ! He has already defeated Satan's entire crew. The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ is the undisputed King of kings, and Lord of lords, but he is not going to come down out of heaven and personally in force that Lordship over every demonic spirit that gives us trouble. He delegated that responsibility to us by making us "kings and priests," and gave us the job of reminding the devil that he is a defeated foe.
