I AM a king
[Hear these words from the perspective of the Father.
See us as the king.
And see Him awakened by us, His love.
See us fighting. See us fighting for victory.
See Him running to see us standing in victory.
See us --seeing ourselves as kings, doing anything for our kingdom.
Our Father's kingdom is our kingdom.
Taking Him higher.
Opening the sky to reveal Him.
We are kings.]

BETHANY DILLON "DREAMER"
love woke Me up this morning...
imagine a beautiful castle
and a beautiful king
he left the comfort of his throne
to fight for victory
love woke Me up this morning
and I ran to see
the king in the winner's circle
on the horse he won for Me
only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom
only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom
only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom
take. Me. higher.
open the sky up
start a fire
_________________________________________
We have got to start seeing ourselves as kings.
"Only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom."
Somehow that took me here...
MATTHEW 16:13-20
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
I like verses 18 & 19 in the Message version,
"And now I'm going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock..."
"You will have complete and free access to God's kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is a yes in heaven. A no on earth is a no in heaven."
We are rocks. Peters.
On His rocks, He will build His church.
We are kings.
We are given the keys.
The keys to the kingdom.
Keys denote power and authority.
Keys have power to open.
Keys have power to shut.
Keys can cause the heavens to withhold rain;
Keys can obstruct the entrance into the kingdom.
With keys;
We can open the heavens.
With keys;
We can unlock the kingdom --for ourselves and others.
With keys;
We can reveal the Father.
With keys;
We. Are. Powerful.
With keys;
We are kings in the kingdom.
We have got to start seeing ourselves as kings.
"Only a king
would do anything
for his kingdom."

I AM an Investment
MATTHEW 25:14-30
God's Kingdom: "It's also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called his servants together and delegated responsibilities. To one he gave five thousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, depending on their abilities. Then he left. Right off, the first servant went to work and doubled his master's investment. The second did the same. But the man with the single thousand dug a hole and carefully buried his master's money.
"After a long absence, the master of those three servants came back and settled up with them. The one given five thousand dollars showed him how he had doubled his investment. His master commended him: 'Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.'
"The servant with the two thousand showed how he also had doubled his master's investment. His master commended him: 'Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.'
"The servant given one thousand said, 'Master, I know you have high standards and hate careless ways, that you demand the best and make no allowances for error. I was afraid I might disappoint you, so I found a good hiding place and secured your money. Here it is, safe and sound down to the last cent.'
"The master was furious. 'That's a terrible way to live! It's criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least? The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have goten a little interest.
" 'Take the thousand and give it to the one who risked the most. And get rid of this "play-it-safe" who won't go out on a limb. Throw him out into utter darkness.' "
This isn't about my money.
It's about what He has put in me.
Given to me.
I'm often given the one thousand.
And I cautiously hide it away; afraid to misuse it and lose it.
" 'That's a terrible way to live!' "
He only gave me one thousand, because I don't know how to handle two or five yet.
But that fact is: He gave me one thousand.
He gave me one thousand, because He trusts me.
He gave, "depending on their abilities."
I have it in me.
It's there.
Don't let me take my one thousand and hide.
When I hide it, I'm not just hiding it from Him --I'm hiding it from you.
This is an investment.
I am an investment.
You should at least be partaking in my interest.
You should be "after the best."
Don't let me take my one thousand and hide.
Don't take your one thousand and hide.
Don't take your two thousand and hide.
Don't take your five thousand and hide.
That is meant to be doubled and experienced among us all.
That is not just for you.
That is not just for me.
May it be said among each other and by the Father:
"You did your job well. From now on be My partner."
