WHO RULES THE COSMIC REALM

We live in a world governed by spirits and to rule and reign in this life, we must be in sync with God’s Word over our lives! The cosmic realm was initially created for man to dominate; however, man lost that right to Satan, and this is proved when the devil tried to tempt the Lord. More so, Jesus didn’t argue with him, in fact the bible calls him the god of this world, all of this is explained in the fall of man. Man was the god of this earth, however, when the devil deceived Eve, man lost his right and Spirits began to rule in the affairs of the cosmic realm. (Luke 4:1-13, Genesis 3:1-24, & 2 Corinthians 4:4).

God had a plan to return man to his original state, He would never leave his prime creation under the rule of the devil and his minions, He rather died than to have His most important creation under the rule of one who was created to serve God and man. What did he do? He came to die, not for the Jews only, but for the entire world, our God isn’t a local champion, he didn’t die for a section, he didn’t die for a nation-tribe, rather, He put his “Godhood” aside and died for man to reign in life. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

When Jesus died, there was a shift in the cosmic realm, the entire world acknowledged that power had changed hands, scriptures record that people saw their dead come to life Matthew 27:52 “and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.” Death lost it’s grip, man had himself restored, however, only at the choice of accepting Christ Jesus. As believers, we have been given the power to control the cosmic realm, being in Christ gives us this gift, therefore, we mustn’t dull ourselves, we should pursue after that which upholds to life eternal.

Confession:

I have authority over the devil and over the realms, I am a Priest and King, I rule and reign in the affairs of men, I decree Satan is under my feet, I am a star, a king, the glory of God, as He is so am I in this world.

Further Reading:

Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

Colossians 3:1-3 “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”
