I am NOT in control

Let me make this crystal clear: I am NOT in control among mankind. The devil is the prince of this world. Got any doubts? Take the time to look it up in my Word.

Remember: you must take the majority of my words in context on any given matter. And when the plain sense makes sense, seek no other sense, or you will wind up with nonsense.

In the beginning, in the garden of Eden I gave dominion over the earth to man, created in my image. The devil tricked Adam and Eve into giving up that dominion, and Satan has it for just a little longer as mankind remains in a state of rebellion against me. To say blandly "God is in control" is to practice a no-fault Christianity, where you have no responsibility for what happens. Look around you. You're not gonna lay the blame for that mess on me, my children.

When I finished making it everything was perfect, or as I called it "very good." Is sickness very good? Is poverty? Is infirmity? Is crime? Is perversion? C'mon, kids-- let's get real here. If it ain't good, it ain't God.

The degree of my influence down there depends upon you. I have given my born-again sons and daughters a measure of my authority in the spirit realm. They can take authority over demons, sickness, disease and infirmities in my Name. Indeed, those who truly understand who and what they are in Christ can as my Holy Spirit directs do everything I did when I walked the earth and more.

You must invite me into your affairs and your life. I set the world up to run that way, and it will stay that way until I return with the title deed in hand.

At that time I will settle all accounts and clean up your mess for good. As the perfect, righteous Judge I will then mete out rewards to those who are mine, and punishment to those who deny me. They will be banished forever.
