Diplomatic Immunity

(2Corinthians 5:20 KJV) 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.


Ambassadors are regarded as honorable people in our present world. They are treated with much respect and dignity. They are specially appointed by the authority of their country to act on their behalf in diplomatic issues. They enjoy what is known as diplomatic immunity which makes them subject only to the law of their nation.

This is what you are to the kingdom of God. You are the very one that represents heaven in things pertaining to the kingdom on earth. You are the expression, extension and the reproduction of God. You have been given the authority to fully represent God in all things. God actually works through you. You have the key to the kingdom.

God has given you the right to allow or disallow on earth. You have all it takes to represent heaven here on earth. You have His name and Word to release all the authority you will ever need. You are called His body because He expresses His love through you. In fact, you are His arms and legs. Please let your world experience God through you.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: I Peter 2:1-24.




MY DAILY CONFESSION

Jesus has paid the price for my total freedom in life. I have been bought with a price. Therefore, I glorify God in my body and spirit, which are God's. For sin, I have received righteousness. For sickness, I have health. And for poverty, I have abundance.

Jesus knew no sin but He became sin that I might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Jesus Himself bore my griefs, sicknesses, weaknesses and distress, and carried my sorrows and pains; He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, the chastening for my peace and well-being fell upon Him and with His stripes I am healed.

I know the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was very rich, yet, He became very poor in order that I can be made rich through His poverty. I shall not frustrate the grace of God because I am walking in the fullness of my redemptive rights.

I stand fast in the liberty I have received as a child of God. I will not be entangled any longer in the yoke of slavery. I am totally free from every oppression of the evil one.

I boldly declare according to Galatians 3:13 that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. I am completely free from the curse of sin, sickness and poverty.
