Manifold Wisdom of God The Church has a mandate! The Church, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and with the authority given to us by Jesus, has been charged with the responsibility of displaying the power of God and the mysteries of the Gospel. It is through the Church that the principalities and powers see the wisdom of God manifested in the earthly realm. It is the responsibility of the Church to bring into being the promises we have been given, thus testify to seeing His glory, as these promises are implemented. What are principalities and powers in heavenly places? This question is extremely important, especially in the Ministry of Deliverance. It is critical that individuals who are involved in such ministry know and understand their rights in the spirit realm, and not because someone told them what their rights and authority are, but because it is clearly written for those who have eyes to see. Principalities, powers, and dominions are ruling authorities in both the visible and the invisible realm. The term “principality” is a term referring to a particular territory or jurisdiction of a prince or ruling entity, such as seen in the Book of Daniel when it is written concerning the Prince of Persia and the Prince of Greece. Satan is the prince of the power of the air and is the spirit who works in the sons of disobedience. Thus, he exercises global authority. There is a celestial hierarchy of angels. The Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary ranks them from lowest to highest of the nine orders: angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim. We do not see such a ranking clearly within scripture, but there is a hierarchical structure in place. How does the Church make known the manifest wisdom of God to powers and principalities? There are godly and ungodly ruling authorities. The Church makes known the manifest wisdom of God to powers and principalities by fully accepting and implementing the authority that has been given it by Christ Jesus. We are to display His wisdom and power on earth that He might be glorified in and through us, His children. Jesus gave us, the Church, keys of the Kingdom that are to be used. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16:19).

Are you displaying the manifold wisdom of God?

Marriage of the Lamb There is no clearer picture of Covenant than the one represented in the Book of Hosea. Hosea, or Hoshea in Hebrew, denotes salvation or deliverance. The Book of Hosea is the first Book of the Minor Prophets as they are called due to the brevity or pithiness of the books. The prophet who wrote Hosea, and for whom the book is named, was in public ministry to the northern kingdom of Israel from 748 BC to 690 BC, around the death of Hezekiah. During this time, Israel was experiencing great prosperity and growth, but the moral climate had declined into spiritual adultery and corruption. God had a message and He wanted Hosea to bring it forth. It was a threefold, consistent message which still rings true today; God abhors sin, judgment is inevitable, and God’s love and mercy are ever present. Hosea, through his marriage to an unfaithful wife, is a story and a message of relentless love. God’s unfailing love for His unfaithful people and the covenant He made, that He would be their God, was 5

patterned throughout the Old Testament scriptures. God sought reconciliation, not destruction. His plan was to bring Israel back into right relationship, and repentance was the key to doing so. Israel was steeped in the idolatry and wickedness, which brought God’s people into captivity and, if repentant, then restoration would surely follow. God chose Hosea’s physical life and family to represent a spiritual picture of the state of His people. Hosea took the wife of “whoredom” and married Gomer, a prostitute, by a divine order of God. Israel is depicted prophetically as Jehovah’s adulterous wife, put away for a time and brought back into restoration, even after her unfaithfulness. Gomer bore three children and God Himself gave the names that were to be used. Found within the meaning of each of their names was a prophetic representation of the Word of the Lord to His people. Symbolically, each of the names conveyed a part of the prophetic message. Jezreel meaning “God scatters or God sows,” was the name of the firstborn son. In judgment, it

pointed to the sin of Jehu for the abominations committed by his house. It also prophetically pointed forward to Israel’s future restoration. In II Kings 10:2831 there was a massacre at Jezreel. Jehu wiped out Baal, however, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, which was the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan. God reminded the people of Israel of the dangers of idolatry, which is spiritual prostitution. Even in the face of infidelity, God reminded His covenant people of His promise, as He continued in faithfulness to the covenant of love which He held for His children. Prophetically, it was a promise of the incoming of the Gentiles.

Emotional Freedom: Rediscovering Peace and Joy Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Does everyone have to hear your latest story? Are you up today and down tomorrow? Do you constantly pass by the mirror and complain about those thighs? Somewhere in our day-to-day existence, we often lose site of our peace and joy. We lose site of our purpose and destiny and allow our emotions to take charge of our every thought. Emotions can be the root of much discontentment, and if allowed to go unchecked, they can cause our inner man to become weak and ineffective.
