2Corinthians 5:17-18 (Amplified) says, "Therefore, if any person is (ingrafted) in Christ Jesus (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed. Behold, the fresh and new has come. But all things are from God, Who through Christ Jesus reconciled us to Himself (received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself) and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation (that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him)."
God had predetermined paths that His children were to live on earth, when He first created them. God had predestined every child born from the loins of Adam, to live and dominate the earth as His children. This was His plan for His family. Man was never to endure anything beyond Eden, which He designed to be a Paradise. Their Heavenly Father would meet their every need and they would be co-laborers together with Him.
The miracle ministry of Jesus, was no more than what He taught us to pray in, "The Lord's Prayer." When Jesus taught us to pray in that manner, this was not what we think in religious terms today. This was a commitment in prayer, that we were to "do here, as if it was there." Jesus simply complied with the way the Kingdom was intended by God's will and He restored everything back to its order.
Sickness, disease, disability or death, were never the predestined plan of the Father's will for His family. Jesus knew what God's will in Heaven was and He went "doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him," according to Acts 10:38 (KJV). The Amplified Bible says, "How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with strength and ability, and power, how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by (the power of) the devil, for God was with Him."
God's anointing on Jesus' life, was to restore God's will on earth again and this is the commission of the new creation people of God. Sickness and disease were never in the plan or "predestined paths," that God had in mind for His family. Jesus was "Kingdom minded" and knew that these things were completely out-of-line with God's will. Many in today's Church are so double-minded about what God's will is, that it's difficult to pray in faith or with believing in our hearts.
We've been so double-minded (even about the predestination plan of God), that we've lost credibility even in that. The devil and his carnal minded teachings that have crept in the Church, are the only things that could mess things up so horribly. Jesus sent His disciples into the world and instructed them to do like He did, in Luke 10:8-19 (Amplified) saying, "Whenever you go into a town and they receive you and accept and welcome you, eat what is set before you (this removed the Law about unclean food) And heal the sick in it, and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come close to you." He gave the same conditions in Mark 16:20 (Amplified) saying, "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the Message by attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied (it) Amen (So be it)."
This commission wasn't only for the disciples and Apostles, but for everyone who would believe. This was like Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy will be done here as it is in the Kingdom." Everything that was out of line with God's will for the Kingdom, was subject to change here on earth. Many witness the things occurring around the world today and believe it's God's will being done, because God is in control. It's difficult to understand, how we could believe that the things going on around us, are "God's will in Heaven (in His Kingdom)."
God's plan for His children has never changed, from the first inclination to make them in His Image and give them dominion here. When we hear the Kingdom teaching about the words of our mouth, do we understand what we are hearing? The Kingdom rules by God's Word and the words we speak as new creation people, either designates power our new being or releases power to the devil, like it did with Adam. We were born of God to create and bring everything that's out of order, back to order, like Jesus said, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." If you're unsure about what God's will is, then look at Jesus, because He only did the will of God. Imagine how Heaven or God's Kingdom is doing and ask yourself whether the things occurring here, are what is happening there. If Heaven and God's will is being done here and God is completely in control, then the Kingdom is going to be the same chaos we see here.
Our commission is the restore what has been lost in the first Adam, by doing what the Last Adam restored back to us. This is God's will, the predestined paths, the predetermined life for His family and the restored authority and dominion that our Last Adam returned for us, in His resurrection. You are truly in this world, but you certainly are not of this world, anymore than Jesus is not of this world. We are children of the Kingdom and children of the King of Kings.
