You are Royalty!

I was wandering around my kitchen this morning just about to clean up from a busy breakfast and morning. I knew I needed to spend some time with the Lord, but was not exactly sure how I was going to fit it in. I felt so far from Him. I was sure I needed a good hour or two just to catch up! I did not have an hour or two, so I was about to throw in the towel and say a quite prayer while I cleaned. I glanced over on the counter and there was my daughters IPod. I picked it up planning to listen to The Forest Gump Suite (this always inspires me and I thought it could be good background music for me to enter into prayer with the Lord). I slipped the ear phones on, turned on the device and up popped The Bible in a year. What? “Why is my 8 year old having The Bible in a year on her iPod? Who put this on here for her?” I wondered. “Does she actually listen to The Bible in year?” There are some parts of The Bible that are not Ok for her to hear yet. Leviticus for example! Anyway, that is a whole other thought.


I quickly turned it on and just knew right then, God has something to tell me. I got a little excited. It started playing, a man with a very dramatic voice started his introduction and I thought Ok, whatever, let’s see what I need to hear today. I started the dishes moving around listening, waiting, and then he started reading in Genesis1:1.

, “I don’t know what I could possibly get new from this.” I thought.

I do not know how many times I could have possibly heard Genesis 1 “. He began and I listened. I choose to keep my heart and mind open and just let the Lord speak. I was still in spirit as I moved around my kitchen and very willing to let The Lord speak to my heart. Then it happened. I received the word from The Lord………….

We were created to rule over the Earth. I have dominion over this Earth. I am a ruler, A Princess (I still hold to that, but with age, now probably classified as Queen). God has given me this earth as a gift. All that is on this planet was created and given to me. I rule over it and God has given it to me/us. This struck me. This was huge. I knew this, I have heard this, but I do not truly embrace and understand the gravity of this gift. I do not walk around as a ruler, as royalty. We are royalty. We rule this planet. Together, brothers and sisters in Christ, we rule this Earth. This means all that is in it is ours. Will our needs be met? Yes! Do we rule over Satan, the enemy of our souls? Yes? We are supreme royalty. God gave us this planet and He expects us to rule under His authority.

This will change everything I do today. This will change every interaction I have today. This will alter my entire mind set. I am a queen with a huge inheritance. God reminded me of this today. He reminded me who I am through Christ. Through Christ, I am redeemed and called to rightfully reign on the thrown of grace with dominion over this Earth. The trees, birds, fish, animals, waters and all that is on this amazing sphere we call home belongs to us, We own it and are called to rule over it. Satan has no power and he is beneath me/us. So, the next time you feel down, confused and sucker punched by the enemy of your soul; remember who you were created to be in Christ. You are a child of The God Almighty and ruler over this amazing planet that He created for us to live on. We must start to believe and act like who we truly are in Christ. You are a King. You Are a Queen. You are a princess or a little prince!

I am Thankful God reminded me today who I am created to be in Christ. Please help me to walk in my royalty.
