The other night I had a dream. A person known to me was wearing a pair of brown ankle boots. She was struggling to walk in them and her left leg was being dragged behind her. The person gave me the boots to try on to see if I wanted them, as in the natural we sometimes exchange shoes. I tried them on but although they seemed to fit length wise the shoes were really heavy. They were really wide inside, didn't feel nice and although similar the shoes were actually a little different, not even complete with material missing, not matching and even the laces seemed odd.
I knew the shoes were no good, not for me and I could see why she had trouble walking in them. I then saw a glimpse of the brand name on the ankle area, which was a brand that use to make shoes and I don't know if they still do?
The brand name was 'Roc
The message I saw was she was trying to walk on the Rock without the K. The Roc's didn't fit, were heavy and made her walk very tough. This person is in what I would call a religious system that inhibits the full knowledge and reverence of Christ as King and Lord over all.
When I woke I said to a friend that the K for Rock was missing and that we are told stand on the Rock of the revelation who Jesus Christ is. Then my friend said K for King.
I thought yes. Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. Amen. And He is also Jesus Christ our King. The revelation of Peter is key! To understand He is Lord and King above all is key!
So, He is Lord and King, Redeemer, Love, the Christ who takes away the sins of the world and if we have seen Him, we have seen God. To know Him is to know God. That Our Father has revealed Himself in Christ and made Him Lord over all. God is Lord over all. He is preeminent!
We are to stand on the full revelation of Jesus Christ our ROCK. All He has done and wants for us 'as a partial understanding' will hinder our walk, our standing, our identity and even salvation itself.
So, we can pray and encourage each other to know Jesus better. To really acknowledge who He is. That people would know Him as the Christ, the Son of the living God, Christ our King! People who don't yet know Him, people who are stuck in religious systems that blind their sight in the truth..... And for our brothers and sisters, to encourage and build each other in Christ, and to encourage each other in to the fullness we have which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 16:13-20
When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (the revelation of who Jesus is) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
