Revelation: 1:6: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

This is another text that solidifies our Church Dominion in the world and it has been granted to us therefore, is needed to be taken seriously and executed in the earth with preeminence in Jesus Name. This text is in the aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. However, in most cases it is used in the past tense even though it is not translatable in accuracy. It is through Jesus Christ that we have been made to be kings and priest unto God ruling in Christ Kingdom where we reign with Him in His dominion (Ephesians 2:6, Revelation 3:21) forever and ever Amen… In verse 5, it is because of whom Jesus Christ is the begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth that so loved us He gave His life for us as the perfect Lamb of God too cleanse us and wash us by His blood! Now that should inspire you to take ownership of who you are in Christ Jesus. You are a king [basileus]; a sovereign king! You are a priest [hiereus]; a priest (literally or figuratively) :--( high) priest, meaning you do not need anyone on earth to go before God for you to receive forgiveness of sins and to be cleansed and washed, you have access to be in the presence of God at any time through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Today my friend is your day to walk in your kingship and priesthood you rule and you reign with Christ on earth right now and it is time to take ownership of your position in Christ Jesus. In verse 3, it says; blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. The time is now being blessed by this message to walk in it in Jesus Name…
