Reigning in life, is a phrase ordinary to my hearing ear till this message on the same matter in Bangkok, ITERO. I have been illusioned to think that perhaps, I was reigning. But to the contrary, as the Lord's light shown through the unveiling of the Word, I could see myself where I have been so far; far from reigning, even no way near.
At the point when the seeing of reigning in life was spoken, I felt it was too high for anyone to be such; again that's just my natural concept. But as the words were ministered, more light dawned till I exalt in exultation that I, indeed I, could reign in life by receiving the abundance of grace!
Recovery Version Notes
17 For if by the offense of the one death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the 1abundance of grace and of the gift of 2righteousness will 3reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
171 Those who receive the abundant grace are able to reign in life, for life issues out of the abundance of grace.
173 The life we have received does not merely save us from a few things; rather, it enthrones us as kings to reign over all things. This is much higher than being saved in life. We have received righteousness objectively, but we still need to continually receive the abundance of grace so that we can reign in life subjectively. This reigning is defined in chs. 6--16; all the matters expounded there are the issue not of our endeavoring but of our receiving the abundance of grace.
What a salvation again! Just by receiving the abundance of grace, Christ enjoyed by us, we have the ability to reign in life; not of human struggling and striving, but of grace.
This message, though I knew it doctrinally already many years ago, I never realized it subjectively. I still had the inner consciousness of striving to reign in life on the principle of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Now its none of my struggling but the receiving of the abundance of grace that can make me reign in life. Hallelujah! Being so much helped by this vision it even became my prophecy during the time for sharing.
By grace, I can submit to authority and exercise authority. By grace, I can subdue all in-subordination and reign in life. And by grace, I can truly reign in life for the Body life. Grace, grace and grace, abundant grace, God in Christ enjoyed by man!
Lord, keep me enjoying You as grace, even abundant grace to reign in life for the Body life.
