: REVELATION KNOWLEDGE:

*[[Heb 2:8]] KJV* Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. *But now we see not yet all things put under him.*

There has been a bit of confusion among some folks concerning sickness, curses, etc. When you tell them the New Heaven and Earth is already here, they ask; "Why then are people falling sick?" When you tell them that the devil has been disarmed and that no demon has power over the new creation, they ask; "What about ancestral curses, demons possessing believers and spiritual marriage?"

The answer to all these is found in our opening scripture. Everything has been put under the feet of the New Creation. However, the problem lies in this statement, *"But now we see not yet all things put under him (man).*

You see, you can never exercise authority over anything unless you know you have jurisdiction. Similarly, if you don't know you are the commander/king, you'll end up saluting your subordinates. The lack of knowledge (of who they are) is simply what is causing folks to be buffetted by the defeated foe.

But in the next verse, the apostle quickly points us in the right direction. He tells us to see ourselves in the glorified Jesus - our true position.

*[[Heb 2:9]] KJV* But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, *crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.*

In other words, we are not to define ourselves by our experiences, but by the finished works of Christ Jesus.

That's why whenever Paul was praying for the saints, he would ask that they would be filled with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ (Eph 1:17-23). That's my prayer for you too. Shalom!!!
