YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR WITH AUTHORITY. (Part 1)
You are living in two different dimensions at the same time.
We have to live in this realm but at the same time we’re conscience of another dimension that we’re in. Our challenge is to walk in the dimension of the Spirit while we’re living in the realm of the natural to such a degree that we overlap the natural with the supernatural (spirit) and bring other people under our influence. That’s the Kingdom.
Everywhere Jesus went He was walking like the Ambassador of the Kingdom. Every Ambassador has an embassy. The embassy is the territory that surrounds the Ambassador.
As an Ambassador of the Kingdom that means wherever the Ambassador is assigned, it becomes an embassy for the Kingdom of Heaven. In other terms it is officially off limits to the devil because it’s Heaven’s property.
Now, put yourself in Jesus' shoes. You too are an Ambassador. In this 21st century everyday life. But there's more ...
You cannot just walk into an embassy. The Russian embassy or the Chinese embassy are off limits to everyone except people of those countries. These rules apply even if the embassy is in your country. It's weird but in the United States these countries own that property, that block, that building, It’s the way nations work. It is sovereign territory.
So when you are walking in the Spirit in your assignment you are carrying the Ambassadorial atmosphere and your measure of rule determines how large your embassy is. That’s where the glory is.
The glory is when you’re overlapping territory: where you have the authority to manifest the Kingdom. In that territory you trump everything that’s manifesting contradictory to the Kingdom of God.
YOUR FACE IS IN THE FUTURE

YOUR FACE IS IN THE FUTURE
Given what we learned - consider the following.
When someone pushed through the crowd and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, Jesus had established a perimeter of expectation around Himself. People knew if they got within proximity they could touch Him. When the woman seeking healing touched His garment, she hit an embassy zone and bam, the embassy liberated her from whatever the devil had on her.
You and I have that ability. The problem is we have not yet caught up to where our face is in the future.
Now this is an interesting terminology, “caught up to where our face is in the future”. I believe it was Bill Gates who first used it and it caught my attention. He said that Microsoft was a technology that he saw before anyone else, like a vision. It was a future seeking to be made manifest in the present. In quantum language it was something in the spirit God was trying to get over to planet earth. It was something God wanted to release here on earth.
I want you to know God is the God of all history, not just the history of revivals. The Gutenberg Press wasn’t just an innovation that happened independent of the Reformation. The Gutenberg Press was necessary for the Reformation. Now if you were around during the 1960s and 70s when the Charismatic Movement took off, at that time believers were loaded up with cassette tapes! Wow how things have changed.
The audio technology and computer technology have come alongside of a global explosion of communication for the gospel’s sake, just like the Gutenberg Press.
You’re living in two places at one time. You’re living in the tension of the future and the "reality" of the present. When you are also in a period of transition God is causing you to catch up to where your face is in the future.
When you are in alignment with your assignment - walking in the measure of your calling that is on your life - the supernatural has already been scripted to manifest itself: you’re walking in something already prepared for you.
Eph.2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them [KJV].
In summary:
You are an Ambassador of Heaven, with an earthly embassy with Heaven's authority backing you in the territory to which you have been given assignment.
While you feel the tension of today, keep your eyes on the future. By being obedient to God in the small things in this moment you are helping manifest what is needed for the next big move of God.
Be courageous and confident:
you are part of God's magnificent plan.
AS ONE
