What would happen to people if we understood that although there are instances in which many of us were deemed by our parents or by society as mistakes, accidents, and undesirables --- God disagrees? What if we understood that what He said to Jeremiah is intended to give insight to all of us? "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 This is what God said specifically to Jeremiah, but the understanding is that it applies to every human: that He foreknew each of us, that He meticulously scripted a plan for each of us, and that He decreed its glorious end before it ever began. God made YOU and ME, and He has never made a mistake!
Another liberating realization for the entire Body of Christ, particularly for Kingdom Professionals, is the truth that the Reformers taught: the "priesthood of all believers." The fallacious divide between "clergy" and "laity" has rendered the majority of the church's population officially impotent by feeding non-preachers the idea that their "secular" work is not significant to God. In doing so, in the minds of many, God is relegated to operate in one room, the "sanctuary" of our worship centers. However, Jesus said, "In My Father's House are many rooms", John 14:2, RSV And yes, the "rooms" refer to the eternal dwellings of those who are redeemed (commonly referred to as Heaven), but the rooms also refer to "dimensions" in the Kingdom of God. In this episode, Michael Blue discusses how those rooms manifest in this age as cultural influencers, various realms, or spheres of influence. And God desires to place each of us in an optimal place to have optimal impact for His glory and people's good!
