One last little blurb about Jesus reigning through the Church and then we'll move on to what it takes for the church to reign or put differently why isn't the church reigning? I was reading Luke 10 where Jesus sends out the seventy and the verse that stood out to me was,
Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
We're the more laborers. God calls many but few enlist but that's a different sermon. The point I want you to see is that we're laborers just like those disciples. What did Jesus tell those laborers about their job:
Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you… Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
That's what we're supposed to be doing… redeeming mankind from the hand of the enemy.
