BE A CHOSEN ROCK

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Until you become a rock in which Christ can build his church upon, you cannot be binding and casting. The power to bind and loose was given to the rock, and not every believer can manifest it; the rocks are those who have received the revelation of Jesus Christ's true identity. That title is reserved for those to whom God has revealed His Son (Matthew 16:17). 

Galatians 1:16 (To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood):

Every believer is ordained as a rock that Christ wants to build his church upon because that is how his kingdom will grow and expand. Christ is the chief cornerstone, and we are to be laid upon him and built. The irony of this is that many believers think that Peter was the only rock; no, all the redeemed are meant to be, but during Jesus' earthly ministry, it was only Peter that he could rely on to fight for his enthronement. He received the revelation of Jesus' true identity, and that qualified him as a stone. When you get to the point of knowing who Christ truly is to you and the world, you will become a chosen rock, and Christ will begin to build upon you until you become a holy nation. Knowing the true identity of Jesus means your foundation in Christ is now solid to build upon. That is. no matter the wind and the storm, you will remain unshakeable. The wind will definitely blow, but only the house built on the rock can stand the storm of life. 

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Jesus Christ is a wise master builder who will not build his church on sand. His will for you is to become a rock on which he can build his church, but you need to answer the question of his true identity. 

Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

 

Does that mean Satan will not try? He will try, but because the revelation power has been given to you to bind and to lose him at will, he will fail. Because you can command things to happen as you want, Christ has to trust you before that power can be released to you. He said he had prayed for Peter because Satan had vowed to pull him down, but Christ had prayed for him that he would bounce back (Luke 22:31-34). Note that if you don´t know the true identity of Jesus, Satan will not have business trying to pull you down. He goes after those who know the truth, but the same truth will set you free from him, in Jesus' name.  John 17:20 (Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;). Christ has prayed for me and you the same way he prayed for Peter. And he is watching to see if anyone will make himself ready so that he can build upon him or her as his chosen rock.

1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

It takes revelation to know who we are in Christ, and that was what qualified Peter for his elevation. Your identity will not be revealed until you know Jesus' true identity. If you truly know who Jesus is, then you have become a chosen rock, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and your job is to show forth the glory of God to the lost soul and bring them to Christ. Your job as a chosen rock is to bring others who are still trapped in darkness into the light, and if Satan tries to challenge you, then you can bind him and set his captive loose by the authority given to you as a chosen rock.

Friends, do you have a relationship with Jesus? If your answer is no, please say yes to him by praying the salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name. 

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
