The Train of His Robe: Authority, Wings, and Healing

We enthrone God in our lives because we are the temple of God and we haven't got God sitting in the back corner. We've got him enthroned in our lives and what happens? The robe, the train of his robe fills our whole lives because we're saying, God, you are all powerful. You're all mighty. You're the one I want in my life. Lord, I'm giving it all to you. I'm sick of trying to do it in my strength. It doesn't work anyhow. You are enthroned in my life, Lord. [01:38:52] (41 seconds)  #GodEnthronedLife

That's who you are in God. We're not someone that the cat dragged in and God's saying, okay, I'll clean them up. We are incredibly precious. We were in the heart of God before he even made us or created us, and when we come to God, we're coming, we're returning to who we truly are. And our own strength and in the world, that's not who we truly are. Who we truly are is in the heart of God entwined with him. And this is, I believe, the stuff that will set you free getting a grasp and a hold of this and having a revelation of that. [01:41:59] (45 seconds)  #ReturnToGodsHeart

So you're telling me that when I feel like I'm backed into a corner, the answer is right there already with me. The same word that means to be thrust into a corner, backed into a corner, that same word means God's authority, the hem of his garment. It means wings where you rise up out of that. I could not believe it. Isn't it just like God? [01:43:31] (39 seconds)  #HemIsAuthority

This is very interesting because the centurion didn't say, I am a man in authority. I tell everyone what to do, I'm the boss and they go and do it. The centurion said, I am a man under authority. There's a principle here for us. I'm a man under authority and when I speak then people do what they're told, things happen because I'm seated under authority. And, once again, what did Jesus say? He said, I haven't seen faith like this before, not even in all of Israel. [01:25:46] (48 seconds)  #UnderAuthorityLeadership

And as soon as David did that, what happened? His heart smote him because he knew he had done the wrong thing. He said, I'm not going to challenge God's anointed and he recognized Saul as that and he knew it wasn't his place to try and change that, but he did this little thing where he gave in because his men said to him, go and kill him. Take his life. Here's your opportunity, but that would have been David, not God. [01:20:24] (29 seconds)  #HonorGodsAnointed

It means to get with God and entwine yourself into God. It means to entwine yourself into God, to weave yourself into God. Donna does weaving. She makes those cloaks, those robes, and she will tell you that it takes a very long time to do weaving, and it's not easy. But what do we want with our lives? Do we want to be tacked on the end of God, or do we want to be entwined in him? Entwined. [01:31:01] (48 seconds)  #EntwinedWithGod

He realized who he really was and then he was able to come back to the father and the father was waiting for him. I saw the other day, the father ran to meet the son and one of the reasons is because if the son lost the inheritance of the father to Gentiles in Jewish law, then the people of that town could sort out the son for doing something wrong, but the father didn't want that to happen and he rushed to be the first one to get to his son because he wanted that son to come back and realize who he was and that's what God has for us.

The hem of the garment here speaks of redemptive authority in Christ and God's robe, a reflection of his protection and his redemptive authority. And then we come to the New Testament, Matthew chapter nine twenty. Here's a lady who has had an issue of blood for years and years. She looks at Jesus and she goes, if I can just touch the hem of his robe, if I can just touch the hem of his robe, I know there's healing authority there. She pressed in and she touched the robe.
