Who do you think you are?

  Imagine someone approching you, yelling at you at the top of their lungs "Excuse me! Excuse me! I don't know who you think you are! I dont know who you thnk you are! Approaching, Shocked, stunned, and a little bewildered, amongst many emotions flooding you are not sure how to respond. Who is this person and why is she talking speaking to you in this manner?  As I continued to stand stark still to examine what you are doing to merit such a response, a quiet explanation attempts to soften the awkward out cry.  Dumbfounded,  not a civil thought enters in your mind ro reply. At best just holding you peace is all you could. 
That incident plagued my thinking for the rest of my visit. Of course now I'm sure there was an issue with her mind. Nevertheless in the heat of the moment, it was a little difficult not to take it personal. Considering our communication difficulties, the question stormed in my head. What in the world would prompt that outburst? What was going on in her mind so, that she would yell out like that?
Working inside of me, the spirit ministered, "let it go, don't hold on to it". Love, love, and be loving! I found that I had to keep letting go of that thing over, and over, and over again. Anytime I remembered the event.  I had to forgive and let it go, all over again.
 I returned home, what was said had returned with me. I muttered over it in my mind. What would I have said if I could think? What should I have said? But the Lord new that I never had a quick wit in response time when it came to telling people what I thought right then and there. It probably was a good thing anyway, seeing that I toil over things said, later on. Now, at home in my loving, and peaceful environment, I thought about what I could have said, but in a very loving tone.
  The answer came, "I know you have know idea, who I think I am, and I'm ok with that. But now let me share,... I am a child of a King who came to die for me and for you, He gives me strength, knowledge, Power and authority over all the power of the enemy, I've been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into a Kingdom of marvelous Light. I've been washed, been changed, and filled with His presence, the person you once knew, is no longer. Now wouldn't you like that changed too?” God turns bad things into good. We are to be fully aware of who we are and just as ready to give a reply. No matter who dares to challenge, just be mindful!
I think also, this is what the spirit of God is asking us today. Every time I hear the Question.... Who are you?.... Who do you think you are? That cord is struck with a bassedibration. "I don't know who you think you are!!!"..... So naturally it has launched me into a campaign, with an answer to the question of a life time. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE.? I have even heard several minsters within the last month asking the same thing. "WHO ARE YOU? and Who do you think you are? "When ever I hear others saying what I'm thinking I know it is what the spirit is saying to the church. But why is the spirit asking this question? Maybe I'm not the only one sitting stunned and unprepared to answer the question! Sobriety and vigilance should not take back seat for undue reverence to anyone.
We are indeed a peculiar people, Predestinated to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. To the praise of the glory of his grace, he has made us accepted in to beloved, in whom we have redemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace.
We have inherited a ruling position of power for life, in this world and in the one to come. We have inherent authority, to carry out sacred rights as mediatory agents. We are full of power and authority, called to bind and loose, and to call those things which be not as though they were. We are kings and Priest of the most high God, our father which is in heaven and He is in Us. Watch out world, the children of light have awakened and do come! Oh, let us take the light into the darkness and show let the world see who we really are! #2Corinthians 5;20
