SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED }

Eph 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
Eph 1:14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Est 8:8 Now write another decree in the king’s name in behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked.”

Come to Christ, confess your sins and BELIEVE that He has forgiven them, and put total trust in Him to transform your heart. This will place the seal of His Spirit on you, signifying that you are Christ's and a follower of The Way. A signet ring is a seal used by an authoritative figure to validate the acts, that are executed in the name the ring bears. Typically, they have a coat of arms on them. This is a design that signifies which body you belong to. In our case, it is the Body of Christ and it distinguishes us as being in The Army of God, rather than the army of the devil. You are now the legal property of God, transmitted from Father to Son and everything the Son has, is now yours including the power that comes in His Spirit. The devil is well aware of this and he is afraid.

Think of it as God placing His signet ring on your forehead, baptizing you into the family name of Jesus, which means that His Father is now your Father. This is your spiritual baptism. You are born again in the name of Christ, you will inherit the Kingdom of God and be recognized as a son/daughter of God, rather than a slave of this world whom the devil is the father of.

Gal 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

In sharing in His glory, we will also partake in the same sufferings of Christ, when He walked in the flesh on this Earth. You will be persecuted, the same as He was persecuted. The world will see His Spirit in you, and despise you for it. You have just fled to the other side of the war and your old captain, and his team of hosts are not going to be happy with this. One thing we have to remember is that the humans in this world, may not realize that they are treating you poorly because it is not them, but the devil working through them. Eph 6:11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Friends, this battle is real! It is not a figure of speech or some type of symbolism. The devil wants you back on his side. Make no mistake, your seal is irrevocable. It will not be taken away from you and there are no amount of works in the world, that can give you anymore of it than what you have. however; you can lose the power that is available to you, if you fail to continue to BELIEVE in the promises that come with His Seal. This is the area the enemy loves to hit us in the most, because he knows the power that comes from your Faith. Faith is believing in His promises regardless of what the devil is showing you in this world. It is looking ahead to the Kingdom that Jesus has promised you. That is the GOOD NEWS!! He has prepared us the way that any commander would by giving us access to the full Armor of God. 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Eph 6:14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Eph 6:15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Eph 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Eph 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

As a solider in His Army, you will have angels standing around you, protecting you. The devil cannot physically hurt you. All he can do is wage war with your mind, if you allow him. Just keep on your helmet of salvation to protect you from his lies. Keep this promise in the forefront of your mind:

Jn 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
Jn 6:40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Father I pray that anyone reading this will receive your seal, by believing in your power to do all that you have promised. I pray for them, a restored, or new relationship with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
