If Jesus has already won the victory and put all things under his feet, why do we still see so much of Satan's work in the world? Pastor Barry Joe Tate picks up from the last two Sundays and takes up that question from Hebrews 2, where we are told that we do not yet see all things subjected to him, but we do see Jesus. Along the way he looks at Joseph, whose promise from God tested him (Psalm 105:19), at the empires in Daniel 7 whose dominion was taken away even as it seemed to carry on, and at a simple story about a neighbor, a power outage, and the difference between knowing the facts and knowing the truth.
From there Pastor Barry Joe walks through a three-part truth for the church: we can receive only what God has given, what God has given must be taken by the church, and what the church takes cannot be kept from her. He draws on John the Baptist, the seventy sent out in Luke 10, David inquiring of the Lord before every battle, and Joshua taking the land city by city. He closes with a prayer, a hymn, and a reading from Zechariah 14, and an encouragement to take your rest, because it is coming.
