2023 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
At different times in scripture, the devil was described as “the prince of this world” and “the god of this world.” Although these two words seem alike, they have different meanings. The term “world,” used in both phrases, was translated from two separate Greek words: “cosmos” and “aion.” Cosmos refers to everything in the world and its physical arrangement—all the beauty of the world and everything in it. Aion, on the other hand, means “a dispensation, an age in which certain things happen,” for example, the Stone Age or Ice Age.
The devil became the ruler of this world when Adam committed treason and handed over the cosmos to him. But when Jesus—the second and last Adam—came, He dispossessed Satan of this authority by virtue of His death, burial, and resurrection and gave us the victory! That was why He told His disciples: “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself” (John 12:31- 32) So Satan doesn’t have any right over this physical world anymore; he’s only the god of this “age,” that is, the systems of the world, including its governments, economics, education, etc. That explains why these things are in a mess. But we’re not of this age; we belong in God’s kingdom, and we operate by a different set of rules. We don’t depend on the systems of this world because they’re programmed to fail! We’re extraordinary people, and we depend only on God.

PRAY
Dear Father, I thank you for showing me today that I’m not of this
world. Its systems don’t apply to me because I operate by the
higher principles of your Kingdom. I refuse to be bound by the
limitations that exist in the world today, for greater is He that is in
me than he that is in the world. Amen
