I AM OF ZION

Psalm 132:13-14 (AMP)
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion, He has desired it for His habitation:
14 This is My resting-place forever [says the Lord]; here will I dwell, for I have desired it.

Zion, the seat of the Lord! Zion, the elect of God! Zion! Zion, out of which, the Perfection of Beauty, God Shines Forth!
We are of Zion, not of this world, citizens of God’s kingdom. Though we live in this world, we are not subject to the authority of it but to the higher authority of the Master of the universe, God the Father, who has the final say, the last word and authority over our lives and destinies, Proverbs 16:1. For His is the Amen-Revelation 3:14.
Every believer is a Zionist chosen by the Father. We are of Zion, as temples of God according to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 you were bought at the cost of the blood of Jesus. Indeed, God the Father created our bodies, God the Son redeemed us, and God the Holy Spirit indwells us. This makes our body the very Zion of God.
When we submit to the Lord in trust, He makes all our plans succeed by guiding us. The Father promises that those who remain faithful citizens of Zion will forever be called holy and have their names written in the book of life. Isaiah 4:3.
A citizen of any nation is entitled to certain benefits and opportunities that are not accorded to just anybody, as a Zionite, there are numerous benefits and opportunities open to us that are without limitation or condition. One such is recorded in Isaiah 33.
It starts by promising to destroy whatever deals treacherously against you and finish by adding that as an inhabitant of Zion, we shall not say we are sick. That even the most infirm and disabled of the people of Zion will have their share of every benefit; the lame shall seize the prey; even the sick and the diseased shall throw aside their infirmities and recover strength enough to hasten to the general plunder.
Christ, the Messiah, is the stone of stumbling to man in Zion: many in Zion are still stumbling for they still do not recognise the Messiah. Therefore, they will be offended at him and reject him, and think it would be reproachful to trust in such a person for salvation.
As Zionite, all the oppressed and lonely people can take comfort from their role as “(children)Daughters of Zion,” a term evocative of God’s relational tenderness towards His own.
Christ as the Cornerstone of the spiritual Zion gives hope to us all, including the poor, the weak, and the hungry today. God cares deeply, as a Father cares for His children.
Isaiah 40:9 calls us the Zionite that brings good tidings because the duty of announcing and celebrating the glad tidings of the gospel, belongs to every believer.
Every citizen of Zion has come to Mount Zion according to Hebrew 12:22-24, meaning that we have access in the spiritual realm as we participate in worship with innumerable angels and with the great assembly of believers who have died in faith and are already in God’s presence.
Every citizen of Zion goes from strength to strength—They proceed from one degree of grace to another, gaining divine virtue through all the steps of their probation. You are of Zion!
Shalom
