When messengers were sent out in ancient times on behalf of the king, those messengers were validated and authenticated by the seal they were carrying. The seal gave the messenger the authority to carry out the task at hand. And alerted the receivers that the messenger was truly chosen and a sent one from the king. The king would have his seal chiseled out on his ring, or a stamp made of soft rock. What we know today as rubber stamps. The king would dip his ring or his royal stamp in ink or melted wax in order to sign or seal a document. Messengers sent by the king were recognized by the seal that they carried. If a messenger tried to speak on behalf of the king without it, they could surely die.
Such as it is in the spirit.
Ephesians 1:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
Salvation has sealed us today. And because we bare the seal, we have access to our inheritance now. Because we bare the seal, we can speak on behalf of the one who has sent us. Because we bare the seal, we can walk in the authority of Christ in authenticity and confidence in God. When we go, we must bare the mark, the branding, the seal of salvation, because that’s what gets us through to heavenly places. That's what gives us the supernatural power to cause heaven to come down to earth. The seal attracts God. So make sure you are sealed. Because being sealed allows us to be led by Holy Spirit like the bible says those of us that are led by Holy Spirit are the Sons of God. This is why we must study and spend time with God so that we can recognize the sealed. Because there are a lot of counterfeits today which don’t bare the seal. The authenticity, authority and power is void. Salvation is believing that Christ is, that He died for all of humanity and rose on the 3rd day with all power. It was finished on the cross. And because of Christ, we have been adopted into the royal family of God. We are kings and priest. We then belong to Christ and are sealed.
