Galatians 4:4-5 4 but when the appointed time arrived, God sent forth his Son. He was born from a woman, born into a culture in which legalistic perversion of the Torah was the norm, 5 so that he might redeem those in subjection to this legalism and thus enable us to be made God’s sons.
Everybody in the world was born to fulfill an assignment. God created each one of us to solve a problem. There is something that God wanted accomplished that required our existence—every one of us. None of us are an accident. None of us are here by mistake. Our place on this planet is related to an assignment that God had in His mind long before the very existence of our world. This makes us critical to His global plan.
REVERSING THE CURSE OF MAN’S DEFECTION
God’s purpose for us is the same as it has always been—to exercise dominion and authority over the earthly realm under His sovereign kingship. That has never changed. What has changed is our position. Adam and Eve’s abdication of their rightful place of authority allowed HaSatan, an unemployed cherub, to usurp the throne God intended for us to occupy.

He sent Yeshua as the Way. Faith in Yeshua HaMoshiach (Christ) as the Son of God and in His death for our sins and resurrection for our life is the doorway through which we enter the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 4:4-5
“But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of
sons”.
A KING AND HIS KINGDOM
Before any of us could enter the Kingdom of God, we had to know it had arrived and where we might find the entrance. That is why Yeshua came. Yeshua’s purpose was twofold: to proclaim the arrival of God’s Kingdom and, through His blood, provide entry to the Kingdom for all who would come.
Yeshua’ mission was to proclaim the Kingdom of heaven. This assignment from His Father reflects His mission statement, which He declared one Sabbath in the synagogue in Nazareth, His hometown:

Yeshua’ mission was to proclaim the Kingdom of heaven. This assignment from His Father reflects His mission statement, which He declared one Sabbath in the synagogue in Nazareth, His hometown:
John 14:6 Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. 7 Because you have known me, you will also know my Father; from now on, you do know him — in fact, you have seen him.”
Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor”.
More than simply revealing the Kingdom, Yeshua’s assignment was to reintroduce the Kingdom. He came to bring back to mankind a knowledge of the Kingdom of God, as well as to change their thinking so they might effectively live in that Kingdom.
Before He returned to the throne of His Father, He trained His disciples to continue this mission until its ultimate conclusion.
Unfortunately, much of the Christian Church has lost sight of the message of the Kingdom and preaches alternative religious themes.
This is a serious problem, particularly because fulfilling the assignment of preaching the Kingdom is the key to the timing of the return of Christ. Yeshua said that the end will come after the gospel of the Kingdom is preached to all nations.
THE ASSIGNMENT OF YESHUA PREACH THE KINGDOM
Everywhere He went, Yeshua preached the Kingdom. That was His assignment. Not only did Yeshua rarely speak about being born again, neither did He make these other themes the focus of His preaching: prosperity, healing, baptism in the Holy Spirit, or many of the other things we preach so much about today.
Yeshua taught about those things, and He demonstrated them in His day-by-day ministry, but He didn’t preach them. There is a big difference. Yeshua had only one message: the Kingdom of God. That was His assignment, and He passed it on to us. His assignment is our assignment.
RESTORING OUR PLACE IN GOD’S PLAN
Why is preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God so important? Why did Yeshua focus so singlemindedly on that message? It all has to do with God’s unchangeable purpose. From the beginning, God’s intent has been to extend His heavenly Kingdom onto the earth through mankind. That remains His intent, despite the fall of man.
The gospel of the Kingdom reveals how God is restoring us to our place, how He is taking us back from where we came.
***This is an important point to understand***
Many of us assume or have been taught that the gospel means that God is preparing to take us to heaven as our home. That is not true restoration, because we did not come from heaven. Restoration means to put back in the original place or condition. Since we fell not from heaven but from our dominion authority on earth, being restored means putting us back in our place of earthly dominion.
WHERE IS OUR HOME?
Most of us have been taught to hope for heaven in the sweet “by and by.” The only problem is that heaven is not where we came from. It was HaSatan who fell from heaven, not man.
We were made for the earth. God created us from the dust of the ground, breathed His life into us, and set us up as rulers over the physical realm. Ever since our fall He has been working His plan to restore us to the place from which we fell.
Genesis 1:28 God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.”
Genesis 2:7 Then Adonai, God, formed a person [a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being.
Revelations 21:1-3 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there. 2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “See! God’s Sh’khinah is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God.
After all, Yeshua did not say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is coming someday.” He said, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is near.” His disciples thought the Kingdom was only for the future, but Yeshua said, “No, Because I am with you, the Kingdom of heaven is with you. When the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you, the Kingdom will then be in you also.”
THE POWER OF AN AMBASSADOR
Ambassadors are diplomats who carry out diplomacy for the government they represent. As Christ’s ambassadors, we represent the Kingdom government of God. We are diplomats of His Kingdom in this world. Learning to see ourselves as ambassadors will change the way we think and live.
If a Bahamian citizen or an American citizen, or a citizen of any nationality, is fleeing from local law enforcement and manages to get inside the U.S. embassy grounds, that person is safe from capture, at least for the moment.
Because the embassy is United States territory, the Bahamian police cannot legally pursue the fugitive onto its grounds. The Bahamian government must employ diplomatic channels with the United States government to arrange for extradition.
That’s how powerful an embassy is. Whatever area over which the authority of a government rests becomes that government’s property. All the authority, rights, and powers of the nation represented by that government are in effect on that property.
In the same way, we are ambassadors of Christ and of the Kingdom of God. Our home, office, church, and, indeed, anywhere our influence extends becomes an “embassy” of heaven.
Leviticus 25:23 says that the land belongs to God and that we are merely strangers and sojourners here. We occupy land in a “foreign” country, but the property belongs to the government of heaven.
INFLUENCE OF AN AMBASSADOR
Whenever we are in the presence of an ambassador, we are in the presence of the government he or she represents. The words of the U.S. ambassador are the words of the United States government. Diplomatically speaking, they are one and the same. When we meet an ambassador, we are meeting more than just a person; we are meeting a nation.
As ambassadors of Christ, we represent our “home government”— the Kingdom of God. When people come into contact with us they should meet not just a person, but the God whom we belong to and who dwells inside of us through His Holy Spirit.
If our spirit is in harmony with His Spirit in us, then what we say and do will reflect the government we represent and the Kingdom where we hold our citizenship.
The Holy Spirit is the key to our authority. As long as the Holy Spirit is inside a person and allowed to have control, then God’s Kingdom can come; His ruler ship on earth can take place through that person.
If the Holy Spirit departs, Kingdom authority departs with Him. That’s what happened to Adam and Eve when they sinned. Without the Holy Spirit, they no longer possessed their dominion authority over the earth as God’s vice-regents and were powerless to prevent HaSatan from usurping the throne.
Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor”.

Shema selah what is the influence that you are walking?? The Kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness??
