The Law Of The King--Man Shall Manage The Earth!

Genesis 1

We are walking in today:  The Law Of The King--Man Shall Manage The Earth!



Genesis 1:26  Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness, so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.”

THE LAW OF THE KING: MAN SHALL MANAGE PLANET EARTH:

By God’s design and intention, we have dominion over the earth. This means that we are the managers, supervisors, rulers, governors, leaders, and stewards of this planet. This mandate is given in Genesis 2 verse 26.

Our authority in this realm is so complete that Elyon Himself will not violate it. Just as the word of an earthly king is law and cannot be reversed, so the word of the King of the universe is law and cannot change.

Man was commissioned to rule over all of God’s creation. He was given the will, the wisdom, and the authority to carry out this command.

GOD NEEDS A BODY:

God’s Spirit could not stop the fall of man, not because He was weak, powerless or impotent, but rather because He was faithful to His word.

Bound by His own law, Father already had a plan worked out. He would introduce His own Son into the human equation. By the power of incarnation Abba would circumvent His own law.
Abba needs a body to get His will done on earth. Through Yeshua He got that body and now through the indwelling of Christ in us He can continue that work.

John 5:19; 8:28

Yeshua therefore answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.” So Yeshua said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me”

During Yeshua’s earthly ministry He offered us various secret keys of the Kingdom. One of those keys is the power of prayer.

Matthew 18:18-20

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them.

A FALL SHOOK THE WORLD:

God created mankind for dominion over the earth, but the fall of man disrupted and sabotaged that program. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they fell not from heaven but from dominion.

Satan deceived Eve by promising her that if she ate from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (the tree God had placed off limits), her eyes would be opened and she would become like God.

The problem was, she already was like God. She and Adam were created in God’s image, and their power and authority in the earthly realm mirrored God’s in the heavenly realm.

The greatest weapon anyone can use against us is self doubt. Satan used this weapon against Eve. By causing her to doubt herself, he opened the door for her to begin doubting God as well.

Self-doubt involves low self-esteem, a negative self-concept, and a low sense of personal worth and value. If this is the way we see ourselves, it can lead us to doubt the character and qualities of the God who (we suppose) made us that way.

BUILDING A KINGDOM MENTALITY:

It all comes down to whether or not we have a Kingdom mentality. If you believe that you are supposed to follow all the time, then follow on; the world is full of people who will be more than happy to lead you.

If, however, you detect the seed of leadership in you, if you see evidence of the dominion mandate in your spirit and commit yourself to follow it, nothing can stop you. That mandate is inside every one of us, for God put it there.

THE RULERS BECOME THE RULED:

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they did not lose heaven, but gave up their kingdom on earth. By listening to Satan they committed high treason and surrendered their ruling authority. By abdicating their throne of dominion, they subjected all humans of succeeding generations to subjugation as slaves of the enemy.

They who should have been deployed became employed by an evil taskmaster. The rulers became the ruled, the victors the victims, and the kings the subjects.

SAVED, BUT NOT CONVERTED:

It is possible for a person to be “saved” but not “converted.” Salvation takes place instantly.

Conversion, on the other hand, can take a lifetime as we learn how to think, live, and act as children of God. It is like moving suddenly from a dilapidated shack into a mansion; we bring all our old habits and “shack” mentality with us, and they change only gradually over time.

A CHANGE OF MIND:

Paul says next that we need to “be transformed by the renewing of [our] mind.” What does he mean? His point is that even though as believers we have been born again, we still have a mental problem. We have the Holy Spirit, but not the spirit of the Holy Spirit.

We must learn to think like kings again, to lay hold of the spirit and attitude of kings. This is why Kingdom citizenship is really all about leadership. It is about kingship and ruling a domain. It is not about being low, humble, and poor in the false, demeaning way that so many of us think.

Kingdom citizenship is about recognizing our place and rights through Christ as citizens of God’s Kingdom, and claiming those rights so that we can fulfill God’s Kingdom purpose in our world. It is about taking over again that which once was lost because of our sin and disobedience. Our Kingdom faith is about claiming and living out our dominion mandate.

CHAPTER ONE PRINCIPLES:

• God’s original plan in creation was to extend His heavenly Kingdom on earth.

• God’s purpose was to establish a family of sons, not servants.

• God’s purpose was to establish a Kingdom of sons, not subjects.

• God’s purpose was to establish a commonwealth of citizens, not Christians.

• God’s purpose was to establish relationships, not religion.

• God’s original purpose and intent was to rule the seen from the unseen through the unseen living in the seen on the scene.

• Human beings were created to exercise dominion over the earth and all its creatures.

• God gave us rulership of the earth, not ownership.

• God will not do anything on earth without permission or access from those on earth to whom He gave dominion.

• God can do anything, but because He has given us the license, He can release on the earth only what we allow.

• The gospel of the Kingdom is good news: a message sent from Daddy to all His children telling them that they can return home to the Kingdom and once again be sons and daughters in their full right.

Shema Selah, our Father the King is calling for His children to return to the family business, the kingdom!!  https://www.facebook.com/fiveam.prayer/videos/1492885344122910/?l=2722625494549661647
