We Must Change Our Mindset To Kingdom Thinking!!!

Matthew 7

We are walking today:  We Must Change Our Mindset To Kingdom Thinking!!!

Witness change throughout the Bible:  H2498 chalaph--to go on from, to change, substitute, alter, change for better

2 Samuel 12:20 - Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed H2498 his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

The Torah  ...............
 Genesis 41:14 - Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed H2498 his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

 
The prophets  ..................  
  Isaiah 24:5 - The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed H2498 the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

The writings  ...........................
 Psalms 102:26 - They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change H2498 them, and they shall be changed:

Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Matthew 7:28-29 28 And it came to pass, when Yeshua had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

As the creator of all things by the breath of His word and as the Word of Elohim. Yeshua stepped into time. The scriptures foretold of the head that was struck and heal that was bruise, after the curse that was spoken over Eve in the Garden. During the fall of man from dominion on the earth in the book of Genesis.

John 1:1-3  Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things came to be through him, and without him nothing made had being.

Genesis 3:14-15 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 14 Adonai, God, said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all livestock and wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and eat dust as long as you live.  15 I will put animosity between you and the woman, and between your descendant and her descendant; he will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

THE KING IS CENTRAL TO HIS KINGDOM

If we were created for kingship, and if Yeshua came to earth to restore the kingship we lost, and if we want to be prepared to resume our rightful place as kings, then we had better learn what it means to be a king and how a king relates to his kingdom.

The first thing we need to understand is that a king is the central component of his kingdom. A king embodies the essence of his kingdom; the kingdom is the king. Without the king, there is no kingdom. The land and the people may still be there, but unless they are ruled by a king, they are not in a kingdom.

Second, a king is the ultimate and only source of authority in his kingdom. In the Kingdom of Heaven, the authority of God the King is exclusive and absolute. His word is law and His will is carried out even to the farthest reaches of His realm. And God’s realm is infinite.

Yeshua demonstrated this kingly authority when He said numerous times, “You have heard…but I tell you” (see Matt. 5:21-22,2728,33-34,38-39,43-44, emphasis added).

Yeshua spoke and taught on His own authority. He did not rely on the thoughts, ideas, interpretations, or traditions of others. Why? Because He was a King whose authority was independent and sovereign.

The biblical account of this occasion records: When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law (Matthew 7:28-29, emphasis added).

FOURTEEN CHARACTERISTICS OF A KING

A king is distinct both from a democratically elected leader, such as a president or prime minister, as well as from a dictator in a totalitarian state.

Following are 14 characteristics of a king that clarify that distinction.

1. A king is never voted into power. His power is inherent from birth. Democratic leaders are elected to power; totalitarian dictators seize power; but a king is born into power.

2. A king is king by birthright. His kingship is not conferred by men. Elected leaders rule by the will of the people. Dictators rule through fear, repression, and coercion. A king rules because he is born to it.  Christ was born a King. We do not make Him King; all we can do is acknowledge that He is King.

3. A king cannot be voted out of power. Because the kingdom is his by birth, a king rules for life. A president is voted out of office or departs due to term limits. A dictator may be brought down by a coup d’etat or popular uprising.

Kingship, however, is a lifelong office. The King of Heaven reigns by sovereign right of creation. He will never be voted out of power. Nor will He ever be dethroned. No act either of man on earth or of the spiritual powers of darkness will ever remove the King of Heaven from His throne.

The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever (Revelation 11:15b).

4. A king’s authority is absolute. That is why he is not a president or a prime minister. Presidents must consult Congress, and prime ministers, Parliament.

5. A king’s word is law. Because a king’s authority is absolute, his word is law. No one can countermand his orders, negate his pronouncements, set aside his decrees, or amend his statutes.

The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous….By them is Your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward (Psalm 19:7-9,11). The King’s word is law. Great reward follows obedience. Disobedience brings severe penalties.

6. A king personally owns everything in his domain. Presidents and other elected leaders do not own their countries; they are citizens like everyone else.

Dictators often act as though they own everything, but whatever they possess they acquire by fraud, theft, and corruption. A king, on the other hand, personally owns everything in his domain (Psalm 24:1). The King of Heaven Himself declares: Every animal of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills

7. A king’s decree is unchanging. In a democratic system, laws can be amended, revised, or revoked. Dictators change and even reverse their own decrees whenever it suits them.

8. A king chooses who will be a citizen. In a democracy, the citizens choose their leader while a totalitarian system treats its “citizens” as little more than tools of the state.

A kingdom operates in the opposite manner—the king chooses the citizens. Because his authority is absolute, he determines the standards of citizenship in his kingdom. The people do not vote for the king, but in essence, he votes for them.

9. A king embodies the government of his kingdom. This means that wherever a king is, his entire government is present earth; the Kingdom is here because the King is here Yeshua said:
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 (Matthew 18:19-20).

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20).

The Kingdom of Heaven is here because the King of heaven is here in the hearts and lives of His citizens who populate His colony here.

10. A king’s presence is the presence of his authority. When a king shows up, his full authority is present. His authority does not reside in a place or in a document; it resides in him personally.

This is why citizens of God’s Kingdom colony on earth can act with kingly authority. Because the King is present, His authority is present also. It was this present authority that Yeshua had in mind when He said:

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 (Matthew 18:18).

I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it (John 14:13-14).

Kingdom citizens may always exercise kingly authority because the King is always present with them.

11. A king’s wealth is measured by his property. The larger and richer in resources a kingdom is, the wealthier the king, because the king owns everything in his kingdom.

12. A king’s prosperity is measured by the status of his citizens. If the citizens are poor, the king is seen as a poor king. If the citizens are prosperous, however, the king is seen as a wealthy king. Wealthy citizens make a king proud. That is why it is important for a king to make sure his people prosper. Yeshua never preached prosperity.

Why not? Because prosperity is a matter of Kingdom business. Anyone who becomes a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven automatically prospers because the King of heaven is a wealthy King—the wealthiest of all.

And He is also a righteous and benevolent King who is committed to the fullest and greatest welfare of His people.

13.A king’s name is the essence of his authority. A king can delegate authority to anyone he pleases to act in his name or on his behalf. This is often done by issuing a “king’s letter,” a royal edict signed by the king and bearing his official seal that authorizes the bearer to act on his authority

14. A king’s citizenry represents his glory. Any conscientious king wants his citizens to be happy, prosperous, and content because their status and quality of life reflect on him.

The greater their prosperity and well-being, the greater the glory and honor that rest on the king who provides for them so well. Citizens of God’s Kingdom are supposed to show what their King is like by the way they live, act, dress, walk, and talk.

PRINCIPLES

1. A kingdom is the sovereign rulership and governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his will, his intent, and his purpose.

2. In the fullness of time, Yeshua came to the earth and reestablished the Kingdom. Because only a king can establish a kingdom, this act alone reveals that Christ is the King.

3. Yeshua said that His Kingdom was not of this world; He never said that it was not inthis world.

4. Inside each of us is a latent kingdom consciousness striving for expression.

5. We all seek power over things and over circumstances, and that is what the Kingdom of Heaven promises.

6. A king is the central component of his kingdom.

7. A king is the ultimate and only source of authority in his kingdom.

8. The sovereignty of a king is inherent in his royal authority.

9. God’s sovereignty is absolute. He is completely self-determining

KINGDOM CONCEPT #1--UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM CONCEPT OF KINGS

Popular uprisings against the remaining monarchies in the name of the pursuit of democracy have become the craze of today’s self-proclaimed freedom fighters.

In some cases it may be justifiable; in many of the instances cited, these kingdoms are filled with contradictions, abuse, oppression, social extremes, and dictatorial administrations.

However, it must also be noted that many of the democracies in our world today are also plagued with the same defects and shortcomings.

In essence, the problem is not the king, the kingdoms, or even the form of government, but the defects in the human nature that functions in any of these systems.

Yet the kingdom concept is the only one presented, preached, promoted, taught, and established by Christ throughout His ministry.

Yeshua’ message of the Kingdom was foreshadowed in the Old Testament centuries before He was born in Bethlehem. Here are two examples. The first one indicates God’s motivation for delivering the slave clans of Israel from Egyptian oppression:

“Now if you obey Me fully and keep My covenant, then out of all nations you will be My treasured possession. Although the whole earth is Mine, you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites (Exodus 19:5-6).

In the second example, we see the Old Testament Messianic promise declared by the prophet Isaiah, strongly indicating the governmental aspects of the Kingdom mandate: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders.

And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Yeshua’s message was clearly kingdom focused and not religiously motivated: From that time on Yeshua began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 4:17).

Yeshua went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people (Matthew 4:23).

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:3-4).

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:20).

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9b-10).

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).

Yeshua went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness (Matthew 9:35).

As you go, preach this message: “The kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 10:7).

But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you (Matthew 12:28).

He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them” (Matthew 13:11).

When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart (Matthew 13:19a).

Yeshua told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field” (Matthew 13:24).

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field” (Matthew 13:31).

He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough” (Matthew 13:33).

My purpose for listing all of these statements is to show and emphasize the preoccupation Yeshua had with the kingdom concept rather than a religion. The original ideal kingdom concept is distinct from the earthly version even though it contains many of the same components and concepts of all kingdoms.

In the fullness of time, Yeshua came to the earth and reestablished the Kingdom. Because only a king can establish a kingdom, this act alone reveals that Christ is the King. The Bible, the constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven, leaves no doubt as to the Kingship of Yeshua.

Perhaps the clearest statement of all is found in the 18th chapter of the Gospel of John where Yeshua, mere hours before His execution by crucifixion, has a revealing exchange with Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of the province of Judea.

“Are you the king of the Jews?”…Yeshua said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is from another place.” “You are a king then!” said Pilate.

Yeshua answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me.” “What is truth?” Pilate asked (John 18:33b,36-38a).

Yeshua said, “My kingdom is not of this world,” and “My kingdom is from another place,” clearly implying that He was a King. He was speaking of the Kingdom of Heaven.

God created us for kingship—for dominion—and inside each of us is a latent kingdom consciousness striving for expression. This consciousness reveals itself in various ways, such as in our natural resistance to being ruled or controlled by any other person and our continual longing to control the circumstances of our own lives.

That is what finally connected me to  Yeshua—when I realized that He could teach me how to run life, not let life run me. I learned that I could control my own circumstances.

While it is natural to desire power over things and circumstances, desiring power over people is another matter. Seeking to influence people, public opinion, and public policy through kingdom principles is always appropriate, but pursuing despotic power over other people for personal gain at their expense is a corruption of our natural quest for power. Desiring to control our own life is one thing; desiring to control others’ lives is another.

Shema Selah we must obtain His understanding of the kingdom to return to the original plan for our lives!!  https://www.facebook.com/fiveam.prayer/videos/1540947905983320/?l=7073689749413200812

Colonization is Heavens System for Earthly Influence!!!

Genesis 3

We are walking in today:  Colonization is Heavens System for Earthly Influence!!!

Witness rule throughout the Bible:   H4910 mashal--to exercise dominion, to cause to rule 

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler H4910 in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

 

​​

The Torah  ...............

 Genesis 45:8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath  made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler H4910 throughout all the land of Egypt.

   
The prophets ..................
  Isaiah 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that  rule H4910 this people which is in Jerusalem.

The writings ...........................
   Judges 8:23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule H4910 over you, neither shall my son rule H4910 over you: the LORD shall rule H4910 over you.

 Zechariah 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule H4910 upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

Genesis 3:15  I will put animosity between you and the woman, and between your descendant and her descendant; he will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM CONCEPTS

Studying the concept of kingdoms is important for a couple of reasons. First, because most of us today, particularly in the west, have never lived in a kingdom, the concept is completely foreign to us. We simply do not know what it is like to live under a king.

This might not be a problem were it not for the second reason for studying the Kingdom: God’s government, the government of Heaven, is a kingdom, and God is the King. And because His Kingdom extends through all creation, encompassing both the supernatural and the natural realms, it covers us also, which is why we need to understand it.

A third and critical reason to study and restore this concept of kingdom is because the Bible is not about a religion or an organization but a King and His Kingdom. Therefore, in order to correctly understand, interpret, and apply the Scriptures, knowledge of kingdoms is necessary.

Once His Kingdom was established in Heaven, God desired to extend it to another realm. With this end in mind (the big picture) He created a visible, physical universe with billions of stars, including the one we call Sol, the sun around which revolves this planet we call Earth.

The King chose this planet specifically as the location of His Kingdom colony in the natural realm. He created it for that purpose. Then He placed on it human beings created in His image to run the colony for Him. In this way, God also established the first earthly kingdom, which was merely an extension of His Kingdom in Heaven.

According to the “colonial charter” stated in Genesis 1:26 that we looked at earlier, man originally was given an earthly kingdom to rule over, which was perfect. Adam and Eve were overlords of the physical domain, co-rulers who themselves were ruled only by God, their Creator-King. They were His people, and He was their God; there was no intermediary rulership.

Human kingdoms, which at best were but dim and flawed reflections of God’s Kingdom, had citizens who were also subjects of the king, meaning that they were “subject” to the king’s personal ambitions, goals, whims, and desires. God’s Kingdom is different. In the Kingdom of God there are no subjects, only citizens—but every citizen is a king (or queen) in his or her own right. This is why the Bible refers to God as the “King of kings.”

THE KINGDOM IS HERE

Adam and Eve’s rebellion cost them their kingdom. Chapter 3 of Genesis relates the sad story of how the human pair fell victim to the lies and deceptions of the serpent, which embodied the prince of darkness, that fallen angel known as satan or lucifer. With Adam and Eve’s abdication, lucifer seized control of their earthly domain as a brazen, arrogant, and illegal pretender to the throne.

Immediately the King of Heaven put in motion His plan to restore what man had lost. And what did man lose? A kingdom. Adam and Eve did not lose a religion because they had never had a religion; they had a kingdom. So when God set out to restore what they had lost, He set out to restore a kingdom, not a religion.

After the disaster in Eden, the King confronted His rebellious co-rulers and their deceiver and addressed each one in turn. Of greatest interest to us in this context is what the King said to the serpent, because it has kingdom implications: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel (Genesis 3:15).

When Yeshua appeared on the scene in real, space-time history, He brought a message not of a religion, new or old, but of the Kingdom:

From that time on Yeshua began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 4:17).

These are the first recorded words of Yeshua. The phrase “that time” refers to the arrest of John the Baptist, a prophet whose mission was to announce the arrival of the King. Now the King Himself was on the scene, and He was announcing the arrival of the Kingdom. This was the only message Yeshua preached. Search all four of the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and you will find that Yeshua always talked about the Kingdom.

Before we could be fully restored to our Kingdom, however, the matter of our rebellion against God had to be dealt with. This rebellion is what the Bible calls sin, and it is universal in human nature, a legacy of Adam and Eve’s treason in Eden so long ago.

Yeshua's death on the cross paid the price for our rebellion so that we could be restored to a right standing with God, our King, and be reinstalled in our original and rightful place as rulers of the earthly domain.

SONS, NOT SERVANTS

Why did God wait thousands of years from the promise in Eden of Kingdom restoration to its realization with the coming of Yeshua? He had to allow the course of human history to flow until the timing was right. In order for us to understand what we lost when we lost the Kingdom, much less understand kingdom principles, God needed the right prototype as an example.

When the Roman Empire came to power, it had a concept of citizenship. It had a concept of lordship (ownership). It had a king and a domain. It practiced colonization. Rome had such an influence that wherever it advanced, that part of the world became like Rome. When God saw Rome, He said, “That’s exactly what I want.” When the time was right, the King of Heaven sent His Son to restore His Kingdom on earth. Paul of Tarsus stated it this way:

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 (Galatians 4:4-5).

The King of Heaven wants sons and daughters, not servants. Religion produces servants. It revels in the spirit of servitude. Please don’t misunderstand me. A servant heart is, as Yeshua said, the key to greatness in the Kingdom of God.

26 Among you, it must not be like that. On the contrary, whoever among you wants to be a leader must become your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave! 28 For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve — and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matt. 20:26-28

But this kind of service should always proceed from the place of security in our knowledge that we are sons and daughters of the King and simply are following His example. Servanthood in the religious spirit, on the other hand, proceeds from a sense of false humility and self-deprecation where one sees oneself not as a son or daughter, but as a slave.

Sons and daughters of the King see service as a privilege; religious people see it as an obligation. And therein lies the difference. Sons and daughters serve willingly because they are sons and daughters. Religious people serve grudgingly because they feel they have no choice if they hope to win the approval of the King. Never confuse serving with being a servant.

Yeshua came that we might “receive the full rights of sons.” This is legal language. There is not a bit of religion in these words. They refer to legal rights and entitlements based on relationship of birth. We are sons and daughters of God. Sonship is our right by creation. Christ did not die to improve us; He died to regain and confirm us.

The price He paid in His own blood was not to make us worthy but to prove our worth. He did not come to earth to enlist an army of servants. He came to restore the King’s sons and daughters to their rightful position—rulership as heirs of His Kingdom.

Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it (Luke 16:16b).

PRINCIPLES

1. Colonization is Heaven’s system for earthly influence.
2. God’s original intent was to extend His heavenly government over the earth, and His plan for accomplishing this was to establish a colony of Heaven on the earth.
3. By creative right, the earth is Heaven’s “crown land.”
4. The King gave man rulership of the earth, not ownership.
5. A colony is “a group of emigrants or their descendants who settle in a distant land but remain subject to the parent country.”
6. As citizens of Heaven, we inhabit the earth for the purpose of influencing it with the culture and values of heaven and bringing it under the government of the King of Heaven.
7. God’s government, the government of Heaven, is a Kingdom, and God is the King.
8. A kingdom is simply a domain over which a king has rulership.
9. In the Kingdom of God there are no subjects, only citizens—but every citizen is a king (or queen) in his or her own right.
10. When Yeshua brought the Kingdom of Heaven to earth, He brought also the promise of restoring to mankind the dominion over the earth that Adam and Eve had lost in Eden.
11. The King of Heaven wants sons and daughters, not servants.
12. Yeshua came that we might “receive the full rights of sons.”

Shema Selah, WE ARE ONE!!! ECHAD!!! We never lost heaven, it is the kingdom of  the Most High operating here upon the earth that was lost in the garden of Eden!!

Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.”

From our discussions thus far, two things at least should be perfectly clear at this point. First, every person on earth, without exception, is seeking a kingdom. Consciously or unconsciously, every human activity and endeavor is directed in one way or another toward this pursuit.

And second, as we have just seen, the kingdom concept of government, the original and first governmental concept, is far superior to any governmental system devised by man. The caveat, of course, is that such a kingdom be ruled by a righteous and benevolent king. Otherwise, a kingdom will prove to be no better than any other system.

The kingdom concept is of heavenly, not earthly, origin. Its appearance on earth is due to another concept that originated in heaven—the concept of colonization. Simply stated, colonization is Heaven’s system for earthly influence.

SEEING THE BIG PICTURE

We humans, divided as we are by religion, ethnicity, geography, national identity, and differing governmental systems and economies, have trouble grasping the overall picture that we are one global village.

In the midst of our myopic pursuit of self-advancement, we fail to recognize that such a kingdom is available for the having. But we will never see it until we step back to take in the big picture. In other words, a good artist sees the finished product in his or her mind before beginning to paint or sculpt or draw.

That is what it means to get the big picture—to see the end from the beginning and keep that end clearly in view throughout the creative process. That is why you should never judge an artist while he is working. It is only in the finished product where his full vision and intent can be seen.

The biggest problem in our world today, including the religious world, is that we are so preoccupied with the phases that we cannot see the big picture. We are so caught up with our own little part— and with fighting and arguing with everybody else over their little part—that we have lost sight of our purpose.

Purpose defines the big picture. In other words, the big picture is the original purpose or intent of the artist or builder—the desired end result. What was God’s purpose as the Artist who created humanity? What was the end result He desired? As Designer of the human race, what was God’s original intent?

THE MOST HIGH’S BIG PICTURE

God’s original intent was to extend His heavenly government over the earth, and His plan for accomplishing this was to establish a colony of heaven on the earth. This was God’s big picture. The King of Heaven has a big agenda, bigger than national or international affairs.

His is an inter-realm agenda. God deals with inter-realm affairs, the relationship between the invisible realm of Heaven and the visible realm of earth. His plan was to connect these two through colonization. How did He accomplish this?

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

This opening statement establishes God’s universal kingship by divine right of creation with absolute authority to do whatever He pleases. A little further down we find earth’s “colonial charter”:

Genesis 1:26-28 26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.” 27 So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. 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.”

This colonial charter delineated the purpose and defined the parameters of the colony. It also designated the persons who received responsibility for carrying out the King’s desire. Notice that this statement says nothing about religion. This charter is not a religious declaration; it is a government document that defines governmental intent and establishes governmental authority. So the King, in this one statement, declares His big picture—to create some beings just like Himself, place them on the earth, and let them rule it for Him as vice-regents of His heavenly government.

This was His plan and His purpose for creating man. Because the purposes of God are unchanging, this is still His purpose and plan today.

HEAVEN’S CROWN LAND

God created the earth as a place over which to extend His influence, but He intended to do it through mankind, not Himself. He designed man to be a fit colonizer of the physical world He wanted to colonize.

The King gave us dominion over the earth, not as owners but as vassal-kings to extend His heavenly government to the earthly realm. He gave us rulership, not ownership. We have the privilege to rule the earth, and with that privilege also comes the responsibility of wise and righteous management. And we are accountable to the King for how we manage our domain.

It is also on this prerogative of Kingship and Lordship that God could, without the permission of its current inhabitants, promise Abraham the land of Canaan as a birthright. Today we see this understanding of crown land applied in the nation of Israel. The ancient Hebraic law handed down through Moses stipulated that no property sales in Israel were permanent because the land belonged to God.

Israelites were free to occupy their own plot of land, develop it, cultivate it, live off of it, and even pass it on to their heirs. They were not to sell it, however, especially to non-Israelites.

Psalms 24:1-2  1 The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it, the world and those who live there;
2 for he set its foundations on the seas and established it on the rivers.

Psalms 115:16 16 Heaven belongs to Adonai but the earth he has given to humankind.

Leviticus 25:23-24 23 “‘The land is not to be sold in perpetuity, because the land belongs to me — you are only foreigners and temporary residents with me. 24 Therefore, when you sell your property, you must include the right of redemption. 

The principle here is that in a kingdom, living on and using the land is a privilege, not a right.

GOD’S COLONIAL INTENT:

God never does anything to no purpose. From the very beginning, God’s intent for the earth was that it be colonized.

Isaiah 45:18
…He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited…

We own nothing but have access to everything, as long as we operate within the parameters of the governing principles the King has established for His Kingdom. This is what it means to be a colony of Heaven.

Paul of Tarsus, a first-century ambassador and colonizer for the King of heaven, described the King’s colonial intent this way: …

Ephesians 3:9-11 9 and of letting everyone see how this secret plan is going to work out. This plan, kept hidden for ages by God, the Creator of everything,  10 is for the rulers and authorities in heaven to learn, through the existence of the Messianic Community, how many-sided God’s wisdom is. 11 This accords with God’s age-old purpose, accomplished in the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.

Wow and I’ve read that scripture many times, never saw it like that before!!!!

In other words, to the spirit world. His purpose in colonizing earth was to show the spiritual powers of darkness how beings created in His own image could be planted on the earth and bring in the government and culture of Heaven so that in the end, the earth would look just like Heaven.

In summary:

1. A colony is a group of citizens established in a foreign territory to influence that domain for their home government.

2. A colony is a foreign territory inhabited by citizens charged to influence that domain with the culture and values of their government.

3. A colony is the presence of a distinct cultural citizenry in a foreign territory governed by the laws and culture of their home government. Such is the concept of kingdom colonization.

Shema Selah, we have to understand the kingdom concept to find true understanding of the Bible, this is our return to the King's original intent!!

The Return of The King and His Kingdom!!!

We are walking in today:  The Return of The King and His Kingdom!!!

Witness recover throughout the Bible:  H7725 shuwb--to return unto, go back, come back , refresh, restore, recover

1 Samuel 30:19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered H7725 all.

The prophets  ..................
 Jeremiah  41:16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered H7725 from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again H7725 from Gibeon:


The writings  ...........................

Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?   

Psalms 45:6  6 (5) Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under you, as they penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.

DICTATORSHIP

Dictatorship is the form of government derived from the concept of “divine authority,” which is built on the belief that certain individuals are chosen by the gods or by providence to rule the masses and exercise authority over the less fortunate or so-called “inferior” peoples.

This is the form of governing we find in the biblical records and other sources such as the Egyptian pharaohs, who believed they were products of the gods and were destined to rule people by virtue of birthright.

A dictatorship is government that concentrates its power and authority in the hands of one individual who wields absolute authority unrestricted by laws, constitution, or any other social/political factor.

The dictatorship is also a twisted attempt by man to reestablish the original form of government established by the Creator in the Garden of Eden when He delegated total rulership and dominion control to the man. Dictatorship over humanity is not God’s original form of government..

1 Samuel 12:12-13 12 When you saw that Nachash the king of the people of ‘Amon was attacking you, you said to me, “No, we want a king to rule over us” — when Adonai your God was your king. 13 Now, here’s the king you have chosen, the one you asked for. See, Adonai has put a king over you.

COMMUNISM

As a form of government, communism is a combination of the first two types of governing. Communism is man’s attempt to control land and people by the exercise of dictatorship. This is why a communist state repossesses all private property and attempts to enforce productivity through oppression and coercion.

It seeks to accomplish this by attempting to legislate love and sharing, an approach that never succeeds because human nature cannot be forced to love or to care. These behaviors result from natural motivation and internal convictions. No law can accomplish that.

In essence, communism is an attempt to establish a kingdom without righteousness.

SOCIALISM

Socialism, a stepchild of communism, is another endeavor to bring the state closer to the needs of the people. It substitutes the state for the king and attempts to control society for the benefit of society. Like all the others, socialism is another failed attempt by man to govern himself. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the state loses its concern for the individual as it becomes more obsessed with its own power.

DEMOCRACY

Democracy has its roots in the writings of the Greeks and is viewed by many people (even those in the Western religions) as the perfect government.

Plato called it the fairest of constitutions but did so only reluctantly because he saw weaknesses within democracy that would lead to its downfall. The rule of the people, by the people, and for the people is a fine idea.

Democracy as a principle is man’s reaction to all the other forms of government such as feudalism, dictatorship, communism, and socialism.

A close study of the roots of western democracy will reveal that it was a reaction and rebellion against a divine choice or feudal system of governing called a kingdom. In reality, America was built on rebellion against a kingdom.

Americans have never understood the potential power of a king and his kingdom because they were exposed to corrupt kings. Out of that fear they created a system of rule that would limit the power of a single man.

It is also built on the premise and principle of the “majority rule” and the protection of individual rights. Democracy has served our nations well in that it has given voice to the people and provides opportunity for broad-based participation in the political process by the people of a nation.

Democracy cannot succeed without God any more than communism can succeed without God. God is not subject to our politics, nor can He be, but He has created His own political system and governmental structure which, as this book will demonstrate, is far superior to all forms of earthly government.

From the Creator’s perspective, life is politics, and He is the essence of life. In Him there is no distinction between government and spirituality. They are one and the same. The assignment given to the first man in the Garden of Eden was a political assignment given to a spirit being living in a flesh body.

Therefore, in the context of the original biblical mandate, the concept of the separation of church and state or religion and government is a lofty idea that has no root in biblical logic or fact. The original biblical mandate provides no foundation for it.

You cannot legislate a dichotomy between a man and his belief system. Legislation itself is the result and manifestation of a belief system and moral judgment.

Therefore, democracy can succeed only where there is a clear accountability to a moral code accepted by the majority as being good, civil, and right, and which serves as the anchor and foundation for national governance.

THE RETURN OF THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM

He called Himself a “King” and said He came to bring back to earth a “Kingdom.” According to this message, which was the only one He preached, the ultimate key to successful human earthly government is the restoration of a King and a Kingdom on earth, albeit a righteous, benevolent and good King.

1 Timothy 6:15  Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Man has tried every imaginable way to create a flawless government. What he has failed to understand is that the original Kingdom, established by the King, is what he has been searching for all along.

The kingdoms of this world must accept the Kingdom of the Lord and of His Christ. The original and ideal King and Kingdom are superior to all other forms of government. We must come to understand the superiority of a kingdom over all other forms of government.

Once we are under the rule of this gracious, merciful, benevolent, loving, caring King, He takes personal responsibility for us, not as servants or serfs, but as family and royal children.

This care of the citizens by the king is a concept called “kingdom welfare” and describes the king’s personal commitment to look after the needs and wants of his citizens within his land. Therefore, the word welfare is a concept that can only be understood fully in the context of a kingdom.

Whenever we submit to a king and his kingdom, we come under His welfare. Welfare is not a word that can be used in a democracy. For many, the very word welfare paints negative pictures in their minds, and they believe it to be a societal curse.

In the context of a kingdom, however, welfare is a beautiful word and describes something to be highly desired. It is a word that is used to express a king’s commitment to his citizenry. This is why in all true kingdoms the concept of prosperity and national social services is called “common wealth.”

Again, this concept can only be understood within the concept of a kingdom. In any of the other forms of government, no regime or person has ever been successful in effectively caring for “all” of the citizens.

Therefore, in a kingdom, the concept of “commonwealth” is also very important, and the word correctly describes the nature of the relationship the king has with his citizens and subjects.

The wealth in a kingdom is common. Therefore, in a true ideal kingdom there is no discrimination or distinction between the rich and the poor, for in such a kingdom all citizens have equal access to kingdom wealth and resources provided by the benevolent king. In essence, the King’s interest is the welfare of the Kingdom and everything in it.

PRINCIPLES

1. Ninety percent of all the national and international problems facing our world today are the result either of government or religion.

2. The need for government and order is inherent in the human spirit and is a manifestation of a divine mandate given to mankind by the Creator.

3. Man’s need for some formal government structure is an outgrowth of his need for social order and relationship management.

4. The mandate of the Creator for mankind was rulership 

5. Some governments are better than others, but all are inferior to God’s government—the Kingdom of Heaven.

6. Feudalism as a concept of governing was a derivative of the original government established in the Garden of Eden under the first man, Adam, who himself was made the landlord of the earth.

7. Feudalism is an illustration of the danger of putting the authority that belongs to the King of Heaven into the hands of ungodly and unrighteous human kings and lords.

8. A dictatorship is a government that concentrates its power and authority in the hands of one individual who wields absolute authority unrestricted by laws, constitution, or any other social/political factor.

9. Communism is man’s attempt to control land and people by the exercise of dictatorship.

10. Communism is an attempt to establish a kingdom without righteousness.

11. Socialism substitutes the state for the king and attempts to control society for the benefit of society.

12. Democracy is the best form of civil government as we know it because of its basic tenets and because of the checks and balances of the system.

13. One major defect of democracy is its fundamental principle of “majority rule,” which even though it gives power to the majority of the people, places morality, values, and the standards for law at the mercy of the majority, thus legitimizing the majority’s values, desires, beliefs, aspirations, and preferences.

14. Our best alternative is to return to the original governing concept of God the Creator, which is the kingdom concept.

Shema Selah, this is our return to the King of all kings!!  He is King of the Universe, thank You the Most High!! For You have truly delivered us from man's government and returns us to the original rule!!

THE GOVERNMENT OF MAN VERSUS THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD 

The Bible is the most misunderstood book on planet earth, not only by those who do not prescribe to it, but also by many of those who claim to know and embrace its message. Simply stated, the Bible is about a King, a Kingdom, and a royal family of children. The Bible is not about religion and was never intended to be a religious book. Rather, its story and message are about the desire of a King to extend His Kingdom to new territories through His royal family. The Bible, therefore, is about government and governing. What is government? Government is about order, influence, administration, distribution, protection, maintenance, accountability, responsibility. and productivity. Technically speaking, government is the person, group, or organization that executes the functions of governing. This is manifested in the exercise of authority and jurisdiction over territory and a citizenry. Government was first established by the command and mandate of God to Adam and incorporates the need to order, work, oversee, guard, and protect. The roots of government in the western world reach back to the world of the Greeks. In Greek, government (kubernites) literally means to steer, to pilot, or to act as a rudder. Without law and government we have chaos. So, government is the power given or derived for the purpose of making and enforcing laws for a certain territory. Governing incorporates the concepts of both power and authority. These two are distinct from each other and must be fully understood in order to appreciate the proper context of  government. Both authority and power must be in balance for government to be successful. Authority has to do with responsibility while power has to do with ability. Authority has to do with empowerment; power focuses on exercising authority. Authority gives power its legality. Power without legitimate authority is dictatorship and inevitably results in abuse, oppression, and destruction. Authority gives power its rights. Authority is the key to successful government. If the ruling power does not have authority, it cannot govern. The authority to govern either is given by way of a popular vote or derived by way of inherent authority. Earthly governments derive their authority from the people either through a process of choice or by usurping authority through force. For instance, a president or premier or prime minister is imbued with authority by the people who voted him or her into power. In kingdoms, however, authority is inherent and a product of the rights of ownership. This concept is crucial in understanding the nature of kingdoms. God’s authority as King is inherent. No one gives Him authority. He has authority because of who He is and because He created the earth and everything that lives on the earth. That is why Yeshua could say that all authority had been given to Him. His Father had all authority and therefore had the right to give it to His Son. The Father had creative rights to the whole universe. The governments of this earth get their authority by way of vote or violence. It is not inherent authority. The only government on the earth that represents inherent authority is a monarchy. A king has the power and can give it to whomever he chooses. All other governments are formed by casting a vote or by launching a revolution. In the final analysis, all human governments are substitutions for the ideal, no matter how good these governments might be. Let us take a brief look at some of man’s attempts at government and structures of rulership. The most important one we will discuss will be the form of governing we call feudalism.

 FEUDALISM 

Feudalism describes a governing or ruling system that was established by virtue of the power of ownership. As a matter of fact, the authority in this system was called a “feudal lord,” meaning a landowner. During the early Middle Ages, the economic and social power of societies were related to agriculture; therefore, land was the key source of power. He who owned the land owned the power. When land is power, then whoever owns the most land controls everyone and everything. This is where the idea of “real estate” originated. Landowners were the ones who were considered to possess real estate. The landowner was the “lord” of the land. Thus we find the word landlord used to describe those who owned land. Therefore, the primary pursuit of all who desired power was land. Landowners were known as lords and eventually became “rulers” of their land. The more land they owned the greater their lordship, or rulership. Individuals who owned significant parcels of land became known as “kings.” In other words, the prerequisite for becoming a king was the ownership of land. This is also where the idea of earthly kingdoms gets its birth. “Kingdom” was the word used to describe the territory over which a local king, or landowner, ruled or exercised ownership right and authority. It is also important to note that because all the land was personally owned by the landlord, then private property was not possible; thus, all the people who lived on and worked the land did so at the pleasure and mercy of the king or landlord. Everything in the land, including animals, natural resources, and all other materials, were considered the personal property of the king or lord. In many cases, where the lord or king was kind and benevolent, the people who lived, worked, and served on his land enjoyed the benefits of his kindness. And because they made his land productive and added prosperity to him, he provided, protected, and cared for them. This is why a good king tended to attract many to his kingdom. Feudalism as a concept of governing was a derivative of the original government established in the Garden of Eden under the first man, Adam, who himself was made the landlord of the earth. God’s original plan was a feudal system where all men served as kings and lords of the earth, ruling not humans but the animal, plant, bird, and water kingdoms. However, in cases where the landlord or king was not kind and merciful, the result was abuse and oppression of the people by virtue of noble status. Whoever owned the land controlled those who lived on the land. Feudalism is an illustration of the danger of putting the authority that belongs to the King of heaven into the hands of ungodly and unrighteous human kings and lords. When the culture migrated away from agriculture to industry, the noble lords eventually lost their power.

 Witness consider throughout the Bible:  H7200 ra'ah--to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider, give attention to, discern, distinguish, be shown 

Psalm 119:153 Consider H7200 mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.


The Torah  ...............
 Exodus 33:13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider H7200 that this nation is thy people.

The prophets proclaim..................
 1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider H7200 how great things he hath done for you.

The writings bear witness...........................
 Judges 19:30 And it was so, that all that saw H7200 it said, There was no such deed done nor seen H7200 from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.

 

Proverbs 24:32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked H7200 upon it, and received instruction.

Romans 8:19-21 19 The creation waits eagerly for the sons of God to be revealed; 20 for the creation was made subject to frustration — not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it. But it was given a reliable hope 21 that it too would be set free from its bondage to decay and would enjoy the freedom accompanying the glory that God’s children will have.

THE CONCEPT OF KINGDOM

Man’s original assignment from God was a Kingdom assignment: “Let them have dominion over…the earth.” God’s plan for man was to extend His heavenly Kingdom (government) to the earth through the principle of colonization.

col·o·ni·za·tion [kälənəˈzāSH(ə)n] NOUN-- the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area; the action of appropriating a place or domain for one's own use

Man’s assignment was to establish the influence and culture of heaven on earth by representing the nature, values, and morality of God in the earth. Ever since the Fall of man, he has tried to imitate this concept of kingdom; but throughout history, man’s every attempt to establish a heavenly kingdom on earth has failed.

This is why religious governments always fail, whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or any other form. It is for this reason that God Himself had to come to earth to bring the heavenly Kingdom back to this planet. This is why religion cannot satisfy or fulfill man’s spirit.

LOSS OF A CONCEPT

The kingdom concept as a whole has been lost to contemporary human culture, especially in the Western world. In his attempt to create the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, man has opted to design his own forms of government. But his experiments continue to fail: evil kingdoms, empires, dictators, communism, socialism, democracy…and the list goes on.

Many historical kingdoms of the past contained several components that resemble the Kingdom of God and can be beneficial to us when studied. Most people alive today have never had any contact or relations with a kingdom. Consequently, ignorance of the kingdom concept makes it difficult to understand fully the message of the Bible.

How does one explore the concept, nature, function, program, components, principles, and power of the Kingdom? Answering these questions is the purpose and intent of this book. To accomplish this purpose we must:

Understand kingdom concept.
Understand kingdom philosophy.
Understand kingdom government.
Understand kingdom law.
Understand kingdom culture.
Understand kingdom society.
Understand kingdom economy.
Understand kingdom citizenship.
Understand kingdom provision.
Understand kingdom protocol.
Understand kingdom representation.

The secret to a full and fulfilled life is discovery, understanding, and application of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Religion postpones the Kingdom to a future experience. But you must remember that you cannot appropriate what you postpone.

PRINCIPLES
1. The greatest secret to living effectively on earth is understanding the principle and power of priorities.
2. The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a purpose—life with the wrong priorities.
3. Our self-worth is more important than our basic needs and should never be sacrificed for the sake of those needs.
4. God’s number-one priority for mankind is that we discover, understand, and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
5. A kingdom is the governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his personal will, purpose and intent, producing a culture, values, morals, and lifestyle that reflect the king’s desires and nature for his citizens.
6. God established only two priorities for mankind: the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God.
7. The concept of “kingdom” was not invented by mankind but was the first form of government introduced by the Creator.
8. Ignorance of the kingdom concept makes it difficult to understand fully the message of the Bible.

Psalm 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order H6186 unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Mathew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what shall ye put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

The pursuit of life is in the heart and minds of everyone male and female alike. Goals, careers, education, personal health targets, Bills, the latest technological gadget or car. All as a vice to pursuit of mankind. Who where created to be conquerors over this earths fruits.

But when the pursuit of these material vices becomes more of a bondage than obtaining happiness. The life lesson becomes repetitive and out of the accurate order The Most High intended the pursuit of life and happiness to be.

Therefore the question remains. What does the priority of life look like, seek things or The Kingdom, as The Most High intended it to be?

REDISCOVERING THE PRIORITY

The greatest secret to living effectively on earth is understanding the principle and power of priorities. Life on earth holds no greater challenge than the complicating daily demand of choosing among competing alternatives for our limited time.

Life was designed to be simple, not complicated, and the key to simplifying life is prioritization. Identifying the correct and right priority of life is the key to a successful and fulfilled life. So then, what is the principle and concept of priority?

Priority is defined as:

The principal thing.

Putting first things first.

Establishing the most important thing.

Primary focus.

Placing in order of importance.

Placing highest value and worth upon.

First among all others.

If our priorities determine the quality of life and dictate all of our actions and behavior, then it is essential that we understand and identify our priorities. The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without a purpose—life with the wrong priorities. Success in life is measured by the effective use of one’s time.

Your time is important because your time is your life. And the key to effective use of your time is establishing correct priorities. First things first! Correct priority is the principle of progress because when you establish your priority according to your purpose and goals then your progress is guaranteed. Correct priority protects your time. When you set the right priorities, then you use your time for intentional purposes; your time is not abused or wasted.

Failure to establish correct priority causes you to waste your two most important commodities: your time and your energy. Why is this principle of priority so important to our discussion of the Kingdom? Because if priority is the essence of life, then we should want to know what our priority in life should be so that we can live effectively.

THE PRIORITY OF GOD

Should it surprise us to discover that The Most High’s priority for mankind is completely opposite to man’s priorities? During His first discourse introducing His mission and primary message, Yeshua established The Most High’s priority for all mankind with several powerful and straightforward statements:

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? (Matthew 6:25).

His admonition to us not to worry implies that these basic needs for maintenance should not be the primary motivator for human action. The word worry means to consume in thought, to establish as our first interest, mental preoccupation, priority concern, fretting, fear of the unknown, and to rehearse the future over which we have no control.

Continuing on, Yeshua says:
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Matthew 6:26-27).

This statement implies that our self-worth is more important than our basic needs and should never be sacrificed for the sake of those needs.

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? (Matthew 6:28-30).

The thrust of these verses is that our confidence in our Creator’s obligation and commitment to sustain His creation should lead us to transfer our priority from our basic human needs to the priority of cultivating and maintaining a healthy relationship with His Kingdom and with Himself.

GOD’S PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT FOR MANKIND

Our first instruction from Yeshua is to seek. This means to pursue, study, explore, understand, learn, and consider. Seekers must have a desire to know, and possess a passion for the object of their search. To seek means to give diligent dedication to and to preoccupy one’s self with that which one is seeking. The Kingdom must be pursued, studied, understood, and learned.

Second, Yeshua tells us to make the Kingdom first. In other words, the Kingdom must be our top priority, the principal thing to place before all others as most important. We must place the highest value on the Kingdom of God, setting it above everything as our primary focus. The Kingdom must be placed above everything else and should have no competition. It must be our highest priority.

Yeshua then instructs us to seek first the Kingdom. This is the most important aspect of the mandate and must be carefully considered. First, it is important to understand that because a kingdom is not a religion, the priority of mankind should not be to seek a religion or some form of ritual.

The word for “kingdom” in this verse is basileia (NT: 923), the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew mamlakah (OT: 4467), translated in Genesis 1:26 as “dominion.” Both words mean dominion, sovereign rule, kingdom, reign, or royal power. In this book, we will focus on this concept in detail because it should be our priority and because it is generally an unknown or misunderstood concept in most modern cultures.

In practical terms, a kingdom may be defined as “the sovereign rule of a king over territory (domain), impacting it with his will, purpose, and intent.

A kingdom is…
The governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his personal will, purpose, and intent, producing a culture, values, morals, and lifestyle that reflect the king’s desires and nature for his citizens.

Yeshua’ final instruction to us in this verse is to seek also the righteousness of the Kingdom. This is another vitally important concept that has been diluted in the waters of religion and must be recovered if we are to understand the Kingdom and experience the abundant life all humans deserve.

The word righteousness is actually from the discipline of law, not religion, and implies right positioning. To be righteous means to be in alignment with authority, to be in right standing with authority, to have correct fellowship with authority, to be in right relationship with authority, to be in legal or lawful alignment, and to be in correct standing with the law or regulations (principles) of and to fulfill the requirements of authority.

In essence, righteousness describes the maintenance of the rightly aligned relationship with a governing authority so as to qualify for the right to receive governmental privileges.

This is why Yeshua emphasizes the Kingdom and the need to be righteous so that you can receive “all things added unto you.” This promise includes all your physical needs, all your social needs, all your emotional needs, all your psychological needs, all your financial needs, and all your security needs, as well as your need for self-significance and a sense of self-worth and purpose.

Therefore, as we have seen above, God established only two priorities for mankind: the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God. Kingdom refers to the governing influence of Heaven on earth and righteousness refers to right alignment and positioning with that government authority.

Our highest priorities and greatest desires should be to enter the Kingdom of God and thirst for a right relationship with God’s heavenly government.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Shema Selah, we have to return to the priorities of our King and how to operate in His kingdom!!   

Prepare to Expand Your Kingdom Authority!!!

Matthew 23

We are walking in today:  Prepare to Expand Your Kingdom Authority!!!

 Witness enlarge throughout the Bible:  H7337 rachab--to be or grow wide, be or grow large, to be widened, be enlarged

Exodus 34:24  For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge H7337 thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

The Torah ...............
 Deuteronomy 19:8 ​ And if the LORD thy God enlarge H7337 thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;

The prophets  ..................
 2 ​ ​Samuel 22:37 ​ Thou hast enlarged H7337 my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

The writings ...........................
 Psalm  119:32 ​ I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge H7337 my heart.

Matthew 23:13-15 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Simply asking these questions can ignite a spirit of depression and despair because they expose the deficiencies and defects of humanity and cast a somber cloud of doubt about our achievements as a race as well as our potential to improve our lot.

1. Why is there so much hatred in the world?

2. Why do we discriminate against people who possess
Human value?

3. Why is there racism in the world?

4. What are the benefits of war?

5. Why do men in every generation pursue power at the
expense of peace?

6. Why are there so many religions?

7. Why do the religions conflict?

8. Why can’t we love one another on earth?

9. Why is no one religion good enough for all men?

10. What can I do to make a difference in this world?

11. Why is there always tension between politics and religion?

12. Will there ever be global peace and harmony on earth?

13. Why has man’s scientific and intellectual advancement not been able to solve his social, cultural, and religious problems?

14. Is there hope for our world?

15. What about the future for our children? What kind of world will they live in?

This solution is not found in religion or politics but in an idea that has been misunderstood for six thousand years—a concept that was established at the foundation of creation but then was lost.

This book is about your original purpose for existence and the source of meaning behind your life. In these pages you will discover the Creator’s divine motivation, design, and mandate for His creation and your role in that creation.

Moses, the great freedom fighter and former prince of Egypt, first recorded this idea 3,500 years ago in his writings, documenting the creation narrative. But it was already an ancient concept even in his day.

Then, 2,000 years ago, this wonderful idea was reintroduced by a young country teacher from Galilee but later was misunderstood and lost in the complicated formation of another religion.

What is this idea? The Kingdom!

The concept of kingdom in its original and pure sense has been lost to our modern world. Kingdom as a concept does not exist anymore in the minds of people in Western civilization, particularly in the past few generations, because all the prototypes either have been destroyed or abandoned.

The goal of this book is to reintroduce the concepts, principles, and nature of true authentic kingdoms as presented by the Creator and show the superior and advantageous nature of kingdom as compared to any religion, political ideology, government system, or social program.

The greatest threat to civil society is mankind. Every day the flood of images on our television screens tells the sad story. Blood, death, diplomacy, conflict, hatred, fear, poverty, starvation, rape, genocide, refugees and human migration, natural disasters, daily bombings, economic uncertainty, immigration, corporate corruption, moral decay, sexual revolution, and clash of counter cultures—all of these testify to the undeniable fact that we are our own worst enemy.

We build buildings and then bomb them; we make weapons and then use them on ourselves; we invent medicines that heal and then withhold them from the sick; we improve the World Wide Web to enhance global communication and then use it to destroy the moral fiber of our children. We are our own greatest enemy.

Shema Selah, this is all about a King, His kingdom and the royal family!!! Turn from the distraction of religion to you soul's cry for kingdom!!!    

The Kingdom Has An Army!!

Psalms 91


We are walking in today:  The Kingdom Has An Army!!


Witness army throughout the Bible:   H6635 tsaba'--that which goes forth, army, war, warfare, host


Exodus 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.

 

The Torah ...............
 Genesis 26:26 - Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. H6635

The prophets  ..................
 1 Samuel 4:2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

The writings ...........................
 Judges 9:29  And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, H6635 and come out.

Daniel 11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

Psalms 91:11-12 11 for he will order his angels to care for you and guard you wherever you go. 12 They will carry you in their hands, so that you won’t trip on a stone.

As a recap of the weekend meditation. Chapter 9 UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM CONCEPTS. We left off on the concepts (precepts) of the Kingdom of Elohim number 13.

13. The Kingdom Taxation Principle
All kingdoms incorporate a taxation system, which allows its citizens to participate in the process of maintaining the kingdom infrastructure. The system allows the citizen to share in the kingdom’s commonwealth and return a set portion of the king’s resources back to the king.

In essence, everything in a kingdom already belongs to the king, including the taxes required from the citizen, therefore taxation is simply the government’s allowing its resources to pass through the hands of the citizen.

Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? (Matt. 22:17)

Then He said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Matt. 22:21b).

“In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing Me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty (Mal. 3:8b-12).

The Kingdom is life itself. Therefore it is imperative, crucial, and necessary that we all understand the concepts of kingdoms so that we can better appreciate the good news brought to earth by our Lord and Creator.

All true kingdoms contain the same characteristics and components. Here are concepts and principles of kingdoms that you should know and become familiar with. Study and apply them to the message of the Kingdom of God and heaven taught by the King Himself, Christ, in order to fully understand your purpose, potential, power, and position in life.

14. The Kingdom Army Principle
All kingdoms incorporate an army of security components to protect and defend their territory and citizens.

For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone (Ps. 91:11-12).

15. The Kingdom Delegated Authority Principle
All kingdoms establish a representative system that delegates responsibility to appointed citizens to serve as envoys or ambassadors of the kingdom or state. Ambassadors personify and embody the king’s authority and the kingdom or state. Ambassadors are the property and responsibility of the state and thus do not concern themselves with their own personal needs. Their primary purpose is to represent the interest of their kingdom.

As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified (John 17:18-19).

Again Yeshua said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” And with that He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:21-22).

16. The Kingdom Ambassador Principle
An ambassador speaks for the kingdom and does not represent himself, only his kingdom. The ambassador is the kingdom’s agency for conveying its will, desires, and purposes in the territory to which he or she is assigned.

And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us (2 Cor. 5:19b-20).

18. The Kingdom Administration Principle
All kingdoms establish a system through which they administer their judgments and programs to the citizens. The administrative program is also designed to protect the right and privileges of the citizens and their access to the king’s favor.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16).

19. The Kingdom Principle of Glory
The glory of the king is all and everything in the kingdom that represents and manifests the true nature of the king himself. The glory literally means “true essence or full weight.”

Who among the gods is like You, O Lord? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out Your right hand (Exod. 15:11-12a).

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands (Ps. 19:1).

This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples (John 15:8).

20. The Kingdom Principle of Worship
The worship of a king is the expression of the citizen’s gratitude and appreciation to the king for his favor, privileges, and security of being in his kingdom. Worship is also an indication of the perceived worth that the king is to the citizen.

Worship always involves the offering of gifts to the king, indicating the citizen’s awareness that all things that he enjoys are at the pleasure of the king and the acknowledgment that it all belongs to the king. Worship also expresses one’s dependency on the king, which activates the king’s obligation to care for citizens who proclaim his name as their king.

Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span (Exod. 23:2526).

Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God (Exod. 34:14).

Yeshua said to him, “Away from Me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’” (Matt. 4:10).

Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span (Exod. 23:2526).

Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God (Exod. 34:14).

Yeshua said to him, “Away from Me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’” (Matt. 4:10).

21. The Kingdom Principle of Provision
In all true kingdoms the king is obligated to provide for his citizens and thus he makes provisions at his own expense for their security and welfare.

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed (Ps. 37:25-26).

So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” (Matt. 6:31).

22. The Kingdom Principle of Influence:

All kingdoms are committed to making the influence of the king and his will felt throughout the entire kingdom. He told them still another parable:

“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough” (Matt. 13:33).

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matt. 28:19-20).

23. The Kingdom Principle of Royal Favor
Royal favor is the sovereign prerogative of the king to extend a personal law to a citizen that positions that citizen to receive special privileges and advantages that are personally protected by the king.

And the Lord said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion (Exod. 33:19).

24. The Kingdom Principle of Decree
A royal decree is a declaration of a king that becomes law to all. It is sustained by the king’s personal commitment to bring the declaration or promise to pass.

Remember, O king, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed (Dan. 6:15).

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished (Matt. 5:18).

25. The Kingdom Principle of Reputation:
The king’s reputation is important to the king and is the source of the glory of his name. A king’s reputation is created and sustained by the conditions of his citizens and his kingdom. Therefore kings act in ways that are favorable to their name’s sake.

For the sake of His great name the Lord will not reject His people, because the Lord was pleased to make you His own (1 Sam. 12:22).

For the sake of Your word and according to Your will, You have done this great thing and made it known to Your servant (2 Sam. 7:21).

26. The Kingdom Principle of Giving to a King
Giving to a king activates the king’s obligation to demonstrate his glory and power to the giver and to prove that he is a greater king than all other kings. Giving to a king in his kingdom is the acknowledgment that all things belong to that king and the citizen is grateful.

Because giving to a king is impossible (since all things already belong to the king), the act of giving benefits the citizen more than the king. Thus one should never come before a king emptyhanded.

You were created to represent God and His heavenly government through your dominion over the territory of earth through the gift you possess. May you rediscover your true destiny through rediscovering your place in the Kingdom of God as His representative king-ruler over this colony called earth.

You were born to be born-again. It is your choice and your destiny! Welcome home to your dominion, and acknowledge Him truly as King of the Kings and Lord of the lords.

Thy Kingdom come! Welcome to the Kingdom of Elyon!!!


Psalm 91


1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Shema Selah for when we know and walk in kingdom we are not concerned about the rulers of this world!  Who is greater than the King of kings!?!?
