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!?!?
