The writings bear witness.............




2 Chronicles 15:8




And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed H2318 the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.







CITIZENS OF A NEW ORDER




After Yahusha was baptized by John in the Jordan River and was “full of the Ruach Hacodesh,” the Spirit led Him into the wilderness where He fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted by the devil. Emerging victorious from His temptation, “Yahusha returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit” (Luke 4:14) and began proclaiming His message of the Kingdom. Yahusha was filled with the Ruach Hacodesh without measure. Throughout the Gospels there is no evidence or record that while Yahusha was on the earth the Ruach Hacodesh was present or active anywhere else except in Him. He was the vanguard of a new order, the first of a new generation of people who would be filled with the Ruach Hacodesh.




Yahusha came to reconnect us to His Father and His glorious Kingdom. The connecting link is the Ruach Hacodesh. That’s why the focus of His message was: “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is near.” Yahusha primary purpose was not to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, or perform other miraculous signs. Those things were only signs that the Kingdom of The Most High Yah had come to earth, but they were not His main focus. Yahusha ultimate assignment was to make way for the coming Kingdom by introducing men to the power of the Ruach Hacodesh.





AN INVASION FROM HEAVEN




Calvary then becomes the gateway into this majestic Kingdom. The essence of the gospel is that we can get back our spiritual connection to our Father. There is now a power available to us so that we can fulfill our role in the advancement of the Kingdom into the earth regions. This power is made available to us through an invasion of the Ruach Hacodesh into our lives. Yahusha opens up the door for that invasion to happen.




Yahusha promised that He would give us the Kingdom and the power to walk in that Kingdom. Yahusha said, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). It is The Most High Yah’s pleasure and desire to give us the Kingdom. He wants to restore our connection to Him. This is the heart of a loving Father: “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Ruach Hacodesh to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:11-13)




Yahusha death on the crucifixion stake was really a means to an end. Calvary became a cleansing fountain. Anyone who took the plunge into this fountain would become clean from the filth of living in this world. This cleansing would prepare them for receiving the power of the Ruach Hacodesh.




After the work was done, Yahusha appeared to His disciples and left this commission with them, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” After announcing their task, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Ruach Hacodesh” (John 20:21-22). With the cleansing process complete and now empowered by the Ruach Hacodesh, the disciples were ready to go forward as His ambassadors, taking His Kingdom into all the world.





THE MOST HIGH YAH COMES TO LIVE WITH MAN




Like those earliest disciples of Yahusha, we who are believers have the Ruach Hacodesh living in us as a continuing Presence.




This makes us, like them, citizens of a new order. The authority and power we now possess as Spirit-filled ambassadors of the King gives us a taste of what Adam enjoyed before the fall. Our reconnection to the Kingdom of The Most High Yah is seeing Eden restored in our life and experience. With the Ruach Hacodesh in control and leading us day by day, we can make wherever we are a little bit of “heaven on earth.”




As citizens of the new spiritual order, we are greater than those Old Testament men and women who went before us. This is not because of any particular merit of our own, but because of the indwelling Spirit, which they did not know. To the extent that we have The Most High Yah’s Spirit living in us, we are greater than Abraham. We are greater than Moses. We are greater than Samson, Samuel, and Saul. We are greater than David and Solomon. We are greater than Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and all of the other prophets. They only talked about the Kingdom, but we are living in it.





VIOLENCE IN THE KINGDOM




Again, in Matthew 11:12, Yahusha said, “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.” In other words, ever since the days of John, an invasion has been under way. A military takeover is in progress, which no one knows about except those who have been captured. Have you been taken over? I have been taken over—by the Kingdom of heaven. It has taken over my heart, mind, soul, body, and my entire future. It has taken over my attitude and made me a dangerous man—to the kingdom of darkness.




The Kingdom of heaven is advancing forcefully, and we who are citizens of that Kingdom, as part of the “advance force” must continue to storm the stronghold of the enemy. The world may be against us, but we are able to effectively advance the Kingdom because we have a greater power living in us than the power that controls the world (see 1 John 4:4). Yahusha said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).




We can be victorious by the power of the Spirit of The Most High Yah who resides in us. That is what it means to be citizens of the new order of the Kingdom of heaven. Gone are the days of rolling over and playing dead before the advances of the world. As Kingdom citizens we do not roll over and play dead for anyone; we advance forcefully. Gone are the days of wringing our hands over our problems, tribulations, and hardships. Gone are the days of trying to overcome without going through. In spite of the affliction and opposition of the world we have learned to overpower the enemy by the power of the One who lives in us.




The Kingdom of which we are a part is so powerful that we need not fear any potential opposition. Kingdom men and women say, “Bring on the problems,” and we will advance right through them. Our Kingdom does not run and it does not retreat; our Kingdom stands firm, advances, and overcomes.





REPRESENTING THE KING: THE POWER OF OUR POSITION




Understanding ourselves as ambassadors of Hamachiach and representatives of His Kingdom relieves a lot of self- imposed pressure. Being Hamachiach’s ambassador is a wonderful privilege, but it also comes with tremendous responsibilities, which are:




• Speaking the words of the King;

• Being concerned with only the interests of the King; and,

• Speaking only on behalf of His government;

• Maintaining connection and communication with the King; and

• Carrying out the policies established by the King.




Although our call to be ambassadors of the King of the universe might seem overwhelming, the pressure of that responsibility is eased somewhat once we realize that all we have to be concerned with is speaking the words of our King. Yahusha followed that course without exception, which is why He was so successful in His earthly ministry and example. He said, “I do nothing on My own but speak just what the Father has taught Me” (John 8:28b); “My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I, too, am working....I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does” (John 5:17,19).




As ambassadors of Hamachiach, we should be concerned only with the interests of our King. Everything we say and do should reflect desire and purpose. Our personal opinion does not matter. In the world of human diplomacy, an ambassador never shares his opinion. It is completely improper for an ambassador to express his personal opinion while acting in his official capacity as the representative and voice of his government. An ambassador who strays across the line into the territory of personal opinion risks jeopardizing his nation’s reputation and possibly even its security, and sets himself up for possible censure and recall.




An ambassador who understands his role will simply communicate the position of his government, regardless of his private views. It is no different in the Kingdom of The Most High Yah. As ambassadors of our King, our opinion is not important. The only opinion that matters is that of the King. Often as believers we run into trouble because, having been raised in a democracy, we are too accustomed to giving our own opinions. Sometimes we even confuse our opinion with that of the King and end up misrepresenting Him by presenting our thoughts and ideas as His opinions, thus creating great confusion in the world.





CARRYING OUT THE POLICIES OF THE KING




The only responsibility we have as Hamachiach’s ambassadors is to make sure we are connected to our King in such a way that we can know and understand what He says, and then speak and act accordingly. This is where the pressure is removed. We are not responsible for establishing policy; we are responsible only for carrying out the policies established by the King. It is not our job to decide what we believe and think. Our job is to learn and discern what our King thinks and then to come into agreement with Him.




Whenever someone tempts us or challenges us to take a position contrary to our King’s will, all we have to do is fall back on what He said. Someone might ask, “What’s wrong with a man and woman living together without marriage? What’s wrong with sex outside of marriage? This is a new day and age, and we need to be up with the times.” In response we can say simply, “Well, the position of my government (my King) is that it is sin.” There is no debate, argument, nor ambiguity. We simply fall back on the Word of The Most High Yah and let the responsibility rest there.




As long as we concentrate on our King’s interests and in representing Him faithfully, He will take care of ours. This He has pledged to do in a promise that can never fail. Yahusha said as much when He told His disciples, “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matt. 6:31-34).





SUPPORT FROM THE HOME BASE




We should not focus on other things even in our prayers, but our concentration should be on the will of The Most High Yah and the coming of His Kingdom. An ambassador’s home government provides him with everything he needs to live and perform his official function: office, home, car, staff, funding, etc. In the same way, as we seek The Most High Yah’s Kingdom and His righteousness as our first priority, He will supply everything we need for daily living and accomplishing His will. If we set ourselves to handling our King’s business, He will handle ours. It is a relationship of faith, trust, and obedience, enabling us to exercise power and authority in His name. Such faith grows from an increasing understanding of our position as ambassadors of Hamachiach.




Yahusha assignment was to reintroduce the Kingdom of The Most High Yah on earth. He preached it and He demonstrated its reality and power through the signs and wonders He performed. He completed His mission by His death on the crucifixion stake, offering His blood as a cleansing power to remove the influence and effects of sin in our lives. This cleansing of our lives makes us prepared to receive the Ruach Hacodesh and connects us to the Kingdom of The Most High Yah. As His ambassadors, we have been charged to proclaim the message of the Kingdom to all the nations. The Church has experienced a failure of success in its mission to the world because we have unfortunately created much confusion with our message. In order for the Church to effectively change the world she must clarify her message and commit herself to a renewed preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom.
