Shift in the Spirit--Positioned Process: Appointed By The Most High And Accepted By Men!

1 Samuel 16

We are walking today:  Shift in the Spirit--Positioned Process: Appointed By The Most High And Accepted By Men!


Why was king David anointed three times, and had to wait for 7 years before being crowned king over Israel?

It is indeed true that before he became king of Judah and Israel, David was anointed three times, but it was progressive and in a sequence of importance. In order to understand why David was anointed three times before he was king, I believe it is prudent to point out first those three times that he was anointed;
1.) 1 Samuel 16:13, David is anointed to become king of Israel, in the place of King Saul who had been rejected by God. 

2.) 2 Samuel 2:4, David is anointed to be king of Judah by the men of Judah. 

3.) 2 Samuel 5:3, David was anointed to be accepted as king as king of Israel by the elders of Israel.

Shema Selah Hear O Israel, the Most High is our God and He is One!!!

The Most High's Original Intent for Man!!!!

Psalms 138 

We are walking in today: The Most High's Original Intent for Man!!!!

 Psalms 138:2-3
2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth; for you have made your word [even] greater than the whole of your reputation. 3 When I called, you answered me, you made me bold and strong.

REDISCOVERING THE KINGDOM CONCEPT

The message of the Bible is primarily and obviously about a Kingdom. If you do not understand kingdoms, it is impossible for you to understand the Bible and its message. However, over the past 2,000 years the true concept of kingdom has been lost, especially since the advent of modern governments built on new concepts of governing, e.g., democracy, socialism, communism, and dictatorships.

While it is true that many kingdoms have dark histories of atrocities and oppression, prospering at the expense of the dignity and value of their citizens, the original concept of kingdom as introduced by Elohim Himself, stands alone as the perfect prototype of government built on righteous judgment. All the kingdoms of the earth were mere attempts to imitate this perfect Kingdom.

Yeshua came to earth to restore what Adam lost, and He brought a kingdom message. Yeshua came to reestablish the government of God on earth and to reinstate His earthly kings to their rightful place of dominion. Adam lost a kingdom, not a religion, and therefore the redemptive work of the Creator would be the reestablishment of His Kingdom on earth.

WHAT IS A KINGDOM?

The Kingdom of God, according to Yeshua, also possesses these components. Here are some you will need to know in order to  understand the concepts of Scripture.

All kingdoms have:

• A King and Lord – a sovereign; The King is the embodiment of the kingdom, representing its glory and nature. Authority flows from the king and the word of the king is supreme

• A Territory – a domain; The Territory is the domain over which the king exercises total authority.

Psalm 24:1 The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it, the world and those who live there;

• A Constitution – a royal covenant; The Constitution is the covenant of a king with his citizenry and expresses the mind and will of the king for his citizens and the kingdom.

• A Citizenry – community of subjects; The Citizenry is the people that live under the rule of the king. Citizenship in a kingdom is not a right, but a privilege, and is a result of the king’s choice.

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

• Law – acceptable principles; The Law constitutes the standards and principles established by the king himself, by which his kingdom will function and be administered.

• Privileges – rights and benefits; The Privileges are the benefits the king lavishes on his faithful citizens.

• A Code of Ethics – acceptable lifestyle and conduct; A Code of Ethics is the acceptable conduct of the citizens in the kingdom and their representation of the kingdom.

• An Army – security; and, The Army is the kingdom’s system of securing its territory and protecting its citizens. A careful study of the biblical constitution of the word will show that the Church, as Yeshua established it, is not identified as an army but rather a citizenship, a family of sons and a nation.

Psalm 78:49-50
He unleashed against them His hot anger, His wrath, Indignation and hostility—a band of destroying angels

Psalm 103:20-21
Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word. Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, you His servants who do His will

Matthew 13:40-42
So it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

• A Commonwealth – economic security;
A Commonwealth is the economic system of a kingdom which guarantees each citizen equal access to financial security. In a kingdom, the term commonwealth is used because the king’s desire is that all his citizen’s share and benefit from the wealth of the kingdom. The kingdom’s glory is in the happiness and health of its citizens.

• A Social Culture – protocol and procedures.
The Social Culture is the environment created by the life and manners of the king and his citizens. This is the cultural aspect that separates and distinguishes the kingdom from all others around it. It is the culture that expresses the nature of the king, through the lifestyle of his citizens.

KINGDOM COMPONENTS

All kingdoms, including the Kingdom of God, have:

• A Health program – healing;

• An Education program – Teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit;

• A Taxation system – Tithing;

• A central Communication system – Gifts of the Spirit;

• A Diplomatic Corps - Ambassadors of Christ;

• A System of Administration – the Ministration of the Spirit through mankind called the Church;

• An Economy – a system of Giving and Receiving (seed time and harvest time).

MISUNDERSTANDING THE MESSAGE AND THE METHOD

The greatest danger in life is the misconstruing of a concept. A careful study of the promise will show that the promise was made “to” the nations “through” Abraham.

Abraham had a son of promise as promised, Isaac, who had two sons named Jacob and Esau. Jacob was chosen by God to be the line for the seed of the messiah king and his name was changed by God Himself to Israel, which means “prince with God.”

The Hebrews or Israelites were reminded of the promise from generation to generation, that the Messiah king would come and through Him all the nations of the earth would be blessed. However, they as a people misunderstood the promise and made themselves the object of the promise rather than the conduit. God had promised Abraham that the Messiah would come through his seed to redeem the world, but the Israelites used the choice of their line as a distinguishing factor to separate themselves from the very people they were to serve.

They developed a self-centered religion that condemned the world to which they were appointed to deliver the Redeemer, rather than God’s intention of a Kingdom of heaven on earth. Israel became the masters of misinformation. This error has left scars throughout history and continues to feed the remnant of Judaism today. This is where the great religion of Judaism was born, causing the reactionary development of many other religions of today. Over the past 3,000 years, the message of the Kingdom was gradually buried in the graveyard of religion.

THE PROMISE OF KINGDOM REDISCOVERY

The Old Testament is earth’s file of heaven’s record of the promise of the coming of the King and the Kingdom.

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to Him (Deuteronomy 18:15)

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).

So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: “The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth. But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever” (Daniel. 7:16-18).

So we see that the restoration plan of God was in motion from its earliest announcement to the adversary in Genesis, chapter 3. The prophecy stated that He would come and prepare the people for the entrance of the King and the Kingdom.

PREPARING FOR THE KING

Ten generations after Noah, God spoke to Abram, a descendant of Noah’s son Shem. God revealed Himself to Abraham and made a covenant with him that would make of him a great nation.

Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God appeared to Jacob and said, “I will make of you a great nation. Your name will now be Israel.” Israel had 12 sons, who were the fathers of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. God was working toward His model.

Through Moses, He delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, brought them into the desert, and told them, “You will be My people and I will be your God. I will lead you into the land I promised your forefathers.” In other words, He was saying, “I will be your King and you will be My Kingdom.” After a while, however, the people of Israel got tired of a God they could not see and longed for a king they could see. God never desired for them to have an earthly king.

Shema Selah let us rediscover the kingdom that we have hidden in the grave of religion!!! 

Taking a Stand as Judah Maccabees!! We Will Not Assimilate, It Is Hammer Time!

1 Maccabees 4

We are walking in today:  Taking a Stand as Judah Maccabees!! We Will Not Assimilate, It Is Hammer Time!


John 10:20-24

20 Many of them said, “He has a demon!” and “He’s meshugga! Why do you listen to him?” 21 Others said, “These are not the deeds of a man who is demonized — how can a demon open blind people’s eyes?” 22 Then came Hanukkah in Yerushalayim. It was winter, 23 and Yeshua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Shlomo’s Colonnade. 24 So the Judeans surrounded him and said to him, “How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly!”

To begin to celebrate Hanukkah we first want to have the understanding and history of this authentic biblical Feast Day called The Dedication of Lights.

John 10:22 Then came Hanukkah in Yerushalayim. It was winter,

Leviticus 6:12-13 12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. 13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

First we’ll start with Israel being enslaved by Syria. More than 2000 years ago there was a time when the land of Israel was part of the Syrian-Greek Empire, dominated by Syrian rulers of the dynasty of the Seleucids. We shall start with Antiochus III, the King of Syria, who reigned from 3538 to 3574 (222-186 B.C.E.). He had waged war with King Ptolemy of Egypt over the possession of the Land of Israel. Antiochus III was victorious and the Land of Israel was annexed to his empire. At the beginning of his reign he was favorably disposed toward the Hebrews and accorded them some privileges. Later on, however, when he was beaten by the Romans and compelled to pay heavy taxes, the burden fell upon the various peoples of his empire who were forced to furnish the heavy gold that was required of him by the Romans. When Antiochus died, his son Seleucus IV took over, and further oppressed the Hebrews.

Added to the troubles from the outside were the grave perils that threatened Judaism from within. The influence of the Hellenists (people who accepted idol-worship and the Syrian way of life) was increasing. Yochanan, the High Priest, foresaw the danger to Judaism from the penetration of Syrian-Greek influence into the Holy Land. For, in contrast to the ideal of outward beauty held by the Greeks and Syrians, Judaism emphasizes truth and moral purity, as commanded by G‑d in the holy Torah. Yochanan was therefore opposed to any attempt on the part of the Jewish Hellenists to introduce Greek and Syrian customs into the land. The Hellenists hated him. One of them told the King’s commissioner that in the treasury of the Temple there was a great deal of wealth.

The wealth in the treasury consisted of the contributions of "half a shekel" made by all adult Hebrews annually. That was given for the purpose of the sacrifices on the altar, as well as for fixing and improving the Temple building. Another part of the treasury consisted of orphans’ funds which were deposited for them until they became of age. Seleucus needed money in order to pay the Romans. He sent his minister Heliodorus to take the money from the treasury of the Temple.

A short time later, Seleucus was killed and his brother Antiochus IV began to reign over Syria (in 3586 - 174 B.C.E.). He was a tyrant of a rash and impetuous nature, contemptuous of religion and of the feelings of others. He was called "Epiphanes," meaning "the gods’ beloved." Several of the Syrian rulers received similar titles. But a historian of his time, Polybius, gave him the epithet Epimanes ("madman"), a title more suitable to the character of this harsh and cruel king. Antiochus tried to root out the individualism of the Jews by suppressing all the Hebraic Laws. He removed the righteous High Priest, Yochanan, from the Temple in Jerusalem, and in his place installed Yochanan’s brother Joshua, who loved to call himself by the Greek name of Jason. For he was a member of the Hellenistic party, and he used his high office to spread more and more of the Greek customs among the priesthood.

Joshua or Jason was later replaced by another man, Menelaus, who had promised the king that he would bring in more money than Jason did. When Yochanan, the former High Priest, protested against the spread of the Hellenists’ influence in the Holy Temple, the ruling High Priest hired murderers to assassinate him.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, a rumor spread that a serious accident had befallen Antiochus. Thinking that he was dead, the people rebelled against Menelaus. The treacherous High Priest fled together with his friends.

Antiochus returned from Egypt enraged by Roman interference with his ambitions. When he heard what had taken place in Jerusalem, he ordered his army to fall upon the Hebrews. Thousands were killed. Antiochus then enacted a series of harsh decrees against the them. Hebraic worship was forbidden; the scrolls of the Law were confiscated and burned. Sabbath rest, circumcision and the dietary laws were prohibited under penalty of death. Even one of the respected elders of that generation, Rabbi Eliezer, a man of 90, was ordered by the servants of Antiochus to eat pork so that others would do the same. When he refused they suggested to him that he pick up the meat to his lips to appear to be eating. But Rabbi Eliezer refused to do even that and was put to death. There were thousands of others who likewise sacrificed their lives. The famous story of Hannah and her seven children happened at that time.

One day the henchmen of Antiochus arrived in the village of Modin where Mattityahu, the old priest, lived. The Syrian officer built an altar in the marketplace of the village and demanded that Mattityahu offer sacrifices to the Greek gods. Mattityahu replied, "I, my sons and my brothers are determined to remain loyal to the covenant which our G‑d made with our ancestors!"

Thereupon, a Hellenistic Jew approached the altar to offer a sacrifice. Mattityahu grabbed his sword and killed him, and his sons and friends fell upon the Syrian officers and men. They killed many of them and chased the rest away. They then destroyed the altar. Mattityahu, therefore, left the village of Modin and fled together with his sons and friends to the hills of Judea.

All loyal and courageous Hebrews joined them. They formed legions and from time to time they left their hiding places to fall upon enemy detachments and outposts, and to destroy the pagan altars that were built by order of Antiochus. Before his death, Mattityahu called his sons together and urged them to continue to fight in defense of GOd’s Torah. He asked them to follow the counsel of their brother Shimon the Wise. In waging warfare, he said, their leader should be Judah the Strong. Judah was called "Maccabee," a word composed of the initial letters of the four Hebrew words Mi Kamocha Ba’eilim Hashem, "Who is like You, O G‑d."

Now the Maccabees returned to Jerusalem to liberate it. They entered the Temple and cleared it of the idols placed there by the Syrian vandals. Judah and his followers built a new altar, which he dedicated on the twenty-fifth of the month of Kislev, in the year 3622 (139 B.C.E.).

Since the golden Menorah had been stolen by the Syrians, the Maccabees now made one of cheaper metal. When they wanted to light it, they found only a small cruse of pure olive oil bearing the seal of the High Priest Yochanan. It was sufficient to light only for one day. By a miracle of G‑d, it continued to burn for eight days, till new oil was made available. That miracle proved that G‑d had again taken His people under His protection. In memory of this, our sages appointed these eight days for annual thanksgiving and for lighting candles.

Many battles were fought and won by Yahudah Maccabi. His fierceness for the Torah to be restored in practice to the Hebrews, was likened to a roaring Lion. This is the fierce love for The Most High. Judea was again free, and all parts captured by the neighboring nation had been recovered. Celebrations and festivity transformed Jerusalem and the Holy Temple, hardly half a year after the victories over the Syrian armies. The Hebrew people expressed their joy and gratitude to G‑d in the form of psalms and offerings. For He had restored glory and liberty to the Hebrew land.

The Dedication Of lights has a story behind it and a real story. That is biblical and not the traditions of mankind. That are not found by name in the bible but traditions of other nation’s pagan gods. Against all odds one family chose to fight rather than choose to assimilate to foreign customs and worship. They fought to rededicate fallen Israel back to its God. Rather than die physically than spiritually. They won because of the favor of The Most High. In this season, we dedicate this temple to our God and celebrated victory over the great things we have overcome. In the name of Yeshua. Seeking ever His Torah for our well-being and instructions.

Shema Selah, re-dedicate yourself in this season, do not assimilate with the world, walk in the instructions of the King!!

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

Genesis 1

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



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

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

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

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

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

GOD NEEDS A BODY:

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

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

John 5:19; 8:28

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

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

Matthew 18:18-20

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

A FALL SHOOK THE WORLD:

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

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

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

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

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

BUILDING A KINGDOM MENTALITY:

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

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

THE RULERS BECOME THE RULED:

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

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

SAVED, BUT NOT CONVERTED:

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

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

A CHANGE OF MIND:

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

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

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

CHAPTER ONE PRINCIPLES:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Men of Torah Day--Born To Rule, Not To Be Ruled!!

Psalms 115 

We are walking in today:  Men of Torah Day--Born To Rule, Not To Be Ruled!!


The witness today to the word rule-- H4475 memshalah--rule, dominion, realm, rules

Torah:  Genesis 1:16

Prophets: Jeremiah 51:28

Writings:  2 Chronicles 20:6; Psalms 136:8-9, Psalm 89:9

Psalms 115:14-16
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

RULING THE VISIBLE WORLD FROM THE INVISIBLE REALM:

God’s original purpose and intent was to rule that which is seen (the visible world) through that which is unseen (the invisible world). He would do this through the unseen (the Spirit of God in man), living in the unseen (spirit of man) and living in the seen (the physical body) on the scene (the earth). The plan meant that man would be His visible representative created specifically to live in the visible realm to represent Him.

By this means God could communicate from the unseen realm through the unseen spirit man to the seen realm, so that the visible world of man could understand His will. Whatever God desired would be relayed to the unseen, then manifested in the seen on the scene so that the earth would show what heaven was thinking.

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Col. 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

KING OF THE INVISIBLE AND VISIBLE WORLDS:

A king cannot be a king unless he has something to rule over. It is impossible to be a king over nothing. Before anything else was, God was. Yet, in the strictest sense of the word, God was not a king until He created a realm over which to rule.

In creating Adam a physical dirt body with the spirit of the Most High within it. Gave the Imperial rights to kingship over Earth. Already Lord of lords and King of Kings to the universe as well as master and creator of all things in Earth.

Yet once again a king cannot rule what is not owned. The Heaven’s is the Lord’s and the Earth belongs unto men. So as Adams right to be ruler over Earth and fell due rebellion and disobedience to the commandments of the Most High. Adam lost his rulership over Earth. Along with the spirit of the Most High within him to rule and have rights to rule over the Earth.

The Most High knew legally to be king you had to have rulership. So the plan of salvation was for the Most High, in the form of Yeshua. Came to redeem the world once again to have rulership and kingship over the Earth. By the promise of the Ruach HaKodesh placed inside of man. To redeem mankind back to the original plan of the most high to kingship over the Earth.

Revelations 4:11 Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.

Psalms 8:4-6
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

THE KING AND HIS DOMAIN:

Whatever a king rules over is called his domain. Without a domain, the title “king” has little meaning and carries little weight. There can be no president without a country no prime minister without a nation; every ruler must have a realm to rule.
The word kingdom is derived from the words “king” and “domain.” A kingdom is the “king domain,” the realm over which the king rules with complete sovereignty. God’s “king domain” includes both the seen and unseen.

Matthew 6:9-10
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

MAN WAS CREATED FOR DOMINION:

As we see in the scriptures that the Most High created us in His image and in his likeness. In His Image we look like Him. I’m in his likeness we act like Him. Or at least should because this is what we profess correct? So as we look like Him and act like Him in his authority and Dominion overall things created seen and unseen. Then should we not have the same dominion and likeness power and authority as our creator? As He spoke over us to be.

Elohim chose from the very beginning to exercise His kingly authority on earth through human envoys created in His image to rule the earth in His name as His representatives. Adonai created man because He desired someone to rule over the physical realm He had created.

Psalms 115:15-17

May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth He has given to man.

A KINGDOM OF KINGS

It was not Abba’s original design that any man would rule other human beings. He created all of us to rule, not to be ruled. In accordance with His own plan, Abba needed someone to dominate a piece of real estate called earth. Understanding that we were created for dominion carries truly life-changing ramifications.

Trapped inside every one of us is a dominion spirit crying for release and a dominion mandate waiting to be exercised. It is this natural spirit of dominion that causes us to naturally rebel against any attempt to dominate or control our lives or destiny. We are all the same —we were not created to be dominated but to dominate in every area of our life.

GOD’S “MANAGEMENT CONTRACT” WITH MAN At creation:

God gave man dominion over the entire physical realm, making him the de facto king of the earth. To dominate means “to govern, rule, control, manage, lead, or have authority over something.” There is a very important distinction here. Elohim gave us rulership of the earth, not ownership.

Someone who gives up ownership to another person also surrenders all responsibility for it. The person who assigns the position of rulership of a place but retains ownership, will retain the ultimate responsibility.

That is why God set up a qualification from the start. He told Adam, “As long as you obey Me and do not eat the fruit of the tree at the center of the garden, you can manage this planet all you want, for as long as you want; it’s yours”.


Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Abba owns the earth, but He gave it to us to manage under a lease agreement that we could call a dominion mandate. Under this mandate we must give to Elyon, the owner, an accounting of what we do with that which He has entrusted to us. He will judge us according to how well we manage His assets.

BORN TO RULE, NOT TO BE RULED:

We were born to rule the earth—all of us. When we do not become who we were meant to be or fulfill our destiny, we open the door to a whole world of personal problems. Allowing ourselves to be dominated by our physical environment or by other people can result in things like high blood pressure and other physical problems and illnesses. It can even open the door to mental and emotional troubles.

Believers often talk about going to heaven when they die. Although that is true, Abba has made arrangements to make sure that we don’t stay there. If we stayed in heaven, God’s Word would fail, because He has plainly stated that He created us to have dominion over the earth. His Word can never fail:

If the Most High says He created us to exercise dominion over the earth, then clearly we cannot stay in heaven. Adonai’s purpose for us has always been that we dominate the earth. Our tendency in the Church is to over-focus on heaven.

Psalm 115:14-16
May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth He has given to man.

Isaiah 55:10-11
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Shema Selah Fiveanprayer there is a king in you that is the Most High;s original intent!!

Weekend Meditation--Vision versus Sight!!

Proverbs 4

We are walking today:  Weekend Meditation--Vision versus Sight!!

This eagle looked at me and I shot him with my camera. Isn’t that a beautiful shot? The first thing you think about an eagle is vision because vision is what makes the eagle the king of birds. An eagle has the capacity to see from 5 miles up in the sky in detail. That’s what makes him the most powerful bird, his eyesight. The power of vision and when you think of vision one of the most important thing as we deal with this subject is that vision is the key to your life having meaning. So we are going to talk about understanding the nature and the necessity for personal and conquered vision. This ministry is a result of vision. It is a result of one persons vision. In order for this ministry to be a leading ministry there must be a clear image of vision that breaks the barrier of limited thinking. Vision itself has the nature of destroying barriers. As a matter of fact vision itself demands the destruction of barriers.
Because vision is the capacity to see beyond the barriers. The 21st century is a century that demands visionary leadership. Not only in the church but in government, civic, educational institutions and also in the home because if you have a home headed by a leader, a father or a mother if you’re a
single parent who don’t have a vision for that family, that family will be bogged down in depression. Proverbs 4:7 says a simple statement. It says Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom and if it costs you all you have, get understanding. There are 3 words that are normally linked together and that is Wisdom, knowledge and understanding. But most people don’t understand what they are and how they work. So let me give you a quick understanding of the 3 concepts that made Solomon such and impact and influential leader. He understood the difference between the three.
First of all knowledge is information. Write that down. Understanding is comprehension. But wisdom is application. That's why wisdom is supreme. Because you can know something but not understand it and you can understand something and not apply it. So nothing is complete until it becomes wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge understood and applied. That is why wisdom is more important than knowledge. Because a smoking doctor is a sign of someone who has knowledge but no wisdom. You
can have knowledge and kill yourself, destroy yourself because you’re not applying it. This ministry has been teaching great studies for years and some of you have not changed because you never took the revelation to wisdom. You get information everyday, you get a great teaching, you say amen, you say that was a great teaching but it doesn’t affect your life, your family, it doesn’t affect your business, your ideas, your children because you never made it wisdom. Notice the bible says Christ is
the wisdom of God. He is God applied. See God can say I love you but then you still live in the realm of death. So he applied it. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son. He applied, it became wisdom so Christ is known to us as the wisdom of God. So it’s important to get the teaching, listen to it 7 times, why?

Because you want that information to become wisdom. This has to become wisdom to you otherwise it won’t happen in your life. That's why I read so many books a month. Read 4 books a month. I have to and I’ve constantly got to listen to tapes and CD’s says Dr. Myles Monroe because I have to keep being what I am teaching. It is very important. So knowledge is the key to success when you get knowledge applied. I say this to you now but you cannot receive, it the audience determines the teacher isn't that amazing very interesting in other words the teacher has a lot of information it's the student that determines what he teaches.

Let me say it again Yeshua said I have much to say to you now so your level of hunger determines the level of food that you are fed. That means I've got to come back, praise God!!

Let's talk about this power of visionary leadership for this ministry and for you individually. The nature and principles of vision in leadership. How vision works. Eagles are the most amazing birds Eagles never flock Only pigeons flock and that is why Eagles are leaders. Leaders do not keep a lot of company and no bird flies higher than an eagle do you know why because the eagle has the capacity to set it's bones in its wings and it rides the current in the sky and the Eagle flies into
hurricanes. They fly into storms. Why? They use storms to push them higher. That’s why they are eagles. That’s why they are kings of the birds. True leaders are not afraid of problems. They use them to get higher. When an eagle is at his height in flight it never meets another bird, except an eagle. Because only eagles can fly at that altitude.

Therefore if you keep running into pigeons you are flying too low. You can tell where you are at in life by who you keep meeting. Gossiping people, murmuring people, complaining people always finding fault. You are in the wrong altitude. You can tell where you are flying by who you
keep attracting. That is why Yeshua knew he was stuck with his family but he could choose his friends. So he selected his friends based on his vision. He chose his associations based on his destination. God will allow you to meet certain people because he wants to bring you to a higher
level. That is why I am here because there is a level that you want to go to that requires some other birds. If you are going to fly at a certain level, you have to meet people at that level so they can bring you up to that level and some of you God wants to do great things in your life but you won’t leave the pack. Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Eagles don’t fly with other birds. Eagles don’t like to mix. When you are a leader you are not comfortable with people who don’t dream big. You are not comfortable with complainers, critics, slanderers. This is why the bible says that if you are going to be great, you cannot keep company with people who are not great. Solomon says if you keep company with people who are not great, you will not be great yourself.

So choose your friends based on your destination. A couple things about the eagle that makes him unique, this is important information for leadership development even in your personal life,

1. The greatest gift God ever gave man is not the gift of sight but the gift of vision. Why? Because sight is the function of the eyes but vision is the function of the heart. As a matter of fact God never intended for you to live by your eyes. Your eyes are the enemy of your vision. Why? Because sight is
limited to the capacity of the eyes. But vision is limited only to the boundary of your imagination. That is why the bible says you must walk by faith and not by sight. Sight is dangerous. I have come to teach you how to live with your eyes closed. Your problem is your eyes because your eyes always shows you what is. But vision always shows you what could be. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and it’s evidence of things your eyes cannot see.

2. Sight restricts you to the present but vision releases you to the uncharted frontiers of the future. This ministry must be careful not to be so excited about it’s past. Because your past can become your victim and you become a victim of it. We become to attached to the good ole days, we don’t create new ones.

3. Sight captures the present but vision captures the future. You were not born to live in the past and be stuck in the present. Because sight deals with what is, but vision embraces what could be. That is why vision is so important. God always wants us to live according to the vision in our hearts not the sight in our eyes.

What is vision?
Vision is the capacity to see farther than your eyes can look.

Vision is the greatest source of hope. You were born to see beyond your eyes. When you get around people with wisdom, I learned a long time ago to ask a lot of questions. You don’t talk a lot, You ask
questions because questions are the greatest way to be educated. One thing you need to know is you need to grow where you are planted.

The reason some people won’t grow spiritually is because they don’t stay long enough in any ministry. Some of you are moving around still, testing ministries. That’s why God can’t grow you up. Grow where he plants you. Stay there and grow. Another lesson, look down and be depressed. Look around and be oppressed. Look up and be at rest.

Live according to your vision. Not according to your eyes. You must believe in the dark what he told you in the light. There are some things God showed you years ago and they have been smothered by the night of disappointment. God has sent me in your life today to tell you to still believe what I told you. See beyond your eyes. Leadership requires that you see beyond your eyes. as a ministry and as a individual. 

1. Leadership is the impact of one’s pursuit of a vision more noble than self preservation on others. You have to find something to do that is more important than your own life preservation. The reason why most people don’t make a difference in the world is because they are too busy trying to make a living. Self preservation is what I call making a living. You work to earn a salary so you can take care of your life but Christ said if a man saves his life, he shall lose it, but if a man lose his life for the sake of kingdom assignment he shall gain life. That means they will never be able to forget you. You were born to live in such a way that you don’t need a tombstone. The reason why we need tombstones is because people live such mediocrity in their lives that if they were to die, we would never know that they were here.

2. Visionary leadership is the ability to cause others to see a vision of the future bigger than their private ambitions. This ministry will never succeed if it keeps competing with your private ambitions. Leadership is the capacity to make a vision everybody’s vision. That is why the average person does not make an impact on the world, because they are so consumed by their own private interests, they have no interest in the next generation. This ministry was not raised up just for you. It was raised up for your unborn great-grandchildren. The new buildings aren’t for you, you may never be in them but you’ve got to build them. You need a vision bigger than your own private ambition. Do something important, not just something personal. Sometimes we live to pay off our mortgages instead of living to make a difference.

3. Visionary leadership motivates others to submit their energies and skills in a corporate commitment to achieving a noble vision. This ministry was raised up by God with a noble vision. How do you know whether a vision is from God or not from God? Any vision that only benefits you is not from God. Any vision that improves humanity, advances your community, and improves other people is from God. So if your vision is to have a nice house and a nice car with a boat near the ocean, that’s not from God. Why? That’s personal ambition. Yeshua said I didn’t come to be served, but to serve and give my life as a ransom for many. Your vision should always improve the many.

4. Leadership is the power of influence through character impact. The word character is from a Hebrew word that means statue. It means fixed and predictable. Does a statue change? No. He still has the same face, stance, clothes in the winter, spring, summer and fall. It doesn’t change. That is why a statue is called character. When you have character that means someone has beaten you into a shape.

Somebody took a chisel, his name is God and he beat you and beat you and you thought he was killing you but he was getting rid of things that will hide your perfect image. Can a sculptor sculpt an image if the image keeps moving? That is why God keeps beating you because you won’t stay still long enough for him to give you character. The pressure you are going through right now in your life, Don’t Move! Stand still and see the salvation of God. He is going to bring you through this and you
are going to come out with more CHARACTER! How can you tell what a man is doing even when you don’t see him? Because he has character. Character is proven when people can predict what you would do in your absence. Leaders have been beaten. That is why you are on your way to leadership. What you are going through is God's classroom to make you a great person. Running from tribulation is the hardest way to have character.


For you to have vision you must understand the source of vision. The source of vision is inspiration.

The source of inspiration is passion
The source of passion is purpose
The source of purpose is divine impartation.
The source of divine impartation is the reason for creation (God's motivation is the source for divine impartation)


Your life was not created for you to just go to a job and pay bills. There is something God wanted done that made you necessary. As a matter of fact I have been convinced over the years the greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a purpose. It is more tragic to be alive and not know why, than to be dead and not know life. What a tragedy to wake up every morning, sit in the same car, get stuck in the same traffic, go to the same place that you hate, work with people you can’t stand, get paid far less than you’re worth, do things that don’t bring out your gifts, go back home to a place you call home, turn the TV on and watch sports, go to bed and get stuck in traffic the next morning again, going to the same place you don’t like, doing something you don’t want to do, getting paid far less than you’re worth, and make you go until you are 65 and then they make you go and rock in a rocking chair. What a tragedy. And you call that life. I call it waste. You were born to fulfill an assignment, you were born to contribute to the world before you die. You were born to bring a difference to your generation, you were born to deliver something to us and God he divinely imparted that gift to you. You came to earth because there is something that is created for you to do, that’s waiting for you to do it. That is why you are not happy on your job, you’re not happy because you are doing something that you weren’t born to do. Your vision will always disturb your sight. Purpose will always make your job uncomfortable. Inside of you is your purpose screaming and you are on a job and it’s making your job uncomfortable because what you were born to do it, always comes against what you are doing unless you are doing it. You are not a mistake. You are a divine deposit on planet
earth. Not brought here just to pay a mortgage off. The source of divine impartation is the inspiration you get from purpose. The greatest tragedy in life is to live without purpose. Proverbs 19:21 NIV
version says Many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that will prevail over all of his plans. This verse is powerful. Let me tell you what it means from the Hebrew language. It means you have many ideas and plans for your own life, what you want to do, where you want to go, who you want to marry, what kind of career you want, what you want to invest in, what you want to build, even your ministry.

You’ve got all these plans for your life he says, but he says I’ve already got a purpose for your life. And then he says my purpose will prevail over all of your plans. This means 3 things.

Purpose is more important than plans.
Purpose is more powerful than plans.
Purpose precedes plans.

God says I don’t care what you plan, my purpose will prevail over all of your plans. That means you will never be happy, never be satisfied until you are doing what I purposed for your birth. Purpose therefore will make you uncomfortable until you find it. If purpose is more important than anything in your life to God then it’s more important for you to know purpose than to know plans. In other words God is saying before you make plans for your life, consult me for your purpose. And make your plans according to the purpose I have for your life so that you don’t waste your time. Because see if you make plans that are not God's purpose for your life you are wasting time, energy, resources,
investments, ideas, investment of your character, you are wasting your life. It’s possible to be successfully wrong. Purpose is God’s number 1 desire. What is purpose? Purpose means original intent. Reason for creation, reason for existence, original idea. Purpose is what was the motivation that made a manufacture make a product. The product exists for the purpose made by the manufacturer. God says before you were even born and conceived to make plans I had already an idea for your life. You are not a mistake. God did not create you and decide, what am I going to do with this one? No. He had something already established then he produced you to get it for him. Purpose is the most important thing to God. Purpose means will, original intent. Purpose is the established intent that caused production. Purpose proceeds production. The purpose comes first. Purpose motivates production.  Shema Selah no longer look with your eyes, sight but with your heart vision!!
