The Genius of God's Kingdom

The Genius of God's Kingdom

• Let's start of by looking back at what we've been
  teaching the last 5-6 weeks on
• We spoke on 1.) The Government of God - The Bible
  is about a King, a Kingdom and a royal family of
  children. 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? The Greek word used for
  government literally means to steer, to pilot or
  to act as a rudder. So government is the power
  given for the purpose of making and enforcing
  laws for a certain territory.
• Now the King of Glory has given us authority
  through inheritance and we now have received
  authority to rule with Christ having the mandate
  of enforcing the governance of the kingdom of God
  upon the earth.
• Satan is no longer in control - 2000 years ago
  the church arrived as Christ's occupying
  government enforcing His victory over every
  power and principality in the heaven's.

2

• This is the time and the season when God is
  establishing His new governance over Satan
  through the church. And I believe that now is the
  time for the church to rise up in establishing
  Kingdom dominion or enforcing Kingdom governance.
  
• God's original purpose and plan is still the
  same. And it is to extend His rule and government
  over the enemy and the darkness that satan brings
  over creation. And God wants to do it through you
  and me.
• Then we spoke on 2.) Kings Priests and the
  Kingdom. See the purpose and plan is to reverse
  and destroy the works of Satan and fully restore
  Godly rule and governance through his church.
• To establish this we are called to rule and
  govern as kings in this world as well as to
  fulfill a priestly role. We saw in Dan 79-14 the
  vision Daniel had where there is thousands upon
  thousands of thrones before the Ancient of days.
  Kings seated on thrones but also attending to the
  King the King of kings rulers taking care of
  the Ruler.
• Daniel saw in his vision 500 years prior to the
  birth of Jesus how satan was judged, his power
  destroyed, and his body 'thrown into the blazing
  fire.' What this means for us is that all the
  power and authority of satan has been broken.
  Satan has already been judged.

3

• And as we move into our roles as kings and
  priests we stand in judgement of satan
  enforcing Daniels vision upon all powers and
  principalities of darkness. We are seated in
  heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Efes 26) having
  dominion over creation and all forces of
  darkness.
• This is why we do not have to surrender to defeat
  or despair or helplessness in our daily lives. We
  are among those seated at the right hand of God
  seated in heavenly places seated in judgement
  over satan with the King of glory.
• Dan 727 'And the kingdom and dominion, and the
  greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,
  shall be given to the people of the saints of the
  most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting
  kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey
  him'
• Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead
  not so much to take us to heaven as to bring us
  back into possession of the Kingdom we lost. When
  Jesus restored the Kingdom to us, He did not give
  us a pretty facade with nothing inside. He gave
  us power power to break through!
• Then we spoke on the theme 3.) Enter the King
  and the Kingdom. Ref(Story When our president
  is scheduled to visit any specific place

4

• there is a lot of commotion before he arrives at
  his destination. We see hightened security cars
  that are searched ext. When u would stop to ask
  the police officer why this tightened security?
  The answer will be 'We are preparing for the
  coming of the President' )?
• The Principle Whenever a sovereign is to arrive,
  it is announced and preparations are made far in
  advance. See we are to be ambassador's to this
  Kingdom. This is not a religious designation, but
  a governmental one. And our purpose as
  ambassador's would be to announce and prepare for
  the Sovereign of the Kingdom to arrive.
• God's chosen strategy for proclaiming His Kingdom
  was to employ ambassador's. An ambassador is a
  political appointee whose job is to represent and
  speak for his or her home government.
• 2Co 520 'Here we are then, speaking for Christ,
  as though God himself were making his appeal
  through us'
• We need to once more announce that preparation
  has to be made for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
  Our purpose then is to prepare the way for the
  the King and his Kingdom to be seen and
  experienced by people everywhere.
• So we speak not our own opinion but we speak the
  policies of the Kingdom.

5

• And then angles are moved in the heavenlies by
  the Word we speak Satan and his demons all
  pricipalities are moved by the Word we speak
  Creation and every created creature are moved by
  the spoken Word of God Sickness every
  Infirmary Lack Poverty and have-not Even death
  itself will be moved by the Word of God we speak.
  
• Then we spend time on 4.) The Priority of the
  Kingdom. We asked How important is the Kingdom of
  God? We said it is so important that our lives
  depend on it. God's every action and activity is
  motivated by His desire and passion to see His
  Kingdom established on the earth.
• And the way God chose to do this was through
  humanity.
• See Jesus was the Son of God but he took upon
  himself flesh and he tabernacled among us. And in
  his humanity He had no inherent advantages over
  us.
• Many tend to assume that because He was the Son
  of God in the flesh, Jesus was better equipped
  than we are. This is not so. He had a physical
  body that got tired and knew pain. He needed
  regular rest just as we do. He got hungry and
  needed food, and thirsty and needed drink. He
  faced the same temptations, yet never fell into
  sin. He operated under the same power of the Holy
  Spirit that He later gave to us.

6

• What does this mean to us? We have the same
  authority on earth. In Christ, we are
  authoritative on earth because we are human, just
  as Jesus was.
• Jesus came to show us who we really are and to
  expose the enemy's false kingdom. And now God is
  waiting on us to move into or to receive this
  Kingdom.
• Rom 818-19 'I am of the opinion that there is no
  comparison between the pain of this present time
  and the glory which we will see in the
  future/that is about to be reveald. For the
  strong desire of every living thing is waiting
  for the revelation of the sons of God'
• The choice is ours. It is a matter of maturing
  our Kingdom mentality, of learning to think,
  talk, and act like the royalty we are rather than
  like the slaves the devil has told us we are.
• We need to arise and exercise our God given
  authority, and reclaim conquered territory that
  satan has stolen from us. It's all about taking
  the war right into the enemy's camp.
• Then we spend time on 5.) Gods original intent.
  See God is challenging us to look at our
  responsibility as both priests and kings to
  influence our world rather than to escape it.

7

• Kingdom is not religion. Its the influence of a
  government over a domain or a territory. Its the
  impact of a king over a territory. Thats why
  its called a king-dom it's all about a
  kings domain.
• Miracles, signs and wonders are supposed to show
  that another government, another authority,
  another power, another Kingdom is present. Just
  like any government impacts the land over which
  it rules, so will the Kingdom of God impact the
  world when we begin to appropriate its authority
  and power.
• The Bible doesnt view the broken human condition
  as normal or as something that God did. It views
  it as the symptom of a world occupied with
  evil/illegitimate supernatural rulers. God's
  original intent is to have and exercise dominion
  over all wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly
  world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers
  of this dark age. (see Efes 612)?
• See the purpose and plan is to reverse and
  destroy the works of Satan and fully restore
  Godly rule and governance through his church.
• But then we need to understand that the spiritual
  world is more real than the natural. We are not
  natural having a spiritual experience but we are
  spirit having a natural experience.

8

• In other words the principle is that the
  invisible produced the visible. The physical
  world reflects the spiritual world from which it
  came. And whatever we see in the physical world
  has a corresponding greater reality in the
  spiritual.
• See God's purpose for creating the visible was to
  establish His invisible Kingdom in it. For this
  reason He created man with the capacity to
  communicate with both the spiritual and the
  physical realm.
• God created us as spiritual beings and put on us
  physical bodies placed us in a visible world and
  gave the order 'go and have dominion over this
  created world' (Gen 126). In this way, God
  planned for us to rule and exercise control over
  the earth in His name.
• God created in a way that we are connected and
  interdependent on each other. God created the sky
  and said that there would be birds in it. Take
  away the birds and you will still have sky but
  take away the sky and the birds would have
  nothing to do.
• In the same way the physical world and the
  Kingdom is interconnected and interdependent upon
  each other. There is a relationship between
  heaven and earth that is working right now.

• Mat 1619 'And I will give unto thee the keys of
  the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt
  bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and
  whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
  loosed in heaven'
• In Rev 81-5 we read that the prayers of the
  saints will ascended up before God and that the
  angel of the Lord will fill the censer with these
  prayers, and with fire of the altar, and cast it
  again into the earth.
• And now God has put a word in your mouth that'll
  ascended up before God and which the angel of
  God will fill with fire from the altar of God,
  and then cast it back into the earth again.
• So there is a key to the kingdom that is laid in
  your mouth that'll become a seed in your mouth
  a seed sown into heavenly dimentions that'll
  produce a harvest in the land. That'll produse a
  harvest in the territory that'll produce a
  harvest in the Kings domain for you.
• In the beginning God created the heaven and the
  earth. That is saying that there did not have to
  be a earth for a heaven to be created but there
  had to be a heaven first before the earth was
  created.
• So the order is that kingdom is a higher level
  than the natural. The heaven is greater than the
  earth. The spriritual first then the earth.

10

• It is saying that what happens in the heavens
  effects the earth. See the heavens shift before
  the earth does. God has given us the keys to the
  kingdom and he has laid it like fire from the
  altar of heaven in our mouths.
• Now Ref Rev 37-13
• Sardis was the dead church. The church with no
  revelation and no power. The church of
  Philadelphia refers to the end time church. It is
  the church of the breakthrough the church of the
  supernatural the church of the heavenly
  dimensions the church of reformation the church
  of the visitation the church of the first born.
• Heb 1222-23 'But ye are come unto mount Sion,
  and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly
  Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
  angels, To the general assembly and church of the
  firstborn, which are written in heaven'
• And to this church of the first born is given the
  key of David. Used twice in Scripture (Isa 2222
  Rev 37), the phrase Key of David refers to
  possessing legitimate authority.
• We are this end time church the church of the
  first born and the time has come to use the key
  and posses our legitimate authority.

11

• Now the prophet Isaiah referred to an individual
  of his time named Shebna who had charge of the
  palace of the Judean king. The prophet Isaiah
  said the Lord would replace Shebna with a man
  named Eliakim. And the Lord would "place on his
  shoulder the key to the house of David what he
  opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one
  can open" (Isaiah 2222).
• Thus, Eliakim would be a kind of gatekeeper with
  power to control entry into the kingdom. John
  used this Old Testament metaphor to get across a
  vital message to the church. That is, Christ has
  given the church the key of David to open the
  door for us into the presence of the King Christ
  has given us the key to open the door for us into
  the possessing of the kingdom of heaven.
• For unto this 'church of the first born' is given
  the key of the gatekeeper to open up new
  spiritual dimensions upon this earth to lead us
  into Kingdom dominion and apostolic breakthrough.
• Again God is rebuilding the 'house of David'
  which is song dance praise and worship. See
  there is a key that is given to open up the
  kingdom of heaven and it is the new song that is
  laid in your mouth that'll ascended up before
  God and which the angel of God will fill with
  fire from the altar of God, and then cast back
  into the earth again.

12

• Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and
  no man can shut it (Rev 38) You have come to an
  open heaven the city of the living God the
  heavenly Jerusalem thousands upon thousands of
  angels the joyful gathering of God's first-born
  a place of no limit's no boundries increase all
  around breakthrough release and an enlarged
  territor.
• Rev 312 'I'll make each conqueror a pillar in
  the sanctuary of my God, a permanent position of
  honor. Then I'll write names on you, the pillars
  the Name of my God, the Name of God's City--the
  new Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven--and my
  new Name'
• And see for those who receive who perceive who
  discern with the spiritual and not with the
  natural for those who conquer those who take up
  their dominion those who exercise their
  authority for those who will rise up in
  judgement against satan those who will take back
  that which was stolen for those who conquer or
  overturn satan's illegitimate rule ...
• They will have a permanent position of honor in
  the presence of the King. They will stand like a
  pillar in the house of our God. And they will
  have the names of God laid upon them The names
  of God that'll shout out Provided For Healing
  Peace Forgiven Redeemed Sanctified Holy Set
  apart More than enough ...

13

• They will have laid upon them the name of the
  city of our God the the new Jerusalem coming
  down out of Heaven they will have laid upon them
  the kingdom coming down upon them they will see
  the manifestation of the prophetic among them. No
  more waiting for some day in the sweet bye and
  bye with a pie in the sky. They will see heaven
  move and poured out into earth.
• This is the church of the breakthrough the
  church of the super on the natural the church of
  the heavenly dimensions the church of the
  reformation the church of the visitation the
  church of the first born.
• This is the church that is given the key of the
  gatekeeper to open up new spiritual dimensions
  upon this earth to lead us into Kingdom dominion
  and apostolic breakthrough.
• And to those conquerers will be given His new
  Name Hephzibah
• Isa 622-4 ... You will be called by a new name,
  A name given by the LORD himself. You will be
  like a beautiful crown for the LORD. No longer
  will you be called "Forsaken," Or your land be
  called "The Deserted Wife." Your new name will be
  Hephzibah "God Is Pleased with Her." Your land
  will be called "Happily Married," Because the
  LORD is pleased with you And will be like a
  husband to your land to your territoty to your
  domain.
