The Kingdom of God!
Chapter 4
Last week I
wrote the following,
Psalm 100:4 says,
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with
praise; give thanks
to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations."
God operates according to the rule of law! His decrees and
His promises, He will not violate, but He watches over His Word to perform it,
or cause it to come to pass. He said in Jer. 1:12,
"You have seen well: for I will hasten my word to perform
it."
Numbers 23:19 says,
"God is not a man, that he
should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not
do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? "
Our great nation was set up to be a nation ruled by law.
Without going into the proof that Jerimiah set up the rule of law when he was
in England, allow me to say that he did this even before Jesus came on the
scene. Our nations constitution and judicial system mirrors that of heavens in
a lot of ways. Our forefathers were led by the Spirit of the Lord how to set up
our constitution and our rule of law!
We have been given the right to
enter boldly before God in the Court of Grace. The blood of Jesus shed on the
cross gave us this right. Heb. 4:15-16 says,
"For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted
in every way, just as we are; yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with
confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our
time of need."
You can go before the Court of Grace and submit your praise and
petitions to the Lord. This is the greatest privilege we have as Christians;
however, I must warn you that if you have not forgiven someone, God will not
forgive you! Jesus said in Mark 11:
25-26,
"And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have something against
anyone so that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your
trespasses. But
if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive
your trespasses.
This is the reason why so many of your prayers are not
answered! This statement by Jesus is a decree that states what we must do to
have our prayers fulfilled. This is why it is so important for us to learn to
forgive those who trespass against us!
When we come before the Court of Grace, we must genuinely
repent of our sins and even those we are not aware of and then the blood of
Jesus will cleanse us and we can stand before our Father, pure and holy in His
sight! This insures us that Satan will not have any grounds to oppose our
request before our Father.
Last week I also shared with you about the angel that stood
before George Washington at Valley Forge and gave him a vision from our Father.
This nation has a dark cloud over it at this time. The angel that appeared to
George Washington showed him a vision of this dark cloud.
George said, "I heard again the mysterious voice saying,
"Son of the Republic, look and learn"
When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed
his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast. Instantly
a light of a thousand suns shone down from above me and pierced and broke into
fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel
upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in
one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by
legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America,
who I perceived were well exhausted and near overcome, but who immediately
taking courage again, close up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.
Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice
saying,
"Son of the Republic, look and learn." As the voice ceased,
the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled
it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies
it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
It is very clear that when all seems lost in this Third
Great Peril, that heaven intervenes on behalf of an exhausted people while
saving a great nation.
It is clear that the Trump will sound with the help of
heaven. The media mocked and ridiculed Donald Trump and his 'deplorable'
followers. Every day the fake media has been relentless and predictable. Every
day, the prejudiced commentators reported the same boring commentary. "He
doesn't have a chance" and "The poles all indicate a Democratic landslide on
election day!" Listening to them you would have got the impression that the
election was already over and Hillary Clinton would be the next President of
the United States.
However, God intervened and against all odds, Donald J.
Trump was elected President of the United States of America!
According to the vision, America's greatest days are ahead.
We will not fall to Satan and Jezebel and their followers. There are still
battles ahead of us like abortion, gay marriage, pedophilia, and sex
trafficking. Nevertheless, by God's grace and help, we will prevail, and
America will remain the greatest nation on the planet.
Psalm 33:12 says,
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and
the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance."
The Lord said in Hab. 2:14,
"For the earth shall be
filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters
cover the sea."
Isaiah said in Isaiah 60:1-3,
"Arise, shine; for your
light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but
the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the
brightness of your rising."
Peter said in Acts 3:21,
"God shall send Jesus
Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God has
spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."
Heaven will keep Jesus until the times of
restitution of all things has come.
When we read these scriptures
together, we understand that one day the whole earth will know; be fully aware
and have access to the truth; not just that Jesus saves, but all of the other
aspects of His Glory, His goodness, His kindness, and love! The whole world
will know of the glory or beauty and splendor of His ways in every sphere of
society!
Isaiah makes it clear that He is
not taking us out of here but is anointing us to be the multidimensional
expression of the glory (presence of the Lord in our lives) and the goodness of
our Lord! As I said before, we will shine in the media, in education, in the
government, in arts and entertainment, our economy, our family life, as well as
in our Churches!
There will be so much light on us
that nations will be transformed and the leaders of nations will be sustained
by the bright light that we carry and function even in the midst of darkness.
Paul said in Rom. 8:9,
"But as it is written, Eye has
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God has prepared for them that love him."
I pray for you the same prayer
the great Apostle Paul prayed in Col. 1:9-14,
"I ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all
the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live
a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every
good work, growing in the
knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his
glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving
joyful thanks to the Father, who
has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom
of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins."
