Kingdom Separation

Every kingdom government, including the Kingdom of God, consists of four elements: The ruler, the laws of that rule, the place of that rule, and the ruled. God is the ruler, and love is the law of that rule. Our human body is the place and person ruled. The manifestation or expression of God’s power from within us is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 6:10 & Luke 17:20-21). Suppose we pursue the kingdom as a religious concept or the king outside a kingdom government concept. In that case, we no longer follow the teachings of Jesus of the Bible and have begun to follow the teachings of another Jesus. He brought us a kingdom government and taught us about it (Isaiah 9:6-7 & Daniel 2:44). As we come under the authority of this kingdom, God will release us into its power and provision (Matthew 6:31-33 & Mark 9:1). God is not legally required to release either power or provision because of our religious experiences.

Matthew 6:10 KJV (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Luke 17:20-21 KJV (20) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV (6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (7) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Daniel 2:44 KJV (44) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Matthew 6:31-33 KJV (31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (32) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. (33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mark 9:1 KJV (1) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

God has every right to exercise His rule because He created every one of us and gave us a new birth with the spirit of Christ indwelling us as our spirit (Galatians 2:20). God had taken the human spirit, placed it on the cross in Jesus, where it suffered death, and replaced our human spirit with the spirit of Christ (Romans 6:6). When God imparted the spirit of Christ into us, as our spirit, we became one with Him and, from that point onward, spiritually unable to sin (1 John 3:9).

Galatians 2:20 KJV (20) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Romans 6:6 KJV (6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 1 John 3:9 KJV (9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

However, God must renew our soul (mind, will, and emotions) until He has transformed them into obedience to the likeness and will of God (Romans 12:2). We must put on the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). This process is called salvation and must be known, accepted, and acted upon until the transformation of every thought is subject to God.

Romans 12:2 KJV (2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1 Corinthians 2:16 KJV (16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Jesus told His disciples they had asked Him for what they needed up to this time. But, after His return to heaven, they should ask the Father in His name (John 16:23). Acting as our high priest, He would bring our professions to pass because making them a reality to us would bring glory to the Father and fill us with joy (Hebrews 3:1 & John 16:24). Jesus showed us the proper order used in the Kingdom of God after He had turned rule of the kingdom over to the Father (1 Corinthians 15:24 & 28) and now assumed the duties of a prince and high priest (Revelation 1:5).

John 16:23 KJV (23) And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hebrews 3:1 KJV (1) Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; John 16:24 KJV (24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 1 Corinthians 15:24 KJV (24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1 Corinthians 15:28 KJV (28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. Revelation 1:5 KJV (5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Father, in the name of Jesus the Christ, I ask you to make this new birth a reality in my life and begin the transformation of my mind into the mind of Christ. I confess and agree that I am your child and will accept no other identity, especially a religious one. I break all religious ties, obligations, and oaths and boldly affiliate my life with Jesus before all mankind. Help me to stand fearlessly and boldly before all the wiles of Satan and declare truth to the world. Reveal all religious plans and schemes the devil is promoting and your methods to destroy those works. Teach me the ways of the kingdom, and I will repent and come into agreement with you. I will make these professions daily until God has transformed me, knowing that Jesus, my high priest, has agreed to bring them to pass. Amen.
