Sons Of God Rising: Eternal Kingdom Requirements For Royalty (Ep 3)

In my initial 40+ years of American church experiences, I had never one time heard anything about one of the most critical principles in the Bible. As I’ve mentioned before, my country was founded on the principle of independence which, to a certain extent, was good. The problem however is that, after 250 years, that character trait has grown into something that is now completely at odds with the mandatory Biblical characteristics as found in a kingdom governmental system. Over-independence is a manifestation of pride that leads to treason and from my experience, that is what I have seen pervasively in the American church mentality. If what I’m saying is new to you, then you are exactly in the situation I was myself over 10 years ago. We need to discuss loyalty and treason today because without a solid understanding of those terms, you are going to find yourself (as I was myself) dangerously out of order with the eternal kingdom system that Jesus taught all throughout the gospels.

Imposing The American Culture On The Kingdom Of God

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Matthew 21:43-44 (KJV)

Not to overstate the obvious here but, I have been an American my entire life. I have also either lived in, or traveled to a number of foreign countries in my career in the US military. My travels outside of the USA have primarily included western Europe and the Middle East. Those experiences were very eye opening and they began to show me that much of what we take for granted here in the US, is not at all common in many other countries and cultures. Most Americans have not traveled overseas and do not have any other experiences with cultures different from their own. We have, for some odd reasons of presumption, let ourselves believe that our way of life here is 1) perfectly legitimate and 2) fully consistent with the Bible.

In my travels and in my studies of the vast subject of the Kingdom of God, I have found that our American assumptions (or presumptions) are patently false and not founded on Biblical truth. True, my wake up process was not exactly pleasant at times but, I recognized what I was learning was true and that I needed to fix what was out of order in my long-held beliefs. That process of replacing what was wrong with my 40+ years of incorrect church teaching many times caused no shortage of internal arguments and aggravations. I have since birth, had an extremely independent personality which, in some ways served me well but, when I was confronted by this true Kingdom of God teaching, I quickly found out how far off I was in my assumptions about where I stood with God and His eternal system.

What I’m trying to say here is that, I began to see how completely wrong many of my beliefs were and how dangerously far I was off the straight and narrow path. The attitudes I was allowed to hold by my American church teaching had put me firmly on the path to judgment. The worst part of that was that I had NO knowledge whatsoever about how wrong many of my beliefs and attitudes were!

To Change The Mind = To Change The World

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:17 (KJV)

I’m trying to establish a common ground with as many readers as possible by showing you where I was and how much I’ve had to learn (and unlearn) in the past 10 years. Every single time I was confronted with errors in my character and thinking, I had the same choice everyone else has. Either I could refuse to hear what my flesh could not tolerate or I could go through the very difficult process of acknowledging I was wrong and correcting what was out of order with me. Let me say it again, if I did not sufficiently emphasize it already – that was a VERY hard and unpleasant process, which many times, I would have much rather refused!!

If you are among those who are greatly angered by what I’m saying here, be assured that this is only the tip of the iceberg here. I have MUCH more to say but as always, we will save it for another episode in this series (or in other places). What I want you to take away from this so far is that, when you, or others you encounter rise up with angry demonic attitudes against what I’m saying here, now you know what I mean by the choice to get in line with God’s ways or to rebel against it as Lucifer did. Because of the stronghold of excessive independence in my country, believe me, you are going to see an extreme amount of this rebellion against God’s eternal kingdom governmental system.

On the positive side, if you do obey what Jesus said by repenting and obeying His Father’s kingdom system, that is when God will start to trust you with things like kingdom authority and sonship dominion which is required to produce tangible results in our natural world. Contrarily, those who refuse to go through this process will NOT receive kingship authority or dominion over the elements of creation and will never manifest the kinds of supernatural effects that have the power to change the world.

If what I said so far was not obvious, we need to remember that there was a chief angel named Lucifer who rebelled against God’s government and as a result, he was cast out. When you see people who have as many self-exalting “I statements” in their attitude as Lucifer did, you know you are dealing with a person who has already followed in his footsteps to becoming a devil that will be in hell for eternity (Isaiah 14:13-15). Most of us, especially Americans like myself, have our fair share of rebellion slithering around inside of us. For some, it is blatantly obvious, while for others, it is much more subtle. Either way, when the right pressure is put on any of us, we are going to see that rebellion rise up like a cobra ready to strike.

Manifesting Power

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Mark 10:15 (KJV)

Trust me, I’ve seen it happen in me on more than one occasion. I’m not trying to say in any way that I’m “above” anyone who has not gone through this process. Not at all!! In fact, I’m trying to shed light on the reality of how critical this process of transformation is and how much of the traits of Lucifer already exist in most of us. My point here is that I’m a human like all others and because of that, I’ve had first-hand experience in fighting against the principles and laws of God’s eternal kingdom system.

In my own years of learning all that I’ve said here, something I noticed is that I appreciate hearing about the failures and weaknesses of others. When I hear how many things they did wrong and how human they really are, that helps me feel like there’s something I can relate to. When I see the humanity and imperfection of others who are in this process, it helps me to see that there really is hope that I can continue progressing toward full maturity as a king and fully mature son in God’s Kingdom.

My real desire is to reach all the highest levels of promotion and maturity so that I can operate in kingship authority and sonship dominion and manifest real results that have the power to change not just my life, but the entire world. That is what keeps me on track to keep going forward despite how many times I have had to deal with my own flesh that wants nothing to do with any of this.

With that said, let’s come back to this and further develop some of those ideas I’ve only introduced here in this early episode of the new series. Thank you for reading and supporting my work!
