Kingdom 104: Masculine-Minded Men of the Kingdom Government Pt 2
Masculine-thinking men know their Creator on a personal level because they are filled with God's Word. They are the ones who are constantly seeking wisdom from their Source. They are a reflection of God's standards because what is IN them can't help but radiate out of them. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
As I view many males that attend church, who claim to know the King, it is not a reflection of the King that I see. They reflect the world from their fohawk haircut all the way down to their skinny jeans. They do not find their identity in Christ, but in the current fashions of the world. Whatever you have consumed with your mind and emotions will be revealed in your appearance and your behavior. There are far too many churches with males who are more feminine than masculine, even to the point of homosexuality or gender confusion. They are not the men of God He created them to be. If you are a man of the Kingdom, you will have the Holy Spirit abiding in your mortal body, guiding and directing you. It will never be contrary to His Word. I stated you will have the Holy Spirit (the Governor) not your might.
Masculine-minded men have a solid foundation in the Word of God (the Constitution). In religious organizations, many men have abandoned God's Word for their own ideology. They have taken the world's standards (or lack of standards), fused it with the parts of God's Word they can "live with" and created a jambalaya they justify as being in right-standing with God. Ambassador Paul made it very clear while speaking to the Roman believers who didn't acknowledge God for who He was: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
When a man fails to recognize the Lord God for who He truly is, he is subject to all kinds of spirits. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. A masculine-minded Kingdom man always has God's Word as a priority. His principles and character are Biblical and of the highest quality. Those chosen for His purpose and assignment are all filled with the Holy Spirit before they are sent out. They are fully equipped with the Holy Spirit and God's Word. If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Keep in mind, obedience is a key mandate to receiving the "Gift of the Holy Spirit". Those who were obedient were given the Gift and received it at the appointed time. When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
If the men who were obedient to the Kingdom message were to be effective with the Kingdom Gospel, they must be filled with the Holy Spirit. In order for the ambassador Paul to do the things that he had done, he had to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Governor). The Lord Jesus had chosen Paul to be an ambassador to the Gentiles, but not before the Lord God filled him with His Spirit. But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”
And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.
Now, I want you to realize that the Lord Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit, but with unlimited power and authority, as the Son of God. Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness... Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. That is our responsibility as well. Masculine-minded Kingdom men obey the Kingdom standards and principles. By doing so, they become living, breathing examples of what the Kingdom lifestyle is like and they lead by example.
Remember, your greatest asset is your faith in the Lord Jesus the Christ.
