Breaking Diplomatic Relations

Whenever national governments changes leaders, the new leadership recalls the old ambassadors, who no longer represent the government, and appoints new ones who will reflect the views and policies of the new administration. Sometimes, nations in conflict with each other sever diplomatic relations and recall their ambassadors. In a spiritual sense, this is what happened in the Garden of Eden. When Adam sinned, the Kingdom of man entered into conflict with the Kingdom of God. The government of God broke diplomatic ties with man and "recalled" the Holy Spirit. Because of his sin, Adam became an unholy container and God withdrew His glory, His presence and His ruling authority.
When man lost the Spirit of God the Kingdom of God could not come fully on the Earth. After Adam sinned, he was like an ambassador with no power, and without a country, enslaved in Satan's kingdom of darkness. From Adam to Jesus there were countless generations of human "ambassadors" who misrepresented God's government because they had no legitimate power or authority. In order for God's Kingdom to come to Earth, some way had to be found to get the Holy Spirit back into man. Somehow, mankind's dominion authority and kingdom citizenship had to be restored. Jesus came to Earth to restore man to his rightful position in the universe.
There is a kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan, and a kingdom of light ruled by God. All of us were born into the kingdom of darkness. That is why we could not help but sin. Satan's power was now ruling instead of man. He successfully reduced man to a state of impotency. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil...
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
...and to deliver us from the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light....
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people; that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
...and give us power to take our rightful places.
Although we once were children of darkness, we are now children of light, and we should think and conduct ourselves accordingly.
You are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
For we were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Jesus' goal was to cleanse us from our sin, to change us from unholy to holy vessels, suitable for the Holy Spirit to reside in.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another; and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. By doing this, it becomes possible for God to fully establish His Kingdom, a Kingdom made up of His children who represent Him faithfully in the Earth.
John wrote: This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the light that all through Him might believe...But many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
We are used to trusting ourselves to control our lives. Most of us have done a pretty miserable job with that trust. Once we turn our trust toward God, we are introduced to a new power to live our lives. That power also enables us to fulfill the commission as ambassadors of the kingdom of heaven, a commission that He will never rescind. As the true sons of God, we are now connected to the government of God. Now begins the process of tutoring us to rule as royalty. This grooming process is the work of the Holy Spirit.
