Kingdom 101: Born to Rule, Not to be Ruled or Controlled
Mankind was not born to rule over mankind. This is why slavery in America was so wrong and demonic. In the Lord God's original plan, there was no corruption of the mind before man became disobedient to the King's command. The Lord God made this statement in Genesis: So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
We were born to rule the earth and that means all of us. When we don't become who we were meant to be or fulfill our destiny, we open the door to a whole world of personal problems. When we fail to submit our will to His Will and commandments, we allow ourselves to be dominated by our physical environment or by other people. This can result in things such as high blood pressure and other physical problems and illnesses. It can open the door to mental and emotional problems. It was this statement in God's Constitution that gave me enlightenment. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind. It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence. I find that verse 16 is really an awesome statement. The phrase "the highest heavens" refers to the heavens above the stratosphere; the invisible realm where the Lord God resides. Heaven is the Lord God's realm, but He gave planet earth to mankind, not in a deed of ownership, but as a lease agreement of proprietorship, This is why I state that we don't own anything, not even our children. They were given to us to train to obey the King's principles and laws so that they would have a Kingdom mindset. Here God's Constitution tells us directly that heaven isn't our territory.
Christians often speak of going to heaven when they die. Even though that may be true, heaven is only temporary for us. The Lord God has made sure that we don't stay there. If we were to stay in heaven, then the Lord God's Word isn't sovereign. He plainly stated that He created us to have dominion over the earth. The Lord God's Word will never fail. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth. It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Remember, if the Lord God states He created us to exercise dominion over the earth, then clearly how can we stay in heaven? The Lord God's purpose and original intent for us has always been that we dominate the earth. Christians and church goers have a tendency to over focus on going to heaven. That thought helps believers to survive this life living far below what God has promised. "It'll all be better by and by." The King of the universe has given us an earthly mandate. This is why He made arrangements to ensure that believers who die now will return to the earth with the Lord.
Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.
