Our Governor--The Holy Spirit--Has All Authority

Understanding who the Holy Spirit is and that He has been given all authority in His Kingdom is very important for Kingdom citizens to know. Along with authority, it is vital to understand His role. The Holy Spirit is appointed by the King, just as governors in Roman times were appointed to a colony. Jesus stated that He would ask His Father to give Him to us.
“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” John 14:15-16 Note Jesus first said that if you love Him, keep His commandments—His Word. It is connected with receiving the Holy Spirit.
This emphasizes the importance of studying His Constitution in order for you to know His Will. We must get His Word IN us. The Holy Spirit is appointed to you as an individual to lead you so let Him lead! He leads and guides by God’s Word. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it isn’t looking for Him and doesn’t recognize Him. But you know Him, because He lives with you now and later will be in you. John 14:17 NLT
The Holy Spirit comes from the Father God, nowhere else. He has the authority of our Lord and King. The Holy Spirit, as our Kingdom Governor, knows and understands the Kingdom. He intimately understands the heart, mind, desires, will and intent of the King and carries out the Kingdom purpose in His territory. We are His territory. We are His colonies. The Holy Spirit lives and reigns in us. Consider this: The authority that the Lord God has given us, is through the Holy Spirit in us! We don’t have authority alone, but through the power of the Holy Spirit in us! Jesus said: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19
The Governor represents only the King, no other nation or religion. He answers to no one but the One who gave Him that authority and assignment. He represents the King’s Will in your life. When you disobey the Lord God’s Word in any way, the Governor is grieved. Read what ambassador Paul stated to the Ephesians: And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30
The Holy Spirit is responsible and accountable to the King only. As our Governor, the Holy Spirit is not in you to promote His own agenda. His words and guidance are only from the Lord God. So, when you see or hear religious individuals promoting themselves and their own agenda, you can know they aren’t following the leading of the Governor. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Philippians 2:3
Keep in mind, the Holy Spirit isn’t going to make you obey the King’s Word. You have to make that choice. He will assist and guide you, but it is your decision! It is His territorial assignment to oversee and facilitate the transformation of the colony in accordance to the character of the King and His Kingdom. The Governor—Holy Spirit—was given to us from heaven to sow those seeds into the culture of His citizens.
The Holy Spirit teaches us the Kingdom culture. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26
Jesus told His disciples and followers not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there until they were filled with the Holy Spirit. And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:4-6
So they were obedient, gathering in the upper room, all of one mind in one accord, waiting to receive the Holy Spirit. 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. Acts 2:1-4
Back in colonial times in the United States, colonization was for the purpose of conversion, changing one culture to another. It exchanged the culture of that territory for the culture of the ruling kingdom. Whatever happened in the kingdom was supposed to happen in the colony as well. It is the same with the Kingdom of Heaven and our Kingdom Governor—the Holy Spirit.
In converting a territory to a colony of a kingdom, the cultural values, nature, language and lifestyle changes as well. It is being transformed into the likeness of that kingdom. It is all a transformational process. That involves the body, mind and spirit. It requires reading and studying the ways of the King. It is intentional, not accidental. Then the Governor will assist you in your transformation. He will remind you often of God’s Word in the process. I can testify to the truth of that in my life! When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring Me glory by telling you whatever He receives from Me. All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever He receives from Me.’ John 16:13-15 NLT
Religion has been a great deceiver when representing the Holy Spirit. They've called Him a ghost and relegated Him to barely more than entertainment to prove they "had good church", with people running and dancing. As long as people see Him that way, they will not come into the Kingdom authority that our Lord and King created for us through the power and authority of the Holy Spirit!
Remember, your faith in the King’s Word is your greatest asset in the Kingdom.
