Violating Kingdom Laws and Principles
It is time for the citizens of the Kingdom to recognize who they really are, and stop prostituting themselves out to this world's system. It is time to change the way you are thinking and embrace the kingdom concept. While Jesus the Christ was on this earth, He made it perfectly clear: Change the way you now think and turn around. From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
He also made it perfectly clear that He didn't come to change the law of His Father, but to fulfill (to carry out; something promised, desired, expected, predicted, obey) “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."
As you can see, the King made it clear that His purpose was to complete the purpose and assignment that His Father God assigned to Him.
When we fail to obey our Creator's written Word, we fail to become His divinely appointed representatives. In doing so, our behavior affects those of us in a non-productive way. Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Dr Luke also recorded this statement: Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Jesus made it clear that your lifestyle will cause others to stumble in His Word. Those who do so can never truly represent the Kingdom. In order for one to represent the Kingdom. They must first obey His Word, then He will fill them with His Holy Spirit.
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. This promise will give you power and control over unclean spirits, as well as yourself. The Holy Spirit is the extension of the Lord God's Spirit to claim you as His own. One can't claim to represent the Kingdom of God and live a life in total disobedience to His written Word. The only one who you are fooling is yourself. Once you are "born again" (meaning your spirit) the Holy Spirit gives you the power to be a Kingdom citizen in good standing (meaning a life separated to the King's holy life; a life in the Spirit).
The ambassador Paul stated it this way: I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Remember, the sting of death is the fear of dying. If that be the case, then where is death's victory? O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
Please note: The deceiver seemed to be victorious in the Garden of Eden and at the cross of Jesus, but the Lord God turned the deceiver's apparent victory into defeat when Jesus rose from the dead and took His body with Him, Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Remember, Kingdom citizens have no fear of death, in fact, Paul put it perfectly. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
