As I stated in my last article, although we think of colon most often as the large intestine, the word actually encompasses the entire system, beginning with the tongue and esophagus, through the stomach, small intestine and large intestine all the way to the rectum. How does this connect with colonies and cultivation of a garden? It is a Greek concept. Your colon begins in your head and ends in your bottom. Whatever goes into your head is consumed and will end up in the bottom, guaranteed.
Now here is the connection that the Greeks made. They said that the key to government is to get what is in the head out to the bottom of the community. The king is the head and he appoints a governor to communicate and establish his will and desires throughout the community at the bottom (the colony). Similarly, the job of the master gardener is to execute the will and desires of the garden owner (the head) and product a garden (the bottom) that satisfies those desires. This is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives: to ensure that we as Kingdom citizens reproduce the character and culture and live according to the values, standards and principles of our king. It is this "top to bottom" process that King Jesus had in mind when He taught His disciples to pray. I personally call it the domino effect. Read how King Jesus prayed: Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Please remember and take note: When this connection is made from top to bottom, from Heaven to Earth, from the King to His citizens though the link of the Holy Spirit; then the results will be a manifestation of Kingdom power and authority that is as attractive as it is undeniable. By His own declaration, Jesus did nothing of His own. Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner." And what did King Jesus do? And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Because He knew the heart and mind of His Father.
The "colon" was clear. The border between countries was open, and the loving, merciful, compassionate and healing will of the King passed from His supernatural realm into the realm of the natural. Remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. King Jesus gave us this promise: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. The Holy Spirit came to dwell in us for the purpose of fulfilling this promise in and through us. Christ is the Head, in Heaven, and we are His Body, on Earth. The Governor delivers the will of the Head to the Earth and carries it out through us, the Body. The Master Gardener takes the seeds and plans of the Owner and transfers the Garden of His supernatural realm into the natural world. This is a process we must understand.
