SEPERATION OF THE CHURCH AND STATE WAS NOT GOD'S IDEA
THE ORGANIZED CHURCH SHIES AWAY FROM BEING INVOLVED IN GOVERNMENT.
But we were designed by our Creator to govern on the earth, it is our destiny!
God's people in the church for the most part have forgotten that our destiny is to be God's Ultimate Government on earth! His ekklesia.
This dominion authority was given to Adam when he was in a covenant relationship with God the Creator.
When Adam and Eve broke that covenant man's authority was given over by Adam to the evil one, because he listened and followed the instructions of the enemy.
When Jesus died and was buried, He descended into Hell and took the keys to death, hell, and the grave. He rose again and ascended into Heaven to restore that authority to the sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve, who are in a covenant relationship with Him.
A False Teaching that can foster Complacency in the people of God.
We invite people to repeat a short simple prayer, offering them the promised hope of going to Heaven for eternity, but that is not the promise that is written in the Holy Scriptures! We have changed a few of the details and by doing so have created our own narrative that can foster complacency.
Our destiny is NOT sitting in Heaven for eternity playing the harp of Gold and worshiping at the throne forever.
With that mindset, no one feels the need to diligently prepare for their destiny. The message can be misread to prepare for eternal rest rather than to prepare to rule and reign in concert with Christ. Ruling in the same spirit and with the same heart as Jesus. A heart full of joy, peace, love, forgiveness, compassion, forbearance, patience, meekness, kindness, and self-control exactly as he would reign
Yes, we need to recognize we are a sinner, we need to confess to God and perhaps to another sojourner. We need to ask God for forgiveness and receive His forgiveness and clothe ourselves in the righteousness of Christ. Along with abandoning any future attempts to establish our own righteousness.
But our destiny is NOT sitting in Heaven for eternity playing the harp of Gold and worshiping at the throne forever. We are His sons and daughters, a royal priesthood! a Holy nation!
Our destiny is to be ever-present with the Lord ON THE NEW EARTH!
We sing about the streets of gold in Heaven but the Scripture says the Street made of gold is in the New Jerusalem that comes down out of Heaven. Read the twenty-first chapter of Revelation. Here are just a few of the verses found there.
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:2 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
You may think this is only semantics, a slight change in words, and not at all important. However, hoping to leave this world and go to Heaven forever, means you want to escape the world that your Creator God created specifically for man's well-being and the place he designed specifically for man to have dominion over.
Jesus was born of a woman and born under the law, this qualified him to rule over the earth not just for 1000 years but forever. If God did not make a mistake when he designed the earth as man's perfect dwelling place, then when He restores His order and removes the evil one, would He not place a son of Adam in the seat of dominion over the whole earth?
Jesus is referred to as the final Adam and one day he will rule and reign on the earth, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Scripture says, of the increase of His government there will be no end.
