KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
Creators Original Intentions and the Gospel
-
God’s original plan in creation was to extend His heavenly Kingdom on earth.
-
God’s purpose was to establish a family of sons , not servants
-
God’s purpose was to establish a Kingdom of sons, not subjects.
-
God’s purpose was to establish a commonwealth of citizens, not Christians.
-
God’s purpose was to establish relationships, not religion.
-
God’s original purpose and intent was to rule the seen from the unseen through the unseen living in the seen on the scene.
-
Human beings were created to exercise dominion over the earth and all its creatures.

God will not do anything on earth without permission or access from those on earth to whom He gave dominion.
-
10. God can do anything, but because He has given us the license, He can release on the earth only what we allow.
-
The gospel of the Kingdom is good news: a message sent from Daddy to all His children telling them that they can return home to the Kingdom and once again be sons and daughters in their full right.
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
Rule Government Modeled in Christ
-
God’s purpose was for us to rule over the created order as vice-regents under His authority.
-
Because God designed us to lead, the seeds of leadership lie within us, dormant until activated.
-
As God’s vice-regents in this world, we are the Kingdom of God on earth.
-
The Kingdom of God on earth is God’s ruler-ship within the hearts and spirits of believers, and the Kingdom of heaven is when that ruler-ship impacts the human earthly environment.
-
The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of light, the light of the knowledge of the Lord.
-
The antidote to ignorance is knowledge. Knowledge comes through truth, and truth brings liberation.
-
Without spiritual enlightenment into the divine truth of Christ, all other knowledge ultimately means nothing.
-
Jesus came to restore our position in God’s government – to make us righteous.
-
When we are in right relationship with God, He can extend His Kingdom – His Ruler ship- into out lives, and rule the earth through us.
-
Through Christ, our sins are forgiven and we receive a full pardon from God.
-
Jesus could not come until a Kingdom model existed as a visual illustration to help people understand His teachings on the Kingdom.
-
Christ’s Kingdom of truth is made up of citizens who are not only truth seekers but also truth followers.
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
Citizenship and Allegiance
-
As ambassadors of Christ, we represent our Father’s Kingdom on earth.
-
We cannot be effective citizens of the Kingdom of God and continue to think democratically.
-
Right thinking always precedes right acting.
-
We need to lay aside our democratic mindset and start thinking like Kingdom citizens.
-
The end will come when the gospel of the Kingdom has been preached throughout the world.
-
The specific hour of Christ’s return is in God’s hands, but the general timing of it is in ours.
-
The problem lies not with the readiness of the harvest but with the availability of harvesters.
-
The Kingdom of God represents power.
-
People everywhere are looking for the Kingdom, even if they don’t recognize it by that name.
-
As beings created in the image of God, we belong to God, and He can claim us in a way no earthly kingdom can.
-
In matters of the spirit, God demands undivided allegiance.
