Our desire is to help facilitate the children of God as the Joshua generation to function in their governmental positions as sons of God. This governmental function is according to our cherubic nature within the Order of Melchizedek. To function in a governmental sonship position, we need our identity as sons to come from the Father. We need a cardio gnosis, face to face, heart to heart, knowing the desires of the Father’s heart. Governmental sonship is reflecting the Father’s heart. We need to take our place within the order of Melchizedek as sons within YHVH. We govern within the power of His name reflecting from heaven into the earth as gateways. Our position is YHVH invested in sonship. In this message we are going to look at our position. Our position is an invested position. Our position is a heavenly position. Our position has mountain spheres of authority. Our position is enthroned in heaven. Investiture, succession, enthronement, coronation.
Investiture: the action of formally investing a person with honors or rank. Investiture a ceremony at which honors, or rank is formally conferred on a particular person. Induction, inauguration, appointment, entrustment, baptism, invested: provide or endow someone or something with (a particular quality or attribute) Invested: to furnish with power, authority, rank, etc. Invested: to install in an office or position. We are invested with identity and destiny. We are invested with a position of relationship. We are invested with a position of governmental authority. It is vital we know our heavenly position and roles. We are invested with identity and destiny before the foundation of the world from the desire of the Father’s heart. We are invested and commissioned in the court of the Lord, assigned our scroll and angels.
What is a position?
A strategic area occupied by members of a force. An advantageous place or location. Social standing or status; rank. A post of employment; a job. The area for which a particular player is responsible. The right or appropriate place. Position in government- in England a prime minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, minister of defense, education. Position in the team. Position in heavenly or earthly dimensions. Zech 3:6-7 Position ruling the house and charge of courts. Position of heavenly governmental kingdom authority.
I am a dwelling, I am a mountain, I am a gateway. An appointed position. A mandated position. A governmental position. A position of sonship. Our destiny has specific positions attached to it. We need to know our position, our eternal identity and authority. Engaging the Father reveals our identity. In this realm, within our hearts, within our spirit, in Eden, in Father’s Garden, at the arc, record room, eternal now of God’s heart. Identity releases position and position releases authority. We are uniquely made; our identity is designed for our position. 7 spirits of God help us with our position. Spirit of the Lord Mandates. Spirit of Wisdom Equips. Spirit of Understanding Authorizes. Spirit of Counsel Prepares. Spirit of Might Reveals. Spirit of Knowledge Empowers. Spirit of the fear of Lord ministers Accountableness. Identity of sonship leads to positions of sonship.
We are a mountain, a sphere of governmental authority, and we are positioned governmentally in the heavenly realms. When we know our identity and position, we can operate with governmental authority. Our inheritance as sons has positions that are released as we mature. The position of lordship and kingship carries with it responsibility to be and fulfil its purpose. Jesus came of age: He discovered His destiny. Luke 2:49 “Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” or “in the things of my Father”.
The intimacy of knowing our Father and discovering our sonship inevitably leads us to see what the Father is doing, and He wants us to be involved in the family business. This is a responsibility, but it is not a heavy burden if we are yoked to Jesus. Gen 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over… it”. As God’s children, His sons and heirs, we have been given this mandate or authority to rule.
Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Where are we positioned in the heavenly realms?
Zech 3:7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here.’”
Govern or rule the house; where do we do this?
Psa 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.
Psa 45:6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
Investiture, Succession, Enthronement, Coronation. Identity releases position and position releases authority. These positions are not earned by performance but given as rights. Maturity is not about performance but a realized identity: being releases doing.
Investiture – we are all invested with His identity as sons with the birthright of a heavenly position and heavenly roles and responsibilities.
Succession – old king or queen dies or abdicates – separation of soul and spirit, surrender of the seat of rest and government.
Enthronement is the private ceremony where the king or queen is given the position and authority that is rightfully theirs.
Coronation is a public recognition of what has been done privately. If the rightful heir is under the age of responsibility they would be tutored and trained for their position. We are in a process of maturity in which being a living sacrifice and open to continual training is vital.
Where does God dwell in heaven? Where is God’s throne in heaven?
We are made in God’s image. We are made to reflect heaven. We can have a mountain and throne within. We have a mountain and throne in heaven. There will be a connection between where God dwells and rules in heaven and where He dwells and has His throne in us. We are His ambassadors, living in heaven and on earth under heaven’s government. So, we can be manifested as sons on earth as it is in heaven. Ezek 28:13 “You were in Eden, the garden of God; 14 …You were on the holy mountain of God” Psa 68:16 Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, At the mountain which God has desired for His abode? Surely the Lord will dwell there forever.
God dwells on a mountain. When God started coming and appearing to man, it was unsurprisingly on mountain tops. Ps 48:1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain. The city of God and the mountain of God are synonymous terms. The Bible uses lots of different terms to describe where God dwells, rules and where His throne is. Sometimes it will be like a temple, like a city, like a mountain, but they are all talking about the same thing. Ps 2:6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” God did everything on mountains. Eden was a mountain. Mount Moriah – Jerusalem. Mount Horeb – Sinai, God’s Mountain. Israel is described as God’s Mountain. Jerusalem is described as God’s Mountain. We are now God’s Mountain.
Ex 15:17 “You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, O Lord, which You have made for Your dwelling, The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.”
We are a mountain: that is both our identity and our position. Our spirit is a mountain, symbolic of authority and God’s throne and dwelling place. Our spirit is a place of governmental authority. God’s Kingdom resides within our spirit. God has called us to rule as His sons. You are a mountain, a place of authority. When God dwells on your mountain you reflect the heavenly realms. You also have mountain ranges in the heavenly realms. You have thrones on those mountains. As a mountain you are a position of heavenly authority as a son. Matt 4:8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. He was shown all the kingdom governmental spheres including yours and mine. We each have at least 7 mountains or governmental spheres under our position or seat of government in the heavenly kingdom of God. Mountains represent our spheres of authority, the redemptive governmental aspects of our destiny roles in the manifestation of sonship that will bring about creation’s restoration. Hebrew language each letter is a picture. Each word is therefore a comic strip Mountain רַ ר ָ֫ ה harar means ‘Behold the ruler of rulers’. Mountains are places of authority, rulership and government. Think Hebrew and not Greek. We need to think function, not form. The function of a mountain is authority. The function of a throne is rulership. When we come across mountains in the Bible, dreams, visions etc. we can now stop thinking about them as big lumps of rock, things to climb and plant a flag on.
Isaiah 2:2-5 Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains and will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.
The destiny of God’s people and the true Ecclesia of God is the true government of God. Isa 9:7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness.
The purpose of true government is to bring rest and peace. The rest of relationship leads to the responsibility of rulership. Jesus must be on the seat of rest and government in me, on my mountain and my throne, until I am seated on my throne in heaven as a fully mandated and manifested son of God. The kingdom is within us; there is no end to the increase of His government (kingdom) and peace, shalom, wholeness. Therefore the kingdom must also increase, expand and grow: in me and through me and around me.
So, there is a place where you rule, where you are the mountain, which has a throne. The nature of the rulership we are called to is to raise people up into their own places of authority and power, not to keep them down and subservient. The Joshua generation are forerunners. The construct of our spirit is a mountain, symbolic of authority, and is a dwelling place where there is a throne. Who is on the throne? Our spirit is a place of governmental authority. God’s Kingdom resides within our spirit. God has called us to rule as His sons. Our position is a mountain. Our position is also light and we are connected to the structure of the dimensional realms. We have a position of sonship in the Tree of Life. We have a position of government within Metatron’s Cube. We each have mountains or governmental spheres under our position or seat of government in the heavenly kingdom of God. The mountain ranges in the heavenly realms are patterned after God’s Mountain.
Engage our spirit mountain within; explore your own spirit construct. Engage the seat of rest and government. Abdicate and surrender; invite the Father to take His place. Ask the Father to father you. Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21 He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Rev 3:20 You have shut me out in your self-righteousness; but behold, here I stand knocking at the door! If anyone recognizes my voice and lets me in, I am so ready to join you for a feast! Yes, I will dine with you and you with me!
Rev 3:21 And everyone’s personal triumph will be celebrated together with me, by being jointly seated together in my Kingship! On exactly the same basis of my victory celebration and my joint seatedness with my Father in his throne!
Close your eyes and think of the door. Begin to picture that door. By faith reach out to the handle and open the first love door. Welcome His presence into your spirit. Ask Jesus to give you a tour of your spirit, gates, throne etc. Engage our mountain and see our mountain spheres. We can meet our angels who have been caretaking our position until we mature. There may be some things on your mountain or around your mountains. Steps like Jacob’s ladder leading up to heaven; start thinking about those steps and the open door. Hear the invitation to come up here. Let those steps form in your imagination and by faith walk up those steps to the door, step through the veil into the kingdom realm. Jesus is standing in the doorway. Present yourself to Jesus, your High Priest, as a living sacrifice. Let Him take you by the hand and lead you. Let Jesus take you by the hand to your mountain, your position of government as a Lord. See your throne, there is an angel, caretaking. Engage the angel, ask it its name. It will be your reference point. Look down at your mountains and ask Jesus to reveal them to you. Do you see anything on or around those mountains – take note. Let Jesus invest you with the position and authority as a Lord. Let Jesus call forth your identity and position. Jesus may take you into your mountain. There may be rooms, scrolls, weapons and other things to discover.
