A major aspect of the heavenly realms is the governmental perspective.
There are different levels of governmental authority relating to the different realms.
Our mountains and our thrones are positions of governmental authority that are in different realms .
The courts of heaven are arranged in increasing levels of governmental authority relating to the different realms Kingdom of God – angels, strategy, mobile – Lords Kingdom of heaven – chancellor’s scribes – Kings Heaven’s Court System Court of Judges (Kingdom Government) (3) (High Judicial Decrees) Court of the Lord (Ya Sod) (1) Court of 70 (Galactic Council) (2) (Legislative for 70 1st Nations) Court of Kings (Sons who have their Mountain) (Legislative Decrees) Court of Councils of the Fathers Court of the Upright (Men in White Linen) Court of Chancellors Administration of Protocols From all Judicial Systems Court of the Scribes (Records of You and Your Maturity) Court of War (Strategy/Council For War) Court of Angels Authorizations/Mandates Actioned Earth Mobile Court Accusations & papers Heaven – kings, fathers, upright – kings Heaven of heavens – judges, council of 70 and Ya Sod court of the Lord – mature sons.
All of the heavenly realms can be accessed by invitation to observe and then to function as we mature to different levels of authority Lords, kings and mature sons.
Prov 8:15 I empower kings to reign and rulers to make laws that are just. 16 I empower princes to rise and take dominion, and nobles to govern the earth.
Different types of authority and different functions of authority. Our sonship is governmental.
Jesus is our head and His government is on our shoulders as His body and coheirs.
As sons, we all carry responsibility for creation for its liberty from bondage into the freedom of our sonship.
We need to mature to exercise the full authority of our sonship.

Zechariah 3:7 Lord King Son King Son Charge of My Courts.
Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Eph 1:4 He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world! Jesus is God’s mind made up about us! He always knew in hislove that he would present us again face-to-face before him in blameless innocence. 1:5 He is the architect of our design; his heart dream realized our coming of age in Christ.
God gave mankind a sonship mandate.
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 the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’
Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:20 …Creation did not volunteer to fall prey to the effect of the fall. Yet within this Government stark setting, hope prevails. 21 All creation knows that the glorious liberty of the sons of God sets the stage for their own release from decay.
We are sons in relation to all creation. Our sonship has spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects. Sons are all made in the image and likeness of God who is the creator and sustainer of all creation. As co-heirs, sons, we all have a role to play in creation’s freedom. God is relational and we are made in His image to be relational i.e. to have relationship with Him and each other God, being love, established relationship.
It is love that motivated Him to reconcile, renew and restore relationship with mankind as first fruits of all creation – this is the restoration of all things.
In biblical times the first-born son had the right to a double portion of inheritance – culture. God is not bound by human culture. He chooses to supersede human culture by His desires.
He chose Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Gideon, David, Solomon, Deborah, Esther He chooses you(!!) as a son and heir with an inheritance and birthright.
Everyone has a birthright, regardless of gender or position in family or worldly measurements or values. Our design matched with our destiny brings fulfilment, not the futility and frustration of DIY self-effort. We will not find and fulfil our destiny by intellectual understanding or by physical strength or strength of will.
We will find our destiny in an intimate relationship with our creator, trusting God and living by His faith not our DIY beliefs and ideals.
Surrendering to God’s will for our lives makes us coheirs not slaves.
Our sonship birthright is righteousness; this is our true identity as God’s children.
Having a birthright includes having blessing, value, worth, affirmation, acceptance – therefore being loved. This brings us the contentment of living loved – a continual state of bliss.
Our birthright is associated with being priests and oracles and being fruitful,
Our birthright is associated with the Precepts of God, His very essence, character and nature which is love.
Jesus as the Son of God personified true love as the son of man.
My precepts are the foundation of the beginning, I AM, My eternal nature and character the fullest expression of who I AM.
The foundation of righteousness, the fullest demonstration of love revealed in pure light.
My heart revealed. The why of creation.
Our sonship has an inheritance which brings a position. Our position brings significance and esteem as heirs.
Our governmental position is coheirship: we are kings and rulers.
Our inheritance is associated with increasing, multiplying and filling.
Our inheritance is associated with the statutes of God. My statutes are the fullest expression of how I see and perceive everything, My world view.
A heavenly and eternal viewpoint. The lens through which all things from the largest galaxy to the smallest particle are observed.
My observation that enables the existence of all things. My mind revealed. The what of creation.
Our sonship has destiny and purpose.
Our destiny and purpose release approval, validation, worth, satisfaction and accomplishment as co-creators.
Our destiny is the mandate to overcome, subdue and rule
Our destiny is associated with legislation using our authority.
Our destiny is to bring order through the laws of God.
My laws are the principles that enable all things to exist, that which holds everything together. The divine cogs of all existence, from the relative to the quantum. My voice revealed. The how of creation.
An object is a specific vibration; every ‘thing’, or subject, is an expression of a variant frequency. ‘Things’ are mere externalized manifestations of internal, cosmic vibrations.
Creation begins with a subtle, (spiritual) vibration and movement within the Infinite Creator, which then gives rise to a physical vibration of energy, which is eventually solidified into matter.
At every moment, every physical time/space expression is an externalized manifestation of a spiritual vibration.
Man, below is a reflection of the Above.
The power of human speech below mimics the creative power of Divine speech.
Divine speech creates reality and human speech qualifies reality, calling it good or bad.
On a deeper level, our words and how we language our thoughts is a process of continually creating the world around us.
In other words, things are to us what we say they are… Just as we have the power to create with speech, we have the equivalent ability to destroy through speech.
Our words, which are our projections and vibrations, alter the inner frequency of the universe, for good and for the opposite. –Rav Pinson.
It is our legislative governmental words that create ripples in space time to create reality.
Eph 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened (opened), so that you will know what is the hope of His calling (destiny), what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Einstein said logic gets you from A to B but imagination can take you anywhere – including destiny.
Psa 40:7 Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart.”
Letter of decree or commission from the Court of the Lord that carries our destiny our purpose and the provisions for fulfilment.
Our destiny is the treasure that God has set aside for us.
Designed us to possess but it requires a battle and maturity to attain.
It will enrich our lives and bring us fulfilment based on our unique design and will also advance the kingdom of God.
Our destiny is the rule of sonship but we can’t rule in righteousness without coming from a place of rest and relationship – knowing Him as Father so we can know Him as Lord and King.
We are priests before we are kings. Love not duty and obligation produces true worship and sonship.
I believe God is raising up a generation of sons and daughters who are forerunners like Joshua and Caleb who spied out the land and gave a good report of their physical inheritance.
They then led the next generation to cross over where they had been.
God is calling the Joshua Generation as His sons to come out of the wilderness.
God is calling His sons to cross over beyond the veil into their supernatural inheritance.
God is calling His sons to come home back into His eternal heart.
Matt 11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
Engaging Jesus, we can take His yoke upon us and learn to surrender the seat of rest and government to the Father as He did, only to do the will of the Father who sent Him.
The throne or seat of rest resides in our spirit which is a mountain.
The throne represents the authority, the rule and government of our lives.
The seat of rest and government is the position within the throne of our own life and once it is surrendered to the Father He can begin to father us into sonship.
The heavenly realms are like a mountain where there are also thrones, places of spiritual authority.
The heavenly realms recognize when God is on the throne of our life and open up to us to be seated there.
We have heavenly and earthly authority when we are surrendered.
Who is on the throne of your life?
Who is in charge of your life?
Depending on who is on the throne or seat of rest in our spirit, we will either be at rest or striving to meet our own needs in our own strength.
The key to being able to find and fulfil our destinies is to experience living from the place of rest and love.
All responsibility must flow from relational rest.
When God is on the throne of our lives the needs of the soul are met. Love, affirmation, approval, significance, provision, protection. All flowing from the inside out, not from what we do externally to create our own DIY identity.
Being seated is a picture of rest. In the Old Testament, the priests never sat down. There were no chairs in the tabernacle of Moses or in the temple of God because their work was never finished. There was only the mercy seat where God’s presence and glory rested.
Jesus sat down because His work is finished.
Hebrews 10:11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; 12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.
Hebrews 10:13 …Enemies become a footstool for His feet. God’s desire is that none would perish and all would come to know Him, therefore those who are God’s enemies in their own minds come to realize that that they are actually His children e.g.
Saul became Paul.
The place where He can bring His rest – a footstool, a temple, a place of worship.
Isa 66:1 Thus says the Lord, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? 2 For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”
The shadow of the physical land was a symbol of rest to the children of Israel in the Old Testament.
Heb 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.
God’s grace and rest are the full inheritance of the believer in the new covenant relationship.
YHVH, the Creator of the universe, rested on the seventh day.
We do not get just one day in seven: we get to rest every day, because our rest is in Him. Our rest is possible because His work is complete but always effective and working on our behalf .
John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Abiding in Him speaks of a relationship of rest where fruit grows.
We cannot produce fruit of any eternal value unless we are connected to the source through the Vine (Jesus).
In relationship with Him, we allow Him to work through us so our destiny can be fulfilled.
We are together with Him as coheirs.
As sons we have a face-to-face restored relationship where we can relate to God who is Father, Son and Spirit in the spiritual dimensions both within and in heaven.
This is a beneficial, walking, fellowship relationship where we are about the Father’s business and that carries governmental responsibility.
The essence of the heavenly realms is relational.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God… Perfect relationship: Father, Son and Holy Spirit where love, joy and peace are perfectly expressed in I AM.
Experiencing this transformed my life so I could live loved, love living and live loving.
Gen 3:8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
Notice, when Adam sinned God did not say “What did you do?” but “Where are you?”
Adam fell from the realm where he could walk with the Father and Spirit in Eden, God’s heavenly garden.
This walking relationship is restored; we now have access to the heavenly garden.
God had to come to earth himself as the Last Adam, the son of man, Jesus, to restore that walking relationship.
Note I said ‘walking relationship’ not ‘working relationship’.
Relationship with God always comes before working with Him. Note that I said working ‘with’ Him not ‘for’ Him.
We are sons, not slaves or servants, coheirs with Jesus for the establishing of God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
That is why Jesus came: to restore our relationship with the Father and by definition to open up the heavenly realms for us to enter.
Restoration of our relationship with God is the central feature of history.
With a reconciled and restored relationship with God, a process of transformation, the healing of our spirit, soul and body, can begin and we can mature and function as sons in the heavenly realms.
Rom 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Jesus’ life is the perfect example of sonship; His dual realms living enabled Him to be continually connected to His Father.
Along with all the rights of being adopted as sons come the responsibilities of being part of a royal family.
We have the responsibility to be family representatives on earth so that others can see what God is like through our relationship with Him.
Being part of a royal family gives us access to the palace i.e. the heavenly realms where God dwells and where we can dwell.
To understand how to engage the heavenly realms we need to know where we come from so that we can understand why we are here today.
Knowing our eternal identity will reveal our heavenly position so we can be history makers by creating and changing what will be.
This is how our destiny gets outworked, one day at a time: yesterday, today, tomorrow as we live from heaven’s perspective.
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
This is true for all of us but the reality can only be discovered from a relational as well as a heavenly perspective.
God is speaking here to Jeremiah, but He has also spoken to each of us. For Jeremiah that was as a prophet to the nations.
What name has He given you?
Who has He called you to be?
What position has He appointed you to?
1 Cor 15:48-49 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
We need to bear the image of our heavenly identity and position
Heb 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
If we come to the Father relationally as sons we all have all the resources of heaven available to us just like Jesus had by living in dual realms.
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 want to be involved in the family business.
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. Shift your conscious focus. 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. Ask Jesus to take you to engage the arc within the tabernacle. Let Him take you by the hand and lead you .You look into His presence. You begin to think of His name YHVH. You see His 4 faces rotating, morphing. You step into His presence, into His name, step into the 4 faces. Ask Jesus to walk with you on the ancient path back into eternity, into the eternal now of God’s heart.
Be in the Perichoresis, the circle of the dance of Father, Spirit and Son. Home in Father, Mother and Brother Cocooned in their heart so they can reveal their true essence to you. They will reveal their heart of love for you. Feel the desires of their heart for you. You may hear the conversation of their thoughts about you. You may feel who you were always meant to be. Sense and know your eternal identity and destiny.
