To engage the Pathway of Responsibility we need to learn how to access beyond the veil and take our positions as lords, kings and sons on our thrones in the heavenly realms. When we are seated in the heavenly realms we can establish kingdom government. Then as a gateway of heaven the kingdom fills and expands our boundaries on earth
Esther 4:14 And who knows whether you have been called to for kingdom royalty for such a time as this?”
We were all created spirits in eternity as desires in the heart of God and expressed as thoughts within God’s mind and spoken into existence for such a time as this.
Of all the times in history that you could have been born you have been specifically chosen for now. The enemy has tried to rob, kill and destroy your destiny as sons of the kingdom. It is time to rise up and serve the purposes of God in your generation.
Isa 42:9 “Behold, the former things have come to pass, now I declare new things; before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”
We must be aware when the former or old things have come to the end of their usefulness to accept and embrace the new things. God is revealing new things in our day; the revelation that was once sealed is now being released. We often try to cling on to what is old, comfortable and familiar like the children of Israel in the wilderness. Old forms of church, ministry, prayer are being challenged by new fresh revelation of truth.
Matt 9:16 But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. 17 Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Matt 16:18 I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My (Ecclesia) church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Jesus builds the Ecclesia with people as the living stones of all shapes and sizes.
1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light;
Ecclesia is the Greek word translated into English as church but does not have many of the negative connotations associated with the word church. This means people who gather together around a heavenly vision. Jesus builds his Ecclesia with people We are those people we are the new wineskin and God dwells in us by His Spirit.
The kingdom of God, His rule and reign is now within us and that gives us access to heaven’s government. We are gateways of heaven so that the kingdom that will flow through us. We are the living stones that God uses to build His Ecclesia and expand His kingdom.
An Ecclesia both individually and corporately is a shadow of what is established in heaven, God’s blueprint. A shadow of heaven can only be formed on the earth when we are in heaven. We live under the heavenly kingdom authority that we establish as sons. A new wineskin Ecclesia will not be a building an organization or just meetings. It will be people who have a heavenly mandate and a blueprint of restoration. The Ecclesia will be the wineskin of an embassy of heaven on earth.
God is calling people out of the old religious structures. God is calling a new generation who will accept their destiny and inheritance. God is raising up the Joshua Generation those who will cross over beyond the veil and be mentors to that coming united generation.
At a conference in worship I saw Joshua and Joseph come and stand on my left and right and Enoch stand behind and Daniel stand in front. Joseph and Joshua held up my hands to strengthen me. They were the men in white linen part of the cloud of witnesses on assignment investing in us.
The Joshua generation has a different spirit they will be forerunners and pioneers beyond the veil. The Joshua generation is giant slayers. The Joshua generation will mentor the next generation to engage their full supernatural heavenly inheritance. The Joshua generation will also be the Joseph, Daniel and Enoch generation
Gen 5:24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Enoch walked with God in the heavenly realms and outworked that on the earth. Enoch prophesied about our day. We are called to be those who walk in the heavenly realms like Enoch.
Dan 12:4 But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Daniel saw into our day and sealed up the books. Daniel has now unsealed those books in our generation.
Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, 38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?” 39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are. 40 You shall be over my house
Joseph came out of the prison of obscurity to administrate a nation. To set up storehouses for the harvest and he had the whole world come to Him including his brothers who rejected him. We are being called to administrate the new wineskin of God’s Ekklesia. We are called to establish embassies of heaven storehouses on the earth.
Isa 60:1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 2 “For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. 3 “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isa 2:2 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. 3 And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
God is calling to a generation who have been through the wilderness years. He is calling to the Joshua generation to arise and shine. He is calling people to cross over and take possession of their inheritance. Pioneers who will occupy the land and restore it.
I stepped into the four faces of God and was given a fiery scroll in each hand. Scroll for the Joshua Generation a scroll for the harvest of a billion harvesters. I was translated simultaneously to stand before all the governmental buildings and palaces around the earth. I declared that the establishing of Joshua Generation and cities of refuge.
This is a new era where the government of heaven and its judicial authority is being released to My sons. Call to the sons of man to come to their eternal positions to establish heavenly government on the earth. The call is to the Joshua Generation to prepare for the harvest. Establishing ARC’s, Habitations of God, Gardens of God, Cities of Refuge, Storehouses for the harvest, Embassies of heaven on earth, Living under the higher spiritual authority and laws of heaven. Living in the overlap of heaven and earth.
Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven.
Col 1:13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved.
We are citizens of a heavenly supernatural kingdom living on earth but ruling from heaven.
An embassy is occupied by the people from the nation it represents. It has an ambassador and diplomatic officials representing the interests of the country of origin. We are all ambassadors and diplomatic officials with immunity from the laws of the country it is based in.
Luke 17:21 the kingdom of God is within you. Eph 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, God is with us, God is in us – will we allow God to flow through us?
2 Cor 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. Eph 6:20 I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming the kingdom I may speak boldly.
An Ambassador is a diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another. An authorized messenger or representative. Agent, apostolic delegate, messenger, minister, emissary.
John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, John 17: 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
This makes us ambassadors, citizens of another kingdom – heaven but living on the earth, as gateways of heaven on earth, bringing heaven to earth. As ambassadors we take our orders and get our authority from heaven. We are protected by heavenly protection; our provision comes from heaven. We live by the laws of heaven, the economy and political system of heaven. Like the characteristics of an ambassador of the United States or the UK for example based in another country.
The embassy is British soil, protected by British troops, taking orders from Whitehall and representing British interest and operating under British laws and culture. They are in constant contact with the home country and do not operate from personal opinions but orders from HQ.
We are tasked with more than just representing the interests of heaven. As citizens of heaven we carry heaven’s authority, we each have a kingship to exercise and a sphere of life to rule over. We need to demonstrate God’s power and authority through our kingship and expand God’s kingdom.
You represent one kingdom (heaven) in another kingdom (earth). You live by the laws of heaven Ecclesia is like an embassy territory on foreign soil – You are the church. You are protected by heavenly authority.
You are not to be influenced by earthly culture, society, and customs but to influence and transform them. We are the ambassadors of heaven, Sons of Light, Sons of the kingdom, to colonise this world. 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 To terraform earth as it is in heaven.
We live under kingdom authority New Health Service – healing and health. New Economic and Financial services. New education system . New Society – paradise restored. New speech, new attitudes, new ideals, new culture. New behaviours, abilities and powers Heaven transforming the earth.
An embassy will have heavenly mandates and blueprints to enable us to know what to build. An embassy will have a heavenly pattern of government that is representative. Reflection of heaven’s government in a bench of 3, 7 and 12. An embassy has authority which gives it authorization to operate on behalf of heaven. they have authority to speak on behalf of God. You have the supernatural power of heaven at your disposal to demonstrate heaven’s higher authority.
When Rome built its empire it used a key insight to establish its infrastructure and culture. Romans send 300 citizens to invade a territory to set up a Castra to be the influence for dominion . Ekklesia should be a colony of heaven . Colonization is our mission.
Dan 2:35 But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. 44 In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.
Isa 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; … 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 from then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
Jesus came preaching and teaching about the kingdom of God. Many of Jesus’ parables were about the kingdom and its value system Jesus was preparing His disciples to expand the kingdom.
Matt 28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.
Matt 13:24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. Matt 13:37 And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
Matt 13:31 He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; 32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
Matt 13:33 He spoke another parable to them, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.” We are called to infiltrate and influence the world to restore it to original condition and ownership.
Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 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.
Matt 6:10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matt 6:10 Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best – as above, so below.
John 18:37 I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. John 17:18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
Rev 1:6 He has made us to be a kingdom of priests,
Rev 5:10 says we are made to be a kingdom and priests to reign on the earth.
Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Matt 6:10 ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Matt 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
This means living for and from that kingdom first, above everything else and walking by faith. Our sphere of authority is in the heavenly places. The kingdom is within us but is to be manifested though us and around us. Spiritual authority releases natural influence. Whoever is ruling in the spiritual environment has the influence in the natural environment. We each have a sphere of authority over which we are supposed to rule. Individually and together as living stones of this Ecclesia embassy.
1 John 4:17. As He is, so also are we in this world.
What does this mean? What it says is that God is on His throne. God is above all authority. God is engaging and assigning the angelic realm. God is the way, truth and life so we are to be that in the world.
Eph 1:20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
We are ambassadors of heaven on the earth to represent the interests of God’s kingdom We have a higher authority behind us. We are seated with Him in that place of authority. He has positioned us there so that everything is under our feet as His body. With greater authority comes greater responsibility. Higher standards of behavior – love. Representing heaven’s’ superior authority, values, ideals, principles, power, wisdom. The Manifesto of the kingdom is love expressed in righteousness.
Jesus summed everything up in love. Matt 22:37- And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your Neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
