Greetings,
If we want the government of God, we must each have a willing heart for the government of God. To embrace God’s government is to let go of our old way of administrating our lives. Our old administration is one of information whereby we seek a knowledge of good and a knowledge of evil to do what we feel is right according to our own understanding. The government of God is made known through the transformation power of Holy Spirit in our hearts and minds. God’s government is the life of God’s kingdom empowering our lives from within.
Our own lives without Christ, are merely kingdoms of our own will. We are predestined in Christ for something greater. We are predestined in Christ to be expressions of God’s kingdom in our character, nature, way, power, and authority as sons and daughters of God. To receive the will of God, we must trust God more than we trust our own plans. We must trust His way above our own. Unless we are willing to let go of what is ours, we cannot receive what is His.
Mark 8:34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.”
How do we know we can trust God with the secret places of our hearts and minds. We can trust God because He is a loving Father. He is not a God who seeks to control our lives. He doesn’t want to restrain us. He wants to give us more than we can know. He is generous in all of His ways because He is a giver of life in all things. He is our Father and He wants us to be as He is. He wants us to be givers of life to our world. This is true love.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
God appoints leaders in the body of Christ to assist us in embracing the government of God. The government of God is not a Christian structure of leadership or administration. It is a personal relationship with God in each heart to know God intimately and powerfully.
God’s abundant ways are expressions of His love working in us, through us, and for us in all things. The kingdom of God within us is an administration of God’s love. New Covenant leaders embrace the working of God’s love in their own hearts and minds and then they lead others to do the same. The work of God’s love is made real by His manifest presence in us. This is to know Holy Spirit as the person of God’s love. Holy Spirit has been sent in Jesus’ name to cause us to be expressions of God’s heart.
