Kingdom DNA: Speaking the Language of the Kingdom

Author

Introduction

…because as he [Jesus] is, so are we in this world. 1John 4:17

It is finished. The new covenant is in full force and full effect. It is completed, accomplished, fulfilled and receipted as paid in full. Jesus Christ did all that was required of Him to mediate and ratify the restoration of order to man, as it was in the beginning. If this matter is not settled, man has no realistic hope. Man would have no realistic expectation to experience all the provisions of the Word as true in his life without further action by Jesus Christ. But praise God, you can rest in the fact that this new covenant is forever settled in heaven and earth. Nothing else has to be done. Nothing else is going to be done to settle the matter - because it is finished!

In His great exchange on the cross, Jesus Christ took upon Himself:

1) all that man was, in his separated state from God

2) all that man had in store, without hope in Christ

3) all that man could do, which is nothing righteous apart from God.

In return, He gave man:

1) all He is, as one with the Father

2) all He has, in power and authority

3) all He can do, for without Him nothing was made that was made.

Then, upon satisfying the legal requirement of death to ratifyman’s inheritance in this new covenant, He picked up His life again and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven.

This book is built on the foundation that Jesus Christ settled all matters pertaining to man (spirit, soul and body), and all matters pertaining to His creation (eternal and temporal), on the cross. Since there is nothing left to be done to seal our inheritance, it is now up to us. All who have received Jesus Christ and the price He paid on the cross as finished are now required to take possession of all the promises bestowed to them.

Why keep emphasizing the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross? Because, it IS finished! Your faith in this truth is the foundation for you being able to rise up as sons and daughters of the Most High God. It is the foundation for you to walk in every provision of your inheritance, here and now on earth. Whenever you think of Jesus Christ and the cross, know that you are not only the redeemed of the Lord, but also that your destiny is paid in full. Know that your inheritance now rests on your ability to take possession of everything that has been willed by Blood covenant to you through Jesus Christ. The price has been paid, every provision has been settled, and all is yours. It is now up to you to resolve the matter as finished and forever settled in your heart and mind so that you can enjoy the full benefit.

This book is for believers, but there is supernatural power in a body of believers coming together in unity and speaking the same thing in one accord. There is supernatural power in a Kingdom minded Body of Christ becoming fitly joined together and fully functioning in the earth. This book is for pastors, teachers and leaders who desire to see their people partake of the fullness of their Kingdom inheritance. It is for personal and corporate Bible study. It is for all believers who know there has to be more to the abundant life in Christ than they are currently experiencing. It is for believers who desire to see restoration of God’s order, manifestation of the Kingdom of God, and His sons and daughters walking in full power, dominion and authority, here on earth.

Your DNA is the map of the genetic code of your life. It is the molecular basis that transmits your heredity. You are born of God, by the Body and Blood of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. You are engrafted with the Living Word of God. The life force of Jesus, His Blood, flows through you. His Blood, rich with all the inherent attributes, authority and ability is in you. Your DNA speaks to who you are in Christ. You are God’s voice in the earth. You have Kingdom DNA. Speak what the Word of God says about you, about all that pertains to you. Search the scriptures, continuously, to discover and add to the map of whom you are, what you have, and all you can do in Christ Jesus.

There is a principle in the Kingdom of God: The more you give, the more you have, because God multiplies what you give, and adds it back to you. Share Jesus Christ and the gospel of the Kingdom, by His grace, through your faith. Give your faith away to others. Share the life in you with others. Give to establish His Kingdom. Give to have abundant supply. You are salt and light in the earth with all covenant authority and ability. And, above of all, you know the answerto all of the world’s questions - Jesus Christ.

The promises of God are to all believers who choose to believe that His Word is not just true, but true in their own lives. Be Kingdom minded - don’t be alarmed by those who insinuate that such great authority in God is not possible, that it was for a prior dispensation, or that it only comes with office or title. The promises in God’s Word are to whosoever will. When people ask, Who do you think you are? or, By what authority do you do such things? simply declare this:

"I am who the Word of God says I am, I have all that

the Word of God says I have, and I can do everything

that the Word of God says I can do; in Christ Jesus!"

Know that this new covenant is a spiritual contract. Spiritual laws are of God. They are higher than the laws of man. That which God has joined and established together in covenant, let no man put asunder.

Rise up and build His Kingdom here on earth, now!

The King and His Kingdom

Chapter One

The King of the Kingdom

"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to

give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32

There was, is and will forever be a King. He is one King, yet three separate and distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son - Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. They are separate, yet one. This King speaks and while He is yet speaking, His Word goes forth to accomplish that which He has spoken. His voice is so powerful that it walked in the garden in the beginning. His Word cannot return void. He was there before the beginning, and in the beginning He created the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them. He is the source of all things, and in Him all things exist and consist.

In His eternal love, God made man in His image and likeness to share in His great creation - the heavens, the earth, and all within them. He was pleased with all of His creation, except for man, in whom He was well pleased. God gave dominion on earth to man, instructing him to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, and assigned him the job to dress and keep the garden. He communed with man daily, to fellowship and to impart wisdom and knowledge.

The all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere present King gave man dominion, knowing from the beginning that man would treat this responsibility casually and give his authority to a usurper, the devil. But God, the great I Am That I Am, the loving Father, had a plan to redeem and reconcile man back to Himself, and restore order as it was.

The King’s provision for man’s redemption was, is, and will forever be Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) Unto us a child was born and a Son is given, and the government of the Kingdom, without end, shall be upon His shoulders. All things were made by and for Him, and in Him is Life, and that Life is the light of men.

And, Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52) He is our example of walking through life in victory and the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our inheritance, the first born of many brethren. He taught us to ask the Father whatsoever we will in His Name. He taught us that we should believe we receive it, and we shall have it. He taught us to speak to mountains and see them removed. He taught us to speak the Word only.

In the foreknowledge of God, who knows the end of all things then backs up to initiate the beginning, He implemented a plan to restore His intended order to creation. And in God’s time, Jesus endured the sin and shame of the cross. He died and was buried. He took back the keys of death, hell, and the grave, and bruised the devil’s head in doing so. Jesus, the mediator of a new and better covenant, the Living Word, rose again with all power and authority in His hand. He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.

In Jesus, we are cleansed from all sin yesterday, today and forever. We are healed and set free. He is the only door to the Father, and He is the Good Shepherd. To all who will abide in Him, the True Vine will abide in them and bring forth much fruit. His finished work on the cross restores all who believe on the Name of Jesus back to authority and power. More importantly, we are restored back to a relationship of fellowship with the Father, as it was in the beginning. In Jesus, we can walk in the fullness of the covenant, as the sons and daughters of God and as joint heirs.

After His work on the cross was finished and He ascended to heaven, Jesus sent us a Helper: A Teacher, the Anointing. He knew that man would need instruction and power to walk out this life in victory, as He had on earth. The Holy Spirit came to live in us as evidence that we are now one in God. His Spirit rests upon us to empower us to be and do all that He requires. The Holy Spirit gives us power to witness of Jesus, to be living epistles known and read of men. We have the power to walk in one voice and one accord with no divisions among us. He gives us power to prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions of wonders in heaven and earth.

Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the hearts of men are drawn to Jesus Christ. He gives gifts to men for the effectual working of the Body, and by His Spirit we are all one Body in Christ. The Spirit reveals truth to us, and empowers us to be who we are, receive all that our inheritance provides, and achieve all we have been destined to do, in Christ Jesus.

Unlike an earthly king, our King is personally vested in our lives. He has predestined the plans for our lives, our steps, and the grace needed for success. But, the choice to follow His path is solely up to us. God desires not only to be a part of our lives, but to be the center of our lives. He wants to be the center of our relationships, and of all our endeavors. He is the center of the three-fold cord that binds us to our destiny, our family, all we are, and all we do.

Our King’s love for us is to all who have lived, now live and are yet to be born. He was compelled by this love to lay down His life as payment for the sins of the world. When he rose from death, we rose with him - forgiven, whole, and victorious. His great love for us is unconditional.

Our King laid down His life for us to possess the power, authority, and dominion intended for man from the beginning. He laid down His life so we could exercise dominion to take authority over our lives, situations, and surroundings on earth to further advance and establish His Kingdom. He laid down His life so that we could walk, in this life, as if walking in heaven on earth. This is the environment intended for man as it was in the Garden of Eden. He laid down His life so it would be where man thought a thing and it was so; where man spoke a thing and saw what he spoke; and, where man had dominion over every place the soles of his feet tread. This is the inheritance that God has bestowed on all those who choose to partake of the promises and provisions of His covenant.

Jesus did more than pay the price to redeem man, make us whole and set
