Culture of Righteous Rule
Today’s Focus: The Eternal Pattern of the Father for the Sons
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:28
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now I know this topic is unique and you may ask what is the “eternal pattern”? Before God even created the earth, God knew everything that would be and how it would end. God knew the end from the beginning. God knew that man would sin and be separated from Him. God knew that man would give rule in the earth over to a fallen angel. God also knew that man would have to be saved to fulfill the eternal purpose and hence the Lamb was slain before the foundations of the world but let’s look at this pattern that God is using to bring the Sons of God to their eternal purpose.
The pattern for the process is to begin in eternity, proceed in time, but end in eternity. Now let me give you a great example of this.
The Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world (eternity)
Jesus Christ is the Lamb slain at Calvary (time)
All power and authority in Heaven and Earth is given to Christ Jesus by the Father (eternity)
This entire process ends when Jesus Christ hands up all things to God the Father and the Father will be all in all. Sound weird? Let’s see:
1 Corinthians 5:28: And when all things shall be subdued unto Him (Jesus Christ), then shall the Son (Jesus Christ) also Himself be subject unto Him (Father) that put all things under Him (Jesus), THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL.
So that is the end of the matter, God being all He is, in all of us being unrestrained by who He is in. All of the divine mandates and intents of the Trinity is concluded in the eternal. How about this thought. Did we not come from eternity? Where are we now? In time. What is our end existence? The eternal. Do we see the pattern?
God in all of His patience waits for righteous men to get right-aligned with heaven and when God finds a man willing to walk by faith and build what He (Father) has on His mind, God then pours out His power and authority (grace) that is needed in that season that will guarantee the outcome of that particular substance. This substance is the Law of the House of God.
In the next message we will look at the Law of the House of God.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
