Focus: Repentance from Dead Works
Part 5: Restoration of Sons and the Kingdom
Greetings Sons of God:
So we see how the fall of man has
lead to chaos and disorder within the earth.
Man tries to rule from his soul as an orphan and only causes strife,
stress and ultimately death. So how does
God seek to restore man from the fallen state.
Let me give you to Scriptures and explain:
Psalm 82:5,6: They know not,
neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of
the earth are out of course. I have
said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High
Malachi 4:5,6: Behold, I will send
you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
Lord: And he shall turn the hearts of
the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers lest
I come and smite the earth with a curse.
The first way that he restores
order to the Earth and restoration of His sons in the Earth. The only way a son can be restored is that He
be “born again” from above. This can only
be done by one repenting and receiving the Spirit of His Son into your heart
and you cry Abba Father – Galatians 4:6.
So it is by faith in Jesus Christ that one is born again into the House
of God. Now the part that we miss is how
these sons are matured into understanding this identity and this is why our
scripture of Malachi 4:5,6 comes into play.
It is by the turning of the hearts
of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers that sons are
matured into their identity as Sons of God.
These fathers are not biological fathers but spiritual fathers because
they are sons that have been matured and God has placed them in His stead over
households to help bring the sons of God to maturity. This Scripture is the last Old Testament
prophecy and it is the first prophecy stated in the New Testament to Zecharias
in Luke 1:17. The reason there is a
need for spiritual fathers is because they are sent to watch over your soul and
by watching over your soul they show you
and teach you how to rule over your soul and master it so that you can hear the
spirit. Remember it is the rule of the
soul that has us in the state that we are in, but it is the rule of the Spirit
that produces God’s perfect will through His sons. As we progress we will come back to the role
of spiritual fathers and dig deeper.
The curse stated in Malachi is not
some voodoo witchcraft but simply the curse is fatherlessness. When there is fatherlessness there is the
rule of children over nations, a lack of discipline and order. Now that is a curse and we can see this in
action today.
Now the reason the restoration of
sons is crucial is because the Father gave the sons the Earth to steward and
rule within the Earth through the power of the Kingdom of God. But the Kingdom cannot come unless there is a
son present to administrate it in the Earth.
This is why Jesus can say
“Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand”
because now there is a son of God in the Earth who the Father’s rule can
come through and rule in the Earth. The
Kingdom of God is the original government of the Earth and the government that
keeps all of creation within the God-ordained order and function.
In the next message we will
explain how to repent from dead works.
Peace, Love and Grace,
