Kingdom Law

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
(Psa 89:34)

God has established His word as an unmovable, unshakable law. Whatever He has said is irrevocable, regardless of when or where He said it.

For I am the LORD, I change not...
(Mal 3:6)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
(Heb 13:8)

This should be a source of great comfort to me for it establishes, without controversy, the parameters for flowing in the power and promise of God’s earthly Kingdom. But as I examine these laws, I find myself in violation of some. And just as the natural laws that govern the flow of electricity cannot be violated without consequence, the Spiritual laws that govern the Kingdom must also be in alignment to avoid short circuiting the flow of God’s Presence into my life.

Without faith it is impossible to please God… (Heb 11:6)

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema) of God.
(Rom 10:17)

…whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
(Mar 11:23)

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
(Jas 2:17)

I’ve heard and continue to hear rhema from God. It has produced in me a true faith which I do my best to live by. But the law that says to “speak to the mountain” or speak directly to my circumstance (health, finances, relationships etc.) has been repeatedly violated by me, as has the mandate from James to add “works” or action to my faith. The Lord is revealing to me how this failure to complete the “circuit” is blocking access to the flow of His Spirit and promises into my life.

I can’t simply pick and choose which of God’s laws I will obey. There are serious consequences for approaching a Holy God in such an unholy way. I must understand and practice the whole law if I want to see the whole Kingdom unfold in and through my life.

This is not legalism. This is the way things work in the Kingdom of Heaven. If I call myself a citizen of this Kingdom, then I’d be wise to understand and honor all of its laws and protocols, both for my safety, as obedience to these laws denies satan access to me, and for my effectiveness as a witness of Christ and His eternal Kingdom.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
(Psa 1:1-3)
