LOVE THIS TRUTH THANK YOU FATHER GOD. AMEN ! The Kingdom of God is an unstructured Kingdom because it cannot be “built,” “assembled,” “formed,” or “produced” by the wisdom or ability of man nor by any external exercise, handicraft, workmanship, management, control, administration or governance. The Kingdom is only by life and out of life. Though the word of the Kingdom be spoken and imparted into your life by man, just as the seed is planted in the earth by man, the germination, growth, development and result is all the work of life. Both the foundation and superstructure of the Kingdom are the result of the reign of God within our hearts. The Kingdom is not, nor will it ever be, a political institution or outward organization controlled and dominated by a president, prime minister, senate, parliament, mayor, council, police force, army, pastor, apostle, bishop, or organizational headquarters. The dominion that God uses in His theocracy is something altogether different. The Kingdom is God’s authority by the Spirit versus Babylon’s authority by system and hierarchy. The Kingdom is God’s government by the flow of His life vs. the governments of the world by law and force. When men speak, act, and minister out of the anointing they express and manifest the wisdom, power and glory of the Kingdom of God. That is not structure — that is LIFE! If you were Jesus and realized that you were going to leave the earth and return into the heavens, surely you would have made arrangements with those who were going to carry on your work and establish your church. It would seem to us, naturally and religiously speaking, that after His resurrection, when the Lord Jesus planned a special meeting with His chosen apostles on a mountain in Galilee, that meeting would have been a very long meeting filled with much teaching and many detailed instructions. We know that He was shortly to ascend into heaven, and how logical it would be for Him to seize this opportunity to pass on many counsels, directions, recommendations, directives, guidelines, and regulations for His disciples to follow after His departure. Surely He would dictate to them the creeds, doctrinal statements, liturgies, how to organize local churches, methods for ordaining elders and selecting deacons, with specifics about church finance, church programs, delegated authority and the chain of command in the assemblies. One would think the Lord would need to schedule a three week work-shop with His disciples. But to our amazement, instead of a three week work-shop, He appears but briefly and delivers an 88 word memo! “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Lk. 24:49; Mat. 28:18-20).
