Part 1 introduces God's original plan to extend His kingdom on earth, the strategy
for rulership through spirit-led people, and the identity of sons, citizens, and ambassadors.
The Original Plan
God's intent was to establish a visible kingdom without appearing in the visible realm.
He chose to create a family of offspring to represent Him and execute His invisible kingdom
in the seen world.
Create offspring from His own Spirit.
Offspring would be like God and represent Him on earth.
They would establish and execute His kingdom in the seen world.
Religion is a man-made search; relationship ends the search.
God planned for sons, citizens, and ambassadors, not subjects.
Romans 8:14, Galatians 3:26, Matthew 5:9, Philippians 3:20, Ephesians 2:19,
2 Corinthians 5:20 emphasize sonship, citizenship, and ambassadorship.
The Original Strategy
God chose to rule the seen realm from the unseen realm through the unseen spirit man
living in a seen body on earth. The spirit man communicates through the soul to carry
heaven's will into visible life.
Rule the seen world from the unseen heaven.
Deploy the unseen spirit man in a seen body.
Use spirit-to-spirit communication for kingdom direction.
Bring heaven's will into the visible world.
Creator
God is the creator and King of the kingdom. He owns the seen world but delegates rulership
to mankind. Dominion is part of human design, not domination by other forces.
Genesis 1:1 establishes God as creator of heaven and earth.
God sets standards, rules, and judges all things.
Earth is the domain where mankind rules on God's behalf.
Rulership
God granted rulership, not ownership. The dominion mandate is a management contract,
holding humanity accountable for stewarding the earth by God's standards.
The earth belongs to mankind as a stewardship (Psalm 115:14-16).
Heaven is God's domain; earth is humanity's assignment.
Rulership means accountability to the King's standards.
Prayer
Prayer authorizes heaven's resources to operate on earth. God can do anything, but He works
through the permission given by those with dominion on earth.
"Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not." - John Wesley.
Prayer is business with the unseen government.
We are to be a prayer people, not just attend meetings.
The Mission
The mission is to transform followers into leaders. Kingdom identity calls for leadership
through stewardship, mastery, and dominion in every domain.
Transforming followers into leaders and kings.
Identity rooted as sons of God and royal citizens.
