KING OF KINGS

THE KING OF KINGS
(by David S. Musick)

The KING is Jesus Christ. He is the King of kings. He is; and that's all that matters; that will always be the case, it is "In Him." If we are not IN CHRIST, if we are not part-taking of Him by relationship to Him, if we are not seeking to Know Him and the power out flowing from His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering BEING MADE CONFORMABLE INTO HIS IMAGE; then our assumed power (that we are so excited to possess), is nothing more than wishful venting and therefore meaningless in the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is Christ the Lord. If we are In Him; then we are in the Will of the Father. God sees only His Son. The ministry we receive by the Holy Spirit is His ministry; we are stewards of that Gift or gifts and of that ministry as well. If we are processed by Him in the higher realms of Divine relationship by the Holy Spirit, then we operate in that ministry by Divine Unction to the Glory of the Father and no one else. Our reward in all this is that we are made partakers of Christ and His Kingship in the Kingdom; which is Christ Himself. The Law was to bring us to the Gospel of Grace: Christ is our life and Grace; he came to bring us to the New Covenant, to bring us to John 3:16; “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not parish, but have everlasting life.”

You cannot mix Law and Grace. The 10 commandments had a purpose; the purpose was to show that we needed the Grace of God. The New Covenant is the Grace of God in Jesus Christ. We are under Grace. Grace cannot be balanced with the Law of Sin and Death; the Law of Moses or any other Law. Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Law for us and then introduced His Grace as the standard. Grace super abounds. In Christ, we are made Holy; because we are dead to sin. Grace changes us from the earthly into the heavenly. The will of God is greater than our faith. His will is superior to our will. This is the "Will of God, even your sanctification." Coming into the will of God and submitting to it, sets the believer apart for Divine purpose (Jn, 15; 16; & 17). 

When we are in the "WILL OF GOD", we can expect the Divine Nature of God to be brought into our hearts by the Love of God and that is faith at work. Does having the presence of God operational in the believer by the Holy Spirit make the believer a god or a mini-jesus? Hardly! You are still you, just enlightened and redeemed, washed in the Blood, and made voluntarily submissive to the operation of the Spirit of God. The application of faith is the Will of God and an act of righteousness (Ro. 1:16-17). We then become vessels of God's intentions in the earth. His intentions are to have a people set apart, living, moving and having their being in Him to the praise of His Glory. 

The government of the Ecclesia is under the Lordship of Christ and under the leadership of the Holy Spirit as exercised through all believers in this fellowship. The Overseer/Bishop and the Elders of the Body of Christ operate in the Five-Fold ministry and that is via "Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists, and Teachers" of the true Ecclesia; the Fellowship of believers, (by, in and through the Holy Spirit), will lead the people of God when moved by the Holy Spirit. Any member anointed and used by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the Body, shall minister under an “Open Heaven.” Ministry by the Holy Spirit shall be in balance and in their order. The Five Fold Ministry shall be under an “Open Heaven” as well and not under the dictatorship of a Board of Deacons but subject to the control of the MOVE of GOD and will lead in wisdom and grace and remained prepared “in season and out of season”, ready to bring the Word. These Elders are comprised of those who the Lord has gifted to minister as Elders. The Elders will be assisted in this capacity by the various means of the governmental principles laid down by the Scripture that we regard as fundamental and foundational to what is Biblical to the administration of the local body and its constituency. 

Jesus is King of Kings in all of this and Lord of every reality. The True Ecclesia has been buried; hidden, as it were, from the eyes of the self-righteousness and pomp of the External Church-World and her minions. In the True Revival and Move of God, the Ecclesia will no longer be in the shadows or under the thumb of men and women that have CALLED THEMSELVES into ministry. They are "wanna be" Popes, Preaches, bishops, apostles and so-called prophets and their rule is ended; they have mocked the living God long enough. Their humanistic, educated ministry is a mockery, so-much-so, that what passes itself off as the Church, is not the Church of God. The "Church-World" is not the standard, it is "Mystery Babylon" and she has a "Mother". Christ Himself is the Standard; "there is but 'ONE' God", there are no other gods before Him. Not 'saint' so-in-so, mother Mary, nor apostle this or prophet or [prophetess] that. People that give themselves a title work for another god. 

In the Ecclesia, one operates under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit and in that reality, under that Anointing, the Mantle of that Ministry is yours and Spiritual people will recognize it and Call it What it is whether Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist or Teacher (in that order, by the way). They are all realities found only in relationship to Christ. The Ecclesia is the body of Christ and operates under the authority of the Holy Spirit with Christ as her central government; not tied to a natural State, or Human Governmental entity. God stands alone in Himself. He is the King of Kings.
