You know what? The government is placed upon "His" shoulders, not man's. It is the Lord who carries us and who carries those burden's. It is He who will bring to pass His Word and the Father's will. All we do is come under His authority [be in submission unto Him].
I am reminded of the centurion and his knowledge and understanding of authority. He was under authority, and he used authority to those under him giving them orders. Now, we are not lord's over one another, but, we are lord's over satan! He is the liar and the thief; and it is he that is to be bound and not us! It is only by the Word are we in that proper position/authority under Christ as our Head and by being in Him, for by abiding in Him are we found safe and secure [without fear!]. We have got to stop fearing!

We have faith, but what is it in?

The centurion had an understanding because he abode in what he knew and he used what he knew; he was not wimpy, but strong. We are to be strong in the Lord and in the power of 'His' might! The centurion abode in the law of the Romans [of Rome]; and Caesar was the ruler - he dictated the laws out over the land wherever his regiment went with his commands, to make sure that all was obeyed. We have God's angels at work by the Word of God, not getting what we want, but what God wants! His will! And we are God's ambassadores to the world [lost], but we are also His saints who fight the good fight of faith!
Now, there has been selfishness brought into the church body, but that shall be done away with when our minds are renewed by the Word. They have seen things [material things] come in by using the Word and faith. These things can be used for God's glory when the time is right for a release into the hands of others who will use them rightly. God can move by His Word/command so that His will is done, but we must remain stedfast in the faith and not give up. We must keep asking, seeking, and knocking. The enemy will let loose!

Under the Lord's command we will do great things for He is our King.
Under the Lord's shoulders [His government] we will move 'with' Him.
For right now we have been testing what we know with what little we have, and have prospered in some things, but not in the spiritual..........but that shall surely come!
We have seen, and now we know.

As we submit unto His Kingdom [rule/reign] we will prosper. We will prosper in true Kingdom living [it's a spiritual thing]. His Kingdom is coming, and that is what will be preached! And it will manifest in a taking over this land in the spiritual; but there will be war among those in the natural to rise up against us to try and kill us with their words and laws by their hate against the Word of God which is in us. The devil will use these ones against us [and will we be able to say as Stephen and the Lord did: forgive them for they know not what they do?]. But God is with us! And we have a better place to live forever.

Praise the Lord!

The New Jerusalem comes at the end, for it is our reward, to be with the Lord forever. It is a place that is wonderful.
Even though satan be released after those thousand years, God still triumphs!
As Jesus comes on that white horse with His banner, He is prepared for war! He comes with fiery eyes and a sword in His mouth! We must be prepared for His coming. We don't know how fast all this will take place, but God comes!

God is good.
Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.
Praise His Holy Name. How sweet Jesus is. :)
Come and taste, and see how the Lord is good.
