The Universal Government of God 14

The throne of God’s authority is in the heavens. The kingdom of the
heavens is the reign of the heavens where God dwells; it is the rule of the
heavens. The New Testament begins with the gospel of Matthew concerning
the kingdom of the heavens, which strictly speaking, is a section in the
kingdom of God. The church life in its reality is our corporate living under
the rule of the heavens. That is the reality of the church.

God’s Dominion Being an Eternal Dominion and His Kingdom
Being from Generation to Generation

Daniel 4:34-35 says, “For His dominion is an eternal dominion / And
His kingdom is from generation to generation…He does according to His
will in the army of heaven/ And among the inhabitants of the earth.” From
November, 2016 until now there has been chaos in the politics in Washington
D.C. So many people refuse to accept the fact that this man, Donald Trump,
got elected to be president. From the day he was elected, some said, “We’re
going to impeach him and get him out.” So now this is what they are working
on. My view of this is not Republican, not Democrat, and not political; it is
God’s government. “God, You put in power the persons You choose.” So
here I am in the Philippines, I have no opinion about the ruler of the country.
I simply respect. This is the man in charge, this is the government, and we
believe the heavens rule this. Study Romans 13. Among the inhabitants of
the earth, God does this mainly silently. My prayer this morning was just a
little prayer: “Lord, do You want to keep this man in office or not? I agree
with You. If You want to keep him there, Your will be done. If You want to
do something else, Your will be done.” I vote for God! I am a theocrat; that
is, the “God party”.
Daniel 4:35 continues, “there is no one who can resist His hand / Or
say to Him, What are You doing?” But actually, many rebellious ones in the
United States do not realize they are saying this to God. They are godless
people whether they are religious or not. Even many of the dear brothers and
sisters in the churches, their soul is in this fallen realm. They themselves need
to see this is God’s government here. Honor God’s government.
