The Government Shall Be Upon His Shoulders

Ho Saints,

 

 

Remember the text in Isaiah 9:6-7; 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.  NKJV 

 

 

As long as I have been alive the focus has been on the bad news and not the good, this is true with news from Christians as well secular news outlets.  There is a lot of good news to share both in the realm of Christianity and in the secular realm.  Here are a couple of examples of Good news:

 

 

Example 1. My friend Harold Eberle shared with me that the rate of people being saved now exceeds the birth rate.  This means that with each and every day there are less and less people who are not born again.  The effect of the Gospel wherever it is preached is to bring life and prosperity and this truth is being noticed even by those outside Christianity.  

Example 2. There is a video you can watch on You Tube that clearly demonstrates the progress of humanity in the last 200 years. I do not believe that it is merely coincidental that where Christ is preached the world improves. It is also true that where the church ceases to declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ, substituting a gospel of false religion in its place the health and welfare of that places begins to slow down and ultimately it will recede if revival doesn't come.

Isaiah the prophet was right.  The Government is upon his shoulder.  For 2000 years the stone cut out of a mountain without hands has been crushing the kingdoms of men while at the same time establishing HIS own Kingdom (Dan 2:27-45).  Every Born Again Believer carries within him the Kingdom of God (Lk 17:20-21) The numbers of born again believers have increased exponentially across the face of the earth. The Kingdom of God is expanding and the Government is upon HIS shoulders.  As a minister of the Gospel who has been a Pastor for over 30 years I can say to you with certainty that in most churches the Government is not upon his shoulders. It is upon the shoulders of those who lead with their own understanding on by being led by the Anointed One, Jesus the Christ. They are too busy doing things for HIM that they have missed out on His invitation to do things with HIM.  The end result is that HIS Holy Spirit is given very little room to do HIS will in the saints within the Church. I know their have been times when the saints have messed up in the name of God, but the answer to that is to deal with the individual who made the mess, not to make rules that prohibit the moving of the spirit in others.

Right now the Holy Spirit is brooding over the waters of the church and He is calling out to all who are in leadership and beckoning them to come and ride on the wings of HIS Wind. It is time for Jesus’ words spoken to Nicodemus in John 3:8 to be fulfilled in the lives of all the saints - The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." NKJV

The Government shall be upon HIS shoulders, the saints are going to be governed by the Lord. They are going to ride on the wings of the Holy Spirit winds led by God, leaning not on their own understanding, Consider this passage in Zechariah 10:2-5. “… the people wend their way like sheep; They are in trouble because there is no shepherd. 3 "My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the goatherds. For the Lord of hosts will visit His flock, The house of Judah, And will make them as His royal horse in the battle. 4 From him comes the cornerstone, From him the tent peg, From him the battle bow, From him every ruler together. 5 They shall be like mighty men, Who tread down their enemies In the mire of the streets in the battle. They shall fight because the Lord is with them…” NKJV

A mighty church is about to arise, they will not arise as lost sheep who need a shepherd they will arise as HIS Royal Horse in the battle.  Yee Haw! Even so come Lord Jesus!
