Kingdom Code of Ethics!

Grace be unto you kingdom citizens and peace be multiplied to you as you walk worthy of the LORD unto all pleasing and being fruitful in every good work.

As we in the body of Christ are realizing that the End Time harvest is here, I have a bone to pick with the kingdom citizens.  Usually I minister and teach in areas of kingdom building and expanding the knowledge of the kingdom of God.  Today, however, I want to talk about how we’ve gradually ignored the Word of God more and more where sin is concerned.  We seem to have elevated our minds over our spirits where the Word is concerned.  Just because our President agrees that same sex marriage should be legalized and sanctioned does not mean the church has to put up with it.  Stand up Body of Christ and proclaim the Word on the matter.

We must bring our thoughts to the obedience of the Blessing.  The kingdom code of ethics is the standard of conduct established by the King (God) for the behavior of the social relationships of his citizens. This is also the expectation of the King regarding the values and morale standards the citizens must adhere to. The code of ethics becomes the foundation of the kingdom culture and manifests itself in the lifestyle of its citizens. We cannot compromise our stand for excellence where spiritual matters are concerned.

"Don't you know that wicked people won't inherit the kingdom of God? Stop deceiving yourselves! People who continue to commit sexual sins, who worship false gods, those who commit adultery, homosexuals,  or thieves, those who are greedy or drunk, who use abusive language, or who rob people will not inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor 6:9-10 (GW) Gods Word Translation

Let’s look at one more version of this verse from the English Standard Version (ESV.)

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,  nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."  1 Cor 6:9-10 (ESV)

Just in case you didn't get it from the first version, you should get it from the second.  It is apparent that there are a group of people who think same sex marriage in the church is acceptable and that those who practice homosexuality should be accepted in the church. Let me say this right now.  Everyone is accepted into the body of Christ.  What they do, however, does matter to God and He has declared what is unacceptable and no one can change it no matter who says any different.  When satan can get you to doubt the integrity of the Word he has persuaded you to bite the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.  God would be contradicting Himself if He created you to be homosexual and then tell you it's wrong!  People who just play church think like this.  God has not created you or anyone else to be homosexual but God has given grace to overcome it!

"My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."  2 Cor 12:9 (KJV)

I don't have time to elaborate on what the thorn in Pauls flesh was but whatever your thorn may be there is grace for that.  Glory in your weakness so that the power of The Blessing can rest on you.  God is expecting His values and morals to be adhered to and acted upon.  The kingdom of God has a code of ethics and it is dangerous to compromise the standards God has given for us to uphold.  Everything God gives us is for our good not His.  The code of ethics are for us not Him.

Paul said for us not to be deceived and that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God and Jesus said to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  We have to make a quality decision that the kingdom of God is real and to stay on the side of the kingdom and do things God’s way.  The kingdom of God is not liberal nor conservative.  The kingdom of God is joy, peace and righteousness in the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost will not tell people to compromise to sin against the kingdom! The Holy Ghost is the Governor of the kingdom and we are the government. Now I wouldn't have imagined that I would need to say this to the body of Christ but here we are:

"Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." 1 Cor 15:34 (KJV)

The benefits of the kingdom far outweigh the pleasures of sin for a season.  Healing is a blessing of the kingdom and Paul said that those who do such things will not inherit healing, joy or peace.  Make no mistake about it.  Those who practice homosexuality don't have the peace that Jesus said He gives to us because this is heart peace not circumstantial peace.  Have a look at this verse:

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9 (KJV) Homosexuality is a sin.  

"Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." 1 Cor. 6:18

"For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." 1 John 3:20-22 (KJV)

The church will embrace everyone but the church will NEVER embrace the sin.  Homosexuality is in the same category as embezzlers and thieves.  If a pedophile came in the church saying to embrace him and allow him to work in children’s church but stating that he will not stop because God made him this way we would never put up with that.  If a thief came to join the church saying he wanted to work in the finance office but will not stop stealing because he was born this way we would consider that nonsense right?  Well the same applies to same sex marriages.  They want the same rights as the ones who obey the Word.  Prisoners forfeit their rights through the action they took when committing the crime.  Likewise those who practice homosexuality thinking God made them that way are self-deceived and therefore God is greater than their heart and knows all things.

God’s will is to heal anyone that comes to Him through Jesus The Blessing.  Jesus is able to save anyone who comes to God through Him for He said "I Am the Way, The Truth and The Life... No one comes to the Father except by me." John 14:6. Look at what Paul said about those who once practiced these sins listed above:

"And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Cor. 6: 11

Paul said they are now washed, sanctified and justified through The Blessing on Jesus.  Now they have the capacity to receive the grace of redemption to override the lust of the flesh because the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can now quicken their mortal bodies and give them the law of the spirit of Life.  They now have a renewed fellowship with God Almighty and have unlimited access by faith to pray and pay vows unto God!  Look at one of the confessions I make daily to our Father that controls my environment for the blessings of goodness!

"We have our delight in you Almighty and we lift our face unto you. We have made our prayer to you and we pay our vows, therefore when we decree things Ur light shines upon our ways today because U R good and your mercy endures forever!"  I confess this from Job 22: 26-28

If I were you I would make this confession before the Lord as well because we are now renewed to fellowship without the sense of guilt inferiority and condemnation! Oh how good it is to not have our heart condemn us and be treated as if we have NEVER sinned!

I trust that this Word of Faith message has blessed you and your bible study group!  Thank you for all the gifts of love and praise reports!  Please consider the benefits of being a kingdom partner and help us reach the world with the Gospel of The Kingdom so that the end can come!  

Loretta and I love you and remember:
The Blessing is too everyone but is only ON the believer!  Praise the God of the increase!
