The Gospel of the Kingdom includes salvation, but it’s primarily about becoming a son. More here. The good news is that sons operate in their Father’s purpose and power, they have access to the courts and council of Heaven, and they inherit their Father’s Kingdom (including mountains and nations). The concepts of salvation and church growth are not being left behind, but they are byproducts of a much bigger Kingdom picture. Sons bring heaven to earth, and they are instrumental in the birthing reformation in people, the cultural 7 mountains, and nations. It has always been in God’s heart to work through His Sons – an all-volunteer army. Jesus didn’t give His life just so you could be saved and go to heaven, he paid for your sonship. and the work you will do on earth.

Ps 139:15-16 – My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. NIV

Eph 2:10 – For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. NIV

Sons carry a special anointing (9 of them in fact). It’s so exciting, you’ll want to become one yourself. Sons carry these nine spiritual anointings from heaven as force multipliers or earth that make a huge difference in business. You have been chosen and are invited to co-labor with Father to build His Kingdom. Here’s what those anointings feel like:

Father – The Father anointing pulls sons into their book. Apostolic fathers have a clear characteristic: they help others clarify their book prophetically and help make the dream come true practically. Spiritual fathers see, choose, anoint, ordain, and release sons into their sweet spot.
Note that God is a spirit and so are we (in some sense that we don’t fully grasp). Truthfully our relationship with all nine of these personalities cannot be purely intellectual. These interactions touch our hearts prophetically.
            John 4:24 – For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. TLV

Jesus – The redemptive anointing sons carry sets captives free to be themselves in their identity. Sons have the keys to access heaven’s courts and council to fellowship with their Father and see what He is doing so they can do it with Him. Jesus paid a price so that we could be friends, brothers, sons, kings, priests… “family.”

John 1:12 – But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: KJV

Rom 8:14-17 – because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God… Now if we are sons, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ... NIV

Rom 8:28-30 – For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. NIV

Holy Spirit – Sons carry the spirit of God and prophetically release His word and His glory wherever they go. Like Jesus, they have power and authority for signs and wonders and even greater works.

Wisdom – Sons see the purpose and strategy behind what their Father is doing. They can translate heaven to earth and see God’s big picture in governments, businesses, nations, and reformation. They are awake!

Understanding – Sons can translate strategy from wisdom and “understand” tactics. They know how to apply the Father’s purpose in their lives and their business. They can co-labor in both spiritual and practical realms to create miracles in healing and wealth in business. They are in touch with the riches of their inheritance – the Kingdom.

Counsel – Sons make good counselors, mentors, guides, and Fathers because they have access to Heaven’s courts and council. They are part of the strategy of heaven. They see it in heaven first and do it on earth second. The spirit of counsel pulls the curtain back on “my story” and answers the question of how I fit in God’s plan; what is my legacy; Kingdom assignment?

Might / Valor – Sons are God’s valiant ones who have the brazen courage to do great exploits. They are not presumptive or self-assured. They are very confident in their Father’s direction, and they operate in Jesus’ name because they see themselves as part of Heaven’s family and they own their Father’s purpose and plan.

Knowledge – This relational insight into the Father’s heart gives sons the authority for leadership. They are a strength to the weary and the weak; a shoulder to lean on. They know how to lift burdens and get people off the worldly treadmill of working harder and harder to Qualify – for Nothing. Sons know how to soar on eagle’s wings.

Fear of the Lord – Sons see the sonship in other people. Sons can discern the books and callings in the lives of others, and they naturally honor and encourage those gifts and assignments. Sons create a Kingdom culture of honor. They see the good in people who were created in God’s image, and they can help discern what Father has written in their hearts.

OK John, I’m open to carrying Father, Son, and the 7 Spirits of God. HOW?
Go the the Council, hear what they are saying, see what they are doing, and receive their impartation.
Bring it back when you come. We wrote Seers and Doers and put up the Seers and Doers course to help.

Ecclesia and Sons

These links below are both fringe people/groups who question the current concept of church. They probably go too far; their point is the passiveness of the institutional church. But what you can glean from their position is that the ecclesia are sons who have authority to rule in the sense of bringing heaven to earth. I would say it this way, “Sons engage a governmental assembly in the courts and council of Heaven and bring Reformation to the here and now on earth!”

from https://apostolic-council.org/2021/03/30/the-ecclesia-versus-the-church/

As Long As We Keep Calling The Church The Ecclesia, We Will Neither Produce Or See The Glory! The Church Is An Impostor, A Counterfeit! The True Identity Of The Ecclesia Is The Sons Of God. Only The Sons Carry The D.N.A Of The Father! Everybody Is Not The Ecclesia! God Reserves For Himself A Remnant.  Study The Prophetic Nature And Pattern Of The Sons Of Issachar!

This Roman creation called the church does not fit the pattern and never has. We are still trying to force God to accept a perverse, idolatrous, corrupt system that He neither gave birth to nor authorized. Until we accept that God Infused the Blueprint of the Kingdom into the DNA of creation itself, we will never understand Sonship, reveal the glory, or manifest the Kingdom. It will never come through the abominable perversion that religion is calling the church. That is not the Kingdom nor can it produce the Kingdom!

from http://www.aggressivechristianity.net/articles/ecclesia.htm

Now, let’s look at the word, “ecclesia”. This Greek word appears in the New Testament approximately 115 times. That’s just in this one grammatical form. It appears also in other forms. And in every instance, except three, it is wrongly translated as “church” in the King James Version. Those three exceptions are found in Acts 19:32, 39, 41. In these instances the translators rendered it “assembly” instead of “church.” But, the Greek word is exactly the same as the other 112 entries where it was changed to “church” wrongly.

In Acts 19, “ecclesia” is a town council: a civil body in Ephesus. Thus, the translators were forced to abandon their fake translation in these three instances. Nonetheless, 112 times they changed it to “church.” This fact has been covered-up under centuries of misuse and ignorance. The Greek word “ecclesia” is correctly defined as: “The called-out (ones)” [ECC = out; KALEO = call]. Thus, you can see how this word was used to indicate a civil body of select (called, elected) people.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica:

In the New Testament, “ecclesia” (signifying convocation) is the only single word used for church. It (ecclesia) was the name given to the governmental assembly of the city of Athens, duly convoked (called out) by proper officers and possessing all political power including even juridical functions.

 

Matt 24:45-47 – “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. NIV

1 Cor 6:1-6 – Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?  NASU

2 Tim 2:12 – if we endure, we will also reign with him. NIV

Rev 2:26-29 – To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—  ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. NIV

Rev. 5:10 – And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth. NKJV

Rev 20:6 – they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. NIV

 

Verses for Sons and Inheritance

One of God’s biggest initiatives is moving Servants to Sons

Matt 16:15-19 – “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church (ecclesia), and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” NIV

Luke 12:29-33 – And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. NIV

Rom 8:19 – For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. KJV

Rom 8:28-30 – And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. NIV

1 John 3:1-2 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. KJV

Rev 21:7 – He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. KJV

Sons have an inheritance from their Father

Lev 20:24 – But I said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from the nations.NIV

12 God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. 13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 14 The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him. NLV

 

Listen to the way Jesus and Paul said it:

John 5:17 – Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.” NIV
John 14:10 – it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work NIV
John 14:12-14 – anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. NIV
Eph. 2:10 – For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do NIV
Phil. 2:13 – For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. NIV

We’re not just servants doing what the Father tells us to do. Sons carry the Father’s heart and aren’t afraid of their own initiative. Like their Father God and the firstborn Son (Jesus), we can create and loose His Kingdom on earth. Sons operate in mountains, and their influence goes far beyond sermons. We’re here to redeem nations!

Rev 4:1 – “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” NIV

Ps 84:7 “They go from strength to strength, every one of them appears before God in Zion.”  NASU

John 5:19-21 – “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these.”  NIV

Matt 16:19-20 – “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” NASB
