Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.

The Government, the rule, the reign, the will, the power, the majesty of Almighty God will be seen by all, and His authority, splendour, justice and grace will never ever end. What a wonderfully exciting prospect for all those who have surrendered their lives to Jesus. Those who are now children of God, with nothing to fear regarding the future, filled with an eager anticipation of eternity. Of a life full of peace and joy, love and fulfillment.

Scripture gives us some insight as to what Heaven will be like, a place where there is no sorrow or pain, no sickness or death, no anger or hatred. A place of rich beauty and contentment. There are times I believe that God desires us to just sit and let our imaginations run wild with the delights and adventures that await us. Yet the Bible also shows us that at least in a large measure we can see and experience heaven now. Jesus was the living proof that the Government of Heaven could be experienced on earth. There was nothing that limited Jesus, he did extraordinary miracles that were natural to him, they appeared amazing to those around because they were governed by the kingdom of this world, their senses and expectations were limited, blinded to the reality of a superior Kingdom.

Colossians 1:12-13 says the Father has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. We have been translated from an evil demonic kingdom ruled by the devil and given an inheritance in God’s kingdom, a government that brings life, liberty and joy. That transformation gives us amazing advantages in life, it positions us for success, it qualifies us as agents of God’s kingdom releasing kingdom life wherever we go.

Romans 5:17 says those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. We were born again, made new creations so that we would reign. Reigning speaks of rulership and authority. Jesus showed us clearly what is was to reign in this life., bringing the reality of another Government on the earth.

Romans 8:19 says creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. We are not to remain as mere immature children, but we are to rise as mature Sons of God, as we gain revelation of His Governmental authority that is now resident in us, as we walk in faith in the power of the Holy Spirit in us, as we access the inheritance we have in this heavenly kingdom, we will see more of His kingdom become reality, doing the very same things that Jesus did. All creation is waiting for us to arise. The time is now.
