1 John 5:14-15 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked him for."

When this verse says He hears us, it is not talking about hearing us audibly as in hearing our words through sound waves; it is talking about Him taking the case. Think of a judge who hears a case to ensure that justice is done. The courtroom and the judge are there to ensure that justice is done. The courtroom and the judge are there to insure that justice is available to every citizen. The judge's decision is not based on his feelings but based on the law which he presides over to enforce for every citizen. The judge is there to ensure that justice (the enforcement of law) has taken place according to the written law. In God's case, His throne (the place of authority) and His power are there to ensure justice (the enforcement of His will) to all men who come to Jesus and His Kingdom.


Please read that statement again very slowly and let it bounce off of your current view of God. Most people feel that God makes His decisions on a case-by-case basis, but that is not true. He is the King of the Kingdom with laws that do not change. He does not and will not make decisions outside of His law. Thus we can know what His law answer will be before we ask, and we can be certain that we have what His law says before we can see it because He has the power to carry out the enforcement of His law.


As Drenda (Gary's wife) and I began to learn of our legal rights in the Kingdom, it dramatically changed how we thought about God and the Bible. The result of our new understanding was changed lives. No more begging. No more pleading. We learned what God said was legally already given to us as citizens of His Kingdom. We just needed to continue to learn how to legally lay claim to what was legally ours and release it in the earth realm. Think of cashing a check. Although you may have a lot of money in your checking account, there is a legal process by which you lay claim to the money and cash the check. There is a process in any legal system whereby we lay legal claim to something, even if we already own it.


2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of his who called us by hisown glory and goodness."


It is a kingdom! Those that are citizens of the Kingdom have the same rights as anyone else who is a citizen in the Kingdom. It is important that we understand this point: Kingdoms operate by laws and laws do not change. Why is this important? It is important because it means that if the Kingdom works and operates based on unchanging laws, then there is no respect of persons in the Kingdom. Instead, everyone in the Kingdom has the same right to enjoy the operation of Kingdom law on their behalf just and any other person in the Kingdom can.

Here is where things get a little confused in the church world. Most Christians think that God arbitrarily decides what He wants to do in someone’s life. In other words they think that God chooses to bless someone and not someone else. They think God allows things to happen to people that they have no control over. They think He will heal one person and not another. Most Christians beg for God to help them when He has already done all He is going to do to help them. He gave them the Kingdom, all the Kingdom!



To gain a basic understanding of the Kingdom law, we must understand this primary and foundational point” God gave Adam compete jurisdiction over the earth. He was to rule over it.

Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky, over the livestock, and over the creatures that move along the ground.’”

--Genesis 1:26

I think Hebrews 2:7-9 makes it very clear:

You made him a little lower than the angels: you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet. In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him.

At least for now, understand that God cannot exercise His authority in the earth realm (in the Kingdom of men) unless a man or woman who has legal jurisdiction here releases heaven’s authority. That is why Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 18:18:

“I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’”

Again, heaven has no jurisdiction here in the earth realm unless it is through a man or woman who looses it here. That is why Jesus is saying here that if a man or woman will release heaven’s authority here, heaven will back it up. If we don’t, heaven can’t….

God lost his jurisdiction in the affairs of men when Adam essentially kicked God out through his rebellion. It is here that Satan gains his jurisdiction over mankind as well.

The devil led him (Jesus) up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, ‘I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given me (by Adam), and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will be yours.’”

--Luke 4:5-7

Consequently God lost His legality in the earth realm as He lost the man that carried it—Adam… There are answers to your problems. Remember, a kingdom is a government, and it functions by laws that are impartial and available to any citizen living under the jurisdiction of the kingdom. As I stated earlier in the book, the Kingdom of God is built upon justice (the legal process which accesses God’s authority to enforce what His law says is right.) and righteousness.
