Jude 1:6 — “And the angels (who followed Lucifer/Satan) who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day”. The angels who left their home – they got to live in and experience our Father’s kingdom and know His ways firsthand from the very beginning, and to know Him face to face, and they still chose Lucifer/Satan and the way he wanted things to be.
I’m never leaving our Father’s kingdom again. I’ve already gone out into the world and lived the dissipated lifestyle of pride, women, drunkenness, revelries, lewdness, the pursuit of money and luxuries, foolishness, crude joking, sports and the like.
When our Father finally called me to come home, when I got there, He showed me His ways of life in His kingdom, and I finally felt it and understood now that His ways brings true peace and joy, and the life I had been living outside His kingdom, while I was promised freedom (to do what I thought I wanted), as well as peace and joy in those things, while my flesh found joy in them for a fleeting moment, at the end of the day I found them to only bring chaos, misery, depression and destruction, not only for my spirit, but also my flesh. I’ll never go back.
What are His ways in His kingdom?
- His character and conduct
It all boils down to true peace and joy operating through love and righteousness (holiness, purity). In character towards others: kindness, gentleness, humility, patience, self-control, goodness, faithfulness, forbearance, truthfulness, rejoicing in good. - His provision
As a good Father with His children, He will always provide for our needs and shower us with love. We are like little children playing in our Father’s house on the weekend with our friends, having our parents take care of all the adult stuff for us – not a care in the world. - No need of possessions
Our Father’s kingdom is spiritual, and is about the spiritual characteristics listed in point 1 – righteousness, love, joy and peace. It’s a simple, peaceful life. It is not about food and drink or possessions, as the spirit doesn’t need or even desire that stuff. We don’t know yet all the spiritual things He has in store for us, as Psalm 16:11 says there are pleasures forevermore in His right hand (unfathomable, unheard of stuff right now), but what we do know is that we’ll spend our time resting, fellowshipping with each other in love and righteousness, traveling with each other, and working and reigning in His 1,000 year Millennial Kingdom to preach the gospel to the mortals and bring them into everlasting life.
Luke 15:11-24, the parable of the prodigal son — Then He (Jesus) said: “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
