The Golden Throne

THE GOLDEN THRONE

at the center of your being 

resides the core of who you are -

your heart of hearts - there stands

the Golden Throne- the Royal
Seat of Authority over the 

entire kingdom of your life...

it is a position due great homage /

fealty for the allegiance of your 

life is to the one who sits upon 

that Throne regarding all personal

interests - private and public - 

nothing escapes the purview of 

the Lord and Master - all matters       

of purpose / agendas: priorities..

commitments...responsibilities....

time... money... careers... morality...

sins...virtues...speech...affiliations...

recreation....relationships...family....

faith...who or what you worship...

decisions of what or what not to do... 

each territory of your kingdom is 

under the control of the one who 

reigns with Authority upon the 

Golden Throne...that reality is 

reflected in the fruit of your daily 

life which leads Me to ask you to

examine yourself carefully...answer 

truthfully...for your response may 

eventually lead even to Eternal Life 

or Death...is it you or is it the Lord 

of Lords and the King of Kings that 

you obey and - in the end - Worship? 

if it is you... know that in Reality 

there are only two Kingdoms - the 

Kingdom of God and the kingdom 

of this world whose master is the 

Evil One and therefore the kingdom 

of your life is in reality ruled by the 

Enemy - even though you may not 

even believe in his existence since 

his kingdom is cloaked with deception     

and whose dominion can only lead               

to the Eternal Fires so... if that is the 

case now is a very opportune time to 

relinquish your control while you still 

have time because you do not know 

the day or the hour of My Return when

you will face Final Judgement...so to 

you I say 'Repent and Believe the 

Gospel' it is as simple as saying 'Forgive

me, Lord Jesus... Be my Lord and Savior...

I will Follow you'....then...seek Me daily...

learn to listen for My Spirit will lead you...

immerse your heart in My Word...become 

an intentional disciple with others who 

Follow Me and know that I will never 

leave you nor forsake you... and now I Speak 

to you who have already pledged your loyalty 

to Me...examine the kingdom of your life - 

have you handed over each territory to Me 

or are you hesitant...reluctant...still holding 

on to some precious domains which you 

most covet - perhaps personal habits...only

going 'so far' in 'letting go' before 'holding 

on'?....the Enemy knows your weaknesses...

the tendencies of your fallen nature / 

attractions to pleasure / pride's ruthless 

dominion which must be broken in order 

to be fully Redeemed...again...by their 

fruits you will know who Rules each territory 

then...proceed accordingly...Life is a Process 

of Recapturing what the Enemy has plundered 

through Original Sin's inborn consequences 

as well as each person's complicity by their

own sinful decisions...Holiness is the Goal...

Grace is the Means...Surrender is the Process...

Love is the Summation...so...Examine yourself 

thoroughly...Ask My Spirit to Lead you...Guide 

you...Strengthen you...Change you... for there 

is no more crucial question than this...

Who sits upon the Golden Throne?
