当我们得救,蒙神赐给圣灵,神宝座的权柄就已经通到我们里面。从这一面说,每一个得救的人里面都有神的宝座,都有神的王权、神的权柄。有人问,‘这个权柄是什么?’这个权柄就是住在你我里面的圣灵。在神宝座前的七灵,已经受差遣,进到你我里面。今天在你我里面的圣灵,是生命的灵,是能力的灵,也是权柄的灵。祂在你里面,不仅作你的生命,也不只作你的能力,同时在你里面作你的主,作你的君王,作你的王权。所以,圣灵在你里面,你里面就有神的宝座。
在你得救之后,若是你觉得在你里面有一个管辖,叫你不能随便行事,不能任意妄为,请记得,这不是基督教的规条;这完全是在你里面圣灵的故事。圣灵住在你里面,就是国度在你里面,也就是神的国临到你。圣灵在那里,那里就有神的国、神的宝座、神的权柄。
福音的目的,不是要把我们救到天堂,因为没有天堂;福音乃是要把我们救到神的国和祂的王权里。所以我们这班蒙恩的人,绝不是所谓无法无天的人。我们悔改,就是转回归向神,接受祂作我们的主,让祂能把祂的生命放在我们里面,同时让祂的灵能进到我们里面,把祂的宝座、祂的王权都通到我们里面。
如果在你的生活中,无论大事小事,你都肯顺服属天的主权,让天上的宝座在你里面掌权,那么无论你什么时候祷告,你的灵定规喜乐,你的口定规兴起赞美。同时,一有机会,你一定会向神献上感谢。你的灵是喜乐洋溢的,因为在你这人里面,肯让神掌权;你是在国度里的人,在国度里有分,属天国度的王权就在你身上。
许多弟兄姊妹随便发脾气,随便动怒,随便批评人,随便嫉妒人,随便恨人,随便行事。这些情形都说出他们不受天的管治,不受天的约束,使属天的王权在他们里面被抹煞。然而过了一段时间,圣灵又来了;祂是权柄,是宝座前的七灵,要把宝座通到你里面。这时,只要你稍微给祂一点机会,你就会发觉,在你里面有宝座、有管治、有王权;国度仍旧在你里面。从你得救那天起,国度就在你里面,这个王权就在你里面;问题乃在于你是否顺服于属天的管治。

Believers Must Submit to the Heavenly Ruling – Rom. 14:17
When we are saved and given the Holy Spirit by God, the authority of God’s throne has passed into us. From this perspective, every saved person has the throne of God, the kingship of God and the authority of God within him. Some may ask, “What is this authority?” This authority is the Holy Spirit living in you and me. The seven spirits who are before the throne of God have been sent to us. The Holy Spirit within us today is the Spirit of life, the Spirit of power and the Spirit of authority. He is in you not only as your life, nor only as your power, but also as your Lord, your king and your kingship. Therefore, when the Holy Spirit is within you, you have the throne of God within you.
After you are saved, if you feel that there is a ruling within you that prevents you from acting casually or acting arbitrarily, please remember this is not a Christian doctrine, rather it is the story of the Holy Spirit within you. When the Holy Spirit dwells in you, it means that the kingdom is within you and the kingdom of God has come to you. Wherever the Holy Spirit is, there is the kingdom of God, the throne of God and the authority of God.
The purpose of the gospel is not to save us to heaven, because there is no so-called heaven; the purpose of the gospel is to save us into the kingdom of God and his kingship. Therefore, we believers are by no means lawless people. When we repent, we turn to God and receive him as our Lord, allowing him to put his life into us, and at the same time allowing his Spirit to enter into us to connect his throne and his kingship with us.
If you are willing to submit to the sovereignty of heaven and allow the throne of heaven to rule in you, regardless of big or small things in your life, your spirit will definitely be joyful and your tongue will rise up in praise whenever you pray. Meanwhile, you will be sure to give thanks to God whenever you have the opportunity. Your spirit is overflowing with joy because you are willing to allow God to rule in your being. You are a person in the kingdom, partake of the kingdom and the heavenly kingship rests upon you.
Many brothers and sisters lose their temper easily, get angry easily, criticize others, envy others, hate others and act at will. These situations all reveal that they are not governed by heaven or controlled by heaven, causing the heavenly kingship to be obliterated within them. However, after a period of time, the Holy Spirit comes again. He is the authority, the seven Spirits before the throne, and he wants to connect the throne with you. At this time, as long as you give him a little chance, you will find there is a throne, the governance and kingship within you. The kingdom is still within you. From the day you were saved, the kingdom and the kingship have been in you; It depends upon whether or not you submit to heavenly rule.
