God, throughout His word, has established and then defined the term porter. He set in order angelic porters in the heavenlies, and later made His first man Adam, the porter, or keeper of the earth. From angels to man and even in the animal kingdom, God has set in place the porter ministry.
Please note that the animal world is not called the “animal democracy”. In order to have a kingdom, you must first have a king. A king would then have lords that oversee divisions or wards. From the lion as king of the jungle, to the wolf pack leader who functions as the porter, or keeper of that pack, the animal world is “the animal kingdom”. Maybe in all of God’s creation, the animal kingdom is the only pure example of the porter ministry still operating in present day as God had first established it.
When the word of God created animal life, with each species, God also instilled in them a chain of command and a plan for survival. Without schools to teach each new generation, Gods foundational plan of survival for each species has kept and preserved them until this present hour. The mere survival of each species was dependent upon their unlearned submission to Gods origin.
In the beginning, the original Apostles laid and then maintained the integrity of the foundation that the church was built upon. Although they were also elders and shepherds their sole responsibility was not to the sheep, but rather to keep the integrity of the foundation of the church. All other church elders and shepherds were submitted to their worldwide leadership of the church. Church government was theocratic rather than democratic.
The modern Christian church, however, is not operating as a kingdom. Therefore, church government is not according to God’s plan, but rather man’s invention. We must return to God’s original plan before we can be raptured away in His Glory. I sense the Church return to God’s original Church foundation, His government and plan. The vision of LHI is to restore the church back to God’s original foundation.
