Every form of disorder can be defined as a disease. A disease is broken order. It is the pulling apart or dismantling of that which once had an effortless flow or which was once free from pain, discomfort, or "dis" ease. The world we live in suffers from this disease of disorder. Every area of our social climate is plagued with it. There is a divine order that can heal the ills of mankind.
When we become subject to the order of heaven, we enter into the ease to move with heaven. This is where we rediscover our dominion and authority. It all stems from divine order!

THE IMPORTANCE
TO DIVINE ORDER
ESTABLISHING THE FLOW OF HEAVEN

"Let all things be done decently and in order."
- 1 Corinthians 14:40
While order is a vital part to the different roles of life, divine order is not only vital, it is critical to the flow of the living. Everything that God does issues forth from a heart of order. It is in the order of divine things that we find the rightness of God and the purpose of God.
This same divine order is needed in our ability to construct our lives on a daily basis, and also how the church is to conduct itself along the lines of community living. Paul had to address the order of ministry in the local church concerning the operations of the gifts of the Spirit. We need to know God's divine order because that is how we tap into the flow of heaven.
When God made man he put him in a place of perfect order. Things in his nature were in order. Creation was in order. The union of heaven and earth were in order. But when sin entered the world everything within it became subject to disorder. The heart of man was thrown into chaos and he lost his administrative ability to steward the assignment God gave him. Even creation itself became subject to vanity and things that had once been set in order fell into disorder.
Anything out of order is the result of an impairment to normal functionality. There are a lot of things in this world that function abnormally. You only have to look around at society and realize God never intended for man to be in bondage to sin, sickness, poverty, and premature death, nor did he will that man become subject to the abnormal behavior patterns we so frequently see around us. But when disorder replaces divine order, naturally you are going to experience abnormal conditions.
One of the definitions to the word "disease" is an abnormality that affects the body of an organism. It is the disordering or incorrect functioning of an organ, part, structure, or system of the body due to various causes of deficiency. But it is important to understand that disease is not merely limited to the body. It can involve social and domestic conditions as well. Broken marriages, broken homes, broken relationship, and broken lives are all the result of some aspect of disorder or disease within the framework of our society.
The very purpose of Jesus Christ coming to earth was to reestablish the divine order of heaven on earth. He had to deal with the architect of disorder, Satan, and the disease of sin that had affected the whole human race. Once redemption was achieved, then God could reintroduce to man the rightness and purpose planned for him from the beginning. Redemption wasn't just to provide an eternal home for us to one day experience. It was to provide a life borne out of an eternal order capable of dismantling every aspect of disease suffered by the fall of man. If you have any desire to experience the fullness of the blessing of the gospel, you have to come under the divine order of heaven. That is why we must become acquainted and subjected to the rule of the Holy Spirit. If there is anyone who can put order back in our lives, he can.*

PRAYER
Father, today I make the decision to get things in order in my life. Whether it has to do with how I conduct my affairs martially, socially, economically, or spiritually, I purpose in my heart to set things in order. Holy Spirit, bring me into the order of divine things so that I can walk in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I choose today to have God's divine order in my life. I will see the flow of heaven work in me, breaking every chain of disorder that has tried to restrict my destiny in Christ. I refuse to be a part of the disease of disorder that is rampant in this world. I walk in the ease of victory in Christ. I experience the ease of healing and wholeness in my spirit, mind, and body. I have a liberty and freedom to operate under the rule of heaven to exercise my rights in Christ from the disease of disorder.

DEFINING MOMENTS...
One of the great truths we hold in Christ is that we don't have to be subject to the ills of this world. All the sin, sickness, and disease that have plagued mankind became subject to the divine order of God in Christ. Once we place ourselves under his Lordship, then we can access that order through faith, and become an instrument of divine order through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The enemy seeks ways to bring disorder into our homes, our marriages, our finances, our health so that we are unfit to be the instrument of reconciliation to the world. But if we will take it to heart to put things in order, we will see the flow of heaven like never before, and our lives will shine for Christ in a broken world desperate for answers.
Pastor David
