I was preparing to pray Psalm 46 this morning and the presence of God wafted into the room and tears filled my eyes with the arrival of His presence. I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Many say I am seated on a throne, but I wanted to be enthroned, enthroned, enthroned.”

I honestly did not know there was a difference between being on a throne and being enthroned. To be on a throne is to acknowledge conceptually, or agree with doctrinally the reality or truth God is on the throne. But the Holy Spirit did not say to acknowledge He is on the throne, but to enthrone, enthrone, enthrone Him.

To enthrone means to live under His authority, His governmental rule. It is relational alignment, not conceptual acknowledgement. It is a declaration of kingship to govern responses, emotions, fears and decisions. It is authority that is welcomed and obeyed. God wants to be enthroned!

Praying Psalm 46 established this invitation of enthroned, when it says, “At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn. When the nations are in uproar with their tottering kingdoms, God simply raises his voice, and the earth begins to disintegrate before him. Here he comes! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us!”

We know God is on the throne, He is sovereign, He rules the nations, it is a belief we have, an acknowledgment we give. But today, He is wanting us to enthrone Him, to let Him rule over us, to govern our responses, emotions, fears and decisions. Enthroned, enthroned, enthroned is what He is asking us to do. Live under His authority.

Remember “God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams bring joy and delight to his people. His river flows right through the city of God Most High, into his holy dwelling places. God is in the midst of his city, secure and never shaken.” (Psalm 46) http://www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
