Kingdom of Heaven
Traveling Licenses
For Citizens of Heaven
Driver License, Vehicle Title,
Registration and Plates
You have come to the church of the
firstborn who are registered in Heaven. Hebrews 12:23 |
Many of us hear the call to come out of
Babylon. We quit participating with the world system, lest we share in her sins and
receive of her plagues (Revelation 18:4).
As we examine our
connections with the world system, there is one area where we are still linked. That is
over driver licenses and vehicle registrations. This seemingly trivial area is not costly
in terms of financial outlay. It only costs a few dollars a year to maintain a State
driver license. Nor do the burdens seem heavy. Yet, having a State driver license connects
us with the world order as certainly as a bank account or social security number.
The State driver license
and vehicle registration are different from other ties with the world order in one major
way. When we do not acquire these items, the system notices - and they are angry. Try
driving down the street with no driver license and no license plates on your car. When you
are stopped by the police - and it is inevitable that you will be stopped - you will
probably go to jail. Why? You cannot show the officer that you have "permission"
to use the highways.
If you cannot show the
police officer a driver license, he will probably haul you to jail. And you could be tied
up in court battles for months. Meanwhile, if you continue driving without permission from
a governing authority, you will be stopped by the police and hauled to jail again and
again. We know, it happened to us. And it can be frustrating and demoralizing.
Thank God for Jesus Christ
who always gives us the victory. He bids us to come follow Him out of the darkness of the
world system into His Kingdom, where the burdens are light. Christ's Kingdom of Heaven is
the only authorized government upon the earth. All other governments are of the world and
are in rebellion to God.
When we become citizens
and residents of His government, He provides for our every need. He knows we need to
travel upon the highways, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom. To travel by automobile, we
need proper driving papers. To answer our need, He has authorized the Embassy of Heaven to
issue driver licenses, vehicle certificates of title, vehicle registrations and
registration plates to all those who claim residency with Christ's Kingdom. Now we need
not prostitute ourselves with foreign governments to obtain driving documents. Heaven
meets our need.
What is the purpose of a Kingdom of Heaven driver
license?
The purpose of a Kingdom
of Heaven driver license is to identify you as a citizen of Heaven.
Who is eligible for a Kingdom of Heaven license?
Anyone who renounces his
allegiance to the governments of the world and believes on Jesus Christ and His
government.
State residents are not
eligible. If you are a State resident, you are required to obtain your driver license from
the State in which you reside.
Where can a Kingdom of Heaven driver license be used?
A Kingdom of Heaven
license can be used anywhere identification is required. It works well as picture
identification for cashing checks and postal money orders, or for general business
transactions such as obtaining refunds at stores or renting items. State law enforcement
agencies may not readily accept a Kingdom of Heaven driver license because they do not
believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is God's government upon the earth.
What is wrong with having a State driver license?
The State licenses its
residents. Licensing is an exercise of authority by the sovereign State. Our sovereign is
Jesus Christ. We have been called out of the world to serve Jesus Christ and Him alone.
Since our citizenship is in Heaven, and our sovereign is Jesus Christ, we must obtain our
documents from Christ's government, not from the State.
I'm interested in a Heaven driver license, but I'm
still a state resident. What can I do?
The most important step is
to give your allegiance to Jesus Christ and forsake your allegiance to all other nations.
Then start coming out of Babylon. Take care of your State obligations. Pay dues to whom
dues are owed (Romans 13:7). If you are in debt, pay off your loans as quickly as
possible. Owe no man anything but the continuing debt to love one another (Romans 13:8).
If you have long-term loans or mortgages, consider selling the property or letting the
bank foreclose. If you are burdened with loans, you are a servant to the lender and are
still in bondage. If you can become free, do so.
After paying off your
loans, you will no longer need a corporate job. Ask God to lead you to work where you do
not need the marks of the beast, such as a social security number and State licenses.
You will also need to
withdraw your children from public school and remove the family from any State
tax-supported activities. If you wish to partake of public libraries, swimming pools and
community colleges, pay nonresident rates.
Not only will you need to
separate from State government, you will also need to repent of any areas where you are in
disobedience to Christ's commands. Study the New Testament and ask the Holy Spirit to show
you any areas of your life that are not in conformity to the Word of God. Those who
continue in the following sins shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven:
Do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians
6:9-10 |
My State driver license doesn't expire for another
year. Am I still obligated until it expires?
No, a driver license is
not a contract. It is an obligation or requirement of a State resident. Once you give up
residency in a State, you are no longer obligated to carry that State's license.
As an example, if you
change your residency from California to Maine, the California driver license is void as
soon as you become a resident of Maine. The State of Maine will probably grant you a grace
period of 30 days to comply with their residency requirements.
When you become a resident
or citizen of Heaven, the same thing is true. The driver license issued by a government of
the world is immediately void and your grant of permission to use a vehicle on the
highways in the Kingdom of Heaven is granted by the State of Heaven. All residents of
Heaven are granted the privilege of driving upon the highway to preach the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ, whether or not documents are issued. (See Heaven Vehicle Code, Section
5:1).
What do I do with my State driver license and vehicle
Certificate of Title?
When you request a Kingdom
of Heaven license and vehicle title, registration and plates, you send the original driver
license (if you still have it) to us. We will cancel it and send it back to the State
agency where it was issued.
We also cancel the State
certificate of title and send it back to the State where it originated. Our letter to them
states that the vehicle has been registered with the Kingdom of Heaven. Most States change
their records to show that the vehicle is now registered under a "foreign
jurisdiction."
How often is the driver license renewed?
A Heaven driver license
expires after seven years. By that time most people's appearance changes sufficiently to
need a new photo.
What address is used on the driver license?
You have a choice of
addresses. You may use your local address or the Embassy of Heaven address, Stayton,
Oregon. Using the Church address shows you are under the covering of the Church.
Is obtaining a Heaven driver license another form of
bondage?
No. A Heaven driver
license is only a tool to help us interface with the world. Since the world thinks we are
criminals if we drive without a driver license, we will give them what they want. The
Heaven driver license does not impose manmade regulations upon us. It is only evidence
that we have bound ourselves to Jesus Christ and His commands.
What do the Kingdom of Heaven documents look like?
We use professional
quality equipment. Reporters have commented that our licenses rival the best of State
documents in appearance. The driver license is printed in two colors, with the Embassy
seal in the background. The plastic card contains your
personal data - eye color, hair color, height, and weight. The license also contains a
unique number and dates. Your signature is electronically transmitted from the request
form to the driver license. The card is available with or without your picture. If you do
not drive, an Identification card is also available.
The vehicle registration
plates have machine-embossed numbers across the center of the metal plate and the words
"Kingdom of Heaven" centered at the top. A sticker with the Embassy seal and our
name and address is attached.
The Certificate of Title
and Registration documents contain vehicle identifying information with the Embassy seal
in the background. The documents show that the vehicle is property of the Embassy of
Heaven. You are listed as the steward for the vehicle.
If I title my vehicle with the Embassy of Heaven
Church, who owns the vehicle?
The Church owns the
vehicle and you, as part of the Church, become the steward. The former Certificate of
Title or Bill of Sale is signed by the owner releasing all interests to the Church. Then
the Embassy issues a new Certificate of Title under the authority of the Kingdom of
Heaven. The new Certificate of Title is kept in a safe place by the steward of the
vehicle.
Are vehicle registrations renewed?
No, there are no renewal
notices or fees. If the vehicle is sold, the steward signs and dates the Certificate of
Title and gives it to the buyer. If the vehicle is taken out of service, the steward sends
the Certificate of Title back to the Embassy of Heaven. In either case, the registration
is sent back to the Embassy so that our records can be updated.
If I put Heaven plates on the car, won't I be waving
a red flag to the police?
Not necessarily. The
Heaven plates are similar to State plates. A police officer usually won't notice your car
unless he is directly behind you or he is looking for you.
If I am stopped, what do I say?
State that you are a
citizen of Heaven traveling upon the highways in the Kingdom of Heaven, for the purpose of
evangelizing, in obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If they try to claim you
are on the highways in the State, remind them that the highways are multi-jurisdictional.
If you were using the highways in the State, you would need their permission in the form
of a State license. But, since you are using the highways in the Kingdom of Heaven, you
cannot be trespassing upon the State.
They normally will try to
have you acknowledge that you are in their State. Remember, there is no communion between
light and darkness. Stay in the Kingdom of Heaven, regardless of their pressure.
How do police respond when they stop someone with
Heaven plates?
Every stop is different.
Some police don't want to hear a word about the Kingdom of Heaven and haul us to jail.
Others seem to regret having stopped us, but feel obligated to cite us. Recently we have
had reports from both Washington and California of police officers stopping our people and
agreeing with our stand. One officer asked our ambassador to pray for him and said,
"I have been studying the scriptures and I am coming to the same conclusions. I must
come out of the beast system. I will probably be joining you before this is all
over."
What do I do if I am issued citations?
They do not have authority
to issue citations because we are not of their household. Nevertheless, they cite us. If
we try to speak before their courts, the truth is not acknowledged because they refuse to
recognize God's government upon the earth. Therefore, be prepared to suffer persecution.
We normally do not
voluntarily make court appearances. If you are cited, you can send the tickets to us. We
will cancel them and send the citations back with a letter. Despite our efforts, an arrest
warrant may be issued and you may eventually be hauled to jail.
Is there a possibility that I may lose my car?
Yes. New State laws are
being passed that allow the police to confiscate vehicles for various reasons such as no
registration, no insurance, or no driver license. With laws like this on the books,
Heaven's ambassadors will be losing cars for the sake of the Kingdom.
We recommend that you do
not put any vehicle out on the road that you are not willing to lose. We suggest
purchasing an inexpensive, older, reliable car for evangelizing. If you drive a $500 sedan
and the police confiscate it, your losses will be minimal.
What about the State's requirement for car insurance?
It is none of the State's
business whether or not we have insurance on our vehicles. They cannot require the Church,
as the nation of God, to have insurance. We are not under their supervision.
Car insurance is a
requirement for State residents. As residents of the nation of Heaven, we are not required
to carry insurance. However, God does require that we be responsible for our actions. If
we hurt someone or damage property, we should attempt to make restoration, to the best of
our ability.
In Psalm 91, we have God's
assurance that He will deliver His own in times of trouble.
