This post points out that Spiritual Sovereignty (submission to the Spirit) differs from being a Sovereign Citizen (submission to something else, usually our prideful self). Enjoy!
Spiritual Sovereignty is a concept that differs from Sovereign Citizenry, and this is due to submission to the Spirit of God, not the law or anything else, including self. Being a Sovereign Citizen begs the question (as asked of me recently by a new friend) a citizen, sure, but of what?
Spiritual Sovereignty from a Christian perspective requires us to take full responsibility before the Holy Spirit. This is a relationship not a set of rules. I spoke with a mediator recently who spoke negatively about me ‘not agreeing’ to her companies rules-based agreements. “This is a non-negotiable agreement”, she said. “You won’t sign so my company won’t do the mediation!” she added.
This agreement had confidentiality clauses that prevented me signing it (unless I broke my own commitments, which I would not do of course – which cost me delays and more).
Oh she said . . . you deliberately . . . [offence begins now] – oops!
So the back tracking and explanations meant that the call ended well and with agreement. “Thank you for sharing your thoughts!” she said. “You’ve obviously thought about this a lot!”

The mistake I think most Sovereigns make (and this relates to Maori Sovereigns as well as Sovereign Citizens) is that they do not differentiate the real issues and charge off into a conflict situation assuming things that are not true. Yes, I know that Sovereignty deals with those out to steal, greed, and lies. Welcome to the real world! I know that, but as I have explained here, it is an error to assume that all of us are liars or racists or that all of us want to deceive all the time. This honesty means that we as Spiritual Sovereigns can and should pick and choose our fights as well as choose when to speak up and when we choose to ‘play the game’.
If this is called ‘using the system to achieve our goals‘ by some, so be it.
I’d prefer though ‘spiritual wisdom‘ led by Wairua, and in a Christian context the Holy Spirit. The point though is that there IS a difference.
