THE POWER OF GOD'S KINGDOM IS EXEMPLIFIED ONCE IT IS ESTABLISHED INSIDE OF YOU !

10/14/2019

SO MANY TIMES WHEN I READ SCRIPTURE, I SEE JESUS TALKING ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IT WAS THE KEY MESSAGE THAT HE BROUGHT TO EARTH AND MANKIND. JESUS TALKED ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. HE TOLD US TO SEEK IT FIRST. HE TOLD US THAT NO ONE CAN SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN. JESUS TELLS US TO REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. HE TELLS US OF THE POWER THAT COMES FROM THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN SUPERNATURAL WAYS. HE SHOWS US THAT WE MUST BE MORE CHILD-LIKE TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, HE TELLS US THAT THE KINGDOM HAS BEEN PREPARED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, AND THAT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL INHERIT IT. JESUS ASKED HIS FOLLOWERS TO GO OUT AND PROCLAIM THE KINGDOM AND HEAL. AND JESUS TELLS US THAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ISN’T JUST SOME AHA MOMENT, WHERE WE SUDDENLY SEE IT MATERIALIZE. WHAT JESUS TELLS US IS THAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS IN OUR MIDST ! IT MAKES US A NEW CREATION ! IT CONVICTS US TO FIND SALVATION IN THE GIFT OF JESUS’S DEATH ON THE CROSS, AND HIS RESURRECTION TO THE THRONE AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN SEEK AND UNDERSTAND IN OUR LIVES…..FOR IF WE ARE NOT SEEKING AND THEN ABIDING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, WE ARE SADLY EMBRACING THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

NOW HAVING BEEN QUESTIONED BY THE PHARISEES TO WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WAS COMING, HE ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, “ THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT COMING WITH SIGNS TO BE OBSERVED; NOR WILL THEY SAY ‘LOOK, HERE IT IS’, OR ‘THERE IT IS’! FOR BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN YOUR MIDST.” Luke 17: 20-21

“THEN THE KING WILL SAY TO THOSE ON HIS RIGHT, ‘COME, YOU WHO ARE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.’ Matthew 25:34

“THE TIME IS FULFILLED, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND, REPENT AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL” Mark 1:15

IT IS SO IMPORTANT AS A CHRISTIAN TO UNDERSTAND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HERE RIGHT NOW ! AS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS, I SHOULD BE EMBRACING IT AND START MOVING TO FIND MY PURPOSE IN IT. I NEED TO ASK GOD TO FILL ME INTERNALLY WITH HIS KINGDOM THAT I MAY SEE HIS WILL AND SPEND MY TIME AND EFFORTS AS AN EARTHEN VESSEL IN EXPANDING HIS KINGDOM ON THE EARTH. THAT I MAY SEE HIM MORE CLEARLY AS MY KING, AND THAT EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR HIS GLORY. THAT I MAY SHARE HIS KINGDOM WITH OTHERS, SHARING HIM WITH EVERYONE. KINGDOM PEOPLE UNDERSTAND SIN AND INIQUITY. THEY SEE THE SAVING GRACE OF CHRIST….AND THEY STRIVE TO CHANGE ! TO LEAVE THE WORLD AND IT’S CULTURE TO ABIDE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE KINGDOM OF GOD CHANGES YOU FROM THE INSIDE, AND THEN LETS YOU SHINE INTO THE OUTSIDE. ONCE YOU EMBRACE IT, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL INDWELL YOU AND YOUR HUNGER AND THIRSTING FOR GOD WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE !

“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED”. Matthew 5:6

NOW ON THE LAST DAY OF THE FEAST JESUS STOOD AND CRIED OUT, SAYING, “IF ANYONE IS THIRSTY LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK” John 7:37

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HERE, AND THE TIME IS NOW TO EMBRACE IT ! ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU HIS KINGDOM AND FILL YOU WITH IT. ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU YOUR PURPOSE AND THE POWER YOU HAVE IN HIM. GET FILLED UP, AND GET BUSY BRINGING HIS KINGDOM TO EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOU. IT IS TIME ! EMBRACE THE KINGDOM/JA
