What the Spirit of the Lord has made alive in me: via the elect who are preaching Repentance and the Kingdom of God ... the resurrected Spirit of Christ is manifesting HimSelf... establishing HIS Kingdom of earth as it already is in heaven (Jesus taught us to pray such as we wait upon HIM daily for that which Father offer through love and mercy).... and before, possibly during the greatest tribulation man has known globally to date... HIS merciful Spirit will be glorified through those HE has prepared in advance for such as this... they will be a loving city of refuge... the new Jerusalem... a city of light, offering HIS Light/truth, peace, love, wisdom and righteousness with Him, through HIS bride having made herself ready for her bridegroom and through those who have a testimony of HIS overcoming power in their now... revealing the manifestion of mature sons and daughters of the most High... living as Kings and Priests of love and truth with/through Him, as part of our inheritance through Christ.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father, (Daddy). His Spirit bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together with His glory. For I recognize that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole of creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:14-23 For whom He did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21 Since His eternal Holy Spirit dwells in us now... as a portion of our inheritance, then we already have eternal life and HIS overcoming power we can draw upon daily as we recognize and let go of that which HE already crucified in our behalf.
And hast made us unto our God, kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. We are being trained to do so as we die daily to that which is already dead... (died in Christ) and choose to walk in that which is of Spirit and truth... newness of life eternal
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. (as do we) Likewise recognize you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. Through Christ we are alive from the dead NOW... we do not have to wait for this awareness after we shed this outward cloak of flesh and go to heaven, so to speak. Could it be... this is one of the mysteries of God which is being manifested to HIS Own in our present generation... and soon we will all walk manifesting our body of sin has truly been redeemed by the power of the resurrected Christ within?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power. Mark 9:1 Luke 9:27 Could He be referrring to when they were translated out of the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of HIS Son confirming Jesus' resurrection, when the Holy Spirit came upon those of HIS choosing with power causing many to be born of His eternal Spirit at Pentecost ... though their bodies tasted death their Spirit lives forever. Could this also be referring to those who are born of His indwelling Spirit, and thus born into HIS Kingdom NOW, He having become our head our having submitted our bodies for HIS purposes? Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of His precious Son: where we now abide in word and truth through the spirit of the Lord alive within through the gifts of faith and grace

But seek you first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 May our priorities be Yours Father.... through the indwelling Christ and the power of Your word, And when Jesus was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21 His Kingdom is established first in our hearts one believer at a time, from generation to generation... through the indwelling Presence/power of the Holy Spirit abiding within as our teacher/guide/His living word, empowering us to live by HIS Kingdom rule... for we will love HIS law and desire/seek to live His great commandment of love as our own. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3 If you have not yet fully surrendered to HIS will for Your life... and His overcoming power through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit... who translates you out of the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of HIS Son, I will stand with you... in faith I have received, that you too will receive all HE offers, when you do so. Preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. Acts 28:31 May those of Your choosing preadh repentance and Your Kingdom... and those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with Your power... with signs and wonders... with confidence in YOU... no man forbidding them. For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20
For this you know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God our Father. Ephesians 5:5
That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you too In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Ephesians 1:11 share His Kingdom and glory. 1 Thessalonians 2:12
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of His Kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him? James 2:5 May we guard ourselves through Your convicting power, from seeking after and serving the god of mammon... from walking after the flesh rather than Your Spirit and Kingdom of Righteousness... through Christ... Our Lord!
For Father God, who is rich in mercy, through His great love through which He loves us, even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us (made our Spirits alive/reconciled to our Father) together with Christ, by grace you are saved; (it is no longer our old man who lives but the power of the resurrected Christ, who overcomes) and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places (the Kingdom of God ruling in our hearts), in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show, the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10 And now, brethren, I commend you to God our Father, and to the word of HIS grace, which is the power to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified through Christ. Acts 20:32
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which Father wrought in Christ, when HE raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His Own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23 Thank You Lord Jesus for revealing Our Father and His Gospel to us... Bless You Father for sending Your son... for reconciling us to you... in our present and through that which is to be... for revealing to us Your Gospel and Your Kingdom and for the gift of repentance and all it brings as our inheritance through You .... Bless You for Your anointing which breaks the yoke of every bondage through the power of the Holy Spirit within... we rejoice with You in the reality we are Your family who walks in Your glory... according to YOUR conviction, revelation knowledge, timing and unfolding plan for each of us! |
