The Kingdom of God!

 

Chapter 110

 

Last week I shared with you that when Jesus died on the cross, we died with Him because He died for us on our behalf so that sin no longer has dominion over us because of Adam's sin.

 

I have shared with you before that the gospel that Paul taught to the Gentiles was different than the gospel that was taught to the Jews. Different because it depends on our having faith in what Jesus did for us. Even the great Apostle Peter had to admit in 2 Peter 3:15-16, (NIV)

 

"Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."

 

In your pursuit of truth, your spirit must be opened to hear the voice of the Lord speak to you what He wants you to understand about the Kingdom of God! Jesus said in John 10:2-4, (NKJV)

 

"But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice."

 

I know the many of you will say, "Well, the Lord has never spoken to me!" I also was one who said that until I was filled with the Spirit of the Lord and learned the many ways that He speaks to us. Jesus said in John 4:23-24 to the woman at the well who was not a Jew,

 

"The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

 

You need to ask the Spirit of the Lord to reveal to you what Jesus was talking about. Notice, He did not say they would worship Him with their flesh, nor with their minds, but with their spirit and in truth! You must understand that your soul and your spirit is not the same thing. You are spirit, you have a soul made up of your mind, your will and your emotions and you exist on this earth in a body of flesh.

 

But God is looking for those who worship Him in spirit and truth! To these people He will speak to. The Holy Spirit does not need to speak to you in your language! If you are opened to the Spirit of the Lord, you will know when it is Him speaking to you without a word be uttered! Oral Roberts used to say, "I know because I know!" Your spirit will bear witness with your soul that it is the Lord speaking.

 

Many times when I was teaching, I would tell the people that what I just said was the Lord speaking to them. You must learn to walk by faith in what the Lord has said. In 1980 when I was in South Africa I was assigned to speak at the Sunday service in the church where the grandson of Smith Wigglesworth was the senior pastor. Also in 1983 I was assigned to preached at this same church.

 

On Sunday morning I was just being led the Holy Spirit and told the people that if they need to hear a word from the Lord to be sure to attend the evening service. After the service was over, I thought to myself, "What have I got myself into?" Well, that evening, I don't remember what I taught on, but when I gave the invitation the whole church came forward. Somewhere around 150 people.

 

I asked the pastor to come with me as I laid hands on the people and begin to give them a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom. When I was through, I told the pastor that I wanted to pray for he and his wife. I don't even remember what I said to them.

 

After the service, they invited me to their home for some refreshments and they were almost jumping up and down with excitement. The pastor said that I was right on in every word I gave to the people. His wife jumped in and said that the word I gave to the two of them was amazing and that I told them things about their life together that only they knew about.

 

I told them that the Lord was speaking through me to give them this message and that I didn't even remember what I said to them.

 

How does this happen? It's by stepping out in faith and yielding to the Holy Spirit to give you the words to say to these people. You will never be able to do this unless you are willing to step out in faith.

 

You may not be called of the Lord to be a minister, but you have been called of the Lord to speak what He gives you to speak! You must step out in faith and open your mouth. Jesus said in John 7:37-38,

 

"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)" 

 

Out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living waters! Yes, you can feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit as He speaks through you. My wife is a caregiver and has the anointing of the Lord to minister to the people that she takes care of, and they love her. The Spirit of the Lord allows her to reach even the tough cases that other caregivers cannot reach. The love of God flows through her to her patients. Jesus said in Matt. 5:16,

 

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

 

That light is Christ in you is the hope of glory! Paul said in Col. 1:25-27, (NIV)

 

"I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord's people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

 

Jesus said in John 14:6, (NIV)

 

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me!

 

On the political front: Patriot Political reports, (Quote)

 

 

Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland is drunk on power. He's weaponized the Department of Justice to kneecap the Biden regime's political opponents. And Tucker Carlson was shocked to discover Merrick Garland's latest abuse of power.

The FBI is turning a blind eye to the Left's violence while targeting the Right

Democrats are seething with rage after the Supreme Court put an end to the abortion on demand by overturning Roe v. Wade. As the late Rush Limbaugh said, abortion is the holy sacrament to the religion of liberalism.

While deranged pro-abortion activists are firebombing crisis pregnancy centers and vandalizing churches, Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland's Justice Department is sitting on its hands. Instead of going after actual criminals, the rogue FBI is dropping the hammer on pro-life activists.

Mark Houck is a father of seven, and Catholic, pro-life activist in Pennsylvania. He regularly leads prayers and protests outside of abortion clinics in the state.

After a deranged Planned Parenthood escort harassed his 12-year-old son outside an abortion clinic in Philadelphia, Houck stepped in to defend him. The escort filed charges against Houck in state court over the October 2021 incident, but the case was dismissed.

Nearly a year after the charges against Houck were dismissed, the FBI dropped the hammer on him in terrifying fashion. The FBI unleashed 20 armed agents to raid his rural Pennsylvania home in order to arrest him for supposedly violating a federal law called the Freedom of Access Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, which makes it a crime to interfere or intimidate anyone seeking or providing an abortion.

Houck's family is completely traumatized by this East German Stasi-style raid

Houck's wife, Ryan-Marie, appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight to tell Fox News's Tucker Carlson about the FBI's bone-chilling raid on their home.

"My entire front yard, you could barely see it, it was covered with at least 15 big trucks and cars," Ryan-Marie said. "There were 20, 25, 30, men, women, completely in jackets with shields and helmets and guns. They were behind cars. It was something I would never expect to see on my front lawn."

The FBI launched a full-scale raid reserved for the most wanted criminals on a father of seven for allegedly committing a minor crime. Ryan-Marie said FBI agents raided their home with "guns drawn" while her husband was put in "shackles" and the couple's children watched.

"It was devastating," Ryan-Marie told Carlson. "As you can imagine, it's hard to even express the victimization and how traumatized we all are due to this unnecessary thing that happened to us." Ryan-Marie said the FBI's gestapo tactics traumatized her children, leaving them "crying" and afraid to sleep alone.

'The older ones, we can talk, we can cry," Ryan-Marie said. "We've had some counseling, we have more counseling to do. And the little ones, they're scared. There's a lot of crying and a lot of unrestful sleep. A lot of kids in our bed at night and in the morning."

Merrick Garland's Department of Justice is stooping to unthinkable new lows in his crusade against the Biden regime's political enemies. (End Quote)

Our nation is under the control of a corrupt government on both sides of the isle and in the leadership of the FBI and CIA and in much of our court systems. However, there is a sleeping giant that has been stirred up and is coming awake and this nation will be saved.
