 "THE RULE OF GOD"...

~Matt. 6:10; Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

~Matt. 10:7; And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand”. 

~ Luke 11:20; But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

~ Rev. 11:15; Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our  Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 

It is significant to note that the phrases “Kingdom of God” and “Kingdom of Heaven” are not to be found in the Old Testament. They are strictly New Testament terms beginning with John the Baptist and Jesus. When Jesus came He did not preach a message CALLED grace, or salvation, or justification, or sanctification, or regeneration, or even the Church. There is not a more glorious message as the one Jesus preached as He began His sonship ministry declaring, “The KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!” From that time forward the great teaching of the Lord centered in the truths of THE KINGDOM. His gospel was the gospel (good news) of the Kingdom of God; The Kingdom of God is THE RULE OF GOD! It is the DOMINION OF GOD. That is exactly what it is. And Jesus came with just that message — the revelation of the RULE OF GOD within the hearts of men, and through men, over the earth, and  over the whole entire universe!

 For us to preach from the same dispensation of the Kingdom as Jesus did, first and foremost Jesus Christ must reign COMPLETELY in our lives. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS GOD IN CHRIST IN THE SAINTS GOVERNING THE CREATION OF GOD HERE IN THE EARTH! The rule of God begins first within our own the hearts! Every part of our being — spirit, soul, and body — must come under HIS DOMINION; HIS RULERSHIP! 

During our young (immature/natural man, soulical man) walk in the Lord, HE tolerated and even overlooked the many inconsistencies in our walk with Him, but now as an overcomer in HIM we are subjugated to a discipline of His Refining FIRE until the FULLNESS of HIS image is formed in us (Mal 3:2-3). This is the place where ALL of our strongholds will be exposed and reduced to ashes, and every thought made captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus (II Cor. 10:3-5). 

In God's Kingdom we come to know God as an ’all consuming fire’ — not to destroy but to purge and purify/sanctify us (Heb. 12:29). “Who among us,” asks the prophet Isaiah, “can dwell with the devouring fire?” The answer: “He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gains of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil, he will dwell on the heights...his bread will be given him, his water will be sure. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; they will behold a land (the Kingdom) that stretches afar” (Isa. 33:14-17). 

In order for us to experience the Kingdom, we must forsake the elementary principles which most of the church world glorify in today and go on to perfection (ONE NEW MAN) in Christ Jesus, so that Jesus as King would BECOME the living reality within us and through our lives made EVIDENT in the here and now on earth. We must be willing to be weaned from the BABYHOOD walk in Christ—circumcised, cauterized from the natural/fallen man nature! 

We MUST be truly born a-new... REBORN!!!
