Almighty God knew that we were without hope under the terms of the Old
Testament Law. The blood of sheep, bulls, calves and goats was
insufficient to atone for man’s sinfulness and restore us to
righteousness. He sent His only Son to this world to redeem us from all
our transgressions. Had it not been for our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, we would all be lost in our sins for all of eternity.
Jesus came to this earth as a mere man and relinquished His deity to
become one of us. He was born of a woman by the power of the Holy
Spirit and led a perfect, sinless life. He, who knew no sin, actually
became sin for us, so that He could pay our sin debt in its entirety.
Jesus laid down His own life as a Blood sacrifice in atonement for the
sins of all mankind – past, present and future.
He suffered and died an agonizing death, so that we could have life in
abundance to the overflow. He restored us to right standing with our
heavenly Father through the offering of His own flesh on our behalf.
There is no longer a separation between God and man. We are new
creatures in Christ. Our sins are now removed far from us, and the Lord
sees us as covered by the Blood of Jesus.
We need not experience shame, guilt or condemnation any longer. We can
approach the throne of grace with all our needs, in full assurance that
they will be met in abundance. The Lord views us as His beloved sons
and daughters and there is no good thing that He will ever withhold from
us. We have grace and unmerited favor with Him that only our faith in
Jesus Christ can provide us.
The Lord had a perfect rescue plan in place from the very moment that
Adam rebelled and sinned in the Garden of Eden. He was not content to
abandon mankind in their sinfulness. He was determined to set things
right legally and restore us to right standing with Him, so that there
is no longer a separation between God and man. He sent His only Son,
Jesus Christ, to this earth to buy back our righteousness.
Almighty God knew that it would take another human being, who was
perfect in every way, to set the record straight and redeem all of
mankind from the curse that sin brought. Jesus Christ was conceived by
the Holy Spirit and born of a woman, just as we are. Yet He never
sinned, so He could be the perfect Lamb of God who willingly and
obediently offered up His own life in atonement for all of our
transgressions.
The Lord laid the iniquity of all mankind on Jesus Christ at the cross.
He, who knew no sin, became sin for us and then suffered its penalty of
death. We do not have to do anything other than repent from the heart;
believe in His name; and confess Him as our personal Lord and Savior, in
order to be redeemed to eternal life. Christ died, so that we can be
spared that same fate, and receive life in abundance to the overflow.
We were called, elect and chosen from the beginning of time to be in an
intimate relationship with our God. Sin may have temporarily separated
us, but the Blood of Jesus Christ bridged the gap and restored us to our
right standing with our Creator. If we truly believe in Him, and all
that He accomplished with His death on the cross, we are saved to
eternal life with all its many benefits.
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice just for us. Our righteousness is now
secure and we have grace, or unmerited favor, with our God. There is no
good thing that the Lord will ever withhold from us. We can approach
our heavenly Father with every need and know that it will be satisfied.
We are now actually seated with Christ in heavenly places at the right
hand of almighty God Himself.
The Lord views us as He does Jesus; we are holy and perfect in His
eyes. Christ dwells in us, and we abide in Him. If we imitate His laid
down life, we will be imbued with power and authority from on high to
operate in His name. We will do the very works that Jesus did while He
was on the earth. We will preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out
demons and even raise the dead.
We have a covenant of peace with God and we have become joint-heirs with
Jesus to all the promises for righteousness. The Kingdom of God will be
our eternal legacy. We will share in Christ’s very own honor and
glory. The Lord will boast of us to all creation as His sons and
daughters and shower us with many blessings. We will dwell in His
awesome presence and thrive for all of eternity.
Jesus Christ was ordained from before the very foundation of the world
to serve as our Lord and Savior. He was the perfect Lamb of God, the
only suitable sacrifice that could be made for the propitiation of our
sins. He became one of us and led a sinless life Himself while He was
here on this earth. He served as our substitute in paying the penalty
of death that was leveled against all of mankind.
He suffered, died and was buried to redeem all of mankind from the curse
of the law. Then He rose again to glory, so that we could experience
the newness of life. Our Lord and Savior bought back our innocence and
secured our inheritance in the everlasting Kingdom of almighty God.
Very soon now, He will return to this earth to complete our redemption
in spirit, soul and body, so that we are like Him in every way.
We are not righteous in our own strength, no matter what we do to
appease God for our sinfulness. There is no way that we can purchase
our salvation either. We are cleansed only by the Blood of Jesus
Christ, which was shed for us in remission for all of our sins – past,
present and future. Through Christ, we have been made the righteousness
of God and heirs to all of the blessings of Abraham.
Our hope and faith should rest in all that Jesus accomplished on our
behalf. We can have real confidence for our future. Because of His
obedience, we are now in right standing with almighty God and we have
become His very own sons and daughters. We are actually seated with
Christ in heavenly places. There is no good thing that the Lord will
ever withhold from us if we believe the truth and walk in His ways.
Our Lord and Savior is our righteous role model and our example for
perfect obedience. He operated in love at all times and walked in light
in everything that He thought, said and did. He received guidance and
direction by the power of the Holy Spirit of almighty God Himself. All
things were revealed to Him, so that He could be totally effective
during His earthly ministry.
If we have fellowship with God, then we will also learn to walk in the
light. We can overcome all the darkness that surrounds us and
appropriate Christ’s righteousness by faith. If we should slip and miss
the mark, we can confess our sins and be certain that we will be
forgiven once again. There is no valid reason why we should ever be
separated from our heavenly Father.
The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us of all sin, so that we are
uncompromisingly righteous in God’s eyes. He sees us as His very own
sons and daughters and He is pleased when we dwell in peace and unity.
We have divine destinies to fulfill that require us to be unified in the
Holy Spirit. We can accomplish a great deal more by working
cooperatively than we can as individuals.
Jesus Christ was the firstborn of many sons and daughters of almighty
God. He is the captain of our salvation, our role model, mediator and
intercessor with His heavenly Father. When the Lord looks at us, He
sees the Blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses us of all our sinfulness
and washes us clean from all of our ancestral iniquity. The Lord will
never impute our sins to us ever again.
It is now possible for us to approach the throne of His grace without
fear, shame or condemnation of any kind. Almighty God always welcomes
our advances, and desires our intimacy as His beloved children. The
Lord will hear all of our prayers and grant all our requests. He is
able to provide exceeding abundantly all that we could ever ask or think
according to the power that works in us.
We will prevail in this life and in the Kingdom to come for all of
eternity. We will dwell in the very presence of God Himself in peace
and prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and
freedom. The Lord will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore
all that was taken from us over the years. He will make certain that
all of our needs are met in abundance.
If we have been faithful to serve the Lord and His people, we will have
generous rewards for all of our efforts. Jesus Christ will appoint us
kings and priests. We will judge both men and angels, and share in His
honor and glory. We will have the heathen in the uttermost parts of the
earth for our inheritance. We will actually rule and reign with Christ
over all of the nations of this world.
The Lord’s Supper was celebrated by Jesus and His disciples as a type
and shadow of what was to come. He offered up bread and likened it to
His own Body that would be crucified for our express benefit on the
cross. He offered the wine in commemoration of His Blood, which was to
be shed for all of mankind as a propitiation for all of our sins and
ancestral iniquity.
Christ urged all of us to do the same in remembrance of Him after He was
gone. Every time we break bread and drink wine in His holy name, we
show deference and respect for all that He accomplished on our behalf.
We vicariously partake of His suffering and death, and rejoice in His
resurrection from the dead by taking the communion elements in a worthy
manner.
Jesus is actually present in the bread and the wine, as a tangible sign
to us. He wants us to reflect on all that He has done by celebrating
His life and death. We are now the righteousness of God by faith and
heirs to all of the promises. There is no longer a separation between
God and man. We are brand new creatures in Christ, and He dwells in
each and every one of us.
We are now crucified with Christ, metaphorically speaking, and we
acknowledge all His accomplishments by partaking of His Body and Blood.
We actually commune with Him in the Lord’s Supper, and we should show
proper deference and respect to our Savior. We must never receive the
sacramental elements without being fully prepared to recognize them for
all that they represent.
The communion bread and wine should be handled circumspectly because of
what they signify. Jesus Christ was the least deserving of punishment
and death than any other human being. He was totally sinless, yet He
actually became sin for us and then suffered its penalty of death with
His very own Body and Blood. There is no greater sacrifice that has
ever been made by anyone else.
When we eat the bread and drink the wine of the Lord’s Supper, we share
vicariously in all of His pain and suffering and rejoice in His
subsequent victory over sin, death and the grave. We demonstrate that
we are sincere followers of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and show Him the
gratitude and honor that He deserves. His Body and Blood strengthen our
spirit and fortify us against all evil.
The Lord was most specific about His followers celebrating His Blood
sacrifice. He insisted that unless we partake of His Body and Blood
that we have no part of Him. He wants to be so close to His people that
we actually dwell in Him, and He is an integral part of us. When we eat
the bread of His Body and drink the wine of His Blood, we become one
with Him and through Him.
If we are sincere believers in Jesus Christ, and all that He did for us
at the cross, then we should have no problem commemorating His death and
resurrection with the consecrated bread and wine. We should be grateful
for the opportunity to acknowledge Him and His sacrifice on our behalf.
We should eagerly approach the Lord’s Supper with gratitude and praise
in our hearts.
Believers have received the gift of eternal life because of all that He
did for us. We are no longer lost in our sins and subject to the
penalty of death. There is no more separation between God and man. We
have been restored to a covenant relationship with our Creator. The
Body and Blood of Christ assure us that we are now innocent and have His
resurrection life residing in us forever.
We have an eternal covenant with almighty God because of all that His
Son, Jesus Christ, did for us. Our sins are all forgiven and we are now
in right standing with our heavenly Father. There is no longer a need
for us to atone for our own sinfulness. The Lord can relate to us on an
intimate basis now and shower us with everlasting blessings, as He has
always desired to do.
In return, we must assume our divine destinies and serve the Lord and
His people, as we are ordained to do. He is in need of our help in
rescuing others from darkness and destruction. We should share our
beliefs and break the yokes of bondage to sin and evil off of them. We
will work mighty miracles, signs and wonders to attest to our faith and
see the entire planet transformed.
Our God will soon gather us to Himself for all of eternity. He will
take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore all that has been taken
from us. He will change these mortal bodies that are susceptible to
disease and death into glorious, resurrection forms that live forever in
health and vitality. We will have peace and prosperity, safety and
security, joy and freedom.
The Kingdom of God will be heaven on the earth for all those who are
worthy to enter into it. There will be no more war, violence and
conflict anywhere; the entire world will be peaceful and serene. Social
injustice will finally disappear; all men will be treated with fairness,
dignity and respect. Poverty and lack will be eradicated; all of our
needs will be met in abundance.
We will see the power and glory of almighty God manifested as never
before in the days that lie ahead. He will make certain that we all
reach the full stature of Jesus Christ. We have divine destinies which
must be fulfilled in order to bring heaven itself to this earth realm.
We will operate in genuine Christ-like power and authority to usher in
the everlasting Kingdom of God.
We will preach the Gospel throughout the entire world to every man,
woman and child. We will baptize countless numbers, so that they can
receive eternal life. We will heal the sick of all their afflictions
and cast out demons that hold men in bondage to sin and evil. We will
even raise the dead back to life as a powerful demonstration of God’s
mercy and compassion.
We are the church of the living God – just men made perfect – and
nothing will be impossible to us. We will change the fate of this
entire earth. We will challenge all world governments to adopt godly
principles. We will eliminate all poverty and lack. We will restore
all of creation to its original beauty and balance, and ensure that
God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
The Lord, Jesus Christ, will make certain that His disciples complete
His earthly ministry to perfection in the critical days that lie ahead.
We will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God with genuine power and
conviction and works miracles, signs and wonders in His holy name. We
will heal the sick of all their afflictions; cast out demons that hold
men in bondage; and even raise the dead back to life once again.
We will take back our dominion over the entire earth and prepare it for
heaven to be ushered in here. There will be no more wars, violence or
conflict anywhere. Poverty and lack will be abolished, as all men learn
to share their material resources with one another. Social injustice
will be eradicated once and for all time. Every form of contamination
and defilement will be removed far from us, as we usher in the Kingdom.
The Lord will have us bring love, peace and unity to this earth realm
even before He returns. All men will dwell together as brothers and
sisters and be treated with fairness, dignity and respect. The
government of almighty God and His justice system will prevail. The
kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. He will ensure that only righteous principles are in
force at all times.
The Kingdom of God will be the answer to all of our prayers and the
solution to all of our problems. It will be paradise on this earth for
both God and man. The Lord will supply all of our needs in abundance
even before we ask Him. His laws will be written on our minds and in
our hearts. We will dwell with both men and angels in His awesome
presence, and give Him all the thanks and praise, honor and glory He
deserves.
We have a permanent covenant of peace with almighty God through the
merits of the Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. While we were once at
enmity with Him because of Adam’s sin and rebellion, Christ’s sacrifice
on our behalf has torn down all of the partitions that existed between
God and man, so that we are now one with Him in an intimate
relationship, as He desires.
Believers can commune with God through the power of His Holy Spirit and
receive wisdom and revelation, guidance and direction, to be successful
in all that we think, say and do. We can be totally righteous in His
eyes and no longer have our sins imputed to us. We are heirs to great
and precious promises through our faith, and no good thing will ever be
withheld from us.
There is no longer an estrangement between God and mankind. We have
been restored to our right standing with our Creator and He has
wonderful plans and purposes for our lives. He will soon gather us to
Himself in the everlasting Kingdom of God on this earth. He will supply
all of our needs in abundance and change our mortal bodies into new,
glorious, resurrection forms.
We will dwell in His awesome presence and He will boast of us to all
creation as His very own sons and daughters. The Lord will take
vengeance on all of our enemies and restore anything that has been
stolen from us. He will protect us from all harm and provide us with
peace and prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and
freedom for all of eternity.
The name of Jesus Christ is above every other name. He is exalted in
all of creation because of who He is and what He has accomplished. He
is the Word of God who was with the Father from the very foundation of
the world and by Him, all things were made. He is our Lord and Savior,
the Redeemer of all mankind. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords
who will rule and reign for all eternity.
If we believe in His name and appropriate the righteousness that He has
bought and paid for on our behalf, we will be saved to eternal life with
all of its many benefits. We will be able to overcome the world, our
flesh and the devil because He has made it possible for us to be more
than conquerors in His mighty name. He is our role model and mediator
with the Father and always intercedes for us.
When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we are born
again in our spirit man. We become brand new creatures in Christ. Our
minds are renewed in the truth and our behavior is totally transformed
until it becomes godly. We imitate the laid down life of Christ
Himself, and embrace our divine destinies as His goodwill ambassadors
for the everlasting Kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ did not come to this earth to condemn mankind, but to
deliver us from our bondage to sin and evil and give us a fresh start.
Through Him, we have received forgiveness for all of our transgressions
and the gift of eternal life. We are now in right standing with God and
joint-heirs with Jesus to all the promises for righteousness. There is
no good thing that the Lord will ever withhold from us.
Life in abundance is available to us through Jesus Christ. We are
commanded to believe in His name and to love one another, just as He
loved us. If we do, He will actually come and dwell in us and we will
be able to overcome the world, our flesh and the devil through the power
of His name. His very own Holy Spirit will permeate our being, lead and
guide us, and leave us changed in every way.
Christ has given us a divine commission to go forth in His name and make
disciples of all men. We will share the truth of the Gospel of His
Kingdom with all those who are willing to listen. Every man, woman and
child will have an equal opportunity to be saved to eternal life with
all of its many blessings. We will demonstrate the love, mercy and
compassion of almighty God Himself for His people.
Whatever we do will be totally successful if we use the power of
attorney that has been granted to us in invoking Jesus’ awesome name.
The name of Jesus will cover and protect us in everything that we say
and do. We can reign in this life and in the Kingdom to come if we
remember who we are and whom we serve. We can do all things through
Christ, who strengthens us by the power of His holy name.
There is only one name by which we must be saved to eternal life with
all of its many blessings. If we repent of all of our sins; confess
Jesus Christ as Lord; and are baptized in His precious name; we are born
again in our spirit man. We become new creatures in Christ and our
minds are renewed in the truth. Our behavior is gradually transformed
until it becomes godly.
Spiritual fruit will enhance our lives as nothing else can. Peace, love
and joy will soon overtake us. We will become good and gentle, meek,
temperate and longsuffering in our relationships with others. If we
walk in the Holy Spirit instead of our flesh, we will be able to
accomplish mighty feats. We will expand the Kingdom of God on this
earth as we are destined to do.
Empowered In His Name
Ephesians 5:17-20 “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what
the will of the Lord [is]. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is
excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”
Almighty God created us in His very image and likeness to spend all of
eternity with Him. We are spirit beings having a human experience that
requires us to be connected with our God at all times, so that we never
lack a power source. We ought to give Him all the praise, gratitude and
honor that He deserves and consecrate ourselves to serve Him with joy
and enthusiasm.
We should seek the Lord for His express will for our lives. He has
ordained us to embrace divine destinies that will impact the entire
earth and everyone in it. We are the sons and daughters of almighty God
and He has need of our help in reclaiming this world for the Kingdom of
God. We will overcome all evil with good and prevail in all that we are
called to do on His behalf.
It is not the Lord’s will that anyone perish for lack of knowledge in
the truth. He wants the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached to every race,
tongue and nation. That may seem like an ominous task, but the Lord
Himself will arrange our contacts so that we can optimally share our
faith. We will urge others to repent of all their sins and accept Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Savior.
We will baptize countless numbers in Jesus’ name and make eternal life
available to all those who are receptive to it. We will demonstrate
God’s love, mercy and compassion to everyone we meet. We will heal the
sick of their diseases. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the
lame will walk. We will cast out demons that hold men in bondage and
even raise the dead.
Colossians 3:17 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
We will present our bodies as living sacrifices to almighty God and
consecrate all of our efforts to doing whatever He calls us to do.
We
have sanctified ourselves and been well-schooled in the Lord’s plans and
purposes. He has imbued us with divine power and authority to act in
His stead. We will rescue countless numbers from sin and darkness, and
overcome all evil with good.
Nothing will be impossible to us if we walk in the Holy Spirit instead
of our flesh. We will accomplish mighty feats in Jesus’ name and
prepare the hearts of mankind to receive their King. We will abolish
wars and conflict and bring peace to this earth. There will be no
poverty and lack, as we persuade the affluent to share their resources.
Men will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
All of creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons and daughters
of almighty God to set it free to glorious liberty. We will command
perfect harmony to all the plants and animals and even regulate the
climate so that it is temperate and predictable. We will cancel all
the adverse effects of pollution. There will be no more natural
disasters that cause death and destruction.
The Kingdom of God will be spread to every corner of this earth. The
Lord, Jesus Christ, will return to us and determine who has been
righteous and who deserves everlasting punishment. He will gather the
faithful to Himself for all of eternity, but all wrongdoers will be
banished to the unquenchable lake of fire. Christ will be a righteous
King and a generous benefactor to all of His people.
2Thessalonians 1:11-12 “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our
God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good
pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him,
according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Believers have been called and chosen from the foundation of the world
to impact this generation in the critical days that lie ahead. We are
the actual sons and daughters of almighty God Himself by faith. We are
joint-heirs with Jesus Christ to all the promises for righteousness. We
are kings and priests of God who will lead His people into His
everlasting Kingdom on this earth.
We have sanctified ourselves of all known sin and we are filled with the
Holy Spirit of God. We will operate in divine power and authority and
invoke Jesus’ name in everything that we do on His behalf. We will
break yokes of bondage to sin and evil off of others. We will preach
the Gospel with real conviction and gather in the full, end-time harvest
of souls that is required.
Miracles, signs and wonders will attest to our beliefs and demonstrate
the inimitable love and mercy of almighty God for His people. We will
manifest His powerful name by healing the sick of all their
afflictions. We will cast out demons and destroy all satanic
strongholds that deter our efforts. We will even raise the dead back to
life by the power of Jesus’ holy name.
We will teach others how to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers
and sisters. We will judge both men and angels and have the heathen in
the uttermost parts of the earth for our inheritance. Christ will share
His very own honor and glory with us, because we have been faithful to
serve Him in all that we say and do. We will rule and reign with Him
over all the nations of the world.
Signs, Wonders And
Miracles In His Name
Mark 16:15-18 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
Jesus Christ has given believers genuine power and authority to operate
in His place in resuming His ministry on this earth where He left off.
He has need of our help in rescuing others from sin and evil, thereby
advancing His Kingdom even before He returns to us. We are to preach
the Gospel throughout the entire world and baptize many souls to eternal
life, just as we have been.
Unless men believe the truth and receive forgiveness by the Blood and
the name of Jesus Christ, they will perish for all time. We can
appropriate our right standing with almighty God only by faith. The
Word of God sets men free and makes abundant life possible to everyone
who is receptive. All those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book
of Life must be given the opportunity for redemption.
We will demonstrate the very love, mercy and compassion of our Lord and
Savior for all mankind. In His name, we will heal the sick of all their
afflictions. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the lame will
walk through our efforts. We will cast out demons that hold men in
bondage, and even raise the dead back to life. Nothing will be
impossible to us if we are willing and obedient.
The Lord, Jesus Christ, will work in us and through us to accomplish
mighty feats in His name. There will be miracles, signs and wonders
abounding. We will prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive their
King and His name will be glorified because of all that we do. Very
soon now, Jesus will return to set up His everlasting Kingdom on this
earth and we will be generously rewarded for our service.
John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall
he do; because I go unto my Father.”
All power, both in heaven and earth, has been given to Jesus Christ and
He is delegating it to His followers. We have been given a divine
commission to fulfill. Our Lord and Savior wants us to evangelize the
entire world. We will make the Gospel of Jesus Christ available to
every man, woman and child in every race, tongue and nation. All sins
will be forgiven, and they will inherit the gift of eternal life.
Anything that Jesus did in the power of the Holy Spirit of God will be
available to His people. He is the Head, but we are the Body of Christ
on this earth – His hands, feet and voice. We will do all the works
that He did, and even greater works, since He has gone to be with His
heavenly Father. He will strengthen us in our spirits and give us full
power of attorney in the use of His mighty name.
Christ worked miracles of multiplication and spoke to inanimate objects
like the wind, waves and fevers, and they obeyed Him. He took control
of satanic forces and healed men of all their afflictions and demonic
oppression. He read men’s minds and hearts, and we should be able to do
the same things in the days to come. He even transported Himself from
place to place by the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is reasonable to expect that we will be able to operate just like
Jesus Christ did during His time on this earth. He walked as a mere
man, but He operated under the power of the Holy Spirit to work all
miracles, signs and wonders. If we have faith in Him and in the power
of His name, we will be able to do everything that He did, and even
more, since He ascended to be with our heavenly Father.
Hebrews 2:3-4 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard [him]; God also bearing [them] witness, both
with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy
Ghost, according to his own will?”
We have been given great and precious promises through our faith in
Jesus Christ and all that He did for us. We have received the gift of
eternal life and hope and confidence for our future. The Lord has
dramatically changed our lives and continues to be glorified in us. We
have been given divine destinies to fulfill that will impact the future
of this planet and change the fate of all of mankind.
Christ will imbue us with His very own divine power and authority to
represent Him on this earth in the critical days to come, and we will be
successful in all of our efforts. We will accomplish great things, if
we invoke the name of Jesus Christ in all that we say and do. We will
operate in miracles, signs and wonders, and all of creation will heed
our words and respond to our commands.
Plants and animals will soon be in perfect harmony with one another. We
will speak to the climate and regulate it to be temperate and
predictable. There will be no more natural disasters that cause loss of
life and needless destruction. We will reverse the adverse effects of
all forms of pollution and cleanse this planet of all defilement, so
that heaven itself can ultimately be brought here.
We will speak to all government leaders and persuade them to adopt godly
principles in dealing with one another. There will soon be peace on
earth and all men will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
We will eliminate poverty and lack and eradicate all forms of social
injustice. The kingdoms of this world will be absorbed into the Kingdom
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
All Needs Met Through
The Blood And The Name
Malachi 2:2 “If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart,
to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a
curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them
already, because ye do not lay [it] to heart.”
We must give the Lord, Jesus Christ, all the praise, honor and glory
that He deserves. He suffered and died so that we would have life in
abundance to the overflow. If we fail to exalt His holy name, we will
be cursed instead of blessed. He has done great and mighty things for
us, and we should be continually mindful that anything is possible to us
if we invoke His name.
Christ always intercedes for us with His Father. He is seated in
heavenly places at the right hand of almighty God Himself, high above
every principality and power. We are able to approach the throne of
grace with any need and know, for a fact, that it will indeed be met
according to God’s riches in glory. There is no good thing that the
Lord will ever withhold from His people.
Jesus wants us to have total faith and confidence in both His Blood and
in His name. We are righteous in Him by the merits of His sacrificial
death and entitled to all the covenant promises of God. We have
abundant grace, unmerited favor, with our Creator. He wants to lavish
us with all spiritual and temporal blessings now, and in the everlasting
Kingdom of God to come.
If we ask anything in Jesus’ name, the Lord will provide the answer to
our prayers. We have Christ’s power of attorney, the legal right to act
in His place and function on His behalf. We can use His name and
be assured that all of our needs will be acknowledged and fulfilled.
That gives us incredible, divine power and authority that will move both
heaven and earth in the days to come.
John 14:13-14 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing
in my name, I will do [it].”
Jesus Christ did not suffer and die an agonizing death just to save us
from our sins. He came to bring us life in abundance to the overflow,
as well. He wants to bless those who believe in His holy name and honor
His shed Blood. We are the righteousness of God in Him and entitled to
receive the promises of God. We are joint-heirs with Jesus to the
everlasting Kingdom of God with all its many benefits.
All that we must do is pray in Jesus’ name; make our needs known; and
almighty God will satisfy them.
He is never stingy when it comes to answering our prayers. He will meet
all of our needs exceeding abundantly more than we could ever ask or
think. He will supply all that we require to be healthy, happy and
content. He wants to share all the vast resources of the universe with
His people.
We have to get over our poverty mindset that tells us God will only
provide for those who have earned His favor. His greatest desire is to
bless all of His people extravagantly. He does not want us to worry or
fret over anything that we lack. He is our total source for all good
things – both spiritual and temporal. Peace and prosperity, health and
longevity, safety and security joy and freedom all belong to us.
They are our covenant promises for faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. The Bible says that if we ask anything in Jesus’ name, the Lord
will supply it. That leaves the field wide open for our imaginations to
soar. However, we cannot have fear, doubt and unbelief and hope to
receive from God. We must firmly believe that God is able to meet our
needs and thank Him in advance for doing just that.
Job 22:26-28 “For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and
shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him,
and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also
decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light
shall shine upon thy ways.”
We serve a great and glorious God. Nothing is impossible to Him. He
created us to be in intimate fellowship with Him and He loves to provide
for us and protect us from all harm. He has the heart of a Father and
He delights in meeting all of our needs in abundance. He wants us to
exercise our authority as believers, to decree and declare what we would
have Him do in our lives.
It is vital that we verbalize what we want to see materialize in the
natural realm, in order to have it actually manifest. We are speaking
spirits created in God’s own image and likeness. We must have a vision
and then command it into being. The words that we speak that line up
with the Word of God will always come to pass. We should avoid
negativity and speak only what we wish to have.
If we can see the end results from the beginning, as God does, we would
never fear or doubt His provision for any good thing. He wants us
blessed with all spiritual and temporal blessings, so that His name is
glorified to all of creation. We are righteous in His eyes, His very
own sons and daughters. He will never leave us ashamed or empty-handed
if we seek His face and ask for anything.
Whether we have need of wisdom and revelation, strength and endurance,
power and authority or perhaps material things like food, shelter or
money to meet our bills, the Lord will never let us down. If we
specifically state our request and believe it to be fulfilled, it will
be forthcoming. The Blood and the name of Jesus Christ Himself ensure
that we are entitled to receive all good things.
Chapter 4 - Our Call To Glory
Ephesians 1:4-6 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To
the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted
in the beloved.”
The Lord created us in His very image and likeness to fellowship
intimately with Him for all of eternity. There was never meant to be a
separation between man and God. He yearns for our companionship and
only sin and evil can estrange us from one another. When Adam and Eve
rebelled in the Garden of Eden, we lost our covenant relationship with
God because of that transgression.
However, almighty God never planned on allowing us to permanently slip
away from Him. He sent His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to
redeem us from our generational iniquity and deliver us from our sins.
Through the merits of Jesus’ Blood sacrifice on our behalf, we have been
restored to right standing with our heavenly Father and we are now
exonerated of all of our sin guilt.
When the Lord looks at us, He sees Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God who
was crucified for all of mankind. We are deemed fully righteous and
innocent of all of our sinfulness – past, present and future. We have
become brand new creatures in Christ and inherit the gift of eternal
life. Our minds are eventually renewed in the truth, and our behavior
is totally transformed until it becomes godly.
Christ was the firstborn from the dead of many sons and daughters of
almighty God. We are joint-heirs with Him to all the promises for
righteousness. We are actually seated with Him in heavenly places at
the right hand of God Himself. We are now accepted in the beloved and
the Lord has awesome plans for our lives. We have eternal callings and
divine destinies to fulfill in this world.
2Timothy 1:9 “Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling,
not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,”
The Lord has need of our help in rescuing others from darkness and
destruction in these last days. We are His goodwill ambassadors for the
Kingdom of God on this earth. He wants us to share our faith, so that
others can be set free to eternal life as we have been. We must preach
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every man, woman and child in every
country of the world.
There is a full number of souls that must be gathered in the end-time
harvest, before heaven can be brought to this earth. Every race, tongue
and nationality will be represented, as we usher in the Kingdom of God.
The Lord will gather all of the righteous, as He intended from the very
foundation of the world. He wants to dwell with the people who are
called by His name.
We are His kings and priests in training for reigning. We will soon
rule over all the nations with Jesus Christ Himself. We will teach all
of mankind to dwell in love, peace and unity together as brothers and
sisters. All men will know the Lord and the power of His might as it
works through us. We will glorify our Lord and Savior in everything
that we say and do.
Romans 8:28-30 “And we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his]
purpose. 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. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called:
and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them
he also glorified.”
We were created for a very specific purpose. Almighty God called us
from the beginning of time to be instrumental in these last days. We
were predestined to be conformed to the very image of Christ Himself.
We have been justified by His Blood and we will be glorified together
with Him. We are the Lord’s very own sons and daughters who will
positively impact the entire earth and everyone in it.
Our role is a significant one. We have been given a sacred charge to
rescue all of mankind from darkness and deception before Jesus Christ
can return to us and set up His everlasting Kingdom on this earth. We
have to preach the Gospel throughout the entire world and baptize all
those who are receptive. We will heal the sick and cast out demons in
Jesus’ name, and even raise the dead back to life.
We will demonstrate the love, mercy and compassion of God Himself for
His people. We will gather them into His Kingdom in huge numbers. No
one who is righteous will be left behind. We will make certain that
they are healed and whole, free from their bondage to sin and
oppression. We will reclaim the entire earth for the Kingdom of God and
prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive their King.
Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace are ye 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 hath before ordained that we should walk in
them."
We will fulfill Christ’s ministry on this earth, even before He returns
to us. We will do the works that He did and even greater works, since
He has gone to be with His heavenly Father. Everything that we do will
be by the power and authority of His Holy Spirit that works in and
through us. He will lead and direct us, so we are totally successful in
all of our efforts to serve Him and His people.
Believers will confront all world governments to ensure that they adopt
righteous, Kingdom principles in their dealings with one another. There
will be no more wars, violence, bloodshed and conflict. All men will
ultimately learn to dwell together as brothers and sisters in love,
peace and unity. We will abolish all social injustice, so that everyone
is treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
We will eliminate all poverty and lack, as the wealth of the wicked is
redistributed to the righteous. God’s people will become clearinghouses
for all the vast resources of the universe that are made available to
us. We will teach the affluent to share all of their material goods
with those who are less fortunate. The Lord will make certain that all
of our needs are met according to His riches in glory.
All of creation will be impacted as we command total harmony in the
plant and animal kingdoms. The climate will be regulated so that there
are no more natural catastrophes that cause death, devastation and
destruction. We will reverse the effects of all forms of pollution and
cleanse the earth of all its defilement, so that heaven itself can be
ushered in here in the everlasting Kingdom of God.
The Chosen Ones
Isaiah 43:10 “Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I
[am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after
me.”
Believers are witnesses for the Lord, Jesus Christ, who will represent
Him throughout the entire world. We are intimately acquainted with our
Lord and Savior and we will be His goodwill ambassadors for the
everlasting Kingdom of God. We will preach the Gospel of peace to every
man, woman and child with power and conviction and baptize many souls in
our faith.
Everyone will be given an opportunity to receive the gift of eternal
life. We will make salvation available to every race, tongue and nation
in this world. No one who is righteous will be rejected from the
Kingdom of almighty God. We will tell all of mankind the good news.
Jesus suffered and died so that we do not have to do the same. He
bought and paid for our redemption.
The Lord will demonstrate His love, mercy and compassion through His
people who are called by His holy
name. We will heal the sick of all their infirmities and deliver all
the captives from their bondage to sin and evil. We will even raise the
dead back to life once again. Nothing will be impossible to us, as we
serve the Lord and His people in miracles, signs and wonders.
We will walk in the supernatural realm in the days to come. Jesus
Christ will operate through us to touch the lives of everyone whose
names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. We will have angelic
hosts to assist us. We will gather in the full, end-time harvest of
souls that is necessary before heaven can be brought to this earth, and
glorify God in all that we say and do.
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God:
the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,
above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.”
All men will know that we are called of God and designated to represent
Him on this earth. We will be imbued with His awesome power. They will
be impressed and cooperate with our efforts to bring peace, order and
stability to our lives even before Christ returns to us. We will
establish godly principles as the norm and abolish war and violence,
poverty and lack, eliminating all social injustice.
We will prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive their King and
cleanse this planet of all its defilement, so that heaven itself can be
brought here. There will be total harmony in the plant and animal
kingdoms. Even the climate will be stabilized until it is temperate and
predictable. There will be no more natural disasters that cause death
and destruction. We will reverse the effects of all pollution.
The Kingdom of almighty God will be heaven on this earth for all those
who are eligible to enter into it. If we are righteous, loving and
obedient, we will be able to enjoy all of its many benefits. The Lord
will supply all of our needs in abundance and make certain that we are
healthy, happy and prosperous all the days of our lives. We will dwell
in safety and security, joy and freedom for all eternity.
Our God will boast of us to all of creation as His very own beloved sons
and daughters. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will take vengeance
on all our enemies and protect us from all harm. He will rule and reign
as a righteous King and as a generous benefactor. We will all learn to
fellowship in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters or be
forever banished from the Lord’s awesome presence.
1Peter 2:9 “But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of
him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
We are unique among all of God’s creatures. He conceived us in His very
own image and likeness from the very foundation of the world for such a
time as this. We are a chosen generation, a holy people, kings and
priests who will glorify Him and impact the future of the entire human
race. We will serve as righteous role models at all times and lead
others out of sin and darkness into His marvelous light.
The Lord is sanctifying us, so that we can be imbued with divine power
and authority to represent Him. We will walk just as Jesus Christ
Himself did and operate in miracles, signs and wonders even before He
returns. Nothing will be impossible to us in the critical days that lie
ahead. We will heal the sick, cast out demons and even raise the dead.
The glory of God will be manifested here on this earth.
Almighty God will move through His people who are called by His holy
name and demonstrate His deep, abiding love, mercy and compassion for
all of mankind. We will warn them of the impending judgment and offer
them the gift of eternal life in exchange for their sinfulness. If they
believe in Jesus Christ and confess Him as their personal Lord and
Savior, they will be redeemed just as we have been.
They will become new creatures in Christ. Their minds will be renewed
in the truth and their behavior transformed. They will be joint-heirs
with Jesus to all the promises for righteousness to include the Kingdom
of God. There is no good thing that He will ever withhold from them.
He will meet all their needs according to His riches in glory. They
will spend all of eternity in His holy presence.
Growing In Him
2Corinthians 5:17-18 “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;”
None of us can ever hope to be righteous in our own strength. We need
divine intervention to provide us with our salvation. The Lord knew all
that and offered up His very own Son, so that we could be redeemed from
all of our transgressions and delivered from all of our iniquity. Jesus
actually became sin for us and then suffered its penalty of death, so
that we could receive life in abundance to the overflow.
When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we become
new creatures in Him. Our sins are forgiven us, and we become righteous
before God. When the Lord looks at us, He sees Jesus in all of His
perfection and He does not impute any sin guilt to us. The slate has
been wiped clean once and for all, and we are accepted in the beloved as
the actual sons and daughters of almighty God.
Once we are born again in our spirit man, we are restored to right
standing with our heavenly Father. In fact, we are seated with Christ
in heavenly places at the right hand of God Himself. We become
joint-heirs with Jesus to all the promises for righteousness. There is
no good thing that the Lord will ever withhold from His people. We can
approach the throne of grace without fear, shame or condemnation.
There is no longer an impediment to our intimate relationship with our
Creator. The Lord will be certain to hear all of our prayers and meet
all of our needs according to His riches in glory. We are permanently
reconciled to Him by the Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, and covered for
all of our sins – past, present and future. We now have grace with our
God, His unmerited favor in everything that we do.
Colossians 3:1-4 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead,
and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, [who is] our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
Jesus Christ not only suffered and died just for us, but He also rose
again from the dead to the newness of life. He was the firstborn of
many sons and daughters of God who will be born again in their spirits.
If we believe in Him and all that He accomplished on our behalf, we will
be forever changed. He will assist us in our sanctification and lead
and guide us until we are perfected.
Our redemption is progressive and requires our cooperation. The Lord
will make certain that our minds are gradually renewed in the truth and
our behavior is transformed until it becomes godly. If we pray for the
baptism in His Holy Spirit, He is always faithful to respond to our
request. The Lord’s very own Spirit will permeate our entire being
until we are filled with His presence.
We must set our minds on things above instead of mundane matters. If we
empty ourselves of all carnality and selfish soul ambitions, the Lord
will imbue us with His very own power. It is critical that we imitate
the laid down life of Christ Himself. We have divine destinies to
fulfill that require us to be consecrated and dedicated to God’s plans
and purposes, rather than our own.
Jude 1:24-25 “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding
joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has called us to follow Him and make
disciples of the entire earth before He returns to us. He has been
given all power and authority and He has delegated it to us. We will
make salvation available to every man, woman and child. Everyone will
have an equal opportunity to repent of their sins and believe the truth
that sets them free once and for all time.
We will walk just as Christ did during His earthly ministry and do the
works that He did, and even greater works, now that He has gone to be
with His heavenly Father. Nothing will be impossible to us. We will
share our faith and work miracles, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name.
The blind will see; the deaf will hear; the lame will walk; and the poor
will have the Gospel preached to them.
The fate of all mankind will be positively impacted. We will share our
faith and see countless numbers saved and baptized to eternal life. The
sick will be healed of all their afflictions and infirmities. We will
cast out demons that hold men in bondage to sin and evil. We will even
raise the dead by the power of God that works through us to accomplish
His will on earth, as it is in heaven.
The Lord will be pleased with all of our efforts on His behalf and
gather us to Himself in the everlasting Kingdom of God. We will have
peace and prosperity, health and longevity, safety and security, joy and
freedom. He will actually come and dwell with us and make certain that
all of our needs are satisfied in abundance. There will no longer be a
separation between God and man.
Perfected For His
Glory
Philippians 3:12-14 “Not as though I had already attained, either were
already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for
which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not
myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting
those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
If we are followers of Jesus Christ, we must learn to discipline
ourselves and imitate His laid down life, so that we can be spiritually
perfected and attain to His glory. Ours is a high calling in Him, but
we are well able to achieve it with His help and direction. He will be
our strength against all temptation to evil and carry us through all
tests, trials and tribulation in our walk with Him.
We are brand new creatures in Christ and all things have become new for
us. Our minds are renewed in the truth and our behavior is gradually
transformed until we become righteous role models for others. We are
fully sanctified in body, soul and spirit, so that we can emulate Jesus
and lead others to Him. We will share our faith and make salvation
available to all those who are receptive.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached throughout the entire world
to every race, tongue and nation. We will baptize countless numbers of
souls to eternal life in the end-time harvest. Every man, woman and
child whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be called
and saved. No righteous individual will ever be denied entry into the
everlasting Kingdom of almighty God.
Mark 8:34-35 “And when he had called the people [unto him] with his
disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my
sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.”
It is vital that we repent of all known sin and renounce it for all
time. Our sanctification is an ongoing process that requires due
diligence on our part. We have to crucify our flesh and forego all of
our selfish soul ambitions in favor of God’s will for our lives. We
have divine destinies to embrace as His sons and daughters, which means
that we will have to take up our cross on a daily basis.
There are many souls still lost in sin and evil, darkness and deception,
and they need us to help rescue them from their present plight. We must
share the truth that we have been given, and be godly role models in all
that we think, say and do. We will show others the way to righteousness
through a sincere faith in Jesus Christ, and make the gift of eternal
life available to those who are receptive to it.
No one can come to the Father except through the cross of Christ. Our
faith is of the essence if we wish to be in right standing with our
Creator. Unless we share what we believe with others, they will be held
in perpetual bondage. Everyone will soon be held accountable for his
works in the flesh whether they were righteous or evil. If we cling to
our worldly ways, that will lead to our downfall.
Matthew 5:48 “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.”
The Lord expects us to strive for maturity as His sons and daughters.
He is holy and perfect and we must become like Him if we wish to dwell
in His awesome presence for all of eternity. We are well able to
imitate the laid down life of Jesus Christ and follow in His footsteps.
He will empower us to overcome the world, our flesh and the devil, so
that we resemble Him in every way.
We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. He will strengthen us
by the power of His Holy Spirit, so that we can lead sin-free lives and
grow in godliness. His Spirit will lead and guide us into all truth and
convict us of any known sin. If we walk in the Spirit, instead of our
flesh, we will reach spiritual perfection and learn to rule and reign in
this life and in the Kingdom to come.
Attributes like those of almighty God Himself will ultimately grow and
develop in us. We will become more peaceful, loving and joyous. Our
faith will increase proportionately to our willingness to surrender to
God. Goodness and gentleness will overtake us, so that all of our
personal relationships are enhanced. We will become meek, temperate and
longsuffering through the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 13:20-21 “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead
our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of
the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his
will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through
Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
We must submit our bodies as living sacrifices to almighty God and learn
to walk like Christ did while He was on this earth. He is our role
model for righteousness and godliness, and we are well able to imitate
His laid down life and operate just as He did during His earthly
ministry. We must resume His duties where He left off, and take back
the entire earth for the Kingdom of God.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ must be preached to all those who are still
in darkness and deception. We will share our faith and baptize
countless numbers of souls in the end-time harvest. We will work
miracles, signs and wonders to demonstrate the deep, abiding love that
God has for His people. We will heal the sick, cast out demons and even
raise the dead back to life again.
Nothing will be impossible to us in the critical days that lie ahead
before Christ returns. We will establish peace, order and stability in
all of our affairs. There will be no more wars, violence or conflict
anywhere. Poverty and lack will be eradicated once and for all. All of
mankind will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect, as we bring
heaven’s way of doing things to the earth.
God’s Power And Glory
Reflected In Us
Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the
earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon
thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come
to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”
The people of God will shine with His glorious light, as we usher in His
everlasting Kingdom to this earth. All of mankind will know that we are
called by His holy name and destined to change the fate of the entire
human race. We will be imbued with divine power and authority. We will
share our faith, as the Lord arranges our contacts, and be righteous
role models in all that we think, say and do.
All world governments will be impacted by our efforts. We will
challenge their leaders to treat all of their constituents with
fairness, dignity and respect. We will encourage peaceful negotiations
for resolving all conflict, so that there is order and stability in all
of our lives. We will teach all of mankind to dwell together as brothers
and sisters in love, peace and unity, as the Lord requires of us.
Christ has anointed us to take back the world and everyone in it before
heaven itself comes to this earth realm. We must establish godly
principles as the norm. Men can no longer be selfish and greedy. The
wealth of the wicked is being stored up for the righteous and it will
ultimately be released to God’s people. We will become clearinghouses
for all the vast resources that the universe has to offer.
Poverty and lack will be things of the past. There will be no more
famine, homelessness and pestilence anywhere. All men will have their
basic needs met and an abundance to share with others. They will
prosper and be in good health, even as their souls prosper. The
followers of Jesus Christ will make certain that all men, women and
children have hope and confidence for their future.
2Thessalonians 1:11 “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God
would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good
pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power: That
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in
him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
We have been well groomed for our divine destinies. The Lord has seen
to it that we are totally sanctified in the truth and strengthened in
our spirit man, so that we can take back the earth for the Kingdom of
God. We have been endued with divine power and authority to act in His
stead in the critical days to come. He will be glorified in all those
who are called by His holy name.
All of creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons and daughters
of God, so that we can set it free to the glorious liberty that we
experience. It has been contaminated by sin, wickedness and evil for
thousands of years. We will regulate the climate to be temperate and
predictable once again. There will be no more natural disasters that
cause death and destruction in their wake.
We will command all of the plants and animals to be in total harmony
with one another and subject to man once again. There will be no more
predatory spirit that devours the weak among us. We will reverse the
adverse effects of all forms of pollution and establish peace, order and
stability in this world. Everything that we do will be with almighty
God’s guidance and direction.
Nehemiah 1:10 “Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou
hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.”
All men will know that we are called of God to implement His will on
earth, just as it is in heaven. We will soon be treated with respect
for all that we have been entrusted to do. We will work miracles, signs
and wonders to attest to our faith, and attract countless numbers of
human beings to the Kingdom of God through our efforts. Many souls will
be won to eternal life.
We will heal the sick of all their diseases; there will be no infirm
among us any longer. We will cast out all demons that hold others in
bondage to sin and evil, and destroy the satanic strongholds in their
lives. We will even raise the dead back to life once again, so that
they can be reunited with all of their loved ones and enter in to the
everlasting Kingdom of God with the rest of us.
The righteous will be blessed in abundance in the days to come.
Almighty God will show Himself strong on our behalf. He will send
legions of ministering angels to meet all our needs. We will overcome
all evil with good and warn others of the impending judgment that will
come on all flesh when Christ returns to us. He will judge all men and
even angels to determine our fate.
The faithful will have many rewards for their devotion to the Lord and
His plans and purposes, but those who are stubborn and rebellious will
be banished from His awesome presence. He will tolerate no sin and evil
to ever enter into His Kingdom. Those who have disobeyed almighty God
and persisted in their lawlessness will be forever vanquished to the
eternal lake of fire.
Deuteronomy 11:25 “There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for]
the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon
all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.”
The Lord will soon take vengeance on all the enemies of His people. We
will no longer be scorned or derided for our faith. The righteous will
shine with the light of Christ and receive the everlasting Kingdom of
God as our legacy. We will be blessed beyond belief and rewarded for
all of our good works. Jesus will appoint us as kings and priest to
rule and reign with Him over all the nations of the world.
We will be judges of both men and angels, and teach others how to dwell
in love, peace and unity, as brothers and sisters. We will have the
heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth for our inheritance. All
men will ultimately know the Lord, and His laws will be written in their
minds and hearts for all time. We will be respected everywhere, as the
people who are called and chosen by His holy name.
No one will be able to stand against us, as we assume our rightful
positions in God’s Kingdom on this earth. The Lord will be our vanguard
and our rear guard. We will be delivered from all evil, safe and secure
from all harm. Jesus Christ will return to rule as a righteous King
with a rod of iron. He will make certain that His people are protected
from everything that might defile or contaminate them.
No Fear Here
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be
afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
The people of God will demonstrate that they are strong and courageous
in His mighty name. The Lord will never leave us or forsake us, no
matter how troubled things might become on this earth. He will be our
light in the darkness and our refuge in the storm. There may be new
territory for us to conquer, but we will walk in love and unity and
defeat all evil with good.
The Body of Christ will destroy all demonic strongholds that interfere
with our work, and bring peace, order and stability to everything we
touch. We will overcome the world, our flesh and the devil in the
critical days to come. The Lord will manifest Himself to all of mankind
through us. We will win many souls to eternal life through our efforts
on His behalf.
The fate of the entire planet will be impacted for good. We will
introduce and enforce godly principles as the norm in all of our human
affairs. The Kingdom of almighty God will advance on earth, as it is in
heaven, and absorb all worldly governments into its political and social
infrastructure. There will finally be justice in this world and all men
will be treated fairly.
Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with
thee whithersoever thou goest.”
The Lord will work though us to demonstrate His love, mercy and
compassion for all mankind. We will share our faith and baptize
countless numbers in the end-time harvest of souls. We will make
eternal life available to all those who are willing to repent of their
sins and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. No
righteous man, woman or child will be left behind.
We will walk in supernatural power and abilities in the days ahead. We
will lay hands on the sick and they will recover from all of their
afflictions. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the lame will
walk. We will cast out all demons that hold men in bondage to sin and
evil, and they will flee from us. We will even raise the dead back to
life once again, just as Christ Himself did.
Nothing will be impossible to us. Whatever the Lord asks us to do on
His behalf, we will be well able to achieve. He will equip us with a
full anointing of His very own power and authority to tread on serpents
and destroy all the works of the devil. We will take back this entire
earth for the Kingdom of God, so our Lord and Savior can return to
commence His eternal rule and reign.
Isaiah 35:4 “Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear
not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a
recompence; he will come and save you.”
We can have total faith and confidence in our future. The Lord has a
perfect plan in place for the full deliverance of all of mankind. He
will soon complete our redemption in spirit, soul and body, and set
matters straight in the universe once and for all. He is sending His
beloved Son back to this world to receive His everlasting Kingdom as an
eternal reward for all He accomplished.
Jesus Christ is not returning as a babe in the manger or a meek and mild
Lamb of God this time. He has vengeance in His heart to conquer all of
His enemies and to vindicate His people. He will destroy all the
ungodly and their ungodliness in the wrath of His coming. He will judge
all men, and even angels, to determine who has been righteous and who
deserves never ending punishment.
Our Lord and Savior will gather all of the faithful to Himself for all
of eternity, as we have been promised. However, the wicked and
rebellious will banished from His holy presence to the unquenchable lake
of fire. Christ will bind Satan and all of his minions in the
bottomless pit. No evil will enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God
to interfere with its peace and serenity or to defile God’s people.
Psalm 62:7 “In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my
strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.”
The Lord is our salvation – strength and refuge in our times of
trouble. He will never abandon us in any of our tests, trials and
tribulation. We can rely on the fact that our God is for us and not
against us in any way. He is only glorified when we are healthy and
happy, and prevail in all we do. He has a wonderful future planned for
His people and we will soon enter into it.
Our heavenly Father will come to this earth and actually take up
residence with the people who are called by His name. There will no
longer be a separation between God and man. We will dwell in His
awesome presence for all of eternity, as He planned from the foundation
of the world. We will worship Him in Spirit and in truth and give Him
the thanks that He deserves.
More Than Conquerors
Romans 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It
is] God that justifieth.”
One of the predominant mental strongholds that the enemy tries to impose
on God’s people is that we are forever lost in our sins. He wants us to
believe that we are weak and helpless in the face of his advances and
doomed to punishment. What Satan intended for evil in the Garden of
Eden when he tempted Adam and Eve to commit high treason against
almighty God, the Lord has turned for our good.
He sent His beloved Son to buy back our innocence and to help us to rule
and reign in this life and in the Kingdom to come. Jesus Christ was
totally victorious over sin, death and the grave. He defeated the devil
for all time and gave back dominion over all matters in this world to
His followers. We are now restored to our right standing with our
heavenly Father and esteemed as His own sons and daughters.
Our Lord and Savior not only redeemed us from all of our transgressions,
but He also came to bring us life in abundance to the overflow. We
should not permit, fear, doubt or unbelief to rob us of any benefits of
our birthright. We need not experience shame, guilt or condemnation
ever again. When the Lord looks at us, He sees us as being fully
righteous and justified by the merits of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
We are not slaves to almighty God; we are His beloved children. He
wants to lavish us with blessings and share all the vast resources of
the universe with us. Once we are persuaded that He is on our side, we
will abandon all of our carnality and selfish soul ambitions and accept
our eternal callings. The Lord is in need of our input in rescuing
others from the wickedness and evil that threaten to overtake them.
Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
us,”
We are called and chosen, the elect of God created for such a time as
this. We have divine destinies to fulfill that will change the fate of
the entire world. We will release all of mankind from darkness and
deception and provide them with the opportunity to receive eternal
life. We will share our faith with power and conviction and set every
man, woman and child free in the truth of the Gospel message.
Countless numbers of souls will be gathered in during the end-time
harvest that is coming on every race, tongue and nation. We will preach
Christ crucified and see many repent and be baptized in His holy name.
They will be redeemed and delivered of all of their afflictions once and
for all time. We will cast out demons that hold them in bondage to sin
and evil, and even raise the dead back to life again.
Nothing will be impossible to us in the critical days that lie ahead
before Christ returns to us. We will operate by the power and authority
of the Holy Spirit that works in us and through us to demonstrate the
deep, abiding love, mercy and compassion that our God has for His
people. Supernatural signs and wonders will follow us wherever we go,
and we will work many miracles to attest to our faith.
All of mankind will know that we are called of God and His
representatives on this earth. We will advance His everlasting Kingdom,
as we have been ordained. The entire world will be at peace, and men
will have all of their needs met in abundance from all the vast
resources that this universe has to offer. Our God will supply all that
we require to be healthy, happy and prosperous, until Jesus Christ
returns to us.
1John 4:4 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
We will overcome the world, our flesh and the devil and be totally
victorious in all that we say and do, because the “greater one,” Jesus
Christ, lives in us. We will take back the entire earth for the Kingdom
of almighty God and change the fate of all mankind. Nothing will remain
the same. We will confront all wickedness that we see and defeat it
with good.
All world governments will be challenged to line up with godly
principles of fairness and equality for all. There will be no more
social injustice; all men will be treated with dignity and respect. We
will eliminate all wars and conflicts, and finally bring peace order and
stability to this earth. There will be no more poverty and lack
anywhere; all needs will be met.
We will speak to all of creation and it will line up with the perfect
will of God. There will be total harmony among plants and animals, and
they will be subject to mankind once again as they were in the Garden of
Eden. The climate will be regulated to be temperate and predictable.
There will never be any more natural catastrophes that cause destruction
in their wake.
Romans 8:37-39 “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”
We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. He leads and guides
us by the power of His Holy Spirit and strengthens us to be successful
in all that we do. We are His goodwill ambassadors on this earth for
the Kingdom of God and we will impact all of mankind through our efforts
on His behalf. We will be righteous role models at all times and share
our faith with power and conviction.
Nothing will impede our progress or deter us in meeting our goals in the
critical days that lie ahead. We are the actual sons and daughters of
almighty God, who have been imbued with His very own power and
authority. We are world-changers, who are destined to bring heaven
itself to this earth realm. The Lord will send legions of ministering
angels to support us in everything we say and do.
We will tear down all demonic strongholds that keep men in bondage to
sin and evil. We will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with real
fervor and baptize all those who are called by His holy name. Everyone
whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be called and
saved to eternal life. Nothing will separate us from the awesome love
of God that works through us to rescue others.
The Kingdom of God will be ushered in with a flourish of power and
glory. We will teach all of mankind to dwell in love, peace and unity
as brothers and sisters. The Lord will be proud of His people and boast
of us to all of creation. Jesus Christ will share His very own honor
and glory with us. We will judge both men and angels, and rule and
reign with Christ over all of the nations of the world.
From Glory To Glory
Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
We are righteous only through our faith in Jesus Christ and all that He
accomplished on our behalf. He became a curse for us, so that we could
be blessed in abundance. He who knew no sin Himself, took on all the
sins of the world, suffered, died and was buried, so that we would not
have to endure the same fate. He rose again from the dead to honor and
glory, so that we could have grace and favor with almighty God.
Jesus served as our sacrificial substitute and paid our sin debt in its
entirety with His very own Blood. We are justified by our faith in Him
and we now have peace with God. There is no good thing that our
heavenly Father will ever withhold from us if we believe in His Son and
appropriate His righteousness. We can have hope and confidence for our
future, because we are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
Believers are Christ’s representatives on this earth – members of His
very own Body. We are His voice, hands and feet to all of mankind. We
must share what we have received with others, so that they can also be
blessed as we have been. We should preach the Gospel with fervor and
baptize all those who are receptive in Jesus’ name. It is not the
Lord’s will that anyone perish for lack of knowledge in the truth.
We are joint-heirs with Jesus, and we will soon inherit the Kingdom of
God as our eternal legacy. We will receive the heathen in the uttermost
parts of the earth. The Lord will confer His honor and glory on us. He
will boast of us to all creation as His sons and daughters, and appoint
us kings and priests. We will judge both men and angels, and even rule
and reign with Jesus Christ over all of the nations of the world.
2Corinthians 4:13 “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it
is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe,
and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus
shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you. For
all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through
the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.”
Almighty God formed us in His very own image and likeness to dwell in
honor and glory with Him all the days of our lives in a literal paradise
on this earth. Man may have temporarily interrupted that with his
transgression, but we have been restored to our original right standing
with our Creator. Through the merits of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on our
behalf, we have all of our privileges completely reinstated.
We are the beloved sons and daughters of God Himself. It is now
possible for us to live holy lives and fulfill our divine destinies, as
we are called to do. We will rescue all of mankind from sin, darkness
and deception and show them the way to receive the gift of eternal
life. We will make salvation available to all those who are receptive
to it by preaching the Gospel with power and conviction in the days
ahead.
Nothing will be
impossible to us if we serve the Lord as we should. He will imbue us
with His own divine power to work miracles in His name. We will lay
hands on the sick and they will recover. We will deliver men from all
their oppression and bondage to sin and evil of any kind. We will even
raise the dead back to life again to manifest the ultimate power of the
Holy Spirit of God that works in us and through us.
We will challenge all
world governments to establish peace, order and stability in our
affairs. There will be no more wars, violence or conflict anywhere. We
will command all of creation to line up with God’s Word, as it is spoken
through our mouths. Plants and animals will be in total harmony. The
climate will be regulated, and there will be no more pollution or
natural disasters that cause death and destruction.
All of mankind will
give the Lord thanks and praise for what He has done through His
people. He will boast of us to all of creation; grant us generous
rewards; and appoint us to be kings and priests. We will rule and reign
with Jesus Christ over all the nations of the world and teach others to
dwell in love, peace and unity. We will be glorified with our Lord and
Savior, just as He promised us that we would be.
2Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to
glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
If we sanctify ourselves of all known sin, the Lord will change us from
glory to glory and from strength to strength in our walk with Him. He
will assist us by the power of His Holy Spirit, so that we can lead
lives that are consecrated and dedicated to Him. If we are emptied out
of all carnality and selfish soul ambitions, almighty God can anoint us
with power and authority to represent Him on this earth.
We will be His goodwill ambassadors for the Kingdom of God and lead many
others to redemption through our efforts. We will make the Gospel of
Jesus Christ heard throughout the entire world. Every single man, woman
and child will have an equal opportunity to be saved to eternal life.
No one who is righteous will ever be left behind when the Lord gathers
His people to Himself, as He has promised.
The people of God will revolutionize the entire earth before Christ
returns. We will destroy all artificial barriers that keep us alienated
from one another. Men will learn to walk in love and unity as brothers
and sisters and share all of their resources with those who are in
need. We will bring peace, order and stability to all our affairs, and
prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive Jesus Christ as King.
Very soon now, our God will actually come and take up residence with the
people who are called by His holy name. He will shower us with
blessings in abundance for all of eternity. We will have peace and
prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and freedom
in His awesome presence. The Kingdom of God will be the answer to our
prayers and the solution to all our problems.
Chapter 5 - Vessels Of Honor And Glory
2Peter 1:2-4 “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power
hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.”
Almighty God created man in His very own image and likeness to
fellowship intimately with Him for all of eternity. We hold a very
special place in His heart, despite the fact that we have all sinned and
fallen short of His glory. If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our
personal Lord and Savior and been cleansed of all unrighteousness, we
now have peace with God. There is no good thing that He will ever
withhold from us.
We are His very own beloved sons and daughters, and He is extremely
proud of us. He knows that we struggle to maintain our faith in a
sin-darkened world, and He will never leave us or forsake us. He will
strengthen us in the power of His might, so that we can overcome the
world, our flesh and the devil. We are more than conquerors through
Christ Jesus, who leads and guides us into righteousness and godliness.
The Lord has destined us to greatness, and He will imbue us with all the
divine power and authority that we require to represent Him to the rest
of mankind. If we sanctify ourselves of all carnality and selfish soul
ambitions, we will walk just as Jesus did on the earth and resume His
ministry where He left off. We will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of
God with enthusiasm, and win many souls to eternal life as a result.
We will be the Lord’s goodwill ambassadors and manifest His inimitable
love, mercy and compassion for the entire human race. He will work
through us to demonstrate how much He desires men’s affection and
companionship. We will heal all those who are sick and afflicted, and
cast out demons that hold them in bondage to sin and evil. We will even
raise the dead back to life again by the operation of His Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
us, Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.”
Nothing will be impossible to us in the critical days that lie ahead of
us. The Lord will be with those who are called by His holy name. He
will exhibit His power and glory through us, so that the fate of all
mankind is positively impacted. We will take back the entire earth and
everyone in it for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We will exercise
our God-given dominion and usher in the Kingdom of God.
We will tear down all demonic strongholds that hold men in bondage to
sin and evil and separate them from one another and almighty God. All
world governments will have to line up with Kingdom principles of
fairness and justice for all or risk extinction. There will be no more
wars, violence or conflict in our human affairs. We will all learn to
dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Poverty and lack will disappear, as we learn to share all the vast
resources of the universe with those who are in need. Death and disease
will be things of the past. There will be astounding cures developed
for terminal diseases that have plagued mankind since the beginning of
time. Our natural environment will be regulated and all of creation
will be subject to man once again, as it used to be in the Garden of
Eden.
We will usher in the Kingdom of God with power. Nothing will deter or
detain us in our efforts. The Lord will assign legions of ministering
angels to assist us, so that everything that we do on His behalf is
totally successful. God’s perfect will must be implemented on this
earth, just as it is in heaven. All of Jesus Christ’s enemies must be
put underneath His feet, so He can return to us to receive His eternal
reward.
John 17:22-24 “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that
thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I
will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am;
that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou
lovedst me before the foundation of the world.”
We are one Body in Christ and He is glorified in us, as much as we are
glorified in Him and in one another. We will prevail all over this
earth, even before Christ returns to set up His everlasting reign. We
will share in His eternal legacy for righteousness and obedience. The
Kingdom of God will be our just reward for faithfulness and the Lord
will boast of us to all of creation.
We will be appointed as kings and priests and judge both men and
angels. We will have the heathen in the uttermost parts of the earth as
our inheritance. We will teach all men to dwell in love, peace and
unity as brothers and sisters and to worship our God in Spirit and in
truth. We will share in Christ’s very own honor and glory and rule and
reign with Him over all of the nations.
We will never be separated from our God ever again. Our heavenly Father
will actually come and take up residence with those who are called by
His holy name. He will supply all of our needs in abundance, and
restore all that has been taken from us over the years. Jesus Christ
will change these mortal bodies into new, glorious, resurrection forms
that are like His very own.
We will dwell in a literal paradise on the earth if we are eligible to
enter into the Kingdom of God. It will be the idyllic environment for
both God and man. All of creation will be beautiful and bountiful and
we will share in all the vast resources that this universe has to offer
us. There will finally be peace on earth and unlimited blessings for
all of God’s people for all eternity.
The Hope Of Glory
Colossians 1:27-28 “To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ
Jesus:”
We have been redeemed with a purpose that often transcends our human
comprehension. Jesus Christ served as our sacrificial substitute, so
that we could have life in abundance to the overflow. He, who knew no
sin, became sin for us, and then paid its penalty with His own life so
that we could be blessed. Jesus suffered, died and was buried, so that
we do not have to endure the same fate.
Our Lord and Savior rose from the dead to the newness of life and He now
lives in each and every one of us who believe in Him. That should give
us confidence for our future. Christ in us is the hope of glory.
Through Him, we can do all things and reach full, spiritual maturity.
We can actually grow and develop by the power of His Holy Spirit until
we become holy and perfect, just as He is.
If we sanctify ourselves of all carnality and forego our selfish soul
ambitions, Jesus Christ will be able to entrust us with His very own
anointing power and authority to resume His ministry on this earth where
He left off. We will be able to walk just as He walked, doing the good
works that He did. We will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and
baptize many souls in His awesome name.
Believers will make salvation to eternal life available to every man,
woman and child in every nation of the world. We will heal the sick of
all their afflictions, and cast out demons that hold others in bondage
to sin and evil. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the lame
will walk through our efforts. We will even raise the dead back to life
again through the power of the Holy Spirit of God.
Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Ever since we have been born again through our faith in Jesus Christ as
the Son of God, who came to save us from our sins, our lives have
changed as never before. We are brand new creatures as a result. The
old, sinful man is dead and our spirit man is alive and thriving. We
now have peace with God and our right standing with Him is restored to
what it originally was at the time of our creation.
We have become God’s very own sons and daughters by faith. He calls us
His beloved and we now have rights and privileges. We are joint-heirs
with Jesus to all the promises for righteousness. There is no good
thing that He will ever withhold from us. The entire creation is
subject to our dominion, and all that we must do is learn to exercise it
according to the Lord’s eternal plans and purposes.
Almighty God has divine destinies in mind for each and every one of us.
He called us from the very foundation of the world for such a time as
this. We will be imbued with His divine power and authority to serve as
His personal, goodwill ambassadors on this earth. We will usher in His
everlasting Kingdom, and prepare the hearts of all of mankind to receive
Jesus Christ as their righteous King.
We will glorify our God in all that we think, say and do on His behalf.
He will manifest His awesome presence in our midst and demonstrate His
love, mercy and compassion through us. Men will know that the Lord is
still in charge of the entire universe, and that He cares deeply for His
people. He has a perfect plan in place for our well-being now, and in
the Kingdom to come, for all eternity.
Ephesians 1:17-18 “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
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the
glory of his inheritance in the saints,”
The fate of the entire human race will be positively impacted in the
days to come before Jesus Christ returns to us. The sons and daughters
of almighty God will rescue all those who are still lost in sin and
darkness and set matters straight all over this earth. The Kingdom of
God will manifest and advance until it encompasses this whole world with
Christ’s unfailing love and righteousness.
We will bring peace, order and stability to all of our lives and restore
all of creation to its original beauty and balance. We will confront
all evil and overcome it with good. We will establish godly principles
as the norm in all of our human affairs. There will be fairness and
justice for all of mankind. All men, women and children will be treated
with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
Soon there will be no more poverty and lack, no death and destruction
anywhere in this world. God’s will must be implemented on this earth,
just as it is in heaven. He will sovereignly move to heal His people
and deliver us from all bondage and oppression. He will supply all of
our needs in abundance. We will have peace and prosperity, safety and
security, health and longevity, joy and freedom.
Jesus will work through those who are called by His holy name and bring
heaven itself to this earth realm. Our Lord and Savior will be glorified
in His holy saints for all of eternity. He will share His very own
honor and glory with us. We will be appointed kings and priests of God,
so that we can minister effectively to His people. We will rule and
reign with Christ over all the nations of the world.
The Glory of God
Fills His People
Ephesians 3:16-19 “That he would grant you, according to the riches of
his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and
grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is]
the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God.”
If we have been born again and redeemed to eternal life, then our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, actually dwells in us. We are brand new
creatures in Him. We have cast off our old sin nature and our minds are
being renewed in the truth. If we imitate Christ’s laid down life and
present our bodies as living sacrifices to God, our behavior will
eventually be transformed until it becomes holy and perfect.
The glory of almighty God will descend on His people in a dramatic way
in the critical days to come. We must be sanctified in the truth;
strengthened in our spirit man; and operate in love at all times. Then
we will be imbued with divine power and authority to impact this entire
earth. We will be filled with all the fullness of God, so that we are
able to serve His people in everything that we say and do.
We will impact the fate of all mankind as we usher in the Kingdom of
God. We will implement God’s ways of doing things, so that there is
peace, order and stability in all of our affairs. We will confront all
evil that we see and overcome it with good. There will be no more wars
and conflict, no poverty and lack, no death and destruction anywhere.
Heaven will come to this earth, as the Lord intends.
Very soon now, all men will dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers
and sisters or be banished to the eternal lake of fire for all
eternity. The Lord loves us with a deep abiding love, but He will
tolerate no strife and division among us. We will all be righteous or
be cast out of His holy presence. The everlasting Kingdom of God will
be paradise on this earth and nothing will ever disturb its tranquility.
Philippians 1:9-11 “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more
and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment; That ye may approve things
that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the
day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are
by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”
We will walk just as Jesus Christ walked on this earth, and introduce
His perfect moral code and godly value system to the entire human race.
We will dispel all sin and darkness by exposing it to the light. We
will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with zeal and set men free in the
truth for all time. We will make redemption to eternal life available
to all those who repent and accept Jesus as Lord.
The Kingdom of God will manifest through us and ultimately cover the
entire earth. We will demonstrate the power and glory of almighty God
to all those we meet. We will heal the sick of all their afflictions
and cast out demons that hold men in bondage to sin and evil of any
kind. We will even raise the dead back to life again, and perform
various other miracles, signs and wonders to attest to our faith.
All men, women and children will learn to dwell in love, peace and unity
as brothers and sisters through our righteous example. We will share
our faith with power and conviction and serve as godly role models. The
wealth of the wicked will be redistributed to those who serve the Lord,
so that all of our needs are met in abundance. We will share in all the
vast resources that this universe has to offer us.
There will be a major shift in our social interactions. Artificial
barriers that separate us from one another will be abolished. There
will be no more class distinctions. We will introduce Kingdom
principles of fairness, equality and justice to all our human affairs.
Any demonic strongholds that keep us at odds with one another will be
torn down and replaced with peaceful negotiation and compromise.
The Lord will tolerate no strife and division among us. He expects us
to treat others, as we do ourselves. Men will ultimately adhere to
God’s perfect ways or be forever banished from His holy presence.
Nothing that contaminates either God or man will ever enter into His
everlasting Kingdom to disturb its peace. We must be loving, righteous
and obedient to inherit eternal life with all of its many benefits.
2Thessalonians 2:14-17 “Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the
obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, Therefore, brethren,
stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether
by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God,
even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting
consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and
stablish you in every good word and work.”
As we approach the time for Christ’s return to us, the people of God
will resemble Him more and more. We will go from strength to strength
and glory to glory in our walk with Him. We will resume His ministry on
this earth and magnify His name wherever we go and whatever we do. Our
Lord and Savior will be exalted throughout this entire earth through the
people who are called by His holy name.
We are the sons and daughters of God Himself, joint-heirs with Jesus to
all the promises of God. We will prepare the hearts of all mankind to
receive Christ as their King. We will warn them of the impending
judgment and urge them to get their souls and spirits right with God.
We will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God with a renewed fervor,
and baptize countless numbers to eternal life as a result.
Believers will bring peace, order and stability to the earth and prepare
it for heaven to be ushered in. The Kingdom of God will be a literal
paradise for all those who are deemed eligible to enter in. We will
lack no good thing, spiritual or temporal. The Lord will meet all of
our needs in abundance. Anyone who is righteous, loving and obedient
will dwell in the presence of almighty God Himself for all eternity.
Those of us who have served the Lord and been devoted to His people will
reap generous rewards for our efforts. We will share in Christ’s very
own honor and glory. He will boast of us to all creation. We will have
the heathen for our inheritance in the uttermost parts of the earth. We
will be appointed kings and priests of God, so that we can continue to
minister to His people, and to rule and reign with Christ.
Vessels of Honor
Romans 9:22-23 “[What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make
his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath
fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his
glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,”
There are children of God and children of the devil on this earth. The
Lord has had mercy on all of us and been longsuffering, despite the fact
that we have all sinned and fallen short of His glory. He developed a
perfect redemption plan, so that we could be spared His wrath by
embracing the truth. If we repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord
and Savior, we will become new creatures in Him.
Almighty God knew from the very foundation of the world whom He could
call and trust to fulfill His perfect will on this earth. He created us
in His very own image and likeness to embrace divine destinies as His
sons and daughters. We are elect and chosen as vessels of honor for use
by the Lord in these last days. We have a sacred charge to usher in the
everlasting Kingdom of God on this earth.
We cannot be focused on mundane matters and serve God, as we should, at
the same time. We must be emptied out of all that defiles us. We must
crucify our fleshly lusts and forego all of our selfish, soul ambitions
in favor of the Lord’s plan and purpose. He wants us to serve as
righteous role models to those who are still lost in sin and darkness
and lead them to the light, before it is too late.
It will be critical that we challenge all mankind to seek the Lord and
change their ways in the days that lie ahead. Our God cannot do
anything for those who are ignorant or rebellious. He will be kind and
merciful to all those who are repentant and believe the truth. However,
those who are stubborn and lawless will go to perdition. Only the
righteous will inherit eternal life with all of its many benefits.
2Timothy 2:19-21 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,
having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one
that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great
house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood
and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man
therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and meet for the master's use, [and] prepared unto every
good work.”
Our God knows His own sons and daughters. They are created in His image
to fulfill divine destinies. We may not be aware of who we are as of
yet, but make no mistake, the Lord will call us to His service as the
need arises. Our part is to surrender all that we are and all that we
have to our God, so that He can anoint us with His very own power and
glory to serve as His representatives on this earth.
We must sanctify ourselves of all defilement to our body, soul and
spirit. We should present ourselves as living sacrifices to almighty
God, so that He can move through us. He needs us to exercise our
dominion and take back the earth from Satan, the enemy of our souls. We
will be very busy in the critical days that lie ahead, but we are well
able to succeed in all that we say and do on His behalf.
The Lord will equip and empower us, so that we can act in His stead. We
will rescue countless numbers from sin and darkness and make salvation
available to them before it is too late. We will share our faith with
power and conviction and baptize many souls in Jesus’ precious name. We
will bring light and life through faith in Jesus Christ to a sick and
dying world that is desperate for the truth.
All men will look to us for guidance and direction as the Day of the
Lord approaches. They will be afraid of all that is coming on them and
seek the truth with all their hearts. We must be fully prepared to lead
them into salvation. They must repent of all their sins and accept
Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, in order to be saved to eternal
life and to enter into the everlasting Kingdom of God.
2Corinthians 4:7 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
Nothing that we do will be done in our own strength. The Lord will
accomplish mighty feats through a people who are yielded to Him. He
will demonstrate His very own love, mercy and compassion through those
of us who are willing to serve others. We will heal the sick of all
their afflictions; cast out demons that hold others in bondage to sin
and evil of any kind; and even raise the dead back to life once again.
We will confront all world governments and persuade them to adopt godly
principles in their dealings with one another. There will be no more
wars, bloodshed or insurrection anywhere. We will bring peace to the
earth, as the Lord desires, and teach all of mankind to dwell together
as brothers and sisters. We will abolish all social injustice and
remove class distinctions that cause enmity and separate us from others.
Poverty and lack will eventually be eradicated, as we teach all of
mankind to share their resources with one another. There will be no
more no more disease and death, no needless destruction of the earth or
its people. The Kingdom of God and His government will be advanced on
this earth, as it is in heaven. Jesus Christ will then be free to
return to us to set up His everlasting rule and reign, as we have been
promised.
Our Lord and Savior will rule with a rod of iron as righteous King, and
He will tolerate no defilement to ever enter into His Kingdom. The name
of the Lord will be magnified everywhere, and all of mankind will learn
to worship God in Spirit and in truth or be banished from His holy
presence. Almighty God will make certain that His way of doing things
prevails, so that order and stability are restored to His creation.
Colossians 1:10-12 “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious
power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in light:”
Everything that we do will give glory to our God and be pleasing to Him.
We will fulfill our divine destinies as His very own sons and daughters
and do the works that Jesus did on this earth. We will be willing bond
slaves to Him and resume His ministry on this earth as we are ordained
to do. We will demonstrate His love, mercy and compassion to the entire
human race.
Believers will be peacemakers and providers, preachers and protectors.
We will share our faith as the Lord arranges our contacts and gather in
the full end-time harvest of souls that is required before heaven can be
brought to this earth realm. Everyone whose name is written in the
Lamb’s Book of Life will eventually be called, converted and baptized
unto eternal life, just as we have been.
No man, woman or child who longs for the truth will be left behind. All
of the righteous from every nation will enter into the everlasting
Kingdom of God. We will teach all of mankind to dwell in love, peace
and unity with one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord. We will
share equally in all the vast resources that the universe has to offer
us, so that no one lacks for any good thing.
We will advance the Kingdom in this world, so that there are sweeping
changes made to all of our lives. It will literally be heaven on the
earth for all those who are loving, righteous and obedient. The wheat
will eventually be separated from the chaff and all of the rebellious
will be cast into the unquenchable lake of fire. There will be nothing
and no one left that defiles either God or man.
God Is Glorified In
Us
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in
them.”
We are God’s masterpieces created in Christ Jesus to do good works that
will glorify His holy name. We were called from the very foundation of
the world for such a time as this. We are elect and chosen to serve as
His goodwill ambassadors on the earth. We will impact the lives of all
mankind in the critical days to come. If we are willing and obedient,
the Lord can use us to minister to His people in a significant way.
If we have sanctified ourselves of all our carnality and selfish soul
interests, we will be imbued with divine power and authority to
represent our Lord and Savior. We will resume His ministry where He
left off and prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive Christ as
their King. We will urge others to repent and be converted to the
truth. We will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and baptize many souls
to eternal life.
Nothing will be impossible to us if we follow the Lord’s specific
guidance and direction. We will heal the sick of all their
afflictions. There will be no more incurable diseases. The blind will
see; the deaf will hear; and the lame will walk. We will cast out all
demons that hold men in bondage and oppression of any kind. We will even
raise the dead back to life again, just as Jesus Christ Himself did when
He walked the earth.
The Lord has a vision of His people that will revolutionize the entire
human race. He wants us to be operating in full power and dominion. We
will tear down all demonic strongholds that interfere with our work and
overcome all evil with good. This whole world will be positively
impacted with the Kingdom of God as it manifests through each of us. We
will glorify our Creator in everything that we think, say and do.
1Peter 4:10 “As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the
same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If
any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man
minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God
in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
We are the Body of Christ – His hands, feet and voice. He has given us
a divine commission, and we will glorify Him as we take back the entire
earth for the Kingdom of God. We will confront all evil that we see and
overcome it with good. Soon there will be no more wars, violence or
conflict anywhere. We will bring peace, order and stability to all of
our human affairs.
There will be no more class distinctions or social injustice of any
kind. We will challenge all world governments and their leaders to
adopt godly principles of fairness and justice in their dealings with
one another. All tyranny and despotism will be eliminated. Poverty and
lack will be totally abolished, as the people of God take control of all
the world’s finances.
All of creation will be impacted by the sons and daughters of God. We
will set it free to the glorious liberty that we enjoy. Plants and
animals will be in harmony and subject to man as they once were in the
Garden of Eden. The climate will be regulated to be temperate and
predictable. There will be no more natural disasters that cause death
and destruction in their wake.
We will reverse the damaging effects of all forms of pollution. Our
environment will be restored to its original beauty and balance, so that
it is the perfect abode for both God and man. There will be nothing
that contaminates or defiles our lives. All of mankind will revel at
the bounty of nature, and share equally in all the vast resources that
this universe has to offer us.
Romans 8:16-18 “The Spirit itself beareth 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. For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which
shall be revealed in us.”
The Holy Spirit bears witness to the fact that we are the children of
God. We call our heavenly Father “Abba” or “Daddy.” Ours is an
intimate relationship that is originated and developed in mutual love
and trust. We have rights and privileges, but sacred responsibilities,
as well. The Lord wants to partner with us in rescuing others from
bondage to darkness and deception, before it is too late.
Our God is proud of those who are called by His holy name that have the
courage to step out and do all that He asks of us. We have divine
destinies as His sons and daughters. We are joint-heirs with Jesus to
all the promises of God, but we must also assume our share of His
ministry on this earth. That may not always be pleasant or easy for us,
but we will glorify almighty God in everything that we do.
It will be vital that we remain very close to the Lord and stay
intimately connected with one another. There is strength in numbers and
genuine power in unity. What happens to one of us, affects us all. We
should bear one another’s burdens and share one another’s joys. It is
very important that we pray for our brothers and sisters and encourage
each other, especially as the Day of the Lord approaches.
We can have hope and confidence for our future. The Lord has a perfect
plan in place for our eternal well-being. He will never leave us or
forsake us. We will escape His wrath and be gathered into His
everlasting Kingdom, as He has promised us. Christ will share His very
own honor and glory with His people. We will be appointed kings and
priests and rule and reign with Him over all the nations.
Worthy Of Honor And
Glory
2Thessalonians 1:11-12 “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our
God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good
pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him,
according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The Lord loves us with a deep, unconditional love that transcends
anything that we could ever imagine. He formed us in His very image and
likeness to be with Him for all of eternity. However, sin got in the
way of that plan and interrupted our intimate relationship with our
God. He wants us to return to Him and seek the truth, so that we can be
permanently reconciled with Him.
He sent His very own Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us of all our
transgressions and to restore us to right standing with Him. If we
believe in Christ and all that He accomplished on our behalf, we will be
saved to eternal life. We will become new creatures in Him, and our
sins will be blotted from God’s memory. The Lord sees us as being
righteous by the merits of the Blood.
We are now sons and daughters of God and heirs to all of His promises.
We have divine destinies that we must embrace before heaven itself can
be brought to this earth in the Kingdom of God. We must sanctify
ourselves and consecrate all of our efforts to serving the Lord and His
people. We will share our faith and rescue countless numbers from sin,
darkness and deception.
Almighty God is relying on us to demonstrate His love, mercy and
compassion to the entire human race. It is not His will that any man
perishes for lack of knowledge in the truth. We will preach the Gospel
with zeal and enthusiasm and win many souls in the end-time harvest. We
will heal them of all their afflictions, cast out all demons and even
raise the dead back to life again.
We will be found worthy of our calling and glorify our God in everything
that we say and do. We will advance His Kingdom on this earth and
change the fate of all mankind. People everywhere will be given the
opportunity to be saved to eternal life with all its benefits. No one
that is sincere will be left behind when the Lord comes to gather His
people to Himself forever.
1Peter 5:6-10 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for
he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all
grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after
that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen,
settle [you].”
The Lord can only work through a people who are humble and contrite,
yielded and determined to do whatever it takes to bring heaven to this
earth. If we cast our cares on Him, He will be faithful to supply all
of our needs in abundance. There is no good thing that we will ever
lack if we put our trust in the Lord. He is fully behind us in anything
that we undertake. Our God will assign legions of ministering angels to
support all our efforts in the critical days to come.
It will be vital that we be willing and obedient to do all that the Lord
requires of us. We are His special representatives for the Kingdom of
God on the earth and everyone will be looking to us for guidance and
direction. Wickedness and evil will soon escalate and only those who
are anointed for good will prevail. The fate of all mankind hangs in
the balance and we must not fail. We will have tests, trials and
tribulation, but Christ will be with us in all we are called to do.
He will strengthen us by the power of His might, as it works through us
to deliver others from their bondage to sin and evil. We will preach
the Gospel of Jesus Christ with real conviction and baptize many souls
to eternal life in the process. Every man, woman and child will have an
equal opportunity to be saved. We will encourage them to repent of all
their sins and totally sanctify themselves, so they can join us in
entering into the everlasting Kingdom of God.
We will grow and develop into mature sons and daughters who lead many
others into righteousness and godliness. We will be fitting role
models, and teach all of mankind to dwell together in love, peace and
unity as brothers and sisters in the Lord. They will follow our
example and worship our God in Spirit and in truth, as He desires. The
entire earth will be cleansed of all defilement through our efforts, and
Jesus Christ will then return to rule and reign as our King.
1Thessalonians 2:12 “That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called
you unto his kingdom and glory.”
The people of God will shine with His glorious light, and give hope and
confidence to all of mankind in the critical days that lie ahead of us.
We will bring peace, order and stability to this entire earth, so that
heaven can be brought here in the Kingdom of God. There will be no more
wars, violence or bloodshed anywhere. Men will learn to negotiate their
differences and share all their resources with one another.
Strife and division will be abolished. We will learn to resolve
conflict in a positive way. Poverty and lack will be things of the
past. We will be good stewards of God’s wealth. Class distinctions and
social injustice will not even be named among us. All of mankind will
be treated with fairness, dignity and respect. The children of God
will learn to dwell together in unity as brothers and sisters.
We will command harmony in all of creation, as we eliminate all
predatory spirits. Plants and animals will all be compatible and
subject to us once again, as they were in the Garden of Eden. The
climate will be regulated to be temperate and predictable. There will
be no more natural disasters that cause death and destruction. All
adverse effects of pollution will be reversed and the earth will be
cleansed.
The Kingdom of almighty God will be advanced all over this planet, as
the Lord desires. Jesus Christ will be glorified in those of us who are
called by His name. We will live in a literal paradise on the earth.
The Lord will shower us with abundance and meet all our needs even
before we ask Him. There will be peace and prosperity, safety and
security, health and longevity, joy and freedom for God’s people.
The Lord will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore all that
we have lost or had stolen over the years. He will change these mortal
bodies into glorious, resurrection forms that never get sick and die
ever again. We will dwell in beautiful homes and see our offspring for
all generations to come. All flesh will worship almighty God and be in
an intimate relationship with Him, as He has always desired.
Revelations 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to
take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.”
Jesus Christ will soon return to us as our fair Judge and righteous
King. Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim, that He is “Lord
over all of creation.” He will be glorified in heaven and on the earth
as He receives His everlasting Kingdom as His just reward. He will
gather all of the righteous to Himself for all eternity, and banish
Satan and all wrongdoers from our midst.
There will be nothing that ever contaminates either God or man. Jesus
will rule with a rod of iron and enforce godly principles in all of our
affairs. We will dwell in love, peace and unity with both men and
angels. The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance even before we
ask Him. There will be no death and disease, no strife and division, no
poverty and lack ever again.
Our heavenly Father will come and take up residence with His people in
the Kingdom of God forever more. There will be no more separation
between God and man. We will worship Him in Spirit and in truth and
celebrate all of His sabbaths and perpetual feast days with joy and
gladness in our hearts. The Lord will fellowship intimately with us as
His very own sons and daughters.
Christ will share His honor and glory with those who have faithfully
served Him and ministered to His people. We will judge both men and
angels and even be appointed as kings and priests of almighty God. We
will have the heathen in the uttermost parts of the earth for our
inheritance. We will rule and reign with Jesus Christ over all the
nations of the world as we are destined to do.
Glorious Overcomers
1John 5:4-5 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Who is
he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the
Son of God?”
If we have been born again and baptized with the Holy Spirit, we will
eventually overcome the world, our flesh and the devil. Neither our
carnal lusts, nor mundane things or even the gates of hell will prevail
against us. We will be victorious in all that we say and do. Our faith
in Jesus Christ will help us to be conquerors. We will take back this
entire earth for the Kingdom of God.
We have been given divine power and authority to discharge our duties.
We will preach the Word of God and see many converted to our faith. We
will baptize countless souls in the end-time harvest and make salvation
available to all of mankind, before it is too late. We will rescue
those who are in perpetual bondage to sin and evil and set them free to
receive the gift of eternal life.
The Lord will work through us to minister to His people in love, mercy
and compassion. We will lay hands on the sick and they will all
recover. We will cast out demons in Jesus’ mighty name and watch them
flee. We will even raise the dead back to life again, so that they can
join us in entering into the Kingdom of God.
Nothing will be impossible if we are diligent to do all that God asks of
us.
We will ultimately bring peace, order and stability to this entire
planet and prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive Christ as their
King. We will demonstrate that almighty God is still in charge of His
creation and set matters straight in the natural world. There will be
total harmony in the plant and animal kingdoms and the climate will be
regulated to be temperate and predictable.
1Peter 1:5-7 “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly
rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness
through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:”
We have important roles in the Lord’s eternal redemption plan. We must
exercise our God-given dominion over all things on this earth. It will
not be easy; we will have various tests, trials and tribulation. Our
faith will be challenged, and others will scorn and deride us for
following the one, true God. We will have to be girded with strength in
our spirits, so that we can overcome all obstacles.
Believers will confront all world governments and urge them to adopt
godly principles in dealing with one another. We will abolish all wars,
violence and conflict from our human affairs. There will be no more
poverty and lack that keeps men in bondage. We will share all the vast
resources of the universe with one another. All people will soon be
treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
We will take the Kingdom of God by sheer determination and overthrow all
demonic strongholds that impede our progress. Nothing will deter or
detain us in serving the Lord. There will soon be peace, order and
stability established everywhere, so Jesus Christ can return to the
earth to commence His eternal rule and reign. He will share His very
own honor and glory with His followers.
Revelations 2:26 “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the
end, to him will I give power over the nations:”
Our Lord and Savior will soon return to us to set up His everlasting
Kingdom on this earth, as He has promised. He will judge the living and
the dead, the church and the nations. Only He can determine who is
deserving of eternal blessings and rewards. He will banish Satan and
all of his minions to the bottomless pit and cast all evildoers into the
unquenchable lake of fire.
There will be no more disease and death. The Lord will change our
mortal bodies into new, glorious, resurrection forms. He will meet all
of our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. We will have safety
and security; nothing will ever harm or defile us ever again. Jesus
Christ will make certain that His people are healthy, happy and
prosperous for all of eternity.
Those of us who have faithfully served Our Lord and Savior will be
sharing in His honor and glory. He will appoint us to be kings and
priests of God, so that we can continue to minister to His people. We
will have the heathen in the uttermost parts of the earth for our
inheritance. We will judge both men and angels, and teach them how to
worship our God in Spirit and in truth.
The Lord will boast of us to all creation as His very own sons and
daughters, and fellowship intimately with us as He always desired. All
men will be righteous and holy or be removed from our midst. They will
learn to dwell together as brothers and sisters in love, peace and
unity. We will rule and reign with Christ over all the nations of the
world and enforce godly principles.
Chapter 6 - God Gives Power To His People
Isaiah 40:29-31 “He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have]
no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be
weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not
faint.”
Almighty God knew us from before the foundation of the world and He has
great plans for our lives. We are His very own sons and daughters, who
will partner with Him in rescuing the entire world from destruction.
The Lord will move through His people who are called by His name. If we
wait upon Him, we will rise up with wings like eagles and manifest His
awesome presence on earth, just as it is in heaven.
The Lord wants all of His people to be strong and powerful in His might,
so that we can overturn the kingdom of darkness and occupy this earth
until Jesus Christ returns to us. If we are sanctified of all our
carnality and selfish soul ambitions, we can be used to work miracles,
signs and wonders in His name. We will be imbued with His very own
divine power and authority to accomplish great feats in the days ahead.
The Holy Spirit will work through us to impact the fate of all mankind.
We will destroy all demonic strongholds that hold men in bondage to sin
and evil. There will be no more darkness and deception that separates
man from God. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached with
conviction and the end-time harvest of souls will be gathered in its
entirety, so that the righteous can enter into the Kingdom of God.
If we rely upon the Lord and seek His guidance and direction, absolutely
anything will be possible to us. He will anoint us as He did Jesus
Christ, and we will resume His ministry where He left off. We will lay
hands on the sick and they will recover. We will cast out demons in His
name and they will flee. If we are confident in all of the power and
authority that we have been given, we will even raise the dead back to
life.
Romans 8:14-16 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again
to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God:”
The Holy Spirit of God will come and dwell in our spirits if we invite
Him. The Lord will always respond favorably to our request for more of
Him. There is no good thing that He will ever withhold from us. We are
the sons and daughters of God Himself, and He will soon boast of us to
all creation. We will rescue countless numbers from sin and evil and
make eternal life available to all those who are receptive.
We can trust that almighty God will deliver us from all evil and keep us
from being entangled again in the things of this world, if we present
our bodies as living sacrifices to Him. He will uphold us with His very
own right hand, and give us divine favor and grace in all that we think,
say and do. He will enable us to succeed in all that we attempt to do
to advance His Kingdom on this earth, just as it is in heaven.
The people of God will be imbued with power and authority from on high
to achieve the virtually impossible on His behalf. If we consecrate and
dedicate ourselves to the Lord’s plan and purpose, we will revolutionize
this entire earth in the critical days to come. We will bring peace,
order and stability to all of our human affairs, as we are destined to
do, and establish godly principles as the standard to follow.
Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high [places].”
We will have to put on the whole armor of God in the critical days that
lie ahead of us. We are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but
against powers and principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places.
The devil knows that his time on this earth is short and that the people
of God are anointed to overthrow all wickedness and evil. He will do
everything he can to deter and detain us.
However, we will strike back offensively and overcome all evil with
good, as we are destined to do. We will confront all world governments
and challenge them to establish godly principles in their dealings with
one another. We will abolish all wars, violence, bloodshed and conflict
from off the face of the entire earth. There will soon be peace, order
and stability everywhere we look.
Poverty and lack will become things of the past, as we persuade all men
to share their possessions with those who are less fortunate. The Lord
will transfer the wealth of the wicked to the righteous, so that we can
become clearinghouses for His bounty. All of the vast resources of the
universe will be at our disposal. The people of God will not want for
any good thing, spiritual or temporal.
We will speak to all of creation and restore it to its original beauty
and balance. It has been in turmoil for thousands of years and the
enemy has wreaked havoc on all forms of life. We will command plants
and animals to be in perfect harmony with one another. The climate will
be regulated to be temperate and predictable, and all natural disasters
and pollution will be things of the past.
Luke 10:19-20 “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits
are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written
in heaven.”
Our goal will be to take back this earth for the Kingdom of God and
present it to Jesus Christ on His return. We will destroy all demonic
strongholds that impede our progress or try to deter us from completing
our mission. Nothing will be able to harm us. We will have safety and
security in all that we do on God’s behalf. He will give His angels
charge of us to protect us in all our ways.
We will cast out demons that hold men in bondage to sin and evil, and
they will be subject to us. We will operate with a spirit of power and
authority that exceeds anything that this world has ever seen. We are
the sons and daughters of almighty God Himself. Our names are written
in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and nothing will stop us from entering into
His awesome presence as He desires.
The everlasting Kingdom of God will be the solution to all of our
problems and the answer to all of our prayers. It will be heaven on
this earth for all those who are counted worthy to enter into it. Every
righteous man, woman and child who is loving and obedient will inherit
eternal life there. We will enjoy blessings in abundance and receive
generous rewards for all our faithfulness.
Anointing Power And
Authority
2Corinthians 1:20-22 “For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and
in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us
with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; Who hath also sealed
us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”
Ever since we made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives and confessed Him
before God and man, we have been changed as never before. He has given
us a full measure of His very own Holy Spirit. All the promises of God
belong to us now, and we are actually seated with Christ in heavenly
places at the right hand of God Himself. We have extraordinary power
and authority available to us.
If we sanctify ourselves of all of our carnality and selfish soul
ambitions, and consecrate our lives to serving the Lord, we will be
anointed just as Jesus was when He walked this earth. Nothing will in
any way be impossible to us. We will embrace our divine destinies and
manifest God’s presence in this world. We will demonstrate His deep,
abiding love, mercy and compassion for His people.
We will share the good news of the Kingdom of God and baptize countless
numbers in Jesus’ mighty name. We will heal the sick of all their
afflictions and cast out demons that hold men in bondage to their sin.
We will make eternal life available to all those whose names are written
in the Lamb’s Book of Life. No righteous man, woman or child will ever
be denied entry into the Kingdom of God.
Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;”
The very same Spirit that rested on Jesus Christ during His time with us
will be transferred to those who follow after Him. If we do our part
and maintain spiritual integrity, the Lord will anoint us just as He did
our Lord and Savior. We will operate in the supernatural realm and
accomplish mighty feats in His name. The Gospel will be preached with
power and conviction, and all those who are receptive will be saved.
We will set all of mankind free in the truth and the full number of
souls will be gathered in the end-time harvest. All of their bondage
and oppression will leave them. No one who is sincere, humble and
contrite will ever be left behind. We will usher them into the Kingdom
of God and prepare their hearts for Christ’s rule and reign. We will
teach all men to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters
in the Lord.
All world governments will be confronted with the truth. We will insist
that they establish godly principles of fairness and justice in all of
their affairs. Wars, violence and conflict will disappear off the face
of the earth. Poverty and lack will be no more, as we persuade men of
affluence to share all of their resources with others. Social injustice
will soon fade away and all mankind will be treated with dignity and
respect.
We will speak to all of creation and restore it to its original beauty
and balance as it was in the Garden. We will command harmony in the
natural world and all plants and animals will be compatible and subject
to man once again. We will reverse all the adverse effects of pollution
and cleanse the earth of all defilement. Even the climate will be
regulated to be temperate and predictable, so there are no more natural
disasters.
1John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it
hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
No one will have to instruct us in what we should do or say. We will
not labor in our own strength or act on our own authority. The Holy
Spirit of almighty God will teach us all that we need to know to be
totally effective in fulfilling our divine destinies. The Lord has a
perfect plan in place for the eternal redemption of mankind, and we are
His ambassadors on this earth to make certain that it is implemented.
Jesus Christ will lead us and guide us in completing His ministry where
He left off. We will prepare the hearts of all mankind to dwell in His
holy presence. We will establish peace, order and stability in all of
our affairs, so that God’s will is done on earth, as it is in heaven.
The Kingdom of God will be ushered in and advanced everywhere. This
entire world, as we know it, will be renewed and transformed.
Men will no longer be at odds with one another. There will be peace,
order and stability in our lives. We will dwell in safety and security,
joy and freedom, with genuine hope and confidence for our future. We
will share in all the resources that this vast universe has to offer us,
and never lack any good thing, either spiritual or temporal. The Lord
will be glorified in His people who are called by His holy name.
Revelation 1:5-6 “And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness,
[and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to
him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Jesus Christ will soon appear to judge all men – both the living and the
dead – to see who has been righteous and who has been wicked and
rebellious. He will tolerate no sin and evil in His presence. He will
cast Satan and all of his minions into the bottomless pit and all
wrongdoers into the unquenchable lake of fire. There will be no
defilement ever permitted to enter into His everlasting Kingdom.
The Lord will gather all of the righteous to Himself, as He has promised
us that He will. He will change these mortal bodies into new, glorious,
resurrection forms like His very own. He will vindicate us before both
men and angles and restore all that has been stolen from us. Christ
will take vengeance on all of our enemies and rule and reign with a rod
of iron to protect His people from all harm.
We will have peace and prosperity, health and longevity, safety and
security, joy and freedom in His awesome presence. There will no longer
be a separation between God and man ever again. We will dwell with Him
for all of eternity. All flesh will soon worship the Lord in Spirit and
in truth. We will celebrate all of His sabbaths and perpetual feast
days with genuine joy and gladness in our hearts.
Almighty God will boast of us to all creation as His very own sons and
daughters. We will share in Christ’s honor and glory and inherit His
everlasting Kingdom as our legacy for righteousness. He will appoint us
kings and priests of God and we will judge both men and angels. We will
have the heathen for our inheritance and rule and reign with Jesus
Christ over all the nations of the world.
Sons of God
John 1:12-13 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God.”
We are the sons and daughters of almighty God Himself through faith in
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He now counts us as His beloved and
He will withhold no good thing from our lives. He will imbue us with
His very own divine power and authority to take back this entire earth
for the everlasting Kingdom of God. Nothing will be impossible to us
in the critical days that lie ahead of us.
Miracles, signs and wonders will follow us wherever we go. We will
preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with zeal and enthusiasm and see
countless numbers baptized in His name. We will heal the sick of all
their afflictions. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the lame
will walk. We will cast out demons that hold others in bondage to sin
and evil and even raise the dead back to life.
All of mankind will know that we are called of God to usher in His
Kingdom on this earth. They will comply with our directives to
establish peace, order and stability in all of our human affairs. There
will be no more war, violence or conflict anywhere. Social injustice
will be a thing of the past and all people will be treated with
fairness, dignity and respect in the government of almighty God.
Philippians 2:15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of
God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
We will not be defiled by the things of this world, nor subject to its
unjust laws and ordinances. We will be godly role models at all times
instead, and teach others to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers
and sisters. Men will share all of their material resources with one
another, and poverty and lack will finally be eliminated. There will be
peace on the earth and all Christ’s enemies will be placed underneath
His feet.
Disease and death will have no hold over us. We will lay hands on the
sick and they will all recover. Men will no longer be oppressed or held
in bondage to sin and evil of any kind. We will make eternal life
available to all those who are receptive to it, and advance Christ’s
Kingdom on this earth even before He returns to us. No righteous man,
woman or child will be left behind as He comes to gather us to Himself.
Believers will shine with the light of Jesus Christ Himself and dispel
all darkness and deception that threaten to overtake us. We will
operate in genuine power and conviction and tear down all demonic
strongholds that would impede our progress or detain our efforts to
usher in the Kingdom of God. Satan will no longer be the god of this
world, as we rise up and fully operate in our kingly and priestly
anointing.
Romans 8:19-21 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth 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.”
All of creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and
daughters of almighty God. We will set it free to the glorious liberty
that we experience. All power and authority to take dominion over the
earth will be granted to us. We will speak to the plants and animals
and they will be in total harmony with one another and subject to man,
just as they once were in the Garden of Eden.
We will ultimately regulate the climate, so that it is always temperate
and predictable and conducive to supporting all life forms. There will
be no more natural disasters that cause death and destruction in their
wake. We will make certain that all types of pollution are reversed.
The entire earth will be cleansed of its defilement, so that heaven
itself can be brought here in the Kingdom of God.
There will be no more wars, violence or conflicts that interfere with
our relationships with one another. Social injustice and class
distinctions will be things of the past. We will bring peace, order and
stability to this whole planet, as we are destined to do. The Lord
will send legions of ministering angels to assist us in all of our
efforts to advance His Kingdom on the earth, just as it is in heaven.
1John 3:1-2 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 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.”
Those in the world may not recognize us at this point, but they will
soon bow to our authority that is divinely ordained to impact the fate
of all mankind. We will walk in miracles, signs and wonders to attest
to our faith and to demonstrate the love, mercy and compassion that the
Lord has for His people. We will improve circumstances wherever we go
and overcome all evil with good.
The good news of the Kingdom of God will be spread to every race, tongue
and nation. Men will have hope and confidence for their future.
Countless souls will be gathered in the end-time harvest. We will
preach the Gospel and baptize all those who are repentant in Jesus’ holy
name. They will receive the gift of eternal life and then become
eligible to enter into His everlasting Kingdom.
Our Lord and Savior will soon return to us, and judge all men and even
angels to determine who will inherit His Kingdom. He will banish all
wickedness and evil off the face of the earth, and gather the righteous
to Himself as He promised. We will share in His honor and glory and be
appointed kings and priests of God to rule and reign with Him over all
the nations of the world.
Divine Commission
Colossians 2:6-10 “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord,
[so] walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after
Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And
ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and
power:”
We were created for such a time as this. All believers are called of
God to fulfill divine destinies that were ordained for us from the very
foundation of the world. Unfortunately, not everyone will respond to
the Lord’s call on their life. Only a select few are sensitive enough
to the Lord’s voice to present their bodies as living sacrifices in
service to Him and His people.
Those who do consecrate and dedicate all of their efforts to God’s
eternal plan and purpose will be used mightily of Him in the critical
days to come. We will rescue all of mankind from darkness and deception
and take back the entire earth for the Kingdom of God. We will destroy
all demonic strongholds that hold men in bondage to sin and evil, and
thwart Satan’s schemes.
We will resume Christ’s ministry where He left off when He went to be
with His Father, and share our faith with genuine power and conviction.
The Gospel will be preached to all the nations of the world, as Jesus
intended, and the full number of souls that is required will be gathered
in the end-time harvest. Every man, woman and child will have an
opportunity to be saved.
Believers will serve as the Lord’s goodwill ambassadors for the Kingdom
of God. We will be righteous role models and uncompromisingly loving
and obedient. We will demonstrate the very love, mercy and compassion
of almighty God Himself for His people at all times. We will bring
heaven itself to this earth realm by establishing godly principles in
all our human affairs.
Mark 16:15-18 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
Miracles, signs and wonders will follow us wherever we go. We will
speak with new tongues and nothing will in any way harm us. We will
preach the Gospel with zeal and enthusiasm and see huge numbers of souls
converted to our faith. We will baptize men, women and children in
Jesus’ name and make certain that they receive the gift of eternal life.
Those who repent of their sins and sincerely believe in our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, will be saved by the merits of His precious
Blood. However, those who are ignorant and rebellious will be banished
from His holy presence for all of eternity. Only those whose names are
written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be gathered into the Kingdom of
God.
Believers will lay hands on the sick and infirm and they will all be
healed. The blind will see; the deaf will hear; and the lame will walk
through our efforts. We will cast out any demons that hold others in
bondage to sin and evil of any kind and set them free in the truth. We
will even raise the dead back to life again through the operation of the
Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the
world. Amen.”
Jesus Christ has given us a divine commission to fulfill before He
returns to us. All power and authority in heaven and earth was
conferred on Him and He has delegated that to His followers. We will
resume His ministry where He left off when He went to be with His
heavenly Father. We will walk just as He did and do the works that He
did on this earth, and even greater works.
We will confront all wickedness that we see and bind its operation in
our lives. All world governments will be challenged to line up with
godly principles of fairness and justice or be banished off the face of
the earth. Poverty and lack will bow to the name of Jesus Christ and be
eradicated once and for all. Social injustice and class distinctions
will not even be named among us.
There will be no more wars, violence, bloodshed or conflict in any of
our human affairs. Peace, order and stability will be established
everywhere, as the Lord desires. All men will share their valuable
resources with those who are less fortunate. God’s people will dwell in
love and unity with one another as brothers and sisters, and advance His
everlasting Kingdom on this earth.
Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
us, Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.
The people of almighty God will shine with His glorious light and be a
beacon of hope to all those who are still lost in sin, darkness and
deception. All of mankind will flock to us to learn our secrets for
happiness, health and prosperity. We will point them to the Lord, Jesus
Christ, and encourage them to repent, be saved and baptized to eternal
life through a sincere faith in Him.
We will share our faith with power and conviction, and see countless
numbers brought into the everlasting Kingdom of God. We will heal them
of all their afflictions. There will be no sick or infirm among us ever
again. We will cast out all demons that hold men in bondage of any
kind, and destroy all of the satanic strongholds that interfere with our
work or detain our progress.
All of creation will be restored to its original beauty and balance
through our efforts. We will command total harmony in the plant and
animal kingdoms. There will be no more predatory spirit, and all forms
of environmental pollution will be reversed. We will even speak to the
climate and regulate it, so that there are no more natural catastrophes
that cause death and destruction.
Nothing will be impossible to Christ’s followers in the critical days
that lie ahead of us before His return. We will prepare the entire
earth for heaven to be brought here, and usher in the Kingdom of God as
we are destined to do. The Lord will work in us and through us to
refresh and renew all things in this world to line up with His eternal
redemption plan and purpose for all mankind.
One Body In Him
1Corinthians 12:12-14 “For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also
[is] Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have
been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member,
but many.”
Christ still rules and reigns through those of us who are called by His
holy name. He is the Head and we are His Body on this earth. We are
His very own hands, feet and voice until He returns to receive His
everlasting Kingdom from us. We have divine destinies to fulfill in the
critical days that lie ahead. The future of all of mankind depends on
our faithfulness and devotion.
There is no distinction between males or females, Jews or Gentiles in
the Body of Christ. We are all one in Him. Each of us is important to
the Lord’s plan and purpose. We are to overlook the differences that
separate us from one another and walk in love, peace and unity so that
we can be anointed with divine power and authority. We must be fully
unified in all of our efforts.
The Lord wants a people who are called by His holy name to do everything
that He instructs them to do. The anointing will only rest on us if we
eliminate strife and division in our midst. We will accomplish a great
deal more by cooperating with one another, rather than trying to do
things all on our own. If we combine all our efforts, we will walk in
miracles, signs and wonders.
Colossians 1:18-19 “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is
the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he
might have the preeminence. For it pleased [the Father] that in him
should all fulness dwell;”
Christ is the Head of His Body on this earth, and the fullness of God
dwells in Him. He is the firstborn of many brethren, and we are all
members one of another. His Holy Spirit will be imparted to each and
every one of us, so that we can walk just as He did on this earth. We
will do the very works that Jesus did, and even greater works, since He
has gone to be with His Father.
We will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and give men hope and
confidence for their future. Every man, woman and child will have the
opportunity to be born again to eternal life through Jesus Christ. We
will lay hands on the sick, and they will all recover. We will cast out
demons that hold others in bondage to sin and evil and even raise the
dead back to life.
God’s way of doing things will prevail on this earth, just as it does in
heaven. There will be peace, order and stability established
everywhere. We will eliminate social injustice, so that all men are
treated with fairness, dignity and respect. Poverty and lack will soon
disappear, as the wealth of the wicked is redistributed to the righteous
for sharing with all those in need.
Ephesians 1:19-23 “And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to
us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which
he 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 hath 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.”
The Lord will manifest Himself through His people, who are called by His
name, in the days to come before Christ returns to us. He will anoint
us with divine power and authority to usher in His everlasting Kingdom.
Nothing will be impossible to us. We will share our faith and baptize
countless numbers in Jesus’ name. Every race, tongue and nation will be
touched with the endless love of God.
All of creation is waiting for us to be revealed so that we can set
matters straight in the natural world. Plants and animals will soon be
in total harmony and subject to man once again, as they were in the
Garden of Eden. The climate will be stabilized, so that there are no
more natural disasters that cause death and destruction. All pollution
will be reversed and the earth will be cleansed of its defilement.
We will heal those who are sick and afflicted in any way, and cast out
demons that hold them in bondage to sin and evil. There will be no more
disease and death, as we put all Christ’s enemies underneath His feet.
We will tear down all demonic strongholds that interfere with our
efforts or try to impede our progress. The Kingdom of God will be taken
by force and ushered into this earth realm in record time.
Colossians 3:12-15 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any
man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do]
ye. And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of
perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which
also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”
We must learn to walk in the Spirit instead of our flesh in the days to
come, if we wish to be totally victorious in all that we attempt to do
for the Lord. We will meet with many obstacles to our faith, yet we
will still overcome the world, our flesh and the devil. We are more
than conquerors through Christ Jesus, and He will lead and direct us, so
that we can complete His ministry.
It is vital that we permit the fruit of the Spirit to grow and develop
in us. That will transform us into fully mature, victorious
Christians. We must learn to be kind and merciful towards others, meek
and humble in all that we say and do. All of mankind will be looking to
us for guidance and direction, and we must be fitting role models for
righteousness, love and obedience at all times.
We will glorify almighty God in everything that we think, say and do in
the days ahead. He will boast of us to all creation as His very own
sons and daughters. We will become holy and perfect, and teach all of
mankind to dwell in love, peace and unity with one another. They will
learn to worship our God in Spirit and in truth, and give Him all the
thanks and praise that He deserves.
The Hour of Power And
Glory
Isaiah 60:1-2 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the
people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen
upon thee.”
The power and glory of almighty God will rest on His people in the days
to come before Christ returns to us. He will manifest Himself to the
entire world through His very own sons and daughters. We will
demonstrate His love, mercy and compassion for the entire human race.
We will rescue all those who are still lost in sin, darkness and
deception and make eternal life available to everyone who is receptive.
We will walk in miracles, signs and wonders to prove that our God is
still in control of all things. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be
preached to every race, tongue and nation as a testament to our faith.
We will heal the sick, cast out demons and even raise the dead back to
life once again. All of mankind will know, for a fact, that we are
called of God and anointed to do His will on the earth, as it is in
heaven.
The weapons of our warfare will be our very own words that line up with
the powerful Word of almighty God. We will decree and declare what will
be. We will exercise our God-given dominion and rule and reign in this
world. We will bind Satan and all his minions and loose blessings to
all of mankind. We will speak life and light to all our circumstances
and see the Kingdom of God advanced everywhere we go.
The people of God will bring peace, order and stability to the entire
world, as we are destined to do. There will be no more wars and
violence, nor social injustice of any kind. Poverty and lack will
disappear. All men will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
They will ultimately learn to live together in love and unity as
brothers and sisters, or be banished from the Lord’s awesome presence
for all of eternity.
Jeremiah 1:10 “See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over
the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to
throw down, to build, and to plant.”
God’s people have been chosen to usher in His everlasting Kingdom in the
critical days to come before Christ returns. We will be anointed with
divine power and authority to implement His will on this earth, as it is
in heaven. We will enforce His way of doing things as the norm in all
of our human affairs. We will abolish anything that does not line up
with His impeccable standards.
We will confront all world governments to make certain that they adhere
to godly Kingdom principles of fairness and justice for all. Those
countries and their leaders who will not comply will soon be eradicated
off the face of the earth. All men will have to learn to dwell in peace
with one another, and share all their resources. The Lord will tolerate
no strife and division in any of us.
Social injustice will not ever be permitted to enter in to the Kingdom
of almighty God. All of mankind will be treated with fairness, dignity
and respect. There will be no class consciousness, nor prejudice of any
kind against any of God’s people. Poverty and lack will soon disappear
off the face of the earth. Men will share equally in all the vast
resources that this universe has to offer us.
Isaiah 13:3-4 “I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called
my mighty ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a
tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD
of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.”
We have a sacred charge that has been given to us as the sons and
daughters of almighty God. We will prepare the entire earth for heaven
to be ushered in here. It may not all be pleasant or easy for us, but
we are up to the challenge. We will cleanse the world of all its
violence and conflict, greed and oppression. All evil will be overcome
with good, as it manifests through the people of God.
Very soon now, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will return with all
of His angels and saints to take the Kingdom of God by force. He will
destroy all evil in the wrath of His coming. He will tolerate nothing
that defiles or contaminates God or man to ever enter into His Kingdom.
He will banish Satan and his minions to the abyss and cast wrongdoers
into the unquenchable lake of fire.
The Kingdom of God will be paradise on this earth for all those who are
righteous, loving and obedient. It will be the answer to all of our
prayers and the solution to all of our problems. However, those who are
lawless and rebel against almighty God will be eliminated forever more.
Jesus Christ will rule and reign with a rod of iron to protect us
against anything that may harm us in any way.
We will enjoy peace and prosperity, health and longevity, safety and
security for all of eternity. The Lord will take vengeance on all of
our enemies and complete our redemption in spirit, soul and body. He
will share His very own honor and glory with us. We will judge both men
and angels, and be appointed kings and priests of God to rule and reign
with Him over all the nations of the world.
Chapter 7 - The Kingdom Comes With Power
Zephaniah 2:2-3 “Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as
the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the
day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of
the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek
meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.”
It is not too late; we can still seek the Lord and possibly divert His
anger. He has given mankind every opportunity to repent of sin and get
it right. We have no excuse; redemption is available to each and every
one of us. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached throughout the
world to every race, tongue and nation. Men, women and children have
had a chance to hear the truth and be baptized in Jesus’ name.
The Lord has been infinitely patient with us despite our stubbornness
and rebellion. He has sent us stern warnings and supernatural signs
that all point to the end of life in this world, as we know it. He will
be compelled to act on His Word and settle all scores in the very near
future. If we continue to ignore His advances, our fate will be dark
and dismal. There are no second chances that will be given to anyone.
If we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we will be
redeemed from our sins and escape the Lord’s wrath that is soon to come
on the entire earth. There is no other way to be spared and receive
eternal life with all of its many benefits. We must appropriate the
righteousness that was bought and paid for with Christ’s very own Blood,
or we will be condemned to everlasting punishment for our sinfulness.
Revelation 14:6-7 “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the
earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying
with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the
sea, and the fountains of waters.”
We are rapidly approaching the point of no return. We have had ample
warning; our Creator is not pleased with what is happening in this
world. Things have gotten out of hand. Moral depravity is on the rise
and men steadfastly refuse to seek God and repent of their sins. The
Gospel of Jesus Christ is still being rejected by many, and the Lord has
no other recourse but to intervene.
Things will not continue on this earth as they have been. Very soon
now, almighty God will muster His troops, and sovereignly move to set
matters straight once and for all. The Kingdom of God will come with
power and glory unmatched in all of creation. The Lord will show
Himself strong on behalf of His people and rescue them from all the
wickedness and evil that threaten them.
There is an impending judgment that is planned for all of mankind.
Jesus Christ will soon return to the earth and destroy all iniquity in
the wrath of His coming. He will judge all men, and even angels, to
determine who will receive eternal blessings and rewards and who will be
punished. He will banish Satan to the abyss and cast the rebellious
into the unquenchable lake of fire.
Nothing that is evil will ever enter into the Kingdom of God to disturb
its tranquility. Christ will protect and defend His people against all
wickedness that threatens to defile them. Nothing will ever harm us or
cause us pain. Jesus will rule and reign with a rod of iron and enforce
godly principles in all of our affairs. There will finally be peace on
this earth and divine justice will prevail.
Exodus 15:6-7 “Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the
greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up
against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as
stubble”
The wicked will no longer rule the earth. Jesus Christ will return to
level all playing fields. He will judge all men to determine who will
enter into His Kingdom and who will be banished to the unquenchable lake
of fire. He will banish Satan and his minions to the abyss, and rule
and reign as a righteous King with a rod of iron to make certain that we
are always safe and secure.
The Lord will no longer tolerate evil to run rampant on this planet and
destroy the innocent. He will cleanse it of all its defilement and
usher in His everlasting Kingdom to the earth, as He has promised us.
He will gather all of the righteous to Himself for all of eternity.
There will be no more wicked men or angels to contaminate us and
interfere with our blessings.
Almighty God will take vengeance on all of our enemies and restore all
that has been taken from us. He will heal all of our pain and
suffering, and even blot it from our memories. He will change these
mortal bodies into new, glorious, resurrection forms that are impervious
to disease and death. We will dwell in His presence and He will meet
all of our needs in abundance.
Haggai 2:7-9 “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all
nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the
LORD of hosts. The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the
LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of
the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give
peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”
The kingdoms of this world will be shaken and realigned to adhere to
godly principles of peace, order and stability or disappear off the face
of the earth. They will be redefined and restructured, so that all men
are treated with fairness, dignity and respect. If their people are
righteous, they will eventually be absorbed into the political and
social infrastructure of the everlasting Kingdom of almighty God.
Christ will destroy all evil in the wrath of His coming. He will take
vengeance on all the enemies of His people and bind up all of our
wounds. We will no longer remember the pain and suffering that we
experienced at the hands of the wicked. He will mercifully blot it from
our memories and replace it with health, happiness and prosperity. We
will thrive in His awesome presence forever.
The Kingdom of God will revolutionize the entire earth and change it
into a veritable paradise for both God and man to enjoy forever more.
The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance from all the vast
resources that this universe has to offer us. There will be no death
and destruction, no poverty and lack, no more social injustice, nor
strife and division of any kind to mar its peace and tranquility.
We will all dwell together as brothers and sisters in love and unity and
the Lord will bless us abundantly. The glory of this latter house of
God will far exceed anything that the world has ever seen. The Kingdom
of God will be heaven on this earth for all of the righteous who enter
into it. We will commune with both men and angels and worship our God
in Spirit and in truth, as He so richly deserves.
Signs And Wonders To
Prepare Us
Acts 2:17-21 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I
will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I
will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of
the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on
the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
There have been many notable signs and wonders in all of creation that
point to the return of Jesus Christ to this earth. We are being given
ample notice of the Day of the Lord that is quickly approaching. It can
happen any time now and we must be prepared. All those who repent and
seek almighty God will be saved from His anger and wrath, but the wicked
will hide for fear of what is to come upon them.
The people of God will shine with His glorious light in these last days
before Christ returns to us. The Holy Spirit of almighty God Himself
will descend on us and enable us to work miracles, signs and wonders in
His name. We will prophesy of things to come and warn all of mankind of
the impending judgment. The Lord will have us preach the Gospel with
power and conviction so that no one perishes.
Men, women and even children will represent Jesus Christ to all of
mankind. We will make the truth available to every race, tongue and
nation in this world. We will gather in the full end-time harvest of
souls that is necessary before heaven can be brought to the earth. We
will urge others to repent and accept Christ as Lord and Savior, so that
they can receive the gift of eternal life with all its many blessings.
Many will eventually seek the Lord and be baptized in His holy name. We
will heal them of all their afflictions and cast out demons that hold
them in bondage to sin and evil of any kind. We will even raise the
dead back to life once again, as a dramatic witness to the awesome power
of our God. All of mankind will take notice and have an ample
opportunity to choose where they will spend all of eternity.
Luke 21:7-12 “And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these
things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye
not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions,
be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end
[is] not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in
divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heaven.”
The Lord is giving us plenty of time to repent and be saved from the
wrath that is to come on all of the wicked and rebellious. There are
signs and wonders taking place all over the earth today that point to
the return of Jesus Christ and the impending judgment. Many false
teachers try to lead men astray. They are enemy agents, who are bound
on destroying God’s people.
There are wars and rumors of wars that unsettle us and constantly keep
us at odds with one another. There is no peace on this earth. Poverty
and lack loom over all men. Earthquakes, tidal waves and other natural
disasters bring death and destruction in their wake. Famines and
pestilence are running rampant all over the face of the earth and
threaten the future of all mankind.
The hearts of most men have grown cold and evil abounds more than good
in this world. The people of almighty God are being scorned and
derided, taunted and ridiculed, even persecuted and imprisoned for their
faith. However, none of this will be permanent. The Lord has a plan in
place for the redemption of His people, and the deliverance from all
that threatens them.
Very soon now, He will sovereignly move to rectify all injustice and
annihilate His enemies. He will send Jesus Christ back to this earth to
level all playing fields. He will return as the King of kings and Lord
of lords. All of His angels and saints will accompany Him to restore
peace, order and stability to this planet. The Kingdom of God will be
ushered in with power and glory.
Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall
the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and
then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son
of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he
shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.”
The world, as we know it, is lost in darkness and deception. Many are
wicked and depraved, and they devour one another. Believers have
suffered much persecution in sharing the Gospel and they are often
discouraged. However, we cannot allow fear, doubt and unbelief to
separate us from our blessings. There is a just retribution that we can
expect, if we do not faint and give up in these critical days ahead.
The Lord will not permit His people to go through tests, trials and
tribulation indefinitely. He is loving, merciful and compassionate
towards us. He knows that we have struggled with our faith and done
everything that we can to share the truth with others. He will soon
deliver us from everything that threatens to defile or harm us, and
gather us to Himself for all of eternity in the everlasting Kingdom of
God.
Every eye will see what is coming. Make no mistake about it; the Lord
will get our attention before He moves. The sun and the moon will be
darkened and there will be signs in the heavens and on the earth. There
will be a world-wide earthquake, as Christ returns and sets His foot on
the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem. Men’s hearts will fail them for
fear for what is coming on all the inhabitants of this earth.
Jesus Christ is not returning as the meek and mild Lamb of God this
time. He is the Lion of Judah, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who
will bring justice to the world in the government of almighty God. He
will settle all scores and take vengeance on all of His enemies. He
will destroy all wickedness and evil in the wrath of His coming.
Nothing that contaminates our God or His people will remain anywhere.
The Day Of The Lord
Joel 2:1-3 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of
the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of
gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread
upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been
ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years
of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a
flame burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and
behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.”
The Lord never acts before He announces His intentions to His people.
We have had more than adequate notice about what is to take place on the
earth in these last days. The world, as we know it now, will soon pass
away. Our God is a consuming fire, and He will cleanse and purge this
planet of all defilement, before He ushers in the everlasting Kingdom of
God.
He will muster a mighty army of both angels and saints to do His
bidding. They will successfully implement His perfect will and destroy
all demonic strongholds. They will rid the world of evil and gather all
of the righteous from the four winds. There will soon be peace, order
and stability established everywhere. Heaven itself will come to this
earth.
The Kingdom of God will be a literal paradise for both God and man to
enjoy. We are returning to our roots in the Garden of Eden. All of
creation will be subject to us again. Plants and animals will be in
total harmony and the climate will be temperate and predictable. There
will be no ill effects from pollution, no natural disasters that cause
death and destruction.
2Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up.”
The Day of the Lord will come unexpectedly. Our God will sovereignly
move and impact the entire planet with His power and glory. Nothing
will remain the same. The earth, as we know it, will be forever
changed. He will destroy all evil in His wrath and bring judgment on
all of His creatures. No one will escape His scrutiny or be able to
persuade Him to lower any of His standards.
There will be no second chances given to either men or angels.
Wrongdoers will soon perish, but the righteous will be gathered to the
Lord for all of eternity. Almighty God will consume all wickedness and
evil with the fire of His jealousy. He will right all wrongs and
settle all scores. The entire earth will be purged and cleansed of
anything that is defiling or detrimental to His people.
Wars, violence and conflict will be eradicated. There will be no more
poverty and lack, no disease and death, no sin and darkness anywhere.
Everything will be made new again, and the Kingdom of God will be
ushered in with a flourish. The future of all mankind will be
impacted. Those who have been faithful will receive eternal blessings,
but the rebellious will be banished to the lake of fire.
Luke 21:25-28 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;
the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and
for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your
redemption draweth nigh.”
The coming of the Lord will be unmistakable. All of creation will groan
and travail as the Kingdom of God is birthed on this earth. The entire
cosmos will be shaken, and many of the people will be in fear and
perplexity for what is coming on them. Christ will descend from the
clouds and all eyes will see Him. He will return with all of His angels
and saints to set matters straight.
He will not be a meek and mild Lamb of God this time. He has vengeance
in His heart to destroy all of His enemies. There will be no more
wicked and rebellious men or angels that will injure His people. He
will make certain that they are destroyed for all of eternity. He will
banish Satan and all of his minions to the abyss and cast all wrongdoers
into the unquenchable lake of fire.
The Lord will soon complete our redemption in body, soul and spirit. He
will change these mortal bodies that are subject to disease and death
into glorious resurrection forms. We will live forever in His awesome
presence to see our offspring for all generations to come. He will make
certain that we have all our needs met in abundance. We will dwell in a
literal paradise on this earth.
Christ will rule and reign as a righteous King with a rod of iron to
thwart all wickedness and evil. Nothing that defiles either God or man
will ever enter into His Kingdom. He will make sure that only righteous
and godly principles are enforced in the government of almighty God on
this earth. We will have safety and security, peace and prosperity, joy
and freedom for all of eternity.
The Return Of Christ
Hebrews 9:27-28 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without
sin unto salvation.”
Jesus Christ originally came to this earth and laid down all of His
deity, so that He could become one of us and redeem us from the curse of
the law that specified death for our sins. He was human in every way,
yet sinless and perfect in all that He thought, said and did. He became
a living sacrifice for the sin debt of all of mankind, so that we could
escape the punishment that we truly deserved.
Our Lord and Savior redeemed each and every one of us with His suffering
and death on the cross. He died and was buried, then rose again, so
that we could be made righteous and be adopted as the very sons and
daughters of almighty God Himself. We have become joint-heirs with
Jesus to all the promises of God, and we are seated with Him in heavenly
places at the right hand of the Father.
Christ will soon appear a second time without sin of any kind. He will
reign victorious over all wickedness and evil and complete our
redemption in spirit, soul and body. He will set up His everlasting
Kingdom on this earth and establish the government of almighty God and
His justice system. There will be no more war, violence and conflict,
no poverty and lack, anywhere in this entire world.
The Kingdom of God will be idyllic – the perfect habitat for both God
and mankind. We will no longer be separated from our Creator. He will
actually come and take up residence with His people for all time. He
will meet all of our needs in abundance, even before we ask Him. He
will boast of us as His very own sons and daughters and fellowship
intimately with us, as He has always desired to do.
2Thessalonians 1:7-9 “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of his power;”
Our Lord will soon return to us as a just Judge and as a righteous
King. He will separate the wheat from the chaff and destroy all the
ungodly and their ungodliness in the wrath of His coming. Every knee
will bow and every tongue proclaim, that “Jesus Christ is Lord over all
of creation.” He will consummate the redemption of His people in
spirit, soul and body.
He will judge all men and even angels to determine who will spend all of
eternity with Him. No evil will ever enter into His holy presence. He
will banish Satan and all his cohorts to the bottomless pit and cast all
evildoers into the lake of fire. Nothing will defile or harm His people
ever again. The Kingdom of God is reserved for Jesus Christ and all who
are faithful.
Christ will make certain that we are always healthy and happy. He will
change our mortal bodies into glorious, resurrection forms that resemble
His very own. Disease and death will no longer rule over us. We will
live forever in a virtual paradise with the Lord Himself. He will
supply all our needs in abundance and grant us generous rewards for our
service to Him.
1Corinthians 15:22 “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then [cometh] the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.”
The Lord will return to this earth and all the dead will be raised back
to life once again. He will judge all men, and even angels, to
determine who will spend all of eternity with Him in His everlasting
Kingdom. He will banish the wicked and rebellious from His holy
presence and gather all of the righteous to Himself, as He has promised
us that He would. If we have been loving and obedient we will receive
eternal life.
Our God will turn these mortal bodies into new, glorious resurrection
forms that are impervious to disease, decay and death. We will all be
changed in the twinkling of an eye, and live forever in good health and
vitality, to see our offspring for all generations to come. There will
be no more pain and suffering to endure. Our heavenly Father will
mercifully blot that from our memories and heal all of our wounds.
Jesus Christ will banish Satan to the bottomless pit and destroy all
evildoers in the lake of fire. They will burn like chaff and be
remembered no more. Nothing that is defiling to either God or man will
ever enter into the Kingdom of God. It will be paradise on the earth
for all those who are worthy to enter into it. The Lord will share all
the vast resources of the universe with us and supply all of our needs
in abundance.
The people of God will have peace and prosperity, safety and security,
health and longevity, joy and freedom. The Lord will actually come and
take up residence with us and fellowship intimately with His children.
We will dwell with both men and angels in love, peace and unity forever
more. All creatures will worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth and
give Him all the thanks, praise and honor that He deserves.
Matthew 16:27-28 “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his
Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to
his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his
kingdom.”
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will soon return to this earth in a
flourish of power and glory that astounds all of creation. He will
destroy all those who have injured His people or have been wicked and
rebellious in any way. He will tolerate no compromise in any of His
moral principles. All men and angels will be judged to determine their
righteousness.
The Lord will separate the bad from the good and usher in His
everlasting Kingdom. Only righteousness and justice will prevail in His
holy presence. He will mete out eternal rewards and punishment
according to our works. Those who have been loving and obedient will
fare well. However, those who have been evil and wicked will perish in
their wrongdoing.
In the twinkling of an eye, our Lord and Savior will change these mortal
bodies into new, resurrection forms that never perish from decay and
disease. We will live forever in health and vitality to see our
children and our children’s children for all generations to come. The
righteous will dwell in peaceful habitations and have all needs met in
abundance.
Christ will share His very own honor and glory with those of us who have
faithfully served Him and His people. He will give us the heathen and
the uttermost parts of the earth for our inheritance. We will be
appointed kings and priests of God, and judge both men and angels. We
will even rule and reign with Him over all the nations of the world for
all of eternity.
Everlasting Judgment
Isaiah 13:9-11 “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with
wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy
the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the
constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be
darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine. And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,
and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”
All signs point to the return of Christ and the destruction of all that
is ungodly in our midst. The Day of the Lord will come at any time now
and all sinners will be punished as the Lord has promised us. No one
who is proud and arrogant, stubborn and rebellious, hateful and impudent
will survive His fierce wrath. He will judge all creatures to determine
their righteousness.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is holy and
perfect and He cannot tolerate wickedness and evil in His presence. He
has vengeance in His heart to destroy all of His enemies, and He will
settle all scores to vindicate His people. Soon there will be no more
defilement anywhere on the face of this earth to contaminate either God
or mankind.
The Lord will punish the world and all those in it, who are committed to
sin and rebellion. He will banish them from our midst forever more.
Those who are haughty and terrible will be abased, but the meek and
humble will inherit the earth. There will be no more greed and power
struggles, no wars and conflict, nor violence and bloodshed or social
injustice anywhere.
Christ will obliterate all that digresses from His perfect, impeccable
standards for His Kingdom. He will establish godly principles as the
norm for all our affairs. Those who are righteous, loving and obedient
will spend all of eternity in His awesome presence and thrive. However,
those who are committed to sin and evil will be cast out of the Kingdom
of God forever.
Romans 14:10-12 “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou
set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment
seat of Christ. For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every
knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then
every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
The sons and daughters of almighty God will one day judge both men and
angels, but we have not yet earned that right. Judgment of all creation
is reserved for the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He is all holy and
perfect and the only one who is qualified to fairly evaluate any of us.
He will soon return to judge both the living and the dead. He will
assess all men and even angels. He will judge His church and the
nations.
Jesus Christ alone will determine who has met God’s absolute, moral
standards and who has missed the mark. We will give a full account to
Him and submit ourselves to His lordship. We will all be judged by our
works in the flesh to see if we have been righteous or rebellious. Only
those who have made Jesus Christ their personal Lord and Savior and
walked in total love and obedience will be saved to eternal life.
If we have been stubborn and rebellious, we can count on total
condemnation and everlasting punishment for our sins. The Lord is not
obligated to provide for and protect those who contend with Him and
violate His commandments. No one who has done evil and failed to repent
will ever enter into the Kingdom of God and His saints. There is no
other way to receive forgiveness except through the cross of Jesus
Christ.
Revelation 12:10 “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of
his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
them before our God day and night.”
Christ defeated all powers and principalities at Calvary when He
successfully laid down His life for the sins of all mankind. He made an
open show of Satan and all his minions with His death and resurrection.
He took back all power in heaven and earth and gave it back to men. All
that remains is for the devil to be permanently banished from the
Kingdom of almighty God.
No evil will ever enter into Christ’s holy presence when He returns to
set up His Kingdom on this earth. He will banish it from our midst, so
that it cannot adversely affect us. There will be nothing that spoils
the peace and tranquility that He has planned for His people. The
Kingdom of God will literally be heaven on this earth for all those who
are deemed worthy to enter into it.
The Lord will cast Satan and all his demons into the bottomless pit, so
that they can no longer torment His people or hold them in bondage to
sin and evil of any kind. They have falsely accused the children of God
and tempted them day and night. The devil will no longer oppress us in
any way. Jesus Christ will not permit any satanic contamination to come
anywhere near us.
We will have safety and security in Christ’s Kingdom. Nothing will harm
or defile us ever again. Jesus will rule and reign with a rod of iron
and protect us from all wickedness and evil. He will be a generous
benefactor to His people. We will have unlimited peace and prosperity,
health and longevity, joy and freedom in His awesome presence and thrive
for all of eternity.
The Kingdom Comes
With Power
Mark 9:1 “And he 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.”
We are a chosen generation. We were created for such a time as this.
The Lord called us from the very foundation of the world to be
instrumental in ushering in the everlasting Kingdom of God. We are
kings and priests of almighty God in training for reigning. Many of us
will not even taste death, but we will be changed in the twinkling of an
eye when Jesus Christ returns to us.
Christ is coming back for a spotless Bride who has made herself ready
for Him. If we are His faithful followers, He expects us to sanctify
ourselves and present our bodies as living sacrifices for His service.
We have divine destinies to fulfill that will impact all of eternity.
We must rescue all of mankind from the sin and evil that threaten to
destroy them and steal their blessings.
We will confront all wickedness we see and overcome it with good. We
will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and baptize countless numbers of
souls in His name. We will challenge all men, women and even children
to establish godly principles in their dealings with one another. We
will bring peace, order and stability to all our affairs and take back
the entire earth for our Lord.
Much of what we do will be a stretch for us, but it is not by our own
human efforts that this battle will be won. Christ will imbue us with
His divine power and authority. His Holy Spirit will work in us and
through us to accomplish mighty feats. He will equip us to do all that
He asks of us and send legions of ministering angels to assist us in
bringing heaven to this earth realm.
Matthew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by
force.”
There is war going on in the heavenlies right now. The Kingdom of God
is being opposed by Satan and all of his minions. The devil does not
want heaven to be ushered into the earth realm, because he will then be
banished for all of eternity. He knows that his time is short and he is
doing everything that he can to deter and detain God’s people from
taking back their dominion in this world.
Satan is attempting to bring trials and tribulation on us, as we serve
the Lord and His people. He oppresses our minds and emotions and steals
our peace. He creates strife and division among us, so that our
strength is neutralized. He wants men to doubt the promises of God and
turn their backs on Him. He uses every opportunity he can to weaken our
resolve and distract us in our efforts.
The enemy of our souls will not be successful for the long term. We are
the sons and daughters of almighty God Himself with divine destinies
that must be fulfilled. We will overcome the world, our flesh and the
devil in the days to come before Christ returns. We will take the
Kingdom of God by force, and deliver it to our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, for His everlasting rule and reign.
Revelation 19:11-16 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of
fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written,
that no man knew, but he himself. And he [was] clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies
[which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that
with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod
of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God. And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name
written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Christ is not coming back as a babe in the manger this time, nor will He
be the meek and mild Lamb of God. He is the “Faithful and True,” the
King of kings and Lord of lords who will return in a fury with all of
His angels and saints. He has vengeance in His heart to eradicate all
of His enemies and set matters straight in this world. He will settle
all scores and vindicate His people.
The Lord will destroy all the ungodly in the wrath of His coming. He
has a zero tolerance for sin and evil. He knows full well the damage
that occurs when wickedness remains unchecked, and He will stop it in
its tracks. Nothing that is defiling will ever enter into the Kingdom
of God to contaminate God or man. Jesus will rule with a rod of iron
and enforce principles of fairness and justice.
The Kingdom of God will be a safe haven for Christ’s people. The Lord
will cast Satan and all his minions into the abyss so they can no longer
oppress us. All men will learn to dwell in love, peace and unity as
brothers and sisters, or be banished to the unquenchable lake of fire
for all eternity. There will be no more strife and division among us,
no wars and violence, nor poverty and lack.
Revelation 11:17-18 “Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee
thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and
that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy the earth.”
Christ in us is mighty and powerful for good. We will make the way for
heaven itself to be brought to this earth. Through our efforts on His
behalf, we will prepare the hearts of all mankind to receive their
King. We will make certain that all those whose names are written in
the Lamb’s Book of Life are saved. We will heal the sick of all their
afflictions and cast out demons. We will even raise the dead back to
life again.
Nothing will be impossible to us. All world governments will heed our
advice and establish godly principles for governing their affairs. We
will eradicate poverty and lack and persuade men to share all the vast
resources of the universe with one another. There will be no more wars,
violence or social injustice anywhere. We will ensure that all men are
treated with the fairness, dignity and respect that they deserve.
We will speak to all of creation and restore it to its original beauty
and balance. All plants and animals will be in total harmony and
subject to man once again. The climate will be regulated to be
temperate and predictable, and there will be no more natural disasters
that cause death and destruction. We will cleanse the planet of all its
defilement and reverse the adverse effects of all forms of pollution
that currently exist.
The Kingdom of God will be ushered into this earth realm with power and
glory unmatched in all of the universe. Our Lord and Savior will return
as the King of kings. Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
that “Jesus Christ is Lord.” He will judge all men and angels to rid
the world of its wickedness and evil. He will cast wrongdoers into the
unquenchable lake of fire and banish Satan to the bottomless pit.
An Everlasting
Kingdom
Daniel 7:13-14 “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the
Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of
days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him
dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and
languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be
destroyed.”
Jesus Christ is the rightful heir to the entire earth and the fair and
just ruler of everyone in it. He has accomplished great things for all
of mankind, and the Kingdom of God will be His eternal inheritance. He
will soon return to this earth to cleanse it of all ungodliness once and
for all. Every race, tongue and nation will proclaim His glory and
worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
The Lord will provide for all the needs of His people. He will bind up
our wounds and blot out all pain and suffering from our memories. Jesus
Christ will change these mortal bodies into brand new, glorious,
resurrection forms like His very own. We will have peace and
prosperity, safety and security, health and longevity, joy and freedom
in His awesome presence for all time.
The Kingdom of God will literally be heaven on the earth forever more.
We will never be separated from our God ever again. We will fellowship
intimately with Him and He will make certain that we are always healthy,
happy and content. Christ will share His very own honor and glory with
His people. We will have the heathen in the uttermost parts of the
earth for our inheritance.
The entire human race will look up to us, and give us all the respect
that they would give to Christ Himself. We will teach them how to dwell
in love, peace and unity and share all the vast resources of the
universe with one another. There will be no more strife and division
among us, no poverty and lack of any kind. The Kingdom will be an
idyllic environment for both God and man.
Psalm 145:11-13 “They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk
of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the
glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting
kingdom, and thy dominion [endureth] throughout all generations.”
Very soon now, the entire world will be astounded as heaven is ushered
in to the earth realm. We will not believe how beautiful and expansive
the Kingdom of God really is until we see it for ourselves. The name of
the Lord will be magnified everywhere, and we will dwell with both
angels and men in the very presence of our God. It will be a literal
paradise for all those who enter in to it.
All of creation will be tranquil and at peace with both God and man.
Plants and animals will live in harmony and be subject to us, just as
they were in the Garden of Eden. The climate will be regulated to be
temperate and predictable. There will be no more natural disasters that
cause death and destruction. The ill effects of pollution will all be
reversed and the earth will be cleansed.
There will finally be total peace and harmony among us. No wars,
violence or conflict of any kind will be tolerated ever again. We will
dwell in love and unity as brothers and sisters or be forever banished
to the eternal lake of fire. Christ will rule and reign with a rod of
iron to make certain that His people are always safe and secure. He
will be a righteous King and a generous benefactor.
His Kingdom will have no end. It will last forever and be our just
inheritance. The Lord will execute vengeance on all of our enemies and
restore all that was taken from us. We will no longer be scorned or
derided for our faith. He will share honor and glory with those who
have been faithful to serve Him. We will be appointed kings and priests
to rule and reign with Him forever.
1Corinthians 15:24 “Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered
up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all
rule and all authority and power.”
Jesus Christ will defeat all powers and principalities once and for
all. He will banish Satan to the abyss so that He can no longer oppress
His people. All wrongdoers will be cast into the unquenchable lake of
fire, so they can no longer do damage to the earth or anyone in it. The
kingdoms of this world will be absorbed into the social and political
infrastructure of the Kingdom of God.
Once all of His enemies are put underneath His feet, Christ will present
His perfect Kingdom to His heavenly Father. The Lord will actually then
come and take up residence with His people, as He always desired to do.
He will dwell on His holy mountain outside the New Jerusalem. We will
celebrate all of His sabbaths and perpetual feast days with joy and
gladness in our hearts.
The Kingdom of God will be truly amazing. God will never be separated
from us ever again. The Lord will meet all of our needs in abundance,
even before we ask Him. He will lavish us with blessings and protect us
from all harm. Our God will take an intimate interest in all the
details of our personal lives, and our offspring will love and worship
Him for all generations to come.
Revelation 21:22-24 “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of
the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did
lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof. And the nations of them
which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the
earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
We will not have to make any effort to go to a church or temple to pay
our respects to almighty God. The Kingdom of God will be filled with
His glorious presence for all of eternity. We will interact with our
Creator and His Son, Jesus Christ, on a regular basis. We will teach
all of mankind, and even angels, how to worship our God in Spirit and in
truth as He desires.
There will be no more sun and moon to shed their light, no night nor day
in God’s holy presence. His glory will be our eternal light. We will
bask in His abundant blessings and revel in all of His attentions. He
will provide all that we require – both temporal and spiritual. All of
creation will be beautiful and bountiful once again, as it originally
was in the Garden of Eden.
The entire human race will travel up to the New Jerusalem to celebrate
all the Lord’s annual feast days and sabbaths. Every race, tongue and
nation will be represented. It will be an awesome celebration to our
God. The kings of the earth will shower the Lord with honor and glory.
They will pay Him homage and give Him all the thanks and praise that He
so richly deserves.
The Throne Of His
Glory
Matthew 25:31-34 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all
the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from
the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:”
Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords who will inherit the
entire universe for all of His efforts on behalf of almighty God. He is
unmatched in all of creation, and everything that has breath will pay
Him the homage and respect that He so deserves. Our Lord and Savior
will soon return to this earth to receive His just reward in the
everlasting Kingdom of God.
He will judge all of mankind, and even angels. Neither the living, nor
the dead, will escape His scrutiny. He will assess His church and judge
all the nations of the world to determine their righteousness. Jesus
will separate the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff. Only
He can decide who is worthy of eternal blessings and who deserves never
ending punishment.
Those believers in Jesus Christ, who have been faithful to obey the Lord
and walk in love, will be gathered into the Kingdom of God with all of
its many blessings. However, those who have been wicked and rebellious
will be forever banished to the unquenchable lake of fire. The Lord
will tolerate no sin or evil to enter into His Kingdom to defile either
God or man.
Psalm 24:7-10 “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who [is] this
King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting
doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts, he [is] the King of glory.”
The Son of God is our Lord and Savior, a hero to His people. Not only
did He come to this earth and save us from all of our sins, but He also
came so that we would have life in abundance to the overflow. He
defeated all powers and principalities on our behalf, so that we could
be made free forever more. Jesus gave His own life, so that ours could
be redeemed in every area.
He will rule and reign forever as our righteous King and generous
provider and protector. He will receive all the praise, honor and glory
that He deserves. We will flock to the throne of His glory and pay our
respects. Soon every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim, that
“Jesus Christ is Lord over all of creation.” Both men and angels will
worship Him for all time.
We will all come to know our Lord in a more intimate way, despite the
fact that He is almighty God. There will be no more separation between
God and man ever again. Those of us who have followed Him faithfully
will rule and reign with Him over all of the nations of the world. We
will be appointed kings and priests to help our Lord and Savior enforce
Kingdom principles.
All of mankind will learn to dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers
and sisters. There will finally be tranquility in all of our lives. No
strife and division, nor war and conflict will ever be tolerated. There
will be no class distinctions or social injustice anywhere. All men,
women and children will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect in
the everlasting Kingdom of God.
Revelation 5:12-13 “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and
honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven,
and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and
all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory,
and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb
for ever and ever.”
We should give God all the glory and thank Him for intervening in our
lives. Had our Creator not manifested Himself on this earth in the
presence of Jesus Christ we would all still be lost in our sins. We
would not have hope and confidence for our future, as we do now.
Without His active involvement, we could not be happy and healthy for
all time, as He promises that we will be.
Every man, woman and child who is receptive to the Gospel of Jesus
Christ will be saved to eternal life. If they have been obedient and
walked in love, they will be gathered to the Lord forever more. They
will be citizens of the Kingdom of God, His very own sons and
daughters. The Lord will boast of all of His children, however, His
Son, Jesus Christ, will be held in the highest esteem.
Jesus was the very Lamb of God who was sent to redeem all of mankind in
body, soul and spirit. He has been eminently successful and He deserves
all the praise, honor and glory that the Lord intends for Him. He will
be our just Judge and righteous King forever more. All the angels and
saints will worship Him in Spirit and in truth, and we will fellowship
intimately with Him as He desires.
Christ will be seated on His throne at the very right hand of God, our
Father, for all of eternity. Those of us who have faithfully served Him
will rule and reign at His side. We will be appointed kings and priests
of God to help govern His people. All men will be righteous and godly
and dwell in love, peace and unity as brothers and sisters. The Kingdom
of God will truly be heaven on this earth!
