What a wonderful thing to know that there is a whole new realm we can operate out of that is full of goodness, peace and joy. If you are a believer of Jesus Christ and have accepted his free gift of salvation then you are born again by the Spirit of God and have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of His dear Son, the Kingdom of Light…
I hope to open up that realm to you more with these posts so you can understand the wonders that are available right now for Christians all over the world, in every village, every town, every city & throughout every country. Like any place you live you cannot have full access to the benefits of that place unless you have knowledge of what is available for you to live with and have. So learn all you can about the Kingdom of God and you will be amazed at what is available to all believers right now!
The Kingdom of God is likened unto many different things in the Word of God, but before we look at what it is, let’s look at how we must come to enter into the Kingdom of God. Mar 10:15 says, “Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter into it.” Likewise Jesus in the second half of Mar 10:14 says to “Allow the little children to come to Me and do not hinder them. For of such is the kingdom of God.” The Kingdom of God is available for all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, but it must be accessed like a little child. When you think of a little child there are several attributes that immediately come to mind. They are firstly- TRUSTING, because they don’t know how to do things or what to do next… Second- BOLD, they are naturally eager to let you know what they want, and when they think they it…. Third- SIMPLE, because they don’t know all the ins and outs their requests and communication are simple, direct yet simple…. Fourth- JOYFUL, Children are naturally full of Joy until the environment around them breeds fear in them…. Fifth- THANKFUL, the innocent thankfulness and glee in a child who has just received is precious…. Sixth- HUMBLE, A child relies wholly on the strength of their Parents, they cannot do things on their own.
This picture of a child is perfect for us as believes, sons and daughters of God and how we are to come into the Kingdom. We must trust explicitly on Him in every facet of our lives. We can come boldly before His throne of Grace (Hebrews 4:16) and receive the Joy of the Lord which is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Our heavenly Father is moved by our faith and thankfulness (Philippians 4:6,7) and lifts up the humble and exalts them (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5). He wants us to come to a place where we know He is faithful and will do everything He has promised to do, every time. All throughout the Bible He is shown faithful to His Word. Just by studying out Abraham and Sarah you find that God was faithful and this faithfulness strengthened their faith to the point of believing in the promise of a child after they were well spent in years. If He says anything to you He will do it, as long as we do our part and follow His instructions…
Every Child knows the voice of their parents…. They are comforted by it, corrected by it and guided by it. It builds them up and gives them confidence to try new things and added strength to go beyond their fears and limitations. It imparts knowledge and wisdom to them and it smothers them with love. Our Heavenly Father is no different toward His children, in fact He never stops talking to us. We need to start developing an ear to hear his voice so we don’t miss out on all the benefits He has for us in His great plan of our lives. God wants to lead us by the voice of His Holy Spirit to save us from perils and show us things to come (John 16:13) things that will bless you and your family beyond your wildest dreams. God has never changed. Right from the beginning He has always wanted mankind to be blessed beyond measure, walking in authority upon the earth. He never sin, sickness and lack in the earth, man stuffed that up and let it in. God’s Kingdom has now been re-established by Jesus the second Adam and has reverted all attributes of life back to what was experienced in the Garden of Eden. We have fellowship with Him once more(1 John 1:3); authority over all things in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:20,21); Healing for our bodies (1Peter 2:23); Financial Prosperity (2 Corinthians 8:9); Peace in our Hearts and Minds (Philippians 4:7) and much much more…
All these wonderful things are available for us believers, but they are not all automatic. When Jesus died, was buried and rose again He did everything we will ever need to succeed in every area of life. There is nothing more He can do for us. The emphasis now is on us and our appropriating His promises in our lives, and that takes faith and patience. Learn to listen to Him and be led by that still small voice leading you from yourinner most being and He will bring you into the manifestation of His promises in your life. Be like a little child and enter into the Kingdom…
