Many in today's world are searching for spirituality but are being turned off by religiosity. Far too many religious organizations focus on rules and traditions and empty words, failing to connect with people's spiritual needs, whereas the Christianity that's revealed in The New Testament is welcoming, life-changing, and powerful.

When ordinary people grasp Jesus' message of the Kingdom, they can do extraordinary things. Jesus and His followers changed the world by advancing the Kingdom of God on earth, and you can too.

The Kingdom of God Is at Hand

Scripture tells us, "Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel'" (Mark 1:14, 15).

The Greek word μετανοέω (metanoeō) translated as repent means to reconsider, to begin to think differently. The good news is that we can turn from our past failures and through belief in Jesus experience God's reigning presence in our lives today!

Jesus says, "'The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and EVERYONE IS PRESSING INTO IT'" (Luke 16:16, emphasis added).

Let's also press in! Let's walk in the Kingdom as Jesus proclaimed it in His earthly ministry through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Essence of God's Kingdom

Jesus revealed to Pontius Pilate the supernatural essence of His Kingdom, declaring, "'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight…'" (John 18:36).

This divine realm surpasses secular politics and earthly institutions, offering a transformative spiritual reality that empowers believers to impact the world around them.

As Jesus explained to the Pharisees, "'The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, "See here!" or "See there!" For indeed, the kingdom of God is WITHIN you'" (Luke 17:20, 21, emphasis added).

By choosing to walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit as Jesus did (Luke 10:9), we proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom while manifesting the Kingdom's present and future aspects. Through our actions, we witness the rebirth of lives touched by God's power, and the advancement of the Kingdom.

The Gospel of the Kingdom extends far beyond individual salvation and spiritual growth. It unveils God's plan to redeem all creation from Satan's control, calling on all believers to participate in this restoration effort. This far-reaching message reveals the immensity of God's love and His relentless pursuit to reclaim and transform the world.

Paul reminds us of its essence: "The kingdom of God is ... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). Walking in this spiritual realm, we increasingly experience and share these divine qualities, fulfilling our God-given purpose and contributing to the redemption of all creation.

Unveiling the Gospel of the Kingdom

We read in Matthew 4:23, "Jesus of Nazareth went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people."

Jesus empowers His followers to continue His work of unveiling the Kingdom during the normal flow of their day, saying, "'MOST ASSUREDLY, I say to YOU, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father'" (John 14:12, emphasis added).

Would you like to pray and see people set free from sickness and bondage to be given a new purpose in life? You too can have faith for the impossible and reveal God's Kingdom to a hurting world!

Accessing the Keys to the Kingdom

Jesus is the DOOR to the KINGDOM, the King Himself, and He has given us access to the keys of the Kingdom. He promises, "'Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven'" (Matthew 16:19).

By deepening your relationship with Jesus and walking in His authority, you can…

• Have an intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father
• Break any bondages that are holding you back
• Experience God's anointing daily
• Discover your place in the Body of Christ
• Undertake your role in God's Kingdom
  
  

Empowered for Kingdom Work

As believers, we are not powerless in our Kingdom role. The Holy Spirit has equipped us with nine special abilities known as gifts of the Holy Spirit. Paul writes, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:3, 4).

I can still recall picking up our old family Bible when I was a young boy, and flipping randomly through its pages until it fell open to 1 Corinthians, chapter 12.

In total wonderment, I found myself reading about gifts of healing, the working of miracles, the discerning of evil spirits, words of prophecy, and people speaking in unknown tongues.

It was nothing like the children's Bible stories I knew. God's Kingdom seemed all so mysterious and captivating, and little did I realize that years later I would experience everything I was reading about.

These gifts of the Spirit enable us to carry out our mission to manifest the Gospel of the Kingdom and destroy the works of the devil (Romans 8:18-25). Using these special abilities encourages our faith by unveiling our true spiritual identity in Christ, giving us a taste of the powers of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5).

Proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom

Jesus prophesies, "'This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come'" (Matthew 24:14).

The Greek word κηρύσσω (kēryssō) translated as preach means to publish or proclaim openly. Proclaimed openly by who? As followers of Jesus, WE are called to be "ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us" (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Scripture says, "All things are of God, who has reconciled US to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given US the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to US the word of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18, 19, emphasis added).

Our role is to reveal God's love and proclaim the good news of the Kingdom to the broken world around us until Jesus returns. This role is not left to the five-fold ministry or a professional clergy; it's their calling to serve and equip US for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11, 12).

To fulfill our calling, we must follow Jesus' example and align our hearts and minds with the Father's will "on earth as it is in Heaven" (Luke 11:2), and be obedient to the Holy Spirit's leading.

And remember, we are not alone in our calling. Jesus promises, "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love" (John 15:10).
