I want all to know that it is the gospel of the kingdom that must go into all of the world. (Mat 24:14 KJV) And this GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then SHALL THE END COME. Too many are still preaching the gospel that John the Baptist preached. John the Baptist preached repentance and baptism. Even the Pharisees refused the counsel of God by not being baptized of John. (Luke 7:30 KJV) But the Pharisees and lawyers REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD against themselves, being not BAPTIZED of him.
Notice even then many did not believe it a NECESSITY to be baptized in water. They refused John's teachings from God. John preached repentance and baptism into water for salvation. Today a lot just preach repentance, even John preached more than that. Even the so called Baptist preach whosoever shall call upon the name of Jesus shall be saved. They preach death bed repentance. They miss all of the following verses and do not realize that a preacher who is sent will preach what it takes to be saved. He will give the OF THE KINGDOM to those who are called, chosen, and faithful. This makes it possible for all to fulfill the will of God. The so called Church of Christ stresses baptism, but deny the Holy Ghost. They do not believe in the gifts of the spirit working in the church today. Anyone who does not believe in the gifts working in the church, denies the spirit of Jesus Christ, the spirit of God, or the Holy Ghost. There is only one spirit which is God, and one name that has all power and all glory. That name is Jesus!
By FAITH in the keeping of the law in the old testament the Jews could be saved. The ones that were the true Israel of God followed God and done what was required under the law to be saved. There were many of Israel that did not follow God's ways and were rejected by God. (2 Ki 17:20 KJV) And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. (Jer 6:19 KJV) Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they HAVE NOT HEARKENED unto MY WORDS, NOR TO MY LAW, but REJECTED IT.
The nation of earthly Israel has suffered and lost it's status with God. They have been rejected as a carnal nation by God. There is no nation that has suffered the way the Jews have. They have even lost all records of being able to prove their genealogy. This happened because of their rejection of God and his Christ. (1 Ki 9:7 KJV) Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this HOUSE, which I have HALLOWED for MY NAME, will I CAST OUT OF MY SIGHT; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: (1 Ki 9:8 KJV) And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it SHALL BE ASTONISHED, and SHALL HISS; and they shall say, WHY hath the LORD DONE THUS TO THIS LAND, and to this HOUSE? (1 Ki 9:9 KJV) And they shall answer, Because they FORSOOK THE LORD THEIR GOD, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken HOLD UPON OTHER GODS, and have WORSHIPPED THEM, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
The Jews will kill you just as fast today for stating the truth, as they did in the days of the apostles. They tried to throw Jesus over a cliff for telling them THE TRUTH, and they killed Stephen for revealing the TRUTH unto them. (Acts 3:14 KJV) But ye DENIED the HOLY ONE and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; (Acts 3:15 KJV) And KILLED THE PRINCE OF LIFE, whom God hath RAISED FROM THE DEAD; whereof we are WITNESSES.
The Jews refused God's ways and are still refusing to accept his Messiah, it is sad but they are STILL ANTICHRIST and ANTI CHRISTIAN. They rejected God as their king.(1 Sam 8:7 KJV) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have REJECTED ME, that I should not reign over them. They rejected the Messiah and would not allow him to reign in the earthly kingdom of Israel neither. (John 19:14 KJV) And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! (John 19:15 KJV) But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I CRUCIFY YOUR KING? The CHIEF PRIESTS answered, We HAVE NO KING BUT CAESAR.
The only way that a Jew can enter into the Kingdom of God is through Jesus Christ, he is the one and only door. The ashes of the Red Heifer, rebuilding of a temple in Jerusalem, retaking of that ungodly land and ungodly city means nothing. (Rev 11:8 KJV) And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the GREAT CITY, which SPIRITUALLY IS CALLED SODOM and EGYPT, where also our Lord was crucified. All people that do not accept Jesus Christ are rejected. (John 10:1 KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not BY THE DOOR into the SHEEPFOLD, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a THIEF AND A ROBBER.
God's chosen people are the ones that accept Jesus as Messiah no others are his chosen people. Everyone must enter in through Jesus' words. (John 3:5 KJV) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN be BORN OF WATER and OF THE SPIRIT, he CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. When it comes to being chosen and entering into the kingdom we all are equal. (Gal 3:28 KJV) There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, there is NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. This applies to salvation not to being equal in gender in this world, just as it does not do away with nationalities in this world. We are in this world but not of it. This is why we are not to act according to the ones that are in this world and are part of it.
When we talk of Israel in the middle east, we must remember that they want a carnal earthly kingdom. They are very proud and believe that as a nation they are to rule this world. Because of their pride and because they lifted themselves up doing it their way. God refused them as he did Satan because of his pride. (Mat 3:9 KJV) And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. The Jews ( who cannot prove their genealogy) still think they are the children of Abraham. They do not know that the children of Abraham are the children of faith, the church. (Gal 3:7 KJV) Know ye therefore that they which are OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM. (Mat 13:38 KJV) The field is the world; the GOOD SEED are the CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM; but the tares are the CHILDREN OF THE WICKED ONE.
The kingdom of God is not of the order of any earthly order and never will be. The earthly Israel in the middle east will never rule the Israel of God, the church. They are carnal earthly and materialistic. They want a carnal natural nation, without Christ Jesus, that rules the wealth of all other nations. They want Israel to have the worldly honor as it had when Solomon ruled their nation. (John 18:36 KJV) Jesus answered, My kingdom is NOT OF THIS WORLD: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is MY KINGDOM NOT FROM HENCE. The kingdom of God will never be of the order of the modern Pharisees, which are the Babylonian Jews that rule the middle east Israel of today. As they rejected the Messiah, God has rejected their earthly kingdom. Never will he return to this middle east country and declare it his kingdom, nor will he ever return to the ceremonial law, or animal sacrifice.
What is the gospel of the Kingdom that was given by the testimony of Jesus Christ unto the world? And what were the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM that were given through this testimony of our Lord and Savior? These keys were given by Jesus himself. (Mat 16:18 KJV) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Mat 16:19 KJV) And I WILL GIVE unto thee the KEYS of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The sin that is bound on earth cannot enter into heaven or take place there. These sins are bound from the earthly flesh of our bodies that Christ might live within us. (Eph 5:5 KJV) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath ANY INHERITANCE in the KINGDOM OF CHRIST AND OF GOD. There is only ONE KINGDOM, ONE KING, AND ONE THRONE. Before we go any farther let us see if the KINGDOM OF GOD has come.
Jesus made some very important statements about his kingdom and when it would come. (Mat 16:28 KJV) 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. Christians know that Jesus himself as the Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost. (John 14:17 KJV) Even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, NEITHER KNOWETH HIM: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, and SHALL BE IN YOU. (John 14:18 KJV) I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS: I WILL COME TO YOU.
Jesus brought the kingdom here with him, but
one key (THE BLOOD OF JESUS) was not given as of
yet. The Kingdom did not come, in full power, unto the
children of the kingdom until the day of Pentecost. Look and see what this
verse says. (Mat 12:28 KJV) But if I CAST OUT DEVILS by the SPIRIT
OF GOD, then the KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UNTO YOU. Jesus plainly
stated the kingdom had come point blank. He was the KING OF
THE KINGDOM. Now this same power is given to all that are in the KINGDOM
OF GOD.
Never has the power to heal the sick, cast out devils, speak in tongues, take up
serpents been given to such a number of people. The
kingdom has come in power and the children of the kingdom has all of these signs following them.
(Mark 16:17 KJV) And these SIGNS
shall follow THEM THAT BELIEVE; In MY NAME shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; (Mark 16:18 KJV) 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. If we cast
out devils (BEING JOINT HEIRS) by the spirit of God, then
the kingdom of God is still here. We are the children of the kingdom,
not carnal Israel of the middle east.
(Luke 10:18 KJV) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (Luke 10:19 KJV) 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. (Luke 10:20 KJV) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN. For your name to be written in heaven means you are a CITIZEN of the KINGDOM OF GOD.
We were Gentiles and not a nation, nor were we citizens in the kingdom of God, but now we are a holy nation, a peculiar people. We are the Israel of God and rule with him as kings and priests in his kingdom. (1 Pet 2:9 KJV) But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an HOLY NATION, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS into his marvellous light. (1 Pet 2:10 KJV) Which in TIME PAST WERE NOT A PEOPLE, but are NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
This power, of the Holy Ghost, is given to all , but the church because of ignorance, not knowing who the true Israel of God is, and being ignorant to the powers that have been given unto us, being given only milk (BASIC DOCTRINES.) Have the church, as a whole, living below its privileges. False teachings of Trinitarians have crept in also. We need to learn the revelation of Jesus Christ and allow his power to work through us. The book of Revelation is not just end time prophecy. It is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Some never get by repentance, every service they need to repent. Some preachers constantly preach baptism in Jesus name to people that already have performed this, and need to move on. Some preach the baptism of the Holy Ghost to people who know it by heart never moving on, never breaking camp, continuing to camp around the mountain and never entering into his complete rest. Always doubting never coming to the full stature of Christ Jesus. Like the Corinthians that knew all of these things, but who could not eat meat nor have these things performed in their life, because of petty childish contentions and lack of faith. (Isa 28:9 KJV) Whom shall HE TEACH KNOWLEDGE? and whom SHALL HE MAKE TO UNDERSTAND DOCTRINE? them that are WEANED FROM MILK, and DRAWN FROM THE BREASTS. (Eph 4:13 KJV) Till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULLNESS OF CHRIST.
God wants people who are warriors! Who don't JUST like to go to church and shout and praise his holy name, and do nothing else! It seems with the majority. WHEN THE SHOUTING AND THE JUMPING IS OVER, very few want to go to battle. God made you a child of the kingdom and will give you all of the power that he has promised, if you will grow up. There are too many babes that love being babes, and too many pastors preaching too much milk to ones that are ready to go on. People in the apostolic churches are starving for lack of meat.
(Luke 16:16 KJV) The law and the prophets WERE UNTIL JOHN: SINCE THAT TIME the KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, and every man PRESSETH into it. Then the kingdom was preached by Jesus with the demonstration of the spirit and power. (Luke 4:18 KJV) The SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the POOR; he hath SENT ME to HEAL the BROKENHEARTED, to PREACH DELIVERANCE to the CAPTIVES, and RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, to SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT BRUISED. We have these same powers as members and joint heirs of the kingdom.
Jesus was the first of the brethren to be able to give the spirit of God under his ministry. Jesus then gave this power to the chosen children of his kingdom. Peter was the first after Jesus. He gave the keys to the kingdom of Christ on the day of Pentecost by preaching more than baptism unto repentance. He preached full repentance, baptism for the remission of sins in Jesus name, and was the first to promise the gift of the Holy Ghost to all. (Acts 2:38 KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS, and ye SHALL RECEIVE the GIFT of the Holy Ghost. The SPIRIT of CHRIST JESUS is the GIFT of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 applies the blood of Jesus Christ to your life.
These same things had to be present when the Gentiles were allowed to enter into the KINGDOM OF CHRIST JESUS. (Acts 10:44 KJV) While Peter yet spake these words, the HOLY GHOST fell on all them which heard the word. (Acts 10:45 KJV) And they of the circumcision which believed were ASTONISHED, as many as came with Peter, because that on the GENTILES also was poured out the GIFT of the HOLY GHOST. (Acts 10:46 KJV) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, (Acts 10:47 KJV) Can any man FORBID WATER, that these should not be BAPTIZED, which have RECEIVED the HOLY GHOST as well as we? The same keys, full repentance, baptism for remission of sins in Jesus name by having the blood applied, and the gift of the Holy Ghost ushered the Gentiles into the KINGDOM OF GOD.
Jesus is the Holy Ghost, without faith in him no one can receive his spirit. This is why Philip and all in the kingdom of God preached Jesus (THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST. (Acts 8:35 KJV) Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. (1 Cor 2:2 KJV) For I determined not to know any thing among you, save JESUS CHRIST, and HIM CRUCIFIED. (Acts 5:42 KJV) And daily in the temple, and in every house, they CEASED NOT to TEACH and PREACH JESUS CHRIST.
When you fully repent, are baptized for the remission of sins in Jesus name having his blood applied, accept and believe in Jesus Christ receiving his spirit which is the Holy Ghost. You enter into the Kingdom Of God by faith in Jesus the KING. (Heb 11:6 KJV) But without FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE HIM: for he that COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. We must believe that Jesus is God by having faith and acting upon it. Then we will be REWARDED by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost which is the spirit of Jesus Christ, our one and only God. We are rewarded citizenship and entrance into the Kingdom of Christ Jesus.
When we preach the kingdom, the kingdom comes with power and with signs following us. This is the promise that was given unto us by Jesus Christ. We who are in the kingdom do not come with just enticing words of men's wisdom, but we come in the power of Christ Jesus. (1 Cor 2:4 KJV) And my speech and my preaching was NOT WITH ENTICING WORDS of MAN'S WISDOM, but in DEMONSTRATION of the SPIRIT AND OF POWER. (John 14:12 KJV) 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. This is the gospel and power of the kingdom.
God will never work in any ones life if they continue in unbelief having dead works. (Heb 6:1 KJV) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not LAYING AGAIN the FOUNDATION of REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, and of faith toward God, (Heb 9:14 KJV) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORK to SERVE the living God? Being filled with the Holy Ghost is for power to overcome the devil, not just to shout and jump and speak in tongues. The devil can do that, but Satan nor his people have the power to bring forth only good fruit unto God through the power of God. Bad fruit is not allowed into the kingdom of God.
Now let us preach the KINGDOM OF GOD with the POWER of God. (Mat 6:13 KJV) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine IS THE KINGDOM, and THE POWER, and THE GLORY, FOR EVER. Amen. Ever lasting power in Christ Jesus. (Acts 1:8 KJV) But ye shall RECEIVE POWER, AFTER that the HOLY GHOST is COME UPON YOU: and ye shall be WITNESSES UNTO ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. WITNESSING that KING JESUS and his KINGDOM, WAS, IS, AND IS TO COME. This is the gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD. It simply is an everlasting kingdom.
The keys that Peter received to give to the church
was this. FULL REPENTANCE, BAPTISM IN JESUS NAME FOR THE REMISSION
OF SINS BEING COVERED BY HIS BLOOD, THE INFILLING OF GOD'S SPIRIT, AND
BELIEF IN JESUS AS GOD ALONE. This equals CITIZENSHIP into the KINGDOM OF
GOD. If you have his spirit by being his habitation.
Then the KINGDOM OF GOD has come to you in the power
of the HOLY GHOST. Let us go on and preach and claim
the power that he has given. The testimony that Jesus gave us was the power
of his anointing through his powerful works bringing the kingdom of God.
We have this testimony and his spirit
to perform
the same works in the KINGDOM OF GOD. (Rev 19:10 KJV) And
I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it
not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY
OF JESUS: WORSHIP GOD: for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS is
the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Satan makes war with us because of the
testimony. (Rev 12:17 KJV) And the DRAGON WAS WROTH with the WOMAN,
and WENT TO MAKE WAR with the REMNANT OF HER SEED , which KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF GOD, and HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST. The testimony
of Jesus Christ is made manifest in us because we have the power and spirit witnessed by
the signs and wonders that follow us. This proves we are in the KINGDOM OF CHRIST JESUS,
God bless all!
