Kingdom, Prophetic, Spiritual Warfare

IMG_0644

God is raising up watchmen. Find your place on His wall and proclaim his truth.

 

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. – ( Luke 10:19 ESV)

It’s time to lay down our fears at the foot of the cross. Fear is a stronghold that rules the lives of many in the western Church. Fear is empowered by “serpents and scorpions.” While we may be ridiculed – most of us in the west are not facing martyrdom for our beliefs, at least not at this time. The days of fearing man and what might happen to us for proclaiming the gospel are over. It’s the Fathers will to give his children the Kingdom. We have been given great power and authority. And, we have been strategically placed in American (or whatever country you are in) to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom without fear or hesitation.

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We have been indwelt with the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus’ dead body from the grave. He died for our justification, so we have no excuses, we stand justified before God. He gave us power and authority – but  we have been feeding our souls on carnal things and have lost the reality of resurrection living.

It’s time my believing friends – to take back that part of our lives that we have surrendered to the enemy of our souls.

It’s time to rediscover Kingdom living.

It’s time to give ourselves to prayer and total dependency on God.

It’s time to embrace the abundant life that Jesus offers us and to lead others to this life of freedom also.

“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” – (Luke 12:32 ESV)

Between The Times

John Wesley, Kingdom

3710391997_d61a3d8165_z
 “Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.” – Matthew 6:10 (ESV)We are living between the times. The time of the already and the not yet. A time of great sorrow and joy. John Wesley said, “A high degree of spiritual sorrow and spiritual joy may consist together.” The Kingdom came with Jesus, but will not be fully manifest until he returns to the earth to live with his people forever. He will destroy (burn up) this present world system. Until then we must pursue justice in the earth on behalf of the weak, poor, and the oppressed. And offer the hope of the Gospel of the Kingdom to all. We must oppose and expose the works of darkness in the earth, as we seek to live out the reality of the Kingdom in our own personal lives, now.

Anytime we pray and see a sick person healed or someone delivered from demonic oppression, the Kingdom of God has broke through. Everyone we pray for will not be saved – everyone is not healed – everyone is not delivered. So in this life, as we wait for the end of this present evil age, we must do the work of the Kingdom that Jesus has called us to do, and leave the results to Him. Some today seek to do the works Jesus did, and that is good, but we must remember that God is sovereign and our power comes from Him. We, as New Covenant believers have the privilege of walking in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit right now. But that doesn’t guarantee a pain free life, while we live between the times.
