AS IT IS IN HEAVEN Pt.4

MANIFESTING GOD'S KINGDOM IN YOU

Whenever some folks hear about God's kingdom, they quickly think about heaven. Yes, heaven is God's kingdom but not everything about it.

Heaven is the fullness or consumation of God's kingdom but God's kingdom starts when Christ begins to reign and rule in the life of believers. The believer is already in God's kingdom.

When we were in the world, we were in the kingdom of darkness but as soon as we gave our lives to Jesus Christ, there was a switch.

For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins (Colossians 1:13‭-‬14 NLT).

There's a link between the kingdom of God and the manifestation of His will here on earth. In the Lord's prayer, Jesus said, “...Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10)

That kingdom is already within us as believers and we can operate in and manifest that kingdom here on earth. Hallelujah!!!

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you(Luke 17:21).

The ministry of Jesus manifested the kingdom of God right here on earth through healing. The bible says, "And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you'( Luke 10:9).

The kingdom of God also includes casting out demons, thus setting the captives free: "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you" (Luke 11:20). Hallelujah!!!

When we manifest God's kingdom, we bring upon the lives of men the will of God as it is in heaven. Heaven comes upon the earth when we manifest God's kingdom.

Our calling is to preach the kingdom of God (the will of God being done on earth as in heaven), and demonstrate it by healing the sick, casting out demons, and yes, even raising the dead!

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give( Matthew 10:7-8).

Don't be afraid to preach the kingdom, pray for the sick, deliver the oppressed, cleanse the leper and raise the dead.

Some may say, "But it seems this kingdom message is about healing and deliverance. What about righteousness"?

Let's read Romans 14:17: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost".

Righteousness is a vital part of God's kingdom. Living the kingdom life is holistic.

CONFESSION: I am in the kingdom of God. I am a carrier of God's kingdom. I manifest the kingdom of God. The will of God as it is in heaven shall manifest in my life. I enjoy heaven on earth in Jesus name.
