You will never mature in the kingdom of God until you are willing to work in the kingdom of God.
God made Jesus the son so he could model the life we are now called to live. He gave us the Holy Spirit as the down payment of the covenant which he has given to us. He has called us to obey him.
Why do so many hide behind the rocks pointing at Goliath in fear. Where is David who will rise up from behind the rocks. God brought the victory through one who would believe and stand up and work in the kingdom of God. Great revival happened in Israel.
I do not come with human ability or wisdom, but I come in the demonstration of the spirit and power.
Matt 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
This is declaring to men who do not know that Jesus has come and that all authority is given in the name of Jesus. Be one who is willing to stand and declare the word of God. Do not keep silent; believe in the power and authority of the name of Jesus.
Lu 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Do not hold back to proclaim Jesus; preserving your life and reputation. We accommodate demon spirits which are set on keeping us from speaking to men who are on their way to hell.
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
The authority to cast out devils is given to us.
The greatest thing that we are afraid of is ourselves; we are afraid to be rejected or to fail. Unless you engage in the ministry of the gospel you will never mature.
If we will abandon ourselves and risk our lives we can set men free from all that holds them in bondage. The first thing he gives us power over is demon spirits.
Matt 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Follow Jesus, and obey him. We follow the Lord and he is our shield, buckler and spear.
Mt 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
What area of influence have you refused to risk your life in.
Matt 16:24 ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
It is a responsibility to disciple those who the Lord touches through your life.
Lu 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
These works shall ye do and greater. The message is urgent; if you have an excuse now you will continue to have an excuse. Bring forth the fruit; whatever you ask the Father he will do it.

Psalm 119:155 ¶ Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
God came to his family and demanded change. He declared that they were fashioned after their father the devil.
People are stuck in what they know and what they think such that they will not allow God to come and change them into a little child.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
The gospel says to man, to those of Israel first, everyone can come in to the place where all but the high priest were forbidden to go. John the Baptist spoke such a radical message that the scoundrels came to be baptized in water for repentance.
God demands change, but we have so many things that get in the way, the things of this world which we hold more important. It is a time of grace whereby anyone can come in and look into the peace and love of God, but so many also love to run after their sin.
By continual yieldedness to God he changes us and establishes all his ways in us.
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
This declares the change! Why are we not willing to do so?
Everyone born of God knows how to yield to the holy ghost. When temptation comes and would deceive them to draw them away into rebellion they do not know how to yield to God and resist the devil.
1Jo 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
1Jo 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
John declared, Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Get ready, the kingdom of God is at hand. Repentance isn’t the sorrow or the acts to make up for failure, but it brings a joyous obedience and relationship.
Jesus condemned sin in the flesh and said it does not belong in humanity. This is the gospel.
The hour is desperate, and the day is now. The realms of the satanic harden the heart.
The realms of God are a continual relationship and reward.
Many people have violated spiritual things such that their iniquity overwhelmed their conversion, because they were not willing to be converted and to be led in change every day.
2 Cor 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The world and the church are drunken on their sin, refusing to live in the change. Are you willing to hearken to his voice, repent; forsake you life and chose to follow Jesus. Walk in his footsteps. Peter was one of the first who understood the change of repentance. He said depart from me, I am a wicked man.
Luke 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
He will show you love and mercy, but he demands change. You must leave you strife, hatred and divisions.
Eph 5:5 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.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
You must be willing to submit to change; to be made a disciple.
Preach repentance; declare change; declare conversion. They must be converted and become like a little child, forgiveness for all their sins and making it a miracle of conversion.
Conversion brings change of heart and change of mind, but will we believe that this conversion is in true righteousness and holiness.
Col 3:12 ¶ Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Rom 8:29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Isa 58; God demanded a fast of those things which they could do. To refuse to find fault in others and to stop with the evil of tongue.
What God found was that there was not a heart in them to do it. So he gave us a new heart.
The kingdom of God is radical change. Change is simple when you know what to do.
Be converted and become like a little child. None of us know anything like we ought to know. Live in the simple faithfulness and yieldedness of a child. As many as walk and are led by the spirit, these are the sons of God.
God demands you to be conformed into the image of Jesus. Forsake everything and follow me.
The first thing Jesus sees in Nathaniel is his character; behold one in whom is no guile; yet he needed to be converted.
Unless you are willing to be converted you will not go in; depart from me ye that work iniquity.
Go to the word of God and get your mind washed
God has judged and I will speak of his judgments. Every form of sin is worthy of death; they that sin shall die eternally. If you refrain from declaring that and you speak in his name than you are a deceiver. Stop your own way to make things right and preach the truth of change lest they have no hope of conversion.

Living in a continual increase of the anointing.
If our gospel is hid, it is hid because the god of this world has blinded their eyes, but we have been given the power to call people out of their darkness and into the glory of the light of God.
Be filled with the spirit and let the rivers of living water flow out of your innermost being. The very proclamation of the gospel creates the miracle.
Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
You must find the place of absolute certainty; standing with Jesus in his authority.
Jesus message and ministry; Mark 1:34; Luke 10.
Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.
Lu 4:18 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 are bruised,
Forsake your own way and your own concept of things. God has judged, and I will speak those judgments in his name. He has called captives to be set free. He calls all who are near and all who are far away.
Jesus said to go make disciples of all nations. This is the power that Jesus gives.
Jesus is the model son, who shows us what it means to please the Father. Paul is the model Christian who demonstrates how to follow Jesus. Jesus Christ lives in you, living in the glorious liberty of Christ.
Stand in the simple grace of God’s love and in all authority tell the captives to be set free. Speak the word of God and let the power of the miracle of an encounter with God be seen. Be living word of God speakers; an oracle of God. Do not add to his word or take away from it.
If you are looking for the praises of men it is because you are unrighteous and iniquity is in you. We are just unprofitable servants, doing that which is my duty to do.
Come be like a little child, interacting with his Father. When you get there you can flow in the anointing. Recognize it is not you that speaks, but Christ who speaks in you.
There is a way to heaven, but it is narrow and few come in. God hates arrogance, but dwells with the humble heart. Believe that everywhere you go Jesus is with you.
Mark 16:14 ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 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.
Do it God’s way. Believe God for anything beyond what we can think or ask. Just obey the word of the Lord; there is the miracle. God expects to be obeyed. Just love and obey him; obedience will go a long way.
Mark 16:19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Preaching in the name of Jesus and doing what he did.
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
The message is repentance and remission of sins. We preach repentance in the name of Jesus. This will bring the miracle of the new birth.

John 3:1 ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus was a very “good” man. Jesus was dealing in John chapter 3 with a man who did what was right, and treated men right.
No matter who someone is, a person must be born from above. The righteousness of Nicodemus likely exceeded most people in the church. Mary and Elizabeth and Zacharias where dedicated to the law of God and his ways; Nicodemus was certainly similar. Regardless, everyone needs to be born of the spirit.
The reality is that every man has sinned and come short of the glory of God.
We have two responsibilities; to have a relationship with the Lord to where we live at the highest level of morality and ethics; yet we live totally dependent upon the Holy Ghost and the grace of the Lord Jesus.
Even with the righteousness that Nicodemus had; sin still had to be finished; he had to come and be born of God.
We need to shine as a light unto the world, to where we truly are the Holy Ones. We have a responsibility not only to tell them, but to show them. Moving into a place in our lives where there is enough anointing that people would sense it.
This is about an encounter with the almighty God; the privilege and opportunity to come and be mentored by the Holy Ghost.
We must be those so desperate, like a deer in the desert; then I will open up the rivers of heaven. We need to find some place in God where we are focused and completely desperate for the anointing of God. Jesus demands this passionate hunger for the righteousness of the kingdom.
What are you hungry and thirsty for. Do you have too many things on the list? Or is your eye single. Distractions will dilute your focus and cause unhappiness to come to you. There is a lot of reason for us to be compassionate to a lost and dying world and to be understanding and sympathy to their state; but there should also be the tension to desire to prove a Jesus different than the false representations so many have seen.
The longing doesn’t reach to something in your self, but a heart cry to God that he would move through you to touch a hurting and dying world.
Oh God, how can I be stirred with the compassion that compelled you to be crucified so you could show me your love.
