For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
If you live Kingdom minded, you cannot be blinded by the devil. The reason so many sin and lose their souls is because they are not Kingdom minded but focused on the earth alone because their minds are blinded by Satan to eternity. Carnal minded, devil blinded, and you will live only for the flesh as if this life in the world, as you know it now, is your only life. But that makes many lose hope and purpose.
Kingdom minded, spiritually sighted, and you will live with Me in the Spirit, knowing you have eternal life to look forward to in a glorious Kingdom forever. Life as you know it now in the world is not the end, but only the beginning. It is merely a period of testing of whether you can be entrusted with the Kingdom. Live your life walking in love as I do so as to obtain your full reward.
In His teaching on prayer, My Son began by speaking of the Kingdom, “Our Father, who art in HEAVEN, hallowed be Your Name, YOUR KINGDOM COME,” and ends speaking of the Kingdom, “For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” And the way He spoke of the Kingdom was with honor and reverence. It should be the beginning and the ending of every prayer of your heart. Every day you should be busy about bringing people to the Kingdom and the Kingdom to the earth. This is so important that My Son cannot return until the Kingdom has been preached to every nation and people group.
This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14.
How do you bring people to the Kingdom? Let Jesus tell you:
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
They must be born again. How are you born again? This same question was asked by a Pharisee named Nicodemus who came to question Jesus under the cover of night for fear of his fellow Pharisees, who had rejected Jesus:
Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” John 3:4.
Jesus had the answer for He came to die and rise to give it to you:
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:5-6.
My Word is spirit and life. Adam was born from above by My imperishable Word spoken in truth and made in My image according to My likeness, for I am My Word. But by later rejecting My Word and submitting to the lies of the devil, a mere creature, he was born again from below, for lies are perishable and subject to death, they corrupt and they perish, and being born again by the lie, corruption and death entered him and he and all born of his seed became perishable. But the worst effect was that his spirit died to Me and came alive to sin. He took the nature of the one he made his master, Satan, and he came under the condemnation of the devil. You will be under the same judgment as your master.
You have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the Word which was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:23-25.
Adam was My child, My family, the day I breathed My breath into him, but once he died to Me and took a new father, the father of lies, he had a new birthright by adoption. Legally he was a child of the devil by choice. And so were all those born of his line, which is everyone.
But the good news is I give you the opportunity to return to your true Father, your creator and LORD, in Jesus. When you are born again from above by receiving Jesus, My Word made flesh, as your Lord, you are adopted back into your family of the One who begot you in the beginning and you become a new creation in Christ.
But as many as received Jesus, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
I become your “Abba,” “Father (Papa)”.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Romans 8:15-17.
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, so that He might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through the gracious act of God. Galatians 4:4-7.
I prepared Heaven for you and Hell for the devil, but you will go with one to whose word you submit. Each day you are presented with choices that result in life or death, the blessing or the curse, love or hate, forgiveness or unforgiveness, and it is up to you to choose, but your choice will determine your eternity. Every moment matters. What you think, say, and do is important and should not be taken lightly by you so that you just vent anything that comes into your head.
Stay Kingdom minded so that you can be spiritually sighted, that is, so you can see everything with spiritual insight and discernment in order that you are not taken in by the tactics of the devil and his demons.
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” . . . “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:34, 41.
You definitely want to be on the righteousness side on your day of judgment. Seek My KINGDOM and My righteousness, which is a free gift to you in Christ, and all will be added to you besides, both for your earthly life now and for your entrance into the Kingdom forever.
And Jesus instructed you how to bring souls to the Kingdom, and it all has to sharing the good news of Salvation and being born from above by the water of the Word and the Spirit of Holiness.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.
Jesus, the night He was betrayed and was soon to return to Me when He finished the work of your salvation that He came to do, told you who believe in Him that you would do the works He did and greater in His Name and with the Holy Spirit in you and on you. Jesus did very great works, more than all the books in the world can hold, so what are the “greater works” you are to do?
The only work that you can do that is greater than what He did while He was on earth as one like you, is the work He came to do as He was ready to return to Me, that is, His taking all your sins into His own earthly body and paying your sentence of death and hell, giving the eternal life in the flesh He had as the second Adam to pay for the debt owed Divine justice for the eternal life murdered by your sin. And by His death and resurrection you can be born again without sin before Me and renewed and regenerated in the water of My Word. In the letter of Peter, the Spirit tells you that you are born again of imperishable seed through My living and enduring Word which was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:23-25. And the instructions for how you receive that Word and are saved are in the letter of Paul to the Romans:
“The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,”that is, the Word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:8-13.
And what is the Name that you must call on as Lord to receive Him, be born from above, and be saved? Jesus (Yeshuah, Salvation). You must believe that I raised Him from the dead with all your sins paid for in full and gone as if they had never been. By the blood of the cross, you ae justified and righteous in My sight and at peace with Me.
Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts 2:37-39.
And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:29-31.
Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12.
The gift you have received as a gift, give as a gift. Give the gift of eternal life. Stop and speak to those I put in your path and direct you to by My Spirit and tell them the good news about Jesus and the eternal Kingdom and then if they open their hearts to Him, lead them in the prayer as I told it to you from that evangelizer Paul who used it to save many souls from eternal death:
Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus. He died for me. I believe you raised Him from the dead. I confess that Jesus is Lord, Jesus is my Lord. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit and lead me in the beautiful life you prepared for me that I might enjoy it. Amen.
Is that enough? Yes, actually just calling the Name “Jesus” as Lord with the understanding that He died for your sins, and was raised up to give you new life, that is, eternal life, is enough to raise you up and seal you in Him by the Holy Spirit as a pledge as saved forever.
For if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
And what has taken place in you?
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:3-7.
You are a new creation in Christ, old things have passed away and all is new, so you can renew your mind in My Word and walk in newness of life! The glorious freedom of My children, free from condemnation and sin. It is like the parable My Son told of the prodigal son, the sin is gone and the celebration is on. As your Father, I am always ready to receive you home, just repent, return, rejoice, and I will restore and fill you with the Holy Spirit. You can begin to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give constant thanks for that is My Will for you who are IN Christ Jesus, for your born again spirit is alive to Me and dead to sin.
And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead. Of Jesus all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Acts 10:42-46.
Before My Son can return for the Church and take back the earth to make it new and free from the corruption of sin and death, to cleanse it from the curse as new heavens and earth, the good news of the Kingdom will be preached to every nation and people group. Will you become an ambassador of Mine to bring those who are lost to the Kingdom? Help them find the way home to My everlasting arms. My Son commanded you to be His witnesses from where you are to the ends of the earth. And that is good preparation for coming to eternity. Those who win souls are wise.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls. Proverbs 11:30.
And now you understand why My Son’s lesson on prayer began with lifting your mind to the Kingdom and ended with another raising of your eyes to the Kingdom, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
I love you. Join Me in Kingdom living and Kingdom giving. Let us seek and save the lost. Jesus sent you as I sent Him to do that very thing. What have you been doing? Are you Kingdom minded? Or are you just focused on yourself and the world?
And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:1-3.
