Kingdom Reality PT III

The task of all believers is to establish the Kingdom of God in the earth today, so the reality of his Kingdom may be seen by all. Because the Kingdom of God is invisible and is present only in the hearts of those who believe in Christ, then how shall we show this Kingdom to the world? By trusting in God's word, that's how. If there is one thing Jesus has shown us by his example, if we have learned anything from his life at all, it is that we can completely trust in God's word. God's word can be trusted! If we know nothing else, this alone will be enough to make us victorious in every situation, both now and forever. God can do what his word says he can do, and he is what his word says he is, and God requires us to trust his word, if we are to fulfill our mission of proclaiming the Kingdom of God to the world.
The world cannot ignore the truth of God's word any longer. God will not allow his Kingdom, which is established upon his word and built upon the souls of those who believe it, to be shoved aside, as if it were some worthless notion of men. God will not continue to stand idly by while men blaspheme and attack his word, his Kingdom, and his people. God will manifest himself; either in his revival glory or in his awesome judgments. The Messiah has come and has promised to return. Just as his first coming was prophesied and fulfilled, so will his second coming surely take place. This time he's coming with a sword, not a cross, and he will reign from henceforth forever. It behooves us to prepare for his sure and certain return. It is our duty to lay aside our petty, earthbound priorities, and make the Kingdom of God our first priority. Let us make the secret of the Kingdom of God known to all. The time draws near. Let us work while it is day. The night is coming when no man can work. We must not hide our light. Blessed and happy are the feet of those who proclaim peace, justice, and eternal life, who bring glad tidings of God's Kingdom! Blessed and happy are all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ! Their King is soon to appear. Woe to those who do not love our Lord Jesus Christ! Their kingdom shall soon disappear. Maranatha! The Lord is coming!
