If you don't grow up in God ( being made in his image and likeness)
You will allow people to mold and shape you into their image and God's image in you become tainted and you'll become a misinterpretation of heaven's culture while sojourning in the earth.
Before a government attacks a foreign country it raptures it's citizens out of that country ( SYSTEM). I believe God the father is going to do the same with his remnant church out the religious system that men have manufactured in his name. God wants his remnant to meet together and serve him on his terms and not a mans denominational terms. Getting back to the basics where JESUS is Lord(OWNER) and King in the lives of his followers. He that hath an ear !
The 1st century Apostles preached the message that Jesus himself commanded them to preach found in Matt 10:7. This message was preached by the Apostles and they turned their world upside down. The enemy was so disturbed by this message all the Apostles died a martyrdom death .
Those who came after them compromised the message and preached Jesus only without preaching the Kingdom too. I believe they were afraid and deceived, knowing the message brought on hardships bringing on toils, annoyances, perils;. to them.
Are leaders afraid to lose members of their congregations with this message that calls for more accountability and responsibility of the Believer ? Are the attacks from the enemy making many to back off the central message of Jesus. Luke 4:43 But Jesus said I must preach the Kingdom of God in other cities, for that's why I was sent.
While alive Philip understood he preached both in Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
While alive Paul understood and he did the same in Act 28:31 Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
The enemy knows he can't stop salvation because of the resurrection, so his main goal is for you not to share the SAME MESSAGE that the early church shared in obedience to what Christ preached and commanded his followers to do also in Luke 9:1-2 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 1 Corinth 4:20 says For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. Isn't this what Jesus and the Apostles displayed while on the earth ? Also I noticed Jesus never told them when to stop preaching this message. Matt 13:19 (Amp) While anyone is hearing the Word of the kingdom and does not grasp and comprehend it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. What that tells me is that the enemy doesn't like this message because of the disabling power towards him that's accompanied with it . I'm sure the evil spirits reported back to satan like this one found in Mark 1:24 "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!"
Oh taste and see that the Lord is good ! Get back under his Kingdom (government) rule in your life. Be re-aligned to him on HIS TERMS and the spirit of the king will guide you. You were made in God's image in likeness Gen 1:26. Now be not conformed to this worlds lower standards, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Repentance is necessary, obedience is mandatory and the results are, the standard is raised in you ! Seeking the Kingdom of God 1st lets God know you are ready for change !
In order to become an agent of change, you have to change 1st. Jesus came to earth with the government (Kingdom) on his shoulders Isa 9:6-7 and in Matt 4:17 his 1st proclamation was repent for the kingdom of heaven has arrived. He's basically saying I've become a Kingdom Carrier in the earth. The same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you. Stop suppressing it, repent & Seek 1st the Kingdom of God (Matt 6:33)
It takes a made up mind to seek the Kingdom of God the way the father intended in Matt 6:33. You've tried it all, now try it God's way on his terms and watch life transformation takes place just like it did in the 1st. God has you best interest at heart allow him to take 1st place again , but this time not with religious aerobics but with a submitted heart to the king. Repent.... The Holy Spirit in you is tired of being grieved. Eph 4:30
You cannot preach the Kingdom message and still operate in the religious system that's prevalent today, it's really that simple. Many don't know where to look for alternatives (BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING WITHIN THE SYSTEM) so they settle for what ever is coming from the pulpit. I truly understand how & why the early church met in homes to bring forth the doctrine of the Kingdom of God to all that would hear. The only alternative they had was RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
