The Kingdom of Heaven The Kingdom of God
“But seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all…things shall be added to you.” —Y’shua Messiah (Jesus the Christ) at Matthew 6:33 A kingdom, by definition, is a government system:
“The territory subject to a king; an undivided territory under the dominion
of a king or monarch. The Government or Kingdom of Heaven (or the Kingdom of
Love) is the universal dominion of YeHoVaH
God.” It is not a democracy. (Consider
1 Chronicles 29:11; Psalms 145:11.) The kingdom of the satan (Matthew 12:26; Luke 11:18)
is diametrically opposed to the Kingdom of Heaven (or the Kingdom of
Love). Although YeHoVaH God is quite
fond of the authentic United States of America’s Constitutional Republic, in
a real sense, the Kingdom of Heaven is diametrically opposed to typical
worldly government systems. “Father
God has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the
Kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins (Colossians
1:13-14).” And since we have been delivered out of the
“normal” sin-cursed world government system, we must let Father God, through
the Holy Spirit and His word, teach and train us in His government's
steadfast principles (His ways, instruction, laws), which are very, very
different, even from “normal physical laws.” For example, Y’shua (Jesus) and
Peter walked on water (Matt. 14:22-33). This is a large, rich subject! Enjoy the following

Spirit is prompting you to sow financial seed, please proceed HERE “For His divine power has [already] given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness... And by that same mighty power, He has
given to us exceeding
great and precious promises; that by these [promises] you all might be
partakers of the Divine nature...” (2 Peter 1:3-4) There are 750 promises in the New
Testament alone. Link
to the list of 250
separate benefits of the 750 New Testament promises The Key
That Unlocks all promises “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and
become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven...” (Jesus at Matt. 18:3-5) The benefits of God’s promises are conditional. “This gospel unveils a continual revelation of
God’s righteousness … it moves us from receiving life through faith to living
by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: ‘We are right with
God through life-giving faith’ …Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by
[uttering] the word of God!” (Romans 1:17; 10:17). Understand our need to appropriate His
promises. “If you love me [Jesus], keep My commandments.” (John 14:15; 1 John 5:2-3; 2 John 1:6) We, humans, were designed
for and therefore have a true inner desire for moral government. Understand
more about moral
government And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and
[I pray God] your whole spirit
and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ” (1 Thess. 5:23). See the tri-unity
of humans. “This
Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished
from start to finish by faith.
As the Scriptures say, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Habakkuk 2:4) “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” (Hebrews
3:19) See Doubt and Unbelief
concerning God’s Word “Beloved,
I pray above all things that
you may prosper and be in health,
even as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2) “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood
[ourselves; peoples], but against unseen principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against unseen spiritual wickedness in
high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) See the
reality of evil,
Satan, or the devil “Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication [prayer as from neediness] with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4:6) See The Art of Prayer The
Bible plainly reveals that rebels in everlasting Hell will be an eternal
monument of God's wrath toward shortcoming
continued—sin , in order to
cause coming generations to conform to the highest good of their own being
and of the universe. Understand the Kingdom of God’s
doctrine of sin “This
covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors “And of Jesus’s fullness
we have all received, and grace
for grace.” (John 1:16) Understand
God’s grace In Psalm 25:14, David says, “The LORD is a friend to all who reverently fear Him.
He teaches them His covenant."
Understand scriptural
covenant “This
covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors Isaiah 9:6 promised this about Messiah (Jesus): “Unto us a child is
born, unto us a son is given. And the government shall rest upon his shoulder… an ever expanding, peaceful, never ending,
fair, and just…kingdom.” Understand
more about human government here. “…For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged [by the
Lord]. But when we are judged, we are chastened [taught] by the Lord, that we
may not be condemned with the world.” (1 Corinthians 11:31-32) “…Remember, each
of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of Messiah (Christ).”
(Romans 2:1-16; 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10-11) Understand the Seven Judgments in Scripture – currently under construction “…The eternal
purpose which He [God] purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Ephesians
3:11). “…Rightly dividing the
word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) |
