The churches are doing a great job in the area of salvation after the many performances done in the services each Sunday. Most, moved by emotions, decide to change their way of life and accept Jesus into their hearts, and that’s great. But you remember the old saying, “The same thing it took, to get your baby, it’s going to take the same thing, to keep her”? That’s what’s happening.
Now our praise teams are not enough. We need paid entertainers and big names in our pulpits. I could go on but I won’t. I said all of that to say, if you drew them in that way, you’ll have to deal with the appetite you created. Most people, if they’re honest, come to church to be entertained, pumped and primed, shed some tears only to return home the same way they left.
Is anyone else out here looking and waiting for the day, when people come to church in wheelchairs and leave the chair there? Why? Because they walked out! How about those who enter in, bodies in pain from various diseases — yes, those very ones that Jesus has already paid for with the stripes on His back and healed us of: them! People, I’m still waiting for that day to be a part of when we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. That is a sign that proves that another government (Our Kingdom) is present and functioning the way God intended.
Raise your hand if you have heard or if it was you who said, “I’m suffering for Jesus”, while or when you were sick? Here is my response to that. “Why For”? During a conversation one day, it was said to me that everyone sick will not be healed. My response to them was and to you today is, “Why wouldn’t Jesus heal you”? There was complete silence. We could have had a moment of prayer, silence. I continued to say, “if the manifestation or healing doesn’t happen, it’s not because Jesus didn’t do His part; we didn’t do our part, believe.” Yeah, I know we say we believe, walking around saying scriptures and don’t have a clue. I’m not talking about everyone, I’m talking about most.
The enemy no longer cares that you know the bible. He cares if you know and apply the Bible. And that’s why our Constitution says, when we hear information about the Kingdom, Satan himself comes to steal it from you. He DOES NOT, want you to learn about the Kingdom of God.
While Jesus was here, He consistently said, the Kingdom of God is like… and oh ye of little faith. I’m not only telling you, I’m also showing you what the Kingdom should look like. We are supposed to be declaring our Constitution and then exemplifying it! Oh, wait a minute, how can we be an example to something we have no clue of? We can’t know, show or teach what we don’t know ourselves.
This is why our big brother Jesus told us to, “Seek first the Kingdom”. Hello, looking for the Kingdom y’all. What He was saying to us was we need to fully understand how the government of Heaven is supposed to function. What’s going on in the Kingdom of God? I can tell you there is no sickness there. All the needs are met because there is commonwealth. Er body is rich (I know ‘er’ is not a word). We’re not doing any fighting, because we have beings that fight for us. I know most of you thought that all of this happens when you die and you get to heaven. Well, good news! You can have it here and now. God is trying to get heaven (His Kingdom) to us. Got Kingdom Life?
