MESSAGE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS, THE SERVANT
Mark 1 v. 14,15 (NLT) *part 2*
Emphasis on v. 15
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
15 "The time promised by God has come at last!" he announced. "The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"
----
Do you know that our King reigns? Are you living in that very important fact or are you still waiting? And if you're waiting, (as Gwen Stefani would sing) what are you waiting for?
Jesus announced that the time that God promised had come. So we should not be living like Old Testament times. We should be living a life that has learned from their examples; mistakes and triumphs. Growing stronger every day in Christ to stand firm against all that comes our way.
Living in the Kingdom, is living in honor of our King Jesus Christ. He gave us clear instructions. And thank God, that what we don't get or know; we can go to the Holy Spirit to reveal what we need to know.
We all need to determine to live a life that is of God's Will, not our own. God's Will. As born-again Christians, we've entered into His Kingdom and need to not only live by His authority, but expect all the promises that come from it.
All our rewards will not be revealed on this earth; Why would you want them here in a place that is fading any way? Isn't it awesome to have so much to look forward to eternal; even after death?
-LIVE THE LIFE NOW THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING TO LIVE IN HEAVEN.
Why wait? God doesn't tell us to wait until Heaven, He commands us to live in the Kingdom NOW!

Prayer: LORD, I pray that the message of Your Kingdom, truly infiltrates our hearts and changes our thoughts, decisions and actions. LORD, I pray that we each learn how to acknowledge You in all our ways, so that we don't fall for the foolishness that is growing around us. Let Your message spread rapidly among us and be honored. You are so faithful LORD. You will strengthen and protect us from the evil one, delivering us from wicked and evil people, for not every one has or will have faith. You deliver us from each wicked and evil agenda that is not according to Your Will. LORD please make plain among us, what may seem ok- but is truly wickedness in Your sight. For I don't want to grow content with what You have commanded me not to accept because it is not of You. I am open to growing more bolder for You and Your Kingdom; always operating in Your love and in accordance of Your Will. I have confidence in You LORD. May You continue to direct our hearts into Your love and Christ's perseverance each and every day. Amen. (2 Thessalonians 3)
