The Kingdom

 

THE KINGDOM CAMPAIGN

Herein is a spiritual law, “The Kingdom advances at the rate Evil is destroyed.” Thus the Son of God appeared in order destroy the works of the devil. That empire had to fall. Jesus could not come in the form of God to establish and instigate the system of the Kingdom. No, Jesus would have to come fully as a human in order to overcome that which the first human had failed to do. Adam was not God therefore, Jesus would have to become man.

To establish a Kingdom, there has to be a strategy. Thus, the first thing that would be necessary in order to destroy the work of the evil one, and establish God’s Kingdom would be to create a system that can stop the legal access Satan and his minions have to humanity. This system would have to so fully cover sin in man that mankind could actually become pure, spotless and white as snow. In fact they could become so pure it would be as if that person never sinned.

Because an individual commits sin, repentance must be on an individual basis alone. The repentance from dead works could not be a form of collective salvation decided by the consensus of the masses. Sin began within an individual and it would have to be eradicated by an individual. After all that is where the dead works of sin begin - inside us. While we may have been tempted by elements on the outside, we gave in to it on the inside.

Thus the crucifixion campaign must precede the Kingdom campaign. This would provide the system or soil that the Kingdom campaign could take root in, and grow to become so large it could provide for everyone who chose to live within its parameters (Matthew 13:32). If Jesus was, as John states, “the Word” and what Jesus taught was His Word, then the Kingdom is also His Word and it can be sown in many types of soil and bring in a harvest of 30, 60, or a 100 fold. Of course there are those whose soil is not prepared, for many different reasons, and they allow the seed of the Kingdom to be stolen, choked out, or die. But, repentance allows our soil to be prepared for the seed of the Kingdom to flourish.

One of the greatest things about repentance is that it removes everything one has in common with Satan. Therefore, it removes the legal right of Satan to attack you as well as his legal right to accuse you before the Father. This is a foundational and elementary principle of the Kingdom (Hebrews 6:1-3). It is why the Kingdom must begin within you, which is where repentance begins. Thus the necessity of the individual having godly sorrow over their sin becomes very important (2 Corinthians 7:10). It creates deep soil, which qualifies you to not only be a carrier, but a doer of the Kingdom rather than just one who talks about it.

As you know, Jesus not only talked about the Kingdom, He designed and became the system whereby the Kingdom could reside within us, and empower us to overcome the works of the evil one on a personal basis.

Truly, the wisdom of God is beyond that of mankind.
