We seek to establish the rule and reign of Jesus our ruling king throughout our churches, homes, schools and workplaces.

It is by His empowerment and authority that we are able to advance the kingdom of God one step at a time through a relationship of prayer, obedience and faith. We have been commissioned, called out and anointed by His Holy Spirit to preach the gospel of the kingdom, co-laboring with all of heaven to bring about changes in our minds and hearts that conform us to the fullness of Christ. Through intimacy with God, we must realize the heart of the Father for this generation.

Jesus taught us that He was about His Father’s business; so we also must be about our Father’s business. We must accept that we are representatives of His invisible kingdom which needs our faith to arise. We must demonstrate that we are His empowered church throughout the earth.

Jesus certainly expected that His ministry would transform the people and cities He visited and taught in through His revealing the power of His Father’s mighty kingdom. In fact, He was alarmed when they refused to repent and believe what they had just seen. God has a plan, that as we call on Him to come and reveal His love and presence in our lives, that people everywhere would repent upon seeing His mighty hand being revealed in great power through miracles, signs and wonders.

If we want to see revival in our cities and lives transformed, we must not limit God by our lack of faith or powerless religion. The Power of God reveals His invisible kingdom and exposes our frailty and the need for more of His rule and reign in our lives. Jesus experienced a relationship with His father and invited us to pursue that same face-to-face, moment-by-moment walk of faith. It is the cry of our hearts to experience that same relationship with our heavenly Father everyday! We must expect that as we cry out for more of Him, His purpose and plans will be fulfilled within us, accomplishing His original plans to fill all the earth with His glory. Without miracles, signs, wonders and His supernatural kingdom there can be no true transformation.

Not only do miracles stir the hearts of men to give glory to God, miracles give Him glory on their own.

“But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.” Matt 9:8

When we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit He leads us into all knowledge and wisdom. He anoints our ministries through agency and indwelling and demonstrates His natural realm, the supernatural. In fact, Jesus gave us the keys to the kingdom of heaven and invited us to co-labor with Him. In order to accomplish His will in our lives and ministries, we must demonstrate our hunger for His life changing power and pursue spiritual gifts to fulfill His command. The Holy Spirit converts us, gives us life, gifts and reminds us of what Jesus said and is saying to His people and church today. He clothes us with power and promised that we would do even greater works than He accomplished, as He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

People still must see to believe.

As we minister to one-another, it is not only by hearing but also by seeing the miracles of God’s power that cause hearts to repent and conform to His plan of salvation. It’s the personal encounter with His miraculous character and His supernatural interventions that invite us to conform our minds and lives to the full measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. The Letter kills, but the Spirit heals, gives life, and produces fruit.

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1

We must pursue Him . . .
We must be God seekers . . .
We must be willing to leave our comfort zone and be willing to follow His Spirit, move when He moves and go where He goes.

If we see God moving somewhere other than where we are at, we should follow His spirit. If we see God using someone else more than us, we should humbly go to them and ask them to pray for us to receive a greater increase, advancing the kingdom in and through us.

“Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership” 1 Timothy 4:14

Our goal is to live in the moment, seeking a face to face encounter, and relationship with Jesus our king. The word must go forth with power; power is the realm of the Spirit; a powerless word is the letter of the word void of His power. It is obedience and faith that move us by compassion to seek out the ones that He has called to salvation and restoration. We release kingdom power through our prayers and declarations.

Jesus told us to receive the kingdom of God, we must have faith like a child. Jesus told his disciples that we would do greater works than He did, and that the Holy Spirit would be with us, but soon He would be IN us:

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16,17

As Christians, we are called to battle and we serve in the “trenches” not by our own will or power do we recover ground or territory but by the authority and commands that Jesus gave us.

“. . . Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:15-18

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5

As we advance the kingdom of God, the Father says amen by confirming His word with His power. Healing, deliverance, transformed hearts and lives, these are the fruits of our labor and evidence that the kingdom of God is present in and throughout our lives and ministry. As our faith arises and we become the people and citizens of His heavenly kingdom, our cities and nations become the kingdoms of our God.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

Paul warned the early Corinthian church not to be enticed by a gospel lacking power, but rather to be imitators of his ministry. To rely on the Father’s kingdom and His power and not by gathering many teachers and instructors.

“And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.” Acts 4:29,30

We get to represent Jesus in our lives throughout our cities, nations and co-labor with the Father to see his kingdom established “on earth as it is in heaven”. As we re-present Jesus’ life and ministry, we release His life changing power and miracles to a dying world by taking dominion and power away from the kingdom of darkness. Jesus demonstrated the ultimate example of ministry by proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom with convincing miracles, signs and wonders.

“If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” John 10:37,38

Our faith ought to produce works of power by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus never separated teaching from demonstrating the works of faith.

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” John 14:10

Nicodemus said “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him” John 3:2

We are the called and led by the Holy Spirit and it is the Spirit that confirms God’s word in our ministry by shining the light of His glorious gospel into this present darkness.

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Matt 9:35

Jesus declared: “. . . Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. . . .” John 4:48

Those who restrict their ministry to mere words limit God and the gifts of the Holy Spirit and are in danger of quenching the Holy Spirit. We risk becoming puffed up with pride by increasing knowledge without submitting to Christ’s authority and power. His character should be evident in us, when we “walk in the light” and “walk as He walked”.

And Jesus also said:

“. . .I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. . .” John 17:23

Jesus told us to receive the kingdom of God, we must have faith like a child. The kingdom is now! Pray for it, seek it first and receive it as a child. Jesus came to restore sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and give liberty to those who are in bondage by removing us from our darkness into His glorious kingdom of light. He came to restore our minds from spiritual amnesia and clothe us in power. Religion would reduce us to mere observers in the clash of two kingdoms but Jesus intended His disciples to rise up in faith, take an offensive stance and not a defensive position to regain lost territory to establish His kingdom through relationship, faith and prayer.

We are to prevail through Him over every principality and stronghold. Jesus promised that not even “the gates of hell” would prevail against His empowered church. The Holy Spirit has released us from the chains of spiritual darkness, restoring purpose and our identity that was stolen from us by sin so long ago. We are now victorious through Christ to continue His battle for righteousness and peace.

The invasion of God into impossible situations comes through people who have entered the kingdom and through faith have learned to release His power, changing the impossible into the possible.

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
