Mat12, 22-28, “Then one was brought to Him (Jesus) who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.” But when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” But when Jesus knew their thoughts (gifts of the word of knowledge and wisdom) He said, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. And if satan casts out satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges but, if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
Many times we are in a spiritual battle and we have prayed for this or this to happen. On and on we pray and nothing seems to happen. Many say that you have to stand and watch what happens and for goodness sakes don’t pray anymore. Had anyone tell you to just stand on the promise of God? And you listened to the voices and still nothing had happened and it only got worse and worse. I guarantee you if you don’t pray the Kingdom of God to come and His will to be done you will have big time troubles. We need to understand what God’s words really mean.
1st Corn 4:20, “For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in Power.
John the Baptist kept saying, “The Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is at hand”. Mat 3, 2,”Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Prepare the way of the Lord.” This message John preached was one message and one message only that THE KINGDOM IS NEAR.” PREACHING THE GOSPEL MEANS PREACHING THE Kingdom is here today with Power!
John knew that Jesus was here for he knew in the Spirit Jesus was walking the earth. “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire. John baptized Jesus and the heavens were opened to Him and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting up on Him.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF THE KINGDOM?
The Kingdom of God had invaded the kingdom of darkness. Jesus told us the signs of the Kingdom were healing the sick, casting out demons, the blind receiving their sight, the lame walking, the lepers cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Jesus said, “Go tell John the things which you hear and see that the Kingdom of God has invaded the kingdom of darkness.
Healing is a direct frontal attack against evils of sickness.
Deliverance is a direct frontal attack against demons that cause you to be bound to drugs, disease, drink, sexual sins and cancer.
Repentance is a direct frontal attack against the sins in your life. Jesus said the Kingdom is in this age and in the age to come, Mat 12, 32.
Jesus was speaking the Kingdom is now and is of the future. He preached the Kingdom of God is at hand right now. The 5,000 were fed because the Power came from heaven. This showed the Kingdom was right now. Jesus went about preaching good news. He said, “Good news everybody the Kingdom at hand.” He spoke, “Your sins are taken away, your body is healed, those bondages are gone and the demons are removed.”
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
He has anointed me to preach good tidings to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. Here’s an example of a man named Bill in South Dakota who had the disease of French polio. Good news Bill there’s healing for you. The Kingdom had not come to him until we went and spoke good news, “There is healing in the name of Jesus! Good news Bill, God Kingdom at hand.” The power of God came to Bill that day and he was healed from French polio. The power of God can’t be explained away and Bill felt the anointing of power that day. When these things happen people turn to Jesus. This was a direct frontal attack against the dreaded disease of French polio. Good news Bill, “The Kingdom of God came to you!” The power of God cannot be explained as Bill felt His touch. This was a direct frontal attack against the disease of French polio.
Is 45, 11, “And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.”
The Lord’s Prayer is a Command for God’s presence.
Our Father in heaven Hallowed be Your name. Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Many times people pray this prayer in a difficult situation. Jesus didn’t give this as a prayer to memorize and quote when in trouble. Jesus said, “THY KINGDOM COME” THIS WORD IN GREEK MEANS A COMMAND, FOR IT’S NOT A LAID BACK SITUATION. SIMPLY PUT THIS MEANS, “Okay God let this happen now.” God says again, “And concerning the work of My hands you Command Me.”
Jesus says, “The Kingdom is here. Father God your will is to already been done here on earth. Think we need to get with it!
COMMAND IS WARFARE PRAYING!...It’s a bold attack of calling upon God and executing Authority. Calling on God taping into His Authority and then Commanding His will to be done, already been done (past tense) here on this earth. God I have a right to command and let’s get it done now!
DECLARE YOUR SITUATION should have been done a long time ago. God do it now! What should have happened a year ago or last month or a day ago is going to happen now!
Command praying, “YOUR KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE.
A friend’s sister Ann started caring for her great uncle who was in his late 70’s. He was completely helpless and very frail. The uncle had several people who worked for him full time. Not only were they not working to help him but they also were stealing his money out of his billfold over 900 dollars a month. They were hired to feed him and make sure he was properly taken care of in all details. He was not being looked after and cared for. When Ann went to take care of the great uncle she ran into all of these things which had been caused by the devils hand. Ann called and said she was under heavy attack from the devils and would we pray. I immediately commanded “Thy Kingdom come thy will be done” for Ann’s great uncle and asked God to move and correct this ungodly situation. This is Power praying asking for God’s will be done. God get busy now and do something. I asked God to show His power and rule on earth. God get active! Father perform Your rule there right now. Rule of God be there and do what should have already been done!
Call into existence what has already been declared.
Jesus said, “ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”
MAKE THIS THING YOU HAVE DECLARED IN THE PAST HAPPEN NOW. It’s past time for this to be! THY WILL BE DONE. God’s will for Ann’s great uncle should have been done a long time ago. God, you have declared this in your word about stealing and taking care of the elderly. Will of God be done in this situation now. BE DONE….which means Father do your will here and now….God be done. What you have declared as Your will let’s see it here and now!
Jesus died on the cross for the perfect will of His Father so that satan will be broken. Do you know anybody sick for a long time? Ask yourself has the Will of God been done for them? This woman had been sick for 30 years and I came along and applied the Will of God for her. “He healed them all.” His Kingdom rule manifested so she is out from under the bondage of the devils. Many, many everywhere are under the bondages of the devil. They need someone who comes to them and says, ‘WILL OF GOD, BE DONE HERE. IT’S LASTEST TO LONG. THIS SICKNESS AND DISEASE LEAVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO.”
THIS IS COMMAND AND AUTHORITY!
Saying, “Thank you Father your Kingdom has come. Healing in Jesus name! Deliverance in Jesus name!! Spirit of infirmity leave in Jesus name!
Kingdom Thinking! Kingdom praying! Kingdom attack against the enemy! Remember the Kingdom is within you! This means you have submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ who is the King. And the Kingdom of God is everywhere there are people who have submitted to Jesus being obedient to do whatever He asks you to do. Seeing sick people healed with signs and wonders following. This is signs of the Kingdom! Jesus told us to look around the Kingdom of God is everywhere there are people who have submitted to Me. Being obedient to do what He asks you to do, seeing sick people healed with signs and wonders following. This is signs of the Kingdom! Jesus spoke, “The Kingdom is everywhere and from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.” This means the Kingdom of God is taken by violence and violent men are capturing it and this has been going on since John’s days. God’s Kingdom charges ahead by Great Power of the Anointing.
KINGDOM WORK
Kingdom work is not for nominal Christians and laid back people. Kingdom work is for violent people who get violent against the devils. , Jesus spoke, “I come to bring peace on the earth but it comes because of warfare!” I tell you if you don’t war you’ll never see the kingdom. Kingdom living is violent living. There has always been a conflict between the Kingdom of light and the devil’s kingdom of darkness.
Jesus came to start a war!
Immediately when Jesus came the devil knew. John baptized Him heard what God had spoken to Him while the Spirit descended on Him. Soon Jesus was led to the wilderness and then warfare started. The devil has done everything he could do to whip Jesus. Satan met Him with demons, met Him with sickness, poverty and death…..Warfare!!
Jesus went on the attack. Every time He won a battle the devil always counterattacked. It was warfare from day one of Jesus appearance on the earth.
JESUS DIDN’T COME TO START A SOCIAL CLUB, HAVE CHICKEN DINNERS, PLAY BINGO NOR HAVE A LUKE WARM FALLING AWAY GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MEET TOGETHER ON THE DAY OF WORSHIP AND PAT EACH OTHER ON THE BACK AND MAKE EACH OTHER FEEL OH SO GOOD. JESUS CAME TO START A WAR!!
Jesus is the King of Glory who is the son of David. David was a warrior King and with His lineage made Jesus THE WARRIOR KING. When you come to really know this King of Kings you joined an Army of Warriors. The Kingdom of God will take the kingdom of the devil by force. You don’t make sweet suggestions to the devil. You come to slap him down in Jesus name beat him up and stomp him under your feet taking by force what belongs to him and giving it back to the Warrior King. This is the Kingdom of God taking it by violence…spiritual violence against the spiritual darkness. If you are going to see God’s Kingdom you have to fight!
Starting in God’s boot camp and then soon comes the anointing. Then you become a warrior for God which includes casting out demons. This all proved the Kingdom was here. Mat 12, 28 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God surely the Kingdom of God has come to you.”
Jesus was strong and He bound the second strongest one and plundered his house for v29 says, “Or else how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man.” You take away what the devil has taken and then the Blessings come back to the person. Jesus told us He has given us Power with using His authority over the enemy.
The Kingdom is within you and it’s now. The question I’m asking you is have you given everything up for the Kingdom to use you? Expect plenty of warfare against the devils. It will take lots of prayer and fasting for His team.
