The Kingdom Knows No Limitations

"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Mathew 4:17)

"Shariah (Islamic law as dictated by the Koran) governs all aspects of life, from the personal practice of the faith to how you relate to your family to how you relate to your business partners, to your community ... all the way up to how the world is run, and it is all one seamless program.  This quote is from the article which I sent to you earlier.  Even though it is a description of Islam, it is exactly the theology of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom "of our Lord and of His Christ." 

There is no area outside the reign of Jesus Christ.  John 3:16 says that "God...loved the world...."  John 3:16 is not just about getting saved.  It reveals that the Living Triune God loves the world, i.e., "the earth...and the fullness thereof...."  The Muslims simply came along centuries later to propagate the moon god religion and counterfeit Kingdom principles.  No wonder Islam is advancing around the world.  The radicals actually believe their "word."  America and Western Europe particularly are headed in this direction.

You and I must have the same mentality concerning the Word of God.  We will need the continual saturation of the "God-Breathed" Word if we are to live a victorious life of total commitment and obedience to Jesus Christ.  The only plumb line the Blessed Trinity will drop in our daily life and the life of the nation will continue to be the "God-Breathed" Word, the same Word which a Godless Supreme Court took out of the state school system 45 years ago.  "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God," and I might say, "Your life and my life and the life of nations are 'framed by the [the same] word of God." 

If your dependency on Kingdom theology and living comes only from apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastor/teachers, written, in conferences, or showcased in the media, then you are in a most precarious place.  If, however, you and I say with the psalmist, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you," then we will see that the Kingdom of Heaven/God "is all one seamless program"---------------------- and we will live and govern our lives accordingly.

Father, in Jesus' Name, show me the All-encompassing Kingdom."  Amen.
