The Kingdom of GOD is all powerful, embracing the entire Universe; it is all Just, all Holy, and is essentially a Kingdom of Love ! GOD planned us out of a heart of Love. Gen.1-1 In the beginning GOD, Elohim, the 3 in 1; the Father Omnipotent, the Fountain and source of all things; the Son, the Omniscient One, who sees all that is in the heart of the Father and as the Living Word speaks it forth, and the Holy Spirit, Omnipresent, who brings to pass everything spoken by GOD by His Power; thus we see that the whole of the Godhead are involved in the creation of the Heaven and the Earth and everything contained therein. Rev. 10-6. (in Gen.18, GOD in a theophany appeared to Abraham as 3 men; they were all called the LORD).
GOD also created billions of angels, rank upon rank, to be His servants, and to serve us also Heb.1-7,v14, Job 38-4/7. We are called to be a Royal Priesthood in this Kingdom. Ex.19-6 1 Pet.2-9. GOD’S eternal purpose was to have a family in His own image and likeness, (spirit, soul & body)
Gen.1-26/28 & v31. Unfortunately sin interrupted this wonderful plan, but GOD would not let us go, and at the highest cost, paid the full price for our uttermost salvation by giving His Only Begotten Son to become one of us and to die on the Cross in our stead. Nothing can stop GOD’S will.
There are many references to the Kingdom of God in Scripture. King David speaks of it in Psalm 45: 11–13). In the New Testament, Jesus and John the Baptist speak of it again, this time with urgency “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matt. 3: 2; Mark 1: 15).

WHY WE SHOULD BE READY FOR ACTION.!
The Bible is GOD speaking to us. We listen and receive it’s message, and by belief, faith, repentance and loving obedience, inherit an everlasting life of love, joy, peace and glory in the presence of a Loving, All Wise, Almighty, Eternal GOD, or we neglect so great Salvation, and risk eternal separation from a Loving Father, or far worse we
deliberately choose the way of disobedience, an evil life following Satan’s wicked ways, and spend eternity with him and all his wicked spirits in the lake of fire.
This is putting it bluntly; what an awful choice everyone that hears the gospel of Christ has to make! But dare we say otherwise? As we approach the certain end of this age, what manner of persons ought we to be In all godliness and sanctified living, and how ready should we be to share our faith with our neighbour, all with whom we come in to contact; and how we should pray for and help all missionaries who take the gospel to the unsaved.
This year 2020 is a year nearer the Lord’ coming, and we should be expecting GOD to do great things, as He foretold for the “last days” (of this age). But whom will He do them through? Are we not His Body here on Earth?
Are we not HIs voice? Are we not His hands and feet?
As we see Satan stirred up knowing his days are short, and inciting more and more murder, violence, immorality and downright iniquity, we are GOD’S Lights in this increasingly evil world, and the time has come for us to show our light, to speak up bravely in the face of those who choose wickedness, to respond in faith to the call of GOD TO WORK MIRACLES, RAISE THE DEAD, OPEN THE EYES OF THE BLIND, THE EARS OF THE DEAK, THE LIPS OF THE DUMB, TO MAKE THE CRIPPLES TO JUMP FOR JOY, TO BE THE OVERCOMERS THAT GOD WANTS US TO BE !!!.
AS JESUS said in Mark 16-17 “These shall follow them that believe. In My Name they shall cast out demons, they Shall speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall by no means Hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” `
Acts 1-8 “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem (in your local town), and in all Judea and Samaria (in our own country) and to the ends of the Earth”.
Let us pray to be bold, faithful witnesses for Him, filled with His Spirit, and prepared for GOD to work through us!
