    Pressing into the Kingdom

    When we PLEASE God with a faith that is undivided..like a child...then God translates us into the kingdom of His dear Son. Read the bible. Not a historic belief...but a faith that moves mountains NOW! Enter NOW. Salvation is NOW. The KOG is NOW. God receives faith. When He does He translates...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Entering into what? We have the same test that the Israelites had. The gospel was also preached to them. Our gospel is about salvation FROM sin and into an intimate walk with God...Christ as our Mediator. We are failing the same way as they were. By unbelief we think it impossible to enter...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    If you read the bible you will see that the kingdom costs everything to enter into. If you only read what I say, without reading the bible for yourself, then you will think that those who taught you are right. But all you have to do is read the bible to see that I'm speaking the truth ...and...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Seeking by faith is not illegal. What is illegal is to claim to be in the kingdom when you are not. God decides who enters in. Naming and claiming are presumptuous sins.

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    The opposite is true. I am encouraging people to press into the kingdom. I did a post on that recently. If people are unable to press into the kingdom realm then it is better to admit that and remain humble, fearing the Lord. Acknowledging His ways being higher than our wisdom, knowledge and...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    I think it's both. People are not interested because it seems impossible. It takes real faith. And there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of what the kingdom of God is. It must be sought for in the right way...by faith.

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    That's right. The error of our ways....as in..."there is a way that seems right to a man"... is to think that we can rest on just a first step in a race...that being born again into the family of God (Spiritual Israel) is all that God expects of us. We are the SAME as the Israelites in the...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Why aren't more people interested in the pressing into the kingdom? How can people miss the zeal of Paul to do that very thing? How can people miss the point of the gospel? When we are taught that we are already rich and in need of nothing...that we already have as much as we are going to...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    ...and don't forget Luther being anti-Semite. People will overlook an obvious bad character if it suits their own agenda. I think for some people nice sounding words TRUMP good character. :ummm:

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Not the same. Read the parable of the good figs and bad figs. All are put in the mouth (in Christ) ....but half are spit back out. Read about Laodicia. Laodicea is the church in our time. Notice how they are deceived into thinking they are something...but it is superficial. They are in...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    A religious opinion places you in a favourable light in order to name and claim all the benefits of the bible while ignoring ALL the warnings of the bible. Because this is artificial...there is NO repentance possible nor any fear of the Lord. I rest my case. If we believe INTO Christ. A whole...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Smoke-srceening. And strawman-ing. Of course people do what they think is right. Do people do works that they don't believe in? The premise is that people do things based on a ideological belief system. Only religious people do that. And you are arguing in favour of human beliefs over faith...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    When we have faith in Christ....REAL faith...a faith that God acknowledges and that He is pleased with...THEN we are translated into the kingdom realm. From there we walk in the faith OF Christ...being where He is, walking in His life (blood), walking in His love...walking in His light. His...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Christ followers. You are a Luther follower. Don't confuse the two. Luther is NOT an apostle. He is a bringer of great delusion. ....to the degree that his doctrine immunizes people so that they are unable to endure sound doctrine. I post many more times the bible verses than those who use the...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Who are you to judge? Your own blindness causes you to lash out at others who are clearly far ahead of you in understanding. God gives grace to the humble...so then you have not experienced anything other than the free samples. A shallow soil gets offended...because it has no depth and is easily...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Not so....read James. Human righteousness can be imputed by both faith and works. Where faith ONLY comes to play is into the kingdom walk. No one can do works to enter into the kingdom realm of the Spirit. That is ONLY possible by faith. And that is what Paul was talking about. He ONLY cared...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    The proper way to receive the gospel of the kingdom is to marvel at it like a child. Not to respond with a "grown-up" skepticism that negates the wonders of God. The higher walk? Yes...we marvel that God can do that with us weak humans. Praise God for His goodness, mercy and grace. Rather, so...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    This is not the case. God can impute righteousness on anyone....even non Christians and non-Jews like Abraham. What is ONLY available for those who have entered into the kingdom realm of the Spirit is to be COVERED by God's righteousness...to walk in His righteousness...His holiness, His power...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    I have ceased to look for any logic in some of the corrosive posts here...unless it is there to defend a superficial name-it claim-it religious agenda that is self-aggrandizing. The part of some that they are defending is what Paul sought to crucify in order to "win Christ." God makes no...
