Christ
Jesus is the greatest radical who ever lived.
He is God incarnate;
God in flesh.
By the greatest act of
love the world has ever seen
He endured the cross of
Calvary,
To purchase with His
own blood, Forgiveness of sin for those who believe.
In doing so He
instituted His Covenant, that is not of this world.
It can only be lived
out by the Spirit of God living in those who believe.
His standard of
morality and behavior is that of Heaven:
'Be
holy because I am holy.'
[Leviticus
11:44,45; 19:2;20:7; 1 Peter 1:16]
'Be
prefect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.'
(Matthew
5:48)
Christ
Jesus taught His disciples to pray. The first portion was as follows:
Our
Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name.
Your
Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
(Matthew
6:9)
Realize
this, this prayer calls for the dissolution
Of the kingdom(s) of
this world.
When the Kingdom of
Christ comes externally to earth,
As Scripture declares
it will,
And His will is done on
earth as in Heaven,
The kingdom of this
world, the kingdom of Satan,
The kingdom that
comprises every nation on earth, is done away with.
'The
kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord
And
of His Christ,
And
He will reign for ever and ever.' (Revelation 11:15)
At the return of
Christ Jesus, the kingdom, singular, of this world
Comprised of ever
nation on earth, the kingdom of Satan,
Is done away with,
never to rise again;
And the Kingdom of God
is established on earth for a thousand years.
At
the end of the thousand years,
This earth is done away
with
And God creates a New
Heaven and a New Earth that lasts FOREVER:
Then
I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth,
For
the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
And
there was no longer any sea. (Revelation 21:1)
If you belong to
Christ, you need to realize what you are praying,
When you pray as Christ
commanded.
You are praying the
most radical prayer that could be prayed.
In doing so, you are
saying that you are part of the Kingdom of God;
It lives within you
(Luke 17:21);
That is in direct,
spiritual opposition to the kingdom of this world.
You are praying for the
extinction of the kingdom of this world
And all that it
entails;
And your prayer will be
answered, because Scripture has foretold that it will.
As
a Christian you are in direct spiritual opposition
To the kingdom of this
world,
Because you agree with
Christ Jesus, that what it does is evil.
You are willing to be
hated, as the world hated Christ Jesus,
And hates Him to this
day;
To see His Kingdom come
and His will be done on earth as in Heaven.
You become as radical
as Christ Jesus when you belong to Him
And pray as He
commanded.
You are also saying
that it is your fervent desire
To be holy as He is
holy; to be perfect as He is perfect;
Which can only be
accomplished by Christ living in and through you.
It is Christ in you,
your Hope of Glory. (Colossians 1:27)
You
agree with the apostle Paul:
That you have been
crucified to this world with Christ
And you no longer live
but it is Christ who lives in you.
This life that you now
live you live by faith in the Son of God
And His power at work
in you.
You have set your heart
on things above,
Your life is hidden
with Christ in God,
You clothe yourself
with the garments of Christ,
And let His Word dwell
richly in you.
You
are saying and realizing that the Kingdom of God resides in you;
The Kingdom that is in
direct, spiritual opposition
To the kingdom of this
world.
From
the days of John the baptist until the present time
The
Kingdom of Heaven [which resides
in those who belong to Christ]
Has
endured violent assault
[Because
it is in direct, spiritual opposition to the kingdom of this world],
And
violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize]--
A
share in the Heavenly Kingdom is sought for
With
most ardent zeal and intense exertion. (Matthew 11:12 AMP)
There
are no passive Christians. None!
They have found the
Pearl of great price [Christ] and sold ALL for it!
They found the Treasure
found in the field, sold ALL, and bought it.
They
have OVERCOME (conquered) him [Satan,
the ruler of this world]
By
means of the blood of the Lamb and the utterance of their testimony,
For
they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death--
Holding
their lives cheap till they had to die [for their witnessing].
(Revelation
12:11 AMP)
Father, give us Your
heart,
Your mind, Your will,
Your emotions, Your Spirit,
That we might stand
with You and for You today by the power of Your Spirit.
You have given us Your
Glory that it might be revealed to the world;
That the world might
know that Christ Jesus was sent by You. (John 17)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
