The Kingdom Of God Is For Children Only

I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like children,

You will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child

Is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.

(Matthew 18:2-5)

Jesus said:

Let the little children come to me,

And do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these. (Matthew 19:14)

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,

That we should be called children of God! (1 John 3:1)

Every person is in fact, a child in comparison

To the all knowing, all seeing, all powerful, present everywhere,

Self-existent, God of Creation.

Children trust their fathers and are completely dependent upon them.

They love and idolize their fathers; they live to please them.

They rest in the assurance of their father's love.

They love to be in the presence of their father more than anything else;

They seek the approval of their father in all they do.

They allow their father to guide, direct and teach them.

This requirement of child likeness, as access to the Kingdom of God,

Has been an insurmountable barrier for many in every age.

It will be a insurmountable barrier for many in this day.

The Kingdom of God was made for children, by God, who is Love.

The River of God that runs through the middle of the City of God

Is a River of delights [Psalm 36:8];

It is delightful for children in the here and now as well as the by and by.

A predominant characteristic of children is their desire to play;

That is to explore this new world they find themselves in.

A defining characteristic of a good father

Is his desire to play with and enjoy his children;

Nurturing them in the way the they should go.

Our Heavenly Father is the Father of fathers.

He created the River of Delights specifically for His children.

Those who were privileged to experience the Renewal of the 90's

And it's continuation and other moves of God know this.

Laughter and shear happiness were characteristic of every Revival.

Yes, there was conviction of sin and the revelation of the holiness of God,

Repentance and forgiveness.

But along with this, and in equal measure,

Came the revelation of the goodness and love of God.

Christ Jesus said:

I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth,

Because you have hidden these things

(The reality of the Kingdom of God on earth as in Heaven)

From the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. (Matthew 11:25-26)

God has said:

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

The intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. (Isaiah 29:14)

Christ Jesus said:

Wisdom [The Bride of Christ] is proved right by her actions.

(Matthew 11:19)

Wisdom, The Bride of Christ, embraces Christ Jesus

As the only Way, the only Truth and the only LIFE.

Who did Christ Jesus select to be His first disciples?

Was it the intellectuals, the religious leaders of the day?

No, it was not, but rather those with child like Faith.

Those that His Father has been able to speak to;

Those that the Father drew to Christ Jesus;

Those who were able to believe in the miracles Christ Jesus did.

Scripture tells us that when Christ Jesus turned the water into wine:

This first of His miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee.

He thus revealed His Glory, and his disciples put their Faith in Him.

(John 2:11)

The twelve disciples saw the miracle and put their Faith in Christ Jesus.

Afterward, many others witnessed the miracles that Christ Jesus did

But did not recognize Him as the Christ of God or put their Faith in Him.

Why is this?

Because Faith in God, His Christ Jesus, and His Word are reserved for children,

Willing and able to BELIEVE!

I pray that those who read this message have the child like Faith

Necessary to believe that Jesus is the Christ of God;

That they will put their entire Faith, Hope and Trust in Him.

Those who do so will never be disappointed.

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!
