THE KINGDOM OF GOD SUFFERS VIOLENCE

From the Days of John the Baptist until the Present Time

The Kingdom of Heaven has Endured Violent Assault,

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)

Today, in America the Kingdom of God Suffers Violent Assault

And only Violent men and women obtain a Share

In it as a Precious Prize,

With most Ardent Zeal and Intense Exertion.

In other words, the only ones who Obtain the Kingdom of God

Are those who make it the Focus of their lives;

Who understand that there is No LIFE out side of God's Kingdom,

In the here and now, as well as the by and by.

King David express this Reality Eloquently:

He who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High

Shall remain Stable and Fixed under the Shadow of the Almighty

[Whose Power no Foe can withstand].

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress,

My God, on Him I Lean and Rely,

And IN Him I (confidently) Trust!

(Psalm 91:1,2, AMP)

One thing have I asked of the Lord,

That will I seek after, Inquire for and [insistently ] Require,

That I may Dwell in the House of the Lord [in His Presence]

All the Days of my life,

to behold and gaze upon the Beauty

[The sweet attractiveness and delightful loveliness] of the Lord,

And to Meditate, consider and inquire in His Temple.

[Psa. 65:4; 18:6; 16:11; Luke 2:37.]

Whom have I in Heaven but You?

And I have No Delight or Desire on Earth beside You.

(Psalm 73:25, AMP)

I say to the Lord, You are my Lord;

I have No Good beside or beyond You.

(Psalm 16:2, AMP)

And who is it that Assaults the Kingdom of God?

It is Everyone who does not belong to IT.

EVERYONE is either For or Against Christ Jesus,

There is No Middle Ground. Listen:

He who is not with Me (definitely on My side)

IS AGAINST ME,

And he who does not (definitely) Gather with Me

And for My side, Scatters.

Therefore I tell you, every Sin and Blasphemy--

That is every Evil, Abusive Injurious speaking

Or Indignity Against Sacred Things--

Can be Forgiven men,

But Blasphemy Against the (Holy) Spirit

Shall not and cannot be Forgiven.

(Matthew 12:30,31, AMP)

Today, American Culture is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

The American Government is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

The American Judiciary is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

Corporate America is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

The Media is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

The Entertainment Industry is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

American Education is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God;

The APOSTATE “Church” is an ASSAULT on the Kingdom of God.

YET, in the END, they shall All PERISH;

At the Return of Christ Jesus they shall All PERISH,

Never to be thought of again.

It will be as if they had Never Existed!

Listen to Christ Jesus' Promise to the Church of Philadelphia

And to every True Believer today:

Because you have Guarded and Kept My Word of Patient Endurance--

Have Held Fast the Lesson of My Patience

With the Expectant Endurance that I give you--

I also will Keep you (safe) from the Hour of TRIAL (testing)

Which is Coming On the Whole World,

To TRY those who Dwell upon the Earth.

I AM COMING QUICKLY;

Hold Fast what you have.

So that No One may Rob you and Deprive you of your Crown.

(Revelation 3:10,11, AMP)
