A Kingdom Message - Seek




It was 2000 years ago when a man was born into the world. He was a regular man, but his Father was God. He was born without sin and came to save mankind from theirs. He was born of virgin woman as a sign to the people, but the people ignored it. He came with a message that made perfect sense at the time, and yet, through out the centuries that message has weakened. He has been the most misunderstood man on earth. This man’s name is Jesus, The Christ and He did NOT bring a religion. He brought with Him a GOVERNMENT.

This government is called “The Kingdom”. Jesus mentions it as “the kingdom of heaven or God”. Heaven or God is simple the place it comes from. It literally is a form of government from heaven. The next question you should ask yourself is “Why a Government?” or “What does a government come with?” Government is the form or system by which the people of a country are ruled or controlled. A government is the ruling authority of a system over a territory, impacting and producing a community of people (citizens), who express the culture and lifestyle of the system. This is why the democratic government is so good in the eyes of people. The system tells them that they can have the culture and lifestyle they want.

In today’s world people really don’t want a religion. They don’t want someone to tell them how to live their life. They don’t want to be limited in any way. They want to be able to experience life to the fullest. Most people today see religion as just a hindrance. To them religion is a barrier that limits one’s life experience. No one is looking for religion any more. All people want in life is the freedom to do what they want. Whether it is Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or Christianity, no one is rushing or forcing themselves to get into them, and yet, Jesus said this about His Kingdom “…the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it.”(Luke 16:16) Sounds like the immigration problem America has today.

Jesus is saying, that when people begin to understand “The Kingdom” message, they will do whatever it takes to get in. People will sell all they have to “GET IN” (Matthew 13:45-46). People will look for it like a hidden treasure and risk their lives to experience it just like the immigrants do to get to America, because it promises them a culture and lifestyle of prosperity. EVERYONE on earth is looking for an abundant life, whether they know it consciously or unconsciously. We all want to NOT WORRY about THE THINGS we need in our daily lives. Jesus also said “SEEK first His kingdom and His Righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”(Matt 6:33) (IF YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT, IT WAS NOT ADDED)

The kingdom of heaven is what YOU are looking for. This is why you want to be rich. It’s not "money" that you want; it’s the power that money gives you that you want. The power to eat, drink, wear, go, and do anything you want. Jesus also knows you want these things which is why He mentions them before Matthew 6:33. He says “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.”(Matt 6:25) but in this same verse He asks YOU “Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” This question implies that there is more to life than just your physical needs. This questions deals with YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE.

You can only know when you SEEK.

God bless everyone

The Return Of Heaven on Earth


Today’s world is NOT perfect. We humans have tried to come up with the perfect way to live ever since Adam disobeyed God. We have tried to perfect our way of life since the moment Adam took the fruit and ate it. We keep trying to come up with different governments, but none of them have been able to accomplish what we had in the Garden of Eden. We are now in the year 2013. Over 6000 years have passed since Adam disobeyed and the governments of today don’t seem to be working, at least not when you compare it to the Garden of Eden.

We had everything in the Garden. There was NO poverty, NO crime, NO sickness, NO corruption, NO starvation, NO DEATH. Everything Adam wanted was available to him. Adam had every need met in the Garden; power, food, water, God even gave him a woman. Adam had the PERFECT LIFE. The Garden of Eden was an atmosphere or environment of heavenly order. The word "Eden" means "Delight" or "Pleasure"(Strong's H5731 and H5730). So in other words the Garden of Eden is a heavenly order in the delightful and pleasant presence of God. The phrase "heavenly order" can be expanded into other words, such as "an order that rules in heaven"; another way of expressing these words that can be the word "government". A government is what provides the lifestyle and culture of the people in a country.

When Adam disobeyed God, he was immediately cut off from the influence of the government; and his first act of Adam on his own was an attack on his wife. Even though it wasn’t a physical attack, it was an attack. The second act that occurs once we started governing ourselves was a brother on brother crime. In today’s world we are still faced with these problems. Domestic violence and murder are always on the top of the crime list. It doesn’t matter what government is controlling that nation, they are problems that no human government has been able to correct.

The good new is that the government of heaven has RETURNED. The prophet Isaiah said it this way "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and THE GOVERNMENT will be upon His shoulders. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."(Isaiah 9:6) This verse is talking about Jesus, The Christ. Jesus came to bring back to us this wonderful government called "The Kingdom of Heaven".

Everyone Wants To Go To Heaven




Everyone wants to go to heaven, but my question is "what is IN heaven that everyone wants to go there?"... I figured it out....to me, heaven will have everything that I want on earth; peace, love, no worries, everything is FREE, I get to do the things I love to do, like grilling, fishing, dancing, etc....awww..... HEAVEN.....what a great place!!! Just thinking about it make you want to go there, but I believe that this is what most people think heaven is like. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to DIE to experience heavenly life? Wouldn't it be great if we could experience this life NOW.

God thought of the same idea I just discovered. The idea of experiencing heavenly life on earth is NOT a new idea. It was the ORIGINAL idea God had for a human's lifestyle on Earth. That's why He put the first man He created in the Garden of Eden. He didn't put man in the middle of a jungle or some bush filled forest. God put man in an environment full of order. When I think of a "garden", it is a place of order; flowers go here, veggies over there, etc... The Garden of Eden was an atmosphere or environment of heavenly order. The word "Eden" means "Delight" or "Pleasure"(Strong's H5731 and H5730). So in other words the Garden of Eden is a heavenly order in the delightful and pleasant presence of God.

The phrase "heavenly order" can be expanded into other words, such as "an order that rules in heaven". Another way of expressing these words that can be the word "government". A government is what provides the lifestyle and culture of the people in a country. When Adam disobeyed God, he did NOT lose a RELIGION. Adam LOST A GOVERNMENT and ever since then "man" has been trying to come up with his own government. This is way the bible states "There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." (Prov. 16:25) Just look at everything that happens world wide. No government is working. They all have poverty, crime, corruption, violence. Everyone is looking for the right gorvernment, consciously or non-consciously. We are ALL looking for the perfect lifestyle. This can ONLY come from a perfect government system.

I believe and know that this perfect government (Garden of Eden) has already returned to earth.  It is here NOW. Jesus The Christ called it "The Kingdom of Heaven". Jesus has been the most misunderstood man on earth. People see him as the founder a religion which He never created. Jesus did NOT come to start a religion, He came to bring this government back to us. The prophet Isaiah said it this way "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) Jesus came and brought back to us this wonderful government called "The Kingdom".  

IT HAS ARRIVED!!! IT IS HERE NOW!!! YOU CAN ENTER INTO THIS LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ACCEPT AND BELIEVE IN THE KING OF THIS HEAVENLY COUNTRY.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Kingdom Life
