Repent For The  Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand

 Matt 6 :
3 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

How?
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  <>
 John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
These are attributes of Born again believers.  A love for God and a love for fellow believers and love for our ennemies through the Holy Spirit.  The Beatitudes in Matt. 5. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.  7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.  8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.  9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
To be a disciple of Jesus Christ is to die to self take up our cross daily. To suffer persecution and rejection , to be hated with out a cause by religious people who love the world and the praises of men, and hated by those unbelievers who hate Jesus.  You may also feel lonely and misunderstood by your friends and family members.  But understand that if you can indure these things great will your reward be in an unending eternal life and a overcoming victorious life here and now.
You shall stand before the Lord and receive a Crown of Righteousness.
We need to have Jesus sanctify us and or sanctify ourselves.
John 17:16
They(disciples) are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

The character and the will of God the Father as seen in the son Jesus Christ.
Matt. 9 :  36 But when he saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matt. 6 :9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
<>  Matt. 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 
 3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matt. 9: 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
This still is good news to us this day 2006.
Matt. 10 :1 And when He had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
What is Jesus saying to those who are willing to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Matt.: 28  <>18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:   Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

<>Define The Kingdom.
Matt.10: 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. : 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 
Matt. 9 : 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
 Again we see what is in the realm of the Kingdom of God .  Matt.10" 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
There are many lost sheep in the household of God that sit under shepherds that have been deceived by  false teachings of  faithless theologians that worship the intellectual interpretations of the written word of the bible and never go deeper into a spiritual  discernment of the doctrine of God.  And deceiving their followers.
Doctrine or Teachings.
John 7 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
 
<>John 6: 45  "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."  Isaiah 54:13
We are given the Holy Spirit
of truth at our new birth who is the Seed (Spirit of Jesus) who is the Word that is a Light unto our path. John 14: 26  "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." 
We all shall stand before the Lord at that day, 11 Cor. 5:
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
We will not be able to give an excuse that  we followed a mans teaching and the traditions of the church and not  Jesus teachings of the Holy Spirit to bear fruit  and there by making disciples unto Jesus and heal the sick and proclaim the Kingdom of God is at hand or presence of the Lord is here to heal.

Much more can be said about the Kingdom of God and can be found in the scriptures and can be understood through the Holy Spirit by the diligent seeker.
The Kingdom of  God is a realm we can live in now by  Rom. 12:1- I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
What child does not want to please and be loved and find favor with their parents?  So we to must want to please our heavenly Father and want to receive favor knowing His will for our lives, so that when we pray we know that we receive because we pray according to His will.

I would now like to share with you some blessings of the Kingdom of God that I received.  Let it be know that I am not bragging on any  thing I have done but what Jesus has accomplish through His shed blood on the cross, His death and resurrection on the third day.
I believe in free will but  I wonder some times if the Lord bends my will so as to help me make the right choices to do His will.  I prayed a long time ago and still pray
Ps 37: Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  I ask that the Lord would put His desires in my heart and help me be obedient to His desires. 
#1 Being born again an filled to over flowing of love and grace with the Holy Spirit,   Ps. 103: 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies;
The part of this Ps about redeeming my life from distrution is what I praise and thank Jesus for every  time I read it. From generational Cruces of alcoholism, and from rejection of not being loved or excepted of feelings of inadequacies low self esteem.  Anger and rebellion brought on by an imbalance of love and correction by my parents not knowing how to demonstrate love because they themselves did not experience love from their strict parents and over correcting with corporal punishment in a desire for me to grow up to be a good person. I tried but could not do,  I got my mouth washed out with soap many times.  I was delivered from fears, of separation brought on by the death of my father when I was only 11 years old.  Anxiety attacks and depression brought on by anger.  I was delivered from tobacco habit 28 years ago with out withdrawal pangs, a miracle. Healed of arthritis 25 years ago.  I had it bad in my bone joints pain and swelling a miracle.

In the year 1990 I receive in prayer this scripture.   Exodus 23: 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.  Also see Exodus 15:26.
As I began to confess this promise or revelation from the Lord, which is a must for any thing we are promised starting with salvation and being born again.  And when we begin to confess the word the devil will try to hinder us from receiving our inheritance that is in Jesus Christ.  If the devil succeeds in deceiving you in unbelief you will receive nothing from the Lord God. This is the work of faith the Apostle James speaks of.
When I began to tell people these things I got sicker than a dog I could not lift my head up off the bath room floor but I survived and  I realized by 1992 I had not been sick with a cold or flew for over a year no runny nose no nothing.  And now it has been almost by Feb. 2007  16 years.  This also helps Ps 41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.  2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.  

You are not an orphan you have the same Hevenly Father I have, and an inheritance of all things through Jesus Christ.  Will you just choose a single portion  of  this inheritance by just being born again and  have your fire insurance paid for which is very good but this is the single, but there is more in the double portion , will you  step out in faith and obedience and enter into the hevenly realm of the Kingdom of God where the will of God is done and there is abundant Life,  and bear fruit unto eternal life?  Amen
Sincerely Your Brother in Christ Jesus.
