It is Just What it is, the Good News of the Kingdom
I would like for you to keep this one thing in mind, everything God does serves for His Kingdom purpose. One of the main reasons that we so often misunderstand God is because we fail to recognize this fact. From the very beginning, God intended to extend His kingly dominion from the invisible and spiritual realm into the visible physical realm. This would be accomplished by ruling through human beings whom He created and placed in authority over the rest of the created order.
Keep this in mind, that it is because of man's disobedience he abdicated his place of authority, and came under Satan's sway, falling into the spiritual bondage and most of all, blindness. This is one of the reasons that I refuse to follow any leader that fails to lead and rule his own home.
Constitutional Scripture: I Timothy 3:5 For if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God's.
Please note: The Word of God is our standard for living on this planet that we call earth, and being filled with the Spirit is a must.
Now since God's purpose never changes, He enacted His plan, formed from before the foundation of the world, to help us discover His Kingdom. God's goal is to restore man to his rightful place of dominion and earthly leadership.
Focus Point: God's original plan was to bring Heaven to Earth through human beings. Another way to say this, is that God's purpose is to restore His rulership on earth through mankind. Satan, the usurper, must be removed from the earthly throne he stole. This restoration of God's rulership on earth through mankind is truly what lies at the heart of the faith that we hold as believers and followers of Christ. If you may or may not have noticed, I didn't say followers of your Christian faith. That is because Jesus never referred to those who believed in Him as "Christians". Besides, "Christianity: is just another religion filled with hypocrisy. To restore the Kingdom is what Jesus came to earth to accomplish in our lives.
Jesus preached and taught a simple message: The Kingdom of Heaven has come to earth. Jesus' message, which was given to Him by His Father, reflected His divine mission on earth, as well as the passion and the desire of His heart. The driving motivation of the life of Christ was not to get to heaven--that is the goal of "religion"--but to get heaven to us. Jesus' passion was to establish His Father's Kingdom on earth in the heart of men. When are we going to ever get a clue.
I'm quite sure many of you have heard in recent years about the increase of religious hatred, strife and conflict around the world. Muslims have attacked and killed such religious groups as Christians and Jews; and Hindus have done the same to Muslims, as well as each other. Different sets of the same group fight among themselves. All of this conflict leaves in the wake a backwash of death, despair, anger, hatred, resentment, bitterness, strife, disease and poverty. Please keep this in mind, this was all done in the name of "serving God"
