Keep this thought in mind, you cannot build Kingdom faith on a religious foundation. It just won’t work. There are many well-meaning individuals, attempting to teach a Kingdom message with a religious foundation. They conduct their church services the same way, but sprinkle in some Kingdom precepts and principles with it. But the Kingdom of God is a government, not a religion. Without the understanding, of a kingdom government, they are trying to build on a weak foundation. Read what the Lord God told His ambassador concerning the coming of His Son: For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT
In order for one to teach the Kingdom message, you must have a clear and solid understanding of it with a solid and correct Kingdom foundation. One cannot build on a weak foundation for in times of crisis it will all crumble and fall. You first must take the time to slowly tear down the old foundation of religious thinking. Then, and only then, may you start rebuilding a foundation with a new mindset. Ambassador Paul put it this way: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2
Remember that religion is created by man and is of this world. But the Lord God’s Kingdom is a government that is not of this world. It is the government of Heaven, where our King resides and the Kingdom of God resides in His citizens. Read what the Lord Jesus told His disciples: “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth (Holy Spirit), whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” John 14:15-17 The key to understanding the Kingdom message is having a solid and correct foundation.
As I see and read about all the religions on this earth, I see they are all searching for the Kingdom. It is ironic that their religious traditions hide the very Kingdom they actually need. This is what King Jesus meant when He stated, And from the time John the Baptist began preaching until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it. For before John came, all the prophets and the law of Moses looked forward to this present time. Matthew 11:12-13 NLT Luke, one of the disciples, recorded Jesus’ words in this way: “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the Kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.” Luke 16:16-17
Remember, your faith in His Word is your greatest asset in the Kingdom.
