This is the beginning season of extremes beyond anything experienced in recent history.

Through much tribulation we must enter the reality of the kingdom of God and awaken to who we are and Who lives in us. Christ Jesus lives in us to rule and reign by loving the world as God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. All that God has made is perfect in beauty and function beyond all understanding and imagination of mankind.

Awakening is not a strong enough term to speak of the brilliant light of Spirit God coming forth to captivate and consume the spirits, hearts, and minds of the many sons of the kingdom arising in this day. The glory of God coming forth is beyond anything we have known and beyond our understanding. The manifestation of Spirit God in us and among us transforming all that we can see, feel, think, and touch into the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Glory that is both internal and external is completely filling and covering every true child of the kingdom. This is the end of the veiled or shrouded existence of half-hearted seeking and never fully finding the fullness of God in us and with us. That sense of always longing for more that many believers have experienced for years will change into a sense of Spirit fulfillment reality that feels like our bodies could handle no more without exploding or dissolving. Nothing of the old sinful nature will remain - only the nature and life of Christ truly living in fullness within bringing the glory of heaven into fullness in and among His kingdom people.

No child of the kingdom will seek after supernatural manifestations because we will be abiding fully in the Spirit and the glory of God in the fullness of supernatural Spirit reality every moment of our lives on earth. Love shall abound overcoming every work of darkness within and around us - even while darkness covers the earth and great darkness the people.

The world is entering the Day of the Lord when justice shall be quick and extreme. The last great rise of the enemy forces of Satan and all powers of darkness are unleashed to release as much hell on earth as the ungodly and the deceived religious people will allow. The great imbalance of undeserved evil against the true people of God will set up and trigger the wrath of God that will destroy evil forces. There will not be one thing remaining that lifts itself against the one true God of heaven and earth and His people.

The heavenly balance of all things as originally created by God will be returned. For every evil work and imbalance created by injustice shall be recompensed and brought back into perfect balance and order.

Life divided against itself cannot stand. Every part and parcel of life and all existence on Planet Earth in its perfect order as designed by God is one interconnected, unified, perfectly balanced creation of God.

All creation is designed to be self-correcting. When anything becomes out of balance, counter forces around it are designed to press it toward its designed balance and order. All life emanates from one source and exists as one universal reality of divinely designed purpose.

Because there is only one source of all life, all things fit together as one created reality. Many diverse parts and portions are aligned and connected to demonstrate the one functioning organism of reality as designed by the plan and purpose of the creator.

All life and creation is governed and ordered by the one all-loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-wise Spirit God, the creator and sustainer of all. The final authority of all things rests upon the one ultimate seat or throne of God in heaven.

All authority over earth has been given to Christ Jesus who is the God of heaven born into a human body on earth to rule and reign over all earth from the throne of God in heaven. His rule and reign is called the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Colossians 1:15-20: He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. ¹⁸And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. ¹⁹For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

The rule of the kingdom of God on earth is systematically opposed by a false kingdom or principality called anti-Christ or satanic rule. Nothing of the opposing principality is permanent on earth. Death is upon anything and everything that will not be aligned with the creator�s design and purpose. That is to say that there will be an end to all that is out of its designed created purpose and that will not be realigned to its intended place and purpose.

The end or fate of the opposing kingdom is already a done deal through the cross and resurrection of Christ Jesus but not yet completed because the kingdom of God is not in its proper place in the hearts and lives of God�s people. When there is enough kingdom ready people on earth, the devil and all of his works will be completely annihilated or dissolved at the hands of Christ Jesus within His people.

We are now nearer to the end of the evil one and all of his works than ever before. The true gospel of the kingdom is now being proclaimed on an ever increasing scale across the earth. Religious doctrines of demons and traditions of man that clouded the true gospel of the kingdom are being dissolved more every day. A brave strong remnant of forerunners is growing as more and more people of God are hearing and embracing the gospel of the kingdom that prepares them to rule and reign as seeds planting the true kingdom from heaven across the earth.

The kingdom of God, kingdom of heaven, and kingdom of Christ Jesus are all one and the same kingdom from heaven on earth. The gospel (good news) of the kingdom is the message of Christ Jesus coming forth on earth first in the hearts and lives of His people. The good news of the kingdom that Christ Jesus proclaimed and demonstrated was and is the redemption and re-alignment of all disorder and imbalance on Planet Earth beginning with mankind and including every aspect part and parcel of all that is in or on or around Planet Earth.

The true gospel of the kingdom that Christ Jesus brought to earth and re-purchased with His perfect sacrificed life at the cross was and is much more about the rule and ways of heaven coming to earth than people going to heaven after death.

The disorder and imbalance of the world that was created when Adam and Eve disobeyed God back in the Garden of Eden separated mankind and life on earth from the kingdom of God lifestyle on earth. Christ Jesus at the cross and the subsequent cross bearing of the people of God fulfilling the suffering of His cross has redeemed and is redeeming the perfect balance of the kingdom of God again on earth.

Colossians 1:24: I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.

1 Peter 2:19-23:For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. ²⁰For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. ²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

Unjustly suffering creates an imbalance that triggers a counter balance of the manifestation of the glory of God, if it is endured patiently. When you and I suffer unjustly for doing what is right and take it patiently, an outpouring of the glory of God upon us enacts the restoration of perfect balance. The greater the unjust suffering, the greater the Spirit of glory resting upon us.

1 Peter 4:12-14: ¹²Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; ¹³but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ�s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. ¹⁴If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

The false religions and anti-Christ armies will destroy one another as the kingdom of God manifests upon the earth - much the same as pictured in the story of Gideon in Judges, chapters six and seven.

Only a small army of pure-hearted and supernaturally anointed handful of warriors will be selected to carry out the strategy of God upon the enemy forces. God will send fear upon the massive enemy armies joined against the kingdom of God. Fear in the enemy armies will cause them to destroy one another in confusion. As the self-defeated armies of the enemy run before the Sons of the kingdom, a multitude of brothers and sister in the Lord will arise and join the war that destroys all the enemy�s armies.

In the end, only the kingdom of God shall remain to restore and replenish the world to the order and life of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven and as it was originally created in the Garden of Eden. The message from God will again be unto His people to be fruitful and multiply to fill the earth with the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

�Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father�s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.�

Jesus, as God�s pattern Son, placed before us by the Father so we might likewise become even as He was on the earth, humanity becoming as purposed by God, a spiritually mature creation. That is to say that His body of people, the remnant of God, is progressively and spiritually to mature into the likeness of the pattern Son.

This speaks to us of a need to move beyond the orders of carnal man and his religious philosophies, rituals and programs, as we seek God to anoint and fulfill the fullness of the Christ (head and body) ministry. Matt. 4:23 states, �And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people�.

Let us consider that God�s primary dealings among the children of Israel were from a natural standpoint to a natural minded people. Today, God�s basic purpose among the church is to continue meeting the needs of natural man�s makeup with man still subject to sickness and disease. That is, a knowing that the needs that exist among them results as sickness and disease does affect the realm of the church.

Meanwhile, the ministry of the gospel of the kingdom is to prepare a people, a remnant, to inherit the fullness of God�s eternal purpose, which is to establish God�s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. God�s desire is to prepare His temple for a dwelling place. His people are to be His temple, which is the dwelling place of His rest.

The need that exists among the Christian community, the church orders of today, is to receive a revelation of God�s glorious kingdom, which is, a moving from the in-part realm of the church into the fullness of Christ, His kingdom. 1 Peter 1:12 states clearly that there is a need for man to receive and administrate, under Christ, this glorious kingdom of God. God�s kingdom is not too be administrated by the church order as we have known it today, but it will be administered by those which will manifest the throne-room order of the Holy of Holies. �Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us, they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into�.

Things revealed, as stated in the above scripture, declare of those things unveiled and visible to the spiritual eye are to be ministered. Thus, the need to see, receive and become. By the becoming thereof, the enablement is to announce a joyful message having regard to the matter announced. The enablement is that of the Holy Spirit, the power from on high, which includes all the gifts that come with Him from God.

Friends, does this requirement from God encourage us to move beyond the normal comfortable church rituals of today�s lukewarm church to become firebrands for the sake of God�s kingdom? That is, to become that for which God has purposed for this generation, this time and season which declares that the kingdom of God is come.

Heb. 2:3-4, �How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will�.

Again, let�s consider this truth; while the church, is experiencing a time of having great needs, it is necessary for them to not only see Him, but to become God�s witness of His signs, wonders and miracles that are to touch the minds and bodies of the rest of humanity. Included among these mighty manifestations in the natural realm, the greater need and eternal manifestation is of a soul restored into that, which had a beginning in and from God. That is, a �living-soul�, a vessel that now stands in God�s presence unashamed, manifesting the nature of Christ unto all the earth.

This speaks to us of a people moving beyond the natural realms of carnal man�s thinking into the spiritual realms of God so the �fullness of times� might appear from within to establish God�s eternal kingdom, which is His nature in man here on the earth. Matt. 6:9-10, ��Our Father which art in heaven [invisible realm], hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth [visible realm] as it is in heaven�. The key for humanity, that which opens for man the heavenlies, is the resurrection of a dead fallen soul back into that �living-soul� as it came forth from God in the beginning.

Heb. 2:4, as stated above speaks of signs, wonders and divers miracles along with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Herein, these as made available to God�s remnant people are a power source that not only changes a vessel but also enables that same vessel to release the changes unto the world around about him.

While the gifts of the Holy Spirit can anoint the vessel and release man into manifesting the realm of the supernatural while sicknesses and diseases of the natural man�s body continue, a greater than this is now among us. This is saying to us that the coming forth of a people through the processes of progressive change, they are now being resurrected in the soul to manifest the nature of God.

This means that the remnant of God�s first-fruits harvest are now able to respond to and manifest the will, the mind, the emotions and the desires of God only. They shall no longer be bound to the fallen dead soul of the natural carnal man realm, but they are being resurrected into the throne-room authority of God, even as the first born son, who is now seated with the Father in His throne. Rev. 3:21, �To him that overcomes [the fallen soul, the sin nature, the desires of the flesh] will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne�.

Unto these overcomers, along with the Apostle Paul there has been laid up for them a crown of righteousness and through these overcomers, the kingdom of God will flow from within their soul as a mighty river of life. A people, who are no longer satisfied with the natural expressions of the natural orders of man, but are now enabled to express and manifest the supernatural nature of God from within.

2 Cor. 1:20-22, �For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which established us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts [the living soul]�. This speaks of a God that has purposed and promised unto a people, that by the Spirits indwelling within, He resurrects our hearts, our souls, to a time of sealing as the operation of this Holy Spirit has pledged to bring forth the fulfillment of these promises.

Can we the people of this generation, a remnant of this day, hear the call of God to come forth? Is God not willing to release revelation of His mysteries for the fulfilling of each mystery? This is a people who are coming into this knowing that the �fullness of times� is come, a time to come forth into the full measure of their inheritance and the manifested nature of God into their earth, their bodies.

Eph. 1:9-14 states, �Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself; in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in Him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who works all things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory�.

The earnest, the pledge by God, given unto us that receive is the gift of the new nature. This pledge of God�s gift differs from any ordinary pledge. That is to say, this is the coming forth of our inheritance, obtaining all that Jesus Christ has purchased for us. Thus, a people are coming forth that are to fulfill the prayer of Jesus Christ when He asked the Father to restore back to Him the glory which He had in the Father before the beginning of mankind.

This glory is a glory of like kind that is also to be manifest through Christ body. Has the fullness of times come? Is it now upon us? If it is upon us, then the purchased possession is now to become ours, in Him, so that His glory is now in us. That is to say, that which is of the heavens, the fruit of the Christ seed planted within, is to come forth in the earth, our bodies as the manifest sons of God�s kingdom.
