If you could, would you walk in total freedom in your life? If there were a way, would you choose to be free of the aches and painful anomalies in your body, the resentments and anxieties in your mind, the hurt in your heart? Would you choose to have relationships that were fulfilling and harmonious, exciting and nurturing? Would you choose to be doing something with your life that is full and complete?
The offering of God’s Kingdom, that Jesus Christ brought to earth, is total freedom, as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:10
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
This is the will of the Father in heaven.
John 12:49 (NKJV)
For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
Jesus came, healing the sick, delivering people from their demons, even raising the dead. And He said He was our model.
Matthew 10:1 (ESV)
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.
Luke 10:9 (NLT)
Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’
John 10:10 (MSB)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
Total fullness. Total freedom. That we would prosper in every way. This is the offering of the Kingdom of God. When we speak the will of God in belief, nothing can stand against it.
Matthew 16:15-19 (NLV)
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, you are happy because you did not learn this from man. My Father in heaven has shown you this. “And I tell you that you are Peter. On this rock I will build My church. The powers of hell will not be able to have power over My church. I will give you the keys of the holy nation of heaven. Whatever you do not allow on earth will not have been allowed in heaven. Whatever you allow on earth will have been allowed in heaven.”
If we truly comprehended, believed and acted in faith, this world would be a different place. It would display the offering of God’s kingdom.
Matthew 10:7-8 (The Voice)
As you go, preach this message: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Heal the sick, raise the dead, and cleanse those who have leprosy. Drive out demons from the possessed. You received these gifts freely, so you should give them to others freely.
