We are to demonstrate the Kingdom by the life we are living!
Does it do any good to tell people GOD is My Provider, yet I have no provision. Does it do any good to tell people GOD is My Healer, yet I have no testimonies of Divine healing.
We are to live from Heaven towards earth as Jesus did. If we live from earth towards Heaven, we ask GOD to come and fix a problem. When you live Heaven towards earth, you co-labor with Jesus and declare the problem fixed, solved, or changed.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 2:
4 But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.
5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, HE united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by HIS wonderful grace!
6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!
It is vital that we transition from being earthly-minded to being Heavenly-minded.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:
36 But I can provide more substantial proof of who I am that exceeds John’s testimony—My miracles! These works (miracles, signs, and wonders) which the Father destined for Me to complete—they prove that the Father has sent Me!
37 And My Father Himself, Who gave Me this mission, has also testified that I am His Son. But you have never heard His Voice nor seen His Form,
The miracles, signs, and wonders Jesus performed proved Who He was and is. In like manner, we are to operate with the same proof. Embrace this Truth rather than rationalize why you can’t walk in the same manner. As these writings transfer from your mind to your heart, you too will do greater works.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
His fruit testified of Who He is, His identity! The prophets announced who Jesus was. John the Baptist came and announced who He was. The star in the East announced who He was. Angels showed up and announced who He was. Jesus in essence said, “You can ignore all those announcements if I don’t do miracles. If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe me.”
Jesus spoke to us in John chapter 14:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
Mark recorded works of Jesus in Mark chapter 6:
56 Wherever Jesus entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.
Now consider greater works that were recorded by Luke in Acts chapter 19:
11 God kept releasing a flow of extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul. 12 Because of this, people took Paul’s handkerchiefs and articles of clothing, even pieces of cloth that had touched his skin, laying them on the bodies of the sick, and diseases and demons left them and they were healed.
Paul was not unique in ministering healing and so we should not limit ourselves to anything less than what Paul did.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 20:
19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
As we fully understand and accept our position co-seated with Christ, we will operate in the same manner as Paul, Peter, and the other disciples. Our mission field is where we are at.
