How does the Kingdom of God work when sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ

The Kingdom of God works in Seed form and it always and only produces after It's Own Kind.

If you plant sunflower seeds, you will get sunflowers.

If you plant apple seeds, you will get an apple tree and it will produce apples. NOT Pecans!

If your apple tree produces pecans, guess what? It's not an apple tree. It's a pecan tree.

Seed, Spirit, and Sword

We must examine The Fruit of the Spirit in our lives!

In Luke 6:43-45, NKJV, Jesus says, 43 “For a Good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear Good Fruit.

44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

45 A Good man out of the Good Treasure of his heart brings forth Good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

In Galatians 5, Paul verifies what the fruit of the flesh is and what The Fruit of the Spirit is.

So how does this apply to becoming free and sharing The Good News?

If we simply sow love. We will reap love. Sow joy. Reap joy. Sow peace. Reap peace.

Sow patience. Reap patience. Sow kindness. Reap kindness. Sow goodness. Reap goodness.

Sow faithfulness. Reap faithfulness. Sow gentleness. Reap gentleness.

Sow self-control. Reap self-control.

If you sow freedom. You and others will reap freedom.

If you sow healing. You and others will reap healing.

And, if you sow The Good News. The Lost become found !

Always examine yourself to make sure you are planting The Fruit of The Spirit

and

Not the fruit of the flesh.

Because every seed you sow will produce after it's own kind.

1 Peter 1:22-25, NKJV, says, 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying The Truth through The Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through The Word of God which lives and abides forever,

24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,

25 But The Word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is The Word which by The Gospel was preached to you.

The Word of God reveals that we were of a corruptible seed and now we're of an Incorruptible Seed.

While Galatians 4:24-25, NLT, says, 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.

25 Since we are living by The Spirit, let us follow The Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

When we understand that The Good News of Jesus Christ is the greatest Seed ever sown.

Then we will see that we're called to sow every Seed in The Will of God

So, it will always produces after The Fruit of The Spirit.

When we share this undeserved free gift we call amazing grace.

We are sharing The Eternal Love of God

That was poured out for the Freedom of all mankind.

To restore our lost image, value, purpose, and identity.

In this way we have Co-union and Communion with Jesus Christ in His death and Resurrection

In such a way that others might have the same. And this really is. The Good News!

Peter quotes and establishes Isaiah 53:5, NET in 1 Peter 2:24, ESV.

So we could know because of Jesus Wounds, we have been Healed.

Philippians 2:7, ESV shows us. Jesus was Emptied.

Psalm 22:14, KJV, also shows us Jesus was Poured out.

And, we know He was poured out so we could be Filled.

We find in Isaiah 52:14, NLT, That Jesus was Disfigured and made Unrecognizable.

And, we know He was made Unrecognizable so we could Become Recognizable again.

In Mark 15:1, NKJV, Jesus was Bound.

And, we know He was Bound so we could be set Free.

In Luke 22:63, NKJV, We see Jesus was Beaten.

And, we know He was Beaten, so we could be Unbeatable.

In Isaiah 53:5, NIV, We see Jesus was Punished, so that we could have Peace.

In Luke 23:33, KJV, We see Jesus was Crucified.

And, we know that He was Crucified so we could be Justified.

In Matthew 27:46, and Psalm 22:1, KJV, We see the Father Forsake Jesus.

In Psalm 22:1, NLT, It says Abandon. The Strong's Concordance says it is, to leave or depart from.

So we see the Father Forsake and Abandoned Jesus for a Moment.

And,

We know The Father Forsook and Abandoned Jesus for a Moment,

So He could Behold us for an Eternity.

Ultimately we see in 2 Corinthians 5:15, and 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, NKJV,

That Jesus Died, so we could Live.

Communion or Co-Union with Jesus Christ is so much more than just something we do on any given Sunday. It's who we become through The Body and Blood. By understanding that Jesus Christ is the First Fruits of all creation.

Colossians 1:15, NKJV, says, 15 He is the image of the invisible God, The Firstborn over all creation.

Because He is and we have this Great Hope. We trade our body for His glorious Body and our blood for His glorious Blood. By burying our old self with Him and raise to New Life a New Creation with Jesus Christ.

We must know

There's a huge difference between knowing about God

and

Actually knowing God.

Communion or Co-Union with Jesus Christ is about intimacy, relationship,

and

So much more!

At the end of the day it doesn't matter how many Scriptures you memorize

How many sermons you listen to before this dirt body hits the ground,

If it's just to know about Him.

In John 5:38-40, NKJV, Jesus says, 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

What can we learn from this teaching of Jesus?

We should

Never let Knowing about God, take the place of Knowing God!

and

The Word that matters Most is The Word that your Living and Walking Out.

How to Renew your mind?

Luke 23:34, In The Word of God, Jesus Says, " Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." This is so POWERFUL on so many levels ! Isn't this how life is? So many go around doing things without even knowing why. But on a deeper level. We might find that a life without Jesus, means a life without a TRUE relationship with our Heavenly Father. And this happens to be the case for many. Now if that's you well hang in here because your life will shift dramatically by simply Clicking on the TAB that says Receiving Jesus ? But for now lets continue on. If we take the same stance as Jesus on the cross in every situation then it will change our life and perspective from earthly to heavenly. Here I will give a very simple explanation. Let me set the stage. You get up in the morning. Have a wonderful shower. It's a beautiful day. The birds are singing. You take a moment to collect your thoughts. Spend some time in your normal routine ...

How to Apply THE GOOD NEWS in real life

So, let's say you're given a playbook for a football or basketball game. Then you listen to the coach go over and over the material in it. But, all you do is listen, read, and memorize it. What will you do on game day seeing you have never held a football or basketball? You've never ran any practice drills. You haven't even played a scrimmage game. But hey, you've listened to the coach, read the playbook, memorized some plays, bought a pair of $100.00 shoes to match your uniform. You look like a football or basketball player. You even sound like one. The fact is, without applying the information to real life, you'll only reach a certain point. OK, let's say instead of a playbook, you're given a manual to learn Martial Arts. But, all you do is read the manual and listen to someone verbally teach it. How do you think your first match or tournament will go? How will you respond when you are physically attacked? To become someone who is skilled at...

Created to Love and Called to Share

Opening Statement The information that's being given to you is presented in love to equip you, not to condemn you. For we know there's now no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 . If we become convicted, this is a good thing, because it's the love of our Heavenly Father calling us to another level in our relationship with Him. The Word of God In 2 Peter 1:12-13, NLT, says, 12 Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught. 13 And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live. Reminding you what? 2 Peter 1:1-11, NLT , 1 This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior. 2 May God give you more and more grace and peace as you g...

Pure Motives, Love, & The Good News of Jesus Christ

In Philippians 1:15-18, we see some people share The Good News with pure motives and others from selfish ambition, jealousy, and with no sincerity. But, Paul still rejoiced because, The Good News was still being shared. The reality Paul was faced with is the same reality we're faced with today. Since there are so few set free and willing to walk in love rightly. He rejoiced in the fact that Something is better than nothing! Ultimately, we know we should have pure motives and love others with no agenda because this is the example Jesus set. In order for others to truly experience the love of Christ through us, We must represent Him well by setting our selfish motives and agenda's aside. In this way, people will see that you genuinely love and care about them. We must arrive at the place in our walk with Jesus that we fully understand this simple gesture. “ We will do a lot for love” What does this mean? Here's an Example: If my wife decided that I don't...

The Great Commandment and The Great Commisson

First things First ! I'm writing this to Encourage The Church. If you have received Jesus then you're The Church. This information is not Provided to condemn anyone. It is intended to create freedom and spark a fire in all who have ears to hear. So before we begin. You must read and hear this information with the right ear. Because if you hear this information with the dirt body your living in. That is the flesh. Then you will likely become offended and only hear what you want to hear. Most will shut down. Unable to hear with the right ear. The ear that hears the Love of God and The last Commands of Jesus before leaving this dirt earth. But I will continue on for those who can set their earth suits aside and hear with the right ear. As you move forward you just might step into a level of freedom you have never known before. If you're still with me then lets begin.. Did you know that only 95% of all CHRISTIANS live their entire LIFE as a Christian Without ever leading even o...

The Basics of Sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ Continued and The Foundation for Your P.O.R. or Point of Reference

Note : We never put God in a box when sharing The Good News . There's no particular way to share The Good News as long as it's always The Good News . This P.O.R. is just what it says it is. It's a Point of Reference. In Romans 10:9-10 We see that God gave His Son to gain His sons and daughters and we find that Romans 10:9 is one of the closest Scriptures we have to a prayer of Salvation. In Genesis 1:26-28 We see our Image, Dominion and Authority and Similarities between us and God in regards to confessing or speaking. In John 3:15-16 We see that God paid the priceless price of His Son to show His Love to the world. Simply put, God wants a relationship with His Children and paid a high price to prove it. I n Romans 6:4-5 We see that those who are buried with Christ are also Raised from the dead in the likeness of Christ. We see that He has Power over life and death. Note: Genesis 1:26-28,...
