Jesus Feast

When We Embrace That Gospel

The great commission applies to the ecclesia who had embraced the gospel of the kingdom as started by John the Baptist and fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

The Christians who don’t have that gospel of the kingdom within them should not feel the obligation to go into all the world preaching.

So some of us should lay down that ambition and walk away from the mic.

Large portions of the New Testament just do not track at all with what is on display on Sunday mornings in the vast majority of churches.

And when that gospel is recovered it will be obvious, Christians will meet like they met, they will love one another like they did. There will be equality among us like there was then.

And then what is called “the great commission” will apply to groups of Christians working together. Not to lone super-stars building their religious empires.

The End of All Other Kingdoms

The coming of the kingdom of Jesus Christ ends all other kingdoms. Can you see it coming? it’s on the spiritual horizon. It’s lighting up the sky and all our futures.

  • It ends all the governments of men.
  • It ends the kingdom of my life.
  • It undoes the kingdom of world religions.
  • It gets under the skin of all and everyone loyal to Satan (whether people realize they are) or not.

The coming of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is “Gods will being done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.”

On earth Satan also still works, he’s a usurping leader. In a vacuum he can impose his old worn out and cruel vision for humanity. He is still the incumbent regime in many places around the earth.

So this kingdom of Jesus Christ which displaces him against his will is infuriating. It can lead to violence and persecution.

What Jesus Said About Himself

Surrendering to Jesus or Practicing Lawlessness

“’Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.”

“”Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.” “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’”

Matthew 7:22-23 NASB

Not doing the will of God HERE ON EARTH, even if it’s ministry activity is considered lawlessness. Lawlessness because they do it out of self will, they haven’t surrendered to Christ.

When Jesus is Lord, it’s his will being done, our wills, our ambitions, our wonderful vision for how things should be is dead, it requires a surrender, a yielding to the spirit of Jesus in all, Jesus’ will is revived in all, not the pro at the top of some heirarchy.

If one man must dominate and have his will done by all to keep a group of Christians united and together then it’s that mans kingdom. Take him out and things disintegrate. This is lawlessness even the group is doing noble ministry stuff.

I’ve seen this many when a pastor leaves or resigns, or is driven out, his loyal followers disband and leave in a hurry. He kept them united, he motivated their work, he united them in the struggle. It wasn’t Jesus because Jesus hadn’t left and doesn’t change.

It had always been that leader who was their mini lord, mini religious king, this is not the Lordship of Jesus or the kingdom of Jesus Christ.

This is wordily lawlessness and it’s everywhere, it won’t last.
