What does it look like?
What does it look like?
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
DEFINE:
Kingdom:
- A politically organized community or major territorial unit having a monarchical form of government headed by a king
- Una comunidad organizada políticamente o una unidad territorial importante que tiene una forma de gobierno monárquica encabezada por un rey
===
Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven:
Dictionary of Bible Themes :
- the kingly rule of God in the lives of people and nations. It refers to the recognition of the authority of God, rather than a definite geographical area, and begins with the ministry of Jesus Christ.
- The kingdom of God comes into being wherever the kingly authority of God is acknowledged. Although God is always sovereign, Scripture looks to a “realm” or “reign” of salvation. This has come in Christ
- el gobierno real de Dios en la vida de las personas y las naciones. Se refiere al reconocimiento de la autoridad de Dios, más que a un área geográfica definida, y comienza con el ministerio de Jesucristo.
- El reino de Dios llega a existir dondequiera que se reconozca la autoridad real de Dios. Aunque Dios siempre es soberano, la Escritura mira hacia un “reino” o “reino” de salvación. Esto ha venido en Cristo
Most Christians will say that the Kingdom of GOD is where we go when we die.
At least that is what I grew up thinking about the Kingdom of God.
And this is why many Christians live their lives in quiet desperation hopelessly awaiting that day when they can “escape” their lives and be taken to the Kingdom of GOD where there will be no more sorrow and no tears…
What this does it keeps you in captivity, living in fear, living in apathy, living in desperation....
But the Kingdom of GOD is not an abstract thought. It is here an NOW!
You must step into IT! Receive it!
“In the kingdom of God, I have found something far superior to personal fulfillment. I have found the heart of God. I have found my reason for being here.”- Ken Hemphill
“en el reino de Dios he encontrado algo muy superior a la realización personal. He encontrado el corazón de Dios. He encontrado mi razón para estar aquí”. -Ken Hemphill
- The Immensity of the Kingdom of GOD removes ALL limits on what God can do through us.
- La Inmensidad del Reino de DIOS elimina TODOS los límites de lo que Dios puede hacer a través de nosotros.
1st Preaching of JESUS was:
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a predicar, y a decir: Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado.
TLA: Su Reino sera establecido en la Tierra!
Living in the kingdom is stepping outside of the worry of this world and entering GODS domain.
When you repent and are baptized you are dying to the world system
You are dying to what used to Dominate you and entering a KINGDOM that is not of this world.
What dominates your today?
What dominates your mind?
What worry, anxiety, preoccupation, stress, sadness, depression, loneliness…
I tell you “The Kingdom of God is at Hand”
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed,
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”
20 Preguntado por los fariseos, cuándo había de venir el reino de Dios, les respondió y dijo: El reino de Dios no vendrá con advertencia,
21 ni dirán: Helo aquí, o helo allí; porque he aquí el reino de Dios está entre vosotros.
You don’t have to live in the domain of this world.
Living in the World system is: Fear, anxiety, worry…
These things are the “root” of sin.
This is what the bible calls in the greek ANOMIA
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
7 Porque ya está en acción el misterio de la iniquidad; sólo que hay quien al presente lo detiene, hasta que él a su vez sea quitado de en medio.
23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
23 Y entonces les declararé: Nunca os conocí; apartaos de mí, hacedores de maldad.
When you do what Jesus said: Repent and be Baptized then you step out of the world system.
You are literally uprooted from Iniquity
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
14 quien se dio a sí mismo por nosotros para redimirnos de toda iniquidad y purificar para sí un pueblo propio, celoso de buenas obras.
Leaving the World system for The Kingdom of GOD
Leaving the World system for The Kingdom of GOD
18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
18 Andando Jesús junto al mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en el mar; porque eran pescadores.
19 Y les dijo: Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres.
20 Ellos entonces, dejando al instante las redes, le siguieron.
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
17 porque el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida, sino justicia, paz y gozo en el Espíritu Santo.
Stepping into the Kingdom is stepping into a realm of FAITH!
Living in the Kingdom if doing the will of GOD (His Righteousness)
Zeal, Fidelity, Obedience
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
22 And Samuel said, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
14 Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, para testimonio a todas las naciones; y entonces vendrá el fin.
