THE REVELATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

The Bible teaches us that the Lord came into the world not only to save us but to establish His kingdom (Mt 4:17).

In the gospels, we see the Lord teach with insistence and urgency about His kingdom (Luke 13: 18-31). Although John the Baptist had come to prepare the way and announce the Kingdom of God (Mt 3: 1-2), Jesus explains that the smallest in His Kingdom is greater than John the Baptist (Mt 11:11).

To be part of His kingdom, we must first see and enter it to later announce it and establish it in the Ferra (Jn. 3: 3). This is only possible when we have a revelation such as the one Peter had when he understood and confessed who the Lord Jesus was (Mt 16:17).

When the Kingdom of God is revealed to us ... Jesus taught much about the Kingdom of God. We could say that this was his main teaching while walking on the Ferra more than two thousand years ago. Jesus declared that His kingdom had come and that His kingdom was in our midst. (Mt 16:17, Mar 1:15, Luke 4:43, Luke 17:21)

We understand what it means to be children of God. Rather than becoming Christians, God wants to make us His children. Peter had a revelation of who Jesus was: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." When we understand who Jesus is, we understand what it means to be adopted children of God through faith in Jesus. (Mt 16:16, Rom 8:17, Gal 3:26)

We receive authority. The church is made up of the children of God. When the church receives revelation of who Jesus is, the church receives authority over principalities, powers and even over the gates of Hades. How important it is for the church to understand the message of the Kingdom of God! (Mt 16: 18-19)

We can manifest it. The Kingdom of God is manifested when the will of God is established in Ferra as in heaven. God's will is established when we obey His word and operate according to His order and authority. The revelation of His word and our obedience to that revelation is what allows us to manifest to the world that we are children of God. (Mt 6:10, Mar 9: 1, Luke 19: 11-27, 1 Cor 4:20, Luke 9:11, Luke 11:20)

We show obedience and not just familiarity. There is a big difference between being obedient to the Lord and simply being familiar with His kingdom and his commandments. The word warns that many fail to enter the Kingdom of God because they do not go through "the narrow gate." This refers to receiving His grace, following His commandments; and seek His will in all areas of our life. God intends to establish His kingdom in our life, health, family, work, community, church and every area. (Lk 13: 23-30, Jn 6: 41-42)
