Having Eyes To See And Ears To Hear



Mat 6:10 ASV - Thy KINGDOM come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
I want to speak about the current church today, I believe there are men and women that are seeking the will of God in their life's every day.  And than there are some that do not even know the fullness of the gospel that is for them and their families.  The word of God was written for you and every one that believes . There is a misconception of who has the truth or who has the authority to deliver  that truth.  The word says that when Jesus ascended into heaven and he gave gifts unto men .    The word gift here is not only a gift as we know but it is a benefit of Gods grace to his people ,   It is not the person ministering the gift it is grace Gods love unto his children.    1Cr 12:7 ASV - But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.   There is no debate here the fact is to receive Gods blessing you must receive his spirit ,  and his spirit comes with power and a life changing experience.  The bible says to repent of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost .   Is his power in you do you hunger for his presence and his word.  I pray you have, there is an emptiness and a void a wonder of doubt in those that has followed another gospel .  Act 19:1 ASV - And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:           Paul heard these men speak and knew they lacked power in there life's.
Act 19:2 ASV - and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given].  This is the what the church as a whole is experiencing today , yes it is for you and to all your children and to as many as the Lord God shall call.
Act 19:3 ASV - And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Act 19:4 ASV - And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. Repentance must come first  .   Mat 3:11 ASV - I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and [in] fire:
Mat 3:12 ASV - whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
John had to come first and than Jesus .
Act 19:5 ASV - And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6 ASV - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.  Here is where the gifts of God comes into your life's
Act 19:7 ASV - And they were in all about twelve men.  Hbr 11:6 ASV - And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.     For he that cometh to God must believe that he is !  Men must first believe that there is a God.      And than by faith believe his promises.

1Cr 12:8 ASV - For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:
1Cr 12:9 ASV - to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
1Cr 12:10 ASV - and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Cr 12:11 ASV - but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
1Cr 12:12 ASV - For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
1Cr 12:13 ASV - For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1Cr 12:14 ASV - For the body is not one member, but many.                    Eph 4:7 ASV - But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8 ASV - Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:10 ASV - He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Eph 4:11 ASV - And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 ASV - for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:  Here is the word perfecting and it is in reference to his people saints.
Eph 4:13 ASV - till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

KINGDOM   Greek: basileia

Kingdom:
is primarily an abstract noun, denoting "sovereignty, royal power, dominion," e.g., Rev 17:18, translated "(which) reigneth," lit., "hath a kingdom" (RV marg.); then, by metonymy, a concrete noun, denoting the territory or people over whom a king rules, e.g., Mat 4:8; Mar 3:24. It is used especially of the "kingdom" of God and of Christ.

"The Kingdom of God is

(a) the sphere of God's rule, Psa 22:28; 145:13; Dan 4:25; Luk 1:52; Rom 13:1, 2. Since, however, this earth is the scene of universal rebellion against God, e.g., Luk 4:5, 6; 1Jo 5:19; Rev 11:15-18, the "kingdom" of God is

(b) the sphere in which, at any given time, His rule is acknowledged. God has not relinquished His sovereignty in the face of rebellion, demoniac and human, but has declared His purpose to establish it, Dan 2:44; 7:14; 1Cr 15:24, 25. Meantime, seeking willing obedience, He gave His law to a nation and appointed kings to administer His "kingdom" over it, 1Ch 28:5. Israel, however, though declaring still a nominal allegiance shared in the common rebellion, Isa 1:2-4, and, after they had rejected the Son of God, Jhn 1:11 (cp. Mat 21:33-43), were "cast away," Rom 11:15, 20, 25. Henceforth God calls upon men everywhere, without distinction of race or nationality, to submit voluntarily to His rule. Thus the "kingdom" is said to be "in mystery" now, Mar 4:11, that is, it does not come within the range of the natural powers of observation, Luk 17:20, but is spiritually discerned, Jhn 3:3 (cp. 1Cr 2:14). When, hereafter, God asserts His rule universally, then the "kingdom" will be in glory, that is, it will be manifest to all; cp. Mat 25:31-34; Phl 2:9-11; 2Ti 4:1, 18.

"Thus, speaking generally, references to the Kingdom fall into two classes, the first, in which it is viewed as present and involving suffering for those who enter it, 2Th 1:5; the second, in which it is viewed as future and is associated with reward, Mat 25:34, and glory, Mat 13:43. See also Act 14:22.

"The fundamental principle of the Kingdom is declared in the words of the Lord spoken in the midst of a company of Pharisees, "the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you," Luk 17:21, marg., that is, where the King is, there is the Kingdom. Thus at the present time and so far as this earth is concerned, where the King is and where His rule is acknowledged, is, first, in the heart of the individual believer, Act 4:19; Eph 3:17; 1Pe 3:15; and then in the churches of God, 1Cr 12:3, 5, 11; 14:37; cp. Col 1:27, where for "in" read "among."
 Rom 14:17 ASV - for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.   Love not the world ,   its not about the flesh any more.
1Cr 4:20 ASV - For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Hbr 11:7 ASV - By faith Noah, being warned [of God] concerning things not seen as yet, moved with Godly Fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.   When the door to the Ark slammed shut it sealed Noah and his family unto God and they became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith .  One thing to remember the things of this earth will be destroyed by fire ,   And there will be a new heaven and a new earth,   who will live on the new earth and why has God created a new earth.   Rev 21:1 ASV - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
Rev 21:2 ASV - And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 ASV - And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God: Tabernacle in Greek  the eternal abodes of the saints,  abiding
Rev 21:4 ASV - and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 ASV - And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
Rev 21:6 ASV - And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 ASV - He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Mar 1:4 ASV - John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.
Luk 3:3 ASV - And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;  The word baptism is used here of repentance,  to be totally submerged just as in water.  Repentance is a walk every day walk ,  and with out it no man shall see God.    2Cr 7:10 ASV - For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.   What is this sorrow of the world ? repent means A change of mind to change ones mind . Only God can break our hearts with his love for us and when he revels our hearts to negative actions of our walk we become sorrowful and repent .  Now the world is people that have no power to walk in Gods precepts, they have a form of Godliness but no power to over come their sin. So they have a worldly sorrow but no repentance for that sin they are for ever searching for relief with no remedy. 
2Ti 3:5 ASV - holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away.   The power is the promise that Jesus spoke of in the gospels the promise of the Holy Spirit .  Just as in the days of Acts on the day of Pentecost .   I ask people do you have the Holy Spirit most say I am not sure.    1Cr 12:3 ASV - Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.   The only way Jesus can be your Lord is that he dwell in you.  The word says the kingdom of God can not be seen or be observed by the natural mind. The kingdom of God is within you.   Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.    Jhn 3:8 ASV - The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.                                     The kingdom of God is where he rules he is King of that domain. God is etablishing his kingdom right now as we speak , he is building his church his saints .

The word Saints Greek: hagios
Holiness, Holy, Holily:    It is used of men and things (see below) in so far as they are devoted to God. Indeed the quality, as attributed to God, is often presented in a way which involves Divine demands upon the conduct of believers. These are called hagioi, "saints," i.e., "sanctified" or "holy" ones.   This sainthood is not an attainment, it is a state into which God in grace calls men; yet believers are called to sanctify themselves (consistently with their calling, 2Ti 1:9), cleansing themselves from all defilement, forsaking sin, living a "holy" manner of life, 1Pe 1:15; 2Pe 3:11, and experiencing fellowship with God in His holiness. The saints are thus figuratively spoken of as "a holy temple," 1Cr 3:17 (a local church); Eph 2:21 (the whole Church), cp. Eph 5:27; "a holy priesthood," 1Pe 2:5; "a holy nation," 1Pe 2:9.

We must recieve the whole word of God and believe it . Jhn 16:13 ASV - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.  The word ALL here is Nothing Left out all truth.
Act 1:8 ASV - But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Luk 5:32 ASV - I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
2Cr 7:1 ASV - Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Greek: eschatos

Act 1:8 ASV - But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Act 1:3 ASV - To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
Act 1:4 ASV - and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:
Act 1:8 ASV - But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.   The word Uttermost in Greek   eschatos

End, Ending:
"last, utmost, extreme," is used as a noun

(a) of time, rendered "end" in Hbr 1:2, RV, "at the end of these days," i.e., at the "end" of the period under the Law, for AV, "in these last days;" so in 1Pe 1:20, "at the end of the times." In 2Pe 2:20, the plural, ta eschata, lit., "the last things," is rendered "the latter end," AV, (RV, "the last state"); the same phrase is used in Mat 12:45; Luk 11:26;

(b) of place, Act 13:47, AV, "ends (of the earth)," RV, "uttermost part.

According to some this gospel died with the Apostles , Jesus said preach this gospel to the ends of this earth until he returns.  You must be born again !  Born of the water and the Spirit
