       God DOES have a plan for you and me. 

       It is called the Kingdom of God.

                               What is the KINGDOM of GOD?

   Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 

Jesus went everywhere preaching the GOOD NEWS of the KINGDOM OF GOD. He taught about it in parables and He sent the apostles to preach only the KINGDOM OF GOD. Paul taught about the KINGDOM of GOD.  The prophet Daniel, who lived 600 years before Christ, spoke about the KINGDOM of GOD. 

              What EXACTLY is the KINGDOM of GOD?

Well according to the 'red letter' verse above, we know for certain that to understand the real meaning of the KINGDOM of GOD has a lot to do with 'believing the gospel'.

However what gospel? What is the gospel that Jesus Christ preached? Do you have to believe the gospel to be saved? However, how do you believe in something, unless you know what it is? Some refer to it as the 'gospel of grace', some call it the 'gospel of salvation', and many see the gospel as the 'gospel about Jesus Christ'. Many in the church today see it as their duty to bring the world salvation however if this is true then there is the one question that needs to be asked....................

Why is Satan winning the battle for the 'souls' of the multitudes ? Yet every Christian knows that Satan was defeated when Christ died and was raised from the dead? And what about all the multitudes that existed before Christ? Is this 'Good News' for the world? So how do we understand the REAL meaning of the gospel and how does the 'Good News' relate to the Kingdom of God? Before we can believe the gospel we must understand, what EXACTLY is the KINGDOM of GOD? 

It is simple really, all we have to do is to look closer at what Jesus said, what the apostles preached, what Paul taught and also what Daniel believed that the Kingdom of God really is. Understand what the Kingdom of God is all about and you will then not only understand the gospel but because it is such a wonderful plan that comes from the Creator, you will wonder why it is not taught today. After all, the gospel is the GOOD NEWS about the Kingdom of God. Of course you do have a choice, you can simply stay in confusion, choosing to believe what ever you want about the Kingdom of God, or you can come on a journey with me as I share with you about the power of hope of a promised new life that really is the real mystery of God. We will talk with God through His written Word and gain a greater understanding of the Bible and at the same time becoming aware of the spirit of error that is at work in today's understanding of what the Kingdom of God is, and as we begin to understand the real purpose of the Holy Spirit we can then watch and pray for the return of Christ. All you have to do to join me in this exciting journey, is to take the time to listen to the recordings to the right of this page. Just click on 'Play'.

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 

Paul taught that 'flesh and blood' cannot inherit the Kingdom of God

1Corinthians 15:50 

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

Jesus taught that 'that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit' Why did Jesus also teach that you must be 'Born Again' to inherit the Kingdom of God and yet there are millions of flesh and blood Christians today who are claiming they are 'Born Again'. Those who will be 'Born Again' at the coming of Christ will be like the wind, invisible.  Find out the real truth about just what being 'Born Again', 'the Good News of the Gospel' and the 'Kingdom of God' have in common, listen to the recordings to the right called "The Gospel of the Good News of the Kingdom of God".

“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

  The War Against Reason          

Have you heard the story about the elephant and the 4 blind men? The story goes that the first blind man grabbed hold of the elephant’s trunk and thought it was a big snake. The next one found the ears and thought they were fans. Another found a leg and said it was a tree. Still another took hold of the tail and thought it was a rope. It is certainly rather odd that the idea of truth within the Christian church is much like the story of the elephant and the 4 blind men. After all, while the church is described in the New Testament as the “pillar and foundation of the truth”  (1 Timothy 3:15) and while Jesus also spoke of His people as being sanctified by the truth, (John 17:17) the church today often sees truth as something acquired more through spiritual experiences and personal revelations rather then through a truth arrived at by testing the accuracy of a knowledge gained through a study of the Scriptures. The discernment of what Truth is, has suffered a horrible setback in the church because reason itself has been under attack. Many Christian leaders have discarded the simple facts of the Scriptures in favour of personal experience. In other words, they have replaced one sort of truth with another sort of truth. They have put aside the truth that comes out of rational thought and logic and replaced it with a truth that is perceive by what they are told is truth.  This sort of truth is confirmed within the minds of Christians through personal spiritual experiences. It is a subjective truth, a truth that appears to them as more true then truth itself.  This perceived truth was evident back in the first century church as one such early Christian, a man called Irenaeous who serves as an important link to the Apostles, wrote about a truth that was really error in disguise. Irenaeous was a pupil of Polycarp who was a companion of the Apostle John. Irenaeous said:  

 “Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than the truth itself. (Whom the Lord has enjoined us to be on our guard), and because their language resembles ours, while their sentiments are very different.” 

The truth you feel is of its very nature subjective. The truth you are told relies on your accepting the authority of the messenger. Truth of these kinds can be argued for with conviction, but they cannot be claimed to be objective. As Irenaeous says, the message that appears to be the truth is in fact error, and this error can  easily be confirmed by the simple facts of Scriptures, however because the error is seen by Christians as the ‘truth’ confirmed not by the Scriptures but by their own spiritual experience and because they don’t want to hear the real objective truth they wash their hands of it just as Pilate washed his hands and rejected the truth.  And just as the blind men holding on to the elephant they think that they have hold of the truth. Real Objective truth eludes them, and to suggest that any objective examination of the Scriptures to distinguish truth from error is simply out of step with today’s charismatic Christianity. Consider the way Luke commended the Bereans for their noble-mindedness:  "For they received the word [the New Testament gospel from the apostles] with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures [the Old Testament books] daily, to see whether these things were so" (Acts 17:1 1).  What made the Bereans worthy of commendation? Their eagerness to be discerning. They rightly refused to blindly accept anyone's teaching (even that of the apostles) without clear warrant from God's Word. This is the true test of truth.
