LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING!

Romans 14: 17 says: “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

No matter what the circumstances, good or bad, the Holy Spirit within us releases the unchanging state of the kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

No circumstances on earth can ever change the true state of the heavenly kingdom within us. Even in our frailty, even when we are afraid and fearful, Christ within us never changes. The living water that flows from His kingdom within us never changes.

Psalm 46:1-5 says: “ God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.”

The joy coming from God’s kingdom is not at all dependent on good and prosperous times. This river is miraculous. All we have to do is dwell in it.

Psalm 91:1 says: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Verse 7 says: “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.” Fathers, we must teach our children this amazing truth so they will not let fear and heartache destroy them.

So many young people are disillusioned and afraid of what the future holds for them. Instead of their resorting to alcohol, drugs, and suicide, we must lead them to the river of life that is filled with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Be encouraged.
