To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16 ]
Subject: MY WORD
44And in the time of those kings, the God of
Heaven will establish a kingdom that
shall never be destroyed, a kingdom
that shall not be transferred to another people. It will crush and wipe out all
these kingdoms, but shall itself last forever—45just as you saw how
a stone was hewn from the mountain, not by hands, and crushed the iron, bronze,
clay, silver, and gold. The great God has made known to the king what will
happen in the future. The dream is sure and its interpretation reliable.”
27The kingship and dominion and grandeur
belonging to all the kingdoms under
Heaven will be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High. Their
kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey them.’ ”
2 “Turn
from your sins to God, for the Kingdom
of Heaven is near!”
IN THOSE days there appeared John the
Baptist, preaching in the Wilderness (Desert) of Judea
2 And saying, Repent (think differently; change your mind,
regretting your sins and changing your conduct), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with
life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their
outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves
insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven!
20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness (your uprightness and
your right standing with God) is more than that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will never enter the kingdom of
heaven.
21 “Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven ,
only those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
7 And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!
8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out
demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him,
Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said
unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is
not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away
even that he hath.
About that time the
disciples came to Jesus to ask which of them would be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven !
2Jesus
called a small child over to him and set the little fellow down among them, 3and
said, “Unless you turn to God from your sins and become as little children, you
will never get into the Kingdom of
Heaven. 4Therefore anyone who humbles himself as this little
child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven .
5And any of you who welcomes a little child like this because you
are mine is welcoming me and caring for me.
20One day
the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God
begin?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of
God isn’t ushered in with visible signs. 21You won’t be able to
say, ‘It has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country.’
For the Kingdom of God is within
you.”
17 [After all] the kingdom of God
is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is
righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart]
peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) belongs
not to this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My
followers would have been fighting to keep Me from being handed over to the
Jews. But as it is, My kingdom is
not from here (this world); [it has no such origin or source].
