Sons of the Kingdom

Glory to God!

We are continuing to benefit from the spiritual momentum created by our 21 days of prayer and fasting! Father God is drawing us closer to Him and helping us to live in the fullness of sonship through Christ. Hallelujah!

In his message entitled, "Receiving from God - 5 Barrier Breakers," Alexander spoke to us two weeks ago about 5 barriers to receiving from God: pride, disobedience, unbelief, lack of expectation and ignorance. Looking at various examples in the Bible, Alexander showed us that people received from God when they humbled themselves (James 4:6; 2 Kings 5); when they obeyed God (John 5:1-15); when they had faith (Hebrews 11:11,12); when they had hope and expectation (Matthew 15:21-28); and when they had knowledge (Ephesians 4:18; John 8:31,32).

On Sunday, Richard spoke to us about being sons of the Kingdom. Continuing his series on Sonship, Richard showed us that just as Jesus lived from a different realm as a Son of the Kingdom (Jn 18:36), so the believer has been rescued from the kingdom of darkness and placed in Christ's Kingdom to live as a son of the Kingdom and to produce the fruit of God's Kingdom (Col 1:13; Mt 13:38). Looking at Ephesians 2:1-10 and Isaiah 55, we noted how God's Kingdom is not the kingdom of this world and that the believer must take hold of God's truth by faith if s/he is to begin to grasp the nature of the realm s/he has been placed in. As the believer is marinated in the revelation of God's huperballo realm, so the believer gets pickled and can produce the fruit of the Kingdom. Hallelujah!
