Reproducing the Kingdom

Glory to God!

These are truly exciting times! The Lord is teaching us to live the Kingdom life wherever we are and He is showing us how He wants us to walk in holiness.God is revealing that there is a process that needs to take place if we are to produce the fruit of the Kingdom. The process requires the believer to move from understanding God's truth to believing it, to accepting it, to living it and finally to reproducing it. Click here and read "Be imitators of God" for a more detailed outline of this process. 

Applying this essential process to our lives, the Lord showed us on Sunday that in order for the believer to reproduce the life of God, s/he must learn to die to sin and self. Having been united to Christ and therefore to both His death and life, the believer must realise Christ's death and resurrection in his or her own life on a daily basis. Paul writes,

"The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Romans 6:10,11

Unless the believer dies to sin, to the past and to self s/he cannot reproduce the Kingdom.

On Saturday KLF took part in "Global Outreach Day" (G.O.D.). It was a day on which our people opened their homes, invited neighbours, spent time with unbelievers, went out on the streets in Frankfurt, prayed for people and simply positioned themselves to be used of God to impart love and life to those who are separated from God. We were excited to hear testimonies of the openness of people to receive the Good News and prayer and about the opportunities we had to demonstrate the Father's love in many different ways.

On Sunday evening we had another opportunity to minister the Father's love to the homeless and needy in Frankfurt at our monthly soup kitchen. It was great to see many people respond to God's Word and again for the openness of people to receive prayer and encouragement. Glory to God!

"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Romans 6:4

The Shout of the King

Glory to God!

We are preparing for the Global Outreach Day (G.O.D.) on the 2nd June and yesterday Steve Greenhill presented this exciting venture and inspired us to be part of what is going to be a worldwide day of seeking to save the Lost and reconciling people to the Father. 

The Lord is teaching us about the nature of His Kingdom so that we will live the Kingdom life wherever we are. Yesterday the Lord showed us that His dominion is a Kingdom of blessing.

• Having received the gift of righteousness through faith in Christ, the believer has access to God's abundant grace. Rom. 5:1,2
• As the righteousness of God through Christ, the believer is an object of God's blessing. John 1:16; Gal. 3:13,14
• The believer is called to be an agent of blessing as an ambassador of the Kingdom of blessing. James 3:9-12; Rom. 12:14
• God's people are a blessed people. Numbers 22:12
• To curse someone is to denounce him and dishonour him (not treat as valuable). Numbers 23:8
• When we judge, criticize, and slander others, we curse them because we hold their "sin" against them. However God does not hold our sin against us and expects His people to be just as merciful and gracious as He is. Numbers 23:21; Matthew 6:14,15; John 3:17; 2 Cor. 5:19
• God wants His blessed people to be a people of blessing who live to bless others. 
• Blessing creates a culture of honour!
• The foundation of God's Kingdom is mercy and grace from which His blessing flows! 
• God is calling His people to rise up like a lion with the roar of blessing - the shout of the King. Numbers 23:21-24
• God's people must overcome the spirit of this world with the opposite Spirit of the Kingdom!
• When the believer blesses others, he releases Heaven on earth, bringing God's Kingdom of blessing into this world.

In the evening our team of 17 people ministered God's love and blessing to over 100 homeless and needy people in Frankfurt city. We praise God for His grace upon this ministry and for the salvation, healing and deliverance of people we witness every month. Glory to God!

Quote of the week:

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit." Gal. 3:13,14

Walking with God

Glory to God!

On Sunday the Lord spoke to us about reflecting His presence in the difficult and troubled times that the world is increasingly finding itself in. Looking at the example of Noah, the Lord showed us how Noah feared the Lord. This is what God showed us:

• Noah's faith influenced his life as he aligned himself to God and His purposes.
• Noah was spiritually aligned and therefore mentally focused, emotionally connected and physically engaged.
• Noah's faith came out of his walk with God as he lived his life in the fear of the Lord.

As the Day of the Lord hastens on, the Church must reflect the presence of God as she walks in the fear of the Lord and lives by faith.

We praise God for continuing to teach us to fear Him. Lives are being changed in His presence and we are excited about the ever-increasing manifestation of His presence, power and love! Hallelujah! This Saturday Alexander Blair will be leading a Prophecy Seminar. For more info click here

Quote of the week:

"By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith." Hebrews 11:7

More of His Glory!

Praise the Lord!

God is continuing to teach us about seeing His glory and He is revealing Himself to us more and more. On Sunday God spoke to us about encountering Him in the fullness of His glory - His love, His compassion, His faithfulness, His forgiveness, His mercy (Ex. 33,34) to allow Him to replace any distorted views of Him that are based on our own experiences in life rather than on His revelation of Himself. Where we have experienced unfaithfulness and failing love in our relationships, a barrier of fear is formed that hinders us from seeing God's true faithfulness and unfailing love. Therefore the Lord encouraged us to seek His glory in order to remove any hindrances of fear so that we will walk in confidence and boldness in His love and faithfulness. We praise God for the many lives that were touched and healed as we encountered God's love and faithfulness! Hallelujah!

We are very pleased and blessed to have two students from Kingdom Faith College (Horsham, England) with us. They are a great team supporting the exisiting ministry of KLF and also being part of some other exciting ventures that have included street evangelism, prayer walking in Frankfurt, helping the poor and needy, and simply being a great blessing to us and this city! We praise God for Kingdom Faith College and the excellent work they are doing.

Quote of the week:

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear..." 1 John 4:16-18

True Revival

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ!

These are awesome times of refreshing! God is revealing Himself to us through spiritual understanding, wisdom and knowledge so that we are filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Hallelujah!

Yesterday the Lord showed us what true revival is and He revealed to us that:

Revival is God saturating His people with Himself.

• When the Spirit of God drenches man with His presence, power and love; man responds in his spirit, soul (mind, heart and will) and body.
• Revival is God's connecting heaven and earth.
• God's people are revived as they release God's Spirit within them to be connected to heaven (Gen. 7:11; Mt 3:13-17; Acts 19:1-6).
• Faith connects heaven and earth.

Consequently, a revived people overflow with God and reveal His nature and release His power. Hallelujah!

The Lord confirmed His Word yesterday as everyone was drenched in the Holy Spirit and saturated with God! Praise be to our wondeful King who has lavished His love upon us!
