The Unshakeable Kingdom

Blog In Audio:

Greetings,

What should our focus be as we lead others in being the body of Christ. When things start shaking in our world, we often put our focus on a shaking world. Our focus should never be upon the things that shake in our world. Our focus should be upon heavenly things. It should be upon the kingdom of God that cannot be shaken by the kingdoms of our world. That kingdom is not just a kingdom coming in the future. It is a constantly coming kingdom working in our hearts (Lk. 17:20, 21). God speaks to us internally. He speaks to us from the realm of the kingdom of heaven, a kingdom within us that empowers our natural kingdoms to increasingly become kingdoms of our Lord and Christ.

Hebrews 12:25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

God’s voice in our lives is not a voice of information. It is a voice of transformation! God’s voice reveals a testimony of His refining fire. His fire doesn’t destroy us, it destroys the things that cannot give us life. We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken. That kingdom is within us and Christ in us empowers us to experience internal and external realities in supernatural ways that cause the natural expressions of our lives to reveal a testimony of God’s glory to our world.

Leaders in the body of Christ lead members of the body of Christ to not be shaken when the world around them shakes. This is only possible by knowing God’s mercy and grace. We must know the power of the cross and the power of Christ in His resurrection. These are two events. They are two comings of the Lord for all men. His first coming was a coming for the judgment of sin. This was His death upon our cross that gave mercy to us all.

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

It is appointed for all men to die once for the judgment of the flesh. Jesus died once for us all and has reconciled us to God as our Father, even while we were still sinners. All people are called to live as members of the living body of Christ because Jesus has made a way to free us all from our bodies of sin and death.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Jesus died once for us all and His death justified all people to live. Since we have been justified to live, we must seek His manifest presence in our lives to be empowered to live. We are justified to live by His death, but we can only be saved by the reality of His life in us. His coming to us in our world has enabled us to come to Him in the reality of His eternal kingdom. His first coming enables us to embrace His second coming by the resurrection power and life of His Spirit. He has sent His Spirit into our lives in His name – the name that is above all other names (Jn. 14:26; 15:26).
