In the last teaching we looked at how the Kingdom of God came, and understood through the Parable of the Sower and the seed that the Kingdom of God was sown into our hearts through the word of God, and expands as that word increases. In this teaching we are exploring the furtherance of the Kingdom. The Kingdom moves through us as we share this word. Christ gave his word to the disciples, and the disciples began to proclaim it on the day of Pentecost. As that word is sown the Kingdom advances.
The media of the Kingdom is the Lord Jesus Christ. As he is revealed, this media of Him is proclaimed in the earth. From his work as he did as he walked the shores of Galilee to the cross, and to the fullness of God in Christ. This media or Word is declared throughout the earth. May God fill the earth with His Glory!

In Luke 17:20-21 Jesus declares to the Pharisees the Kingdom of God is within you. He declares it does not come with observation, but behold it is within you. The question we should ask and seek from our Father, is how does the Kingdom of God come? Many of us have looked for the Kingdom of God to physically appear before us, whatever our concept may be.
To understand the coming of the Kingdom let us consider the very powerful words of Jesus in the Parable of the Sower and the Seed. You can find the parable of the sower and seed in Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8. Jesus says within this parable that He is speaking of the "Mystery of the Kingdom of God."
Mark 4:10"And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."
We could come to the conclusion through here that the seed of the parable produces Gods Kingdom. Remember Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within you to the Pharisees. How it gets within us is that that a seed is sown in our hearts, according to the parable of the Sower and the Seed. The seed that is sown is the Word of God.
Luke 8: 11"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God."
Jesus also shows the Kingdom through the parable of the Mustard seed, which is the smallest of seeds when it is sown. This mustard seed starts out as least of all seeds, but when it grows up it becomes greater than all the herbs. Through these parables He is showing that a seed (the Word of God) is sown in our hearts to grow up, or produce from the seed within us. If we can hear it, the Kingdom comes through this sown seed that is sown into the hearts of men, and as it grows the man it is sown in begins to be influenced by the Kingdom of God and brings forth the fruit of the Kingdom within them.
Hebrews 12 says we receiving a Kingdom. Again this shows we receive. It comes within us as we receive that of Christ Jesus our Lord. From the scriptures it appears not to simply be God's mind that we receive the Seed, but that we bring forth fruit (fruit of the Spirit). Prayerfully look at the scripture concerning the parables before the Lord. Blessings!

At the end of Ephesians 1 is a very powerful introduction of the King of the Kingdom of God. Jesus has all dominion, authority, and power and desires to express that through His Body, which is the church. In this sharing we are beginning to explore the Kingdom of God, and the King we that are His have to do with.

This sharing is a more in depth look at Matthew 24:35 "His word shall not pass away." In this sharing we look at the New Covenant set forth in the words of Jesus, along with the out pouring of the Holy Spirit. In Isaiah 59 it was declared that the Lord's Covenant would be His Spirit and His Words. He had placed His Spirit and His words within a Seed and this Covenant would flow throughout the Seed to the Seed's Seed, and onward. This Covenant came to pass in Jesus Christ, who had the Spirit without measure, and poured out the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. The Words of Christ flowed from Him to His disciples, and are flowing through the believers today. "Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Jesus declared that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life throughout the gospels.

What did Jesus mean in Matthew 24:35, when He said "35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" In this sharing I am considering His Word shall not pass away. I believe His Words are the Words of the New Covenant that was put in force through His death, burial and resurrection. This is a powerful understanding that the Lord began to show me over the last couple of years. I pray this is a blessings to His Body!

In this sharing we are looking at the scripture in Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." What does Jesus mean by this? What Heaven is passing? Have you considered that in the Bible it speaks of more than one Heaven? Also, have you considered that God said through Isaiah Heaven is my throne? As a throne it would be necessary to have a King and a rule of Government. In the Old Covenant God ruled through the law of Moses given on Sinai. Through Christ he made a New Covenant, and brought forth a Word of Covenant upon the earth.

Thisis the 5th teaching on Heaven. As I have asked early on in these tachings. In your view of Heaven, How many have a view of a slain lamb in the midst of the throne? Could this be the view of the Government of God, and how God now Governs His people? The slain lamb - The Lord Jesus Christ!
The Apostle Paul said in his writings, "I have determined to know nothing among you but Christ and Him crucified." Paul had a Heavenly Vision! Paul declared a Heavenly Vision!

I am Wayne Shelton the Pastor of New Life Tabernacle, a gathering of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ located in Culpeper, VA. I have been in Ministry for over 20 years and declare the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Body of Christ. The aim and purpose of Ministry is to edify the Body of Christ, that the believer may grow in the knowledge of the Lord and come to the full stature of the Son of God as declared in Ephesians Chapter 3. The heart of this Ministry is that the believer may come to an inward knowing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not simply that Christ is my heart, which is a part of the knowing, but the full measure of what He is within us, which operates to conform us and transform us into His very nature and character by the Word of God and the working of the Spirit of the Lord.
Colossians 2:9&10 "9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:"
Colossians 2 is a very powerful scripture, declaring the believer’s completion in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, many believers do not feel complete, or understand the work the Lord did on the cross. From Sunday to Sunday many believers struggle, not understanding the depth and degree of the work of the cross. It is our aim to bring you into this fellowship of God’s dear Son and His Work that He completed on the cross. Paul declared "That I might know Him, and the power of His Resurrection." His desire was that believers' hearts would turn from world, including religion to a heart that would cry, “I might know Him!” With this turning, there is an assurance that the Lord will give us the desires of the heart. So, understanding that He becomes our desire, the Lord Jesus will fill us with Himself with the very essence and nature of Him that we may know the greatness of our salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord, and declare it in the earth.
May the Lord Jesus be declared and manifested in His Body, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ
