If kingdom was a loaf of bread, love would be the flour of which it is made. The primary ingredient of the kingdom of God is love.
Bread cannot be made without some grain or seed being ground into flour. Without flour you cannot have bread; without love there is no kingdom of God.

 

The kingdom of God begins with love, functions by love, and is held together by love. God is love. It is God’s love that draws mankind back to Him and into His kingdom rule of love. It is by love that all the many parts of the kingdom work together in perfect order, each part supplying its portion in the whole kingdom body of God’s kingdom on earth and in heaven.

All of the ingredients of heaven’s life on earth fit together in perfect harmony by the love and wisdom of God flowing from the throne of God into every true believer on earth through Christ Jesus in the Holy Spirit of God. There is no other source of the pure holy love of God that cleanses and transforms fallen natural man and earth into the kingdom of God. It is though the way of the cross and the resurrected life of Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit indwelling human beings that the kingdom of God’s love is established on Planet Earth.

Worldwide Process of Becoming the Kingdom of God

One can make many different types of bread my adding various other ingredients, but you cannot make bread without flour. So it is with the kingdom of God there are many various parts of the kingdom of God. Many different types and flavors of people, works, gifts, abilities, and anointings make up the kingdom of God. Yet it all fits together under the Spirit umbrella of the life and rule of God, the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit.

The great love of God brings the great diversity of the many parts together in perfect harmony in one body under ONE HEAD. Christ Jesus is the only head of the Body of Christ ruling and reigning on earth.

The Spirit kingdom of God is foreign to the fallen world. Both the secular-minded and the religious-minded worlds cannot hear or see the kingdom of God. The strong worldwide effect of the enemy’s darkness has blinded the minds of the masses of people to the light of the true kingdom of God on earth.

The invasion of the light of the love of God is consuming the hearts and lives of His people on earth. Our old lives are passing away and being ground into the flour of the love of God from which the bread of the kingdom is on earth as it is in heaven. The fire of the oven of His presence that has come to earth is perfecting the life of the kingdom now in His people. The same fire that produces the purity of the kingdom in His people, consumes or dissolves all that is not of God in this world.

The darkness is passing away.

We see today the great darkness becoming more evil and more blatantly evident. Mixtures are being dissolved as either the darkness completely takes over the people or the light of the love of God totally rules in the people. The separation must take place as the hearts of the evil ones who will not turn to God are hardened until it becomes impossible for them to continue to pretend and mask their darkness.

As the purity and holiness of the presence of Christ Jesus fills the hearts and lives of His people, the contrast of those of the darkness and those of the light becomes clearly visible. The separation between light and darkness becomes evident and the divide becomes wider. The people of darkness hate the light and will seek to destroy the people of light, thus sealing their own destruction.

The dissolving of all evil will cleanse the earth in preparation for the precious seed people of the kingdom to shine forth as the sun to grow the new world of the kingdom of God on earth. The Body of Christ under the perfect headship of its one Head, Christ Jesus, Savior, Lord and King.

“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32.

2. HE HAS COME
By Henry Falcone

Why has our wilderness time seemed so long? What has God been after? I heard the Lord answer like this, “A people! I desire to bring forth a Holy Nation, a Royal Priesthood of full grown sons to redeem the Earth.

It has taken the Lord 2000 years or 2 prophetic days to begin to bring forth his full grown sons and daughters to restore them to their dominion position of ruling and reigning with him.

Up to this point many have known Jesus as our savior full of grace and mercy and have some of his working in their lives but still are struggling to get to the finish line. How will we ever be made complete and finished to rule and reign with Him, if we stay at the same course and speed in our walk with the Lord? We won’t!

HE HAS COME AGAIN – THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB!

There has to be another divine intervention of the Lord to finish us, and there is, and its time of intervention is now. It is called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Beloved, Jesus has come again but not like the first time. This time he has come to finish the work within His people. His glory is going to be seen in His temple. In the first three chapters of Revelation we see the coming of Jesus to His people to be revealed in His people as the Alpha and Omega God.

He has come with a word of repentance and correction. He has come with promises to all those who will hear what the spirit of God says to the church, repent, and overcome all he is correcting in us.

Beloved, he knows we can’t do it without him. So he has come to appear in all those who will hear the knock of the door of their heart and enter this marriage supper with him as found in Rev 3:20. He will come in and sup with us and bring with him a Baptism of Fire that will complete us.

Beloveds, He has come to burn up everything else of this life, this world that is not of God. All of it that remains in us will be burned out of us. He has come to bring the reality of the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus in his full grown sons and daughters.

Romans 8:1-2: “Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”

HE WILL BE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT

The process of sanctification that begins when we are saved must come to completion in us as full grown sons and daughters of God.

That is why the word of God says in Phil 1:6: “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Notice the words “will bring it to completion.” This is why it is so important to understand the moment in time in which we live. The disciples had to wait or “tarry in Jerusalem” until they were endued with power from on high.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit was given not just to give gifts, power, and anointing, but to burn the holy love of God in our hearts and purify us for his complete ruler-ship in us as Lord of Lords as he did with his disciples in their day.

Everything changed in the lives of these disciples when the baptism of the Holy Spirit came and they were filled from above. This baptism of the Holy Spirit started that work of sanctification 2000 years ago, but it has seemed to run out unti[ the end of the 2nd day church age in Revelation 1-3.

The wedding at Cana and the miracle Jesus did there speaks to the end time church need because the wine of the Spirit has run out. As Jesus did a miracle there and changed water to wine, as a divine intervention at the wedding feast, He is now doing in us as we enter the time of the marriage supper of the lamb.

At the end of the church age Jesus is standing at the door and knocking on the hearts of “any man” for him to come in?

I thought I already had Jesus in my heart? You do, but perhaps only seen as the Alpha God and not the Omega God that has come to complete you. He is knocking at the door of our hearts to invite us to come and sup with him and him with us.

THE INVITATION AND THE KNOCK ON OUR DOOR

This is the invitation into the marriage supper of the lamb. This marriage supper brings with it not only a deeper intimate relationship with Jesus as savior, but it brings us into the full manifestation of His glory as King and Lord with a baptism of Holy Fire to finish us.

So powerful is this intimate call that we are literally lifted up out of the natural to enter the door in heaven in the Spirit as Rev. 4:1 to behold and live before the very throne of God.

It is this seeing Jesus as the one seated on the throne that is going to bring forth the Baptism of Holy fire in our hearts that will FINISH US as Phil 1:6 declares. Paul writes that Jesus through the Holy Spirit started the work, the Holy Spirit Final Fire will complete us.

In Revelation Chapter 2:12-17, we read how John beholds Jesus standing in the midst of the 7 churches or the complete church age preparing us now for the 7th day Kingdom age that is now here.

THE BRIDEGROOM OF THE MARRIAGE SUPPER

This is the Jesus we are now called to meet at the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is Jesus who when we open the door to let him in to sup with us will come like fire in us and lift us up into his finishing power work to become full grown sons and daughter to rule and reign with him on the Earth.

John, fell like a dead man, but read what Jesus tells him in Revelation 1:17-19.

Two things of extreme importance we must see in these verse. We must see that He is the Alpha God who has saved us and now He is revealing Himself to His people as the Omega God who will complete us.

He says to John as a war trumpet: I am the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega. Why does he have to say this to John?

Because beloveds,  He must reveal himself to him as the Omega God, The Lord of all Lords, and King of all Kings in His full glory and majesty. John must see this revelation to show us and write to us of God’s finishing work to complete us.

Phil 1:6 tells us that he who has begun the good work will be faithful to complete it in us. How does he do this? He does this in the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Alpha and Omega God.

As the Author, the First, and the Beginning, we have known Jesus as our Savior, the starter of this work who forgave our sins and gave us new life in him, and to some degree we know him as Lord. Now Jesus has come to reveal himself as the Finisher to not only give us hope we will be made complete, but the power and reality in us that we WILL ACTUALLY BE made complete!

The last book of the Bible is not called the book of revelations, it is called THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST! At the end of the church age and the beginning of the 7th day Kingdom age we must have a BRAND NEW REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST AS HE TRULY IS NOW! THE KING OF GLORY! THE FINISHER!

THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

WE MUST COME INTO THIS EXPERIENCE AND INTIMACY WITH JESUS AS HE IS NOW BEING SEEN! This experience, this intervention of Jesus in our lives IS GOING TO FINISH the work He started in us and bring the reality of the law of the Spirit of life in us that will forever free us from the law of sin and death.

This law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me…. from the law of sin and death. How? Paul writes: “For what the law could not do, Jesus did as the perfect offering for those sins.”

Full grown sons and daughters are going to reveal on the Earth the FINISHING WORK OF JESUS. The glory of the Lord is going to fill his temple, His body!

As we open the doors of our hearts to fellowship with Jesus in this new day and in this Kingdom reality we are being changed from glory to glory. We are being made complete each and every day as we behold the King of Glory face as in a mirror.

We will be transfigured with His glory until every spot, blemish and wrinkle is removed from our lives. The glory of the Lord will be seen on us and fill the entire Earth. Nations will be coming to our arising as Isaiah 60 declares.

BAPTISM OF FIRE: THE OMEGA GOD!

John the Baptist declared this finishing work though it has been veiled to us until now. It is hidden in Matthew 3:11: ″I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.”

Those who have experienced the Baptism of the Spirit understand to some degree the work of sanctification that He has come to do in our hearts. But, for many sons and daughters of God without another intervention of the Lord it seems like the work of sanctification can never be finished.

So what does God the Father do? He sends Jesus again spiritually to come and knock at the door of anyone who will listen for his voice? He sends Jesus veiled to us to knock on the door of our heart to see who is willing to go out and meet the bridegroom.

He has sent Jesus to bring a deeper revelation of Himself to us that He will come to burn within us with feet like burning brass until we are completed! But he comes with a knock at the door to see who will open it. The call is to all of us, but how many will hear it and open it to behold the Omega God, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory?

MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN

Many people in the church today are blind to him standing there and our deaf and cannot hear his knock, because they are still busy doing church business, or their own business, and not awakened to the Kingdom of God message and power that is at hand and coming forth now.

Yet His full grown sons and daughters who are awakening to this knock and they are opening the door to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb with him. They are experiencing the Lord in his glory and power like never before.

They are inviting him in to sup with them daily. The Jesus we see in the book of Revelation chapter 1 has come into them with feet like burning bronze and eyes like fire to come and finish the work of sanctification in us he has promised to do in them.

They have an assurance of the Spirit that He will complete His work in them and they are now arising to their feet with great anticipation of what is to come upon the Earth.  Isn’t that glorious!?

Beloveds without this end-time intervention of Jesus as the Consuming Fire of God we won’t be finished in time. So He who has started this work in us has come NOW TO COMPLETE IT EVEN TO THE DAY OF CHRIST.

UNITED TO THE HEAD

He has come to be united as the Head to full grown sons and daughters who have made themselves ready for his full reign in their hearts. Their hearts are open for the full establishment of his kingdom in their hearts so they can establish His Kingdom on the Earth. Glory!

Let us open our hearts again today to this FINISHING WORK OF JESUS. Let’s invite him in to sup with us so the Baptism of Holy Fire can fully complete us as purify as the Priests of God.

Then we can bring the Lord offerings of Righteousness as Malachi prophesied we would in Malachi 3. Then we will and be permitted to wear that wedding gown given to the bride to wear in Revelation 19:7-8.

Then we will be ready to hear the things that are to come after as we are now seated with Jesus in heavenly places.

Ephesians 2:6-7: “And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus, 7 [and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the immeasurable and unsurpassed riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus [by providing for our redemption].”

Let us at once ask God to open our ears to hear to Jesus’ divine knock at our door. Let us invite Him as the Omega Finishing God to come in and finish us to a bride without spot or wrinkle. Let us invite him in as the Baptism of Holy Fire to complete us as full grown sons and daughters, priests and kings of the Lord Most High!
