The kingdom comes into our hearts through a born again experience. The king of Glory moves in and reigns over the domain and we reign in this life. Thy will be done. What’s God’s will? God’s will is to move into our hearts, supplying us with divine strength to reign with Him in and through out lives.
Paul said in the Corinthian letter, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels. He was speaking of the treasure in earthen vessels. The kingdom is a treasure. Jesus said it was, in the first parable.
The Revelation and the 2nd chapter of Acts show us Pentecost. “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were in accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues as of fire and it sat upon each one of them.”
Let’s go back to the Revelation and read: “there were voices”. The fourth verse of the second chapter of Acts said they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak. The Revelation said: “there were voices”. Then secondly, there were thunders ( in the Old Testament) a symbol of the presence of God. Back on Sinai, it thundered and it lightened. We first see lightning and then hear thunder as an aftermath. So on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost came, the Scripture said the house was filled first and then they were filled. He filled the whole house. Just a few days before Jesus left, they went walking up the street with Him. Everything was quiet and the children recognized Him and said, “Hosanna to the King, Hallelujah!” Peter tried to quiet them through the Saviour, but later when the Holy Spirit came, they accused Him of being drunk. You cannot smother the Holy Spirit or He will leave you.
In Christ’s letter to the Laodiceans, He called Himself the Amen of God. That’s what the Church is to be, the Amen of God. The Spirit of God within you, will amen the Word. He’s a witness of the truth. About all the preachers are shooting any more, is blanks. That’s why nobody ever gets hit. The Bible truth is “live ammunition”. Somebody is “liable to get hurt”.
When the Spirit of God hits the old dried up soul of man there will be some kind of reaction. Thunder is an aftermath of an understanding of the light that God gives. We are told there was lightning and then thundering. And we’re told in the 2nd chapter of Acts, that Peter stood up and “began to thunder”. What about? He gave out the light that Joel had prophesied hundreds of years before. [ The End ]
