Now Is the Time to Demonstrate the Kingdom

By Dr. Bill Hamon

This is the time, more than ever, for the saints of God to get free of hindrances, bad habits and limitations that keep us from our destiny.  Knowing Christ Jesus only as Savior, Healer, Baptizer, Provider, etc. is no longer sufficient!  We must now know Him also as King of kings, Lord of our lives and the Commander of the Lord's army.

We get healed, matured, set free and equipped so that we can take the gospel of the Kingdom to a world that needs a demonstration of the lordship of Christ.  The gifts of the Spirit are not toys for the saints to play with in church.  They are mighty weapons of war!  God has provided them so we can take territories and nations and disciple people into a full knowledge of Jesus Christ.  Church, we've got to quit playing around and get serious!  Let's not bury our talent in the ground out of fear.  Jesus commands us to occupy until He comes! 

According to missions experts nearly 40% of the world's population has never heard the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ died for their sins and was resurrected that all who believe on Him may have eternal life.  A much greater number has not seen a demonstration of the gospel of the Kingdom, that Christ paid the price for our physical and emotional healing, deliverance from every evil power and bondage, and everything we need for life and godliness, on earth today (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24). 

God wants to demonstrate, now, through His Church, that Christ Jesus has spoiled the principalities and powers, making a mockery of them, and that He is the rightful King of kings and Lord of lords (Colossians 2:15; 1Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:15-16).  He is assuring this generation of the Church that we can drive out and subdue all the "isms" of this world as we co-labor with Christ in making the kingdoms of this world to become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ.

Saints of God, pull out the full armor of God from its hiding place in the back of your closets, put it on, and join His mighty Army!  Get the "Chicken Little" fear out of your heart - you're an eagle, not a chicken!  Spread your wings and soar into heavenly realms you have never known before.  Heaven is watching and waiting for the generation that will fulfill God's command to demonstrate the gospel of the Kingdom.  Let's be the ones!
