Snatching the Kingdom

"Now, from the days of John the baptist hitherto, the kingdom of the heavens is being violently forced and the violent are snatching it." (Matthew 11:12 CLT)

This verse is certainly not speaking of La-z-boy sitting, bon-bon eating, latest newsletter reading "kingdom" Christians. This bespeaks of a people who walk in a place of Kkingdom authority and exercise that authority wherever they go.

This "authority" can be exercised anywhere, wherever there are things (even spirits) and people that are not in full subjection to the Lord Himself. This is speaking about our walk in the grocery store, at the doctor’s office, and even about things and people in our own homes or on our streets. We don't have to be sent out into "the mission field" to be violently snatching the Kingdom, beloved. WE ARE IN THE MISSION FIELD WHEREVER WE ARE, and we will be there UNTIL the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ.

Some of the teachings that I've been hearing lately about God's "Sons" not being distracted or detracted from "filling up with light" by ministering to the least, the lost, and the poor is a bunch of selfish nonsense, if you ask me. No one is going to get me to believe that God's plan is for His children all over the world to be held in bondage to sin and death while His so called "deliverers" sit around all day preaching to one another about the wonderful things that they are going to do someday.

I really gotta tell ya, friends, my (spiritual) stomach can’t take much more of that kind of "kingdom" stuff. There's a whole world out there that is crying out for deliverance by way of a genuine manifestation of Christ, and God is giving them just what they need when He finally gets someone who is REALLY willing to sacrifice their life for others.

We cannot live a sacrificed life unto the Lord for the sake of blessing other people, beloved ones, and not manifest Christ. We just can't (and believe me, we don't need all of the latest and greatest "revelations" to manifest Christ either).

Let me end this letter here in this way, on a personal note for all of us ...

The beginning of "violently seizing the kingdom" begins with being utterly violent toward our own self wants and needs and comforts. We can't be married to the things of self and the world, not even our own creature comforts, NOT EVEN OUR OWN MINISTRY, and be those who are truly SNATCHING the kingdom of God in Christ.

Elijah, John the Baptist, and certainly Jesus Himself are all patterns for TRUE kingdom snatchers. Just where oh where are the true kingdom snatchers today?
