     And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world

     for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

 

1. Matthew 4:17 (KJV)  “Jesus began His public ministry after being

• baptized, after fasting 40 days in the

     kingdom of heaven is at hand.

“What Is The Kingdom Message?”

1. Matthew 6:9-10 (KJV)  “Jesus teaching his disciples how to pray.”

• After this manner therefore pray ye:  Our Father which art in

     heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

     10) Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

• Matthew 6:33 (KJV)  “Jesus preaching to the multitudes.”

       But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and

       all these things shall be added unto you.

 

1. Romans 14:17-19 (KJV)  “Paul preaching to the saints in Rome”

       17) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but

       righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

       18) For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God,

       and approved of men.

       19) Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,

       and things wherewith one may edify another.

 

*(The Kingdom message is all about a sinless obedient lifestyle of holy, righteous, Godly living –

here and now!  Jesus came to set us free from sin and its consequences.)

 

1. Isaiah 1:16-20 (KJV)  “God speaking to his people.”

       16) Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings

       from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil;

       17) Learn to do well; seek judgement, relieve the oppressed, judge

       the fatherless, plead for the widow.

 

       18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

       though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

       though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

       19) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

       20) But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the

       sword:  for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

 

1. Jeremiah 4:14 (KJV)  “God speaking to his people.”

       O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest

       be saved.  How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

 

1. James 4:7-8 (KJV) 

       7) Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he

       will flee from you.

       8) Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.  Cleanse your

       hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

 

1. Ephesians 4:21-24 (KJV)      “Hear the words of Jesus – Repent!” 

       21) If so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him,

       as the truth is in Jesus.

       22) That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old

       man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

       23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

       24) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in

             righteousness and true holiness.
