"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace and joy. Serving the Anointed One by walking in these kingdom realities pleases God and earns the respect of others." Romans 14:17-18 (The Passion) The kingdom of God is entered into by Holy Spirit, and not observing feasts and ritual meals. We must be born of the Spirit in order to enter into God's kingdom realm. To have Holy Spirit is to have the realities of God's kingdom! Paul is saying here to put others first and having right relationships with others as well as right living! While reading Wade Taylor's books, I have adopted some revelations He had on scripture. In this scripture, The Kingdom of God begins with righteousness. As we make the right choices, we discover within us an abiding peace. The favor of God and joy is manifested in this inner peace! Those who are satisfied with being blessed and going to heaven have their reward. BUT ...for those who intensely hunger for this higher level glory and spiritual reality, there is much more! These are the ones who deal with their heart issues, so in that day as overcomers, they will be found in the Throne...seated with Him! "You have chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth." (Rev 5:10) The Passion... IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN!!!
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t
