THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMES TO EARTH
Paul & Emily Meuller

Part Four     April 2001

(7)

                Father is even now awakening the desire for the blessings and benefits of the kingdom of God within His elect. Hope shall no longer be deferred! The desire for the kingdom has come! Hope deferred made our hearts sick, but the desire for His kingdom has come, thus reversing that deferment and canceling the postponement that was against us and that was making our hearts sick. No longer is hope deferred, for the desire for our Father's kingdom is being awakened within us. And that awakened, renewed, revitalized and rekindled desire for the kingdom of Love within us is becoming a tree of life, by the Spirit of the living God. What glorious wonders await us all in this great Day of the kingdom of Love on earth! Blessed be the Name of the Lord, Who always does all things well!

                The Lord has awakened the desire for the kingdom of Love (God) within us, by His Spirit. He has also put us into the school of the Spirit, to teach us to hear His word, and to receive new truths for this glorious new Day in which we now live. To walk with our Father in the light of this new Day, we must become more spiritual. Our past level of spiritual understanding will not suffice in this new Day. New things are now coming forth out of the heavenlies of God's Spirit to the earth, and we must be able to hear what the Spirit is saying in this new Day. Since the desire for our Father's kingdom has been awakened within us, by the Spirit, the new truths of the kingdom of Love await our new understanding of the higher and more superior ways of His kingdom. We must be changed by the Spirit! Then we shall be taught new things in the school of the Spirit, for this new Day. And our ability to change begins with repentance!

                Repentance enables us to turn away from the dead past, and to embrace, with some measure of understanding, the principles of this new Day of the kingdom of Love. Repentance prepares us and makes us receptive to new truths! It makes us pliable and flexible, so that we will easily bend to the perfect will and ways of our Father for this new Day. There is a new kingdom highway for us to walk on in this new Day, and we can only walk it in repentance and humility! Repentance keeps us humble before the Lord and before others, while we walk a unique, new spiritual path that has been reserved only for Father's elect and chosen sons from before the foundation of the world. Others may assume that we are proud and arrogant because of our high calling in God, but the tests and trials of this life will keep us repentant, contrite and humble. Repentance was required in the beginning of the church age (see Acts 17:29-30 & 26:20), and it is just as necessary today, for we have entered another new age in God's economy.

Airhough we see a need for repentance and a turning away from the things of the past, there are many experiences of the past that are useful and necessary in this new Day. For example, the Lord has led us through the years so that we now know the way He leads us, how He leads us, and what He uses to lead us day by day. Only by experience can we know the way of the Spirit for our individual lives. The Lord usually leads us differently than He does others. He will give dreams to some to lead them in the right path, and others will receive visions from the Lord. But all of us have been trained to HEAR. the Voice of our Beloved. Those experiences of the past should be remembered and cherished, for by them our Father trained us to hear His voice and then to be obedient to that Voice.

Jesus said. "I am the Good Shepherd and ! know and recognize My own, and My own know and recognize Me. The sheep that are ~ own hear and are listenin2 to Mv voice, and I know them and they follow Me, And 1 give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages - to all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed. And no one is able to snatch them Out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all else; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand, land the Father are One" (Jo. 10:14, 27-30, Amplified).
