Luke 11:20
But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
By saying this, Jesus was highlighting what the work of God was about and why He came. The Earth for too long has been riddled with demonic influence causing depression, hatred and poverty. And He came to push that demonic influence right back, and begin the establishment of a New Order. His Order, the Order of the Kingdom.
When Jesus rose from the dead, His disciples were convinced that He was going to restore the Earth back to its former glory and establish God's Kingdom once and for all. After all, He was the very Son of God! The Messiah! Surely He had accomplished what was now required? But Jesus had other plans...
He left them.
He said to the disciples that they were now to carry on the Work He started and extend the Kingdom of God wherever they went, and He would send them the Holy Spirit to empower and help them in this supernatural task.
You see friends, many Christians today have similar mindsets to the disciples before His ascension (Acts 1:6). They expect and hope that when Jesus returns He will sort everything out, thereby absolving any responsibility. But what they don't realise is that He came to redeem mankind back to their position of authority on the planet so that they could continue His work of establishing His Kingdom.
Friends, you have been commissioned and empowered to change the atmosphere around you! You have the Kingdom of God inside you (Luke 17:21), and that is a very different kingdom to the kingdom of this world that is still suffering from the influence of satan. Your objective is to change the atmosphere around you, and be part of God's priesthood that establishes His Kingdom here on Earth.
Maybe it is at home, where there are hurts, disappointments, anger? Maybe it is in the work place, where there is jealousy, corruption and pride? Maybe it is at school. Even at a restaurant! Maybe one of your friends are sick? Declare with your mouth (Proverbs 18:21) the Life of God into those situations. Release the anointing of God's Presence over them, and command the darkness to leave and submit to the Light and Kingdom of God. You will be surprised what you will begin to see happen in and around your life.
We need to live this life with the awareness of who we are and what we have been commissioned with, and when our mindsets change to such an outlook, the Kingdom will grow at an exponential rate!
Try it, it's much easier than you think! You have been qualified! (Colossians 1:12)
