Don't we see the great need to bring shape and symmetry to young lumps of gold? And isn't there a mixture of the right perfume which we should take from the individuals of 'myrrh', 'frankincense,' etc., and conclude, "And it seemed good to the Holy Ghost AND US..." and so teams that can function well would do so?

Many years ago a book was written entitled “The Hearing Ear” that implies that we can have ears but not hear what is said. The resurrected Christ in the book of Revelation said seven times in chapters 2 and 3, “He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

We know from reading these two chapters that most of the churches had lost their way and even slipped into sin. One of the most tragic verses is found in Revelation 3:20. Jesus is actually speaking to the church leadership, “Here I am I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” If that was possible for the first generation of apostolically founded churches how much more is that true for us today.

As we look at the manifestation of the Kingdom we see that there are commitments we must make to relationship for it to become a reality. From John 17:23 we saw in the previous article that our commitment to God, our commitment to one another and our commitment to see the world touched with the power of the gospel form the foundation for Kingdom manifestation.

MANIFESTING THE KINGDOM

Article by Steve Wilson

Over the last couple of years many of our conferences have centered on the theme of manifesting the Kingdom. We all recognize that this is a very important subject for this time, because we are desperate to see the King manifest in all of His Glory. We want to see the invisible becoming visible, His power demonstrated in society. We are weary of our own powerlessness and know that we need a breakthrough. We understand that breakthrough comes as a result of our being aligned in obedience to the Word, and from that position we expect divine intervention.

"… take up your position and stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord is giving you."

DECREE THAT JESUS IS LORD!

Article by Dr. Sam Matthews

I am hearing the Father's heart that we declare and proclaim what He has spoken about His Son Jesus. Listen to what the scriptures teach us in Hebrews 1: 1-2: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." God spoke in the prophets, in His Son, and now by His Spirit. He tells us to proclaim His greatness and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom in every nation. He is wanting us to proclaim, decree, and release in faith the prophetic word spoken by Isaiah.
