The Kingdom (and the Gifts)

During this weekend encounter, you'll gain a Biblical understanding of the Kingdom of God, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and the role the believer has been assigned to advance His Kingdom through the Word and works of the Holy Spirit. We will look at the dynamics of the Kingdom and the role we play as His children to make the attributes and economy of heaven manifest here on earth through the proclamation and demonstration of His Kingdom reality. Christ invaded the Kingdom of Darkness, defeated sin, sickness, and death; our role is to make that truth a reality wherever we go. If we don’t understand the Kingdom, we cannot fully demonstrate the reality of the King here on Earth. We will explore what we mean when we say, “The Gospel of the Kingdom.” Knowledge alone without the power of the King and His Kingdom will not break through the kingdom of darkness. It takes both His word and His works, proclamation, and demonstration through the Holy Spirit’s power to tear down the works of Satan in the world.

The Kingdom reality, expressed through God’s children, should pierce through the lies of our present reality, designed and influenced by Satan, setting captives free. The gifts of the Spirit are profound demonstrations of a superior reality, one in which we are intended to live and release in a dark and dying world.
