The communication of the kingdom is:

Jesus Christ is coming back! He told us long ago, in Luke 17:22-37:

And He said to the disciples, "The days shall come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, "Look there! Look here!" Do not go away, and do not run after them. For just as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it shall be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

Jesus is coming back. He's coming back very soon. Are you ready? Will He be pleased with you; with where you are and with what you're doing, when He returns? We have one life to give in return for the One given for us. What are you doing with that life He gave you, today?

You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)

Are we? Are we following in our Savior's footsteps? That Jesus, Who left us this parting assignment:.

All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:18-20)

Well, brothers and sisters, when you ask Jesus Christ into your heart, that's your call, ‘Preacher!' Usually it's the fear of man that keeps us from that call; caring what people think, rather than what the God who holds our next breath thinks! The Bible warns about that kind of thinking:

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of man, neither be dismayed at the their revilings:I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, and of the son of man who is made like grass; that you have forgotten the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, that you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, as he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the oppressor? The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking. For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar and I have put My words in your mouth, and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, "You are My people." (Isaiah 51:7-read on, it's great!)

For He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you," so that we confidently say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?" Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY AND TODAY, YES AND FOREVER! (Hebrews 13:5-8)

It's time to be about our Father's business:.meeting needs and healing hurts.

Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. (John 10:7-11)

Do we have that abundant life Jesus spoke of? Why not? It's there! All who will, may come! Peter was very clear to his listeners in Acts 3:19

Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

So, will we do what our Lord did? To be great, will we follow in the footsteps of the one with nail prints in His hands?

Jesus said, "Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:25-28)

Oh man, oh woman, it's time to get serious about the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." (John 14:6)

Jesus also said, "And why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46)

Who is standing in God's place in your life today? It's time to get right while we still can. Jesus is coming back for a spotless bride. We got new mercies this morning; we got another chance to do it right! Isn't obedience always the dividing issue? If you've lost your peace, go back to that place where you stopped, repent, forgive and go on, FREE!

Paul said, do not be deceived; "Bad company corrupts good morals." (I Corinthians 15:33)

Jesus said, "For nothing is hidden that shall not become evident, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light. Therefore take care how you listen, for whoever has, to him shall more be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him." (Luke 8:17-18)

Who's voice are you heeding today? There are many voices in the land, but only one VOICE.

Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one." (John 10:27-30)

I ask you to read Matthew 10 today and receive His call on your life. It's time to lead, follow or get out of the way! It's time to read the book and do what it says! Let's do the things He left us here to do:those things Jesus did.

"Go report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who keeps from stumbling over Me." (Luke 7:22-23)

Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:14-17)

Be blessed. Read the Book and do what it says. Go free, whatever the cost to do the passion God put in your heart for Him:Reach, preach and teach until ALL know!

"The ministry of the sword and salve--a ministry that is making a difference in the Body of Christ!

We pray that God will visit your life with a joy that comes only from a personal walk with Jesus Christ. It is our desire to get out of the way and usher God's children into His presence, where unhindered and unhampered, their needs are met. This 'Sword and Salve' ministry to the body through both the Word and song is anointed for BREAKTHROUGH'S ... ARE YOU READY?
