Greg and Pat discuss how many dark conversations are taking place in the world. They continue to discuss how the kingdom of God is completely different from the kingdoms of this world. If someone is trying to define the kingdom of God by the kingdoms of this world they have missed it. The Kingdom of God existed before America; in fact America came as a result of the kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God will exist no matter the environment so when we discuss separating the two this is not a negative thing. For instance, if someone changes an amendment to the constitution that doesn’t mean that Jesus will change or has been changed. The kingdom of God is inside of us making us kingdom containers. As believers we need to go and spread the kingdom and as we do when people receive Jesus into their heart then the Kingdom of God expands. God’s kingdom does not expand by territory or political party. They also discussed how the kingdoms of this world will be shaken but what will remain is God’s kingdom. As a believer you must know what kingdom you are in. America will stand if we concern ourselves with the kingdom of God. They further discuss how Esther was able to intervene and spare a people and God answered the prayers of the people as she approached the king which resulted in him changing his edict regarding the Jews. Today many believers are not even praying for the President. When Israel had the right perspective, humbled themselves and prayed they saw that God was in control and he touched the heart of the King. Could it be that today we have placed too much attention on the kingdoms of this world and its leaders than on God? We must remember that our enemy is not a physical enemy but a spiritual enemy. We need to seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. Once we hear from God and have peace then we can go forth and preach His Kingdom in the entire world.
Prayer Has No Limitations
John, Steve and Pat discuss the remarkable nature of prayer in that has no limitations. If I wanted to go across the world to England or Uganda and have Godly impact in that part of the world for Jesus I would have some unique things to consider. The amount of time it would take to travel, the expense, one’s energy and the limitation as to how many people one can reach within a given space and time. Yet prayer has no such limitations and if you wanted to touch the nation of Uganda and England and anywhere in the world you can do so simply by prayer. Since prayer travels unhindered, unrestricted, and can go through walls and roofs affecting the targeted area. They continue to discuss how we are made in the image of God although man tends to give God human characteristics that lend you to believe that God was created in the image of man. Of course this is not true. The best way to know who we are is to first know who God is. God is a Spirit and there are some things that are important to know regarding his nature. God is a spirit, He is invisible and He is immortal. Our flesh is just the tent that houses our spirit and soul. When we pray it is like our prayers are joined with our spirit and we can be in any given place affecting the spiritual environment. They encourage us to engage God and communicate with Him through prayer and perseverance for His will to come to pass in the world in which we live.
