The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our Lord

The church used to sing a song which had some powerful words, "Take
the name of Jesus with you". These words embody the call, of the
Kingdom work, which lies before the Body of Christ.

Every day is a take God to work day!

Every day is a take God to play day!

Every day is a new oppportunity to make Him known!

Whatever you do, in word, or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus (our Redeemer), giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. (Colossians 3:17)

Jesus spoke of going to the highways, where people are in motion, and
of going to the byways, where people are at rest.

Changing the world is a tall order. But then so is eating a cow.
However, one steak at a time makes the challenge easier.

So it is with the Kingdom business. We cam change the world system,
to Godliness, one person, one business, one objective, one city, at a
time.

Though forty years elapsed from promise to possession for the children of Israel, the Word of the Lord failed not. Even when they
are faithless, He remained faithful. His promises are steadfast and
endure to all generations. We can trust God's plan, to take the
church where it needs to go.

Changing the world system of being and doing, and replacing it with
Kingdom of God manifestation, is a tall order. It is however, one
which can be accomplished. One home, one business, one school, one park, one neighborhood, one college campus, one office or factory at
a time. Each arena needs a godly King, a child of God who will exert
Kingdom influence and presence.

We need but look at the radical anti-war revolutionaries of the 60's,
to see a reference example for take over.

What they could not accomplish with confrontation, riots, marches,
petitions etc, they accomplished by infiltration.

These radicals of the 60's are now the teachers and professors who
shape young minds. They fill the media and the arts. They are world
known in entertainment, commerce, finance, industry and civic pressure.

They learned the lesson of "adapt and conquer".

These radicals of the 60's who opposed the way things were, proved the adage, "the pen is mightier than the sword". They re-created
society in their own image, one arena at a time. For the most part,
they did it without large sums of money, influence or popular opinion

It is time for a world system change. Lasting change, that is
accomplished by,"making Him real to the world, by living real
in Him in the midst of the world."

The church must be about more than conversion. The church must be about "the Father's business", as well as the ministry of His Word.

However, the God we take to the world outside the "church", must be
the all powerful, all knowing and creation changing God of real and
true "ever present help". In business as well as in church.

The world is not seeking to, come join us for more empty religious
rhetoric, tradition, unfulfilled promises and failed adventures.

Does the failing religious systems of the modern church realize how
strange, vain and ludicrous it is for representatives of the Kingdom
of the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth. to be going to
the world systemnand its businessmen to solicit or beg for money to
help the church get by?

Asking the world to donate to support the church, is like a U.S.
Embassy in a third world nation, soliciting funding from the villagers they are to represent America to.

God has a better way to fund His ministry.

The message of poor but holy was not taken from the sermon notes or
life walk of Messiah.

Why would people of the world system, for whom miultiplication,
increase, influence, wealth and power are working, want to become a
part of a lesser system?

A system teaching lack, want and being in need, is God's will. A
system that glorifies a vow of poverty, while assuming to represent a God of extreme wealth and opulence. Who would want it?

To change the world, Believers must be ready, willing, equipped and
knowledgeable to impact and eternally change:

* The mind of men- knowledge, truth and redirection
* The Spirit of men- eternal salvation and cleansing
* The body of men- healing, miracles, creative works of God
* The bondages of men- setting captives free
* The finances of men- making Kingdom finances and provision a
part of everyday life
* The business of men- empowering business, industry, education,
finance, politics, commerce, science etc with the methods,
process and power of God
* The emotions of men- releasing the force of God's peace into
every arena of life
* The hopes of men- introducing the very real and workable plans,
purposes and pursuits of God for His man

It seems more groups burst out of the closet, as it were, everday. Now is as good a time as any for the emergence on to the world scene
of the victorious, glorious, triumphant and business savvy church.

An actual revolution of divine revelation and presence with power, as
opposed to a slow and tedious evolution of churchanity.

The Body of Christ must "arise and shine" for "the light" of revealed
purpose "has come". A public presence lived out in Kingdom of God
execellence, is what the world needs to see.

* We must make His influence and power real and known outside the
walls of local assemblies.
* We must impact the marketplace with the life changing purpose of
God.
* We must fully represent the life of the risen Christ in every
segment of the public arena.
* We must correct centuries of religious misrepresentation and
failed dogma's.
* No more business as usual.

Are we ready to address the fact that, "the earth and the fulness
thereof are the Lord's, which includes business, commerce, industry,
finance, all the earth.

Can we drop our spiritualization of what was really said in
Revelation 11:15, where John stated,"The Kingdoms of this world (not
the world to come), have become the Kingdoms of our God." All power centers of earth, must come under Him, before they are burned up.
Every discipline has a King. Every sphere is an opportunity to rule
and reign in Him. Be the King He has called you to be.

One great purpose of the coming of our Messiah was, "the government
is to be on His shoulders." His shoulders are part of His body. The
New Covenant Church is His body. Believers should rule governments for divine purpose and Kingdom fulfillment.

He is the head, we are the body, the governments and systems of earth
are our inheritance. Let's open this oyster and lay hold of the pearl
it holds.

The church communities can curse the darkness of politics, government and corrupt corporations. Or, they can raise up a new generation to invade every sphere of influence in modern socities.

Believers in rule, sets captives free.
