God's Kingdom - Inflicting Violence!

Mat 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. " 

The word used here for "suffers violence" means
1) to use force, to apply force,
2) to force, inflict violence on. 

The Kingdom of God is inflicting violence by force on the kingdom of this world! You may be part of it, if you choose to believe! The Kingdom works through you to the point that you understand and believe. That's why Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 to seek the Kingdom of God - and right standing with Him - and you'll see and experience amazing things!

Remember, the currency of the Kingdom  is faith, faith in God, and belief that He will do what He says He will do. Increase your knowledge of the Kingdom, discover what God is doing and intends to do on this planet he has given us to manage, come into agreement and cooperation with what He is doing! 

No matter what the enemy has told you, God's Kingdom is powerful, and advancing! If your place of worship isn't providing information on His Kingdom or helping you to discover what your place in it is, then search! Spend time with the King, and He'll lead you to the right sources as He did for me!

Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you"
Matthew 6:10 "Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as [it is] in heaven."

8 Core values about the End-Times - Borrowed from Kris Vallotton

Kris Vallotton’s 8 Core Values Regarding Eschatology or
“the End-Times”
1. I will not embrace an end-time world view that re-empowers a dis-empowered devil.
2. I will not embrace an eschatology that takes away my children’s future and creates mind-sets that undermine the mentality of leaving a legacy or an inheritance or my kid’s future. I intend to leave my children a world in revival.
3. I will not tolerate a theology that sabotages the clear command of Jesus to make disciples of all nations and the Lord’s Prayer that the earth would look like heaven. Why is it that just the bad things have to be fulfilled? What about the amazingly good things?
4. I will not allow an interpretation of the scriptures that undermines hope for the nations and for the restoration of ruined cities.
5. I will not allow an eschatology that changes the nature of a good God.
6. I refuse to accept any mind-set that celebrates bad news as a sign of the times and a necessary requirement for the return of Jesus Christ.
7. I am opposed to any doctrinal position that pushes the promises of God into a time-zone that cannot be attained in my life or generation and therefore takes away any responsibility I have to believe God for them in my life-time.
8. I don’t believe that the last days are a time of judgment nor do I believe that God gave the church the right to call for wrath on sinful cities or nations. There is a Day of Judgment that God alone has the right to pass any judgment…but even that is a DAY …not days.
