Covenant Promises of God's Kingdom

Those who are not ashamed of Him and publicly identify themselves as God's children and citizens in His Kingdom have advantages others desire but must live without. Many believe they have these advantages because they know the doorway, Jesus, but knowing Him and using Him to enter the Kingdom and receive it into yourself is not the same. As a member of His family and an heir of His promises, I must confess that it puzzles me why multitudes do not accept His extraordinary offer of relationship with the Godhead within the Kingdom of God. Many, of course, have never heard the gospel of the Kingdom of God preached, and Satan will continue to blind their minds so they cannot apprehend this truth.

Religious people, though, are a different story. They have heard about Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. They go to church and talk about them, yet never seem interested in getting to know them by communicating with them. Instead, they study the Bible and interpret it from their own experiences in life, and with every significant interpretation, they birth another denomination. Every viewpoint attracts followers who believe everyone else is wrong, and none of them are going to God and asking Him for his opinions, knowledge, and wisdom. Communicating with Him never seems to enter their thoughts.

Therefore, all of them are wrong and provide a distraction of wrongful beliefs that prevent those who desire God from entering His Kingdom. Religions have turned out many good and bad people but never Godly people. Jesus gave us a measure to determine if this statement is true. How many people are preaching life in the Kingdom of God today? How many teach entering the Kingdom, apprehending its benefits, and seeking personal intimacy with the King, the Prince, and the Holy Spirit in the Kingdom today? How many are doing greater works than Jesus? Preaching about them is not doing them. Jesus always performed miracles but never preached miracles. Personal knowledge and intimacy with the Godhead must be a priority because God has made you part of it.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I publicly---without shame---proclaim before all people, spirits, and Heaven that I am a child of God and accept citizenship in your Kingdom. I also renounce all former allegiances or self-proclaimed identities that conflict with my present identity. I ask you to guide my education as a citizen of the Kingdom of God on how to release all legal benefits you have given me. So, I might continue to grow in maturity and productivity as a citizen until I reach Christ's full measure and stature. I further ask you to profoundly confirm your acceptance of this prayer by all who use it. Amen.
