I hear the Lord calling His Bride to rise higher than traditional "church."

Singing the same old songs, saying the same old prayers, sitting through a feel-good message, attending church to be entertained ...it just isn't working. The Word says, "...the realm of heaven's kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power." (Matthew 11:12)

PASSIONATE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN HOLD OF ITS POWER

It's time for YOU to arise up as one of the passionate ones filled with the power of the Kingdom!

I believe the Lord is calling the Bride as a whole, but the Bride as a whole is made up of individuals. This starts with YOU.

What does it mean for you to take hold of the Kingdom's power?

What you believe about the Kingdom Realm has to do with every single thing.

If you believe the Kingdom is only available when you die and go to heaven, you cannot access all the benefits it holds for NOW.

What does it hold for right now? Every. Single. Thing.

Creative miracles, health, deliverance, finances, joy, peace, prosperity...the list is endless!

AND it is all available right now to the passionate ones who choose to take hold of it.

Jesus came to give us life more abundantly (John 10:10), He came to give us authority in the earth again (Mark 16), He came to see His Bride filled with all the power of the heavenly realm and to take that power to the ends of the earth!

I know some churches have this figured out, but many do not! People shouldn't be leaving church services sick, depressed, defeated, and oppressed by the devil!

It is time NOW for the Bride to arise in all the power of the heavenly realm as an authority in the earth to live "just like it is in heaven."

When we pray the prayer Jesus taught in Matthew 6, are we just saying some words we memorized, or are we living like we mean it?

Pray like this:

Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest your kingdom realm and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in heaven.

We acknowledge you as our provider of all we need each day.

Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.

Rescue us every time we face tribulation and set us free from evil. For you are the King who rules with power and glory forever. Amen.

-Matthew 6: 9-13 TPT

May we be the passionate people that arise in His Glory, and grab hold of all the power of the heavenly realm to bring His Kingdom down to earth. We aren't living just waiting to die and enter the Kingdom then...we get the privilege of living in His Kingdom NOW.
