Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I don't want to go to heaven. Not that I'm lobbying for the other place . . ." —Michael Wittmer This planet is more than just a stopover on your way to heaven. It is your final destination. God wants you to enjoy your earthly existence, and to think otherwise is to miss the life he intends for you. Exploring the book of Genesis, Heaven Is a Place on Earth gently but firmly strips away common misconceptions of Christianity and broadens your worldview to reveal the tremendous dignity and value of everyday life. Taking you from creation, to the fall, to redemption, and to glimpses from the book of Revelation, Michael Wittmer opens your eyes to a faith that encompasses all of life--baseball games, stock reports, church activities, prayer, lovemaking, work, hobbies . . . everything that lies within the sphere of human activity. To be fully Christian is to be fully human, says Wittmer, alive and responsive to the kingdom of God in all that you are and all that you do. Discover the freedom and impact God created you for. It starts with a truly Christian worldview. And its fruit is the undiluted gospel, powerful not only to save souls, but to restore them to a life that is truly worth living. Includes discussion/reflection questions after each chapter.
Download or read book Heaven on Earth written by R. Alan Streett and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future hope of heaven is pulled into the here-and-now in this illuminating description of the kingdom of God. Popular teacher and author R. Alan Streett exposes half-truths about the kingdom that many believers have unwittingly accepted. He contrasts these with the testimony of Scripture: Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of God on the earth—it has already begun. As ambassadors of the kingdom, we are to fulfill our responsibilities and enjoy its benefits here and now. Salvation does not culminate with the soul escaping the body and living forever in heaven. Our bodies will eventually be transformed, and we will live with God on a restored earth. The church is like an embassy of heaven in a foreign country. In their life together, believers demonstrate kingdom realities to the world. Readers will find hope and direction in this fresh presentation of the historic teaching on the kingdom.

We are on the verge of devastating events that will create great fear and chaos throughout the world and especially in our comfort-seeking nation. We are no longer free to play the role of civilians —for dark times are coming which will open up opportunities to be a strong light for the Kingdom of God in the midst of growing darkness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary Bringing The Kingdom of God to Earth presents an easy to understand, simple path for the reader to learn how to allow the constant Radiant Spirit of the God-Being that you are to flow through your human equipment to produce the Kingdom of God on Earth. As your True Nature, made in the image and likeness of God, replaces your fallen human nature, the creation of the Kingdom of God on Earth automatically comes through your human form into the world of your environment. Only the True Nature of Man can bring the Kingdom of God to Earth. Other approaches produce a distortion of the Divine Design that God is sending to Mankind. The human equipment of Man in the fallen state has distorted the coming of God’s Kingdom of Heaven to Earth. The author presents a logical approach of the Way to live a Spirit-filled life in a distorted world. Personal application of the information leads to the revelation that the Truth of person is Spirit, not human form, the vehicle for your Spirit. The experience of your spiritual identity as an eternal God-Being in a temporary human form will reveal the Purpose of Man to bring the Kingdom of God on Earth to re-create the Golden Age on Earth as it is in Heaven. Explanations are provided in the book as to how each person can be a shining star in one’s individual environment with the result that whole and holy people, God-Beings, are absolutely necessary to create a whole and holy world. The religions and the scriptures of the world should lead people back to an increased experience of God on this side of the grave, while we are alive and able to build the Kingdom of God through each of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No doubt, it is common to hear Christians today declaring their allegiance to God's kingdom. But what does this actually entail, and what difference does it make? In his characteristically provocative and daring way, Christoph Blumhardt articulates a vision of God's kingdom that turns much of our understanding of modern Christianity upside-down. In the present volume, available in English for the first time, Blumhardt leads readers to look at the gospel anew, challenging us to follow Jesus in a way that makes God's reign a reality, here and now. Bypassing vague notions of spirituality, as well as transcending simplistic approaches to faith, Blumhardt inspires us to actually live under the rule and reign of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a treatise on the Kingdom of God and the need for the Church to forcefully advance it across the earth. No longer can the businessman sit back in the pew and expect the pastor to do all the work. No longer can the lonely widow or single mom wallow in insecurity and condemnation. Heaven comes to earth when individual believers begin to understand their sphere of authority. Â The self-righteous will no longer be able to sit in judgment of the world, for they will come face to face with what God has forgiven them of and what He is calling them to. We have both the ability and the responsibility to transform society. Don t like the world in which you live? Then come to faith, obey the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to release the power of the Kingdom through you.
Download or read book On Earth As It Is In Heaven written by Dorothy Toth and published by . This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is the History Book about the Kingdom of God. It is about this Kingdom's past, present, and future. This book of Poetry is based on Revelation 11:15. THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE TO BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD AND HIS CHRISt." The Greek word for "Christ" is Christos, meaning anointed. But it can also apply to anointed ONE, for example, JESUS, or to the anointed PEOPLE (ISRAEL). So properly translated it reads, "The Kingdoms of this world has become the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus, and of his anointed people Israel. "God only formed ONE KINGDOM, that will not change. The whole Bible tells of God's plans and purposes centered on this Kingdom, and how we can share in it's blessings. This Kingdom group or "anointed ones", will be the only instrument or avenue through which the other nations of the world will inherit and experience the blessings of the fulness and the abundance of God's way of life. The establishment of a literal Kingdom here on Earth was part of God's plan PRIOR TO CREATION! He set aside certain areas of the Earth's surface to the children of Israel, and divinely purposed that other nations of the world would not take over these areas. Deut. 32;8-9.The Saints or Overcomers will rule over the House of Jacobs as PRIESTS or RULERS with Christ, on Earth. Deu. 7:6-8, Exod.19:6, Luke. 1:31-33. Then Jesus may hand back the perfected Kingdom to his Father, and all things may be in him. 1 cor. 15:24-28, Matt.13-41. THE SONG OF MOSES, Deu.32:1-47. Jesus instructed us to Pray for the coming of his Kingdom and it's righteousness on this Earth. Matt. 6:9-13 "Our Father which are in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."
Download or read book Bringing Heaven to Earth written by Josh Ross and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2015 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Can Help Bring Heaven to Earth God so loved the world, and he still does. He values his creation too much to destroy it. If you know where to look, you can see that the coming of a new heaven and a new earth already has begun. Life on earth is renewed every time you live out Jesus's prayer that God's ways will be followed on earth. The work of God's Kingdom involves restoring what has been broken. This includes people, unjust systems, relationships, anything that has been separated from God and needs to be healed, reconciled, and set right. This is how heaven collides with earth--not following fiery destruction but in the power of restoring to life everything that God created. What you believe about God's plan for humanity and for his creation determines how you will invest your life. God calls all of us to this renewing work. You can help bring heaven to earth, starting today.
