Unnoticed Kingdom

A Kingdom Community will be submitted to Jesus by obeying his Spirit. It will not recognise the authority of local governments and rulers. It will not recognise their laws.

The “powers that be” will not recognise the Kingdom Community as a government, because it is based on free authority. Because they think in terms of imposed authority, they will not recognise it as an effective government, although it has seceded and set up an alternative government to the existing powers.

This is why it is a secret kingdom.

Kingdom Communities (1)

During a Time of Distress, religious structures will be torn down and Kingdom Communities will emerge in their place. Christians will be forced into deeper relationships with each other to survive in the hostile world. The Holy Spirit will flood them with love as they live out Jesus’ new commandment (John 13:34).

Kingdom Communities will transform their neighbourhoods. As the structures of society fall apart, they will demonstrate a way of life that will appeal to a shaken world. The number of kingdom communities will grow quickly as the new way of living spreads from place to place as the Holy Spirit moves in power.

Each community will be a microcosm of the Kingdom of God, providing everything that governments have failed to deliver, but without Imposed Authority. They will be united by love and service under Free Authority.

This an excerpt from my new book Kingdom Authority, which will be available later in November.

Being Church to Kingdom Community

When the times get tough, many Christians will be unable to go to church.

They will have to start being the church where they live.

When Christians are really being church where they live, the neighbourhood where they live will become a kingdom community.

The gospel will spread from neighbourhood to neighbourhood as people and communities are transformed.

When kingdom communities spread throughout society, the Kingdom of God will have come.

The Kingdom reaches its fullness in an area when the neighbourhood church has transformed into a Kingdom community.
