Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

“For many are called, but few chosen.” Matthew 20:16

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Cor 6:9-11

A disciples life must be one that is led by the Spirit. For before when we walked without Christ, no matter hard we attempted to live a “good” life we failed. For our flesh is at war with the things of God.

“‘Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding,
Who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not:
Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord. ‘Will you not tremble at My presence?” Jer 5:21-22

Many hear of the Kingdom of God, yet never enter in for they are still using their own strength. It can never happen for we can not see the Kingdom with carnal eyes – it can only be seen with spiritual eyes.

Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again.” (John 3:3)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. (2Cor 3:17-18)

We can only see the Kingdom of God through the revelation of His Spirit – not through worldly wisdom, religious wisdom or even by the power of our own mind. Let us lay down our lives today and ask Holy Spirit to burn up our preconceived ideas of the Kingdom and open our eyes it its truth!
