Apostle Dr. Osunmakinde centered on the importance of understanding, the nature of kingdom growth, and spiritual warfare.
Learning the Kingdom from Jesus: Jesus, who manifested perfection, not only lived out the kingdom but taught it for three and a half years, drawing from 30 years of observation and experience. He only taught what He experienced and practiced.
The Path to Purpose: Fulfilling purpose requires a posture of sitting, listening, and asking questions. The kingdom is not arrived at but grown into through knowledge, even while working (e.g., Jesus the carpenter).
Understanding and Warfare: Lack of understanding triggers spiritual warfare, which is fundamentally a trial of the word. The Holy Spirit is always ahead of the enemy.
The Power of Scripture: The best way to root what God told you is to establish it from scriptures. If you cannot scripturize what God told you, the devil will steal it. The enemy does not fear fasting and praying; he dreads your understanding.
Avoiding Error: We must go into extreme study before extreme fasting. No scripture interprets itself; every scripture must be viewed in the whole counsel to avoid error.
The Danger of Worshiping Satan: Anytime a believer gives credit to Satan, believes they are cursed, worries, or speaks anything other than the Word of God in a situation, it is an act of worship to Satan. We must use the same energy for worry to worship God.
Conduct and Anointing: A kingdom-minded man cannot live with offense. You cannot be offended and anointed at the same time. We must learn to put the Lord ever before us and put things behind us.
Pastor Ishaku focused on the theme of divine identity, faith, and the process of spiritual cleansing.
Divine Identity & Manifestation: The coming of the celestial (manifestation of God's plan) and the spiritual (full expression of God's life) are activated by believing and embracing your divine living and identity.
The Faith of Jesus: Our acceptance by God is not by our works, but by the "faith of Jesus", which He supplied even at salvation. Any work that leads to boasting cannot glorify God.
Cleansing & Repentance: The process of cleansing begins with identification. Repentance and godly sorrow are the antidotes for the flesh. We must ask the Spirit of Christ to help identify the fleshly things that conscience doesn't touch because they may seem "good in religious sight."
Pressure and Purpose: Pressure is designed to suppress the flesh so the treasure of God can be revealed and to expose what needs to be dealt with.
Living by Revelation: We must believe what Jesus inspires in us, even if it doesn't "make sense" or if others don't believe it. Our calling will not be logical.
Uniqueness: Every believer has a unique breath and fragrance, no one can manifest the uniqueness of another.
Pastor Chingtok Ishaku closes out Day 2 of the conference
Apostle Makinde tackled the issue of Christian effectiveness, using the comparison of believers to John the Baptist as a launchpad for discussing the necessity of accurate knowledge and doctrine.
1. Moving Beyond John the Baptist
The Greater Truth: The scripture states the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist. If this is true, our current manifestation is lacking.
Growth and Knowledge: The fact that you are limited in knowledge does not stop your growth in the Kingdom; however, a lack of accurate knowledge is a great disservice.
John is Emerging Truth: We must move beyond "emerging truth" (like John's) to the present truth of the Kingdom.
The Right Lens: Delays are often not demonic but because a lesson is not yet learned. We must view matters from a Kingdom lens.
2. The Power of Accurate Knowledge and Doctrine
Grace and Peace: Grace and peace are only multiplied through knowledge. We must grow with the whole counsel of God.
Separate Pathways: The knowledge pathway and the spiritual pathway are different and must be combined; fasting and praying are not substitutes for knowledge.
Doctrine is Foundation: Scriptures are profitable first for doctrine before correction. Handling scripture without passing through the corridor of doctrine will lead to its abuse.
The Word Over the Pastor: The word can do better than what we look for pastors to do. It is our ultimate reliance. Inheritance is entered when the word is shared.
3. Manifesting Kingdom Life
Function Without Title: When the Kingdom hits, you don't need a title; you just function. Your business or profession should be where Kingdom is done.
Kingdom Citizens: The purpose of doing church is to raise Kingdom citizens. A Kingdom church must be both prophetic and teaching.
The Test of Understanding: The wicked one (Satan) comes only to check your understanding. Satan is not afraid of your prayers and fasting, but of your understanding of what God said.
Pastor Ishaku delivered a deep and multi-faceted message on Kingdom principles, commitment, and authority.
1. The Priority of the Kingdom
Defining Iniquity: Iniquity is the desire to achieve what the Kingdom hasn't given you (e.g., Lucifer's sin).
Kingdom vs. Carnality: Hunger for personal gain is the greatest opposition to the Kingdom. Carnality is feeling unsuccessful despite what the Kingdom has provided.
The Greatest Waste: Prayer centered around personal needs is a great waste of Kingdom time.
Absolute Surrender: A person's commitment to the Lord must be supreme; there should be nothing you cannot stop the moment God speaks. Security must not be bound to possessions. We must live expending ourselves on the Kingdom of God.
2. Authority and Faith
Finished Work: Everything desired in the new creation reality is already finished. The issue is not with God's will, but with the receiver (our faith and understanding).
Delegated Authority: Jesus’s authority is for His Body, the Church. Not using the authority in His name is a waste of His purpose.
Manifesting Authority: The Kingdom manifests through you only to the degree of your faith. God delights to see you living in the authority He won.
3. The Process of Making and Inheritance
Seeking the Kingdom: The Kingdom doesn't stumble into you; it must be vehemently sought and pursued. The proof of seeking is pursuit.
Kingdom Purpose: Health, prosperity, or soundness of mind only profit God if their strength and resources are channeled towards Kingdom purposes.
The Three Stages of Inheritance:
Admiration: Find a Kingdom cause and serve faithfully, emulating the leader's pattern of faith.
Service: Must be followed with faithful service.
Faithfulness: Serving another man as you would if the Kingdom were in your hands.
The Importance of Making: Making (the process of being developed) is crucial because God will not risk giving irretrievable Kingdom authority to an unmade man.
The cure for barrenness and unfruitfulness is making. We must grow well first, not just grow big.
Staying in the Storm: To survive trials, you must be conscious of the prophecies spoken to you and insist on saying what God says over what the enemy says.
In this powerful message, Pastor Dele Osu-Makinde explains that the true essence of being born again is to see the Kingdom of God and actively participate in its takeover strategy.
Seeing is Key: The ability to see and comprehend the Kingdom is as vital as the experience itself; it's difficult to lead a person beyond their current sight or revelation. The purpose of Jesus's coming was to inaugurate the Kingdom of God so that the kingdoms of this world could be consequently absorbed (Revelation 11:15).
The Enemy as a Tool: A core concept is that once the Kingdom configuration is established, the enemy ceases to be a true threat and becomes a tool for advancing God's Kingdom. The devil, who is described as a king without a truly organized kingdom (a kingdom divided against itself), is reduced to an insignificant entity.
Worship and Mindset: The only way the devil gains power is when believers empower him through disobedience or by worshipping him—which is defined as allowing his thoughts and suggestions to undermine the Kingdom of God in one's mind. Repentance is simply the act of changing the way you think to align with the Kingdom.
The Power of Kingdom Mindset: The Kingdom is defined as the rulership of God in the affairs of men. The strength of the Spirit's manifestation in a believer's life depends on their understanding of the Kingdom—the curriculum of the Kingdom is the Scripture. The shift from operating the power of the Spirit for selfish ends to aligning with God's will is achieved by seeking the Kingdom mindset first.
Harvest and Preparation: The message concludes with a focus on preparation for harvest. Sowing and scattering the Word (confessing the Word) is crucial for activating Kingdom thought and moving toward the harvest season. The "night season" is a time to acquire knowledge (the "sickle for harvest") and build the capacity needed for the coming increase, avoiding the danger of losing the harvest due to lack of preparation. Obedience must be all or none, requiring a divorce from the old identity to fully embrace the new status the Kingdom brings.
In this message, Pastor Sarah Chingtok Ishaku expands on the concept of the Gospel of the Kingdom, asserting that it is a broader, more wholistic picture of God's heart and plan than simply the Gospel of Christ (which focuses on salvation and the death of Christ).
The Kingdom Defined: The core idea is that every kingdom consists of a king and his domain—a jurisdiction of authority. Scriptural references like Genesis 10:10 (first mention of "kingdom") and Matthew 3:2 and 4:16-17 are used to establish its biblical importance.
Completeness of the Gospel: Pastor Ishaku emphasizes that the death of Christ is the initiating point but that any message that excludes the Kingdom is incomplete. John the Baptist was a forerunner of the message of the Kingdom, which aims at "bringing many sons to glory."
Repentance and Transformation: The phrase "The Kingdom is at hand" signifies that we now have access to the Kingdom's mindset and understanding. To repent means to change your mind and align your understanding with the wisdom the Kingdom presents. Without this mental shift, merely changing actions is temporary, and one will slip back into old ways.
Dominion and Lifestyle: Kingdom living involves a specific manner of living and royalty. Dominion is defined as influence and the super-imposition of the right kind of thinking and understanding in one's sphere of influence. The goal is for the kingdoms of this world to become the Kingdom of our God, birthed through transformation that comes by revelation.
This sermon, titled "Kingdom Advance II" by Pastor Chingtok Ishaku, explores the profound, often challenging, requirements for understanding, stewarding, and manifesting the Kingdom of God on Earth. It moves beyond traditional religious concepts to emphasize deep discernment, a changed mindset, and daily faithfulness.
Key Summary Points:1. Discernment Over Commitment
The Parable Principle: The parables of the Kingdom either add to those who have the Kingdom within them or take away from those who do not. The appearance of the Kingdom often will not respect your context and may even offend those who lack true understanding (like John the Baptist).
Discernment is Core: Commitment is not enough to navigate the Kingdom's appearance; discernment is the core requirement.
Purity of Breed: God will not build with a mixture of satanic and godly concepts. Pure breed means being unmixed, not just without sin. Sin has a solution, but mixing does not.
2. The Nature of Kingdom Secrets and Glory
Mystery as Manifestation: To God, mystery is not just revelation but manifestation. The highest dimension of glory is being committed with the secrets of God (mysteries).
The Cost of Mindset: Entering the Kingdom costs you everything, but the "all" you must sell is mindset, not merely money. You cannot seek the Kingdom and depend on the approval of men.
Knowledge to Manifestation: Knowing the secrets of God is insufficient; you must advance to believing that knowledge until you see its manifestation. The mysteries of the Kingdom are useless if they do not lead to a revealed dimension of life that unsits a present system.
3. The Son of Man's Responsibility
The Role of Man: The extent of God's rulership on Earth is dependent on the availability of men (the Son of Man). The authority to decide the finality of what happens on Earth is given to the son.
You Permit What Happens: If anything wrong is happening on Earth, it is because you, the son of man, permitted it.
The Highest Form of Flesh: Everything that opposes the Kingdom in a believer is the flesh, and the highest form of flesh is religion.
Repentance is for Seekers: The word "repent" is not just for unbelievers but for kingdom seekers. Repentance means going back and changing the pattern of the building (your thoughts and beliefs) to align with God's frequency.
4. Practical Kingdom Living
Familiarity is an Enemy: You need to pray, "Lord, rid me off of familiarity with your word." You miss the essence of scripture when you approach it with what you already think you know.
Authority and Service: To maintain or gain an increase in authority, you must increase service.
The sermon issues a powerful warning: Do not underestimate your present-day thinking. It determines the measure of the Kingdom you can manifest.
This sermon teaches what it means to give by faith starting from the foundation which is LOVE: "we love by Faith, Patience and Actions.' It also shared practical ways a believer can give by Faith. '"Giving by Faith is the only way our giving can attract rewards"
Listen and be blessed.
This message by Pastor Chingtok Ishaku centers on faith not just as a religious concept, but as the essential, active, and daily lifestyle required for a believer to fulfill their purpose: to usher in and represent the Kingdom of God on earth.
Key Summary Points:
Faith is Essential and Comprehensive: Faith is the only thing that pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). The same salvation that saved you from sin also provided healing, wholeness (Shalom), and the ability to live above poverty. Your faith must be comprehensive; if you believe it saves you from sin, you must believe it saves you from sickness and poverty.
The Kingdom Mandate: God saved you for "Kingdom Come." Heaven is not an escape, and your purpose is not merely to get there. You were saved to be the "son of man" upon whose shoulder God will bring the Kingdom. The well-being (riches, living above sin/sickness) is so you can reveal the Kingdom without restraint when God demands representation.
Faith is Active Daily Exercise: Faith is not defined by what you can see or by outcomes, but by use and belief. The faith you don't exercise daily will fail you when the Kingdom demands a response. Compromise includes failing to birth what God expects even when nothing is at stake.
The Path of a Man of Faith: A man of faith never takes the path of least resistance (the easiest way). He moves in the direction of conviction, revelation, and belief. Choosing the easy option is choosing to live outside of faith.
The Power of Speaking: You have a responsibility to speak what God has said. "It is not the word of faith until you speak it." The word of God goes where the voice of the man of Faith goes. A "dumb generation of believers" who do not believe in speaking prevents God's intention from being manifested on the earth.
Overcoming Earthly Constraints: Worry, fear, and covetousness are bound to the earth and are things you must disallow and resist. Worry is not normal; it is something you permit. To overcome the pressure (of the earthen vessel), you must keep your mind on the treasure (heavenly reality) and declare the word of the Lord.
Four Requirements for Kingdom Come: The Kingdom requires the Son of man, Faith, Deep Knowledge, and Sacrifice unto Death (loving not their lives unto death, Revelation 12:10-12).
Pastor Chingtok Ishaku wraps up the anniversary conference and celebrations and thanksgiving.
God-Life Assembly is grateful to God for a new day
This message, presented by Prophet Edem Julius-Cudjoe, clarifies the nature and function of faith within the Christian life. It asserts that believers already possess the same measure of faith as Jesus and emphasizes that faith is an active tool for living and accessing what God's grace has already provided, requiring constant exercise and declaration.
Key Summary Points:
You Already Have Faith: The primary issue in the church is asking people to acquire what they already possess. Every believer was given a measure of faith (Romans 12:3)—the exact same faith Jesus used (Romans 3:21). You are a believer because of the faith already at work in you.
Faith is the Accessor, Grace is the Producer: Faith is not a creator. It is the accessor that lays hold of what grace (the producer) has already made available (Ephesians 4:24, Titus 2:11). If grace hasn't produced something, faith cannot access it.
Defining Faith by Use, Not Size: The difference between "little" and "great" faith is defined by its usage, not its quantity. Faith is meant for living ("The just shall live by faith"), meaning you need it for every daily act—driving, working, sleeping, and even forgiving (offences are forgotten by faith, not by time).
Faith is an Active Servant: Faith is a servant you must not give rest to (Luke 17:7). It is a muscle that must be exercised constantly. When you perceive God as faithful, God, in turn, perceives you in faith (Romans 10:6-8).
The Necessity of Speaking: Faith involves declaration. "Anytime you see 'by faith' there wasn't silence." Revelation is the discovery, and Rhema is the speaking of it. To fully engage your faith, you must speak what God has spoken concerning your life (Psalms 39:2, Hebrews 13:6).
Pastor Chingtok Ishaku, highlights the singular and comprehensive nature of God's power that is accessed through faith, emphasizing that the same power that accomplishes one thing in a believer's life is sufficient to accomplish all others.
Key Summary Points:
Channelling God's Power: The privilege of the man of faith is the ability to actively channel the power of God toward specific needs or directions.
The Guarantee of Unified Power: If one thing is working in your life by God's power (like salvation), you are guaranteed that the same power is active and capable of making all other things work—including healing and prosperity.
Overcoming Doubt: When facing threats or sickness, believers should identify what God is already doing in their lives and maintain the consciousness that this single, saving power is sufficient for every other need. To remain in sickness is to wrongly believe that the power that saved you cannot also heal you.
Comprehensive Wholeness (Shalom): The sacrifice of Christ accomplished more than just salvation; it guaranteed healing and prosperity. Shalom is understood not just as peace of mind, but as a peace that guarantees total wholeness.
Exceeding the Master: No disciple is limited by their master; rather, the master becomes the beginning threshold for the disciple's own journey and potential.
This sermon, delivered by Reverend Abraham Biyasa, is centered on the profound nature of the Kingdom of God, emphasizing that the believer's true purpose is to understand, experience, and bring that Kingdom reality to Earth, not merely to escape to Heaven.
Key Summary Points:
The Power of God's Word: A single word from God has the power to drastically change your life, moving you from the "back to the front."
The Problem of Neutralization: The Church and mankind have been "neutralized," which prevents the experience of Kingdom living. The enemy actively tries to get people to leave the church to kill their spiritual vitality.
Identity and Mission: Believers are not moving in competition; they are kings over their own territories (fields) and are sent on a divine assignment and mission to the earth.
Enlightenment Over Struggle: In the Kingdom, you don't struggle to get things; your eyes must be opened (enlightened) to the reality of what you already have. Knowledge and understanding (not excitement) are the entry points to experiencing the Kingdom.
The Kingdom Mandate: You are not born again to go to heaven or for "fire insurance." You are born again to be a mobile Kingdom carrier, trained to bring heaven down on earth. The church's mandate is to reveal the Kingdom of God, not to make "customers" through teaching traditions, but to make disciples through The Truth.
The Progression of the Kingdom Life: Kingdom life is progressive and involves: 1) Following ("...come follow me..."), 2) Making ("...I will make you..."), and 3) Leadership ("...fishers of men...").
Reality and Perspective: Your heavenly reality is your actual reality, influencing the earthly realm. You don't see things as they are; you see things as you are (based on your current knowledge and belief system). Only what is in the Kingdom realm is a true reality.
Pastor Chingtok closes out Day 2 with Prayers and declarations
The core theme revolves around the Church's identity and its critical role in prophecy.
The Church's Identity and FunctionThe fundamental principle is that the Church is the Body of Christ, and its purpose is to carry out the intention of the Head (Christ). This understanding necessitates submission (which is of the heart) and recognition of authority.
Misunderstanding the Body of Christ leads believers to focus on rising in rank rather than their true place and function.
The ultimate proof of loving Christ (the head) is loving His Body.
Holiness is not an attainment but a reality in the spirit, which the church's corrections merely translate.
Destiny helpers are found from God, not men, and they are a blessing.
The Timeline of the Lord's Coming
The Church is held responsible for the timeline of the Lord's coming.
A crisis will plague the church, compelled by disobedience to the gospel.
There is a blessing for expecting the coming of the Lord Jesus.
The Rapture is Christ coming for His own; the Second Coming is His own coming with Him.
The Book of John is described as prophetic, not synoptic.
Spiritual Growth and Relationship with GodDiscipleship is defined as arriving at mastery in hearing God.
This mastery requires a teacher, as the easiest way to hear God is through His voice in another man's voice.
We have the same glory and are loved the same way God loved Jesus.
Certain life elements are part of the government of God (purpose, gender, etc.) where humanity had no choice.
Greatness is seen in how you handle offense, and one should not let enemies or circumstances steal focus.
Prophecies
Prophecies point to a season of restoration and new beginnings (symbolized by the number 16). The vision of wind and clouds (black, white, and mixed) suggests a current spiritual operation affecting different individuals within the church. A new set of songs and an enlarging of graces—speeding up spiritual progress—are prophesied for the choir and individuals ("stem cells").
This message focuses on the superior advantage believers possess through Christ's intercession, their earthly Kingly mandate, and the necessity of spiritual transformation to fulfill the Kingdom's agenda.
I. The Advantage of the High Priest, Jesus
The central premise is that Jesus going to the Father is a greater advantage for believers than any benefit He had on Earth.
Intercession: Jesus now lives to intercede for us in His High Priestly office. This intercession has two dimensions: Mercy, which qualifies us, and Grace, which leads us to truth and helps us finish perfectly.
Equality with Christ: We possess the Holy Spirit in the same measure Jesus did. The unique advantage we have is Jesus the High Priest interceding on our behalf, which is not an advantage the Holy Spirit gives us over Jesus, but an advantage through Him.
Redemption's Luxury: Unlike Jesus during His earthly ministry, believers today have the "luxury for redemption"—nothing is too broken to be fixed if one accepts it can be fixed.
II. The Kingdom Mandate and Earthly Rulership
Pastor Chingtok clarifies the two offices of Jesus and the believer's role in the world.
Christ's Offices: The Priestly office is heavenly (intercession), but the Kingly office is earthly. The blood of Jesus purchased not just personal redemption but also the right to the rulership of nations.
Believer's Rulership: As far as God is concerned, the kings of the earth have been replaced by those who rule in Zion. Kingdom emissaries must possess Kingdom reflections in their lives and accept what Jesus purchased personally.
Confronting Worry: God confronts worry because it indicates a man's commitment to the earthly realm rather than the Kingdom. The pursuit of the Kingdom requires believers to look beyond their earthly problems and tribulations.
III. Transformation and Spiritual WarfareSpiritual transformation is paramount and is tied directly to Christ's return.
Compelling Christ's Return: It is our changing that will compel Jesus' appearing, not the other way around. God upgrades a generation by upgrading their sight. New revelation is a responsibility, not just a preaching tool.
Dealing with Emotion: When emotions are high, a believer must wait for the Lord to purify them to avoid looking for Scripture to justify how they feel.
Warfare: The primary warfare is the earthen vessel losing faith in the treasure they carry because God cannot express what one has lost faith in. God regulates pressure to prevent total loss of faith.
IV. Destiny and Ministry
Call and Response: Your call predated your creation; your separation is your response to that call.
Compelling Destiny: Believers are sometimes required to compel others into their destiny by instructing them to follow, overcoming the carnal mind that sees their current establishment.
Faithfulness, Not Crowd: In the end, what matters is faithfulness to what we were given, not the size of the crowd gathered.
The core message emphasizes the importance of approaching God's word with humility, reverence, and faith-filled declaration, rather than familiarity or a sense of "attainment."
Key Summary Points:
Avoid Familiarity and Limitation: Assuming you already know what a scripture means limits what God can reveal to you. We must not approach the word with a sense of attainment, but with the knowledge that there is grace for more revelation and understanding.
Cultivate Reverence: God intends for us to not just be proficient with His word, but to tremble at it, showing deep reverence and awe.
Discipline Your Speech: The tongue is our most powerful weapon, easily wielded by anyone, regardless of physical state. We must train ourselves to be swift to hear and slow to speak, becoming people of noble speech.
Declare Your Faith: We must actively declare the word of the Lord, affirming: "This is the word of the Lord and I believe." This involves proclaiming what God has spoken concerning your life to train yourself to believe it.
Embrace Your Identity: You are encouraged to live with the mentality of a "GOD man," declaring this identity and acting upon it everywhere you go. A careless tongue can undo everything you have heard or received, stressing the need for disciplined, faith-filled speech.
Pastor Chingtok wraps up Day 1 Of The GLA 16TH Anniversary 2025.
This sermon summary, titled "Concepts on the Kingdom," focuses on the nature of the Kingdom of God, the importance of God's idea (Word), and the necessity of the Church and Faith for transformation.
1. The Nature of the Kingdom
Finished Reality: Everything God has planned for you is already finished; it is not "going to be." There is no construction taking place in heaven.
Realm of Rule: The Kingdom is the territory and realm where the King (God) rules and where His power, character, and dominion are felt.
Above the Physical: The Kingdom is not about space, time, or matter. Therefore, the physical things you see do not dictate who you are. Nothing is real on earth; the only reality is the Kingdom.
Infinite Possibility: God is infinite possibilities and is "more than you are seeing." The miracle of the five loaves and two fish demonstrates the concept of infinity from which the Kingdom operates.
2. The Supremacy of God's Idea
The Idea Problem: The real challenge is that people don't want God's idea; they only want the "stuff" (blessings). You cannot have the stuff until you have God's idea. You don't have a money or health problem; you have an idea problem.
The Word Straightens: Anytime you see "the word of the Lord" in Scripture, it indicates God's idea. When the Word comes to you, it straightens out your thinking and creates the "straight way" God desires for His movement (Isaiah 40:1-6, 8).
Transformation: Transformation is only transformation as long as your mind is willing to align with God's ideas. The warfare is over when your ideas align with God's.
3. Kingdom Technology and Practice
Faith is the Technology: Faith is the kingdom technology that allows you to freely receive what is already given to you. The manifestation of God's Glory—which is the manifestation of His Kingdom and often associated with wealth (Genesis 31:1)—can only be received by this technology.
The Role of the Church: The Church is vital because it is where you are helped to find out why you arrived (your purpose). It helps you rid yourself of "Claentitis"—the condition where an ambassador (you) is changed by the place instead of changing the place.
Prayer's Purpose: The purpose of prayer is not to convince God to hear you, but that you receive the Idea (God's plan).
Functioning in the Kingdom: To receive God's manifestation, you must flatten the high places and smoothen the rough places (obstacles/wrong ideas) in your life. When you function from the spiritual realm of the Kingdom, warring is no longer continuous as it is in the physical realm.
The essence of the message is that receiving God's unchanging, finished ideas is the key to experiencing the reality and power of the Kingdom now.
