Grace N Truth

THE KINGDOM OF GOD -Part 59 - by J. Preston Eby "Let me help, Mommy!" cries little Mary to her busy Mom. She then proceeds to mop the floor with streaks and messy wet and dry spots here and there. Having finished, she eyes it with a satisfied sigh and says, "Didn't I do good, Mommy?" Her mother stands back and with a cheerful smile replies, "Yes, sweetheart, you did a wonderful job!" Now, does that mother need Mary's help to get her house clean? Not really. In fact, Mary's childish efforts at "helping" actually create more work for her mother. As soon as Mary is out of the house Mom will quickly re-mop that floor! But she knows that Mary needs to learn how to do housework, and feel the importance of her contribution, because one day Mary will have her own house to clean! The question follows -- Does our heavenly Father really need our puny help with the accomplishing of His great universal Kingdom work? Not really, for He is

THE KINGDOM OF GOD -Part 55 - THE INCREASE OF THE KINGDOM by J. Preston Eby. Many a sermon has been preached on the rule of the Kingdom of God on earth, and I think most of them have missed the mark because they see only God reigning over His Kingdom. The greatest mystery of the ages is that seated at the right hand of God today is a MAN. God came down from heaven and invaded humanity, He took upon Himself the nature and the body of a man, so that when He went back to the throne (His omnipotent power in the Spirit), He would take humanity back to the throne. There is no mystery to it that God sits on the throne, He belongs there; but to think now that MAN is sitting on the throne! "Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs...THIS JESUS hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore BEING BY THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD EXALTED..." (Acts 2:22,32-33). There is confirmation of this in Acts 7:55-56 where we read

THE KINGDOM OF GOD -Part 55 - THE INCREASE OF THE KINGDOM by J. Preston Eby. Dominion means to live in authority, to reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. God is teaching His sons in this hour to live victoriously! With the pen of inspiration Daniel wrote of this Kingdom-Dominion: "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before Him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: and his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed" (Dan. 7:13-14). Daniel said that he saw something in the night visions. He saw one like unto the Son of man. There was given unto Him dominion, glory, and a kingdom. These were given Him for the purpose that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. It describes His dominion as

For Enos, was the son of Seth, and Seth was the son of Adam, and Adam was the son of God . Luke 3:38 Many times I've asked others "When did God subject His son (Adam) to vanity?" "...And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground..." Did not creation come from the ground? But bless God for Deep calleth unto deep. Ive been studying the Kingdom of God for hmmmm a year or more and should be finished the study soon. Today in my studying I was blessed by this--->For thou hast made him (man) a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Psalm 8:5 I looked up the word "angels" to see the Hebrew meaning for in a Hebrew bible it reads "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? Thou madest him a little lower that Elohim." Of course changing angels to Elohim will cause me to root around for its the call within. As I looked up the word "angels" I did see
