The Kingdom of God is " inside" You !
Cut off the 'Middle Man" - (religion) - The Religious Marketplace Broker; and lay it before the feet of Yahshua.
"Return to only GOD Himself"
and spit out 'all' those heated, prickly, doctrine briers, ( yes, 'all' of them ) they have put in your mouth that want to stick to your lips, then you'll be able to 'start fresh with G-d'
These people honor me with their
lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is pointless,
because their teachings are rules made by humans. ( religious man-devised
gimmicks;
contraptions = called 'doctrines' )
The only 'exception' is the Actual Gospel Story itself !
(In other words, Do what they say Don't do what they do)
then you'll be able to
"START FRESH"
With God
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,
"you"
will never enter the kingdom of heaven"
Yes, . . . This is What . . . Repentance is referring to !
Change the way you think and act in regard to
what it 'really' takes to please G-d.
Become "Like a little child" instead
DROP WHAT MAN MADE 'RELIGIOUS TRADITION RULES' HAVE GUIDED YOU WITH -AND- START ALL OVER AGAIN SEEKING G-D'S WISDOM FROM HIS HOLY SPIRIT ONLY TO GUIDE YOU JUST AS IF YOU WERE A LITTLE CHILD INSTEAD.
( This is what the new covenant is all about ! Yahshua is the Messiah that 'implemented' this new covenant and made it so that 'you' are no longer 'bridled' to what some ecclesiastical mortal Relentlessly teaches about what they rationalize God means by something that is just written on paper! )
Think of it more like it's " A Gentleman's Word of Honor style of Agreement" with G-d Himself, instead of a bible lecture - liability kind of relationship.
Why is it 'greater' to perceive it more like a 'Gentleman's
Word of Honor style of
Agreement with God' ?
Because that is what turns it into a warm and 'heart-felt'
promise; A promise that is sealed by mutual 'respect' and 'trust'. . . Between
'you' and G-d 'Himself ' . . . unlike a 'religious' courtroom paper 'attitude' contract that is frankly 'cold-hearted'; made dependable only because of the
possibility of 'mistrust' regardless of 'respect', or 'dignity', and
always carry's a 'whiff' of 'disdain' and contemptuous 'mistrust'.
'You' are no longer bridled by what humans Teach about God; other than the Actual Gospel Story itself?
The Holy Spirit - in Power (our "Fathers Spirit") ('The Breath of Yahshua) teaches us the rest of all things, and recalls what 'Yahshua Himself' says, to us personally !
Yes, we are to preach (circulate) the Actual Gospel itself to the whole world; and what is the Gospel?
Again
The 'kosher', authentic Gospel directs us to tell everyone who will receive it, to trust in Yahshua
God's Only Begotten Son
doing 'the works' necessary for us to have our sins forgiven and to put us in a position to receive God's Baptism in His Holy Spirit - with Power.. He even told the disciples, don't do anything until the Holy Spirit comes ! leaving us in the hands of G-d's advocate, The Holy Spirit ... and ... that our responsibility is to lead others
(those who receive it) to that 'very same' advocate.
For the "First time" in the history of mortal man, (G-d's own Spirit), The Holy Spirit was put in the position of being G-d's chosen Teacher and Guide (our Personal Trainer) for those who believe in Him; instead of a 'mortal priesthood'.
Yahshua is the 'ONE' who made this possible by the works He did here on planet earth. That is why Yahshua is the "Messiah".
"And That Is The Gospel that Yahshua asked the disciples to spread to the ends of the world."
God's " Own Spirit " is Our Guide and our Teacher
The Gospel is the story of how Yahshua purchased that advocacy for us by the
shedding of His blood, His death and resurrection and asking Our Father to send
the Holy Spirit -with Power- to those who "Believe".
This is what 'Repent' The Kingdom of God is at Hand points to:
'Cut off' the 'Religion' stuff and it's 'bible thumping clergy doctrine' stuff.
and
Replace it with that 'Word of Honor' Promise that Yahshua spoke of; and baptizes with.
Receive the Holy Spirit with the same faith an 'innocent child' would;
Trust in it!
Respect it!
Last Call !
The Holy Ghost Does not function as a ' Clergy Picker ' ,
but
functions - in Power - by dwelling in your 'soul', Guiding, and Teaching those who Trust and Respect God's only begotten Son !
Individually, unmistakably, and transparently. They, are His 'ecclesia'; the church that Yahshua Himself is building.
Yahshua has 'given light' for this direction of building 'His' church rather than working through a 'formal' appointed mortal priesthood;
in obedience of doing the will of The Father (G-d Himself)
Our Father ( Himself ) said :
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
"Not"
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;
'I ' will put 'My' law (my rules) (my own understanding) : ( it's the same law that ' He' gave to Moses , except it's the 'Spirit of the Law version ' instead of the ' Letter of the law version' ) in THEIR inward parts, and write it in THEIR hearts; and will be THEIR God, and THEY shall be my people.
And THEY shall Teach No More every man his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, Know the LORD: for THEY shall ALL know me,
from the least of THEM to the greatest of THEM, said the LORD: for I will forgive THEIR iniquity,
and
I will remember THEIR sins no more.
Again; Think of it as " A Gentleman's Word of Honor style of Agreement" with G-d Himself;
instead of a bible lecture liability kind of relationship.
The Messiah
The Son of God, Yahshua is the One who made this effective.
He accomplished it thru the works He did right here on planet earth.
His opening words " Repent - The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand.
and
His Life, Crucifixion, Raising from the dead, and asking our "Father"
to send the Holy Ghost - with Power to those who believe
~
Is the finished work of the Gospel Story itself !
and How God's "new covenant" was delivered.
It became public by the spreading of this Good News by His Disciples. And continues to be circulated today by those who believe the Gospel Story.
Consider the ant, Watch its ways, and become wise.
