Gloria Copeland — Living In Heaven’s Blessing Now Part 2
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
We can live our lives in love, peace, joy,
prosperity, health and victory. We can also
bring those kingdom blessings to others who
are still under the dominion of darkness.
“If Christians can do that,” you may ask,
“why don’t they?”
Mostly it’s because they haven’t been very
aware of the kingdom of God. They have been
so absorbed in the kingdom of this world—
the world that they can see and touch—
they haven’t given much thought to God’s
kingdom. They’re so caught up in the busyness
of this natural world and its demands, so
familiar with its way of operating, that they’re
practically strangers to the operations of the
kingdom of God.
But we can change that, in the Name of
Jesus! We can obey the instruction of the
Apostle Paul who wrote: “Aim at and seek the
[rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where
Christ [the Anointed One] is, seated at the
right hand of God. And set your minds and
keep them set on what is above (the higher
things), not on the things that are on the
earth” (Colossians 3:1-2, The Amplified Bible).
By studying and meditating on what the
Word has to say about the kingdom of God,
we can become more and more kingdom-of-
God minded. There is so much information in
the Word about the kingdom of God, I could
talk about it for hours—and I have. Brother
Jesse Duplantis says Ken and I are the only
preachers he knows who can preach on the
same sermon for a year. But we can’t help it!
That’s how long it takes us to get through!
I challenge you to take up this
study on your own from here. Get out your
concordance and look up all the references
to the kingdom of God or the kingdom of
heaven. I believe the New Testament uses
them interchangeably. Let the reality of that
kingdom get down in your heart so that you
are aware of it every day.
