MANIFESTO OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE KINGDOM DE GOD

1)     .The Church is the set of all believers in Christ around the world

2)      The people who make up the Church is the holy nation, a people for God to announce his virtues, (1-P.2.9).

3)     .In the government of God, Jesus Christ is the King, and exercised the sovereignty of his kingdom in his own people, through his Word, the Holy Spirit, and his angels.

4)     . Although the "weeds" is infiltrated into the kingdom of God, this is growing by the work that runs the Holy Spirit and with the believers until the end of our Savior apart and take time out to "children of the wicked, "and he, in person, we make formal delivery of his Kingdom fully.

5)     .The Kingdoms or governments of the world are not part of the Kingdom of God, but he can not share, for the Bible clearly teaches us that "the whole world lieth in wickedness" (1 Jn.5.19), as the ordinary people remains "followed the ways of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience me." (Jn. 14:30). "(Eph 2.2). Jesus himself said: "I will not talk much with you; for the ruler of this world, and hath nothing in me.

6)     . The true people of God must obey the commandment not have commitments partnership with the people of the world, because the Bible says: "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness? ... Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, dwell and walk among them, and be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty (2 Cor 6.14-18).

7)     .The Christians should associate with each other in all that human life requires, so integrated as members of the very body of Christ can make evident the justice of the Kingdom of God, inspired by love, seeks to fill all our expectations a full and abundant life, as we want our Savior (Jn. 10:10), free from misery and injustice, but with gratitude to our Lord and King for his wonderful plan of salvation for humanity.

THE BEST GOVERNMENT

   Do you know what system of government is the most complete and full of possibilities that exists to end injustice and suffering? Well you see. The knowledge of this system was a secret understood by few. Over time their mysteries have been revealing, especially those that break the bonds of ineffective enslaving religious ritualism.

   This major project is already in action. Many, without knowing it, are part of it consciously and positively. Others, however, are adversaries it. The clogged, so they discredit or discourage people not to think of it as something real and current. This system is called the "Kingdom of God".

  His leadership is in the hands of Jesus Christ, the savior king , who offers forgiveness of sins through the merits of his martyrdom, and his name is given freely the gift of the Holy Spirit to live a new and fulfilling life within their own people, their holy nation, a nation that does not shy away this human realities, but integrates them without losing their identity. To achieve this it is organized, practice and defend their own values such as holiness, solidarity and equality, among others. Its history, values, guidelines and perspectives are reflected in the most important book of the universe: the Holy Bible.

  

   

BLOCKING THE WAY

   The opponent of our Heavenly Father knows that you can not destroy this kingdom but its growth may obstruct or deny distorting reality (Acts 13. 6-10).

   One of the many ways is to plant in the minds of many believers, incoherent and petty, "that rise against the knowledge of God" (2 Cor 10.5) Childish, for example, is the argument of those who claim the same Jesus Christ is both a king and a kingdom.

  

   It is as if a person could be herself a country which was its president. We are so accustomed to religious fantasies, born of fear, ignorance and passions; we tend to move away from what makes us reasonable and sometimes difficult to do the most elementary realistic reflections.

  

   Neither Jesus nor the Church is the kingdom of God. Jesus is king. The Church is the group of people in which and through which he wants to exercise the sovereignty of their government.

  

TO WIN WITHOUT VIOLENCE

    Nonviolence is not the same as passive resignation to the disturbing agents of peace. Nonviolence is the art of winning the war by peaceful means, "the armor of righteousness right and left" as Christian Scripture proclaims, (2-Co.6.7), "And that, knowing the time, that it is high time to awake out of sleep, for now is salvation nearer to us than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is near. Therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the works of light (Ro.13.11-12).

    As the Lamb of God "went out conquering and to conquer" (Ap.6.2), so Christians must unite and organize ourselves so that God, through his Spirit, who is in us both to will like do of his good will, (Fil.2.13), give us the victory that produces the sovereignty of his government in us, as the community of the people we are.

    The great Deliverer of our souls said: "Behold, I send you as sheep among wolves; Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves "(Mt.10.16). So that humility and prudence are two of the "armor of light" that we have. Paul adds: "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ef.6.11-12).

    But, "Who is he that will harm you, if you follow good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. Therefore, do not be dismayed for fear of them, nor be troubled, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to do this with gentleness and respect to everyone who asks you a reason of the hope that is in you , having a good conscience, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ "(1-P.3.13-16).

    In the early days of the Christian Church they had "favor with all the people" (Hch.2.47). Because having "good conscience" is to have the satisfaction of accomplishment, to design, establish and promote plans, programs and real and concrete projects "that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Mt. 5.16). "For this is the will of God; that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men; as free, but not as those who have freedom as a pretext for evil (eg indolence and social indifference, disorganization), but as servants of God, (1-P.2.15-16).

    Win without violence is thus essentially creating conditions of justice and social development, so you can really exist, at least within the people of God, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he that in this serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. Let us pursue what makes for peace and to mutual edification. "(Ro.14.17-19)

HOLY WAR

    Jesus Christ said: "Think not that I came to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. "(Mt.10.34) The apostle Paul added: "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power ..." 1-Co.4.20). The power of speech here is not one with which Satan and his forces of evil and subject us cringe; do not. To which Paul refers is the enormous resources that our Creator is making available for "do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Ro.12.21).

   Therefore, it is not about having a passive and resigned attitude toward the evil that oppresses us. Our members should be at the service of justice (Ro.6.19). Peace is the result of it. Therefore, the Master said, "... seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things (basic necessities like food, clothing, etc.) shall be added." (Mt.6.33).

   If each of us fulfills his duties well, as "a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (2-Ti.2.3), then all believers will "stand fast in one spirit, striving together for the faith of the gospel, and in nothing terrified by those opposing, which to them is a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation; and that of God. "(Fil.1.27-28).

   Those who fight "the good fight of faith" (1-Ti.6.12) did not use firearms, short pulse, or any other kind of weapons materials, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the destruction of fortresses "; (2-Co.10.4); even we should try to convince by force others in our convictions, (Mt.10.11-14).

    We have such noble means as is solidarity. All Christians surely will not be full agreement on many issues; but certainly we believe that if we adopt a common attitude towards many things we must do or not do in the sacred enjoy the freedom that gives us the social state of law in which we live, we will adopt such attitudes, to improve our conditions life, "for that reason you also pay taxes ..." (Ro.13.6).

   A palpable example of this is the great national liberation promoted and obtained Mahatma Gandhi, with only appeal to the right to freedom that the law gave him not to buy certain items that the British Empire was at their disposal. He overcame evil with good and St. Paul recommends us to do the Christians.

   This we will do when we wake up from the lethargy of resignation, indifference and irresponsibility to what the Messiah demand of us, (Mt.25.34-46; Ef.5.13-17). This does not mean we should be state employees, since we know that "... Worship the Lord your God, and serve him" because, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God" (Lc.4.8).

     As citizens who pay taxes assist us rights that may become useful tools for through collective acts (of the Church) can exalt our King Salvador sublime and wonderful kingdom that between us grows and grows like a great tree, where abused and neglected the world to dwell safely sheltered from its branches. (Mt.13.31-32)

BUYING MIRACLES

   Someone was told: "Your money  perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God with money. You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, will you perhaps be forgiven the thought of your heart; because of bitterness and captive to sin I see you "(Hch.8.20-23)

   Who do you think that these words were addressed? To an avid contemporary shepherd of his flock soliciting money in exchange for miracles of prosperity? Or perhaps maybe a skillful salesman who sells lottery cash for many people the illusion come to possess great wealth without having to work? DO NOT.

   These words of the Apostle Paul addressed a character who was a master manipulator of ignorance of the people, a manipulator of profession taking advantage of some knowledge of magic he possessed. Now, after expressing regret and desire for change, he helped Paul in spreading the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Despite big leadership position continued to believe that our Savior favors can be purchased.

   This same concept-feeling today is exploited by some "cabs"; not because they so believe, but they do believe the molding masses of people, the most vulnerable those interested more in their selfish personal claims that the plans God has for freeing humanity from the corruption that is in the world (2-Peter 1.4)

   The good news of the kingdom of God, in its present stage of development, is in effect between us he says that our Creator wants prosperity for all its people, and not for a few, because the Spirit of God dwells in us must prompt us to solidarity, mutual aid organized. "Therefore let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding." (Ro.14.19).

FIRST THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

    The people of God is a holy nation called to be as integrated as members of one body. Solidarity must act because God's love has been poured into our hearts (Ro.5.5), not vain or selfish interests. In this sense we are told that "though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, I gain nothing" (1-Co.13.3).

    Our solidarity, as participants of the Kingdom of God must be a priority with our family in the faith. "So, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those of the household of faith" (Gá.6.10). Because ... "It is good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs" (Mt.15.26). Let's examine what the Master instructed us: "For if you love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? They do not even the publicans so? (Mt.5.46-47). But the fact of loving strangers and enemies does not mean that we stop our brothers in the background. 2-Cr. 19.1-2 we read: "Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned safely to his home in Jerusalem.

    And he went out to meet Jehu son of Hanani the seer, and said to King Jehoshaphat: thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? As it has left the anger of the LORD against you for this. "And Saint John says: "Dear friend, you drive when you pay a service to the brethren, especially to strangers, who have borne witness of your love church; You will do well to send forward worthily of his service to God, to continue their journey. For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may cooperate with the truth. "

    When Jesus is revealed as judge questioned what was done or did not do "his brethren" (Mt.25.40, 45). And who are the brothers of Jesus? The same Word answers: "Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it "(Lk 8.19-21 One of the promises of our Savior is the reward not lose even for a glass.. water we give to someone for being a "brother" or "disciple" of Christ. So, if we have great "treasures in heaven" (Mt.6.19-21) get organized so that we can mutually serve. The enjoyment is not only after the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth, but now, for the principles that give life and identity to the holy nation of God (1P.2.9) allow us to live the abundant life together and harmony, as our Lord Jesus prayed to his heavenly Father was granted.

IS NOT SUFFICIENT

   It is not enough for a person to have been forgiven of their sins, and be now without vices and observing a relative good behavior. We could not verify the fruits of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us believers not do justice of the Kingdom of God, living a selfish and petty faith.

   It is written: "And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire "(Luke 3.9), because" who knows to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin "(James 4:17); also because "in this the children of God is manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness, and who does not love his brother is not of God" (I Jn 3:10)

   So our Lord designed the creation of a kingdom, it was made his will on earth as in heaven (Mt 6.10), he may exercise sovereignty in their own nation, a people for him to proclaim the virtues of "He who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light." (IP 2.9).

WITH FEET ON THE GROUND

   The Body of Christ has his feet on the earth. We're so used to detach the actual God of human life and of his Church, which we conceive in our hearts but not in society. I do not speak of worldly society, but of us, the people of God, the holy nation.

    

   Until we integrate not we are real part of his body. We sense the Spirit and his presence is clear, but the body must be tangible. If there is no real unity there will be no evidence that God has a peculiar people, a nation among nations, and all this would not be entertaining fantasies of religious literature.

   

   It is our duty not to have commitments of association with the common people (2-Co. 6.14-18 and 7.1), although temporary or circumstantial have to join with them, which is not the same. But we must integrate the family of faith, to show the world that our righteousness may exceed theirs, because God's love has been poured into our hearts. Also show that the virtues of the Kingdom of God, in its present stage of development, makes it the most complete and sublime system of government of all time.

   

CENTRAL TOPIC OF THE BIBLE

    It is so supremely important to the Kingdom of God in our head sublime King Savior, Jesus Christ, which is the central theme of the Bible. Who understands their value will spare no effort or resources to invest in it, in exchange for a full and meaningful life for him as an individual, and for all God's people, as a community; and not only in this present life but for eternity (Mt 13.45-46)

    It was the first that John the Baptist began to preach (The Evangelist Matthew calls it "the kingdom of heaven" (Chapter 3.1-2) The same Master preached it from the beginning (Mt 4.17,23), and even after death and risen told about him (Acts 1.3). When commissioned the twelve disciples "sent them to preach the kingdom of God" (Luke 9.1-2). When sent to the other seventy two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he should go, also he told them to preach the kingdom of God (Lc10.1-9).

    The Messiah himself said: "It is necessary that other cities also preach the kingdom of God, for therefore am I sent" (Lc4.43) At the time of the early Church the kingdom of God is preached, (Acts 8.12 ) The apostle Paul said: "and Paul dwelt two whole years in a rented house (in Rome), and welcomed all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ, and unimpeded" (Acts 28.30-31).

IRREPROACHABLE RYEGRASS

   Satan comes and goes "like he owned the place" in the minds of the people of the world. But what is more entertaining and interesting is to have and maintain its dominance in invoking the name of his enemy, that is, our Savior Jesus Christ, by means not necessarily obvious or repulsive immorality.

   

   A Christian can have a "perfect" life; but the devil will be satisfied with it as it a useless development plan divine government wasted life. The Adversary makes, then, "weeds" in the Kingdom of God, and his fate will be terrible (Mt.13.40) if you do not wake up on time and take thought (Ef.5.14).

   

   John the Apostle says: "Dear friend, you drive when you pay a service to the brethren ..." (three-Jn.5). indeed; the greatness of the Christian is measured by the amount of service provided to the family of faith: "Jesus called them together and said," You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them . But among you it will not, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you shall be your servant; as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many "(Mt.20.25-28).

  

   Avoid, you can, have lives of waste, it is better to cooperate with God (1-Co.3.9) working for United (Col.4.11), and one of the ways is serving the "brethren" of the Messiah (Mt.25.40,45; Lc.8.20-21). He wants us to have "plenty" Jn.10.10), we live "For all the promises of God in him, yea, and in him Amen, by us, to the glory of God" (2-Co.1.20) . Also, remember that "whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say that not lose his reward." (Mt.10.42)

  

   Paul also said: "... through love serve one alos other. For all the law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself "(Gá.5.13-14).

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NO FOOD OR DRINK

   Some absent-minded persons  say    why Paul says that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink? Does not this mean that God is indifferent to the basic needs of believers or the human being in general?

    

   This expression of the Apostle Paul we must also understand in context. He says this in the same way a person says: "I do not call me a plate of food," meaning to imply that it is very little compared to other interests.

   

   Here those other, far more important, interest is justice, with which he not only will be "food and drink" but much more; and consequently there will be peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Elsewhere it says clearly: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things (food, clothing, etc.) shall be added," (Mt 6.25-33)

  

   But these things do not come for the sake of looking, but as a result of finding justice of the kingdom of God. It is as if someone is told: "Seek job, so you leave the poverty in which you find" The situation does not change the fact seek employment, but the compensation for their work. The justice of the kingdom of God is far above the religious susceptibilities of some individuals, as taught Chapter 14 of Paul's Epistle to the Romans.

   

   Paul also said: "! I wish you bear with me a little crazy! Yes, bear with me "means that this apostle was half mad? In any way. But to understand why he expressed himself that way and for what purpose he said it should be reviewed under what circumstances it occurred. Then, in the same Apostle he adds: "... Let no one be crazy my post". (2-Co.11. 1.16).
