The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon
The Kingdom of Heaven
Since the time of John the Baptiser until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and great is the number that eagerly, and in desperation, have seized hold of its truth.
Have you ever heard this reading from the scriptures: “The stone which the builders have rejected has become the honored cornerstone; this is the Lord’s doing, and marvelous in our eyes”? Behold, the kingdom of God will be taken from you who listen and do nothing, and will be given to a people working to bring forth fruit in their lives.
Beware of how you treat this message, for all of the sins of humankind will be forgiven, along with all of their blasphemies. But there is no reconciliation for those who, seeing evil as good and good as evil, blaspheme the Holy Spirit. This transgression is eternal. Heed these words. All about you, evil men and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of heaven ahead of you. These have heard the call to life and have turned to God, while the pious and religious have heard the call and have deliberately turned away.
Prayer is not achieved by repetition. It is not by reiterating “Lord, Lord,” that you will enter the kingdom of heaven, but by doing the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of your needs will be provided.

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble I pray that You hear my cry; reveal Thy will! I stand ready at the foot of the Cross to server You according to Your will. Aware that even in my darkest times, there are those in greater darkness, in my loneliest moments there are those more alone; for I know I wake with You each day and that these times and moments are passing as is everything under the sun, but my relationship with You is eternal, everlasting, always growing, so this is my prayer that in some way no matter how small You use me to touch someone for You today. Help me to walk in Your light and make that light visible to those who see me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Trials and tribulations offer us a chance to make reparation for our past faults and sins. On such occasions the Lord comes to us like a physician to heal the wounds left by our sins. Tribulation is the divine medicine.
— St. Augustine

22 and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Psalm 2:7-8, 10-12
Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
When Heaven Invades Earth Unabridged By Bill Johnson Narrated by Tim Lundeen – When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson explains how we are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.
