Today I am taking you a step further in understanding of the revelation by the Holy Spirit of the words of Jesus spoken to us in Mark.4:11 which reads these words: And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

We as the lovers and followers of Jesus must place a demand on our ability to understand how the Kingdom works. Jesus came to reveal truth to us and certainly not to withhold anything necessary for our life and godliness.

In John.14:9 & 10 we read these words: Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

We tend to erroneously believe that Jesus wants us to be ignorant of the operations of the Kingdom but that is a fallacy.

Jesus chides Philip on having walked with Him so long yet he does not know Jesus. How about all the teachings Philip had received from being around Jesus all the time? What of all the miracles Philip had witnessed Jesus do? What of all the miracles Jesus performed in which Philip played a role in their execution?

Jesus questions what Philip has done with all he has seen and done being around Jesus. Our service for Jesus requires us knowing His ways in order to walk in His paths.

I came to the understanding fairly quickly in my relationship with the Holy Spirit that the Kingdom operation of Jesus is not in word only but in deed. So as I followed the Lord I observed that the Holy Spirit continually challenged me to do greater things for the Kingdom particularly as my understanding of the operations of the Kingdom increased. I realized that I was chosen to demonstrate the Kingdom, not just talk about it without manifesting its results with signs and wonders.

I fasted, prayed fervently and persistently and sought the Lord daily by studying the word to get further insight into how the Kingdom manifests on our behalf. The whole of Mark.4 on the parable of the sower encapsulates the workings of the kingdom.

So once we are able to understand how to sow the word in any life situation without doubting we will receive in harvest proportion the word we sowed because the Lord will never fail in doing His part to support us.

In John.20:30 & 31 we read these words: And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. The Holy Spirit said to me that anything written in the word concerning Jesus that I believe, understand and choose to follow I can experience.

This means that if I could only believe the promises of these words, put them in my heart by speaking them through meditation day and night they would become part of my daily experience. Believe me the Holy Spirit is faithful to accomplish every word spoken by Jesus and manifest the miraculous on our behalf if we follow the process.

What of the words of Jesus to us in John.14:12 which reads these words: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. Do you believe that Jesus meant what He said here that the works He did we would do and greater works?

Mary said in John.2 that whatever Jesus says obey. Well Jesus said the works He did we will do and greater works. Have you healed the sick? Have you delivered the oppressed from the hands of the devil?

When we look at the miracles Jesus performed as His followers we should do exactly as He did in every situation where a healing or deliverance is needed. We should never shy from the challenge Jesus gave us as His followers to do. In the book of the Acts we see Jesus’s followers doing the same signs and wonders Jesus performed on a daily basis to demonstrate the Kingdom.

It is vitally important for us as followers of Jesus to understand the operations of the Kingdom to be effective witnesses of Jesus for men to see the Kingdom of Jesus manifested on earth.

How about Mark.16:15-18 which read these words: And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Where do you stand concerning these words? You need to wake up out of sleep by coming to the realization that whatever you need to do in order to align with the understanding of the Kingdom to have these miracles, signs and wonders manifest in your lives you need you to pursue diligently. Jesus does not lie. So if He said these signs will follow those who believe then we need to see these signs follow us because we believe.

It is not enough to say you believe and have no signs following. You must press into the understanding of the workings of the Kingdom as I am sharing with you to see the completion of your words sown manifesting in the natural with the corresponding miracles, signs and wonders.

Let these words from the Holy Spirit stir up a holy anger in you to lay hold of the truth of the Kingdom manifesting in your lives going forward. It is your God given right to walk in what Jesus willed for you to experience here on earth. Get busy by allowing the grace supplied in these words to work for you the miraculous of signs and wonders following you to expand the Kingdom of Jesus. Amen.
