    The healing of the kingdom is the healing of our souls not our bodies, which was always the more important healing, that's the healing man really longs for. The church didn't take over Israel's promises, Israel abandoned their promises and killed their Messiah, they don't want Him but we do. The kingdom isn't political it's spiritual and we are citizens of it now.

    So clear to understand that the kingdom never came and that God is not building a kingdom but a body.
    People like Bill Johnson of Bethel in Redding California woukd do well in listening to this message as they claim to be establishing the kingdom on earth with signs wonders and miracles and even claim gold dust and feathers have fallen during their services!
    Thankyou JJ and GA for streaming theses lessons. Much appreciated here in the UK.

      Christ On His Throne
      The prophet Zechariah prophesied about the reign of Christ, and said, "He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." (Zech. 6:13).
      Christ was to do three things on His throne: 1) He would sit on His throne, 2) He would be a priest on His throne, and 3) He would rule on His throne. If we put this into the form of a syllogism, we would say: 1) He would rule on His throne while priest, 2) according to Hebrews 8:1, He is a priest on His throne now, and 3) therefore, He is ruling on His throne now.
      Notice another syllogism: 1) He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 2) He is a priest in heaven (Heb. 4:14), and 3) therefore, His throne is in heaven!
      One last syllogism for your consideration: 1) He could not be a priest if He were on earth (Heb. 8:4), 2) however, He is a priest on His throne (Zech. 6:13), 3) therefore, His throne cannot be on earth!

    John 18:33 Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”.....36 “My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If My kingdom were of this world, My servants[e] would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here.”[f]
    Romans 14:17
    for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
    Matthew 6:33
    But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.
    John 3:3
    Jesus replied, “I assure you: Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
    1 Corinthians 15:50
    Brothers, I tell you this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption.
    Colossians 4:11
    and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcision are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.
    1 John 1:1 What was from the beginning,
    what we have heard,
    what we have seen with our eyes,
    what we have observed
    and have touched with our hands,
    concerning the Word of life-
    2 that life was revealed,
    and we have seen it
    and we testify and declare to you
    the eternal life that was with the Father
    and was revealed to us-
    3 what we have seen and heard
    we also declare to you,
    so that you may have fellowship along with us;
    and indeed our fellowship is with the Father
    and with His Son Jesus Christ.
    4 We are writing these things[a]
    so that our[b] joy may be complete.

      The Key to Contradictions
      Dispensational right division is the key to understanding the Bible with all its contradictions.
      Taking God’s words literally without rightly dividing ends in failure, Bible mistakes, and doctrinal confusion.
      Don’t believe me? Consider these contradictions.
      They cannot be resolved without mid-Acts dispensational right division.
      The popular response to seeing contradictions is to try and remove them.
      Popular removal methods include, “that is not what God meant” (spiritualization), “that is an unfortunate translation” (Bible correction), or “there are no contradictions in the Bible” (denial).
      All of these methods constitute a failure to leave the Bible alone in its plain literal meaning. Trying to remove the contradictions produces doubts about whether God truly inspired the Bible and can actually say what he means.
      Stop trying to remove the contradictions. Let them be, and explain them with the key to understanding the Bible.
      The only way to let God be true, possess a Bible without error, and take it literally is to start rightly dividing.
      For His glory,

      Secret Since the World Began
      Justin Johnson
      Nearly two thousand years ago God revealed information that was secret since the world began to the chief persecutor of Christ and the twelve.
      “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” - Col 1:25-26
      Paul was saved by God’s grace and was chosen to make known the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of this mystery.
      “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” - Rom 16:25
      This secret, albeit concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, stands in contradistinction to the information that the twelve disciples were preaching.
      Peter in his message in Jerusalem after Pentecost spoke of Jesus Christ according to prophecy “which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began” (Acts 3:21).
      Peter taught things that were spoken by the prophets and Paul taught things that were kept secret from the prophets.
      It was kept secret from the prophets that Gentile salvation would occur through Israel’s fall (Rom 11:25). Also kept secret was the new body of believers that was being created which was separate from the elect nation of Israel (Eph 3:6).
      Nor was it prophesied that there would be free salvation apart from the covenants and the law (Rom 3:21-22).
      While the prophets spoke about a promised land given to a chosen nation ruling in an earthly kingdom in Jerusalem, Paul spoke of both Jews and Gentiles reigning in heavenly places judging angels (Eph 2:6).
      There are many blessings yet future that will fulfill the writings of the law and the prophets including the coming kingdom to Israel. Yet since the secret information was not spoken by the prophets, we live in a period separate from the subject of prophecy.
      Instead of an age of law and prophecy, we live in the dispensation of grace which had been hid in God from the foundation of the world (Eph 3:9).
      Though the verse clearly says it was secret since the world began, many still try to search the prophets for clues about what is happening now.
      It’s time we continue what God started with Paul “to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery” the secret since the world began (Eph 3:9).

      @@ReplaceYourFate Eph 3:4 By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the mystery of the Messiah. 5 This was not made known to people[a] in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: 6 The Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and partners of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of His power.

      Paul’s Special Apostleship
      This page contains 53 references which show Paul’s special apostleship from the Lord Jesus Christ to the Gentiles. His position as the dispenser of the Lord’s instructions for this age is largely ignored in mainstream Christianity.

      Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, BECAUSE OF THE GRACE THAT IS GIVEN TO ME OF GOD, THAT I SHOULD BE THE MINISTER OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE GENTILES, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
      Romans 16:25
      Now to him that is of power to stablish you ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL, AND THE PREACHING OF JESUS CHRIST, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH WAS KEPT SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

      1 Corinthians 3:10
      ACCORDING TO THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO ME, AS A WISE MASTERBUILDER, I HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION, AND ANOTHER BUILDETH THEREON. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

      For I think that GOD HATH SET FORTH US THE APOSTLES LAST, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

      For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, BE YE FOLLOWERS OF ME.
      1 Corinthians 9:1-2
      AM I NOT AN APOSTLE? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
      1 Corinthians 9:17
      For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, A DISPENSATION OF THE GOSPEL IS COMMITTED UNTO ME.

      Behold, I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
      2 Corinthians 1:1
      PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST BY THE WILL OF GOD, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
      2 Corinthians 11:5
      FOR I SUPPOSE I WAS NOT A WHIT BEHIND THE VERY CHIEFEST APOSTLES.
      2 Corinthians 12:11

      Galatians 1:11-12
      BUT I CERTIFY YOU, BRETHREN, THAT THE GOSPEL WHICH WAS PREACHED OF ME IS NOT AFTER MAN. FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
      Galatians 1:15-16
      But when it pleased God, WHO SEPARATED ME FROM MY MOTHER’S WOMB, AND CALLED ME BY HIS GRACE, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
      Galatians 2:2
      And I went up by revelation, and COMMUNICATED UNTO THEM THAT GOSPEL WHICH I PREACH AMONG THE GENTILES, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
      Galatians 2:6
      But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference ADDED NOTHING TO ME:
      Galatians 2:7
      But contrariwise, when they saw that THE GOSPEL OF THE UNCIRCUMCISION WAS COMMITTED UNTO ME, AS THE GOSPEL OF THE CIRCUMCISION WAS UNTO PETER;
      Galatians 2:8
      (FOR HE THAT WROUGHT EFFECTUALLY IN PETER TO THE APOSTLESHIP OF THE CIRCUMCISION, THE SAME WAS MIGHTY IN ME TOWARD THE GENTILES:)
      Galatians 2:9
