@erdenpilger Yes, I agree! God's Kingdom is not of this world as you quoted, but it's in us who believe (Luk. 17:22) This is clearly what the Bible tells us.
But it also tells us that when God creates the new heaven and the new earth then His Kingdom will be on earth (Rev. 21:1-3) It's clear that Jesus will come back on earth the second time (Matt. 24:3), defeat Satan (Rev. 20:10) and establish His Kingdom (Rev. 21:5). The New Jerusalem will come down from heaven and we will be with Him forever. (Rev. 21:2-3, 10) This is our hope! (1 Kor. 15:19-25)

Jesus will also reign on earth for 1000 years, during which time Satan will be bound. He will get loose for a short time before God finally casts him in the lake of fire forever. (Rev. 20) This will all happen on earth.

"For the grace of God
that bringeth salvation
hath appeared to all men,
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking forward to that present hope and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: who gave himself for us; that he might redeem us
from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." - Tit. 2:11-14.

This fits to what Enarson teaches in this video. Especially this verse:

"Looking forward to that present hope and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ"

He talks of how in the dark times that lies ahead us, we have our hope in the appearance of Jesus, when he comes to establish God's Kingdom on earth. That this truth needs to be preached so that we can endure til the end. That we'll know our future and that the dark times we're heading to, will soon come to an end! 🙌

Torben Sondergaard, the founder of The Last Reformation- movement have been in jail in Florida for 48 days now because of false accusations. First they accused him of smuggling weapons 🤯 from Mexico to USA (TLR had a Kickstart-event in Mexico so they travelled there often), but after some time they said they don't accuse him of that anymore. His lawyers tried to get him out on bail, but were shocked to found out they gave him no chance to get out. Finally they handled him a paper with covid restrictions that said they will keep him in jail because of covid rules: there was written that they need to keep him locked in because of obesity (to protect that HE doesn't get covid)! 🤯🤯 The guard had looked at Torben and said: "you have not obesity!" then handled him the paper and walked away. Torbens updates from jail is to be found on YouTube. In this last update Torben is highly recommending Brother Yuns book Heavenly man which he has found encouraging for himself.

@DevotionalTreasures Thank you! God bless you too my dear brother in Christ.

@DevotionalTreasures

"Delight yourself in the Lord,” is not merely being happy. Believers need to be submissive and pliable in His hands, being happy to serve and to please Him in such a way that it delights their heart."

Amen! Such a good text! And this also delights the heart of our Father, who will gladly give such a child the desires of his/her heart! Because the child desires what God desires and what is pleasing to Him, because the child have the same heart.
I believe Moses is a good example of a man who knew God's heart and desired what God desired and therefore he got God's full attention. That's why he was able to speak so boldly to God and God did what he asked. He even said that God should repent..! (Ex. 32:12). And God did repent. (Ex. 32:14) Because he truly knew God's heart and was a friend of Him. Wow.

A correction to my previous post, the scripture I was referring to is in King James in a different place than in my Finnish Bible: it's Exodus 8: 20-23:

And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies , and also the ground whereon they are .

22 And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.

23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.

@MaryMamuzich Amen! He certainly is! ❤
Without Him we can do nothing!

Marie Monsen describes the power of prayer. She points out the importancy of really believing the word of God: what He says is the truth. And that faith comes by hearing,so to speak out God's promises builds up our faith.
I was picking blueberries in the forest. I had no insect poison with me. But when I reached the forest I very quickly realized the mosquitos were there to hunt my blood. I got disappointed and thought I'd have to give up. But then I remembered Marie Monsen! So I asked God if there's a verse fitting my situation now. The only thought that came up was "The plagues of Egypt don't belong to God's children". I thought: "This is not a direct verse from the Bible", but then I admitted,this same thought is there,in Exodus. So I started speaking it out, even made a song about it and continued. A mosquito would land on my hand and I could just blow it away. Finally the wind came to my help! When finished,not a single insect had eaten me,praise God! At home I found Ex. 8:17-19.

I have read Brother Yun's Heavenly Man several years ago, likewise his other book Living Water. They made a great impact on me. Brother Yun mentions in his books a missionary called Marie Monsen (1878-1962), a Norwegian single woman who lived in China many years. Last week I was reminded of her name so I Googled her and found out that she has written her own books. I found one in our local library, and when I started reading it I was blown away by the faith and life of this ordinary woman! If you are able to get a book of her in your hands I recommend to read it. It's a jewel.

Return to the Hiding Place. Full movie. Can't watch without crying... I wish my faith to be like their!
