The Kingdom of God is At Hand

Jesus first message that He gave to the people right after He came out of the desert after being tempted in the desert was to repent for the kingdom of God is at hand . The Lord showed me that as we repent His kingdom comes into our lives and makes us righteous.

We as believers need to see is that we are righteous in the eyes of God. And as we repent of our sin His kingdom comes into our lives, or His light of righteousness invades our beings and dispels the darkness. That is when the enemy comes in and says that God cant forgive you of that sin because look at what you have done! He wants to lay a guilt trip on us , and say that we are not righteous .

Jesus died so that we could be righteous and reign with Him.  It is his righteousness that we have because He lives in us, so we have His righteousness. It has nothing to do with us . It is a free gift that He gave us 2000 years ago .

It is important to confess that we are righteous so that the enemy does not have a foot hold in your life. We can confess that there is now on condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We need to do the same as Jesus did in the desert and confess what God has to say in the matter .We need to say that we are righteous so that our bodies can start to respond to the kingdom of God in us.  

When we come to Jesus we are filled with the Holy Spirit. That is the Spirit of promise as it is written in Luke 24:46-49 
 thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. and that repentance and the remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Behold I send the promise of My Father upon you ; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
