Matthew 10 King James Version (KJV) Matthew 10 1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. So now what exactly does this mean "the kingdom of heaven is at hand"? Here is a piece that I got from the Sandy Warner Journals. Very Good THE TIME IS FULFILLED, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND 3/27/11 REVELATION: I did a Word study today on how Jesus described the kingdom of heaven and how we enter into it. I heard and saw the following in regards to the scripture He gave me. HEARD: You received this from My Father. (I had found the scriptural answer of how to enter into the kingdom, through obedience.) Matt 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' HEARD: The only way, obey. All else is falling short. PIX: I saw a file called OBEDIENCE. HEARD: Very necessary. THE TIME IS FULFILLED, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND 3/27/11 WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? The kingdom is mentioned 158 times in the NT. In the Greek, the kingdom of God refers to a realm or rule of power at walking pace. NT:932 KINGDOM basileia (bas-il-i'-ah); from NT:935; properly, royalty, i.e. (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively): KJV - kingdom, reign. NT:935 FOUNDATION OF POWER basileus (bas-il-yooce'); probably from NT:939 (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively, or figuratively): KJV - king. NT:939 FOOT AT WALKING PACE basis (bas'-ece); from baino (to walk); a pace ("base"), i.e. (by implication) the foot: KJV - foot. REVELATION: At the very beginning of their ministries, both John and Jesus declared the exact same decree: "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" These were announcements - foretelling of what was approaching, drawing near. Matt 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Then a third time after John was put in prison, Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." The Kingdom of Heaven is Power AND AUTHORITY As I realized that both John and Jesus decreed the same statement at the beginning of their ministries, I asked the Lord, "What did You mean by the kingdom of heaven at hand?" Then I turned to where He actually described it. In like manner, when He sent out the disciples for the first time, they too were told to decree the same statement: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand!" He explained you will know the kingdom of heaven is at hand when you heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons. He clearly said that His kingdom is power Matt 10:1; 7-9 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease... And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Matt 11:12-13 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Matt 12:28-30 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. Mark 9:1 And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power." 1 Cor 4:20-21 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 1 Cor 2:3-5 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Thess 1:5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. NT:1411 POWER dunamis (doo'-nam-is); from NT:1410; force (literally or figuratively); specially, miraculous power (usually by implication, a miracle itself): KJV - ability, abundance, meaning, might (-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle (-s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work. Prophetically speaking, the Lord Jesus is once again decreeing into the earth, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Jesus is sending His foot company who will be empowered with the same dunamis miraculous power and might, strength and ability to share the kingdom of God - not only in word but also in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the days ahead we will see many accepting their commissions to walk the earth in His power. So if the kingdom of heaven is at hand, approaching... how do we receive the power of the kingdom? ~~ HOW TO RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ~ 1) The kingdom of heaven is something we are TOLD to seek FIRST Matt 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. First, Jesus said that He wants us to seek the kingdom of God, to search for, ask for, look for. HOW TO SEEK HIM HE DRAWS US TO SEEK HIM HOW TO FISH FOR FOOD 2) The kingdom of heaven is something that we ENTER Secondly, the kingdom of heaven just doesnt happen, we must enter into it, just as one would open a door and walk through it to the other side. There is an ENTRANCE into the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5:20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 19:23-24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Mark 9:47-48 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire — RHEMA ABOUT ENTERING 3) REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND The first thing we do when the kingdom of heaven approaches us, is to repent. The kingdom of heaven and repentance are connected together. Notice in all 3 verses, when the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Hand Gk #1448: to draw near, approach, to come) both John and Jesus declared you must repent. The kingdom of heaven and repentance go hand in hand.

  Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthor@usa.net ~ ~ www.thequickenedword.com RHEMA 3/29/11 SIGNPOSTS HELP US STAY ON TRACK HEARD: There has to be answers to prayer. Weakness. Fellowship. My army. You are aligned. Believe. Judge. I give something to you. Signposts. They help you stay aligned. In synch. A resting place. Dont settle. Keep moving and stay on track. INSERT WORDS TO PONDER: STAYING ON TRACK WORD TO PONDER: BACK ON TRACK 12/30/01 The enemy has tried to derail My purposes in your life. When things began to go from bad to worse and you felt the pressure mounting, I placed a brick wall in front of him. His attempt has been thwarted. Release your anxiety to Me over these issues and bring your focus back to Me. The enemy can become very distracting and when you focus on his plans and not My own, your feet follow your eyes. So bring it all back to Me and let us begin again. Allow My gifts to flow through you. You think that you do not have enough to offer, but I tell you that it is enough, it is plenty. As you grow in what you have, I will give you more. And likewise My anointing grows in your life as you release what you have. So open the door and be willing. When you join service with Me, remember My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of My mouth. Won’t you join Me? As you learn to share, you will see the key is sharing out of your heart and not out of your intellect or knowledge. I quicken My Words and bring the listener a touch of life. “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heartand ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.†(Matt 11:28-30 KJV) ======= WORD TO PONDER: TO KNOW IN PART 9/02/03 I AM in the smallest detail and in the biggest picture. When I speak to you, I speak in small pieces of information and not the entire picture. I may quicken a concept, I may speak a Word, and maybe highlight a phrase. I breathe life upon My Words, no matter in what form they come. These Words are like sign posts along your journey in life. They confirm your coming and going, and keep you going in the right direction. The journey that I have ordained for you does not have the entire road mapped out with every rock, landmark, and detailed step. Rather I present an overall landscape and give you enough information to be able to recognize and fill in the blanks as they come. I give you the signposts, you fill in the gaps as you walk. As you lean upon Me, My Spirit will lead you and inspire you with understanding and revelation. “For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.†(1 Cor 13:9-10 NKJV) ======= WORD TO PONDER: COMING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS 11/18/10 Arise fairest bride, and follow My path. I have long awaited the time when the hearts of men have melted and they yearn for Me. The coldness is broken and their tears have sown a lovely garden that now appears. The time of singing has come, the Dove company is heard in the land. Who is this that is coming out of the wilderness dripping with the incense of prayers for healing? Her love is stirred and awakened and she seeks My pathway. Along your journey, I have hidden you in My refuge as the storm clouds passed over. I have cleansed your soul of the little foxes, through the rain of My Presence. I have lead you along the paths of righteousness and truth, and you have stayed on track. I gave you My promise of complete transformation and change during the long journey towards the train of My glory. Even in the night hour as you have risen from your resting place to seek Me, just like the moon abides, I have never left you alone. Even as you have sought Me, I have sought you and searched for you on the busy streets of life. And when you turn aside and pause to look, behold I AM there, even upon you, bringing you into My longing embrace. Yes My love, you have sought Me just as I have sought you. Together, the spark of our embrace will change the way you move, as the power of My electrical charges bring the miracles for which you have prayed. Song 2:10-3:5 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. 6 Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant's fragrant powders? CONFIRMATION: BOBBY CONNER'S FACE BOOK 3/30/11 STAY ON TRACK HOPE IS COMING 3/30/11 www.bobbyconner.org "Recently, I experienced an extremely vivid trance in which I found myself walking down a lone railroad track in the middle of a vast desert for days. Under the scorching sun, the heat was unbearable. Hot, sandy winds made it extremely difficult for me to see. Only an empty train track appeared under my feet, extending into the distance, the track shimmering and distorted by heat waves—an otherworldly scene. I labored to walk along the endless track, hot, tired and thirsty. My head throbbed, my lips were parched and cracked, my legs trembled, ready to collapse. Although I was exhausted, I knew that I must press forward. Something within kept urging me onward. The desert was not the place to give up, nor to stop. Hellish Hallucinations and Demonic Distractions In the midst of my resolve, I was tempted by a strong deception—an overwhelming desire to step off of the track. In the delusion, I saw a beautiful oasis filled with alluring shade trees, waterfalls and the joyful sounds of a feast, a party in full swing. I heard welcoming voices calling to me with the most enticing tone, “Come over here where there is plenty of water! Why stay on that old track?†I realized the lovely oasis was merely a mirage, an hallucination from hell—though the temptation was almost irresistible—and that the battle was real. It was imperative that I remain on the train track. I rejected their invitation and heard them mock me, laughing and saying, “You don’t know what you’re missing!†At last I saw a speck of light in the distance—and asked God what it signified. He replied in a comforting, reassuring tone, “The light is hope!†My heart overflowed with gratitude for God’s promise of hope. I felt renewed strength, encouragement and energy because God had promised that hope was on its way. As my heart was overcome with thankfulness, the ground began to shake and tremble. The little ray of hope in the distance was now upon me! What had been a speck of light became a bright beacon flooding the landscape with divine radiance. The next thing I knew, a massive silver train appeared in the distance—a mighty train of hope. As the fierce engine approached, the entire landscape trembled with its power. Dear friends of God, don’t give up! God is a good God (Nahum 1:7) and His Hope, the Prince of Peace, is on the way (Hebrews 10:23). Take courage: God has heard your cry. Stay the course, stay on track. Spiritual hope, the Lord Himself, is at hand. He is a “very present help in time of need.†How do we stay on track? Study the Word and Abide in Faith Scripture states that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. In order to live by faith and experience the tremendous blessings and pleasure of pleasing God, we simply believe that God's Word is true, storing up His truth within our hearts—instead of focusing on circumstances and situations, problems and fears. The writer of Hebrews offers great wisdom concerning overcoming disappointment and despair, stating, Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised. Hebrews 10:35-36 AMP Prayer Mark 11:24 promises that “what things soever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.†John 16:24 promises that we can “ask and receive that your joy may be full.†Whatever you need, whatever you desire—according to the Word of God—ask your heavenly Father and He will provide it, without delay. His faithfulness and lovingkindness toward you are infinite and everlasting. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.†Jeremiah 17:7-8 Take heart, dear saints of God! Lift up your head and reassure your heart! Let confidence return to your soul. Remember that HOPE IS NEAR! (Isaiah 40:31). Pray this with me: Dear heavenly Father, I cast all my cares and anxieties into Your loving arms and choose to believe that Your promises are true. I trust that You will never, no never, no never forsake me. Help me to hear Your Word and abide in faith, trusting in You with all my heart. My hope is in the Lord—and I will not fear when heat comes. {End Bobby Conner Quote}

Jul 12, 2011 Luke 18:1-10 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Like the children of Israel at the Red Sea, there are times when you are faced with such options that the only possible recourse is to trust Me and obey My command to move forward. It is in these most pressing times that your options seems narrow, if at all, but know that I AM still the God Who opens doors where there are no doors. I make a way where there is no way. Your part is not to make the way, but to trust Me to open a pathway before you. As you see the way clear, move forward a step at a time and you will come into deliverance with expanded territory in My perfect timing. As I give you My command to move forward, do not look back, keep moving and keep your eyes on Me. One step at a time we will work through these obstacles and you will be able to see with your own eyes how I really do work everything together for your good. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.†(Rom 8:28 KJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and He died for you.
