Be prepared to go through the fire, Satan has been allowed to sift you. If you put your hands to that plow, don't let go, don't look back! The Kingdom isn't yours if you do.74 Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Hang on to that plow. There will be two at the millstone, one taken the other one left. Two in the field, one taken the other one left. Two in the same bed, one taken the other one left.75 Matthew 24:40-42 "Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming." You can't tell by its cover what's inside. It has to be sifted. It has to be refined.76 Malachi 3:2-3 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire And like launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness." Then you find out what's there, it is the Lord's way. Produce fruit unto the Lord,77 Matthew 3:8 "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance." lest He come up and say, "Wither and die."78 Matthew 21:19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away. Be prepared, put on the whole armor of God.79 Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand for His Kingdom! Don't let go. The Kingdom is yours, it is your inheritance.80 Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. The Kingdom of Heaven, it is a gift, by His grace and His grace alone. You didn't have to work for it, it was His gift.81 Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. At the Last Supper Jesus Christ handed over the Kingdom. He handed it over to the disciples, it was His free gift. He said:
My disciples, you stood in my trials and my tribulation. You have been with Me from the beginning. In My Will is the Kingdom of Heaven, it is yours. And there are going to be people who want to take it from you, and you're going to be sifted, but it is yours, continue in Me.
Continue in the Lord Jesus Christ. Don't let go of the Kingdom. It is yours, it does not belong to Satan. We are the offspring. Jesus Christ and the disciples around the table are our founding fathers. They are the ones we follow. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Light, the Door, the Key. Keep your eyes on Jesus.82 Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Remember His broken body and the blood that was spilt, so that you can have the Kingdom of Heaven.83 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." Follow His example, obey His commands. His burdens are light.84 Matthew 11:29-30 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
