Declare the Kingdom

The world today, human society, is not God’s world.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, and they that dwell therein.

-PSALM 24:1

The Bible tells us that Satan the devil is “the god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4). This evil being is the one who reigns in the world system today! He deceives all of humanity into following his ways rather than God’s (Revelation12:9). God tells us that, “The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one”—under Satan’s powerful influence and control (1 John 5:19).

We are to declare the Kingdom of God, the gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation.

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds.”

-‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Our God desires to have a holy people, a nation.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;”

-‭‭‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

He has and continues to call unto us to become all that He desires and has birthed us to be. His new creation.

There is Freedom

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”‬‬

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NASB2020

In all the political and religious confusion and deception being released in our land daily, we as believers have this everlasting word of our God. The promise of the Holy Ghost and His being poured out on all flesh, who is in us and with us. Whom the Son, Jesus, sets free is free indeed.

As was evident in the debate, there was little reference to what made this country free. Its foundation is “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” It will not be any party’s policies or ideas that will bring this nation to the truth, but an unprecedented move of the Holy Ghost bringing repentance and a true change in direction.

It is simple: our nation has experienced times of repentance and true revival in our history.

Jesus has freed us from sin and all unrighteousness through the power of the gospel of the kingdom of God. The sin of this nation is fomenting like the stench of a garbage dump. The smell of such defilement and adulteration can only be endured by Him for so long.

We, as those who have been set free, must not be silent as if our freedom can be accomplished by not preaching the gospel. We cannot be ashamed while the world and those among us call the condemnation of sin judgmental.

In the economic system of the world, the wages of sin is death. Jesus did not come to condemn the world, for it is condemned already. It is lost in its sin and doomed to eternal damnation, separated from the love of God, its redeemer, Savior, and Lord.

Today, let freedom ring, let the voice of the redeemed freely declare, with a shout, “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”

Father in heaven, grant us repentance in our land. Turn us back by your great power—the power of the Holy Ghost! Freedom!

The Fatherhood of God


If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him

Matthew 7:11 NIV

Our God is not a ceremonial God that can be so empty, repetitious, and a form that denies the power of Him and what He has done. He is a celebratory God and He ordained feasts to celebrate His everlasting covenant with creation and those who have chosen Him.

In our day we call them Holidays to commemorate and celebrate victories and historical events in our various nations’ histories. They are there for one generation to acknowledge what God has done and what those who came before us accomplished. 

Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, for us in the U.S., are two of the most important celebrations. In them, the first and fifth commandments in our relational behavior are declared. The first four have to do with our relationship to God and the next six are to one another. The first of these is the command to honor your Father and Mother and it is the first and only commandment with promise. The promise of God’s favor on the children’s lives, “so that their days are prolonged on  the land which the Lord thy God has given you.”

First, we have the destruction of the family institution that was and is created by God. When He created them male and female and gave the marriage covenant to bring forth offspring, their children, it was good — out of His goodness. The first attribute that is testified of God is that HE IS GOOD. Everything He created was amended by His  goodness. It is this promise to children that the evil one hates, and his evil purpose is to target the innocence of children to destroy the family. No greater evidence is the genocide in the birth of Moses and of Jesus. In our lifetime it is the legalizing of abortion.

History shows that in the changing and overthrowing of governments, a ruler’s whole family was annihilated. Honor brings favor and promise to those children who, even when a Father is not honorable, God and His authority and sovereignty remain. He contrasts the difference between earthly fathers and the Heavenly Father. If you fathers, being evil, know how to give good things to your children, how much more your Father, wills to do more than you can think or ask, so much more. He is not saying fatherhood or motherhood is evil, but He is drawing a comparison that, in terms of His goodness, the heavenly Father’s goodness is so far above It can never be measured nor be compared between the two. It will always be seen in this light. As Jesus responded when He was called good,

And He said to him,Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”


Matthew 19:17 NIV

The rejection of the fifth commandment is based on earthly fathers’ evil disobedience and not acknowledging the authority and goodness in God the Father. We as fathers need to see our place to be like Him. Otherwise, we rob our children of the promise of God to them. It is a huge stumbling block placed before them as children to overcome in their lifetime.  “Forgive me my Father,” I would say. Fatherly offenses far outweigh and are more prevalent than motherly ones. Unforgiveness, seeded in them as children, is the devil’s scheme to keep them from receiving the Heavenly Father, sending the Son to be their Savior and Lord. Everyone in the family unit is to keep this commandment and celebrate fatherhood, which was the priority of Jesus. When He taught us to pray, He first brought honor to the Father,


“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 6:9-10 NIV

I pray that we will as fathers, seek to fulfill the last two prophetic verses in Malachi,


“See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

Malachi 4:5-6 NIV

The hearts of the father and children are restored so that the children and the land are preserved. Honor and happiness to all fathers on this: an important day set aside for celebration.

Hallelujah! -KC

Gaza Occurs 19 Times in the Bible

”So they would camp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel, nor a sheep, ox, or donkey. For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts in number, and both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to ruin it. So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord.“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

There cannot be any denial according to the Word of God concerning God and His people. All the theology, traditions, and scholars who search the scriptures and think they testify of man’s knowledge, and what He thinks about God, does not change God and His Word. Our righteousness is as filthy rags.

I simply want to point out the geographical place, the land, Gaza included, in God’s promise to them. Many years before Mohammed, the Quran, and Islam. This scripture, for me, is a current picture of what is happening in Israel and Gaza There is no regard — the mentality of Hamas is to ruin it. Israel is suffering from their disobedience and again, Israel was brought low. God’s judgment comes to them in Him lifting His protection. The God of Israel is waiting for them to call upon Him again.

The paradigm has changed not just to ruin, but to eradicate, to annihilate. As a Syrian Senator told me at one time, “Israel will be like sugar in water.”

The same spirit is in replacement theology, the Church has taken the place of Israel. The Church is the Bride of Christ, His body, and His representation in the earth. We are strangers and aliens. This is not our home or land. The earth is the Lord’s, He owns it. He gave the land, and set its boundaries to the Hebrew People.

Remember Israel oh Lord, out of all his trouble. Let him not be ashamed. Let not his enemies triumph over him. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Hallelujah!

Your Thoughts Are Not My Thoughts

Your thoughts are not My thoughts and your ways are not My ways, saith the Lord.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.“

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, they gave Him wine mixed with bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

In 1974, Betsy and I were blessed to go to Israel for the 2000-year celebration of the Feast of Pentecost, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. We had the privilege of eating a meal with Hogn Vanderboven, the keeper of the garden tomb, nephew of Corrie Ten Boom. I remember going into the tomb and while we were coming out you could see Golgotha, the place of the skull.

Many scholars believe that after David killed Goliath he paraded Goliath’s head throughout Israel and brought it to Jerusalem and placed it there. The name of Goliath of Gath is a name derived from the two words “Gola Gatha.” One can say fairly confidently that David took the head of Goliath (the head of the serpent) and after displaying it on the highest hill in Jerusalem for all to see, buried it in a place called Golgotha. It is still known today as “the place of the skull.” Seeing the rock formation with two hollow eyes — resembling eye sockets in the skull of man.

This so illustrates to us how, in juxtaposition, man’s thoughts and man’s ways are not our Lord’s thoughts and our Lord’s ways. This was the fall of man, who was deceived and disobeyed by thinking there was a better way. The lies of the evil one mixed with Adam and Eve’s choice to believe the Satanic discord caused the mind of man to fall from the fellowship and ability to know God. His soul died, separating himself from God. No longer to be a living soul, bringing death, and the Adamic, inspired by the Satanic, mindset of man. Humanity was lost.

When I looked upon the hill, I saw so clearly the cross as a sword thrust into the place of the skull. Our thoughts are eternally opposed to His thoughts and so are our ways. As Isaiah said, they are so much higher as the heavens are higher than the earth. Only the cross of the Son of God, God’s lamb could take away our sin and redeem us to become the children of God. Jesus redeemed us from the curse.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”— in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭14‬, ‭16‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV

Jesus, lover of my soul. He Is Lord.
