If the Kingdom has come...

Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God has come. So why don't we act like it?


I'm not sure where this is going for me personally or for our church, but there's something about Jesus' ministry that I can't shake.


Read about how he called Peter: Luke 5:1-11.


Jesus, operating under a powerful word of knowledge told Simon to go into the deep water and put their nets down. There they should not have caught anything. That isn't the place to get fish. but they catch more fish than ever before and it spawns a reaction from Simon. "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"


Jesus doesn't care about his sin. He calls him to follow and immediately he leaves all and follows Jesus.


Are we supposed to be doing this kind of stuff? Wouldn't it be easier to call people to follow operating under the same annointing as Jesus? Does this take more faith to live in the supernatural rather than rely on "worldly principles" of evangelism?


Just a thought,


Pastor Arlen
