From the new book
The CoffeeHouse Gospel
If we as Christians desire to abandon the strongholds that keep up from sharing the Gospel, we must investigate our hearts on a daily basis. Continuous reflection and renewal of the heart is so important to our influence as God witnesses.
And He said,
"God blesses those who realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
God blesses those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them.
God blesses those who are hungry and thirsty for justice, for they will receive it in full.
God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted because they live for God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs."
Jesus wants His followers to not only comprehend the kingdom, but to also live out His kingdom in everyday life.
The Kingdom is now, live it.
