Many Christians have an intellectual sense of forgiveness, but remain guilty in their feelings. Joe Bean addresses this dilemma, unmasking fears and proclaiming assurances from God's Word that bring peace to the heart that craves it.

This issue of The Ministry of the Word contains the eight messages given during the international training for elders and responsible ones held in Anaheim, California, on April 5 through 7, 2019. The general subject of this series of messages is "The Development of the Kingdom of God in the Christian Life and the Church Life." The kingdom of God is a wonderful person--the Lord Jesus Christ, who as the Sower sowed the seed of the kingdom into the soil of our heart. This kingdom seed, which is Christ Himself as both the King and the kingdom through the word, needs to grow and develop in our inner being to become God's ruling realm. The kingdom is the realm of life for the divine life to move, rule, and govern so that life may accomplish its purpose. The kingdom that is developing is not only divine life but also Christ Himself as a wonderful person expanding within us. Before there can be the manifestation of the kingdom with the Lord's coming, there must be the reality of the kingdom inwardly and the practicality of the kingdom in the Christian life and the church life. In our Christian life, we live the kingdom life by living a hidden life. Because the kingdom has been sown as a seed into us, the development and manifestation of the kingdom must come from the hidden growth of the roots within the soil. The kingdom life is a life in the depths, a life that can "take root downward and bear fruit upward" (Isa. 37:31). The principle of the kingdom people is that they live a hidden life, not performing their righteous deeds before men. Messages 1 and 2 emphasize the Christian life, particularly the inward reality of the kingdom that is developing and the matter of learning to have a life hidden in God so that the kingdom life may deepen in us. The kingdom is the reality of the church, and the church is the practical expression and representation of the kingdom. Apart from the kingdom life, we cannot live the church life. The genuine church is the kingdom of God in this age. Today the believers live the kingdom life in the church. Messages 3 through 6 focus on various aspects of the kingdom and the church. Message 3 directly concerns the kingdom and the church. Message 4 is on relationships in the kingdom. In particular, it is on the seriousness of living a forgiving life so that we will have no issues before the Son of Man that will cost us the kingdom reward. In Message 5 we see the need for shutting up the gates of Hades through the exercise of the keys of denying the self, taking up the cross, and losing the soul-life. Message 6 focuses on the responsibility of the church to engage in spiritual warfare, mainly through prayer, because of the conf lict between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. The responsibility of the church is to bring the kingdom of God to the earth in glorious manifestation. Message 7 is concerned with our being watchful in life and faithful in service. For life, we need oil, the Spirit of God, even His filling, that we may be enabled to live the virgin life for the Lord's testimony. For service, for work, we need the talent, the spiritual gift, that we may be equipped as a good slave to accomplish what the Lord intends to accomplish. Message 8 concludes this series by releasing a burden on proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom throughout the entire inhabited earth and discipling the nations. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations before the end of this age. We have the authority, commission, and position of our resurrected Christ to disciple the nations for the spread and development of the kingdom of God. The Announcements section at the end of this issue contains a list of upcoming conferences and trainings hosted by Living Stream Ministry and a website link for information related to similar events in Europe.

This book is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones held in Anaheim, California, on April 5-7, 2019. The general subject of the training was “The Development of the Kingdom of God in the Christian Life and the Church Life.” Through intimate contact with the Lord in His word, the believers can be constituted with life and truth and thereby equipped to prophesy in the meetings of the church unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

Well, it is not simply enough to merely pray against hell-populating false teaching! We must do more! We must ‘contend for the faith once for all delivered for the saints’ (Jude 3)! We must open our mouths and uncork our pens to warn about ‘savage wolves which will come among you (the local church believers) not sparing the flock’ (Acts 20:29). Spread virally, thanks to the social media, modern cultic false teachings such as (1) Hyper-Grace (‘No judgement for believers post-Cross’), (2) Hyper-Supernaturalism (‘It is always God’s will to heal me here and now’, ‘Believers in Jesus need not die, if they chose to’), and (3) Hyper-Love (‘Everyone is already saved, but they just don’t know it yet!’, ‘You will stop existing in hell or will eventually come to heaven from there’) have locust-swarmed churches in South Indian cities and beyond. In this book, the incensed author, argues vehemently from the Bible to show how much these scripture-twisting, half-truth-full-of, diabolical teachings have majorly deviated from the ‘whole counsel of God’. The author offers these ‘five loaves and two fish’ unto the Lord! Perhaps, the Lord use it for the restoration of the gangrene-of-false-teaching infested Body of Christ, back to sound doctrinal health (this book also includes a section where there is an antidote against false teaching). Those embracing these false teachings must be warned to steer clear of this book as it would greatly infuriate them, calling a spade, a spade, without ‘putting blade’ (using illustrations from the world of Cricket)! The author’s prayer is that the Holy Spirit could possibly cajole and convince such blood-bought, precious, believers, through these peppery pages, to swiftly abandon these eternity-shipwrecking doctrines and wholly embrace biblical, balanced, sound doctrine!
