Jesus
said, "Now is the judgement
of this world. Now shall the
prince of this world be cast
out"
John 12:31
I came into the world to
defeat the power of sin
and evil which inhabits
as a temporary sojourner
and alien in the glorious
world which the Father has
created and is creating.
The human mind can never
fully understand how my
life and death and resurrection
accomplished this great
work of restoring to His
loving possession all that
looks for perfection and
restoration in His Kingdom.
Nor is it necessary, but
only to accept and to learn,
trust and practice faithfulness
in accepting, step by step,
that which is presented.
But it is necessary that
the children of the Father
the world over, especially
those who regard themselves
committed to truth and goodness
- as they understand it
- should understand and
realise that daily they
are confronted with a choice,
and according to their reaction
to that choice of thought
or action or disposition
will they grow towards the
Kingdom of Light, turn back
on their tracks, or stagnate
and atrophy. Constantly
the Father's loving purpose
is expressed in the individual
life of everyone, in corporate
activity and in the manifold
activities of national life
in all nations.
So it is that judgement
is now. So it is that the
prince of this world is
cast out in every particular
in which he confronts each
and every manifestation
of human growth and expression.
And this is because, having
been lifted up on the Cross,
I draw all men and nations
to me. Let this be known
deep in the heart and mind,
understood, preached, acted
upon and lived. So will
the kingdoms of the world
become the kingdoms of the
Father in the power of our
Holy Spirit.
