Jesus said to His Disciples, "The Kingdom of God is near …. Preach, heal, raise the dead, cleanse, drive out demons …. Freely you have received freely give."
Matthew 10:5-15

As you are raised up into My risen life so will you increasingly become the instruments for the establishment of the Father's Kingdom on earth. So will the Gospel be preached, the sick healed, the dead raised up, the power of evil overcome. So it is with My disciples of all ages, My followers in all nations and creeds.

Be sensitive to My Presence, continually alert to My prompting, obedient to My bidding. And as you grow in sensitivity and in faithfulness, desire and seek the same mind and response in the groups and community in which you are, and in My Church.

In My Incarnate life is the pattern of the Kingdom: all who identify with the challenge of My life and teaching and with My death and risen life are, in the process of time, transformed and perfected and fulfilled through the power and grace of Our redeeming, sanctifying love.

And this great power is channelled to the world around the dedicated, consecrated children of the Father's love.
