"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."(Luke 12:32)

"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."(Luke 12:32)

"Fear Not". Jesus refers to us in this passage as the "little flock"; little is a word of love and compassion, not a reference of insignificance. God cares so much about us that he is pleased to give us the Kingdom. The word Kingdom in the Bible is a reference to the Spiritual Realm of God on earth. It has the idea of reigning in a domain of God here on earth. When God placed Adam in the Garden, His original intent was for Adam to have dominion on the earth. "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:"(1 Peter 2:9) In this passage Peter refers to us as a "Royal Priesthood", a sacred order. God has a Spiritual Kingdom here on earth that we are placed into by His Spirit; there is no other way to obtain this status.
Once we are in His Kingdom, if we live according to the Spiritual Laws of the Kingdom then His blessings will begin to flow our way. The beginning two words of the verse for today are; "Fear Not". As a Preacher of the Word I'm concerned about all the fear and doubt that I see in the eyes of God's people. It's the Fathers good pleasure to give us the Kingdom, The Authority, The Dominion and The Power to function on this earth as the Priesthood representing the King of the Kingdom. We have nothing to fear for the Father has made provision for us in every area of our life. He has our paths laid out for us, all things worked out for our good and has things for us that eyes have not seen nor has ears heard. We must receive the Power of Kingdom Authority from Him by faith and not fear anything or anyone on this planet. It is His pleasure to give us the Kingdom. "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant."(Psalm 35:27) Our Heavenly Father is pleased when we prosper and we only prosper when we understand the Kingdom of God. Prosperity from God's point of view is much greater than just having money. If all you have is money and you think you’re prosperous, you are sadly mistaken.
