Talk Tomorrow

I must admit, I'm a little nervous and have been since I found out the CO will be there. CO meaning Circuit Overseer. The talk is

What Is God’s Kingdom? How to Show We Want It:

Open your bibles to Matthew chapter 6 verses 9 through 13. And it reads: YOU must pray, then, this way:
“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.’
…………………………………………………………..
This is the prayer that Jesus had taught his followers. Many call this the Lord’s Prayer. Those in the world often say the Lord’s Prayer but do not understand what they are praying for. For example in Matthew chapter 6 and verse 10 it states “ Let your kingdom come, let you will take place, as in Heaven, also upon the Earth “
If you asked those in the world to explain what is Jehovah’s will, what is his kingdom, what does it represent, and what will it do they cannot answer correctly because, they do not know. Jehovah’s Kingdom is a government established by Jehovah with a King Chosen by Jehovah.

Today many look to Earthly Governments to solve their issues. I’ve read that they even called the current President the savior of the world as if he can solve all of our problems. I’m sure you heard the phrase “Yes we can“ Well, no you can’t. You cannot solve our issues. You cannot cure this disease that all humans have called Death. You cannot remove sin and you cannot resurrect our loved ones.

So we need Jehovah’s kingdom. If left to man, there would be no one left. Of course the King chosen is none other than his son Jesus. You might ask, what kind of king would Jesus be? Will he be the same as the others?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
While on Earth with Jehovah’s holy spirit, Jesus raised the dead, cured the sick, and fed the Hungry. Imagine what Jesus will do on a global scale but he was sent to Earth because he had work to do. Open your Bibles to Luke Chapter 4 verse 43 . That’s Luke chapter 4 verse 43. And it Reads: But he said to them: “Also to other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth

Jesus says that he must declare the good news because this is what he was sent to do but he knew that he could not do this on his own so he taught not only his apostles, but others to do the preaching work. The same work that you and I have the privilege of doing today. Jesus knew that Jehovah’s Kingdom is the only means to True salvation. It is the only kingdom that can bring lasting peace for all.

No need to worry about Nuclear War, disease, terrorists or any other man made weapon that could kill us. Instead Jehovah tells us that Death will be no more, he tells us that he will wipe every tear, He tells us that our loved ones will be resurrected. This is what his kingdom promises.

Do you want to be part of this kingdom? It’s easy to say yes I do, but we have to show that we want to be part of this kingdom. How do we do that? We can Imitate Jesus. We can follow his example. Notice what Jesus said at John chapter 8 verse 29. Please turn with me there.

Jesus faithfully serves his father and we can do the same and by doing so, we can show Jehovah that we want to be part of his Kingdom.

That's the talk that will be given tomorrow. Little nervous but I hope to get some audio of it.
