And then what if we realized the kingdom of heaven had been taken from the stale religious, and given over to a people who would actually live out the kingdom’s fruit? And what if we resolved that we would never at any price find ourselves tricked into being stale and religious?

And what if we recognized that the kingdom’s fruit is anything Jesus ever claimed to offer? What if we continually threw our lives down at his feet in order to live that offer, and literally only that offer? What if anyone coming to find Jesus could come to us and get more than a watered-down substitute; what if they really got Jesus?

What if we shut our mouths forever to complaining about what’s missing, to whining about the crippling roadblocks…and then what if our lives were so swallowed by the power and love of Christ that we actually saw things on this earth change drastically in our lifetime? Could Father end up calling us the repairers of the breach; the restorers of the paths to dwell in?

Would it be too much to expect to see the Holy Spirit poured out on ALL flesh in our day?
