My Trip To The Land Of Israel And How I Discovered The Kingdom Of God
By Jimmy Massa Over four years ago people tried to murder me because a gang I was associating with set me up and spread false information about me. I was so close to losing my life its a miracle Im alive today. I thank and praise the Lord everyday that Im still alive. After almost getting murdered I decided I wanted to live a Godly life, and I thought that Israel was a Godly country so I decided to go over there and possibly live there. After visiting Israel I discovered there was nothing Godly about it, everywhere I went people were carrying around machine guns, and there was a dark look in the eyes of the people there. When I arrived in Israel I was confronted with a Godless country and the spirit there was cold and dark, the country seemed riddled with: darkness, confusion, paranoia and distrust, the spirit there certainly did not reflect anything Godly. I thought to myself if the land of Israel represents God and the Holy Land I want nothing to do with it. The spiritual perception I got in Israel was a dark one, and I certainly did not find the Kingdom of God there. I left Israel after being there for a couple of days and I arrived back to my home country Australia shortly after. After being in Australia for sometime I started becoming interested in spiritual concepts and the real meaning of life. I started giving involved in witchcraft and the occult and I soon found out that these were the wrong spirits, and that the spirits involved in the occult are dangerous and controlling. I eventually made a decision to take a break from the occult as it was becoming quiet intrusive on me. The spirits involved in the occult are real and they want to take possession of people, and these spirits were certainly trying to take possession of me in overt ways. But God was with me and protected me from spiritual demonic possession. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (I John 4:4). I dont believe in coincidences, and I believe that God is always watching us, and God saw that I was becoming disillusioned with the occult, so one day He sent a Christian man into my life to tell me about Jesus Christ and the gospel. The Christians name was Chris and he was a Christian missionary, he told me about Jesus Christ and about the bible. I found Chris a very warm man and he definitely had a good spirit because his spirit felt comforting. I met Chris a few times on an ongoing basis in the city where I lived, and he and his friend eventually asked me if I wanted to ask Jesus Christ into my life. I decided to ask Jesus into my life and I felt a tremendous peace enter me and that peace hasnt left me in two years. After learning more about the bible and fellowshipping with Christians I felt like I had found Gods Kingdom, because I felt at peace and I felt close to God when I fellowshipped with my Christian friends. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God did not come by observation and He said we would never see it. Gods Promised Land and the His Kingdom is not the physical land of Israel in the Middle East, Gods Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom in the hearts of Christians, because when we ask Jesus into our heart, God comes to dwell within us. Luke 17:20-2120 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 “nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus clearly says here that the Kingdom of God can not be seen with our eyes and it does not come by observation, because the Kingdom of God is in our hearts when we ask Jesus to come into our lives. When Christians fellowship together in the love of Christ they are in the true Kingdom of God; and they are truly existing in the Promised Land that comes not by observation. The Kingdom of God is an unseen Kingdom that dwells in the hearts of men and women who ask Jesus to come into them. God promised land is unseen by carnal eyes, but if youre a Christian and can see through the eyes of Christ you can see the real eternal Kingdom of God in the hearts of true born again believers. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18). The physical land of Israel in the Middle East is only a temporal seen physical thing, and its going to pass away, only the words of Jesus will last for eternity. Jesus said, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matt 24:35). If you want to be apart of Gods eternal Kingdom you need to have the living word within you, because thats the only way to live for eternity in Gods Kingdom. The living word is Jesus Christ and if you have Him in your heart you will never pass away, and you will belong to the unseen spiritual land of Israel, the real Kingdom of God and the real Israel. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God cannot be seen, physical Israel is clearly not Gods Kingdom because its a seen physical place that people can see, and Jesus clearly said that the Kingdom of God cannot be seen. Gods Kingdom dwells within the hearts of born again believers of Jesus Christ; its a spiritual Kingdom that will never die. Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3). If you get on a plane and fly to Israel you will not find Gods Kingdom there, because a plane will not take you to Gods Kingdom. If you want to enter Gods Kingdom you need to be born again just like Jesus says because Jesus said you cannot enter the Kingdom of God “unless you are born again.” To see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again through Jesus Christ. If you want to live for eternity and be apart of the glorious spiritual Kingdom of God, all you need to do is ask Jesus Christ into your life. Its a free gift from God, if you open the door of your heart and ask Jesus to come in, he will come into you and dwell within you and bring the Kingdom of God into your heart. Jesus said, Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will sup with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20). Reader, I have a ticket right here for you that I am giving away for free that will take you to the Kingdom of God. Just say this prayer and mean it with your heart and soul and the Kingdom of God will come to you: Dear Jesus, I know Im a sinner and I make mistakes all the time, I repent of the wrongs Ive done in the past and I ask you to please come into my life and set me free. Please come into my heart and fill the empty space in my heart with your love and peace. Please bring the spiritual Kingdom of God into my heart that you promised us in the gospels, I want to live forever in your eternal Kingdom with you Jesus. Take me to the Promised Land Jesus and come and dwell within me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen If you have prayed this prayer you are on your way to the Kingdom of God, and you will live for eternity in that Kingdom that will never pass away. For God so loved the world he gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believed in Him would not perish but would have eternal life. (John 3:16). If you prayed this prayer, you have booked yourself a ticket that will take you to the spiritual Kingdom of God and you will live for eternity.
