The Kingdom of God


                                  explains why people are dramatically healed today by the power
                                  of God and also continue to get sick and die. It explains why we
                                  have  strength  through  weakness  and  life  through  death.  (Don
                                  Williams, 108)

                                                          Conclusion


                              The Kingdom is truly present with us now. Jesus announced that the
                           kingdom of God had come. It had come because He, the King, had come!
                           The kingdom of God also comes when the power of God is manifested
                           today through people being saved, delivered, healed, and baptized in the
                           Holy Spirit. We can help advance the kingdom of God by imitating the
                           ministry of Jesus. We should minister in the Spirit’s power, just as He did.


                              Although the Kingdom has come in reality, it has not come in all of its
                           fullness. That will only happen when Jesus comes again and sets up His
                           kingdom on earth. We will discuss this future aspect of the kingdom of
                           God in the next chapter.
