From the desk of Steve Shultz:
This is a "multi-dimensional" word about the different kingdoms that exist, and Theresa Phillips gives us a real eye-opener into the different kingdoms. I can tell that this word was burning in her heart. I think she explains things well here in how the different kingdoms function. BUT God saved the BEST Kingdom for last that will never cease nor fade away. Great word!
First here are a couple of awesome resources to go along with this word:
Theresa Phillips:
The Merging of Three Kingdoms is at Hand
Outrageous Hunger and Tenacity
The Bible says in Matthew 11:12, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
Daniel expressed in Daniel 7:15, "As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved and anxious within me, and the visions of my head alarmed and agitated me."
When I read these Scriptures, I received a word from the Lord that moves me still—in abundant alarm, excitement, and great desire; increased passion and intimate worship.
I have learned you must speak from experience—you are your own best material. So I will share with you what He is showing me. I am seeing in all, I mean all the meetings I am in, an outrageous hunger, a passion, a drive like never before! People flooding the altars for more. For victory, for healing, for the holy baptism—whatever substance they can get. People are hungry for God. These hungry, sweet people are Christians!
Hunger—holy hunger is groaning in the stomachs of the lovers of God. They are passionate about the signs and wonders. People are becoming consumed with worship. They will not relent at the thought of receiving one drop of glory. They want it!
This very passion will drive out the Lord's enemies. Deliverances will take place. Joy will increase and grace will have conquered the very heart of a man. Souls will run to the House of the Lord and the lost will be saved, the prodigals will come home. This is the word of the Lord. Praise Jesus!
I was standing in the parking lot of the building that houses our ministry, and I was chatting with another tenant of the building, just telling him about the glory of God with signs and wonders...when, I saw a wonderful feather begin to fall. This feather was a so-brilliant white! I began to tell the man about the feathers that have been falling in our meetings. I was convinced he thought I was—well, you know—silly. Then we both began to search the sky for the bird. There was no bird.
He was curious, and he was not a Believer.
Then, right above us shone that white feather, and no bird! He said to me, "Then why are you not grabbing that feather now?" I began to run after the feather, desperate to show him that the presence of God was real. But to my own surprise, he ran after the feather with me—he too wanted it! It escaped us; it swooped back up into the bright blue sky. We were not to recover this gift. Yet, we believed! The man asked more; I stood there for over an hour sharing testimony after testimony. He listened, then he said he believed. Praise God! (That very tenacity is what is going to win the lost and shake back the militant foes.)
The very idea that God could show up in such a manner to this one man made me even more desperate than ever to run after Him and to get even closer still. Then I heard the Lord say, "How you respond will determine your future." That shakes me even now. How we respond to God will determine our future? God, help!
Then and there I decided I needed to know more. I need Him! But, more than just thinking of me, I knew the lost needed Him and I was to present this word to them—the lost, the weary, the wounded and the faint. We need to present words that He will fight for us, He will conquer for us, and most of all, how much He loves us ALL. Then, allow Him to just show up and be His glorious Self!
The Three Kingdoms
The Lord showed me specifically three kingdoms: the kingdom of this world, the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
1. The kingdom of this world is satan's realm of influence.
The devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.—Luke 4:5
Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My Kingdom is from another place."—John 18:36
2. The Kingdom of God is loosed on earth and empowered by Holy Spirit with man.
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in Heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in Heaven.—Matthew 16:19
But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you [before you expected it].—Matthew 12:28
This vernacular of God's Kingdom is what is in the earth realm. These parables speak of the Kingdom of GOD here in the earth and GOD who moves in them is HOLY SPIRIT.
3. The Kingdom of Heaven is the above.
And the Kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the Kingdom under the whole heavens shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all the dominions shall serve and obey Him.—Daniel 7:27
IN THOSE days there appeared John the Baptist, preaching in the Wilderness (Desert) of Judea and saying, Repent (think differently; change your mind, regretting your sins and changing your conduct), for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. This is he who was mentioned by the prophet Isaiah when he said, The voice of one crying in the wilderness (shouting in the desert), Prepare the road for the Lord, make His highways straight (level, direct).—Matthew 3:1-3
The Shift is Here!
I am becoming aware that a far Greater Glory is upon us. It is the merging of three kingdoms. In this merge we will see a radical change of faith for the Heavens. Many are being called to preach the Kingdom of God—the Kingdom of Heaven! Many are consumed by the kingdoms of this world. This movement is growing fast and it is furious. It will subdue whole nations and denominations as well. The shift is here!
It will be challenged, but it will not be stopped. It will have quiet times of rest, not retreat. Times like this are only to regroup the armies of the Lord for greater works and stronger arms, and mighty, militant, unashamed praisers. Whole assemblies will receive encounters in one brief second; it will be a suddenly—an awesome suddenly!
In these days we read and hear and wonder, What is the Kingdom of God? And, What is the Kingdom of Heaven? I am convinced that we are entering the merging of these two dimensions as in Daniel 2:44 (AMP): "And in the days of these (final ten) kings shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever." This war is on the increase to win. The Kingdom of God is expanding across Christendom. The world tries to shut up the Heavens, but the Church will break them open, radically changed by the presence of Almighty God in the midst of shift.
Enthroning the King
People are starting to wake up to the fact that the King must become enthroned back into the Church (Psalm 22:3 Yet You are holy...enthroned upon the praises of Israel.) It is the reality of His presence. This presence will be established before the coming of the Lord. He says, "I will have Me a people who will crown Me King in the assembly of the saints." Taking it to the streets, they will report what they see from His Holy Palace in Heaven!
He is calling many from the outer courts into the Holy Courts, the inner sanctum of His regal, majestic, kingly presence. It is beyond the veil to the place of honorable intimacy with the King. A reward of worship, praise and hunger. He is challenging many to redirect their praise from earth to Heaven to a praise that joins the praises of Heaven to earth. "I will have Me a people," says the Lord, "I will!"
The Kingdom of Heaven has no end, however the Kingdom of God in the earth will cease as we know it. The Kingdom of God is the realm of the Spirit that guides all things eternal in the now. Now being here in the below. He is the King on earth. Holy Spirit is King on earth, the impenetrable part of the Godhead that is ever present with us! He is reigning and raining the eternal Government in the earth for now.
Psalm 46:6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts his voice, the earth melts.
Holy Spirit as King is now releasing governmental shifts in the spirit and in the natural. He is taking back the Kingdoms of God the Father. God has heard the prayers of His people just as God heard the Israelites in the days of Moses.
Exodus 3:7 And the Lord said, "I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters and oppressors; for I know their sorrows and sufferings and trials."
In this time, God has not only heard the prayer of travail, but the cries of spiritual hunger. He is releasing the fatted calf and is feeding protein to the hungry to minister before Him. Yes, He is giving strength to those who felt weary, weakened and abandoned, those who lost the hope during the wait...He is HERE!
"This is the Hour and Time When the Three Kingdoms will Merge"
It is here, in the place of hunger, where the Kingdom of God in the earth realm becomes covered by prayer, causing an overshadowing of the Holy Spirit's presence. The overshadowing (Psalm 91:1) is being released by prayer all over the world. The prayer is being heard from the Heavenlies; God is hearing your prayers. Good deeds are being recognized by Heaven. The manifestation of spiritual gifts are exploding on the earth and are being watched by all of Heaven!
Yet, a new realm is merging with this one. It is the passionate power of radical praise that shakes the Heavens and enthrones the King, a place of habitation for Him to dwell in. Places of manifestations will emerge as saints radically join in the celestial praise of God's own throne room—crying in unison with the redeemed, the elders, the moving Holy Spirit from dimension to dimension. Angels will be leading worship with sound never heard of here in the below. Here we will begin to see two dimensions of the Kingdom of God merge as one force that cannot be reckoned with (Daniel 2:44)—praise that will transform any ordinary service into a radical out-of-the-box worship. A tangible presence of God's own Glory will be seen, smelled, felt, heard and tasted. It will change the hearts of men forever! The lost will run to this place of habitation and find rest and JOY for their souls!
"This is the hour and time when the three Kingdoms will merge," says the Lord.
The kingdom of this world will be subdued (overtaken) by the Kingdom of God (the Kingdom governed under and by Heaven). The Kingdom of God will be fulfilled with the Kingdom of Heaven (including angelic visitation and manifestation, where the reign of the Heavenlies will be present here in the below). Two tangible dimensions of the Kingdom of God revealed! The land will shake and the people will breakout in radical praise. This will turn back the ever present assault on the Church! Shifting the very hand of God to the below with signs, wonders and miracles! A tangible presence of God Almighty will be known. He will come in power, He will come in might! He is God!
Prepare for the Release of the Kingdom Of Heaven!
Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
When Elijah said to his servant, "Look," it took seven tries before the servant caught the vision of a cloud the size of a man's hand. So it will be in looking for the Kingdom of Heaven: LOOK...it is at hand!
Revelation 11:15 (The Seventh Trumpet) The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in Heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever."
