Greater than John the
Baptist:
Matthew 11:11
11 “Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not
arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Luke 7:28
28 “I say to you, among those born of women there is no one
greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God
Are you in the Kingdom? Then you are
greater than John the Baptist! That’s a pretty amazing statement. It is your
destiny. Jesus wasn’t putting down John. However, John wasn’t in the Kingdom.
He was still operating under the Old Covenant. We are operating under the New,
which has even better promises. We are born again and have the Holy Spirit
permanently within. John wasn’t and didn’t. He was filled with the Spirit while
still in His mother’s womb, but it’s not the same has having the Spirit
indwelling us. Even Jesus said we’d do even greater works than He, so why
wouldn’t we be greater than John the Baptist? Besides, who says you’re the
least?
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"Do
not think of yourselves as little, My children. In My Kingdom, you are great;
for I have chosen you for greatness. There is none greater than those in My
Kingdom. I have chosen gladly for you to receive My Kingdom. It is a Kingdom of
joy. It is a Kingdom of peace. And it is a Kingdom of love. There is no greater
joy than to walk in My Kingdom in My Spirit. There is no greater freedom than
to do so. You are a chosen generation; one that is chosen to bring in My
Kingdom into this realm. The devil has chosen this generation to be his
greatest ally in the fight against Me; but it cannot succeed. He will fail; for
I am infallible. You are My chosen instruments to bring about the end of His
Kingdom in this realm. You can overcome all in his Kingdom when you rely on My
Spirit empowered by My Word.”
100. I am in the Kingdom of God
