"It is the presence of the Kingdom of God, which brings hope to the world and will triumph over the powers of darkness. The ancient prophets foresaw these two kingdoms and their parallel existence on the earth. They spoke of the conflict which exists between these two powers a thousand times over. Involved in the conflict is the human race, with its fallen nature that can only be reconciled by the cross of Christ. Thus, preaching of "the Gospel of the Kingdom of God" in its fullness is the Father's mandate to the Church...my prayer is that you will fully embrace the Kingdom of God, its message, methods and mandate, and that you will take your place in the continuing and forever victory that is in Christ."
