God created the universe with speaking . . . “Let there be . . . ”
Today, through Jesus Christ, He lives in you. How do you learn to hear Him speaking into your heart, and really know it’s Him?
Kingdom Faith Ministries International is devoted to helping God’s people learn to hear and obey His still small voice. Deuteronomy 8 declares that God’s purpose in having His people wander in the wilderness for 40 years was to learn to hear and live by every word that proceeded from His mouth.
God is still speaking, and like the Israelites, we must learn how to hear Him with confidence and precision. Are you eager to hear what the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking today to those who have discovered how to find Him in the secret place and drink from His fountain of Living Water? He will invite you to sit on His throne if you overcome in the pursuit of hearing His voice (Revelation 3:21).

The Mayflower Compact was the first covenant agreement in the new world that later became the United States.
Crafted and signed after more than 12 years of escaping religious persecution in England where the penalty for owning a Bible or meeting for worshipping God was death or imprisonment, the Mayflower Compact was the first binding agreement in the Americas that recognized:
These are no small concepts. The people own the right to self-governance. And those rights are protected and embodied in what we now know as the Constitution of the United States.
Here is how The Mayflower Compact reads:
In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together in a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France and Ireland the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini 1620.
The United States endures because of the blessings of God, secured by His providence, and sustained by those who choose to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. It is, and has always been, a Christian nation that insisted on freedom of worship and free assembly. These freedoms are what the Pilgrims came to America to establish once and for all.
Neither by kings, nor the laws they create, shall the God-given rights of His people be infringed, in the name of the king of Kings, Jesus Christ, Amen.
From our hearts to yours with much thanksgiving,

Today's triumph is often built on yesterday's trial. But how can we speed up the process and overcome these trials faster? Jesus taught the answer. It has to do with the kingdom of God.
To many believers, the word "kingdom" generically means “things above,” something Godly, or some future place in heaven. But the kingdom of God is more specific than that. The kingdom refers to the presence of God. It is the presence of God which we are to seek first, and His righteousness. It is not a place. It is His presence behind the veil.
Put simply, the kingdom of God is the presence of the King that is acquired legally when you became born again, but is activated through the relationship you seek and that you keep with Jesus Christ.
It is out of this personal interactive relationship that one-ness arises. This one-ness is the kingdom presence of God within you. It is what Jesus prayed for in the Garden (John 17), and what He was talking about when He said that He was going to prepare a place for you (John 14:1-3). He was talking about the kingdom “place” of His presence where you can meet with Him at any time.
Notice that righteousness also arises. Romans 14:17-18 declares this exquisite connection between the kingdom presence of God and righteousness:
Righteousness
The Scriptures clearly declare that you are the righteousness of God (Romans 3:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 3:9, 1 Corinthians 1:30). Getting our soul to believe that we are as righteous as God is has been a regular chore for many believers. So let these verses soak in your heart!
God made us righteous. Our performance, or lack thereof, contributes nothing to God making us righteous, only our faith in Jesus Christ to believe what God’s word says!
One of satan’s primary attacks is against your sense of right-standing and acceptance before God. Don't quit trying and reminding yourself of your righteousness! And yet there is an easier way.
The easier way results from seeking (and enjoying) the presence of God. Hebrews 4:1-11 speak of this as resting in Him. In this place of rest in His presence, we find our struggles to "feel" righteous cease. Instead, we experience times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19).
So what is the path of all life? What is it that makes us righteous? What is it that we are to seek first?
We seek first His presence, a daily personal fellowship, that "better thing" that Mary found, that daily manna of hearing and communing with Jesus Christ for which will be invited to sit with Him on His throne - all this is why we seek first the kingdom presence of God. It is the path of life. The Holy Spirit stands ready to guide you into this place, with the person of the all truth, Jesus Christ.
