Mark 1:14-15 Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, (15) and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Just before Jesus said, “the kingdom of God is at hand”, He was baptized in water and baptized in the Holy Spirit. Then He went into the desert to be tempted by the devil and defeated His enemy, Satan, there. Next, Jesus preached, “the kingdom of God is at hand.” Then He picked His disciples and goes into His miracle making ministry. Everywhere Jesus went, He brought the kingdom of God on the scene. This caused signs, wonders, and miracles. Demons were cast out, people were healed, lepers were cleansed, and the dead were raised. The blind saw, the deaf would hear, the lame walked, the sick became well. Even the wind and rain obeyed Him. Plus He raised the dead. Love in action changed peoples’ lives. The greedy became generous. Sinners repented and changed their lifestyles. Hope increased. Heaven was made available to all. He told people about the kingdom of God; people received Him as Savior and Lord and followed Him and obeyed Him.
Remember, Jesus was preaching the gospel which is good news, And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is at hand.”
He told His disciples to preach and say, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Note: The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven is the same.) And they did the same things Jesus did and saw the same results.
 Matthew 10:1, 7-8 (1) “Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. (7)And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ (8) Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give.”
When the disciples did this they were amazed as God worked through them to perform miracles as Jesus did. The people were healed, demons fled, lives were changed, many believed in Jesus as Savior and began to follow Him.
We are talking here about the kingdom of God, not a denomination or a particular church group.  Kingdom minded people think differently; we don’t think like the world. We trust God. We experience blessings. We expect God’s Presence. We expect and see miracles. We walk in love and unity toward one another. We are sensitive to the Holy Spirit and do what He says. We have Holy Spirit power. Jesus gives us authority over all the power of the enemy. We continuously point people to Jesus. We expect to be in heaven after we die. John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Jesus preached about the kingdom of heaven. He taught us to pray to our Father in heaven and say, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” In heaven there is nothing broken and nothing missing. We are to call the kingdom of heaven into earth. We are to call blessings into the earth. We are to call God’s will into the earth.
Jesus tells us to do the things that He did so we too are to preach and say,  “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” and the same things will happen as it did with Jesus and His disciples. We are his disciples. And we are to make more disciples. We are here for kingdom business and activity.  Jesus said in John 14:12 ”Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”
If you have received Jesus as Savior and Lord, and you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you have the power of God in you ready to be released to those in need. So begin now-right now. Say, “The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” When you walk into a place remember you are carrying the kingdom of God in you. Expect the atmosphere to change. Expect signs, wonders and miracles. Be bold .Heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead-whether spiritually are at times in the natural. Be a person who has and who brings the peace of God through Jesus Christ to others. Speak life everywhere you go. Preach Jesus. Bring others into the kingdom. Be a soul winner. Lead people to Jesus. Be a good example.  Walk in love, walk in power. Be a difference maker for God. Let’s help fill heaven with people.
It is good to know the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Jesus said that He is with us even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20)
So continue to go and say, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” And you will see a mighty miracle working God move on your behalf and those you minister to. Mark 16:20 “And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.”
Enter in to the kingdom of heaven: Would you like to know you will be in the kingdom of heaven forever enjoying eternal life with God. Pray this: Lord, I am a sinner. I need a Savior. I confess my sins to you and ask Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He died for me on the cross. His blood washed away my sin. I receive Jesus now as my Savior and the Lord of my life.     He is now in control. He is the Leader and the Boss of my life. I will gladly serve Him. Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit and give me power to serve You and present Jesus to people as I say, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand.’ I want to bring others to know You also. I want to live a life pleasing to my Father in heaven-In Jesus Name. Amen. Now read  Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:8-9; 6:23; 10:9-10,13; Acts 1:8; 2:38; II Peter 3:18.
    Your part in the kingdom: Serving and giving is our part as believers in Jesus. We are representatives of the kingdom of God. He has given to us so our needs are met and so we can give to others and help build His kingdom. Our Cowboy Partners have a part in every soul we reach for Jesus. Together we are about the Father’s business as we say,” the kingdom of heaven is at hand”, and see people healed, delivered and saved. Jesus says, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35) As you give we expect God’s kingdom blessings to fall on you as well as others we reach through his ministry.
