In 1973, E. Stanley Jones published his final and life-changing book, The Unshakeable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person. Jones (1884-1973) was a Christian missionary and evangelist who spent 70 years traveling the world. His approach to evangelism was presenting Jesus without the trappings of Western culture. He suggested that over the centuries the Church has lost the Kingdom message by pouring it into molds of our own making and rejecting the Kingdom as Jesus preached it: the Kingdom of God is unstoppable! Today, let's listen to a passage that be can life-changing—if we believe it.

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.” (Revelation 11:15 NLT)

Wow! Let’s listen to the powerful proclamation from the seventh angel again: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.” And yet, when Jesus began His earthly ministry, people saw him as prophet or a teacher or another religious leader with interesting and challenging ideas. But those perceptions showed that the people didn't understand Jesus at all. He was—and He is—the unstoppable, unlimited, and eternal Kingdom of God. His Kingdom isn't a political kingdom, isn’t a social kingdom, isn't an economic kingdom or even a religious kingdom. And it’s not a Lutheran, Baptist, Charismatic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, or Pentecostal kingdom. It’s the Kingdom God and it has no limits and possesses all authority.

You and I can only experience life the way God intends it when we organize our lives around Him. Jesus Himself is the unstoppable Kingdom of God...and that is very Good News!
