Living A Radiant Life – August Edition

Happy August Radiant Ladies! I pray that you had a BLESSED July. And oh my! What a month it was: from celebrating America's Independence Day with an amazing 4th of July event and fireworks at EMIC, to the move of the Holy Spirit through Sis. Iva Bennett at our Radiant Meeting, and concluding with the 2025 Southwest Believers Convention!! You could not have asked for more! As a reminder, if you missed the July Radiant meeting, you can watch the video below. 

Last month we talked about how God chose to exercise dominion through man. So, let's continue with our study. Jesus is the One who made that possible for us. He opened the way. He established God’s kingdom among us and showed us how to bring it into manifestation in this natural world. 

“But,” you may say, “I thought Jesus said His kingdom wasn’t of this world.” He did, but that doesn’t mean His kingdom didn’t operate in this world. What it means is that its power didn’t originate here. The Amplified Bible says it this way, “My kingdom is not from here (this world); [it has no such origin or source]” (John 18:36). 

Jesus’ whole ministry was one of preaching and demonstrating the kingdom of God. As Mark 1:14-15 says, His ministry began when He “came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

Jesus was saying, “You don’t have to wait anymore. The dominion of God, His kingdom, is here right now! You can come in. God’s power is here to break into this natural world to heal, deliver and set you free! So change your mind. Quit thinking like you used to think. Believe this good news!”

I love you! 

Pastor Cathy
