The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence Understanding the Kingdom Series | UTK 82 Biblical Life TV   In Matt. 11:11-15 and Luke 16:13-17, Jesus revealed two types of individuals: (1) Those that accept Messiah and are pressing into the Kingdom, and (2) Those that have rejected Messiah and will use violence to create a utopia without Him.  Historically, the words of Jesus hold true from the religious leaders in New Testament times to today's humanists/communists.  For those that have surrendered to Messiah, the Book of Hebrews reveals three elements needed to become a part of the Kingdom that cannot be shaken:  Grace, reverence, and godly fear.   Dr. Michael Lake is the Senior Pastor of Biblical Life Assembly, the Chancellor and Founder of Biblical Life College and Seminary.
