Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

I'm coming to the end of a long, very demanding travel schedule.

This is the final week of the stretch, and I'll be on the road the entire week.

To help me out, I have asked some of our favorite,

give him 15 guests to write posts.

They are outstanding.

Today's post from my friend Greg Hood

is a very encouraging message on the victorious church.

Enjoy. Hello and welcome to Give Him 15. I'm Greg Hood, and it is my great honor today to sit in for my friend Dutch Sheets. The title of our post today is the victorious church.

Now, there is some confusion regarding the assignment of the church in the earth.

Many think that our only job is to witness, save the lost, get them into heaven.

They say, let's plunder hell and let's populate heaven, right? Well, that's a great

idea, but it's not complete. Yeshua never assigned us to offer people only heaven. That was not

his goal. We're to bring people into the kingdom of God. I know what you're thinking.

Isn't the kingdom of God in heaven? Well, yes and no. Actually, our destiny is not heaven.

Our destiny is in the kingdom of God on the earth. Matthew chapter 6 and verse 10 makes this very clear. It reads, your kingdom come

and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are assigned to the earth to expand the

kingdom of God. Now let me clarify, when you die,

you go to heaven if you're born again.

But it's a short stay.

We will return with Yeshua to a new heaven

and a new earth.
