God's New Testament economy is to build the church with Christ through the kingdom. The church is God's goal, God's desire and destination. His intention is to build the church. As we all know, in order to build anything we need certain material. The material for the building of the church is Christ. Along with the material, we also need the method of building. In Matthew 16 we see the goal, the material, and the method. The goal is the church, the material is Christ, and the method is the kingdom.

About Michael When people describe Michael Smith, you will hear words like; motivator, entrepreneur, fitness guru, bodybuilding, counselor, visionary, warrior, hero, comedian, trusted confidante, and faithful friend. But most of all, Michael Smith is an anointed man of God, with a heart for those who need healing, improved health or desire to live victorious lives according to scripture. Michael began his coaching and training career in 1974, coaching a swimming team to its first state championships. Just a few years later, Michael coached a Golden Gloves boxing team with three state champions, including his own state title. In a few personal tragedies that netted him several hundred stitches and scores of broken bones, most wrote Michael off as a 'has been, ' never to be again. It was at this point that the Lord 'called' Michael to "get my people fit!" In 1988 Michael shocked them all when the readers of Rocky Mountain Sport Fitness Magazine voted him the Male Aerobics Instructor of 1988! The following year topped himself when he won the Masters Division in the USA Natural Bodybuilding Championships. To prove that is wasn't a fluke victory, three months later Michael won the Natural America Masters Bodybuilding overall title! Diversifying his experience, Michael then moved to the physical therapy community, helping others rehabilitate injuries to the knees, shoulders, and back. It was at this point that Michael dropped everything to attend the Heritage Christian Center, School of Ministry in Denver, Colorado under the direction of Bishop Dennis Leonard, where he graduated in 1996. Michael is currently a personal trainer at the University of Denver where he has trained 2008 Mr. Olympia third place finisher Phillip Heath, multiple national titlist, and two-time Olympic medal winner in figure skating, Michelle Kwan, and 2008 Beijing Olympic all-round gymnast, Jessica Lopez.

This issue of The Ministry of the Word contains the eight messages given during the international training for elders and responsible ones held in Anaheim, California, on April 5 through 7, 2019. The general subject of this series of messages is "The Development of the Kingdom of God in the Christian Life and the Church Life." The kingdom of God is a wonderful person--the Lord Jesus Christ, who as the Sower sowed the seed of the kingdom into the soil of our heart. This kingdom seed, which is Christ Himself as both the King and the kingdom through the word, needs to grow and develop in our inner being to become God's ruling realm. The kingdom is the realm of life for the divine life to move, rule, and govern so that life may accomplish its purpose. The kingdom that is developing is not only divine life but also Christ Himself as a wonderful person expanding within us. Before there can be the manifestation of the kingdom with the Lord's coming, there must be the reality of the kingdom inwardly and the practicality of the kingdom in the Christian life and the church life. In our Christian life, we live the kingdom life by living a hidden life. Because the kingdom has been sown as a seed into us, the development and manifestation of the kingdom must come from the hidden growth of the roots within the soil. The kingdom life is a life in the depths, a life that can "take root downward and bear fruit upward" (Isa. 37:31). The principle of the kingdom people is that they live a hidden life, not performing their righteous deeds before men. Messages 1 and 2 emphasize the Christian life, particularly the inward reality of the kingdom that is developing and the matter of learning to have a life hidden in God so that the kingdom life may deepen in us. The kingdom is the reality of the church, and the church is the practical expression and representation of the kingdom. Apart from the kingdom life, we cannot live the church life. The genuine church is the kingdom of God in this age. Today the believers live the kingdom life in the church. Messages 3 through 6 focus on various aspects of the kingdom and the church. Message 3 directly concerns the kingdom and the church. Message 4 is on relationships in the kingdom. In particular, it is on the seriousness of living a forgiving life so that we will have no issues before the Son of Man that will cost us the kingdom reward. In Message 5 we see the need for shutting up the gates of Hades through the exercise of the keys of denying the self, taking up the cross, and losing the soul-life. Message 6 focuses on the responsibility of the church to engage in spiritual warfare, mainly through prayer, because of the conf lict between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. The responsibility of the church is to bring the kingdom of God to the earth in glorious manifestation. Message 7 is concerned with our being watchful in life and faithful in service. For life, we need oil, the Spirit of God, even His filling, that we may be enabled to live the virgin life for the Lord's testimony. For service, for work, we need the talent, the spiritual gift, that we may be equipped as a good slave to accomplish what the Lord intends to accomplish. Message 8 concludes this series by releasing a burden on proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom throughout the entire inhabited earth and discipling the nations. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations before the end of this age. We have the authority, commission, and position of our resurrected Christ to disciple the nations for the spread and development of the kingdom of God. The Announcements section at the end of this issue contains a list of upcoming conferences and trainings hosted by Living Stream Ministry and a website link for information related to similar events in Europe.
