"When a king walks the earth,

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU!

Foreword

by Apostle Larry Pratcher, Jr.

It is with great honor and respect that I offer you this foreword for this great resource. This is more than just a book for good reading, but it is a great resource for meditation and activation of faith through prayer. I have had the privilege and honor to witness the growth and spiritual maturity of Intercessor Rasheda Davis firsthand. Over the past 8 years it has been so apparent of the working of Ruach HaKodesh in this woman of God’s life. This end-time epistle has been downloaded from the Father to us for such a time as this. You will find so many scriptures and strategies on how to maneuver in the Spirit using the keys that Yahweh has provided for us through Yeshua. This powerful prayer manual will unlock many doors of understanding in the mind of the seeking believer, as His intercessor has given us a roadmap on how to conquer in prayer using the weapons of warfare activating the keys of the kingdom. As you read and reread this battle plan of intercessory prayer strategies, your prayer life will be changed and super-charged through the impartation of Ruach HaKodesh. I truly thank Rasheda for allowing the Father to impart to her a manual that will bless every reader that is serious about allowing the Lord to use them in prayer for such a time as this. To our spiritual daughter, I say job well done on this manual, and I pray that this manual finds its way into every believer’s hands. Keep up the great work. This epistle will bless your life. I declare that you will be blessed from the many tears, prayers, fasting, and dedication it took to write an end- time epistle on unlocking the doors of the kingdom. Enjoy & Receive!

Introduction

The writing of this manual is Holy Spirit-inspired, scripture and revelation-based, and breathed upon by the working of HIM who lives forever. Every chapter of this book surely points to Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ and His Kingdom. This teaching details how the church is given a mandate to continue in Jesus Christ’s mission with keys that open the heaven. You will find insight on how to engage in Kingdom authority and dimensions of power, while flowing in miraculous faith. You will certainly learn how to slay the giants in your bloodline, city and nations by operating in the Spirit of God. This equipping manual is intended to arm the believers with knowledge on how to open the realm of glory. As you open the eternal realm, you shall eyewitness the Kingdom as IT IS ESTABLISHED IN THE THIRD HEAVEN in the earth (2 Cor. 12:2, Matt. 6:10).

This is what Jesus declared, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John 14:12 KJV). Jesus is speaking to those who believe in Him: the works (of miracles, signs and wonders) that He has done, the believers will also experience and do. The church is now Christ’s hands, feet, eyes, mouth and spiritual ears in the earth. There was an appointed time for the Son of God to be released from the earth. That time came when Jesus (Yeshua) fulfilled His mission by redeeming man back to the Father through his death, burial and resurrection. His earthly assignment (to redeem man) had a divine timing to establish the will of the heavenly Father in the earth. After completing this assignment, the Son of God went back to His heavenly dwellings with the Father Yahweh, (positioned on the right hand of Him), as He prepares a place for the family of God (those who will inherit the Kingdom) [John 14:3]. This Kingdom of people, called His bride (the church), shall prepare herself to be where He is (Rev. 19:7). There will be a Second coming of Yeshua, Jesus Christ (as recorded in Rev. 22:12; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 16:27-42) at the timing of the Father. Meanwhile, the Son of God has given the body of Christ His authority, power and ministry to continue in, so the Kingdom of God may come in the earth as it is in heaven. The Holy Spirit (who is the Third Person of the Godhead) came to fill the body of Christ with (dynamis) power (Acts 1:8; 2:2-4). He shall lead and empower the church to take dominion in the earth as it is in heaven. God raised us (the church) up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6).

As you take this faith journey throughout this book, you shall become equipped to use your spiritual keys or weapons that will yield supernatural results (Matt. 16:18-19). You will see yourself as God sees you and walk in the unearthly and royal Kingdom of God. This teaching will also bring clear instruction on the importance of walking upright (Living a Holy Life) as you and I operate in the gifts of the Spirit. There are many who have gone astray by having a form of godliness by denying its power (2 Tim. 3:5). Jesus says, "Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter unto the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY FATHER which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out demons? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:21-23)." The teachings in this book will draw the line between the holy and unholy use of spiritual keys.

You will learn Hebrew/Greek definitions and terms, as it relates to the Word of God to bring depths of understanding to the scriptures throughout this manual. There are illustrations, study guides, training sessions, worksheets or quizzes, to give each reader/student of the Kingdom a visual and practical comprehension, on how to function by faith, along with other keys to promote an open heaven. This schooling will equip you to function in the realm of the supernatural to experience the Kingdom of God in your midst. My prayer is for the Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew name for Holy Spirit) to open the understanding of each reader on how to operate in the earth from a Kingdom (mindset) perspective.

Please be advised that there are different versions of the bible used in this writing for teaching/equipping purposes. May you unite with the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to witness: "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy WILL be done IN EARTH, as it is IN HEAVEN" (Matthew 6:10 KJV). This book is based on the foundation of this scripture as it points to the Spirit of God at work in the earth through the church.

Chapter 1

The Kingdom of God is Within You

(Understanding Kingdom Power & Authority and how to operate in it!)

This inspiring session will train you to shift miracles in the earth as it is in heaven. This teaching will help you to understand the royal power and absolute authority you possess by the work of He, who lives in you (1 John 4:4). So get ready to move in the realm of the Kingdom of heaven through the power of the Spirit of God.

And when He (Jesus) had called unto him his twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. As you go, proclaim this message, The Kingdom of heaven has come near. God’s headquarter has come near to do what: 1) Heal the sick, 2) cleanse the lepers, 3) raise the dead, 4) cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:1, 7-8).

The royal power that Jesus gave His disciples is His supernatural strength and divine ability to perform miracles and to exercise absolute authority, to rule (and cast out unclean spirits) and to heal all manner of sickness and disease. Matthew 10:1,7 records how the royal power and the Kingdom of heaven has come in the earth. When the Kingdom of heaven arrives or is at hand, it shows up with full/infinite authority to manifest the things of heaven in the visible earth. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is not in word (not a matter of talk), but in power (1 Cor. 4:20 KJV). It’s a demonstration of the Spirit’s power and authority of God at work against the kingdom of darkness. For this reason, the disciples were given and authorized by the eternal King to function in dynamis (G1411) power and exousia (G1849) authority to govern the earth (Luke 9:1-2). "If my Kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my Kingdom is not from here (John 18:36 KJV)." The apostles were functioning in dynamis (supernatural) divine power and authority given to them by the interminable King (Matthew 10:1,7). This explains why demons were subject to them as they ordered them out in the perpetual name of Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ (Luke 10:17). The Kingdom of God (the royal power, kingship, and dominion of the Messiah) was indeed among them, as the King of Glory gave them power in the earth over darkness. For the eternal King of the Kingdom was present in their very midst and another Kingdom had arrived. They were given royal power and authorized by the Jewish King to function with it. The Jewish Messiah had arrived to preach, and to say, Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 4:17). The eternal King of the Kingdom had come near. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6; John 10:9).

There was coming a time when the King of Glory would return to His heavenly dwelling to prepare a place for His Kingdom people. Then, the King would not be physically present (in the flesh) among them in the earth. This is when a set time did occur for the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to be poured out (Acts 2) in the earth to live inside (indwell/fill) the citizens of the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus (Yeshua) said to them, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (to help you), that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you (John 14:16-18)."

They were commanded that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. They asked: Lord, are you at THIS TIME going to restore the Kingdom to Israel? Jesus replied to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight (Acts 1:4-9).

After the Apostles received the infilling power of the Holy Spirit, they asked other believers, Have you received the Holy Ghost (Spirit) since you believed? They replied, we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost (Spirit). So Paul asked, Then what baptism did you receive?

John’s baptism, they replied. Paul said, "John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in JESUS. On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all (Acts 19:2-7).

Is the Kingdom of God within You?

Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when He made the statement, "the Kingdom of God is within you?" Is it really?

Luke 17:20-21 (KJV) gives us a clear picture of what Jesus meant, "spiritually", by making this statement.

And when He (Jesus) was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come, He (Jesus) answered them and said,

"The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

As you view the text, you will notice how Jesus answered their question by giving them a Kingdom response. Yet, the Pharisees were unable to perceive the Son of God’s statement by leaning to their own humanistic intellect. (Proverbs 3:5 KJV)

Scripture to Memorize:

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV).

*People who do not have God’s Spirit do not accept the things that come from His Spirit. They think these things are foolish. They cannot understand them, because they can only be understood with the Spirit’s help.
