About the Author

Penned from the author's heart:  Mark Loretz

The year 2024 marks the beginning of 39 years in full-time church and marketplace ministry for me.

Ever since I’ve been in ministry since 1985, I served in the church and business arenas in various functions.  In 2011 Casting Nets was birthed after God downloaded the blueprint, which eventually only took shape and manifested in 2018 when I registered a company as a Kingdom business.  During this time various programs were developed and books written for church and marketplace ministry.

In the beginning of 2023 God changed structures and a new wineskin emerged, in the form of Casting Kingdom Marketplace Ministry as a full-time ministry.

My Vision is to establish Kingdom Businesses connected to Kingdom Networks in the Marketplace, with Five-fold Ministry Leaders (God’s Sons & Daughters) embracing their Heavenly Calling & Mandate, stepping into their Authority to Advance God’s Kingdom in the earth.

My Mission is to raise Kingdom Entrepreneurs and Five-fold Ministry Leaders, activating, equipping and elevating them to build Businesses, Ministries, Churches and Movements according to the Kingdom Foundation Blueprint, through various Kingdom Programs & Services, Books & Resources and Kingdom Associations that will Impact the Earth.

I have a passion for seeing Kingdom Businesses established and thereby fulfilling their calling according to purpose, mandate, function, blueprint and assignments.

I mentor Kingdom leaders and help them to align with God’s Kingdom, thereby positioning them for breakthroughs into new beginnings and building businesses with a solid foundation according to God’s way of operation.

My anointing and mandate manifest to generate, activate and elevate those businesses to serve the purposes of God in the earth.  I have completed my PhD in Ministry, as well as a Doctorate in Leadership from Divinity Institute.

To date, I've written two books, The Revealed Kingdom and God’s Kingdom Stewards, which equip and empower Kingdom entrepreneurs and leaders for their journey in God’s Kingdom.

I serve the Kings of the Kingdom of God through various services from my Apostolic/Prophetic anointing utilizing mentorships, online programs, onsite programs and seminars, one-to-one consultations and various coaching and mentoring initiatives.

I'm alive to pursue and follow the purposes of God in obedience to His voice and calling, co-labouring and partnering with God in the advancement of His Kingdom on the earth for as long as He permits and according to His sovereign will.

Endorsements

Mark and I have been married now for 26 years.  In all these years I’ve known him to strive to be a true Kingdom steward.  A student at heart, wanting to learn from the Holy Spirit but a powerful teacher when he speaks.  This book is evidence of that.

It is inspiring to experience Mark’s love for God and his passion for God’s kingdom. In this book, his journey is delicately intertwined with the biblical truths. His use of many modern-day parables brings fresh understanding. I was greatly touched by the metaphor of treading in the soil of heaven and leaving some of it behind wherever you step it out. I have three sisters and I fondly remember the moment when my dad gave each one of us a copy of Miles Munroe’s book: ‘Rediscovering the Kingdom’, sharing with us the impact the book had on his spiritual journey. Now that I read Mark’s book: ‘The Revealed Kingdom’ I also plan to gather loved ones to share a copy with them, knowing that I’m putting a great summary of Kingdom understanding in their hands.  Enjoy your Kingdom treasure hunting with Mark!

In his book, The Revealed Kingdom, Dr Mark reveals, unveils and explains the powerful treasures of God’s Kingdom manifested and possessed on earth.  This book will give you the keys to the Kingdom and help you take the kingdoms of this world for Christ according to Revelation 11:15.

I am excited about this beautifully written Kingdom guidebook, as it gives us various keys and strategies to live a Kingdom life.  It also challenges us to become Kingdom establishers and to build the Kingdom of Jesus where we live and work.  I enjoyed the parts referring to Kingdom mindsets and attitudes that teach the believer a different worldview, to attract a life of miracles as well as being instrumental in letting His Kingdom come on earth as in Heaven.  What Dr Mark Loretz describes, is how to practically align ourselves with the Kingdom of God to live the life of overflow as Jesus intended.

This book carries such a timely word!  Dr Mark has a Spirit-filled and passionate way of equipping you with tools for being a Kingdom establisher right where you are.  Through The Revealed Kingdom he not only shows us that God’s Kingdom is not just a future domain, but we are also given fresh revelation and insight into manifesting a Kingdom lifestyle here on earth. Now!  The Kingdom of God is accessible to all believers, but there has to be a hunger to discover more.  This book entices you to think bigger, go deeper and walk bolder with God.  You will live to be a Kingdom seeker!  Not only will it change the way you live, but also the way you perceive the scripture "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand."

I have found sowing seed, thinking it was good ground and hoping for a return is not what the Kingdom is, but pressing in, waiting, listening and growing in my relationship with the Holy Spirit and being obedient to His prompting has revealed the reality of The Kingdom, which is within me.  Within these pages, Mark has managed to coerce the reader to delve deeper into their relationship with the Father to find the lustrous pearl, and compel you, the purchaser to sell everything to possess it.  The writings expose the gap between the child-like faith illustration Jesus used of the Kingdom of heaven belonging to children, to the reality in adulthood of what it entails and the availability as Jesus taught in His Prayer.  The challenge has been to understand again that it is in seeking first His Kingdom and His Righteousness, which reveals the ultimate Pearl of Great Worth – Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.

Dr Mark Loretz is a true ambassador of The Kingdom and a powerful relevant ‘’voice’’ that God is using to reveal the Kingdom of God, for this day and age. I have known Mark for many years and he does not only ‘’voice’’ the message of The Kingdom, but he also exhibits it in his daily life, ministry and wherever he is invited to speak or minister. I highly recommend this powerful book and advise everyone who has a desire to learn more about The Kingdom of God, to read it, study it and apply it!
