ZIONWORKS NEWS for JUNE 13th, 2025

 ZIONWORKS NEWS for JUNE 13th, 2025 

                                        EMERGENCY MEETING 
    THIS IS A UNIVERSAL INVITATION TO GATHER, DISCUSS AND PRAY 
 
   The Israeli bombing of Iran’s nuclear and missile sites has suddenly ushered in the dreaded likelihood of ugly and devastating world war. With terrorist cells in the United States trained and ready for the go-ahead to attack our power grid network, our infrastructure and key governmental functions; commerce, power, water, communication, transportation and food distribution may be disrupted, to say the least. This and other terrorist influences operating within our country have demonstrated their ability to misinform and brainwash a very large percentage of our populace. It has been Christ’s instructions to “us” to be prepared in advance for these disasters by living independent from Babylon in a self-sufficient society called Zion, The Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven, a place of safety and refuge. 
    Our troubles are complex and far-ranging. Iran has been warning that if these strikes occur, they would attack U.S. embassies, installations and populations around the globe. Iran has been chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to the United States” for decades. Israel has learned to take these threats seriously. We have been slow to take them seriously. Serious terrorist attacks have been taking place in Los Angeles, New York and other cities for the last few days, with other cities likely to get attacked by this rage of hatred. If this is a coordinated system of attacks, then the safety and functionality of many population centers and regions are already at risk. Israel’s preventative actions on Iran may trigger the go-ahead signal for larger coordinated attacks. Looking back, these types of planned and choreographed attacks have been going on for decades. 
   The leadership of the United States has stated that all U.S. citizens will be protected from Iran’s attempts to harm them. When Iran makes good on their threats, the U.S. will be inescapably involved and so will Iran’s allies. This Big Trouble seems unavoidable at this point. In fact, with news travelling slowly, sporadically and mixed with mis-information, who knows what has happened in the last few hours, already? 
   We need each other (all who Jesus would call Christians) and we need Jesus. Jesus needs all who will honor and obey him, those will hear his voice and act upon it. 
                                              RECONSIDERATION                                             
   We had considered not having a Zionworks meeting on Fathers Day, this coming Sunday, so people could enjoy the afternoon with family. If you have plans and the desire to spend the afternoon and evening with family, do so. But because of dire and dangerous world events, Zionworks’ meeting room will be open for all of the community who would like to discuss the world situation, pray about it, and fellowship under Christ’s love, guidance and protection. Please tell others and share this newsletter. 
 
                                   ---------------------------------------------------- 
                                                         
                                                        NEWS 
At our last meeting, it was determined that we would enjoy Zion and Christ among us for the entire meeting. We did. Discussions and deliberations were in love and attended by the Spirit. Because of that, communications were open and potential for misunderstandings were displaced by clear and candid expressions and exchanges of ideas and information. This situation lasted until after five o’clock. One individual told of his message from the Lord that He is watching us and that we must continue in our efforts to bring about Kingdom living. So reinforcing. To meet and live by and for the Kingdom is our uncompromising purpose. 
                                                     
 
                                                     CALENDAR 
Next Zionworks meeting: This coming Sunday, June 15th at 2:00 PM at Central Branch, 919 S. Delaware, Independence. All Christians and all people desiring to know more about and/or live for Christ’s Kingdom are very welcome. We will do our best to experience the Kingdom as we meet. Presently, the plan is to focus in discussion and prayer on the world disasters and Christ’s solutions. See above paragraph titled “Reconsideration”.

LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD JUNE 12, 2025

 

LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD JUNE 12, 2025

 

Precious Blessings to all God’s children around the world,

 

Happy Father’s Day to all the sons of God,

 

In Genesis 3:3 we have the words of God in reference to His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ,

But behold my beloved Son, which was my beloved and chosen from the beginning, said unto me; Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.”

 

There was never a time when Jesus did not do that which was God’s will. In Genesis 8:1-2

1 And Noah and his sons hearkened unto the Lord and gave heed; and they were called the sons of God. 2 And when these men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, the sons of men saw that their daughters were fair; and they took them wives even as they chose.

 

In Genesis 7:40 We have this statement from God, the Father, “And in the garden of Eden gave I unto man his agency; and unto thy brethren have I said, and also gave commandment, that they should love one another and that they should choose me their Father.

 

So, when did Father’s Day begin? When God gave us the agency to choose with the intent that we would choose Him as our Father. Notice the difference between the sons of God and the sons of men in the Genesis 8:1-2 scripture above. We do not have a choice in regard to our earthly fathers, but we do in reference to our Heavenly Father. Our earthly fathers are partly responsible for our physical, birth, but through His great love and sacrifice, Our Heavenly Father gives us the opportunity to choose Him as our Spiritual Father when we make a covenant with Him and do the very best we can to obey His laws and commandments.

 

It seems from the above scriptures that when we hearken and heed God’s commandments we are his “Sons and daughters,” but when we go our own way doing our own will we are “The sons and daughters of men.”

 

First John 2 Inspired Version 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. But if any man sin and repent, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him--if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments is a liar; and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

 

These few verses say a great deal regarding our “Living in the Kingdom of God.” Propitiation is the act of gaining or regaining the favor or goodwill of someone.” Thus Jesus came so we might have “New life in Him” and be able to come back into the presence of God. The Apostle John reminds us many times in I John1-5 that the responsibility of regaining that favor or goodwill of God is now up to each of us. Our response to God’s great gift is reflected in how we live each day. If we live, as best we can, in obedience to God’s commandments, and do it because we truly love Him, we are living in the Kingdom. Otherwise, we are living outside His Kingdom.

 

On this Father’s Day, as well as Mother’s Day, Children’s Day, birthdays or any other special days, gifts will be given for a variety of reasons. Perhaps, and hopefully, these gift are given out of a deep and sincere love for the receiver. However, many times we give gifts out of obligation, pressure, because it’s the thing to do or whatever. Our calling and response to God’s love is to Love Him with all our heart, might, mind and strength. May we who would claim to be a son or daughter of God, demonstrate His type of love so that His Kingdom might soon be on earth as it is in Heaven.

 

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME,

FOR THINE

IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY,

FOREVER AND EVER.

AMEN

 

God bless

Paul Gage
