I salute you for your boldness and passion to teach with clarity the message that Jesus Christ preached, taught, and demonstrated. Acknowledgments Of the three projects I have worked on thus far, this one has taken the longest to write. There are concepts in this book that will change all of us if followed carefully. Since 1975, God has been forging a Kingdom understanding in me. This book is the result of some of those endeavors. I have tried to harness a number of relevant experi- ences in order to speak a seasoned word to the current generation. It is with a prophetic mandate upon my life that I entrust these treas- ures to you. To the Holy Spirit, my Teacher, who has carefully guided and instructed me in Kingdom understanding. To Dr. Daniel Williams and the Present Truth Ministries family. May your prophetic encouragement and support be doubly rewarded. A big thank you to Lisa Ott, and the editorial staff, who made very meaningful editorial suggestions in order for this project to become the product it is. Endorsements There is not a more vital subject to the understanding of the seri- ous believer than that of the Kingdom of God. Stephen Everett, with eloquence and clarity, has taken what is often taught as “spooky” and “spiritual” and has made it both relevant and revelatory. From his opening statements in Chapter one that makes “The Case for Man Being Special” to the final chapter on “Death to Disenfranchisement”, Everett historically and scripturally explains with definition the cur- rent and future operation of the Kingdom of God, and thereby exposes the reader to an alternate society. It is my honor to recom- mend this book to every student of the purposes of God. I know your life and vision will be expanded. Bishop David R. Huskins Cedar Lake Christian Center Fellowship of Vineyard Harvester Churches Cedartown, Georgia I consider Dr. Stephen Everett to be an exceptional prophet/ apostle, author and friend. I have known Stephen and his wife and children since 1992. This is significant because I believe a person imparts who they are, not just what they write and preach. It has been my experience since knowing the Everetts that they walk the walk that they talk. Dr. Everett has exceptional prophetic revelation and insight into apostolic reformation and kingdom authority. He has the ability to skillfully reduce difficult information so the ordi- nary folks can comprehend extraordinary truth. This new book has a steady rhythm that makes me think of the heartbeat of our Lord. It is lucid yet challenging to traditional reli- gious concepts. Please open your spirit and your mind to the biblical truth Dr. Everett carefully develops line upon line and precept upon precept. I hear a clarion call on every page urging the church to grow up, embrace change and the Kingdom of God as a gallant new world. Dr. Clarice Fluitt CoPastor & CoFounder of Eagle’s Nest World Prayer Center Founder & President of Christian Evangelistic Outreach & Lighthouse Mentoring School God’s Kingdom addresses the most important message of the Bible and provides a unique perspective of the value of man and God’s great purpose and plan for him in His Kingdom. I believe this work by Stephen will inspire many to seek first the Kingdom again. Dr. Myles Munroe Bahamas Faith Ministries Apostle Steve Everett’s new book God’s Kingdom captures the importance of one of the most significant subjects in the Bible. In his writings, Apostle Everett takes you on a journey back to God’s origi- nal intent for mankind. He offers revelatory insights, concepts and strategies for Kingdom impact in our society. I highly recommend this book as an invaluable resource for leaders, churches, and all those who have a relentless passion to see God’s Kingdom at work in the world today. Bishop Levy H. Knox Living Word Christian Center Mobile, Alabama
