For where two or three are gathered together in my name
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go
and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou
hast gained thy brother. But
if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the
mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them,
tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto
thee as an heathen man and a publican. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again
I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing
that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18: 15-20)
The Bible explains how the sovereignty and authority of the kingdom of God works. This means that if two or three people from the people of God's kingdom come together and seek the things of God's kingdom, then the power of God's kingdom is given and its power appears. The Holy Spirit that exists in each individual is the Holy Spirit of salvation, but the Holy Spirit that appears in relationships with people represents the power of the kingdom of God. Power refers to the power of authority to be judged during a trial. And let the Saints witness when they preach the gospel. The one who reminds, empowers, and bears witness when preaching the gospel is what we call the Comforter Holy Spirit. Although they are all the same Holy Spirit, we can see that the way the Holy Spirit works differently when working in the kingdom of God.

We must
understand the Holy Spirit. In Acts 19: 6-7, “And
when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they
spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve. People
say this is baptism in the Holy Spirit. But as Romans 6: 4-5 says,
『Then said Paul, John verily
baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they
should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 』 Therefore, being baptized in Jesus 'name is associated with Jesus' death.
So, we receive the Holy Spirit as a gift from God.
Then, Paul entered
the synagogue and preached the kingdom of God. But in the synagogue, a man
named Apollo (Apollo) said in the 18: 24-25 verse that he testified of Jesus to
the Jews. He knew only John's baptism. In 18:25『This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the
spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the
baptism of John. 』In the Greek text, not Jesus, but kurius. The Jews only believed in the
Old Testament Lord. So, these people did not know about Jesus' baptism. Many churches
today still know only John's baptism. Many people think of baptism as cleaning
up their sins. So it seems that they do not know the baptism they receive in
the name of Jesus. Even if they know, they think it's baptism by the Holy Spirit.
In Acts 18: 26-28『And he began to speak
boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took
him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. And when
he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the
disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had
believed through grace: For
he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures
that Jesus was Christ. 』.
The words
"expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly" are used by the
heresy. Heretics say that they solve and explain more accurately. If they
preach other than being united with Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, it is
likely heresy.
Paul went to
the synagogue for three months, preaching the kingdom of God and the Lord Jesus
Christ. Then, he went to the vow of Durano in Ephesus and preached the kingdom
of God and the Lord Jesus Christ for three years. In Mark 1:15, 『And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at
hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel』. The kingdom
of God comes to those who repent on this earth. There is no kingdom of God
except those who are united with Jesus Christ who died on the cross. God showed
the resurrection to those who are united with Jesus who died on the cross, and
those who are united with Jesus are born again. So, sitting in the right hand
of the throne of God in Christ. This cannot be understood by those who are born
again and do not wear the spirit body.
When God
returns to the earth, it is time to restore all things. In Acts 3: 20-21, 『And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,
which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world
began』. If all things are not restored, God will not
come. The role will be played by the church. Each person must become a church
and form the kingdom of God. The Saints must conquer Satan's forces in order to
achieve the kingdom of God on this earth. To conquer the power of Satan, the
Saints must repent and be united with Jesus who died on the cross. This is the
way to conquer Satan in Christ. The church is a mission, not a goal. The
mission of the church is the restoration of the kingdom of God on earth. To
this end, many Saints will suffer tribulation.
