Jesus wasn’t vague when He said, “Some standing here will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
That wasn’t just a prophetic statement—it was personal.
This wasn’t about some distant heaven.
It was about a kingdom that comes crashing in—right here, right now. And for some of us, we won’t truly see that kingdom until something inside of us dies.
Not a physical death—but the death of the false self.
The death of the man shaped by shame.
The death of the one built on fear, religious guilt, performance, and hollow striving.
Because when the kingdom of God shows up, it doesn’t just inspire—it transforms.
The reason so many people feel friction is because that kingdom is trying to take root. And that kind of power?
It burns away everything that doesn’t belong.
Jesus isn’t raising “nice people.” He’s not after polite religion.
He’s raising sons and daughters, warriors, and kings and queens.
Men and women who live with fire.
Men and women who walk in boldness.
Men and women whose identities have been set ablaze by the presence of the King.
This is why the battle within you and me doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means we’re being forged.
If you feel the tension, good. (I am certainly talking to myself on this one too). That means something sacred is happening.
That means you’re not settling.
When the kingdom comes in power, it breaks what was never meant to remain. And in its place, God builds something unshakable.
