Passivity is a disease crippling much of the Body of Christ today. A great many believers are sitting back, passively waiting for God to move on their behalf without realizing they are receiving God's grace in vain. Jesus strongly condemned passivity. At the same time, He often praised those who boldly took the Kingdom of God by force. This idea of taking the Kingdom of God by force is a radically different mindset than many believers have today. But we see that passionate determination to receive a miracle from Jesus repeated throughout the gospel accounts. We do well to learn from those examples in the gospels. It is time for believers to unlock grace power by recognizing that the righteous are bold as a lion, stepping up, and taking the Kingdom of God by force.
