KINGDOM DEFINITIONS

A constant awareness of Jesus, who is King, and His Kingdom that encompasses all things. An awareness of the spirit realm that is in operation and the spiritual authority we have in it through Jesus Christ.

It is the acknowledgement that Jesus has all power and authority in Heaven and in the Earth and as His ambassadors we have been given that power and authority to influence, impact, and affect the natural and spiritual realm for the advancement and the establishment of His Kingdom throughout the Earth!

4. Actively engage in the matter.

1.  Acknowledge and accept that the Kingdom of God exists. That His Kingdom is not the Church and that the Church is not His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is everywhere, and the Church is in His Kingdom.

2.  Acknowledge and accept that Jesus Christ is The Door by which we enter into the Kingdom of God and that it was never the intention of The Father that we stop at The Door, but rather that through His Son we would be saved and enter into the fullness of that redemptive work which includes His Kingdom.

3.  Acknowledge and accept that your salvation through Jesus Christ (The Door) while complete, was just the beginning and that The Father has a great purpose and destiny for you to walk in that will only be realized as you embrace and walk further into the revelation and reality of His Kingdom.

4.  Acknowledge and accept that The Kingdom of God is greater than your church, your denomination, your organization, your theology, your traditions, your customs, your culture, your ethnicity, your country and will only be manifested through those who embrace the reality that His Kingdom transcends everything and everyone. Live in this reality!

5.  Acknowledge and accept that God has purposed to manifest His Kingdom in the most unlikely places through the most unlikely people, in the most unlikely and unconventional ways. His Kingdom by its very nature shakes foundations, topples governments, shifts paradigms and transforms culture.

6.  Acknowledge and accept that what you know is not all there is to know and that in order to experience the greater manifestation of His Kingdom, you may need to repent (change) and ask The Father to give you the grace to make whatever changes necessary (thoughts, attitude, perspective, disciplines) to move into the greater reality of His Kingdom.

7.  Acknowledge and accept the invitation of The Holy Spirit to move out of your comfortable place (comfort zone) and be willing to step out in faith into what appears to be the unknown. Be willing to take a risk and trust that The Father, Who sees all and knows all has already prepared the next place for you in His Kingdom.
