Kingdom Consciousness

Most of our churches today are much more ignorant of kingdom-minded things. And, as a result, this is not something that the church today has helped us with. You see, the things we’ve been learning about God’s Kingdom are not things that are commonly taught in most churches. In fact, the Kingdom of God is a foreign concept to most believers today. Therefore, we are at even more of a disadvantage t...

We must think in a Christlike manner!  "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."  Protect your mind by Biblical thinking! Discern every thought (healthy or toxic).  "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 

We must continually fight against an external foe who desires to establish an operating foothold in our body and soul from which to bind us and bully us to do according to his will.  This battle cannot be fought or won by yielding or separating.  This battle is waged through direct hand to hand, face to face resisting and confrontation.

Paul tells believers that the time for sleeping is over. Now is the moment of opportunity and decision.  It is high time to “awake out of sleep,” which literally means “to get up out of bed” in the original language. In a similar admonition to the Thessalonians, Paul says, “For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep...

One of the biggest battlefields satan is prowling around on is the battlefield of our mind. All of our thoughts, past traumas, and experiences are fair game for the enemy.  And He doesn’t fight fair. He will use family members, friends, and coworkers against you if he has to.  This is why it’s important to God that we think like him.  Because when we do, we can start to win our daily battles. And...

Having a Kingdom mindset means it’s not about how big our church is or how many people we influence. It’s not about getting people to follow us, it’s about us following God. It’s about helping them see that they need to obey Him!

Sometimes it seems like evil is winning. God let’s things play out much longer than most of us are comfortable allowing.  But I believe God wants us to see who do we really serve? It’s time for the church to rise up and do what the church is to do, make disciples.  Discipleship, the way Jesus meant for us to do it, is often different from the way we have tried to do it. Discipleship is not primari...

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." We have read that scripture over and over, however, the Kingdom distinction makes all the difference. Of course, when we seek the Kingdom, we are seeking God, but it is more specific than that– we are seeking His will on the earth. It is not about us as individuals—it is about the whole world...

Imagine the power to transform atmospheres and environments from a state of chaos to a divine oasis of peace and harmony wherever you go. Well, this is the power of God or kingdom consciousness that has been given to all those who believe in him, whether they are aware of this divine gift or not.

God’s kingdom cannot be forced upon anyone, because it is empowered and energized by love. It is futile to try to force or legislate Christian morality if hearts and minds are not open to this morality. You cannot force love - it comes in its own time, after it has been invited. The best thing we can do is grow these spiritual qualities (faith, hope, and love) like seeds through the light and warm...

Your focus is often determined by your need.  Focus in our lives makes just as much difference as well. If we are busy focusing on external frivolities or personal ambitions rather than on the kingdom of God itself, we will wind up missing not only God’s kingdom but all of the other things we had hoped to attain in life too. Therefore, our focus must always be on His kingdom.

Man was created to have fellowship with God - to stay in communication with Him – to worship Him – to obey Him, etc.  So, how can we do those things if we lose our focus?  Our attention span has almost dwindled down to nothing.  Our minds are constantly jumping from one thing to another.  There is a lack of mental acuity. 

It's a challenge in the world that we live in today because there's so much coming at us: phones ringing and dings for email and dings for text messages, and just so much stuff coming at us, that it's getting more and more challenging to keep our minds on anything for any length of time. We need to really begin to pray and ask God to give us the ability to focus. We're missing thin...

The Bible calls for spiritual awakening especially for believers that are slumbering or already asleep in spiritual matters. Why should and how can such believers wake up? One clear reason for spiritual awakening is the nearness of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Believers should also note that we are children of light and of ‘the day’ and not of ‘the night’ nor of darkness. To enjoy the true l...

“ I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. ”

Whether you're a teacher, a mechanic, a parent, or a student, your life is a platform for God's Kingdom work. When you show kindness, offer help, share the gospel, or simply live with integrity and love, you are manifesting the power of God in your actions.   Think about your daily interactions and responsibilities. Every moment is an opportunity to demonstrate the values of the Kingdom. I...

Much of our understanding of the word church is correct, but does it relate to the Greek word Jesus used in Matthew 16:18 ? Christ used the word “ Ekklesia ” in the Greek. It means a gathering of citizens from their homes to a public place, an assembly of people for the purpose of deliberating, called-out ones, the sense of governance or assembly of Israelites. So, attending church does not mean t...

There has been a hollow awareness of something missing in the body of Christ. This missing link is at the very core of our walk with God. We have dealt extensively on the good news of salvation, healing, deliverance, prosperity, and all those beautiful dimensions of the Spirit, but have neglected to take a closer look at what Jesus said is “at hand.” It is the gospel of the Kingdom of God. We shou...

We often discover that we can be asleep with our eyes wide open. There is a sleep that comes to the soul without many of us ever even realizing it took place. You can go to sleep on life. In fact, there are thousand and one different ways to medicate yourself so that you go to sleep on the potential of life – you become numb to the issues of life. Here were some people in the Bible that went to sl...

Now, the mention of the words revival or awakening will make some Christians light with excitement while others will roll their eyes with suspicion. I have a desire for an awakening to come because there is an increase in God-consciousness. I seek a revival not for the glitz that often makes such efforts feel phony, but for the individual and church-wide renewal we all need.

We are definitely in need for a spiritual awakening. When that happens, lives are changed, the word spreads, no one is exempt, we hear its loud and clear trumpet blast, we recognize its urgency, we recognize its inclusivity, we see its transformative power and we see its enduring nature. So lets pray for a spiritual awakening in 2024.

For us as believers, God’s grace has brought eternity into time. Our citizenship is in heaven.  God has decisively reclaimed us and saved us for Himself. Yet there is a final phase of this reclamation that is still to come. Scripture says that we are eagerly waiting for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body (Rom 8:23b).

The presence of the Kingdom now in history (in the ‘Lamb-Lord’ program) is a mystery. This mystery is a divine purpose which has been hidden for long ages but finally has been revealed. The mystery of the Kingdom is this: before its dramatic consummation, before the destruction of Satan, before the age to come, the Kingdom of God has entered this age in spiritual power, invading the realm of darkn...

The Kingdom of God was the heart of Jesus’ teaching. Christ’s announcement of the Kingdom of God marked the end of the old era of the Law and the Prophets. Jesus stated that the ‘Good News’ of the Kingdom of God was being preached starting with John the Baptist. The term, “Kingdom of God,” in its general sense in both O.T. and N.T. means God’s reign—His divine kingly authority, especially over tho...

Would you rather have, when the enemy might attack, someone on guard-duty who is simply waiting for the enemy to show up or someone on guard-duty who is watching to see if the enemy has shown up? The difference between “WAITING” and “WATCHING” here might mean the difference between life and death! The Bible teaches us that we are to be wide awake watching for the return of Jesus, not just waiting...
