Kingdom Consciousness

The experience of Kingdom consciousness is essential to rightly living it.  It can't be counterfeited.  We may be sanctimonious in our outward life and in our looks, in our words and tones, etc., but after all there will be something unnatural.  If Christianity is truly in the heart, it will be lived, looked, acted, spoken, made manifest in the very tones of the voice, in honoring G...

The peaceful state of mind is like a calm, deep flow of a river.  We are conscious, our minds are not lying dormant, but everything seems to be flowing in one direction.  There is no conflicting of different currents where some flow in one direction and some in another.  There are no counter currents or obstructions forcing their way upwards and conflicting with the general stream o...

Romans 14:17 says, "The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."  Each of these elements is so important and necessary for the Kingdom Citizen.  We will explore each one and learn what it means to and for the individual Christian.

God's economy is built on knowledge - not money.  He is trying to take away the stress caused by earth's economic system, so He tells us it's better to give than to receive.  The natural man can't understand how giving will make him prosperous; but the spiritual man understands that when you open your hand to release something, that hand is also open so it can receive.

I believe the term "Eternity Conscious" is an excellent descriptive term for some of Paul's writings in 2nd Corinthians.  Eternity consciousness is the most powerful power of the work of the cross.  It simply means that you are conscious of your place in eternity - where will your soul be.  Every day you're getting older on earth, you are getting younger towards eternity.

In Philippians 4:1-7, Paul lays out clear instructions on how to live in the Kingdom of God.  He begins with commanding us to stand firm in the Lord.  He encourages us to work through our difficulties and to rejoice in the Lord in the midst of our difficulties.  He even speaks to us about being gentle and he tells us to pray instead of worrying.  All of these will help us maneu...

God made it explicit that His intention for us from the beginning was for us to become His image-bearers - people who reflect His image to the rest of the world.  He defined our destiny and placed it inside of us.  His intention for us was that we discover our destiny before we built our lives.  We need destiny to help keep us focused and help prevent us from being sidetracked.

There are times in this journey when we must make the decision to leave behind our old mindsets and ways of thinking and move forward with something new.  We cannot continue to live parts of our lives in foreign kingdoms - ruled by addiction, depression and negative self-image.  Sometimes we need a revolution which is about dying to the old and resurrecting something new.  We must s...

God had a great design for each of us personally and corporately.  However, many Christians have never taken the time to seek God to learn of His plan or design for them, either personally or corporately.  The moment we were born again, we not only walked into a relationship with Christ as our Savior, but we became called to identify with Him as our Lord.  We are to build our lives...

God designed man to live from a place of dominion.  Therefore, we must discover the purpose for each part of our construction so that we can fulfill God's strategy for our lives and live in Kingdom Consciousness.  God always intended for man to elect to live in relationship with Him, and from this comes blessings.  Because man was given this position, he was given the prerogative of...

What did Paul mean when he said let this mind be in you that was also in Jesus Christ?  How do we put on the mind of Christ?  How do we see through His eyes?  He talked repeatedly about the Kingdom of Heaven.  He talked about Oneness:  I am in God, God is in you, you are in God, we are in each other ...  I am the vine; you are the branches.  Abide in me as I in y...

People often miss the presence of God.  It happened all through the Bible.  The Kingdom of God comes in simple, quiet ways.  The people of Bible days were expecting some great cataclysmic event where God would break through in the world.  But Jesus told them the Kingdom was within them.  It was also around them, but they couldn't see it,  We think of God parting skies...

As Believers, we must learn to become more Spirit conscious.  We must be lead by the Spirit in order for God to enlighten us.  The Word says that man is made in the likeness of God, who is a Spirit.  Therefore, man must of necessity be a Spirit.  So it's important to know this part of man because even when the body dies, the Spirit lives on.

The Kingdom of God is the realm where God reigns supreme, and Jesus Christ is King. God's authority is recognized and His will is obeyed.  Sometimes the Bible refers to the Kingdom of God as a present reality and other times a future realm or territory.  The Kingdom of God is something that Jesus said is at hand.  It's something you can belong to; it's within you; the unrighteous wi...

We have been sharing with you Kingdom Consciousness for over a year now.  But what do you really understand about the Kingdom?  If someone asked you the question:  Exactly what is the Kingdom of God, how would you respond?  In this episode, we hope to provide you with information that will enable you to give an answer in the event you are approached about the Kingdom.

According to Jesus, it's impossible for Christians to properly understand the practical nature of the Christian life without properly understanding the nature of their citizenship in God's Kingdom.  To belong to the Kingdom of God is to belong to the people among which the reign of God has already begun.  The Kingdom of God is defined as where God's appointed King (Jesus) is presently re...

In the natural world, "culture" is the behavior patterns that govern life in a given society.  But it's important to know the principles that govern life in the Kingdom of God because you must live by Kingdom principles to maintain residency in the Kingdom of God.  While repentance is the only requirement for entrance into the Kingdom, there are definite requirements to maintain residenc...

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a secret society but its keys must be learned. A secret is anything you don't know, especially if someone else does.  What we call miracles are simply Kingdom keys being applied properly.

Because the earth is lifeless, it is easy to sow a seed into it. However, it is not easy for the Lord Jesus to sow Himself into us because we are not simple.  The book of Matthew portrays the Lord Jesus as the wonderful One who has come to sow Himself as the seed of life into us. After the sowing of the seed, there is growth, transformation, and building. The building is the building of the c...

The Kingdom has come! Now the Kingdom is growing and is coming through this growth process. We all have the seed (Jesus), and we all are in the growing process. One day we will be in the harvest. We have the Lord Jesus, the wonderful seed.  Because the earth is lifeless, it is easy to sow a seed into it. However, it is not easy for the Lord Jesus to sow Himself into us because we are not simp...

Obedience is connected to provision in the Kingdom.  There is no shortages in God's Kingdom, but boundless amounts of everything.  The King owns everything and, therefore, He can give to anyone at anytime in any amount.  He makes sure we have everything we need to carry out our assignment.

Many people in our society are tired, worn-out, looking older than they really are, distracted, depressed, etc., because they are obsessed with things.  They are constantly trying to keep up with the "Joneses."  The pursuit of things could be detrimental to your health.  That is not what Jesus meant when He said "...all these things will be added ..."  The Kingdom is not a tool...

You create your lifestyle by the choices you make.  Many times we seek fulfillment elsewhere and then are surprised when we don't experience all the joy and fulfillment of God's Kingdom lifestyle.  You must be in line with God's purpose for your life.  You must be willing to submit to His Word.  When we talk about embracing a Kingdom lifestyle, read the story of Daniel.  D...
