The Kingdom is now and the world seems real!
The Kingdom is come and the world is this place!
Called to be in the world and not of the world...called to love through Kingdom channels, yet when this is practiced the feeling is of, 'not fitting in'. The result of this practice is turmoil within...turmoil between spirit and soul. Spirit of the Kingdom and Soul of the world!
Of the Kingdom or of the World?
The Kingdom vs. the World... the Kingdom is order and the World is chaos....chaos that baffles the order being strived for. How do I press into this order of the Kingdom when the chaos of this World overwhelms?
This southern gentlemen of the Kingdom claims ADD as his label because his soul screams lies to his spirit of clarity and peace. This princess of the Kingdom claims insecurity and anxiety by way of a broken spirit wrought with lies of the soul. This housewife of the Kingdom claims 'doormat' because her spirit is down trodden by the labels of broken souls. This star athlete claims rejection because his spirit is tackled by the deceit of his soul. This songwriter of the Kingdom claims 'not good enough' because he is kicked by the metal toe of the honky tonk lyrics of the soul. This precious son/daughter of the Kingdom claims worthlessness as his/her name because he/she surrendered to the demonic gall of the soul.
Of the Kingdom or of the World?
Which to claim....how to receive the gifts of the Kingdom when the lies of this world are so tangible? Yes, the Kingdom is tangible, but not obvious! The things of this World are immediate....immediately devastating, immediately hurtful, immediately deadly. Yet, we take hold of them.
The things of the Kingdom are crucial to life. Life in the Kingdom is abundant. Abundantly joyful, abundantly fulfilling, abundant in freedom, abundant in unconditional love...an abundance of the Kingdom is at hand.
One Life giving and one Life sucking!
Which to claim...how to receive the gifts of the Kingdom when the lies of this World are so tangible? At first, the lies even appear to be good.
However, 'good' is the enemy of His utmost 'best'!
Which do you choose?
Of the Kingdom or of the World?
