WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLED LIFE

1/21/2019

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM PRINCIPLED LIFE! I HAVE ENTERED INTO A SEASON IN MY LIFE THAT HAS PUT ME ON A PATH OF SHARING THE INCREDIBLE JOY AND SATISFACTION OF KNOWING GOD IN A MUCH DEEPER WAY. MY LIFE HAS BEEN BLESSED IN SO MANY WAYS, THE GREATEST OF WHICH IS KNOWING JESUS AS MY SAVIOR, LORD, AND KING. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE GIFT TO RECEIVE SALVATION, AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THE GIFT OF HIS SON, AND THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MY LIFE EACH AND EVERY DAY TO GUIDE ME IN MY PATH AND PURPOSE.

A FEW YEARS AGO I BEGAN TO FIND A RESTLESSNESS AND THIRST IN MY LIFE THAT I ASSUMED WAS A NEED TO START A NEW BUSINESS OR CAREER THAT WOULD CHALLENGE ME, AND ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO “SUCCEED” AS WE SO OFTEN DEFINE IT IN WORLDLY TERMS…..BOY WAS I MISTAKEN. I KEPT LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES AND DIFFERENT IDEAS AND NOTHING SEEMED TO CLICK. THEN I DECIDED TO DO WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE….ASK GOD !!!

I BEGAN TO PRAY FOR DIRECTION AND PURPOSE AND THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO NEW BUSINESS, AND THERE WAS NO NEW CAREER. THERE WAS A STRONG QUIET VOICE IN MY HEAD AND MY HEART THAT MADE THINGS TRULY CLEAR FOR ME. “I AM YOUR PURPOSE JIM”. “SPEND YOUR TIME GETTING TO KNOW ME, AND SERVE ME, AND SEEK ME, AND SHOW OTHER PEOPLE MY KINGDOM AND MY PURPOSE FOR THEIR LIVES”. “YOU KNOW ME AS A SAVIOR, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW ME AS YOUR LORD AND KING”. “I WANT ALL OF YOU, AND I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR TIME, YOUR IMPERFECTION, YOUR STRENGTH, AND YOUR HEART”. “ARE YOU ALL IN” ??? AND I SAID YES :)

SO THIS IS MY PURPOSE, AND MY JOURNEY. TO SHARE THE INCREDIBLE THINGS THAT I AM LEARNING IN MY JOURNEY THAT WILL HOPEFULLY SET YOU ON A PATH OF MEETING JESUS FOR THE FIRST TIME, OR CONTINUING TO GROW AS A CHRISTIAN INTO WHO JESUS WANTS YOU TO BECOME. MY PRAYER IS SIMPLE : “MAY GOD DIRECT ALL I SHARE, AND BRING MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD, AND ENTER INTO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM” :)

HE IS SEEKING YOU AND KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR. WILL YOU ANSWER AND LET HIM IN?

BE BLESSED, AND PEACE BE IN AND WITH YOU ! JA
