OUR LIFE.....A BATTLE BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS

3/22/2019

I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MY LIFE AS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS IN A RELATIVELY SAFE AND SIMPLISTIC PLACE, WITH A FOCUS ON GOING TO CHURCH, OCCASIONALLY READING THE BIBLE, PRAYING AT TIMES, AND FEELING GOOD ABOUT BEING SAVED. ALL GOOD THINGS. BUT AS I HAVE SHARED, GOD HAS OPENED MY EYES AND EARS AND HEART TO KNOW THAT I AM IN A DIFFERENT SEASON NOW. SHALLOW MUST NOW BECOME DEEP. SIMPLE MUST NOW BECOME INTENTIONAL AND MORE MEANINGFUL. LISTENING AND LEARNING MUST BECOME ACTION AND SHARING. TIME TO GROW UP IN MY FAITH AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD !

THE KINGDOM OF GOD…..HERE I AM, BACK TO THE BEGINNING AGAIN. ACTUALLY, BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF US AGAIN. THE GARDEN. THAT PLACE THAT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE UNTIL YOU FIND A HUNGER TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THERE. IT WAS THE PLACE THAT WE FELL OUT OF OUR INTENDED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. IT WAS THE PIVOTAL MOMENT IN TIME WHEN THE BATTLE BETWEEN TWO KINGDOMS TRULY STARTED.

GOD HAD CREATED US TO BE IN A PLACE OF AMAZING BEAUTY, TO LIVE AND HAVE PURPOSE AND HAVE ALL WE WANTED. HIS KINGDOM WAS OUR KINGDOM. BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER KINGDOM THAT WANTED US TOO. I CALL IT THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. LUCIFER, THE ANGEL OF FALSE LIGHT, WHO HAD FALLEN FROM THE GRACE OF GOD, TO NEVER BE ABLE TO RETURN…..WHAT BETTER VENGEANCE THAN TO DESECRATE THE PERFECT PLACE THAT GOD HAD CREATED AND LURE HIS BELOVED MANKIND TO LEAVE HIS EMBRACE AND WANT TO BECOME GODS OURSELVES. WOULDN’T THAT MAKE IT EASIER TO KNOW GOD AND COMMUNICATE AND UNDERSTAND HIM BETTER IF WE WERE ON HIS LEVEL ? GO AHEAD, TAKE FROM THE TREE, AND BECOME LIKE GOD…..AND THE SERPENT SPOKE THESE WORDS…

“NO! YOU WILL NOT DIE”, THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN. “IN FACT, GOD KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU EAT IT YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED AND YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL” Genesis 3:4-5

THE PROMISE OF BEING A GOD, OURSELVES. ILLUMINATED, AND DESTINED TO BE ETERNAL…..JUST WORSHIP ME AND EVERYTHING WILL BE YOURS…..YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN KINGDOM, BECAUSE YOU HAVE MY KINGDOM BEHIND YOU. RULE YOUR OWN LIFE. SIT ON YOUR OWN THRONE. BE YOUR OWN GOD. ASCEND AND SIT WHERE YOU RIGHTFULLY BELONG. SIT AMONG THE GODS.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW THAT BATTLE IS GOING ON TODAY ? DO YOU SEE THE FIGHT FOR CONTROL OVER WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. HOW THERE IS A FORCE OF DARKNESS THAT SEEKS TO BELITTLE AND CHANGE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. TO CHANGE THE TRUE LAWS OF NATURE INTO WHATEVER THEY WANT THEM TO BE. TELLING YOU HOW LOVING AND INCLUSIVE THEY ARE, AND ONLY DESIRING LOVE FOR ALL WHILE TRYING TO DESTROY ANY AND ALL WHO WOULD DARE TO DISAGREE WITH THEIR ILLUMINATED VISION AND WISDOM. WHO DO THEY REMIND YOU OF ? IT’S ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE AN EXTENSION OF THE VERY KINGDOM OF EVIL AND DARKNESS THAT CREPT INTO GOD’S GARDEN OF PARADISE TO DECEIVE US. SADLY, THAT IS JUST WHAT THEY ARE. THEY FIGHT FOR DARKNESS, NOT LIGHT. THEY SEEK TO CHANGE THEIR VERY FORM AND BECOME ETERNAL, EVEN IF IT MEANS GENETIC ALTERATION OR BECOMING PART MACHINE. DOES IT SOUND CRAZY? GUESS WHAT….IT IS HAPPENING ALLOVER THE EARTH IN LABORATORIES AND SCIENTIFIC PROJECTS….

THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO WAKE UP ! WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A BATTLE GOING ON, AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE AN OSTRICH IS THE BEST POSITION TO TAKE IN YOUR LIFE, TRUST ME YOU WON’T SOME DAY SOON. IT IS TIME TO BE BOLD AND TAKE A STAND FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD !!! WE HAVE A LOVING AND RIGHTEOUS GOD WHO WANTS US TO GROW UP, AND START MOVING INTO DEEPER WATER. WE NEED TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER AND TRULY EMBRACE GOD AND HIS KINGDOM. WE NEED TO GET TO KNOW HIM AND HIS WORD, AND MEET WITH OTHER BELIEVERS, AND FELLOWSHIP AND SHARE. WE NEED TO PRAY EARNESTLY AND SPECIFICALLY FOR EVERYTHING OUR HEART TELLS US IS IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO SHARE HOW GREAT OUR GOD IS, AND SHARE HIS SON. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ARGUING WITH PEOPLE, OR MEETING HATRED WITH HATRED. WHAT I HAVE INTEREST IN IS HELPING PEOPLE SEE GOD, AND SEE HIS KINGDOM. IT DOESN’T MEAN I WON’T BATTLE, AND IT DOESN’T MEAN I WON’T TAKE A STAND ON BAD BEHAVIOR. I WILL EVERY TIME. WHAT IT DOES MEAN IS THAT I AM A WARRIOR FOR GOD. I WANT TO SHARE THE STORY OF REDEMPTION AND GLORY IN MY SAVIOR JESUS AND THE GRACE OF BEING CLEANSED IN HIS BLOOD, CLOTHED IN HIS PURITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO I CAN GO OUT AND WIN HEARTS WITH TRUTH AND STRENGTH AND LOVE. THAT I MIGHT BRING JUST ONE MORE PERSON TO KNOW JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD AND KING.

IT’S TIME TO PICK YOUR KINGDOM. I IMPLORE YOU TO GET IN THE BATTLE. I IMPLORE YOU TO GO DEEPER. SEEK HIM, EMBRACE HIM, AND STRIVE TO SEE WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BECOME. THEN SHARPEN YOUR SWORD AND PREPARE TO DO BATTLE. THE TIME IS NOW….. HE IS CALLING YOU.

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES. Ephesians 6;11

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY SHIELD; MY HEART TRUSTS IN HIM, AND I AM HELPED; THEREFORE MY HEART EXULTS, AND WITH SONG I SHALL THANK HIM Psalms 28:7

STAND STRONG IN THE LORD ! BE BLESSED JA
