I realized after I started this "Kingdom" journey that laying aside my previous religious mind-set opened up the "Kingdom of God" to me in the same way we look at the peoples of all nationalities upon this earth. Thus the kingdom becomes just another group to examine. You are invited to come along with me as we explore the "Kingdom of God" as we would any other kingdom. Come tour the Kingdom of Jesus Christ with me.

What are the people and the society like in God's kingdom, not after death but right here and now? What are their social values, norms, customs, mores, and life-style?

What are this Kingdom's - Core Values - Mission Statement - Basic Customs - Principles - Life Attitudes - Culture Values - Basic Life-Style. Let's look at the New Testament in Kingdom terms rather than in religious terms.

When Jesus finished describing the Attitudes of the Kingdom of God in His sermon on the mount; the people were astonished at what he said. Why? Because his teaching was so unlike what they had been exposed to from their religious leaders. Jesus spoke as one who had authority. Mat 7:28-29

Jesus described a completely different kind of Kingdom than the one his listeners were accustomed to. What is this Kingdom of God / of Heaven like..?? He said.

Mt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn:
Mt 5:5 Blessed are the meek:
Mt 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
Mt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful:
Mt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers:
Mt 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

"Theirs is" - means they experience this Kingdom of Heaven on this earth while alive, when they are poor in spirit, when they mourn, when they are meek, when they hunger & thirst, when they are merciful, when they their heart is pure(1 thing), when they are peacemakers, and when they are persecuted.

Kingdom people are "Blessed" - Supremely blest, fortunate, well off when they exhibit:
-"a Poor - a Poverty of Spirit" - always with a sense of Need
-"a Mourning Spirit" - whose Spirit mourns, sorrows, and grieves
-"a Meek Spirit" - a humble, gentle, and meekness
-"a Hungering & Thirsty Spirit" - whose Spirit craves, famishes with hunger & thirst for a right relationship & righteousness with God
-"a Merciful Spirit" - whose Spirit shows mercy & compassion
-"a Pure in Heart / Spirit" - are they whose heart is pure, consumed with only one thing; for God
-"a Peacemaking Spirit they whose Spirit is peaceable, make peace
-"Persecuted Spirit" - which is persecuted, pursued, followed after, pressed forward

These "character traits" prevail in the daily lives of those who live in Jesus' Kingdom. Yes, this Kingdom of God / Heaven is Different.

Jesus says for us to take notice of what he says - "WHAT I SAY". I'm not Destroying (demolish) the law (principles), the prophets (the speaking of); I am fulfilling (fill it up, complete, finish, accomplish ..Mat 5:17-20 You are..Salt & Light in this Earth (Mat 5:13-16) There is a Righteousness that must exceed the Pharisees. (In a sense Jesus was ending, finishing, filling up, completing one thing, the OT. and beginning another; the NT. He is the last of one race and the first of another race upon earth. 1Co 15

Jesus emphasizes for his listeners to listen to what he has to say, "what I say" which will be slightly different than what they heard from their past.

It has been said, "Thou Shall Not Kill". BUT I SAY, (Mat 5:21-26) Now, it's being angry with your brother without a cause.. Reconcile with your brother before you offer at the altar..

It has been said.."Shall Not Commit Adultery", BUT I SAY..(Mat 5:27-30) Now,.. it's looking and lusting upon a woman, ..Pluck out that offending part.

It has been said, "Give Divorcement Papers, "BUT I SAY...(Mat 5:31-32) Now,..Except for fornication,causes her to committ adultery & whom she marries

It has been said, "Swear only unto God"..BUT I SAY, (Mat 5:33-37) Now,..Swear not even by heaven or by earth, can't do things by swearing

It has been said, "Eye for an Eye "..BUT I SAY, (Mat 5:38-42) Now,..It's don't resist evil, give, turn cheek, go the extra mile,

It has been said, .."Love Neighbor-Hate Enemy", ..BUT I SAY, .. (Mat 5:43-47) Now, ..love your enemies, bless them that curse you & persecute you. Be As Your Father in Heaven. He Gives "Sunlight" to both Good/Evil & "Rain" to the Just/Unjust ..Mat 5:48 That you may be called the children (sons) your Father in heaven

A change has come, ..Men press into this kingdom by force.. The law & the prophets were until John, since that time the kingdom of heaven is preached and men press into it and the violent take it by force! There's no greater prophet than John, but the least in the Kingdom is greater than he! Mat 11:11-12

Concerning : "Alms Giving" - I SAY (Mat 6:1-4) Now Give in secret - Your Father sees and rewards you openly.

Concerning : "Prayer" - I SAY - (Mat 6:5-13) When you Pray - be not showy as the hypocrites When you Pray - Pray in secret - Your Father sees & rewards you openly When you Pray - don't use repetitions - PRAY LIKE THIS, ie Pray like I say. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven, Give us daily bread, Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others, Lead us not into temptation, Deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory forever.

.

Concerning: "Forgiveness", I SAY (Mat 6:14-15) Your heavenly Father forgives you according as you forgive others

Concerning: "Fasting" (don't be as hypocrites) I SAY, (Mat 6:16-18) Now, Fast in secret, Your Father sees & rewards you openly.

Concerning: "Laying Up Treasures", I SAY (Mat 6:19-23) Lay up treasures in heavenly places, not here where men can steal or it rots or corrupts..if your eye is single, your full of light, otherwise darkness.

Concerning: "Serving God & Mammon "riches", I SAY Two Masters is Impossible Take "no thought"(5x) (don't be anxious), ..better than the birds & grass, 6:25-31 Your heavenly Father knows you need all these things, 6:32

Concerning: "Seeking 1st the Kingdom"..(I SAY) & all these things shall be added (Mat 6:24-34)

Concerning: "Judging" (decision, sentencing, try, condemn, punish). I SAY Judge not, you will be judged just as you judge others. (Mat 7:1-6 ) It gets measured to you just as you measure it to others.

Concerning: "Asking & Receiving"... I SAY -(Mat 7:7-12) Everyone that asks, receives, your Father gives good things to them that ask. Do to others what you would have them do to you, .. the Golden Rule.

Concerning: "the Gate: It's a Narrow Way ...I SAY - few find it" (Mat 7:13-14) It is a broad way to destruction.

Concerning: "False Prophets"... I SAY (Mat 7:15-23) You will know the false by their fruits. Not everyone that says Lord, Lord; shall enter the kingdom; just those do Father's will.

Concerning: "Hearing & Doing"... I SAY(Mat 7:24-27) A wise man will build on a rock of hearing and doing MY SAYINGS,not sand so that when the rains, winds, & floods come; his house will not fall.

The people were astonished at his teachings. It was not as the scribes; it was as one who had authority. Mat 7:28-29

In Kingdom Daily Life - It's His Testimony that's Central.
Ye shall be witnesses (TESTIMONY) unto me, ..Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Uttermost parts of the earth Acts 1:8 ...the Great Commission ...Mat, Mrk, Luke; ...As in the O.T., the "Ark of Testimony" was the center (Holy of Holies) of OT Encampment. The Testimony is still central.

In Kingdom Daily Life - It's Inner Transformation; not Self-Help
(Jesus on the mountain) does not come from effort or from within... It comes from without, by the action of another upon you. (Jesus did not transfigure/transform himself) the Father/Spirit did! Be transformed by the renewing of your mind by "yielding" to God's mind. His Mind...allowing Him to Act upon each of us. ie.. Mat 17:2, Mar 9:2.
- Rom 12:2, 2Co 3:18-transformed by renewing of your mind,
- be renewed in the spirit of your mind, Eph 4:21-23

In Kingdom Daily Life - All is Faith - According to Faith - Not of Efforts
Woman with issue of blood, Mr 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
- 2 blind men asking for sight, Mt 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. YIELDING, ..FAITH IS NORMAL for a believer

In Kingdom Daily Life - Only FAITH Sees ..the UNSEEN reality or the realness of the Kingdom of God.
Faith is the eye-sight of the heart. Thus the born again experience gives the heart-sight. Not only is FAITH the VICTORY--FAITH is the NATURE of Kingdom Existence. FAITH is a SUBSTANCE, the EVIDENCE. Faith is GROUNDED in the Invisible!

In Kingdom Daily Life - EVERY ADULT must become as a little child or they can't enter the kingdom. Mat 18:3, 19:4

In Kingdom Daily Life - Must make a Deliberate DECISION about God's Goodness and That His Mercies are End-less.
- Believe God is Good..30%, 60%, 90% or 100% of the time
- 2Chr 5:13 The song sung at the Temple Dedication Ceremony in O.T. was.."The LORD is Good & His Mercy Endures Forever", which in 21st century terms is .. God is Good All the Time!
- 2Ch 5:13,17 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

-Da 4:26 ..after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. Da 4:32 ..until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

- Believers of the O.T. were taught during their 1st 40 years to look daily for the Presence of God among them. ..a Cloud by day & a Fire by Night. One of the first things they saw every time they stepped out of their tent, was His Presence manifested clearly; .. as a pillar of cloud or fire.

In Kingdom Daily Life - "LOVE" surpasses "KNOWLEDGE" (mind knowledge)
Just as "Relationship" (LOVE) Surpasses "Intellectual Concepts", (Mental Knowledge), Natural Man Understandings & Reasonings. - Eph 3:17 ..that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you may be rooted and grounded in love. ..that you may comprehend..what is the breath, length, depth & height and to know the love of Christ...which passes knowledge (gnosis-science-natural man knowing) that you may be filled all the fulness of God.

In Kingdom Daily Life - DAILY We "SEEK the KINGDOM" First

-There is no second! or 3rd or 4th
-Religious man has a list. Christianity has a list of priorities. But not Christ!
Pursuing the Kingdom is Daily. ...Pursuing Daily Inwardly the King's Dominion. ...Pursuing Daily Inwardly HIS Reign / His Rule, ..that is divine love's driving, motivation and life's purpose. Daily! Mat 6:33 This is for those who desire the manifestation of the King's Holy Ghost Dominion within.

In Kingdom Daily Life - "Preaching the KINGDOM"
- Brings Jesus into the MIDST ..into the room, ..into the assembly.

Jesus is.., the Father is..the Desire of the Nations : Hag 2:7..people naturally, instinctively have a unique, innate craving for God. Man was built instinctively to Desire a King like Jesus.
Basically, it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance Rom 2:4 Other techniques and approaches may have effect. But when Jesus is truly revealed for who he is; ..then people run toward Him! The work of Satan is to stifle this reaction with twisted wills, with rebellion, with substitutes & etc.
Mr 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
"Speaking" is a component of Daily Life In the Kingdom of God ! What is your Heart Saying? What is your Mind Saying? Now Listen to your Mouth.. it should speak from His Word Written Upon Your heart ?
Mt 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain (ie.."a mountain" as a lunatick devil, the disciples could not cure) (or .."a mountain" such as a drying up of fig tree), Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Mt 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

- Ro 10:7-10 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? ...The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; ..That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved...For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

In Kingdom Daily Life - Continuous VIOLENCE-SWORD-WAR-Spiritual Conflict

It is war! Continuous Daily War...in the Kingdom of Heaven (on Earth)

In Kingdom Daily Life - REPENTANCE DAILY

It's reversing of a decision, a change of mind, to think differently! (Mat 3:2 John & Jesus Mat 4:17)
Changing your mind daily about what? About Jesus. Changing our thoughts into God's thoughts about Jesus! Every day we change a little more.

In Kingdom Daily Life - a DAILY RENEWING OF THE MIND
It is needed & is pivotal. And it is only a work of the Holy Spirit.
- Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. In Kingdom Daily Life - EVERYTHING WE DO is in the Kingdom

When we receive Jesus, not just on Sunday between 10 & noon! Everything we are & do becomes holy, sacred, our tools are no longer secular! The kingdom expands! We don't leave the kingdom to go to work or to play with the kids. No more is Sunday the Kingdom & Monday is back at work. All is of the kingdom. Thus we are in Jesus, Jesus is in us; therefore we are in the King's Dominion. Thus all I do is sacred; not secular. The kingdom expands to include my place of work, the factory, while shopping at the grocery store, the office, ..the kingdom is within you, ..Christ is in you, ..Jesus in You, the Holy Ghost in you.

In Kingdom Daily Life - The Kingdom of Heaven is NOT in "NATURE"

It only is in the Regenerated, only in Born Again Believers, only in Humans! The kingdom does not does not saturate the earth. It is only where Jesus is and Jesus is only within His People. Where Jesus is… there is His Peace, His Power, His Dominion, His Reigning & the only place where Heavens' Perspective Exists and reigns in life! Where Jesus is Not, ...His Dominion does not Exist, ..thus No Reigning Life outside of Christ.

In Kingdom Daily Life - "KINGDOM" & "CHURCH" are not synonyms

They are not the same. They have different meanings. The church is the "called out", and exists because there is a preaching of the Kingdom ("sovereign, royal, rule, realm") of God thru Christ Jesus. Thus, the church is the result of the Preaching the Good News of the Kingdom & Jesus Christ is alive ruling & reigning, the same today, yesterday, and forever, ..in his church body.

In Kingdom Daily Life - IT'S a "Relationship"-"Not Religion"

..I will come to you, ..I will not leave you comfortless
..I will not leave you Father-less, ..I will not leave you an Orphan
..It is RELATIONSHIP. Religion it is not.

In Kingdom Daily Life - Jesus' Ministry emphasis is As "Son of Man"

(80x "son of man") ..in 4 gospels, emphasis is not as "Son of God"
-(thus He walked in the same footing as us) as man.
-Christ Showed us How to walk as a man completely yielded to the Spirit of God, our Heavenly Father, ..it was a relationship of complete dependence upon the Spirit, upon the Father.(Phil 2:4-11)
-The son of man can do nothing of himself..Joh 5:19,30
-no supernatural power of within self ..I can nothing
-My Father works, I work..Joh 5:17
-I only speak what the Father has taught me ..Joh 8:28
-I always do what pleases him..Joh 8:29
-I came not of my own self, He sent me..8:42
-I don't seek my glory..8:50
-My doctrine is not mine..7:16
-I don't speak of myself..12:49, 14:10,24
-I can of my own self do nothing..Joh 5:30

In Kingdom Daily Life - MAN IS GOD'S WORKMANSHIP

- His Work of Art, His Poem, His Masterpiece
- Eph 2:10 for we are his workmanship,(handiwork, creation, masterpiece, master work of art)

In Kingdom Daily Life - NEW BIRTH makes us ALIVE SPIRITUALLY

- that piece of us which died in Adam lives again in fellowship and communion with our Heavenly Father, ... thus we are renewed in the Spirit, not in the soul, nor in our physical mind.

In Kingdom Daily Life-GOD Shows Up in UNSIGHTLY PLACES

- ie Jesus was Born in aManger
- He's not that picky about where he shows up or with whom
- We should be open to him when he shows up

In Kingdom Daily Life - the Genuine, True & Original Gospel

...is ...the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven

In Kingdom Daily Life - GOD Uses Men (not angels or animals)

...who love HIM to over-rule all power that resists God's will & design

In Kingdom Daily Life - GOD'S MANNER IS...

- to go beyond our preconceptions
- Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundant above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

In Kingdom Daily Life - the ENEMY'S METHODS are the SAME

"NOW" as in Eden, in this New Creation, ..just as in ..the 1st -Creation - Adam & Eve became slave-servants to the Serpent by their obedience, agreement or cooperation with the Serpent's WORDS. They chose the serpents words over and above God's WORDS. It continues to be about who we yield too...

-Rom 6:16, to whom you yield yourselves to obey, ..his servants you are to whom you obey ..Rom 6:16 -Thus, Jesus came to undo MAN'S slavery to Sin & Satan. He was tempted to accept the serpent's WORDS, but Jesus stayed with the Father's, Spirit's WORDS as presented by Jesus.. ie 40 day fast temptation.

Satan can not overpower us. He can only speak WORDS into our Mind there-by Touching our Heart & Inner Desires, and Influencing or Massaging our WILL. His device is to get us to agree with his WORD, his IDEA, his CONCEPT. It is no wonder that the apostle said to "try (test,prove) the spirits to see if they are of God or Not" 1Jo 4:1; "prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect(complete) will of God, by the transforming (renewing) of your mind. Rom 12:1

**Cooperation & Agreement with satan's thoughts, satan's ideas, satan's imaginations opens the door of our MIND, HEART & WILL to agree with his suggestions; ..thereby opening ourselves to HELL'S PERSUASION. That's how he STEALS FROM US, ..KILLS US, ..BRINGS DEATH UPON OUR SPIRIT and destroying OUR POSITION OF FAITH, as a child OF GOD. Thus, DESTROYING OUR WALK WITH CHRIST.

In Kingdom Daily Life - SATAN'S POWER HOLDS MEN CAPTIVES ..on every level.

Human Mankind are prisoners, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, & physically. Jesus came to Heal All who are Oppressed of the Devil Acts 10:38 Which is all expressed in Satan's consuming efforts to Steal, Kill, & Destroy! Joh 10:10 But God has not changed.

In Kingdom Daily Life - OUR DAILY PURPOSE is to...

Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, & subdue it. Not by persuasion, but by Allowing the Testimony of Jesus to flow out of us. This was God's 1st Expression of His Intended purpose in and for Man. He expressed this to His Old Creation in the garden. Therefore, under the NEW CREATION the parallel still holds true.. Be fruitful, multiply, ...fill the earth, and Subdue; but not by natural energy, but by the spiritual energy life force of our new inner life of the Spirit of the Life of Christ. It is the Spiritual Expression of the New 2nd Creation or Christ's Dominion is expressed by his power over all natural power. It saves souls; one at a time.

In Kingdom Daily Life - It's all about "Healing the OPPRESSED"

Sin is to the Soul as Sickness & Disease are to the Body. We are to Accept this Burden of the Lord. Accepting our Participation In the Father's Business of healing the oppressed. Accepting to Work Cooperatively, Partnering with the Son, in the Son Jesus' Purpose and Business of healing all that are oppressed of the devil.

In Kingdom Daily Life - It's Seeing What God Sees

Seeing & Perceiving with Vision of God & Christ a different point of view than the natural un-born again man sees. What do you see?? Do you see people religiously as targets for judgment. Jesus did not see that in His Purpose.

Jesus did not kill one person. He did not send one storm to destroy. He did not smite one person with disease. Nor did he send one earthquake to kill people. Do we see him as the personified grace and mercy of God to you and me?

He saw a harvest field ready for harvest.

When we see religiously; we are offended, just as the O.T. people were. They were offended by people's sin; because of their jealousy for God. Holding enmity in our hearts for evil. Beware the leaven of the Pharisees & Sadducees; ie the Religious Spirit! But God is not like that. He is merciful, & compassionate. He is good to both the good and the evil people. Even his judgments are not done out of enjoyment. Love and goodness is his motivating nature. Do I yet see as He sees?

In Kingdom Daily Life - GOD'S(Jesus') VIEW-POINT OF EARTH

He Sees a World blinded by darkness & oppression; ready for harvest Lu 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel(good news) to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

-Remember: Noah found Grace in the Eyes of The Lord...then God spoke!
-Thru Moses came Law - Thru Christ comes Grace/Favor
-Under Law - favor comes after keeping the LAW.
-Under Christ - Favor/Grace comes before Obedience ie as a child, walking with a Father. Grace is there all along the path, walking through life.
