Kingdom Mindset

Living with a compass of objective morality is only the byproduct of Christianity. This is the minimum, most basic requirement of a Christian's life. When we experience His grace we cannot help but to desire to live according to His will, which is perfect objective morality. God is relentless in His love, and pushes us to perfection. This then sets the stage for humility. Not only does His grace burn our hearts to to live righteous, but also to be humble - as it is His grace that started it all. Humility should reign over all actions and thoughts, but we sometimes confuse mere repenting as humility. I'm not trying to understate the process that the heart presses through to soften and understand its illness. However, this repentance phase must be quick - as we have much more work to do. Mulling over our immoral ways has got to stop - it only allows demons to discourage us from walking towards God. We need to get up and start working for His harvest. We repent to be forgiven, but we do not repent enough to walk towards God's kingdom. As we move closer to God, our vision fades, and His eyes take over, transforming our reality. One of the biggest portion of Christianity, I believe, is living in His Kingdom mindset (God's perspective) - knowing that we were meant to live in Eden, and sharing (by producing action led by faith) the secret to do so, through Christ sacrificed. As we realize our original form - a masterpiece God created IN HIS IMAGE - we understand that God sent Jesus as a reminder of who we are.

"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. " Romans 8:29.

In this verse, we see clearly that we are not created to be merely "humans", but of God, like Christ. When we realize this authority that God gives/shows us, we no longer live by reacting to the world (fashion, culture, diseases, etc.), but we invade the system and break the powers of darkness. Instead of praying for an open heaven, why aren't we living as if it is already open for us? Hasn't Jesus already died for us to open up the gates of heaven? Do we know what this really mean? I'm convicted that we are to live as if we are back in Eden. Even though we are in our human bodies, and in a world that desperately needs restoration, we need God's revelations to lead to personal transformation - to open up and expand realms where our faith can be exercised. Just because we are living in a fallen world, it does not have to dictate our minds - the power of God leaving impressions on our minds should rid our humanistic thoughts so that we may live in His kingdom NOW. Jesus died to restore our sonship (Godliness) - as we were created in His image - so that we may have the same authority, like Christ, over the world.

"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12-14

If we are not representing Jesus, in the ways of serving and performing miracles like Him, we should feel uncomfortable. Especially, because we pray "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Replicating Jesus in every way is an obligation It is not an option. We offend God when we sit there and pray for an open heaven, when it is already opened for us. We are not guests of His kingdom! Jesus gave us keys to God's house - to open and visit God whenever we wish.

Jesus, help us to grow our faith. You've given us authority, through your blood, to work the will of our Father. We wish to continuously move towards God's perspective, so that christianity does not become living a "moral life", but to expand Your kingdom the way the Jesus, the perfect example, had done. Align us to your will and your heart God. Amen!
