Kingdom Consciousness Gertrude Keasley

One of the biggest battlefields satan is prowling around on is the battlefield of our mind. All of our thoughts, past traumas, and experiences are fair game for the enemy.  And He doesn’t fight fair. He will use family members, friends, and coworkers against you if he has to.  This is why it’s important to God that we think like him.  Because when we do, we can start to win our daily battles. And as we win our spiritual battles, we ultimately bring glory to God and His kingdom. 

Having a Kingdom mindset means it’s not about how big our church is or how many people we influence. It’s not about getting people to follow us, it’s about us following God. It’s about helping them see that they need to obey Him!

Sometimes it seems like evil is winning. God let’s things play out much longer than most of us are comfortable allowing.  But I believe God wants us to see who do we really serve? It’s time for the church to rise up and do what the church is to do, make disciples.  Discipleship, the way Jesus meant for us to do it, is often different from the way we have tried to do it. Discipleship is not primarily about information, but obedience.

 

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you." We have read that scripture over and over, however, the Kingdom distinction makes all the difference. Of course, when we seek the Kingdom, we are seeking God, but it is more specific than that– we are seeking His will on the earth. It is not about us as individuals—it is about the whole world. A Kingdom mindset is a way of seeing the world through the eyes of God and living your life in accordance with His will. It is about putting God first and seeking His glory in all that you say and do.

Imagine the power to transform atmospheres and environments from a state of chaos to a divine oasis of peace and harmony wherever you go. Well, this is
the power of God or kingdom consciousness that has been given to all those who believe in him, whether they are aware of this divine gift or not.

God’s kingdom cannot be forced upon anyone, because it is empowered and energized by love. It is futile to try to force or legislate Christian morality if hearts and minds are not open to this morality. You cannot force love - it comes in its own time, after it has been invited. The best thing we can do is grow these spiritual qualities (faith, hope, and love)
like seeds through the light and warmth of spiritual practice and personal worship. As we do so, we will see the harvest.
