KINGDOM LIVING - GLORIOUS DAYS ON THE EARTH

KINGDOM LIVING - GLORIOUS DAYS ON EARTH
Dear One,
    When Jesus taught about My kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven, He clued His disciples in on the expediency with which that event would come to be.  He told His followers that some people who were alive at the time would not taste death until they saw My kingdom come with power.  (Mark 9:1)  Little did the people  realize that My kingdom would become a reality in the earth when My Holy Spirit came into the earth to make His dwelling place in the spirits of people. They certainly did not realize what was ahead for Jesus, death on the cross for the sins of the world and then His going to hell, paying the price for their sins.  They also certainly did not know that He was going to be raised from the dead by the power of My Spirit, walk the earth for 40 days and minister to people.  They did not know that He would come back to live with Me and We would send My Holy Spirit into the earth to bring My kingdom to earth as it is in heaven, in answer to the prayer that Jesus taught them to pray, (Matthew 6:10)
     Jesus had already told them that My kingdom would not come to earth with fanfare or public announcements or a gala celebration.  He said that it would come to one person who is on a housetop or one who is in the fields working, meaning that it would come to individuals, not to a nation, not a country, not to an organization and not to a chosen denomination.  Whose heart is in expectation of My kingdom coming into his or her life, seeking My kingdom first will experience My kingdom coming to live in them, bringing with My Spirit the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. (Romans 8:11)  My Holy Spirit's power brings into your life My power to defeat evil and My love with which to love people unconditionally.
    My power is necessary to defeat the works of evil in your life which Jesus said that you will certainly have occur.  And the power of My love is necessary in order to be peacemakers with all people in the earth, which is another way to defeat the works of the devil.  Without My Spirit in your life, it is impossible to overcome evil and love others as I love you.
    Jesus told the history of My dealings with people in a parable when He related it to the owner of a field who planted seeds in his field and went off for a long time, leaving the field. Later He sent a servant to the caretaker to collect the harvest.  Instead, the caretaker beat the servant and sent him away.  Then, as the story goes, the owner sent another servant who was also beaten and sent away.  Likewise, another servant had the same treatment.  So the owner sent his beloved son, thinking that the caretaker would honor his son, but instead when the caretaker saw the son he connived to kill the son and take his inheritance.  So they killed the son. 
     After relating the story to the listeners, Jesus asked them what was their opinion that the owner should do to the caretaker?  He answered His own question when He said, "Well, I guess the owner should kill the caretaker and give the land to other people." The hearers of the story said, "God forbid."
    Jesus asked them what is the meaning of the prophesy, "The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.  Whoever falls upon the stone will become broken and on whomsoever the stone falls upon will be ground to powder."
    When the priests and scribes heard that teaching, they plotted to arrest Him because they feared that He was talking about themselves. (Luke 20:9-18)
    That parable outlined My entire struggle against satan in his deception of people, how I sent laws into the earth to identify evil that was in the midst of the people.  Then I sent prophets into the earth to My children under My old covenant with Abraham and his seeds, to alert them to their straying off of the straight and narrow path.  I sent the prophets in order to help them keep evil at bay.  Instead of believing the prophets, they killed them, and so I sent My Son to teach them how to avoid evil.  They not only rejected Him and His teachings on how to defeat evil that is in the world, but they killed Him also.
    Now you know that the death of My Son bought freedom for you and My other children, giving you the ability to receive My Holy Spirit, My supernatural power to refuse the temptations of the devil and to defeat what evil had already entered into your life.  Through My Holy Spirit I also give you the power and ability to love others as I love you.
    Jesus died so that My kingdom might come to earth to live in you, giving you My supernatural power to defeat evil and to love others with the same intensity that I love you.  My Holy Spirit is the avenue through whom I send My power into the earth.  (Acts. 1:1-4)  He is My faith building, love building messenger of My Kingdom.  Honor Him just like you honor Me.
    Your Father of Love and Power 

KINGDOM LIVING - PERSISTENT PRAYING AND LOVING

Dear One,
     The teachings of Jesus in the parables are comparing daily living scenarios to the truths of My kingdom, given to encourage My children to follow My admonitions.  In response to their asking Him, He had taught them to pray an effectual prayer.  He taught them to pray that My kingdom would come on earth and that My will be done on earth just as in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)  So My will being done n the lives of My children are prerequisites to My kingdom living becoming a reality in the earth. 
    For instance, in the earliest teachings of Jesus He taught you to love your enemies and to do good to them instead of returning evil to them.  When you do what He advised you to do, your enemies become your friends, no longer your enemies, and that part of My kingdom of heaven becomes a reality in your life.  When you do what Jesus told you to do, My peace will reign in your life instead of the devil's conflict and turmoil reigning in your life.  (Matthew 5:21-26)
    Later in His teachings in a parable Jesus used an earthly situation to teach My children to be persistent in praying and not to lose heart and give up.  He used the story about a judge who was not a believer in Me who was constantly pressured by a widow for him to protect her against an adversary.  He refused for a time but became overwhelmed by her persistence and was afraid that she would drive him crazy with her demands so he relinquished and protected and avenged her.  (Luke 18:1-5)  In explanation, Jesus said that I vindicate My children who persist in praying day and night and I will not delay but I will vindicate them speedily.  Jesus knew that some of His disciples would miss Him deeply after He was crucified and He was assuring them that He would vindicate them speedily after He rose from the dead.  He wanted to caution them to be persistent in their praying and in waiting for His return.  (Luke 18:7-8)  He returned and appeared to over 500 people for 40 days after He rose from the dead and before He ascended into My heaven to live with Me. (John 20:11-16; John 21:15; Acts 1:3-6)  My children who took the advice of Jesus and waited in Jerusalem for My promised Holy Spirit are the ones who were vindicated speedily.  It is the same today for all of My children if they are persistent in praying and doing My will in the earth.  Solutions to problems will flood into their lives from Me and kingdom living while in the earth will be the result. 
     My children who are persistent in following My admonition to be baptized in My Holy Spirit are the ones who are supernaturally equipped to experience My kingdom living while in the earth because they have My power in their lives in the person of My Holy Spirit.  It is My Holy Spirit who provides the power and the love to My children that equips them to live My kingdom life while in the earth.  The problem is that My children want Me to hurry up and come back to earth to provide all of the changes in the earth that will give them kingdom living.  Yet, My children are reluctant to do My will in their lives now by following My admonitions, My insights, My wisdom and My guidance in doing the most elementary of things, loving their enemies and doing good to them. (Matthew 5:21-26)
    One of the first things Jesus spoke to My children involved being peacemakers in the earth, and He said that the people who keep peace are called My children.  (Matthew 5:9)  He said that the meek and the humble are blessed and that they will receive their inheritance while in the earth. (Matthew 5:5)  He also said that the merciful obtain mercy, yet the devil's judgment instead of My mercy is prevalent in the lives of My children.  (Matthew 5:7; Matthew 7:1-2)  He said that My children who seek to do My righteous deeds in their dealing with other people will be blessed by Me, filled with My goodness. (Matthew 5:6)
    Kingdom living is available to those of My children who seek to have My righteous thoughts and attitudes and those who do My loving deeds in the earth.  Listening to My Holy Spirit and then taking His advice is the key to having kingdom living while in the earth. You are empowered by the power and the love in the person of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you.
    If you love Me, you will follow the admonitions that Jesus spoke when He walked the earth, that you love others as I love you. (John 13:34)
     Your Loving Father
   

KINGDOM LIVING - HOW, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN

KINGDOM LIVING - HOW, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN?
Dear One,
    Some Pharisees asked Jesus when My kingdom would come to earth, expecting Him to tell them that it would come with grandeur, setting up a governmental palace with them as the honored personnel.  Jesus busted their religious bubbles when He told them that My kingdom would not come with fanfare, outward signs or visible displays which matched their elaborate temples.  He said that people would not say truthfully that it was here or there or somewhere visible.  He told them that My kingdom comes within My children and surrounds them. (Luke 17:21)
    Jesus prophesied His own return to earth after His resurrection and His appearing to people.  He told them that it would be like when Noah went into the ark, that floods came and destroyed them all, and like in the days of Lot when people went on their merry way but Lot went out of Sodom, and fire from heaven destroyed all of Sodom.  He was talking about His own death and resurrection because He was to die for the sins of the whole world, flooded with demons while on the cross and experiencing the fires of hell later when He went to hell for your sins.  He said that when He appeared again to people after His resurrection that the people on housetops must leave their belongings and anyone in fields should not turn back to the fields but must seek Him and receive the power to overcome all evil.  Jesus told them that He would appear to people after His resurrection but their eyes were blinded to His truth. (Luke 17:22-30)     
    Jesus had already told people that when He cast a demon out of someone while He was in the earth that My kingdom came upon that person. (Luke 11:20) Now He was telling them that after His resurrection that My kingdom would come inside of My children as well as surround them.  In fact, He told them later that My kingdom was with them and would be in them but it would not happen until He was crucified.  And He was speaking of My Holy Spirit coming to live in them after Jesus sent Him into the earth.  When My Spirit comes to live in you, My kingdom comes into your life and also surrounds you.  (Luke 17:21)  You are flooded with My living waters and are empowered by the fire of My Holy Spirit, receiving new life and power to defeat the works of the devil in your life.
     The warning about those people who try to save their natural lives will lose it but that those who give up their natural lives and seek Me will preserve their own lives and receive new lives was taught by Jesus so that you and they will give up the devotions to earthly things and devote your lives to seeking My spiritual things.  By doing that, you enhance your natural lives and receive the power of My life also. 
    Jesus knew that it would not be a mass exodus of people seeking to find Him after His resurrection, but that it would be individuals. (Luke 17:34-36)   People asked Him, "Where?"  He said where His resurrected body would be, the eagles would gather together, speaking of the angels who are referred to as winds and ministering spirits in the book of Hebrews and that they are servants of those who inherit salvation.       
     The people were cautioned by Jesus not to believe people who said that He was here or there or somewhere,  He said that as lightning flashes and lights up the sky that it would be similar in His day when He ushered My kingdom into the lives of people to make them a dwelling place, a temple of My Spirit.  Jesus was trying to make My children understand that He, My Spirit and I are One, just like you are one spirit, soul and body. Where My Spirit is in residence, I am in residence.  Where My Spirit is in residence, Jesus Christ is in residence.  We come to live inside of My children, not in earthly man made temples.  Just like when Jesus walked the earth, My Spirit and I were inside of Him, not in the religious temples. 
     Jesus then described when My kingdom would come to earth and said that when My Spirit comes to live in you that you will be motivated to give up religious devotions to things or people and that you be motivated to make Me the Lord of your life in the person of My Holy Spirit.  (Luke 17:31; II Corinthians 3:17)  He said you have My kingdom inside of you and surrounding you. (I Corinthians 6:19; Luke 17:21)
      The mental understanding of the Pharisees at the time of Jesus was blinded by the devil so that they could not fully understand My plan from the foundation of the world which was Christ in you, the hope of glorious, kingdom living while in the earth and also in My heaven.  My Holy Spirit removes the veil from your eyes and the eyes of My other children so that you can understand and be healed.
      Seek Me for understanding and My Spirit will reveal everything you need to know.
      Your Father of Spiritual Understanding   

KINGDOM LIVING - FAITH INCREASED

Dear One,
    The disciples of Jesus asked Him to increase their faith.  My Holy Spirit, the dispenser of faith, had not yet been given to humans because Jesus had not yet died for the sins of the world, so it was impossible for them to have at the time supernatural faith which they eventually received on the day of Pentecost in the upper room.  Yet, Jesus knew that the disciples were in need of faith.  As usual He taught them in a parable, comparing an earthly situation to My kingdom.
    Jesus started the teaching by telling them that if they had the faith of a grain of seed that they could say to a mulberry tree to be pulled up and planted in the sea and it would obey them. (Luke 17:3-4) He was prophesying the coming of My Holy Spirit into their lives with My endless power which would do miraculous things. 
    However, their limited human faith at the time depended upon their obeying religious laws, as He told the rich man earlier.  (Matthew 19:16-22) To explain, Jesus told them the parable of a man who had a servant who plowed the fields and tended sheep and He asked them if that man would tell his servants to come eat at His table immediately or if it was not more proper for the servant to continue with his duties while the man ate and then the servant could come and eat and drink to his or her fill. (Luke 17:7-9)  Jesus told the disciples that the man should not praise the servant for doing what he was told to do.   He was teaching them that they must obey the religious laws that were given at the time, knowing that they were given by Me to alert My children to the works of the devil and given to teach them how to avoid evil.  He was saying that obeying the laws were expected of them but that later more would be given to them to increase their faith.  
    Later, He commanded them to go to Jerusalem and wait for My promise which was the entry of My Holy Spirit into their lives. (Acts 1:1-8)  He said that they would eventually go beyond their religious duties of only doing what the religious laws told them to do. and they would do what Jesus, Himself, would tell them to do.  Their faith would grow from mere ineffectual human faith to super human, supernatural faith given to them by My Holy Spirit.
    He had told them that they must wait for My Holy Spirit to live inside of them, giving them My power to do supernatural things such as resisting the devil, overcoming evil with good, casting demons out of themselves, healing the sick, casting demons into the abyss of which He spoke about the mulberry tree being supernaturally planted in the sea.  He was suggesting that if they would receive My Holy Spirit that they would be able to  speak and pray in spiritual languages, receive wisdom and knowledge from Me to improve their lives and the lives of others, and He was encouraging them about their having much more faith power than they could ever imagine. (John 14:25-26; John 16:7-15)  Until then, until He paid the price for their sins, they needed to be satisfied with doing their duties under religious laws and expect no praise for their obedience. 
   My truths were encrypted within the religious laws and prophesies of the prophets.  In the scene when the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, He did not withhold faith from them.  He was merely saying that under the present spiritual conditions at the time that they had all that He could give them to increase their faith, and that was to be loyal to the religious laws.  They would not have believed Him if He had told them the magnificence of the power of My Holy Spirit who was going to be in them later. 
    And, later, when they received My Holy Spirit into their spirits and were baptized in My Holy Spirit, they began to speak and pray in spiritual languages and My words were able to enter the earth again with the power to change people and to change circumstances, uprooting demonic spiritual mulberry bushes and planting them into the spiritual abyss which resulted in freeing My children from  tormenting demons.
     Until the coming of My Holy Spirit into their lives, they were limited in power and Jesus could not even increase their faith, only by telling them to do their duties to the religious laws at the time.  When they were later baptized with My Holy Spirit, My faith was freely given to them because faith is a gift of My Holy Spirit and a fruit of your one-on-one relationship with me.  That is when their faith was increased to an endless degree in them, all as a gift from Me.
    The grain of mustard seed, as spoken by Jesus, is the spiritual seed of My Holy Spirit who grows into the greatest of herbs and into the tree of life. (Matthew 13:31-32; Genesis 3:23-24) 
     My children still ask Me to increase their faith.  Jude gave an effectual way to increase faith.  He said to, "Build up yourself on your most holy faith by praying in My Holy Spirit." (Jude 20)  The Holy Spirit, My seed of life, becomes the tree of life in you, growing in you the fruit of My Holy Spirit which has more seeds which, when planted in the earth, will bring harvests of blessings into your life.

KINGDOM LIVING - STAY ON GUARD

Dear One,
    In the teachings of Jesus relating to living the kingdom life while in the earth, He covers in the parables every area of living, comparing daily living to kingdom living.  His teachings relating to temptations of the devil that snare you, trap you and entice you to sin are given to caution you to be on the alert, on guard, always realizing that that your enemy, the devil, never gives up in the orchestrations he concocts to suck you into his plans to destroy your peace of mind, your tranquility, your joy, your love and your kindness toward others. 
     Jesus said woe to him through whom temptation comes.  It most often is a family member, a trusted friend, a political compatriot, a religious brother or sister, a neighbor, anyone whom the devil can effectively use to trap you into engaging in conflict.  Jesus said that woes will be visited upon the person who traps the people who are lowly in rank and influence to do the will of the devil.  He said that it would be better if the person had a millstone hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than to cause anyone to be snared by the devil.  The person through whom a temptation comes into your life will also suffer consequences for fraternizing with evil, not by suffering consequences from Me, but suffering by the curses of the kingdom of evil with whom he or she has joined in allegiance.(Luke 17:1-2)  The wage of an allegiance with the devil is always destruction and death.  There is no good wage for joining with evil and causing other people to join with it.  
    Then Jesus in His admonition told you to always be on guard, looking out for one another so that you will be alert to the plans of the evil one.  You must always depend upon My Holy Spirit to discern good from evil for you, what is beneficial for you and others and what is detrimental to you and others. Love in you will alert another person to his or her crossing the boundary between blessings and curses.  Jesus said that if your brother misses the mark set by Me, falling for temptations, that you should tell your brother and you must forgive him. (Luke 17:3)  That keeps evil at bay, unable to further its plans in the life of the person or in your life.
    Jesus' teaching on forgiveness says that forgiving someone is often not a one time thing.  He said even if someone sins against you seven times in a day that you must forgive him or her seven times a day.  (Luke 17:4)  It often takes 70 times for you to forgive from your heart, to give up all resentment and the desire to retaliate.  You must practice automatic forgiveness so that you can immediately forgive others like I do.  You can be on guard, watching out for people who have yielded to temptations and you must forgive them immediately.  I said whose sins you forgive are forgiven and whose sins you retain are retained.  Practicing immediate forgiveness is beneficial for you because you are also forgiven every time you forgive someone else, forgiven of the desire to judge, to be vengeful and to retaliate.  (John 20:21-23)
    That parable is a picture of My forgiveness which is automatic and all encompassing because of the sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of the whole world.  Because you are immediately forgiven by Me for falling into temptations to do evil to someone, you must immediately forgive others who do the same thing.  Otherwise, you are the same as the hypocrites who say one thing and do another.  It's beneficial to forgive everyone whom you see entangled in the deception of the devil which you have also done many times.
     Keep the spiritual atmosphere around you clear and pure by forgiving others immediately, refusing to hold anything against anyone.   Also, stay on guard, alert like a sentinel at the gate to a kingdom, eager to catch the devil in his primary plan to snare someone with whom you are acquainted.  Stop the devil's work by forgiving everyone and then alert people to the traps so that he or she will separate from the evil instead of embracing it.
     I covered every area of concern in your life in My teachings where I compared the workings of My kingdom with the mundane workings of the flesh in the earth, teaching you how much more powerful My ways are.  My teachings are above all things, not under them.  They are higher than your thoughts, attitudes or actions.  They diffuse the works of evil in the earth, taking the power out of temptations by forgiving the people who yield to temptations.
     Practice immediate forgiveness so that when you fall for the temptation to be involved in conflict that you will recognize the danger and forgive the human messenger by whom evil was delivered to your door.
    Immediate forgiveness provides the atmosphere through which I can work efficiently in your life because there are no judgmental spirits sent from hell to impede My work. 
    Your Father of Immediate Forgiveness and Love
                 

KINGDOM LIVING - UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Dear One,
    HUMAN LOVE IS CONDITIONAL, RESULTING IN YOUR WITHHOLDING YOUR APPROVAL, YOUR FAVOR, YOUR VALIDATION AND YOUR LOVE FROM ANOTHER PERSON UNLESS THE PERSON FULFILLS ALL OF YOUR RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, CULTURAL, SOCIAL, TRADITIONAL  OR NATIONAL RULES, REGULATIONS, LAWS, PRINCIPLES AND EXPECTATIONS.
    CONDITIONAL, HUMAN LOVE BRINGS DESTRUCTION AND DEATH INTO YOUR LIFE, THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND ROBS YOU OF MY KINGDOM LIVING WHILE IN THE EARTH. (II Corinthians 3:6) 
    MY CHILDREN DO NOT KNOW WHAT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS.
    MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS LOVING A PERSON WITHOUT EXPECTING THAT PERSON TO FULFILL ANY OF YOUR RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, CULTURAL, SOCIAL, NATIONAL OR TRADITIONAL RULES, REGULATIONS, LAWS, PRINCIPLES OR EXPECTATIONS. (I Corinthians 13:4-13)
     UNCONDITIONAL LOVE LOOKS ON THE SPIRIT OF A PERSON, NOT ON THE WEAKNESSES OF HIS OR HER FLESH, FOR EVERYONE HAS FALLEN SHORT OF THE MARK, EVEN YOU.
    UNCONDITIONAL LOVE UNDERSTANDS THE WEAKNESS OF ALL FLESH AND ITS PREDISPOSED PROGRAMMING TOWARD OBEYING THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL.  BECAUSE MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE UNDERSTANDS THE WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH, IT FORGIVES INSTANTLY AND DOES NOT SEE PEOPLE AS WEAK FLESH BUT SEES ALL PEOPLE AS GODLY SPIRITS WHO ARE HONORED BY ME AS MY MUCH LOVED CHILDREN.(John 3:6; John 5:22; John 6:33; John 8:15; MATTHEW 7:1-2 )
     LET ME TEACH YOU TO LOVE OTHERS WITH MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WITH WHICH I LOVE YOU AND ALL MANKIND.  FIRST YOU MUST LET ME SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU BY SPENDING TIME WITH ME IN MEDITATION AND TRUE COMMUNION, ON ON ONE, WHERE REVELATION IS TRANSFERRED FROM MY MIND TO YOUR MIND.
     I PROMISED YOU THAT WHEN YOU HAVE AN INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF MY POWER AND MY LOVE FOR YOU, THAT I AM ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN YOU DARE THINK OR IMAGINE, ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF LOVE THAT IS IN YOU.  (Ephesians 1:19-22; Ephesians 3;14-20; John 13:34)
     KINGDOM LIVING DEPENDS UPON SPIRITUAL POWER (FAITH) AND LOVE.  FAITH WORKS ONLY BY LOVE.
    YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER OF LOVE
    

KINGDOM LIVING - CAN'T BUY A TICKET

Dear One
    The Pharisees were lovers of money and covetous of money, so when they heard the teachings of Jesus relating to the fact that people who seek for money instead of seeking My kingdom will never find My kingdom.  They wanted to seek both so they sneered, ridiculed and scoffed at Jesus. (Luke 16:14-15)  Jesus knew their hearts and so He told them that they act righteous but that I know their hearts.  He told them that anyone who has exalted himself among men is abhorrent in My eyes because of the state of their hearts. 
   Then Jesus clued them in on the two covenants, the first one which had the laws and prophets and the final one which is the good news of My Kingdom of God which was preached starting with John the Baptist who proclaimed the coming of My kingdom into the earth. He said that some people have fought violently to enter into My kingdom to no avail and that all of the laws and the prophesies first needed to be fulfilled.(Luke 16:16-17)
    Jesus told the parable about the rich man who loved to dress in finery and parade before people, making merry every day.  There was also a destitute man who had been dropped off at the town who was covered with sores and was begging for alms.  He was satisfied eating scraps that fell from the table of the rich man.  The destitute man died and was carried by the angels to the bosom of Abraham.  The rich man died and was buried.  He was tormented in Hades and saw Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham.  The rich man cried out to Abraham and asked that Lazarus might dip the tip of his finger into water and cool his tongue because he was anguishing in the heat.(Luke 16:23-24) Abraham told the rich man that while he lived that he languished in comfort and delight but Lazarus had discomforts and distresses so Lazarus was now comforted in Abraham's bosom.  He told the rich man that there was a great chasm that caused people to not be able to pass from the fire where he was to Abraham's bosom. (Luke 16:25-26)
    In the parable story the rich man asked Abraham to send someone to his five brothers to warn them about the place of torment.   Abraham told him that they had the law and the prophets, to let them listen to them.  The rich man told Abraham that if someone from the dead warned them, that then his brothers would believe him and repent.  Abraham told him that if they didn't listen to Moses and the prophets that they would not believe anyone who rose from the dead.
     Jesus was speaking truthfully about his death and resurrection and that the people under the old covenant of the law of sin and death would not believe in the glorious events of the resurrection, but that the blind, the maimed, the poor, the deaf, the downtrodden and the afflicted would believe and would be ushered into My kingdom living, eagerly receiving the power of My Spirit when He came into the world on the day of Pentecost and forever after to come to live in My children, changing them from death to life, from curses to blessings, from being separated from Me by demons to being united with Me as One. 
     John the Baptist preached that the My kingdom was nigh.  He had received word of the coming of My kingdom into the world when he was in the wilderness.  After being baptized by John and receiving the baptism of My Spirit, Jesus told the good news, that My Spirit was upon Him to preach the good news to the poor, the blind, the downtrodden and the release of captives from the devil and to proclaim the acceptable year of My kingdom coming to earth.  The Pharisees, the scribes, the Sadducees and the hypocrites didn't like His message because it differed from their interpretation of the laws and the prophets.  He proved them wrong.
     Self righteously religious people still do not like the message of Jesus, that My Spirit desires to come live in them and give them power over evil.  Those people who have a need are the ones who welcome Him and live My kingdom life on earth and in My heaven.  Jesus died for it. 
     The parables are stories that are comparable to truth.  They are not doctrine or truth. They are modes of proclaiming My good news to My children, the good news that I relieve burdens and have solutions to problems in the person of My Holy Spirit.  I said that My kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  He is the only way into My kingdom.
     Your Father of Love
    

KINGDOM LIVING - BE WISE AS SERPENT

Dear One,
    In My teachings through Jesus concerning having My kingdom living in the earth, I taught many lessons relating to every day occurrences.  I told you through the parables how to attract your inheritance to you in a story about a rich man who had a manager of his finances who was mismanaging his money.  The lesson in the story is that you cannot be loyal to the devil and also be loyal to Me.  You will always hate one and love the other.
    In the story that Jesus told, the rich man called his manager into a meeting and told him that there were finances missing and that because of the mismanagement that the manager was fired.  The manager was shrewd but dishonest.  He went to people who owed goods to his former boss and manipulated them into giving to him a portion of what was owned to his former boss.  He didn't want to work digging ditches for money to feed himself and certainly didn't want to beg on the street.  His method was shrewd and cunning but it was dishonest.(Luke 16:5-7)  The shrewd man's master complimented him for his prudence and wisdom and also told him to make friends with unrighteous people so that if he fails again that the unrighteous people will take him in and invite him to live with them.  He said that the children of the unrighteous spirits in that age were wiser than the children of light. (Luke 16:8) 
    This parable is a picture of the two kingdoms at work in the world, My kingdom of love and the kingdom of evil, led by the devil.  When one of My children falls for a temptation of the devil to do something illegal, often when that person is prompted by Me to do good, the person will continue to fall for the devil's temptations and do more evil in order not to have to turn completely to Me and be healed of the desire to do evil.  The devil's temptation will encourage the evil doer to continue to bind himself or herself to evil in order to exist instead of turning to Me and become like the prodigal son, crowned with My kingdom living.  The pull toward doing evil is often stronger than the pull toward doing good.
    My Holy Spirit wrote that you must be cautious that your minds are not deceived by the serpent's cunning so that your mind is not led astray from your pure devotion to Me.  (II Corinthians 11:3)   You must be more insightful than the devil is in his temptations.  You must recognize his temptations in your mind.  I give you the Spirit of discernment that judges which voice in your mind is mine and which is the devil's.  My Spirit called His own voice the umpire which determines who is speaking in your thoughts, whether they are My words of the devil's temptations.  If they pull you into doing more evil after having fallen for a former temptation, then it's not My voice.
    In the parable Jesus concluded with the wisdom He wanted to impart.  He said that a person who is dishonest and unjust in little things is dishonest in big things.  BUT, He said a person who is faithful in little things is faithful in big things.  He went on to say that if you are faithful in unrighteous actions, that you cannot be trusted with My true riches.  Further, He said that if you have not proved faithful in what belongs to another person, who will give you your own riches to manage? (Luke 16:12) 
     The truth of the teaching was encapulsulated in the truth that you cannot serve two masters, that you will hate one and love the other, that you will stand by and be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve Me and at the same time be devoted to the devil and to doing his evil works, always seeking for riches by taking advantage of someone.  (Luke 16:13)  Following evil temptations will result in your being completely destroyed, penniless and forlorn. 
    This teaching followed the teaching that Jesus gave about the prodigal son who was a good example of seeking riches and riotous living to the point of being penniless and depressed.  When he returned to his father, he was welcomed home and given riches that were more than he imagined.  
    The wage of sin is death.  The gifts that I have for My children are the abundant life and peace for their minds. (Romans 6:23)
    Learn to discern the voices of evil temptations in your mind that lead to poverty and death.  Learn to recognize the voice of Truth in your mind which leads to the abundant life and soul peace, which is My voice.
     Your Father of Wisdom and Peace
      
    

KINGDOM LIVING - NO SIBLING RIVALRY

Dear One,
   Yesterday we looked at the story that Jesus told about the son who became an obvious sinner who was eventually restored to his original place of honor by his loving father.  There was no requirement of punishment, prolonged payment for his sins or a tongue lashing from his father.  Instead, the son's apology, his desire to  turn from his frivolous living and his willingness to share bread with the servants showed the state of his heart.  He was immediately restored to his royal position in the family with no punishment.  It was a story comparing My kingdom of heaven to an earthly situation. (Luke 15:11-32)
    The only darkness in that whole story had to do with the attitude of the older brother who was angry that the father had treated the disobedient son royally upon his return.  He said that their father had never treated him with such favor.  However, his father assured him that everything the father owned had always
also been the property of the older brother and that the father had never withheld anything from him.  Jealousy and sibling rivalry had attacked the mind of the older brother, even though the father had not really favored the younger son but had merely welcomed him back into the family and restored his fortune to him.  The father told the older brother to rejoice because his brother had been dead but now was alive, was lost but was now found. 
     Jesus revealed that the devil takes advantage of any opportunity to send a jealousy demon into the minds and hearts of people.  When there is a tiny opening, the devil sends a jealous demon to sow strife in a family, a church, an organization or a nation,  Jealousy is a controlling demon and has many demonic spirits in unity with it.  In fact, I said that where there is jealousy, there is strife and every evil spirit. 
    The demon of jealousy entered the earth through Adam, of course, and it manifested itself when Cain killed Abel.  (Genesis 3:4-8) Cain thought that Abel was My favorite child and evil entered into him and made him angry enough to kill his brother.  Before the murder, I had warned them that the devil was crouching at their door, desiring to have them as his own but that they must rule over that demon of jealousy.  Cain did not recognize that evil demon when it attacked his mind.  He thought that he was justified to be angry because Abel seemed to be favored.  Adam's family was cursed with that demon of jealousy from that day forth.  You are also subject to be tormented by it and led to kill others because of it.  Always remember that jealousy and strife have a large demonic family in hell and I said that every evil demon accompanies jealousy.
    The teaching of Jesus about the son who returned after riotous living and was restored to favor with his father is also a picture of the nation of Israel who was blessed because of Abraham's faith.  I chose Abraham so that the spirit of My Son Jesus could enter the world through the flesh of a descendant of Abraham because of Abraham's faith.  It was purely Abraham's belief in what I said that qualified his descendant to be the vehicle through whom My Son would enter the world in order to save it from the works of the devil. 
    Later, when the people who received the ministry of Jesus were the poor, the maimed, the blind, the deaf and the downtrodden instead of the people of the nation of Israel, jealousy entered into the rulers of the nation and they killed My Son.  When He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to live with Me, He sent My Holy Spirit into the earth to minister to the Gentiles first because unbelief was still rampant among the Jews.
    Today in My children there are still religious people who are  jealous of My attention to the poor, the maimed, the dirty, the blind, the deaf, the prisoners and the ones whom they consider sinners.  The religious jealousy demon tells the religious people that they are the people who are right because they never sinned like the afflicted people have done.  The religious people would prefer that the afflicted people would worship at another church instead of theirs.  The jealousy demon also afflicts families because the devil enters into the mind of a member of a family who feels that he or she is not getting as much attention as deserved.  Husbands kill wives, wives kill husbands, children kill each other, children kill parents, boyfriends kill the children of their girlfriends because of the attention of the girlfriend to her own child, and the demons have free reign in families.   I warned about the demon of jealousy at the beginning and Jesus pointed out the problem in the parable about the prodigal son and his older brother. (I Corinthians 3:2-3; James 3:16)      
    Jealousy is a controlling demon in the earth.  Moses wrote about it when he wrote about Cain and Abel.  Jesus pointed it out in the parable of the prodigal son.  James wrote about it when he said that wars are started in families and relationships because of jealousy.  He said that if you don't have something that you desire, that you must pray for it instead of murdering for it. (James 4:1-3) 
    The truths in the parable of the prodigal son are given for your good.  The first one is that I welcome everyone into My kingdom living who comes to Me and then I give to them the power to turn their backs on an evil life.  The second truth is that you must be alert at all times for the demon of jealousy to flood your mind.  As you have seen from the history in the world of the demon of jealousy and what he has done to the lives of My children, you must always be alert to his temptations.  Resist him and be willing to take a back seat in all things, refusing to demand attention from anyone.  When you humble yourself, I will exalt you and your exaltation will be grand.  The angels in heaven and I will rejoice and you will be grateful for My work in your life.
    Remember that the parables that Jesus taught are stories comparable to My kingdom living, comparing them to earthly situations so that you will learn from them and know how to incorporate kingdom living into your life.
    Avoiding the demon of jealousy is the primary warning.

KINGDOM LIVING - THE PRODIGAL BECOMES A KING

Dear One,
    All believers and most unbelievers know the parable of the prodigal son who returns to the kingdom of his father and is treated like a king because of the forgiveness of his  father. The comparison that Jesus made of the rebellious son relates to all mankind.  Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of kingdom living.  The generosity of the father is the primary image of My kingdom of heaven, but the secondary lesson to be learned from it is the attitude of the good son who never leaves his father.  It is a secondary lesson of this parable.
    The youngest son asked for his portion of his father's inheritance, received it from his father, gathered it all up and went to a far country where he squandered the entire inheritance.  By human standards which are influenced by the devil, that would have been the end of the story, he would have come home and his father and older brother would have said, "That's it, you lost your fortune in riotous living and you will have to pay the price for your frivolous behavior by living in the plants you grew by the seeds you sowed." There would have been no mercy or forgiveness, only judgment from the human father and brother. For them, the father and the brother, that would be the due punishment for living a frivolous life and spending all of his fortune. 
     My family is different.  That is why Jesus told the story of the prodigal son, so that you and all of My children would have an image in your minds of My mercy and forgiveness.
     The rebellious son spent his inheritance on wine, women and song, as it is said.  In the eyes of his self righteous brother he did neither deserve to be forgiven nor did he deserve to have a fortune returned to him because he had spent his share and that was too bad.  You know the story of how the rebellious brother was eventually so down on his luck that he wandered looking for someone to help him get back on top.  When a famine came in the country he was more depressed in every way, so he went and joined with a man from that country.  That is a true picture of how the devil works, when he gets a person down and dirty, he sends someone with a worse vice to finish off the devil's work in the life of the depressed person.  (Luke 15:14-15) The rebellious son went from living like a king to feeding pigs in the field.  He would gladly have eaten the pig slop. (Luke 15:16)  It came to him one day that his father's servants had enough bread to spare but he was starving.  (Luke 15:17)
     After coming to his senses and deciding to confess his rebellion to his father, the expectations of the rebellious son upon returning to his father were only that he would be treated like a servant but at least he would have bread to eat.  He did not fully know the depth of the love of his father. (Luke 5:18-19)
     He went home to his father with low expectations.  However, he learned about love, compassion and forgiveness.  His father saw him from a distance, ran, embraced him and kissed him.  The rebellious son confessed his sins against Me and against his father and genuinely stated that he was no longer worthy to be called his father's son.  Instead of doing what the son expected, his father called the servants and told the servants to put the best robe upon the son as a symbol of honor, to put a ring on his finger as a symbol of the son's majesty being restored.  The father told the servants to prepare for a great feast of celebration  and said that they would eat and be merry because his son that was dead was now truly alive again. he was lost and he was now found. (Luke 15:22-24)
    Very often human families do to rebellious children who return home exactly what the rebellious son expected.  The families might welcome the child home, but they give ultimatums and rules and regulations that add burdens to the already burdened child.  Instead of rejoicing and treating their child with honor, they treat him or her like servants, waiting to make sure that the child is really sorry for his or her sins. Families often demand signs of repentance, making children work for their salvation.  In My family, I welcome rebellious children who have been deceived by the devil into following his ways, I welcome them back home to Me with open arms and I restore them to their places of honor in My family.  I am able to heap forgiveness, love and compassion upon rebellious children because I know the depth of their despair and the conditions of their hearts.
    My self righteous children must have a change of heart and do the same as I do, restore to full honor the people who have been deceived by the devil to follow his ways which the devil made look to them exciting and so much fun.  The rebellious ones are deceived just like you have been deceived in many ways.  There are no right ones and no wrong ones in My family.  There are only ones who have been restored to full honor by the love, mercy and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 
    When I put the robe of righteousness upon the shoulders of My restored  children who have returned to My kingdom living, I place the power of My Holy Spirit upon them.  He gives them the power to refuse the temptational pull of the devil toward rebellious and riotous living.  I also give them the rings of My majestic character, which are the keys to My kingdom.  They are able to understand the difference between evil temptations and My righteous promptings.  I do not condemn and judge them for yielding to the devil.  Instead, I give to them the power to be what I desire them to be, joyful, loving, kind, merciful, good, patient and peaceful in the earth to people and I give them the power to defeat the works of the devil in their lives.
    There is no punishment from Me for the riotous living.  Being separated from Me and My family was the devil's punishment for following him, and it was hell on earth. That was the reason for his temptation for My child to follow his evil ways,  to punish the child and to punish Me for casting the devil out of My kingdom.  The devil's desire is to punish Me through his punishment of My children.  My ways to overcome the devil's plan is to always welcome My children back into My family and into the riches of My family in kingdom living.  The gates of hell cannot prevail against a child who has been restored to Me, has received My Holy Spirit's robe of righteousness, and who knows the temptations of the devil are to separate him from Me and My family benefits.
     Your joy at being My child is to restore others to My kingdom benefits by telling them about My love, My peace, My goodness and kindness toward them.  Restoring them is My job and My joy. 
     Your Father of Mercy and Forgiveness           
              
    

KINGDOM LIVING - THE LOST SHEEP

Dear One,
    The Pharisees and scribes murmured and griped about Jesus eating and communing with sinners.  (Luke 15:1-2) They believed that He certainly was not the long awaited Messiah because he ate with mere sinners.  The scribes and Pharisees thought He was supposed to come and gather the people to Him who were obeying the religious laws at the time, and only gather them to him.  They thought that the sinners were outcasts from society and that the long awaited Messiah should not be fraternizing with sinners.  He was only supposed to fraternize with the righteous people who obeyed religious laws.  As the tax collectors and sinners gathered to hear Jesus, the Pharisees were angered because of the preference that Jesus showed to the sinners. 
    Jesus explained His attention given to sinners by comparing His actions to a man who had one lost sheep and ninety-nine safe ones.(Luke 15:3-5)  He even asked the Parisees and the scribes if they were the owner of the sheep would they not leave the ninety-nine ones in the wilderness and go after the lost one?  Jesus told them that an owner of sheep rejoices at finding one lost one, that he would put the sheep safely on his shoulders high above any ravenous wolves. (Luke 15:5)  When he reached home, he would call his family, friends and neighbors together and tell them to rejoice because he had found the sheep that was lost. (Luke 15:6)
    Then Jesus told the Pharisees and scribes that there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who turns to Me than ninety-nine righteous ones who don't need to repent. (Luke 15:7) That angered the religious Pharisees and scribes who knew the religious laws and kept them.  They wanted the Messiah, if Jesus was Him, to rejoice over them and tell them how holy and righteous they were for following all the religious laws.  They didn't want there to be rejoicing in heaven by Me and My angels because of the people who are usually rejected by the religious ninety-nine in the earth.
     Then Jesus compared My kingdom of heaven to a woman who had ten silver coins but lost one.  He said that she would light a lamp, sweep the house and look diligently until she found the coin.  Upon finding it, she called her neighbors and her friends and told them to come and rejoice with her that she had found the lost coin. (Luke 15:8-9) Then Jesus told the Pharisees and scribes that not only is there rejoicing on the earth that one lost sheep is found or one lost coin is found; but, even so, there is joy by Me before the angels in heaven over one sinner who turns to Me.  (Luke 15:10) That image is what angered the religious leaders, that I, along with the angels in heaven, always rejoice and celebrate when one sinner repents and turns to Me.  The expectation of the religious people is that there is rejoicing in heaven for their diligent attention to religious laws, attending church every time the doors are open, when they give alms to the poor and tithe to the church, when they open their homes for meeting, but certainly not that there is rejoicing in heaven by Me and My angels when a sinner repents. The self righteous Pharisees and scribes considered it to be unjust and unfair that I and My angels would rejoice over sinners instead of rejoicing over them, the rule followers who are secure in religious laws.
     In explaining what goes on in My heaven when people repent and turn from sin to Me, My Spirit was teaching through Jesus the extreme joy there is in heaven which results in rejoicing when a sinner repents and a person finds Me when he or she is lost. In doing that, Jesus indicates that there should also be rejoicing on earth when a person repents and turns to Me. 
     Rejoicing needs to be your day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute reaction when you see and experience My miracles in your life and in the lives of other people.  My angels and I rejoice.  You need to rejoice at all times, especially when the poor, the maimed, the blind and the sick enter into a church with a need.  They have a greater need than the righteous people and they will be exalted when their needs are met by Me and there will be rejoicing in heaven and should be on earth when their needs are met.
     Your attitude toward the poor, the sick, the maimed, the blind and the sinners shows what is in your heart.  If there is any disdain for them, you must cast out from you a pharisaical spirit of self righteousness which robs you of having mercy for the human sheep whom I seek to enter My kingdom.  (Luke 14:21) Pharisees never enter into kingdom living while in the earth.  I said your righteousness needs to exceed their righteousness to enter into kingdom living in the earth.  (Matthew 5:20) Matthew 23:23)
     Your Father Whose Delight is to Save The Lost

KINGDOM LIVING - COUNT THE COST

Dear One,
    When Jesus was talking to His disciples about the possibility of having kingdom living while in the earth, He gave to them and to you the parable of preferring your allegiance to Me rather than the chains that bind you to undo allegiances to your husband or wife, your child, your brother or sister or parents, your church, your political party or even your own life style.  He said that if you wish to enjoy kingdom living in the earth that you must put everything into degrees of importance and preference.( Luke 14:25-26)  He was saying that your allegiance to Me and to what I say to you is more important, more powerful, more enlightening, more freeing than what your family, your church or your political party can counsel you how to act or to do.  He was not saying that you must withdraw all love and honor from your family, but that you must not put their counsel and their guidance above Mine.  He was not saying to hate your church or your political parties, but that you should not look to them to be your savior and the source of your salvation. 
    Many of My children have turned from Me because of having those areas of preference instead of seeking My kingdom and My righteousness.  Your family, your church, your political party and your friends will always be opposed to your 100% dedication to Me because they feel that it will cost them your attention.  In reality, they will get more of your attention if you prefer My counsel and dedication than theirs because I will teach you how to love them unconditionally, which they have never experienced.
     Jesus said that anyone who does not bear his own cross cannot be His disciple.  He was talking about your bearing the troublesome faults of other people like I bore their sins on the cross.  When you forgive and love your enemies as well as your family and friends, you are bearing the cross because you are doing what Jesus commanded, loving others as I love you. (Luke 14:27) When your primary allegiance is to Me, you will seek Me and seek to become My image in the earth, a living witness to My character.  All of your family, your friends, your neighbors and your enemies will benefit because of your unconditional love for them which comes as a result of your becoming intimately acquainted with Me.
     Yet, Jesus told His followers that a person who wants to build a house sits down first, counts the cost and decides whether he has enough finances and resources to complete it.(Luke 14:28-30)  If not, when he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will mock him for starting the project without finishing it.  In this comparison, He was talking about those people who only lay the foundation of Himself as the cornerstone and foundation, but then refuse to receive My promise that was hidden from the foundation of the world, the coming of My Spirit into their lives to give them power over all evil and the power to bring kingdom living into their lives.  The thought of being completely yielded to Me and receiving My power is frightening to them because they are afraid of losing control of their lives.  That is why I said that if a person wants kingdom living in his life that he or she must be willing to leave his fears, his religious programming and his previous life behind.
      Jesus included another scenario in order to get his point across about complete allegiance to Me.  He compared it to a king who encounters another king at war and does not sit down and take counsel whether he has enough soldiers to fight the other king who has more soldiers. It is a picture of the battle always being with demonic forces, not with people.  If a person does not have the power of My Holy Spirit, he or she will make peace with the demons and continue to allow them to permeate the earth.  However, if the king does decide to seek counsel from Me, I will tell him to make peace with the people but to incorporate My power of the Holy Spirit to defeat the demons in the spiritual war who are many.  (Luke 14:31-32) 
    This parable is a picture of My kingdom living while in the earth, teaching that your allegiance to Me will counsel you that making peace with people replaces war and love for people replaces opposition.  That is what Jesus had previously taught you to do, to turn the other cheek, to love your enemies, to always make peace with your enemies, to do good to those who persecute you and and abuse you,  Jesus was telling people that My ways are higher than your ways and that you must consider that in counting the cost in deciding to seek Me with your 100% devotion.  However, with My Holy Spirit's prayer language, you can battle the demonic causes of conflict by praying in My Spirit.  All spiritual wars have been won by My children battling against principalities and powers by merely praying in My Holy Spirit's prayer language in their prayer closet.  He is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and He prays the same kind of prayers that allowed Peter and Paul, both, to be freed from earthly prisons. 
      As I told you when you were counting the cost on whether to become completely One with Me through the power of My Spirit, I asked you if you wanted to continue in familiar garbage or if you wanted to receive gold and kingdom living in your life.  It was a struggle between the devil and My Holy Spirit, both pulling at you, but you chose My gold and you are living the life that I promised.   
     Jesus concluded this parable by saying that salt is good, but if it has lost its savor that it cannot be restored, so men throw it away.  (Luke 14L33) The testimony of My children who have refused to finish building My dwelling place in the earth inside of them by only laying the foundation of Jesus for forgiveness of sins, refusing to be baptized in My Holy Spirit which gives them My supernatural power which leads to kingdom living, that refusal will cause others to lose their taste for My kingdom because the lights have dimmed.  My children who refused to finish the house are like the king, the person who did not have the spiritual power to defeat his enemy because he was lacking in spiritual power so he just made peace with his demonic enemy.
    You found that living in My palace and having kingdom living is better than living in the pig pen with garbage.  You counted the cost and you make the right decision. I love My children who count the cost and choose Me and I love My children who count the cost and choose earthly allegiances.  I do not withhold My love from someone who makes wrong decisions.  I grieve that they will have to live in garbage instead of enoy My loving counsel and salvation.
     Place Me first place in your heart.  Let your light shine before men so that they will glorify Me and the kingdom living that I offer.
    Your Father of Kingdom Living

KINGDOM LIVING - BANQUET EATING

Dear One,
    My promise of having kingdom living while residing in the earth according to the parables that Jesus taught are many and varied.  The reason for the many numbers and different scenarios is so that My children might get a clear idea into the promise that was spoken to them by the prophets about My Spirit living inside of you and establishing My kingdom in the earth. The parables spoke the same truths, that My Holy Spirit yearns to live inside of My Children and establish My kingdom of righteousness in the earth through making them over into My image of love.  It's like any learning process, repetition, repetition, repetition.
     In one of the stories that Jesus told about banquet invitations being delivered to guests, He said it was comparable to My Kingdom.  He said that a man gave a great banquet and sent invitations to people to join Him in His party.  The man sent his servant with invitations to tell the people that everything was ready.  The guests began to make excuses for not coming.  One person said that he had bought a field and he really needed to tend to his field and asked to be excused.  Another person used the excuse that he had bought five yoke of oxen and really needed to examine them, so he asked to be excused from coming to the banquet.  Another man said that he had just gotten married and therefore he couldn't come to the banquet.  When the servant reported back to the man giving the banquet, the householder told the servant to go into the streets and lanes of the city and bring the poor, the blind, the maimed and the lame people.  The servant did what the householder asked, and there was still room for more people at the banquet.  So the householder told the servant to go out on the highways and and hedges where foreigners were traveling and invite them so that his house would be filled with people for the banquet.  The householder said that no one who was originally invited would taste the excellent food offered at the banquet. (Luke 14:15-24)
     That is exactly what happened when My kingdom first came to earth on the day of Pentecost after Jesus rose from the dead, came to live with Me and We sent My Holy Spirit with His host of servants, the angels, into the world.  My Spirit made His home in some the spirits of My children on earth and they were surrounded by a "cloud of witnesses" which includes all of the spirits of the dead who entered My kingdom to live with Me. (Hebrews 12:1-2; 5;18-24) Those of My children who took the advice of Jesus and waited for the Holy Spirit were fortunate to experience the greatest day in the history of the world, when I came to earth to live in people.  Some people had other obligations that caused them to make excuses why they could not go to Jerusalem and wait for the "promise of the Father".  They missed out on the biggest thrill in life, the miracle of My Spirit having a new dwelling place within them.  The people who went to the life changing banquet are the people who had a need and invited Me into their lives.  They were blessed beyond human expectations or imagination. 
    It is the same today.  I constantly send out invitations by My angels to multitudes of people but the devil still causes them to make the same excuses, either they have just bought lands or new houses or cattle or a new business or they just got married or just joined a new club or they are devoted to their denomination or their family or their political party or their church.  Other obligations demand their attention instead of My glorious banquet where they can eat of My spiritual food and be healed in their spirits, souls and bodies.  They don't realize that My spiritual food that I have for them will show them how to make their family abundantly blessed, their businesses abundantly prosperous, their animals strong and healthy and their lives blessed abundantly.  They will want to shed any religious, political or social obligations which suck the life out of them and devote 100 % of their free time conversing with Me and hearing the wisdom of My Holy Spirit.  When the weak, the lame, the poor and the maimed accept My invitation, they are forgiven more and they love more.  (Luke 7:42-43)
     Sometimes My spiritual children only give 30% of their devotion to Me, being still bound to earthly obligations  and they only enjoy 30% of kingdom living while in the earth.  Others give 60% of their devotion to Me, being obligated to earthly duties, and they only enjoy 60% of kingdom living while in the earth.  My children who know that I am the only One who has the words of life will choose to devote 100% of themselves to Me and they will have 100% of My kingdom living while in the earth.  What they give up of the earthly obligations are nothing compared to the endless blessings that I have for them.
      My Holy Spirit can teach you valuable lessons from the parables of Jesus.  Be a hearer and a doer and you will live My kingdom life while in the earth.
      Your Father of Blessings and Wisdom
                 

KINGDOM LIVING - HUMILITY

Dear One,
    In teaching about My kingdom living in the earth which I desire for My children, Jesus taught about humility.  He was in the home of a Pharisee who had invited people to eat with him.  Jesus healed a person at the party and the Pharisees who were present had a bad attitude toward Him because it was the Sabbath. He told them that they, themselves, pulled their own oxen out of a well on the Sabbath. That erased the "attitudes" off of the faces of the Pharisees. (Luke14:1-6)
   At that dinner party Jesus noticed that men came and took the places of honor at the table.  He told them and you a parable about a wedding feast where many people are invited and He advised you not to take a place of honor at that wedding party because someone of eminence might come and the host would have to tell you that that place of honor was reserved for the important person and you would have to yield your place to the important person.  There would be shame for you if you had to be asked to move. (Luke 14:7-9)
    Jesus said that you must take the lowest place and then if the host comes and tells you to move to the place of highest honor, you will be honored by the host, not by yourself.  He proclaimed that everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he whom humbles himself will be exalted.  (Luke 14:10-11)  He was speaking a truth about My kingdom of love, telling the Pharisees that My kingdom belongs to the humble and poor in spirit, not to the prideful, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3) 
      The Pharisee who was host received an instruction by Jesus.  Jesus told the host that when he had a party that he should not invite his friends and family because they would invite him back in return.  Jesus told him to invite the poor, the maimed, the blind and the lame and he would be blessed because they could not repay him and I would repay him with blessings. (Luke 14:12-14)  Jesus was reiterating the truth that He previously told about the motivations of the Pharisees when they do things to be honored by people, praying in public and giving arms in public, taking seats at the head of the table.   He instructed them and you that when you do anything to be seen by people as being holy, that you will have no reward from Me because your motivation was to be honored by people for being holy and you got your reward in the minds of people who praised you for being holy.  Jesus had taught that your righteousness must be more than the righteousness of the Pharisees or you will not experience My kingdom living while in the earth.
     Hypocrites were not known to be humble.  Many Pharisees were hypocrites.  They were known to clang cymbals and announce their alms giving, plus praying in public so people would say how beautiful they prayed.  Jesus said to pray in your closet and I will reward you openly, and to give your alms in secret, not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing, and I will reward you openly. (Matthew 6:1-6).  When your praying and giving of alms is done to be honored by people, the motivation is from the devil's temptation to be prideful.  Pride always goes before a fall. The devil's spirit of pride wants you to fall from honor and be humiliated.
     Jesus was well acquainted with the principles or keys to kingdom living in the earth.  His teachings were given to cause you to want to seek My kingdom by taking His advice and avoiding the devil's temptations that come into your mind.
     Every word from the mouth of Jesus was important.  My Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, amplifies every word and makes it flesh in you, conforming you into My image in the earth.  Kingdom living is your right as My child.  It is your inheritance.
    My Holy Spirit is your Advocate who appropriates your inheritance for you.  He does it with your cooperation.  (John 16:12-15)
     Your Father of Kingdom Blessings  
   

INCORPORATING MY KINGDOM INTO KINGDOM LIVING

Dear One,
    We have been talking about the possibilities of having kingdom living in the earth and we have looked at the teachings of Jesus in the parables where he compared the normal sad living conditions of the people with My kingdom living.  We studied the pearl of great price, meaning that after you have found My Holy Spirit and are made a temple of My Spirit that you should shuck everything to which you formerly had complete devotion, those being money, prestige, religious doctrines, political tenets, social entanglements and anything else that demands your 100% allegiance.  We studied that you should leave those kinds of slavery to earthly allegiances and replace them with seeking Me and My kingdom 100% so that you will have kingdom living in the world.  Your return will be either 30, 60 or 100%, depending upon how much you leave behind that is influenced by the devil.
      After you dedicate yourself 100% to Me and My Fatherly wisdom, knowledge, revelation and guidance, I will teach you one-on-one how to incorporate My kingdom into your life so that you will have heaven on earth, as Jesus prayed.  It all begins with your desire that My will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)  That prayer of Jesus that My kingdom would come into the earth was accomplished on the day of Pentecost when My Holy Spirit came to live in My children who invite Him into their lives.  Every one of My children must have their day of Pentecost in order that they have kingdom living in their lives. (II Corinthians 2:7-16)  I must be allowed to come into your life in the person of My Holy Spirit and become Lord of your life, able to do My Fatherly duties in your life, ushering into your life My kingdom living. (II Corinthians 6:16-18; II Corinthians 3:17-18)  It is the culmination of the mystery hidden from the foundations of the world, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, which equips you to live a glorious life in the earth, blessed with your inheritance from Me.
     The first gift that is evident that I give to My children who seek My Spirit and yield to Him is the gift of My own spiritual language, a language of power. (Acts. 1:1-8; Colossians 1:26-27)  Jude had a revelation of the power of My spiritual language when he wrote that you must build yourself up in faith by praying in the Holy Spirit.  (Jude 20) You charge your spiritual batteries by praying in the Spirit.
     Another result from praying in the Holy Spirit in your prayer closet is that My instructions on how to efficiently answer your prayers are given from the Holy Spirit to the angels.  You learned from the parables that My Holy Spirit is always accompanied by angels.  They are His ways and means workers.  (Ezekiel 10:1-3; Ezekiel 1:13-20; Romans 12:18-21)  My wisdom and instructions on how to bring kingdom living into your life by answering your prayers are given to the angels through your mouth in My spiritual languages, or spiritual tongues.  (Hebrews 1:7)  That is the language with which I created the world.  We work together to bring My kingdom into your life.  It was impossible under the old covenant, but it is guaranteed now that Jesus took the keys of authority back from the devil and gave them to My children in the person of My Holy Spirit.
     Faith works by love.  I said that you are a clanging cymbal if you pray in My spiritual languages but don't have My love for everyone.  I said that if you have faith to move mountains but don't have My love for everyone that you will have nothing. (I Corinthians 13:1-3)  I am love, so where My Spirit lives, Love lives.(I Corinthians 13:4-13)
     If you dedicate yourself to intercessory praying in My Holy Spirit, and if you are led by My Spirit, and if you walk in love for everyone, whatever you ask will be done for you by Me.  All those things will work together for your good.  My purpose is to defeat the works of the devil in your life and to bring kingdom living into your life while you live in the earth as well as when you join Me in heaven. (Romans 8:28)  Remember the spiritual equation: if you walk in the Spirit of love plus play in the Spirit, it equals all things working together for your good.  Walk in the Spirit of love + pray in the Spirit = all things working together for your good.
    Kingdom living is possible and guaranteed while you live in the earth.  Jesus Christ died for it.  You need to appropriate it into your life by following My instructions in the keys to My kingdom.(John 14:12-14)

PARABLES ARE COMPARABLES TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Dear One,
     The disciples of Jesus asked Him why He spoke to the other people in parables but spoke clearly to them.  (Matthew 13;10) Jesus answered and told them that to them, the disciples, it was given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to the others it has not yet been given to them. (Matthew 13:11) Then He said that to those who had spiritual knowledge, that more would be given to them and that they would be furnished richly so that they will have an abundance; but to those who have no spiritual knowledge, that even what they had would be taken away.(Matthew13:12)  It is the same today, just like in the four kinds of grounds where the seeds fell, one on the roadside, others on the rocky ground, others among thorns, and then some fell on the good ground.  Only the seeds that fall on good ground produce beneficial plants, enough to feed them richly and abundantly, as Jesus said. (Matthew 13:3-9)
     Jesus said that the people had the power to see, but they could not see and they had the power to hear, but they could not hear. (Matthew 13:13-14)  He knew that the devil robbed them of His knowledge. He even said that their nation's heart had grown fat, gross and dull, and their ears heavy and difficult to hear, plus their eyes were closed so that they could not see and perceive and turn back to Me to be healed. (Matthew 13:14-15)
     He complimented His disciples and told them that their eyes could see spiritual things and were blessed and their ears could hear My spiritual wisdom and insights from Me and were blessed.(Matthew 13:16) 
     You must seek to be like the disciples, quick to see and quick to understand and believe.  When you are eager for My teachings, more will be given to you.  If you are void of knowledge, even the little that you have will be stolen by the devil.
     Jesus taught many things about My kingdom of heaven.  He even prayed that My kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10) You know that later, on the day of the feast of Pentecost, that His prayers were answered and I came to live in them.  Through the person of My Holy Spirit I came to live in their spirits and endeavored to create My character and personality inside of them, just like I did in Jesus.  The prayer of Jesus was answered.
     Today, in your world, in your time, the same is true.  When My children choose to be born of My Spirit and baptized in My Spirit, then old, corrupt things pass away and all things become new, according to My kingdom which comes to live in them in the person of My Holy Spirit.  All motivations change from selfishness to love for everyone because I am Love.  I give you the power to change from yielding to the temptations of the devil to yielding to the promptings of My Spirit, who always prompts you to do My will in the earth which will create a life abundant in love, peace, joy, goodness, kindness, mercy and patience,  Instead of being motivated by the father of destruction and death, you become motivated by the Spirit of Life and prosperity for your spirit, mind and body.  Your sins are forgiven and you walk in newness of life.  Oh, what a happy day that is. 
      What Jesus Christ did for you when He defeated the devil in hell, rose from the dead and then sent My Spirit to live inside of you is monumental in the kingdom of heaven.  That entire scenario had never happened before and it will never happen again.  It was prophesied from the foundation of the world that people were banished from the Garden where the tree of life was securely planted, but when My Spirit comes to live in you, then you are able to consistently hear My words from the Tree of Life and see My works in the heavens.  If you choose to, you will be as Jesus Christ was when He said that He only did what He saw Me do and He only said what He heard Me say. (John 5:19-21) When you commit yourself to Me to that degree, you become perfect in love and faith. (Matthew 5;46-48) Your mouth will be bridled and because you only speak love words in the earth you will sow wonderful seeds and inherit your blessings 100 fold.
     The entire kingdom of heaven belongs to My children who hear My words and do them.  I grieve for the ones who hear My words and choose not to do them.  I love them unconditionally but I am unable to reward them with their inheritance of abundant blessings because they have chosen to yield to the devil's temptations and thus become his child.  I wait patiently for the return of those children who have chosen destruction and death while in the earth instead of My blessings.  I am waiting patiently for a multitude of prodigal sons to tire of eating pig slop and sleeping with pigs, and instead choosing to return to Me, their Father of Unconditional Love.  I am eager to anoint them with My blessings upon their return.
      Hear My words and do them so that you will not have a trip to hell while living in the earth.  Eating pig slop and sleeping with pigs is not an enjoyable vacation for you while blessings and love await you at home with Me.
      Your Loving Father
      

KINGDOM LIVING - FISHY SMELLS

Dear One,
     Kingdom living in the earth depends upon how much of the devil's dross which you can get rid in your life.  Separating the goat-like thoughts, attitudes and actions from the sheep-like thoughts, attitudes and actions in your life will determine how much kingdom living you have while living in the earth. In another comparable story,    
    In another com-parable story Jesus related the kingdom of heaven to fishing.  If  you have bottom dwelling, scavenger-like fish in your life, they will see that you have that kind of life.  If you have angel-like fish in your life, they will see that you have an angelic-like life.  It's your choice which fish you will release and which fish you will keep when you drag a net into your life in the world. (Matthew 13:47-50)
    Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea and gathers all different kinds of fish.  When full, the fisherman drags the net onto the beach and begins to sort though the fish, throwing away the worthless ones and keeping the good fish.  He said that it would begin spiritually when the age of the dispensation of the law ended and it would begin with the age of the dispensation of grace. He said that the angels separate the wicked from the righteous and cast the wicked into the furnace of fire where there is wailing and grinding of teeth.  This reference was to the demons which the devil brought into the world when Adam gave him authority to enter and bring his demons who cursed the world.
     When My children are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Spirit, they begin to allow My Holy Spirit to reveal to them the bottom-dwelling, rebellious demons that have caused all the problems in their lives.  With the power of My Holy Spirit, they will cast the demons out of their lives or resist his temptations until he leaves them.  My warring angels capture those demonic spirits and escort those rebellious spirits into the hell that I prepared for the devil and his demons where they will wail and grind their teeth.  You have seen people who were angry and ground their teeth.  That was activity promoted by the demon of anger.  Those demonic spirits must leave when My children tell them to leave and then My angels escort the demons to hell.  The spiritual hell is reserved for the demons who torment My children.  That is their judgment for tormenting My children while My children live in the earth.
    After Jesus asked His disciples if they understood his teaching, they said, "Yes."  Then He said that every teacher who is trained in the kingdom of heaven  is like the owner of a house who brings out old treasures as well as new treasures.  He was speaking of My Holy Spirit being able to explain and teach you valuable keys to My kingdom from the told laws given though Moses, Isaiah, David, Solomon, and the rest of the old covenant men, but He taught also that His new words will always bring life.(Galatians 5:16-26)
     Get the smelly, pungent odor of the old, dead, demonic fish out of your life.   They have cursed your life long enough. My angels are waiting to escort them to the hell that is prepared for them.  My Holy Spirit gives you the power to rid your life of all demons.
      It's time for My children to go net fishing in their lives, separating the demonic thoughts, attitudes and actions from themselves.  My angels are ready to do their duties.

KINGDOM LIVING - THE LEAVEN

Dear One,
    Jesus was always very clear in His explanations of the kingdom of heaven.  He always said it is "like" something or other, actually "like" many different things so as to paint for My children a complete picture of heaven.  He could not tell the people at the time the spiritual aspects of the parables because, as He said, they would never understand the comparisons because My Spirit, the tutor, had not yet been given to them to enlighten them. 
    In one description He said that the kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman puts into three measures of meal until it is all leavened. (Matthew 13:33) When the seed of My Holy Spirit comes into your own spirit, creating a completely new spiritual creature, My desire is that the powerful spiritual leaven of My Spirit will be allowed by you to permeate your mind (soul) and your body also, baptizing your entire being with My power, changing you from being a person displaying the fruit of a fleshly person into your being My child and displaying the fruit of My Spirit.  (Galatians 5:16-24)   The three measures of meal being your spirit, soul and body, My Spirit multiplies the spiritual cells of your newly created spirit and invades your entire being, thus baptizing, immersing, permeating and changing your body and your mind also into a new creation that has My characteristics of goodness, kindness, love, mercy, joy, patience and the peace of My Holy Spirit.  He set up residence in your own spirit when  He created the new spiritual person in you. (II Corinthians 5:17-18)
      The process of allowing the leavening of My Holy Spirit to do His work in your life takes a while because He has to toss out the former dross and form new thoughts, attitudes and intentions in your mind before your body willingly changes by the prompting of My Spirit, who lives in your own spirit.  Often My children want to remain children of their flesh, being programmed by it in the past which was programmed by the devil.  If they do remain children of the flesh, their lives continue to be hell on earth, as motivated by the devil, instead of their enjoying My kingdom living on earth.
    The more My children allow Me to toss out the devil's dross from their minds and bodies, the more of My blessings will flood into their lives because they become more and more yielded to My Holy Spirit, the spiritual seed of My kingdom.  As the minds and bodies of My children become more and more the reflection of My love in the earth, then the more and more of My heaven becomes evident in their lives.  The leaven of My Holy Spirit in the spirit, soul and body of My children creates heaven on earth.  It's the binding principle.  If you bind yourself to the thoughts, attitudes and actions of My Holy Spirit, then you attract My heavenly benefits into your life because I am your Father. (Ephesians 1:3-6)  If you bind yourself to the devil's thoughts, attitudes and actions, then you attract his curses into your life because he becomes your father. (John 8:43-45)
     My love for you never stops.  However, the truth is that you either become My child of love in the earth and attract My kingdom into your life, or you become the devil's child of anger and hatred in the world and attract the devil's destruction into your life. (Matthew 6:24)
    When you allow Me to create in your soul and body the leaven of My Holy Spirit, the new creature that He created in your spirit will usher My heaven into your life.  Kingdom living is your reward on earth just as it is in heaven.. (Matthew 6:10)
     I never intended for My children to stop with being born of My Spirit. (John 3:5-6; Acts 1:4-8) I meant for them to be baptized in My Spirit which creates a new creature outwardly as well as inwardly.  That is when people see the works of My Spirit in your life and glorify Me as the Father of love.  Let My Spirit leaven your whole lump, your whole person, and bring kingdom living to you.

KINGDOM LIVING - THE SEED BECOMES A TREE

Dear One,
    Another story relating to My Holy Spirit living inside of you which produces kingdom living in the earth is told by Jesus when He told the parable about a grain of mustard seed which a man planted in a field.  Even though it is the smallest of seeds, it is the greatest of all the herbs and it eventually grows into a tree in which birds come and lodge in its branches. (Matthew 13:31-32)
    In this narrative Jesus was talking again about the Holy Spirit being the seed, the person of the Godhead about whom there was the least known to the people at the time, and also sometimes today.  Yet, Jesus said My Spirit is the greatest because Jesus promised later that He would do even greater things than Jesus did when He was in the earth. (John 14:12-14) 
    In the parable it talks about the seed being the greatest among the herbs and that it grows into a tree.  Herbs have medicinal qualities and they season foods, giving them flavor.  Jesus was saying that the Holy Spirit would have great medicinal qualities in the lives of those of My children who invite Him into their lives, that He has the power to cure all human illnesses and troubling circumstances. Plus, He knew that My Spirit would take the words of Jesus and make them palatable to My children, explaining them and revealing them as the truths that set people free. (John 16:12-16)
    The promise of the Holy Spirit growing from a seed into a tree in the lives of My children relates to the tree of life that I put in the Garden of Eden.  (Genesis 3:22-23)  I had to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden because of their fraternizing with the devil, allowing the devil to pollute the earth with evil.  I sent Jesus Christ into the earth to die for the sins of the whole world and make it possible for My Holy Spirit, the tree of life, to live inside of My children and give them My life, My character, My personality and My power to become My children of love in the earth.  My children began to be able to eat of the tree of life for the first time after Jesus rose from the dead and sent My Spirit of Life into those people who invite Him to live inside of them.  Originally Adam and Eve had to be banished from the garden so that they, fraternizing with evil, would not eat of it and have My life inside of them, speaking of the life of My Spirit.  Jesus made it possible with His sacrifice for My children to eat of the tree of life and become trees of life in the earth.
    There is a wonderful truth relating to the birds coming to lodge in the tree's branches. The extra benefit of having My Holy Spirit living inside of you is that you also have angelic servants who always accompany the Holy Spirit and who work along with My Spirit to bring kingdom living to My children.  Earlier, before Jesus performed His ministry in the earth, Ezekiel saw into My heavens and saw that My angels accompany My Holy Spirit every place He goes. (Ezekiel 10:1-5; Ezekiel 1:19-20) The angels are the work force of My Spirit.  More evidence is described when I designed the building of the Ark of the Covenant.  (Exodus 25:21-22)  Also, the writer of Hebrews under My new covenant of love said that the angels are My  servants who serve the inheritors of salvation. ( Hebrews 1:13-14)  When My Spirit brings My supernatural life into you, angels come to serve to you My kingdom living at the command of My Spirit.
     In this parable of the mustard seed, Jesus was painting a picture in the minds of the people of what would happen if they would be obedient and wait for the Holy Spirit, telling them that they would receive the tree of life and that the angels would lodge in the atmosphere around them, willing to obey the commands of My Holy Spirit in meeting the needs, wants and desires of My children as My Spirit reveals My truths to My children.  My kingdom of heaven becomes the source of life to you, giving the abundant spiritual life to the dead areas of your  human life. 
     Jesus painted glorious pictures relating to your being empowered by My Holy Spirit, forsaking all other devotions and clinging to Me as your only Savior.  He said not to depend upon your mate, your children, your friends, your neighbors, your business associates, your church, your political party, your riches or anything else, but only depend upon the wisdom, knowledge, insight and power of My Holy Spirit who wants to grow into the tree of life inside of you.  You cannot depend upon any of those things and depend upon Me also.  If you try to, you will be double minded, receiving nothing.  (James 1:5-8)
      Once you have the seed of My Holy Spirit planted in your life, forsake all other dependencies and lean only on Me, My wisdom, My knowledge, My insight, My power, My angels, and My supernatural, powerful abilities of which there are no other equals.  When you are One with Me, as prayed by Jesus, then you are in for the thrill of your life.  Old things will pass away and everything in your life will be new.

KINGDOM LIVING - THE VALUABLE PEARL

Dear One,
    It takes immovable faith and trust to be willing to sell all that you have and invest all of your money in one pearl that is reputed to be of great value.  That is the story of which Jesus spoke when He said that My Kingdom of heaven is like the merchant who went searching for a valuable pearl whose value would solve all of his problems.  He found one of great value and went and sold everything that He had and bought the pearl. (Matthew 13:45-46)
    The pearl of great value in My family is My Holy Spirit who was the sperm who impregnated Mary, creating My First Born Son in the earth.(Luke 1:31-35).  He is the power that motivated Jesus while he ministered in the earth and raised Him from the dead, making Him the Savior of all.  He is the mystery that was hidden from the foundation of the world, the cure for all of the ills of people that are caused by the devil in the world. (I Corinthians 2:6-10)  It was through Him that I created the world.  (Genesis 1:1-2) It is through Him that I want to heal the whole world.  It was through the power of My Holy Spirit in Jesus that He became the Christ, the victorious One. (Matthew 16:15-17)  It is through Him that I anoint you with the mystery of Christ in you, the hope of living a glorious life. (Colossians 1:27)
    The spiritual pearl of great value is My presence in your life when you become the temple of My Holy Spirit, allowing Me to live in you, motivating you to do My will in the earth so that people will see My works in your life and desire to also be filled with My Spirit.  It is My Holy Spirit who is the Lord of your life when He lives within your own spirit.  (I Corinthians 6:19-20; II Corinthians 3:17-18) It is through My Holy Spirit that your life becomes a life of joy. It is through My Holy Spirit that you are able to love unconditionally.  It is through My Holy Spirit that you are able to forgive your enemies. It is through My Holy Spirit that you are able to have peace and bring peace to the world. It is through My Holy Spirit in you that I am able to show My kindness and goodness to My other children, your enemies included.  It is through My Holy Spirit's patience in you that I am able to answer your prayers and answer your intercessory prayers for others.  (Galatians 5:22-25)
     The key to Kingdom living in the earth is to change all of your devotions from limited earthly wisdom, limited earthly knowledge, limited earthly love, earthly attitudes, earthly thoughts, attitudes and actions and make My unlimited wisdom, My unlimited knowledge and My unlimited love your motivation, always seeking more of Me and My character.
   The only way to accomplish kingdom living is to seek Me one-on-one, desiring to hear My voice before you hear the voices of anyone in the earth.   As you hear My voice, ingesting My wisdom and knowledge, the truths will set you free from dependence on anyone or anything else who is influenced by the devil in their minds. You will be free to soar with the eagles, above all of the troubles in the world. My Spirit will show you how to become victorious!
    First you must seek the Holy Spirit, then drop from your life everything else that requires your undivided devotion.  Also you must decide to receive My Holy Spirit and give Me your complete devotion through Him.  You are in for a life of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, mercy and patience.  You will feel loved more than you have ever felt loved.  You will have joy unspeakable and full of glory.  You will have peace that passes understanding.  You will be filled with kindness for others.  You will receive blessings galore because it is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom because you took your devotion away from earthly things and I become your Father, the person of your devotion with solutions to all of your problems. 
    Your pearl waits for you until you make the life changing decision to allow My Holy Spirit to be the Lord of your life.  Glorious things await you.
    Your Gracious Father
