There is a Kingdom that has always been, and will always be. It is found in the heart of Jehovah God who has no beginning or end. He lives in eternity, and rules over all that exist. Before time began, before you were born, God had an eternal purpose for your life. The only way to find and fulfill this eternal purpose is through a relationship with The Eternal King, Jesus Christ. This blog is about The Eternal King and His Kingdom. It is about how you can be part of His Kingdom by having a relationship with Him, and fulfilling His eternal purpose for you.

Listen and Hear!!!


Rita’s thoughts

 Listen and Hear - We "listen" constantly. We have TV, music, conversations always going. But do we take the time to "hear". There are times it is good to be silent - as we drive or work or rest - and listen to what God has to say. It's not necessary to meditate and sit still. Just be silent and hear. He wants to talk to us.

Whose doing it God or you?

Rita’s thoughts

 God can't use you if you are using yourself.  If you are not letting God work through you, you are trying to do the work in your own power.

Are You in Sync with God?


            We have a program on our computers called Drop Box.  It is used to synchronize the things we work on together.  Synchronization is the coordination of events so a system operates in unison.  If we are not connected to Drop Box, then we cannot synchronize what we’re doing, and we will not be in unison as we work on things.

            It is the same in the spiritual.  The world is out of sync with God because of mans disobedience to God’s Word.  God calls this sin.  Difficulties and challenges are part of living in an imperfect, sinful world.  If we are in sync with God, He will give us wisdom and strength to overcome the difficulties and challenges we face.  Getting in sync with God begins with trusting in Jesus’ redeeming work on The Cross with all our heart. We stay connected to Him by keeping our heart totally surrendered to Jesus every day.   As we spend time in the Word and prayer He will keep us in sync with Him and lead us by His Holy Spirit.  Our obedience to The Holy Spirit enables us to live in unison with God and fulfill His purpose for our lives no matter what comes our way.  Staying in sync with God will enable us to live a victorious life and hear Jesus say “well done” when we finish our journey.

QUESTION:  Is your life in sync with God?

Scripture reference: John 15:5

DECISIONS THAT DEFINE HOW YOU'RE SEEKING THE KINGDOM


This list came from a group of believers in California:

DECISIONS THAT DEFINE US
We've made and listed below some decisions that reflect the state of our hearts and the reality we're establishing in our community. We believe these decisions are prompted by the Holy Spirit, and we are so happy to see them applied in the Kingdom. As you read, we want to make sure you understand the context. These decisions are in no way a criticism of any church or denominational movement - they are an articulation of who we have chosen to be, and the path we've decided to follow.
Here are the Decisions that Define Us:
·       We have decided that teaching the Gospel without demonstrating the Gospel is not enough. Good preaching, good doctrine, and being good people is not enough.
·       We have decided that having a good church club is not enough, good fellowship is not enough, and just being a member of that club is not enough.
·       We have decided that having good Bible studies is good, but not good enough, that just making it to heaven is not our goal, and that knowing about God without truly knowing and experiencing God is meaningless.
·       We have decided that having good programs is not enough; that change without transformation is intolerable, and that staying the same is not an option.
·       We have decided that gifting without character is futile.
·       We have decided that singing songs without worshiping is shallow and having meetings without God showing up is pointless.
·       We have decided that having faith without works is not enough and having works without love is not acceptable - that our function comes out of our relationship first with the Father and second with each other.
·       We have decided that reading about the book of Acts without living the book of Acts is unthinkable.
·       We have decided that confident faith is good and bold faith is better.
·       We have decided that hearing about the Holy Spirit without experiencing Him is silly.
·      That believing in His presence without seeing it manifested in signs and wonders is hypocrisy, that believing in healing without seeing people healed is absurd, and that believing in deliverance without people being delivered is absolutely ridiculous.
·       We have decided to be Holy Spirit filled, Holy Spirit led, and Holy Spirit empowered - anything less doesn't work for us.
·       We have decided to be the ones telling the stories of God's power - not the ones hearing about them.
·       We have decided that living saved, but not supernatural is living below our privilege and short of what Christ died for.
·       We have decided that we are a battle ship not a cruise ship, an army, not an audience; special forces not spectators, missionaries not club members.
·       We have decided to value both pioneers and settlers - pioneers to expand our territory and settlers to build on those territories - but we are not squatters - people who take up space others have fought for without improving it.
·       We have decided to be infectious instead of innocuous, contagious instead of quarantined, deadly instead of benign.
·       We have decided to be radical lovers and outrageous givers.
·       We have decided that we are a mission station and not a museum:

Therefore:
    1. We honor the past - we don't live in it.
    2. We live in the present with our eyes on the future.
    3. We see past events - successes and failures - as stepping-stones not stop signs.
    4. We pursue learning in order to be transformed, not learning in order to know.
    5. We are people of engagement not observation.
    6. We focus on what could be, not on what is or has been.
    7. We are not limited to the four walls of this building. Our influence is not restricted by location -  not even the nations are out of bounds.
    8. We are more concerned about how many we send out into the world than how many we convince to come into the building. This building is meant to be filled and it will be - but it will not be the measure of who we are or the measure of our effectiveness.
    9. We raise up world changers - not tour guides. We train commandos, not committees.
    10. We are a people of our destiny, not of our history.
·       We have decided that it is better to fail while reaching for the impossible that God has planned for us than succeed settling for less.
·       We have decided that nothing short of His Kingdom come, His will be done in our world as it is in Heaven will satisfy.
·       We have decided that we will not be satisfied until our world freaks out and cries out "Those who have turned the world upside down have come here too."
