EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT
A woman with child is in a very delicate state. Her whole way of living is different, she thinks different, she walks different, talks different, sleeps different, eats different, drinks different, sits different, and her habits are different.
Everything in her life is focused on protecting the life she is carrying inside her. Not one moment goes by, that some part of her live is not drastically different. Those around her are careful for as well. "Let me help you with that", is heard a hundred times over. All emphasis in her life, for 9 months, is bringing the baby to full term, and delivering a healthy child.
The father to be, is equally changed in attitude and lifestyle. He becomes extremely protective and overshadowing of both the baby and mother. His future, his name, his joy and his investments, are all inside her womb. No one dare cause her to stumble and fall or they will experience his wrath.
By now, you are seeing the similarities to you birthing My kingdom in the earth. You are carrying My kingdom within you the moment you say," not my will be done, but thine". These are the words that germinate the seed of the kingdom that was placed in you the day of your new birth. From that point on, everything in your life changes drastically.
Everyone that calls on My name, and receives My forgiveness of sin, is heaven bound. However, I am searching for those who will make a way, for Me to be earth bound. Those who will fertilize the seed of the kingdom, with the surrendering of their will, that My kingdom can be established in the earth. There is a noticeable difference in the two levels of commitment, both are heaven bound, but only one, allows Me to be earth bound.
Kingdom people, talk, walk, eat, sleep, think and live differently. All your habits and plans change. Everything in your life will be focused on carrying the life of the kingdom to full term, that My will may be done in earth as it is in heaven. The value of the persons is the same, the cost (the life of My son) was the same and the same price was paid for both. I paid the price for you to gain access to heaven, now someone must pay the price for Me to gain legal access to earth.
I am no respecter of persons but I am a respecter of commitment. The faith, love and devotion it takes to establish My kingdom in the earth is much greater than the faith needed to be born again. I gave My life for you to come to heaven, but you must give yours for My kingdom to come on earth.
There are many who carry the salvation seed for a while and either abort or have a miscarriage. There are also many who desire to establish the kingdom but will not make the commitment. Their time for Me is limited, I have limited access to their finances and assets. They have called on Me to save them, the have received My forgiveness but beyond that everything is limited, by their will. The action of the will is the total difference between a saved person and a kingdom person.
Kingdom people are less frustrated because I have revealed the bigger picture to them. They have more of My attention because they are doing My will. My will is to do on earth as I do in heaven. These have chosen to help Me do this so My respect of their commitment is greater.
Every born again person is eligible to be a kingdom person by a simple act of their will. The simple choice of giving your will to Me, does it. The choice means death to your lower, temporary, self life and taking on My higher, permanent God life. I have made a way for you to enter heaven, now will you make a way for Me to enter earth and answer My sons prayer. "Father, not will will be done, but thine be done on earth, as it is in heaven".
Luke 17:20-21 (KJV)

2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

Mark 4:2-8,14-20 (AMP)
And He taught them many things in parables (illustrations or comparisons put beside truths to explain them), and in His teaching He said to them: [3] Give attention to this! Behold, a sower went out to sow. [4] And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. [5] Other seed of the same kind fell on ground full of rocks, where it had not much soil; and at once it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil; [6] And when the sun came up, it was scorched, and because it had not taken root, it withered away. [7] Other seed of the same kind fell among thorn plants, and the thistles grew and pressed together and utterly choked and suffocated it, and it yielded no grain. [8] And other seed of the same kind fell into good (well-adapted) soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing, and yielded up to thirty times as much, and sixty times as much, and even a hundred times as much as had been sown. [14] The sower sows the Word. [15] The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown in their hearts, but when they hear, Satan comes at once and by force takes away the message which is sown in them. [16] And in the same way the ones sown upon stony ground are those who, when they hear the Word, at once receive and accept and welcome it with joy; [17] And they have no real root in themselves, and so they endure for a little while; then when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Word, they immediately are offended (become displeased, indignant, resentful) and they stumble and fall away. [18] And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word; [19] Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless. [20] And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit--some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some even a hundred times as much.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV)
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Luke 18:29-30 (AMP)

Matthew 7:13-14 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
