WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM
Those of you who are new to the kingdom will be excited to know that things are different on this side of the narrow gate. You will need to change your language on this side. No more impossible talk, no more retirement talk, no more planning for sickness, you whole body chemistry is going to change, that is, if you decide to stay.
All of your fear of sickness and dying must cease from this point on. You left your personal agendas on the other side of the gate. You will no longer quote the doctor's prognosis as established fact. You will no longer accept their report as final. There will be no more mention of what your parents and grandparents had, as if you are doomed to repeat it.
You have stepped into the land of divine health and healing. The land of broken curses, and a place where you are never under the circumstances. The kingdom is where all things work together for good, where five loaves feed five thousand. A place where hope, becomes reality on a regular basis. It's a land where everyone runs to the king as the first and only answer, not as a last resort. Where trouble brings you closer to the king not farther away.
On this side of the gate, I set your daily schedule, not you or those around you. Here your steps are ordered, your eyes are fixed, and your focus is locked on My purpose and plan for your life. Here I am always the first consulted, and always have the last word. Walking in authority is as natural as breathing in the kingdom. It demands an inner respect from the world, with no explanation given.
Over here there is no more business as usual. Your attitude will always be submitted to your spirit-man and used as a weapon against the enemy. Your words will pierce the hardest heart, your hands carry healing to the sick, and your words set people free. You will be parent to the orphan and husband to the widow. In the kingdom you are hid in Me, it's no longer about you, it's all about Me.
As you learn to enjoy this new kingdom land, you will soon understand that you are surrounded by My love and protected by My angels. You have a covering and shelter from the arrows that fly by night. You have a shield of faith in Me that strangles every dart of fear and anxiety hurdled at you from hell. You are always above and never beneath from this point on.
There are battles, more often, because you are a foreigner in a hostile world. But there is guaranteed victory in each battle. With each victory comes more rank and authority. Do you think your can adapt to kingdom living, here with Me, the with the King of kings.
Your here now, why don't you stay? I will patiently walk it out with you, and you will see there is no reason to go back into bondage. Stay with me, I love you so much, and no longer want you to suffer needlessly.
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.
Romans 8:33-39 (AMP)
Who shall bring any charge against God''s elect when it is God Who justifies that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us? [34] Who is there to condemn us? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us? [35] Who shall ever separate us from Christ''s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? [36] Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. [38] For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, [39] Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Isaiah 54:17 (AMP)
But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me this is that which I impart to them as their justification, says the Lord.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14 (AMP)
IF YOU will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. [2] And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. [3] Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field. [4] Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock. [5] Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. [6] Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out. [7] The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. [8] The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. [9] The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. [10] And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name and in the presence of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. [11] And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. [12] The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. [13] And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them. [14] And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Matthew 5:3-16 (AMP)
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! [4] Blessed and enviably happy with a happiness produced by the experience of God''s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted! [5] Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth! [6] Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied! [7] Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy! [8] Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous--possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God''s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God! [9] Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God! [10] Blessed and happy and enviably fortunate and spiritually prosperous (in the state in which the born-again child of God enjoys and finds satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of his outward conditions) are those who are persecuted for righteousness'' sake (for being and doing right), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! [11] Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account. [12] Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you. II Chron. 36:16. [13] You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
