Thy Kingdom Come (17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2nd Corinthians 5:17 KJV So many today do not understand this simple spiritual logic of being a new creature with a new kingdom with a new regime of righteousness which involves the principles, precepts, and protocols of God’s word. His word is at war with the mentality of the world, why? Because it does not agree with the mindset or dynamics of the world’s wisdom including it’s unbiblical ethics, principles, precepts, & protocols. As Christians, we in opposition to the ungodly and the unbiblical where faith & common sense are often opposing dynamics! As Christians we are to adorn ourselves with a Christian World View seeing the world through the lens of the Spirit of God and the Truth of His Word. This is what is meant by “ old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new “. We have come into the Kingdom for such a time as this to break the mold of dead religiosity and rekindle the flames of revival and true Kingdom living. It has never been God’s intention for the Offices and Gifts to dissipate into obscurity, why? Because they are the adhesive which bonds the body together and brings forth the fruits of edification “ kingdom building “ , souls “ evangelism “, and the miraculous “ manifestations “. Do we really live like we are living in the Kingdom? It’s a fair question, how do you think the world would look today if Christians were not so inundated with the world’s mentality and philosophies? If every Christian was truly sold out to God and walked in the newness of their transformation, if they truly let old things pass away and allow all things to become new. The model prayer, “ Our Father which art in Heaven thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven “ is suppose to usher us into the mindset of Kingdom living not Earthly living, of Kingdom Building not Earthly Building. I told someone the other day our life is but a vapor, to be seem for a moment of time and then dissipates into non-earthly existence. It is only, I emphasize those things which we have done in the perfect will of God that will follow us into eternity. This is why a revitalization of Kingdom Living is a necessity. Because when our focus is primarily upon what we can build for ourselves, then we’ve left an intimate relationship with the Father no longer listening to Him, but listening to the dictates of the flesh, and the Job comforters of this world, who have an earthly image to maintain, not a Kingdom strategy to enact. Where are the Spiritual Warriors who warfare against the forces of darkness on their knees and in their actions? Where are those who seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness? Where are those who seek the Kingdom to Come with all their heart, mind, body, soul, and strength? Let me say this; our hope, our deliverance, our provision is all included within the perfect will of God. Therefore I trust God to make a way for me through utilizing the gifts, and the calling upon my life. This is the way we all should live. Living for Jesus and the Kingdom of God is pressing for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus; period. Anything less than a 100% is compromise! We are called to change the world, not allow the world to change us. Selah! Shalom & Agape! Apostle Ritchie
