As we glorify and honor our Lord and Savior’s birth, we experience God's love knowing that Jesus’ birth is Kingdom Truth. Throughout 2018, “The Year of Kingdom Living,” in our personal times of repenting, praying, being still, hearing, speaking, trusting, believing, shifting, and moving by His Word, we’re understanding more and more that victory truly belongs to Jesus, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (Rom. 14:17)
As we press in more deeply to sit at His feet and hear His Word, I’m reminded of many nuggets of Truth we’ve studied. As we continue growing and walking with Him to live Kingdom, may our lives reflect His love to help encourage and edify one another:
Be about the Father’s business for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matt. 3:1-3)
Live, move and have our being in God’s Kingdom. This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. (Ps. 118:23)
Don’t let the world turn our personal cross into chaos. Take up our own Kingdom Cross by way of (conviction, repentance, obedience, shifting & standing) and follow Him. (Matt. 16:24)
Be still enough to begin hearing what He says. Kingdom hearing connects us with the truth of our Shepherd’s heart. (Deut. 6:4-5)
Seek first the Kingdom of God. Serve the King. Love the King. If we only seek His hand and not His heart, we’ll miss His Kingdom. (Matt. 6:33)
Don’t discredit what God can do based on what we see. He’s already established His covenant! (Daniel 3:23-25)
Be content and submit to the call of His Kingdom Truth even before we get to the battles. (Phil. 4:11)
Go after the Kingdom of God; go after HIS Word. Only Kingdom Truth prepares us to fight the good fight of faith. (1 Tim. 6:11-12)
Don’t be stagnant. Jesus is our personal tutor; His name is JESUS. We must walk in our Truth-identity with the authority God's given us. (2 Tim. 2:15)
Live Kingdom. Our praise will get us positioned for victory when violence confronts us. (Matt. 11:12)
