Kingdom Living is living by God’s commandments, principles, laws, and realities. It is living according to what He says and does, either in His Word or what He says personally to you.
This is Kingdom living!
“I am the Lord and King, ask for My permission on what to do and how to do it! Then do what I say! Submit to Me! This is Kingdom Living! Model it to others; the world is watching!
Jesus is our example; we are to do what Jesus done physically on earth before His physical death. He taught the Word, preach the Kingdom of God, healed others, and cast out demons.
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all sort of diseases among the people. 24 His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought Him all sick people who were taken with various diseases and tormented with pain, those who were possessed with demons, those who had seizures, and those who had paralysis, and He healed them.
We are able to live in the Kingdom of God through the righteous of Jesus because of His obedience and through His blood.
Romans 3:22 This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all and upon all who believe, for there is not distinction.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man’s trespass death through him, then how much more will those who believe abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore just as through the trespass of one man came condemnation for all men, so through the righteous act of One came justification of life for all men. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the obedience One the many will be made righteous, 20 But the law entered, so that sin might increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded much more, 21 so that just as sin reigned in death, grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 10:4 Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness for every one who believes.
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him Who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Philippians 3:8 Yes, certainly, I count everything as loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for Whom I have forfeited the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that I may gain Christ, 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God on the basis of faith, 10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death, 11 if somehow I might make it to the resurrection of the dead.
Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; The Eternal One; the Messiah; the Christ.
Revelation 19:16 On His robe and on His thigh He has a Name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
Revelation 17:14 These will wage war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful.
1 Timothy 6:14 …until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He, Who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will revel at the proper time.
John 1:41 He (Andrew) first found his own brother Simon (Peter), and said to him, We have found the Messiah (which means the Christ). 42 Then he brought him to Jesus.
John 4:25 The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, (Who is called Christ). When He comes, He will tell us all things. 26 Jesus said to her, I Who speaks to you am He.
Man does not live on bread (food) alone but rather man lives on the Word of God (Scriptures) that has a Divine life-force; this Word is Jesus.
Matthew 4:4 But He answered, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Luke 4:4 Jesus answered him, It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.”
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were created through Him, and without Him nothing was created that was created. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. 5 The Light shines in darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it. … 9 The true Light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was created through Him, yet the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. 12 Yet to all who received Him, He gave the power to become sons of God to those who believed in His Name, 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
The two Laws = Commandments that Jesus gave us
1) Love God with all heart, soul, spirit, strength, mind
2) Love others as self
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Mark 12:29 Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. 30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. 31 The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God. The Lord is one! 5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 These words, which I am commanding your today, shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Leviticus 19:18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
I am the King who lives through you. You no longer exist as Shana; you only exist as a vessel for Me! This is the Kingdom Reality! This is what it means to truly live! Living within the spiritual realm while still in the physical realm.
The Reality is a believer does not belong to himself once he repents; he belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. He was bought by the price of Jesus’ Blood; His sacrifice. Jesus is now his Lord and King over his spirit, but the believer also must give control of his soul, mind, and body to Jesus. This is a daily struggle!
This is what it meant by denying yourself and take up your cross: Deny your control daily and give it to Me. What do I want you to do today, what to eat or drink, what to say, how to dress, what to think; I should have control of things daily! Not just when you want to give them to Me. You should wake up and ask what I want to do today. Then listen and I will tell you! Then DO what I say to do!!!!
Let Me show the world who I am through you; This is Kingdom Living! Let Me show My compassion and love for others; My grace and mercy; My joy and happiness; My goodness. I show Myself through you as the Father showed Himself through Me. If you see Me, you have seen the Father. Likewise, if they see you as My disciple then they will see Me.
If I am the Lord to you THEN you must ask what I WANT to do every second of the day! It is no longer you that is living in your body. It is ME!!
This is Kingdom Living!
Then do what I, the Lord God, wants without question! No doubting! This is Kingdom Living!
I want to tell you that I love you; I love the world; all mankind!! They pulled away from Me not the other way around. Seek Me and then find Me!
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.
Seeking God and then finding Him in His Word is the first thing toward Kingdom Living. But when we follow His Lordship and do the things that He says, we are living in His Kingdom under His Lordship.
