In our world today, there exists a great hunger in the human heart for life. It is natural for man to love life and to cling to it.
Beyond our physical life, God’s Word offers a life on a higher level. It is the life given to us through the Kingdom of God.
We “enter the Kingdom” through repentance and surrender to God’s will in our lives. The Kingdom is the rule, the reign, the government of God in this age in the hearts and lives of those who yield their lives to Him.
For His Kingdom rule to come within you, your kingdom rule must go. This is The Upside Down Life. This produces a miraculous transformation.
The kingdom of darkness blinds men, while the Kingdom of light, illuminates them. Kingdom living frees us from fear, anxiety and worry – true upside down living.
Jesus invites us into His Kingdom to take a journey into the life and heart of God.
As we enter this Kingdom, Jesus speaks to, heals, and empowers us individually.
Only by living the Kingdom life, is it possible to understand our life.
We were created to count, to matter, to make a contribution.
Our desire for significance is a sign of who we are and why we are here.
- We are already sons and daughters of God:
I John 3:2 - Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children… - We are being made in His image:
II Corinthians 3:18 (MSG) - And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like Him.
Only as we come to know and experience God and His Kingdom and live by its laws, rules, principles, do we become whole, well, and complete.
