What Is Kingdom Living?

Picture
We often speak of Kingdom living, but some may wonder exactly what that means. Simply put, Kingdom living is living according to the Lord God’s Constitution. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit and you are obeying the leading of our Governor—the Holy Spirit—you cannot go wrong. The rights and benefits spoken of in His Constitution are available to you! Kingdom living is walking by faith. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 Ambassador Paul said that we are at home in our bodies; meaning while we are living in this body until He calls us to be with Him.  Notice that he never stated that heaven is our home. When ambassador Paul states “we walk by faith and not by sight” he is saying that we trust the Lord God with our very lives. That is Kingdom living!
 
Kingdom living isn’t following a bunch of religious rituals, laws and traditions, but power in the Governor—the Holy Spirit. It is walking in the King’s protection while we are on this earth.  It is only through the Holy Spirit that we can truly walk by faith and give the Lord God the glory in every part of our life—finances, health and healing. He wants all the glory for everything in our lives. This is why we should go to the King for all our needs. Your faith in the Lord God should always be first and foremost when you need assistance in this world. If we truly believe that God’s Word is truth and that God is not a man so He cannot lie, how can we ever doubt Him? If you get ill and feel under attack by the enemy you should always go to the Father and King in the name of King Jesus. He fulfills His Word for His glory.  Do you recall what the Lord God stated to Isaiah? I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. Isaiah 42:8 For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen. Romans 11:36 NLT
 
Keep this in mind, if you put King Jesus first, the Lord God will put you first. Do not put mankind before the Lord God. I will rescue you for My sake—yes, for My own sake! I will not let My reputation be tarnished, and I will not share My glory with idols! Isaiah 48:11 NLT
 
This is Kingdom living; totally trusting and putting your faith in the Lord God in Jesus’ name. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:34  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14 Do you believe the Lord God’s Word is true? Have faith in His Word!
 
When you are a Kingdom citizen in good standing with the King, the Governor—Holy Spirit—will guide you throughout your life, as He has mine. A religious mind doesn’t understand Kingdom teaching because they have been taught by others who have a religious mindset. Kingdom living is all about focusing on one person, our King. While He was on this earth, He made this statement:  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
 
The Holy Spirit will guide you and use you in all you do, as you submit to His Will. Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. John 14:10 It is our Governor—the Holy Spirit—who does the work.
 
Kingdom living is living in His benefits and promises told in His Constitution.  As we know, the Lord God is not a man and He cannot lie. If He promised it in His Constitution, it will come to pass in His perfect timing. Have faith and do not doubt! David reminds us of His benefits.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:  Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
 
The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. Psalm 103:2-10
 
Praise the Lord, everything He has created, everything in all His Kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord! Psalm 103:22 NLT

 
Kingdom living is living by His Word and His Spirit.  His Word will speak to your need, your prayer. Find your scriptures and stand in faith on that Word.
 
Kingdom living has no lack. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 NLT  I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned or his descendants begging for bread. Psalm 37:25 AMP
 
Remember, it is your faith in the Lord God’s Word that is your greatest asset in the Kingdom and the key to Kingdom living.
