The Kingdom

The Kingdom

There is no way to transform our selfish thought process to comprehend what it means to be Kingdom Minded, outside of a dynamic, personal Prayer Life. Remember back when you first gave your heart to Jesus and your time with Him was the most awesome time of your day. It was during those times that the Lord would speak to you and you were so childlike that you were only seeking Him to learn more about Him. It was during those times that your heart, being in the presence of God, was being transformed into a heart, mindful of the Kingdom. But as we continue to walk out this Christian life, our prayer life begins to be diluted from dynamically seeking the face of God, for who He is... to seeking the hand of God for what He can give. This is a ploy of the devil to get you to slide back into your selfishness. It is evidenced in the fact that your prayer life has been reduced to simply praying over the contents of your prayer list and will eventually result in you praying the prayer of fear (please God, don't let this happen), instead of the Prayer of Faith that brings about miracles.

There is nothing that takes the place of your personal prayer life, seeking the face of God, just to learn more about Him. It is in those times, just as in the beginning, that God will transform our thinking, in an ever-increasing way, to become Kingdom Minded. Isn't this what Jesus taught us to ask for, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, just like it is in heaven"?   "Seek first the Kingdom, God and His righteousness and THEN all these things will be added to you".
