Priority That Transforms

Priority That Transforms

From the knowledge of the Kingdom is to proceed all other teachings. When we start where God started and where He sent Jesus to start as regards the establishment of God's government of peace among man, even within him, then we become more qualified to advance the Kingdom first with Jesus central message and then the doctrines that support God's royal rule, dominion, authority and active rule in man.

I've often said that the Epistles are our constitution that teach us the laws, commandments, precepts and principles of our Kingdom citizenship from heaven though we are in the earth, and the fruit of the Spirit are the character of Christ and the gifts of the Spirit are the power of Christ.

I'll tell you, when it comes to all this divergent theology many espouse, dispensationalism, preterist, futurist, historist, etc... without having first made God's Kingdom and righteousness our priority to the degree of taking up the [same] message, mission, motive, manner and method of Jesus could very well mean that all we've been doing is continuing the same sin of Adam in continuing to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and dying spiritually while thinking we are alive, instead of allowing ourselves to be brought up as Jesus was, on a diet of butter and honey so that we like Jesus, would know to refuse the evil and choose the good. Genesis 2:16-17; Isaiah 7:14-15.

I say this because "mere" Bible knowledge puffs up, while knowledge of the Kingdom of God can only successfully be learned by a humble submission to Jesus [again], which leads to a resulting re-transformation if you will, or much like being Born Again, again and calls for such a brokenness because you are in awe that out of nearly 7 billion people on the planet God chose you and others to advance His Kingdom, be the repairer of the preach, the restorer of paths to dwell in, and that you would be the Ambassador and His son/daughter of the Most High God. One type of knowledge puffs you up and the other breaks you down but builds you up.
