Walking in the Light: Living as Kingdom Citizens

``This type of religion works because it tells you that everything will be alright all in due time. Your life will improve later. And if not here on earth, well, then maybe, hey, when we make it to heaven. And I hear that so much. It's okay if I'm not living out the my very best life here on earth. I'll wait till I make it to heaven. Man, that's a lie from the pit of hell that has creeped into the church, [01:06:57] (28 seconds)  #LiveYourBestNow

Your citizenship is the source of your personal authority where those rights are concerned. You have the power. Check this out. I know people get a little leery about this. Oh, but I love this. You get the power to demand things. There's no weakness here. By the power of your citizenship, you can call in constitutional privileges and promises. I love what it says in Genesis one three. God said, let there be light. And guess what happened? There was light. By his words, he created light came to be. He said it, and light came to be. [01:28:15] (42 seconds)  #ClaimYourCitizenship

So what is a kingdom? What is a kingdom? A kingdom is the governing influence of a king over a territory, impacting that territory with his will, his purpose, and his intent, producing a culture and a moral standard for his citizens. [01:09:13] (20 seconds)  #KingdomInfluence

So the kingdom of darkness has a ruler, and he stands in opposition to the ruler of the kingdom of light. The Hebrew word for darkness is ignorance, and ignorance is what Satan do does best. He loves for us to be children of ignorance, children of darkness. Because, man, he can rule on us. He can play with us. He can knock us down. He could just use us, right, like a yo yo. So bad. But then, the Hebrew word for light is knowledge and that's who god is. Oh, man. When you get into the word of god and you find out who you are and you get this word and this knowledge inside of you, man, you're unstoppable. It's powerful.

The power of being a citizen of heaven. Citizenship empowers an individual. Citizenship provides legit legitimate access to all the rights and privileges of a constitution in a country. Becoming a citizen, especially a citizen of a kingdom such as the kingdom of God, means that you become powerful. You don't get that becoming a citizen here on Earth. But when you become a citizen of the kingdom of God, you become a powerful person. [01:27:44] (31 seconds)  #HeavenlyCitizenship

Anybody who claims Christ as savior becomes a citizen of the kingdom of God, but too many are unaware of the powerful truth. They consider their faith to be religion, not citizenship, and they don't realize that it should be making the difference in every detail of their personal earthly lives. You cannot see citizenship. You have to come to a place where you experience it. In the same way that you cannot see the kingdom of god, but you must be in the place where you experience it.

So when you serve under a king in the kingdom, you have the power to dominate your territory and to manage your assignment. What happens when you lose your position and you are no longer serving under this king in a kingdom? You're still a manager, but you are deprived of what you were managing. You have no purpose anymore, and you latch on onto whatever makes you feel comfortable. You are no longer dominating over your problems and situations, and maybe only partially in charge of the challenges around them. This is where religion comes into the picture.

In every area of our lives. How can we expect our children to be blessed, healthy, prosperous, and victorious in every area of our lives if we are not walking it, if we are not living it? And that's the reason why it starts with us. It starts with us. Why do we choose to live any less than what Jesus has provided for us? Hallelujah. Religion postpones your heaven reality to the future. It makes itself very attractive because it helps you accept things as they are when you feel you have lost control over your circumstances.
