Kingdom living is a life lived under the authority of a king. For us that King is Jesus. His commands are not for our consideration but for our obedience in harmony with His will and His way. The basic meaning of the word Kingdom in the Bible is “reign.” God’s Kingly rule and reign include His actions, His Lordship, and His Sovereign governance (Isaiah 9: 6- 7). 

Philippians 3: 20, in the Amplified Bible, reminds us that we have dual citizenship.  We are citizens of our country of origin and we are citizens of heaven. “But we are different because our citizenship is in heaven and from there, we eagerly await the coming of the savior the Lord Jesus Christ.” 

Luke 17:20-21, in the Living Bible, declares, “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God begin?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God isn’t ushered in with visible signs. 21  You won’t be able to say, ’It has begun here in this place or there in that part of the country.’ For the Kingdom of God is within you."

In Psalm 23:3, KJV), David says, “He restores my soul…”  Restoration denotes giving or receiving something back that was taken or lost; experiencing something again. Restore further means, "to bring back from a state of ruin, decay, or disease, to renew; to recover.

In Psalm 51:12, David the man after God's own heart says, “restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit.” Therefore, for Kingdom Living to become a reality in our churches and community, we must restore God’s Kingly rule and reign. His actions, His Lordship, and His Sovereign governance in the minds and hearts of God’s people (Matthew 22:37-39).
