words in season

📖 Matthew 6:6-13

▶️Who is He giving to? 

Us - His Body, the ecclesia, the called out ones

📖 John 1:12-13

📖 1 Peter 1:23

📖 Romans 8:15-17 

📖 1 Corinthians 2:16

📖 1 Corinthians 12:26

We are connected and that is why the devil is trying to isolate us. He knows if we become a united Body working together for the faith if the Gospel the Church is an unstoppable force. 

Praying " On earth as it is in heaven..."

▶️ Living from this perspective, realigns my priorities

▶️ Feeds my faith. (What I ate yesterday will become my fuel I use today.)

▶️ Encourages my hope. 

▶️ Keeps my heart ❤️ tender to hear His voice, His plan about people. 📖 2 Peter 3:9, Jude 23

▶️ Compels me to not live satisfied with how I know God now…

“I am satisfied with the dissatisfaction that never rests until it is satisfied and satisfied again.”

— Smith Wigglesworth

📖John 14:1-2 - Jesus is there building our eternal dwelling 

📖Philippians 3:20-21 MSG - new bodies

📖 What does the Bible say about heaven? 

📖Luke 10:18-20, Philippians 4:3, Revelation 21:27- There is a book 📖 in heaven 

When I drink from His cup, I am able to see His harvest & His best for me.

📖 Mark 1:40-43

📖 Hebrews 5:8

Jesus didn’t allow the suffering to be a filter to change His view of the Father, His purpose or the people He was went to. 

“Thy will be done…”

Praying these words with a pure heart (📖 Psalm 51:10-12) takes strength, humility and surrender.

Reasons why this makes my flesh squirm:

God is a Father, not a formula. 

This King gives us our identity. 

📖 Colossians 3:1-3

📖 Ephesians 1:4-5

📖 Romans 8:14-16

This King gave us the authority to reign over the enemy. 

📖 Exodus 19:5-6

📖 1 Peter 2:9

This King is seated in our future home and is coming back again to take us to Him. 

📖John 14:18

The times I get disappointed & distracted from my mission on earth, it’s because I have forgotten what the Kingdom looks like.

❌👑 when I start trying to live my life the natural world system and not where I’m from…

❌👑when I start putting “worldly” standards of timeline, success, worth 

❌👑when I start putting what the King is able to do in earthly terms (God in a box)

❌👑 not Kara’s kingdom come (My flesh wants controllable, containable & comfortable.)

What is a kingdom without a King? 

📖 Revelation 19:16

👑 Historically, the role of the monarch was to maintain the peace of the realm, oversee the administration of justice, and to uphold the rule of law in the land.

🇬🇧 Currently, The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity & unity…; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognizes success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.

In all these roles The Sovereign is supported by members of their immediate family. 📖 2 Corinthians 5:20 - US 🙌🏻

How can I say with confidence “Thy Kingdom Come” if I’ve never been there?

📖 Luke 17:20-21 - within us 

📚 Ephesians 1:3 - is mine, it’s yours, it’s ours 

Something we learn from the Word & Spirit…something we can develop with others.

📖 Matthew 18:18-20

📖 John 6:63

No condemnation, the Bible is progressive revelation…for all eternity.

The revelation of the Word that I am living my life by is the direct proportion to the amount of Kingdom being reflected in my life. 

🔹 Gives me a chance to repent/humble myself so He won’t have to 

📖 1 Samuel 24:5 - even when he was “justified” by societal standards, he feared God more than man 

🔹Sets my pace & standard of work 

📖 Colossians 3:22-24

What Fear of the Lord is not -
