My Kingdom.
past. present. future.
My Kingdom was. is. will be. always.
My Kingdom transcends
time and space and definition.
in your humanness so human,
you long to have what is
really an illusion of success
in defining the indefinable.
yet when you 'achieve' this goal,
I am no longer in the kingdom you
believe I am building.
you see, My child, if it were possible
for you or any other human to define
Kingdom, it would no longer be
My Kingdom,
for My Kingdom
is always moving
and shifting and growing
and changing much as a
prism of light reflects
a multitude of colors.
this is not to say that I change,
for I AM the same yesterday,
today,
forever.
yet My Kingdom, as it applies to
and appears to you, My child, is
as elusive as the wind.
My Kingdom will almost always
look and be the exact opposite of
what you picture.
you simply cannot contain
the uncontainable
or put parameters
around the wind of
My Spirit!
My Spirit breathes
the very breath of life into
all that is truly Kingdom.
and Kingdom is you, My child,
along with all those who live in
and for Me and My Kingdom.
Kingdom touches and saves
and redeems and restores and
renews and empowers and is alive,
just as My Son is alive!
so much energy is spent on defining
and defending definitions of Kingdom,
and this saddens My heart.
this is not to say that I do not use
form and structure and building.
I DO!
yet that is not what
defines Me!
again, picture trying to
contain the wind within
four walls, for no matter how
beautiful those walls may be,
they cannot contain the wind.
so take no moment for granted.
when I hand you a vision
a dream
a ministry
run, My child.
run not only
like the wind,
but with the wind.
living, breathing miracles
are in the process of coming
to life
and the brush I use
as I continue to paint Kingdom
on people of every color
of every race
of every status
or category
imaginable,
is a brush as
limitless as
the hand
holding
it.
and that hand is Mine.
those hands are Mine.
and they are the nail-pierced
hands on which innumerable
names are engraved. forever.
so. live. Kingdom.
worry not.
obsess not.
simply live with
eyes wide open and
heart tenderly responsive
in anticipation of where
and how I will use you
to live and breathe
Kingdom detail.
and remember,
My child, that
always you are living Kingdom.
the colors and shapes and
movements and designs
change as My hand
continues to tenderly
brush the strokes of your
heart on the canvas of your life.
Yes and Amen to these great words about the Kingdom. You captured it so well.
