Kingship Transforming the Culture How to influence the current culture with Kingdom culture When Jesus departed the earth approximately 2000 years ago, He left the early believers with instructions on how to continue the work He started here. The instructions are as follows:

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

19

When Jesus said to go to all nations, He told us to infiltrate the different cultures in those nations to teach, influence, and impact those cultures with the Kingdom culture that He taught about. In other words, transform society. However, a surface look at the way of the world today is indicative of the fact that believers have not done a good job at that mandate and thereby become irrelevant to our present society.

What is Culture? Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people that make them distinct and is defined by everything from language, religion, food, social habits or norms, or music. Culture also is a set of enduring values that shape a belief system of a particular group of people which in turn influences their attitudes and drives their actions. Thoughts become beliefs, which become attitudes which translates into actions and collective action becomes a culture.

Every area we can think of has a “culture” so to speak. There is a culture in politics and government, a culture in business and economics, a culture in arts and entertainment, and other areas of society. God’s idea was to infiltrate and influence these cultures with the Kingdom culture until the kingdoms (cultures) of this world have become the kingdoms (cultures) of our Lord and His Christ (Revelation 11:15).

Before Jesus left He gave us specific instructions to help us continue what He started which was the advancement of Kingdom culture. He told us:



Where to go: the world



Who to go to: the different cultures of the world

 What to do: preach the gospel of the Kingdom to them and then teach them everything Jesus taught about the Kingdom

Why we must do it: because the harvest is ripe and ready (Matthew 9:37) and 

 When to do: today – now is the accepted day salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2) The only thing He didn’t say was HOW to do it because the how is based on which ever method is relevant for that current generation.

Each generation requires a certain amount of innovation and creativity in order to make the message of Jesus and the Kingdom relevant to the culture with the ultimate goal of transforming it to look more like heaven.

So if we want to be effective and efficient in engaging and ultimately transforming the current culture, we have to follow the example of someone who was able to do that effortlessly and what better example to follow than that of Jesus himself? How did Jesus influence culture?

How did Jesus’ Kingdom culture impact others? How did He train His disciples on how to influence culture? How do we become more relevant to the world as a body where the world begins to take us and our message seriously? Let us take a look at how Jesus influenced the culture in three steps:

Jesus was not afraid of the culture, he engaged the culture Jesus went everywhere and spoke with all types of people: rich, poor, cheaters, prostitutes, and the diseased. He adapted to fit their culture but He never conformed to their values. Everywhere Jesus went, He was focused on what He had to do while being mindful of who He was dealing with. Jesus inspired people to become better and He did that through His ability to be relatable to the culture. If people cannot relate with you, they will not be inspired by you.

Transforming the Culture - continued from page 6

Jesus never went looking for confrontation but when it came He didn’t run from it.

It was never Jesus’ intention to start pointless debates about the law and religion but yet people always came to Him to test Him. What I admire most about Jesus is that He never backed down from their challenges and He always responded with the Word. I believe seeing Jesus do this time after time is what inspired the Apostle Peter to write that we must “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).

Kingship Get your copy now in any bookstore or online!

Jesus started the first Kingdom “re-hab” program (Luke 4:16-19).

To rehabilitate means to restore someone to a normal life. Jesus always preached deliverance to people and let them know that their sins were forgiven them so that they could move on in the newness of Kingdom life. Jesus never condemned anybody and we should not either. The ability to rehab the culture means that we must be open and adaptable enough to engage the culture without compromise.

I believe the reason the church seems to be falling behind in the quest for societal transformation is because they giving people what they want instead of what they need. If we as a Kingdom culture are to get back in the race, we have to figure out how to give people what they need (Jesus Christ and His Kingdom) in the way that they want it (a method that is relevant to their culture). That is why I am thankful for guys like Lecrae and Steph Curry who are making the culture of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom relevant to the cultures of hip hop and athletics respectively. They are two examples of what it means to give people what they need in the way that they want it.

❝ Jesus never condemned anybody and we should not either. ❞

God is concerned about the advancement of His Kingdom’s culture in the earth. When we understand this, we place ourselves in a better position to become an impactful influence in our generation and immediate societies. Thereby transforming the cultures around us with the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven. ✽

Change and Become!

When I think of topics like change and transformation,

I often think of the words that Paul wrote referring to the mind. In his letter to the Romans (12:2), Paul invites believers not to let themselves be conformed to the standards of this world, rather to keep letting themselves be transformed by the renewing of their minds. So that they will know, what God wants and will agree that what He wants is good, satisfying and able to succeed. Many say that this is what Yeshua was saying at the beginning of His public ministry, when he was exhorting people to change their mind (Mt. 4, 17).They say this taking as a basis for their point that that Greek word “metanoiete” that is used there, means to change mind or way of thinking. However, it is more appropriate to go back to the original language of Yeshua to educe the original sense of His words. The Jewish concept the Greek word “metanoiete” is expressed in the Jewish word “t’shuvah”(turning, returning), which in our context refers to behavior and means “turning” from one’s course of conduct and “returning” to God, behaving according to His instructions on righteousness (Torah). Therefore, while the Greek leads us to the mere concept of mind seen as a thinking agency, the Hebrew points out to a behavior that starts from a change of one’s heart and passing through a decisional process.

Let us find out more about what Yeshua meant. I suggest looking closer at three passages of the Scriptures.

In Mt. 18:1-3 the disciples asked Yeshua, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” He called a child to him, stood among them, and said, “Yes! I tell you that unless you change and become like little children, you will not even enter the Kingdom of Heaven! So the greatest in the Kingdom is whoever makes himself as humble as this child”.

❝ Come to me all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. ❞

Moreover, in Matt. 5 we read that happy are the poor in spirit, referring to those who have a humble, dependent, vulnerable attitude of poor people, even if they happen to be rich.

Finally, in Mt. 11:28-30 Yeshua said, “Come to me all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am meek, and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”.

Thus, Yeshua teaches us that in order to enter and become great in His Kingdom we need to go through a process of change, which involves the condition of our heart. Children are humble and such humility is the condition required by Yeshua for any kind of change in our behavior.

He said of himself that he is meek and humble in heart and that this was why we may learn from him how to do the will of God (this is what it means to “take the yoke” of the Torah). Our Messiah said that if we learn from Him and conform our heart to His, then our souls would be at peace. Here is where we are able to let ourselves be transformed in our mind, to think, feel, decide and behave according to God’s will.

I believe that the meek and humble condition of Yeshua’s own heart goes hand in hand with the action of the Holy Spirit, which inspired him through fearing God himself (Is. 11:2-3). The change of one’s heart is the work of the Holy Spirit, as only through His power, we can be sanctified and totally commit our lives to God. As Paul said, only the Holy Spirit can change us into His very image, from one degree of glory to the next (2 Cor. 3:18).

Change does not start in the mind, rather in the heart. It is a matter of character, not of concepts. Of attitude, not of reasoning. Of love, not of mental assent. It is based on fearing God, not on making efforts to conform His standards.

Only a humble attitude enables us to always more and more decide to allow the Holy Spirit to change the inner character of our heart. Then we become who we are: children of God, created in his very image, destined to be great in his Kingdom! ✽

TRANSITION TO EMERGE ANYONE who is in transition and is at the point of emerging is an Agent of Change.

Shamron Munroe A woman who has given birth to her firstborn child is enveloped with joy; a rock climber is thrilled because he has reached the peak; a soul that has left its earthly suit has entered a resting place full of peace. The woman, the climber and the soul have experienced every human’s desire and that is to Transition to Emerge.

The word transition is both a noun and a verb and at some point in our lives we must begin to transition. As a noun the word transition means a process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. As a verb transition means to cause to undergo a process or period of transition. The word transition being used as a verb suggests that YOU are responsible for your personal achievements. You are the element and the key person that will cause you to Transition to Emerge; therefore, you must undergo the transitional process.

The word emerge is linked to the transitional process. It is impossible to emerge without transitioning; and anyone who is about to transition and is without limitations will inevitably emerge.

Emerge is defined as follows:

 To become known  To be regarded as something  To rise or appear from a hidden or

unknown place or condition

 To come out into view

You have within your DNA the genetic coding to shine like the star that you are.You are genetically coded to Emerge.

Shamron Munroe Keys to Transition:



Teachable

Everyone has a purpose; however, not everyone knows their reason for existence. Knowing why you exist is the key to your advancement and this only happens when you are teachable. A teachable person submits to the teaching, mentoring and discipline of the teacher, mentor, or disciplinary. We all have innate potential but, without appropriate knowledge from qualified people we would not be able to obtain success.

On November 2014 I received the knowledge of who my biological father was after twenty nine (29) years.

Instead of rejecting this information and refusing to hear anything pertaining to it, I chose to receive the information and I now have a growing relationship with my biological father where I am receiving words of wisdom and godly advice. Knowing who my biological father is has added value to my life, and being teachable has allowed me to embrace this new situation favorably.

Being teachable allows you to transition to live an Epic life.

Shamron Munroe



Relationship

A teachable person must be taught by a teacher and this equates to a relationship. Relationships are one of our most valuable resources and the people in them should never be mistreated or taken for granted.

A relationship is a real situation with people on a journey together called Life.

Shamron Munroe Everyone in life faces a situation that leads them on a journey to discovering who they really are. All of

Shamron L. Munroe www.facebook.com/shamronmusgrove shamrockmusgrove@hotmail.com

mankind has within them gifts, talents, ideas and abilities that others may not have. This uniqueness makes relationships so special. Once we realize that everyone is significant and has value we would interact with them with great appreciation and admiration. Moreover, being in the presence of an individual presents various potential scenarios. For instance, meeting a businessman for the first time may present the following: Immediately disregard him, learn something about his business, gain a business partner or form a friend-ship.

The term ship means you are going somewhere together. Neighboring nations may be seen as a situation on a ship. By sharing similar goals of serving the people, building the people and providing the best resources for the people, nations may develop friendly relationships.

Everyone on planet earth needs Relationships.

Shamron Munroe



Attitude

Your attitude is the motivation or driving force behind it all. It is based on knowing who you are and your attitude determines your aptitude.

Knowing you have the ability to succeed and being in the right atmosphere cultivates the right attitude.

A healthy attitude takes you to your place of Greatness.

Shamron Munroe

When you are faced with situations that require you to seek certain relationships, it is your attitude that will cause people to be drawn to you or repel you.

Situations faced in life allow you to discover real relationships that help to clarify your journey and allow you to successfully manage your situations.

So goes your attitude so shall you Emerge!

Shamron Munroe

Being teachable, acquiring the right relationships and having the right attitude inspires a new way of thinking that will shift fruitless cultural norms.

Every leader must move in synergy and encourage their generation to Transition to Emerge.

Applying the principles herein with due diligence will allow you to become an empowering individual who will activate mobility in the lives of others. You will engage the masses with revelatory knowledge because; you have been given the grace to elevate.

You are a Transitional and an Emerging Leader. ✽

INCOMPATABILITY IN MARRIAGE One of Satan’s greatest weapons against unified, peaceful, successful marriages in this generation is for couples to dwell on their incompatibilities. The focus is placed on weaknesses, rather than strengths; this causes couples to attack each other, thereby playing into Satan's strategy to weaken marriage institutions.

Let me remind you that God established both the strengths and weaknesses in every human; they are there for our good and not destruction. Take electricity as an example. For lightbulbs to shine, or for machines to work, there must be a positive and negative line connected to the circuit (except in the case of 3-phase circuits where the supply is directly 3-phases). In Marriage however, there are only 2 cables (man and woman) that are required to make a happy, successful marriage. Therefore, it is very important for the man and his wife to understand, that their negative traits are ordained by God and that it is for the good health of their relationship.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” KJV. Jeremiah 29:11 says,

I know that you desire a prosperous family and God wants to bring about that hope and desire you have in marriage. Therefore, you must learn to accept the negative aspects of your spouse instead of using it as a weapon of war to destabilize your marriage.

Let us examine one woman who was able to manage her husband’s weaknesses. In I Samuel 25:2-3 it says, “…a woman of good understanding, and a beautiful countenance married to a man that was mean and bad-tempered.” However, Abigail was able to live with this bad-tempered man called Nabal. Is your spouse a bad-tempered fellow?

Don’t let Satan use his negative traits to destabilize your marriage, instead learn to accept him/her with their negativities. It is better in some ways to let him/her defraud you instead of scattering what God has joined together, I Cor. 6:7-8.

Here are a few thoughts to consider and act upon in marriage.

1. Troubles erupt when both individuals in the relationship don’t allow the other to have his/her way.

2. Marriages will be sweet when there is understanding of each other by both the husband and wife. This will stop incompatibilities from destroying the marriage Union.

3. Learn to accept and accommodate your spouse’s negative traits and your marriage will be sweeter everyday by the grace of God. 4. Let your spouse express him/herself and you will be happy again.

5. Don’t let your differences spoil your good relationship For your personal assistance contact Your servant in the Lord. ✽

The Focused-Driven Life

Jesus Christ was the only person born into the corrupt world system sinless. Unlike every other human being, He did not experience a divine encounter with the Holy Spirit to become born again. Nor was He set free from the dominion of darkness, so as to be transferred or translated into the kingdom of light (see Col. 1:13). HE WAS CONCEIVED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (see Luke 1:26-38). However, for every other human being, there must be a divine encounter with JESUS CHRIST— THE ANOINTED MESSIAH for a transformation process to begin. An encounter with the TRUTH, changes the spiritual identity of anyone who responds to the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. This encounter with the TRUTH (Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, see John 14:6) gives anyone who responds to the love of God also, the RIGHT or POWER to become a son or a daughter of God. Such a person experiences a divine birth because they are born of God (see John 1:12).

SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION

thinking, communicating, relating, producing fruit, manifesting kingdom culture, influencing and impacting the spheres of influence and society like Him. Renewing our mind should be a lifestyle, because we live in a world at war where cultures are clashing. The war is for influence, and we must choose what should and how it should influence us. Philippians 4 verse 8 declares, “Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].” AMP

TRANSFORMING CULTURES

Transformation begins with a spiritual encounter with the Spirit of ABBA. This encounter breaks the power of the spirit of slavery and the orphan spirit. It empowers a person to become a son and a daughter and he or she becomes adopted into the family of God. Romans 8 verse 15 and 16 declares, “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba!

Father!” Receiving the Spirit of adoption, is the first criteria that empowers anyone to begin to access spiritual, supernatural, creative, practical and truthful realities. This is needed to experience and enjoy the next process of transformation, which is BECOMING LIKE JESUS CHRIST, as our minds are continually renewed.

As believers and the Body of Christ, we are called to live from a renew mind.

A mind that believes we are like yeast and our influence is penetrating every sphere of society. We are not victims of the world system; we are ambassadors of Christ. I had to renew my mind recently because I moved into a new neighborhood. The Lord said to me, “You are living in the REAL WORLD. You are not coming out of your ‘Christian bubble’ to live in the real world.You are taking my kingdom where you will be residing to change the culture to become like the culture of heaven.”The Lord sends us out like sheep among wolves but commands us to be as shrewd or as wise as serpents and to be as gentle as doves (see Matthew 10:16). I pray the Lord will continue to release His wisdom upon you and give you strategies of transforming cultures and changing spiritual climates as you release the spirit of the kingdom, live out the culture of heaven and operate from the mentality of the kingdom.

MENTAL TRANSFORMATION

MEDITATION

To become like Jesus, every believer is to give him or herself to the art of renewing the mind. Manifesting kingdom culture involves PROACTIVE WORK on our part. The work of transformation is God’s responsibility, renewing our minds with the truth or as we encounter the TRUTH is our responsibility. Romans 12:2 says “And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. AMP

Are you living from the mind of Christ or from the value system of the world? What lies have you conformed to and need to let go of or disagree with?

PROGRESSIVELY TRANSFORMING OUR MINDS The end result of transformation is for us to BECOME LIKE JESUS;

DECLARATIONS 1. Lord, thank you because I am no longer a slave to sin or of the fear of judgment. I am adopted into the family of God. I am a son/daughter and a joint heir with Christ.You are my ABBA; Source, Father, Teacher, Sustainer, Provider and Shepherd. I am an ambassador of Christ and you are using me/us to transform cultures and change spiritual climates; because you are with me/us and we belong to an unshakeable, powerful, supernatural and solution-giving Kingdom.✽

Intercession

The Power of Prayer Plug into the POWER of Prayer God gave us power and powerful weapons that enable us to withstand any attack on our lives and the lives of our loved one. Prayer endows us with power and it is one of our most powerful weapons. Jesus told us, we are to do greater works than he did during his ministry. The truth is Jesus, did the works of the Father. He always pointed people to God, His Kingdom and works that God through. Jesus fully realized he had to plug into God in order to operate in POWER and AUTHORITY. It is clear that Jesus prayed to the Father, believed he heard him and he received whatever he asked of the Father. Therefore, we too must pray to the Father, believe He hears and then we must believe we receive the answer to our prayers.

Jesus prayed for others [Matthew 19:13] the children were a special concern for Jesus because they recognized God with the type of faith we too need to have; it is referred to as childlike. Notice children believe the impossible with nothing wavering. Today, when we pray for others or stand in the gap for others it usually unknown to them, and we call this type of praying intercession or interceding. The best prayers prayed are the ones you did not utter or even know they were uttered.

Jesus prayed for a multitude of reasons. He prayed long prayers, short simple prayers, He persisted in prayer, and He prayed based on the knowledge of the Word of God. Most of all, His prayers were heartfelt.

Jesus admonishes us against praying using vain repetitions, praying from a begging standpoint, and certainly we must avoid public praying for attention and ongoing babbling.

Jesus and Prayer

Effective Prayer

The Bible doesn’t offer a lot of details about Jesus and prayer, but what is revealed is Jesus’ outlook about praying. Jesus prayed alone often [Luke 5:16; Luke 9:18] and he did so in the wilderness. Before embarking on his ministry, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. This was after the Holy Spirit descended on him and the Father declared his pleasure with Jesus his son. We know how that turned out for the devil. Jesus, never came from head knowledge said, just what the Father told him to say, in other words, Jesus spoke the Word of God.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer. The Word of God tells us the power of life and death are in the tongue. Therefore, be mindful of your thoughts and words. Eliminate every thought and word that would stifle the Holy Spirit from moving. Use the Word of God only and cast down anything that would attempt to exalt itself over God’s Word that is our life, and truth. Consider these truths:

Jesus prayed with others [Luke 9:28]. Read Luke chapter 9 in its entirety and you will find Jesus relationship with the twelve disciples is taken to another level especially for Peter, John and James. When it came down to prayer, they witnessed a transfiguration, glory and splendor. They also saw Jesus step between dimension and converse with Moses and Elijah, who were no longer in the earth realm. That should have been enough to keep them alert and awake instead they were overcome with sleep. Note when they woke up or become conscious again, ❝ When it came down to Peter asked in a manner prayer, they witnessed a of speaking was it a good transfiguration, glory and idea for them to be there.

Jesus prayer life allowed splendor. They also saw Jesus him to go between step between dimension and dimensions [Matthew converse with Moses and 4:1-11, John 8:59]. We this happen with Elijah, who were no longer in see John the Revelator in the the earth realm. ❞ Book of Revelations.

 The righteous prayers are powerful/you are made the righteous of God [James 5:16-18]  Prayers demolish/destroy strongholds [Corinthians 10:4-5]  A believer’s prayers know nothing is impossible [Matthew 17:20]  You have the Holy Spirit the evidence is your heavenly language.

Pray in the spirit [Ephesians 6:18] Praying avails to us: understanding, wisdom, knowledge, healing, creativity, wealth, transformation, restoration, and changes things.

Prayers should consist of worship, praise, requests, petitions, intercession, confessions, trust and above all, faith in God. In addition it gives us full assurance that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. This is how we pray without ceasing, knowing that our line of communication is an open dialogue with our Heavenly Father, and like Jesus, have confidence that He both hears and answers prayer. ✽

Featured Article Legacy of A Leader I don’t want my name on a building that a hurricane will tear down, but in the leadership of those I mentor.

Daniel believes that each person was born to be great and was created to be a leader. Daniel got this philosophy from his

was the first one to pass it on by giving the kingdom of earth from the kingdom of heaven. This legacy and concept was produced and introduced

by God himself from the very beginning. We can call it Kingdom Legacy.

The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind. Psalm 115:16 NIV

In his just released book “A legacy Of A Leader”, Daniel gives a tribute to his dear mentor Dr. Myles Munroe in honor of his life, leadership, and legacy.

Legacy is not something that happens when you die; it is something that happens while you are still alive. It is the impact you impart before you depart. When you aspire to inspire others, then you will have a legacy based on your fulfilled capacity after you expire and retire.

mentor, Dr. Myles E. Munroe from whom he gleaned and learned about leadership.

Daniel discusses in his book how one can become a great leader by outlining these principles he personally discovered through his mentor and from his heavenly father and the teachings Jesus Christ.

What is a legacy in a few words: The life you lead is the legacy you leave.

1. Legacy is a record.

Therefore the questions you must ask are: 1. What is my legacy right now?

2. How is it going to come to fruition?

3. How will I be remembered?

2. Legacy is an account.

3. Legacy is history in the future.

4. Legacy is your life’s story.

5. Legacy is your sacrifice.

A great leader’s obligation is for the next generation.

- Daniel Longwe A generation is preserved and sustained through the principle of leadership, transferred by the elders through mentoring other people - the upcoming generation.

A legacy is not only what is achieved in a lifetime, but also what surpasses death. This has been true since the beginning of time. Christ’s leadership and mentorship is the ultimate example. Christ was sent to the earth by His Heavenly Father to lead and so went on to mentor his disciples. After the death of Christ, his followers became leaders and the cycle continued throughout history.

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

Luke 10:19 NIV Legacy is something bigger than you. Legacy is about passing on something of greater value. Passing it on however, is not a new idea; God

LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT LEGACY; AND LEGACY IS WHAT LEADERSHIP IS! Daniel was mentored by Dr. Myles and considers it a deep and great privilege to have called Dr. Myles his spiritual father. Some people have no fathers, but Daniel was blessed to have his physical father in Zambia, the Late Daniel Longwe Sr., and his spiritual father, the late Dr. Myles E. Munroe.

Daniel, a mentee of Dr. Myles Munroe, is now the founder of The Dream Consulting Firm. He is a business consultant, leadership motivator, leadership mentor, teacher, motivational speaker and author.

Daniel is an author of books on the topic of leadership and purpose.

“Your place of Destiny - Unleash your greatness here on earth” 2015.

He has since written his brand new book on mentorship, leadership, and legacy, “A legacy of A Leader - Discovering and Developing Leaders” Summer 2016. ✽

Daniel Longwe, a leadership motivator/mentor/motivational speaker/ teacher/author and business consultant was called by God to teach and draw out the leadership that has been locked up inside the children of God. He believes every person has their own natural born position in leadership. His desire is to see others understand who they are in Christ, and what their foreordained purpose and vision is in life.

To help, to present, produce, and re-introduce people’s vision back to them from God. Daniel’s conviction is to see, perceive, and discern greatness in others.

Women’s Empowerment

Being Empowered in the KINGDOM OF GOD Before I can go on with my entry for being Empowered in the Kingdom of God, I would like to say first and foremost

23 meekness (gentleness, mildness), temperance (self-control), against such there is no law.

Next let define what “Empowerment” means so that we can get a better understanding of this article. The word of God states in the book of Hosea 4:6

We as Citizens, also have inherited rights and priviledges, which warrants us and gives us license to change “World Systems” laws can be vetoed, legal rights and privileges can be restored in the Earth realm. We are Earth invaders, we bring Heaven to Earth! But in order for all this to take place we must know who we are and whose we are and it is called “IDENTITY”. Once we know OUR IDENTITY, the process can begin!!

(a)My people are destroyed-to be cut down, to be dumb or silent, fail or perish for the lack of knowledge- perception, discernment, understanding, wisdom. So with that being said let me define what Empowerment means.

Know that we are called Kings and Priest, we are of a Royal Priesthood, a Peculiar People and A Holy Nation!!! Royalty is apart of our Godly heritage!!! Knowing this that should “Empower us even the more!!!

The word Empowerment is derived for the root word Empower. The greek word for Empowerment = endunamoo. Empowerment means sharing power, to give ability or enable, increasing in strength, strong.

We are the Ecclesia (the Church), we work for God and with God! We are HIS Ambassadors! ( 2 Cor. 5:20). The Ecclesia consists of a King, Kingdom, and a Royal Family, and our number one priorty is Matthew 6:33 in order for us to also be Empowered and to a Empower each other.

for on to be empowered we must have a life of prayer because prayer is has very important role in our lives as kingdom citizens (Matt. 6:33, Ps. 145:18).

Before we can progress or advance in the Kingdom of God there must be a kinship with our King. We must live accordingly to his Culture, Will, Intent, and Purpose. This is a required law! A Mandate! A Must!

In order for us a Citizens in the Kingdom Of God, we must know how His governmental laws operates so that we can be empowered and more effective to ourselves as well as other. Galatians 5:22-23 give us (9) specific and detailed instructions or how we can be empowered and effective to ourselves and other: But the fruit of the Spirit is love ( brotherly love, affection, good will), joy (gladness, calm delight), peace (harmony, concord, prosperity), longsuffering (patience, endurance, constancy), gentleness (integrity, moral goodness, benignity, kindness), faith (truth itself, assurance, belief, fidelity), v.

Another Kingdom Mandate for Empowerment is Genesis 1:28-29, and Genesis 2:15. It gives us (7) requirements here: To be Fruitful, To Mulitply, Replenish the Earth , to Subdue, to Manage, have dominion, and to have a Healthy Lifestyle.

In order for effective empowerment we must follow the Master plan of God. For HE is our Master Builder, we have to follow His plan and blueprint. (1 Cor. 3:10).

Our empowerment is based on having a covenant indenture with God. (Matt. 6:1913), we bring Heaven to Earth, but not by observation. The Kingdom of God is within US and is PRESENT! So on that note we should be

innovative to see what the King sees, we must be readily available to serve as our King did.

Jesus said I came to serve and not to be served.

What a wonderful example this is. This should strengthen us even the more to be Empowered as well as to serve in the Earth realm wherever assistance is needed. That does not mean the Church only but Wherever!!

The genesis of God’s word has jurisdictions of the outcome of our exploits in laboring in the Kingdom as well as empowerment in the Kingdom. We are to become a yeast that effects dough and when that transpires “Empowerment begins to transform, and take full control. You see dough has NO effect until YEAST is added to it. It causes it to rise.

When we are fully equipped and empowered we can strengthen our Brothers, and Sisters.

We can go into dark places and light begins to infiltrate. Being Empowered through the Holy Spirit speaks Loud and Clear!

❝ Being Empowered through the Holy Spirit speaks Loud and Clear! ❞

Being Empowered through the Holy Spirit speaks volumes. Being Empowered through the Holy Spirit can speak life to dead situations. The Holy Spirit Empowers us each and everyday for every Battle, and every Mountain.

So in my conclusion go out and Empower someone through the Holy Spirit HE has given us the ABILITY to do so.... And with out Prayer we can’t be Empowered effectively!! ✽

The Message

Kingdom Seeker When you begin to catch the revelation of God’s Kingdom message that Jesus preached, it creates such an excitement that you feel like you have come alive again. It causes you to study the scriptures the way God originally intended for us. You begin to see the Kingdom of God, from Genesis to Revelation.

I am personally coming to realize that you can have all the excitement, terminology and may have the ability to teach the Kingdom, but unless you are becoming the culture of the message then you do not have to it yet.

The Father wants us to go from mere knowledge of the Kingdom to becoming obedient children who not only love to hear the Word, but become what we have re-discovered.

I am learning that I am not satisfied with just the knowledge of the Kingdom, but I desire to see its manifestation. There is a phrase used in Christianity which says, “I am sold out for the Lord.” However, I am now beginning to actually realize what it really means.

When you begin to understand the urgency of the Kingdom message and the hour that we are in, especially if you are 50+; being sold out becomes more than just a buzzword, cliche or colloquialism, but it becomes a stirring in one’s spirit which lets you know that you have not yet arrived.

Submission to the Lordship of the King, is the only way true transformation can take place. If our fasting, praying and studying is bringing us to obedience, then we are not yet sons, but still struggle as religious servants. It begins and ends with Matthew 6:33 which says, “But seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…” By continuing in His word we become rulers in trading and we will come into the truth that makes us free indeed. ✽
