Kingdom Growth

The kingdoms of this world are much like God's Kingdom, although there are differences. Of course, the Kingdom of God is spiritual and resides within the hearts of His children. Still, it is also a relationship between the ruler and His wife and the ruled in a particular location. God's influence can identify the location of the Kingdom of God. His temple, our bodies, is where His influence manifests. We are His Kingdom and should be expressing it to the world.

In every true kingdom, the King has total authority and power over His kingdom. His wife shares His power and has total authority to use that power in His absence. Because we share His Spirit, we are one with Him. Upon the Lord's return to heaven, we can exercise His power and authority as His helpmeet.

God did not give us this knowledge when we were born, so He must transform our minds until our souls agree with Him. We work out this transformation in partnership with Him. He brings to our minds the changes needed; we ask Him to make them and submit ourselves to the changes that also need to be made.

The keys to opening the Kingdom promises to receive the food, clothing, shelter, and everything else you might need for life and godliness:

 Believe in your heart.

 Make your petition to Father God using the name of Jesus.

 Receive it by professing it to the Father and repeating it frequently until the answer is a part of your identity.

Father, I come to you in Jesus' name, accepting and receiving you as my Father. Teach me to hear your voice clearly so I always know what you want from me.

I desire to live in your household and in your presence as your child according to your promises through the Apostle Paul. I wish to receive my daily bread from you, giving me wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of your will, as declared in the Bible. I declare before you today that I accept you as my Lord, Savior, King, Priest, and Father. Acknowledging you as Lord is to declare you as my owner and the owner of everything on earth. As King, you have total power and authority over me. I am the caretaker of your temple, people, and property, and I represent you here. I further declare I am available for you to use in any manner you wish to express your desire on this earth. However, you must teach and train me in your ways.

I declare you to be Lord over any problem I might experience, no matter how small or large. I know I can bring it to you as the owner, and you will fix it. Teach me to have faith in you so I never again worry about any problem. Give me the confidence to know that you are already addressing the issue, and I will see the solution soon.

I will always give you the glory and honor for all the accolades I might receive because I know I can do nothing alone. All honor, power, authority, and glory are yours forever and ever, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
