Welcome to the launch of Kingdom Quest!...an exciting place to embark on the journey of seeking, finding and living in the Kingdom of God.
Hoist the sails...let the wind blow!
May God give us eyes to see.. ears to hear...and a heart that beats in rhythm with His desire for His kingdom to come and His will to be done ON EARTH, as it is in heaven.
The Kingdom of God should unite humanity. It is a place that goes beyond religion. A place where we are all one royal family under God and His flag. Let His banner yet wave over His land, His dominion of the free.
Dominion of the Free. This Royal Family that all existence that we know is a part of.
ReplyDeleteThe Wind blows our sails as It wills. We embrace that. In that, we often find our path interesting and surprising. Sometimes, the waters we are in are in one sense, in the natural, waters we never fathomed until we are in them, and yet, in The Spirit, we know exactly where we are. We fish, express, transform where we touch without knowing what the end result is. We know that darkness has dissolved into Light, its actual reality. We did not do it, but our presence is part of the transition.
It is the intent of Our Spirit, not necessarily our actions, that manifest. Likewise, our actions often express our intent, even if not clear at the moment. Judgment, a fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, does not accept our intent or action. Nevertheless, transformation occurs. Our sails, our hearts are filled with The Wind, and only transformation follows. Royalty is unveiled in every aspect of where We find ourselves, in Every Moment. We shift our rudder in concert with The Wind, nourished by The Fruit of The Tree of Life. No scurvy here !
Every water we cross, each land (life) we sail to, sees their own exquisite unveiling that sometimes we may never understand. To understand is not necessarily our mission, only to hoist our sails, and go with The Wind, however it blows. Amen !!
Thank you Erik and welcome to the journey.

I also really liked what you said here about the sails being our hearts;

Absolutely right...the Wind blows where it wills and we are transformed.
We ride on the waves of righteousness.
Psalms 24 TLB
ReplyDelete24:1 The earth belongs to God! Everything in all the world is his! 2 He is the one who pushed the oceans back to let dry land appear. 3 Who may climb the mountain of the Lord and enter where he lives? Who may stand before the Lord? 4 Only those with pure hands and hearts, who do not practice dishonesty and lying. 5 They will receive God's own goodness as their blessing from him, planted in their lives by God himself, their Savior. 6 These are the ones who are allowed to stand before the Lord and worship the God of Jacob. 7 Open up, O ancient gates, and let the King of Glory in. 8 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, invincible in battle. 9 Yes, open wide the gates and let the King of Glory in. 10 Who is this King of Glory? The Commander of all of heaven's armies!
As we go forth on our journey we need to take a moment to recognize who we are honored to be traveling with. It is the King of Glory who is on our journey, traveling close beside us. To the children of Israel as they traveled, he was a great pillar of cloud by day and a fire by night. He is both the creator of heaven and earth, the maker of every living thing, and the Lamb of God who died and redeemed us. Psalms 24 describes the welcome that Christ received as he returned to his Kingdom after his crucifixion, when he ascended to heaven to stand before his father. But this scripture not only describes Christ’s welcome, but ours as well as we are crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20) and yet live to follow him through the wide open gates he left open for us. Because the life which we now live in the flesh we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave himself for us, making us who are unworthy as worthy as the Commander of heaven to enter into his kingdom with him and stand before our Father, God.
Dan, thank you for your writing here, very good to hear from you and also to hear these words! Very well spoken. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI want to invite the Holy Spirit to also come through THIS gate, this blog community...for us to LET the King of Glory come into this place as we open up our gates to do so and say "yes", the Lord God strong and mighty to fight our battles.
Thank you Dan, blessings to your family!
