What is prayer?

Pure and simple, Prayer is communion between God and man. This communion takes place in the innermost part of man's being.

As we said earlier, Prayer is communicating with God, but it has different aspects such as petitioning, praising or giving thanks, among other types of prayer.

Typically, when we are new to prayer we perceive it to be outward. Praying to an external God out there somewhere.

As we continue to grow in Christ, we will notice a change in our prayer life. As our relationship grows in Christ, our prayer life grows. We start to see maturity as we engage the father. We experience an awakening inside of us that helps us realize that the Kingdom of God is within us not out there somewhere. God is not afar off, but he actually resides in us. This realization is transforming and allows us to see father, son and holy spirit in a much different way.

As a babe in Christ, God’s love and grace allows us to pray as a babe, what does that look like?

Kingdom Alignment
An alignment in a person means their inner world (thoughts, values, beliefs, intuition) matches their outer actions, leading to a feeling of congruence (agreement), purpose, joy, and effortless flow in life, rather than feeling stuck, frustrated, or like we are forcing things, trying to make things happen.

Think about that for a second. Imagine your life aligned with God to the point where there is perfect harmony, where your thoughts, words and actions agree with God. That is where you find real peace and contentment. With this comes a life with less struggles and stress, Challenges appear to be effortless. Now that is a victorious life filled with abundance.

Did God Create Evil? Exploring Its Origins and Implications

This is a topic that has been in the making for months. It is a topic that will make you think about who God really is.

Introduction

Today, we are going to explore the question, "Did God create evil?" by first considering global theological perspectives and then examining how these concepts relate to our everyday experiences.

Exploring the Origin of Evil

To address the question, "Did God create evil?" we begin with a broad perspective before narrowing our focus to practical implications in daily life.

There has been many thoughts and discussions on this subject throughout the years and this verse in Isa 45:7 can definitely cause some confusion. I form the light (in us), and create (cut out)darkness: I make peace (in us), and create (cut out) evil: I the LORD (Jehovah) do all these things.

I looked up the word create and was surprised to find out one of its meanings.

A root word for the Hebrew word create (baw-raw) meaning to cut out. Re-read verse and replace the word create with cut out. Here is another example of how difficult at times to translate words from the Hebrew to English.

We were created in God’s image and likeness and then the fall. We learn to be selfish and think about self.

Spiritual Awakening to the Christ Within

We talked last week on enlightenment and how important it is to truly see God and ourselves for who we really are. Today we are going to continue discussing our spiritual awakening and the high frequency that comes with it.
Enlightenment or spiritual awakening breaks us free from being imprisoned or bogged down by this earthly realm and we begin the ascent into the heavenly realm found within each one of us.
John the revelator wrote in Revelation 4: 1

Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this. (in you)” Next stage

Portal - a doorway, gate, or other entrance. Metaphorically speaking, we must walk through that doorway that Jesus encourages us to enter. When you do, he will open up to you a life that is beyond anything you could possibly imagine.

Enlightenment is not new age; (now age) – We are God’s enlightened people

Job is believed by many to be the oldest book in the Bible. Job 33:30 speaks of enlightenment.

To bring his life back from the pit [of destruction],

That he may be enlightened (shine) with the light of the living.

To be enlightened means to have gained a profound understanding, awareness, clarity, and a spiritual awakening, leading to inner peace and a sense of liberation. Old things pass away and all things become new. Ultimately, it involves seeing God with a new perspective; a higher consciousness and realizing a deeper connection to him. The definition of consciousness is heart/mind coherence (harmony and oneness). Christ consciousness is when we become aligned with the father’s heart and realize our true identity as sons and daughters of the most high. Mind of Christ. Seek the liberator not the liberation.

Eph 1:18And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God's people),

What a loving Father!

Focusing on the Kingdom of God Within: Seeing, Entering, and Experiencing God’s Kingdom (Part 3)

Manifesting the Kingdom Within: Embracing a Kingdom Lifestyle

During the first two weeks, we explored the concepts that the Kingdom of God is both present now and resides within us. Recognizing that the kingdom is accessible today and lives within each believer, is the foundation for witnessing its manifestation in and through our lives. Manifest means making known what has been unknown or hidden. God manifest in the flesh.

Understanding Manifestation in the Kingdom

In biblical terms, "manifestation" refers to making something evident, clear, or visible—especially when God reveals Himself, His power, or His will through us. While we might associate manifesting the kingdom with miracles, visions, or dreams, it is equally important to remember that the kingdom of God is manifested in our everyday lives, through our actions, attitudes, and relationships.

Seeking the Kingdom: The Continuous Pursuit

To manifest the Kingdom of God, it is necessary to seek it diligently and consistently. Scripture encourages us in John 6:33: "So above all, constantly seek (focus on) God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly." Just as we cannot find lost keys without first searching for them, we must intentionally pursue God’s kingdom to experience its reality.

Eph 4:13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

The Glory to Be Revealed in Us

Romans 8:18-19 declares, "I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!" Those engaging with these truths are part of the community of believers for whom creation eagerly waits, looking forward to the revelation of God’s work within us. I believe those listening to us today are part of this company of believers that the universe is waiting for patiently.

Focus on the Kingdom of God – see, enter and experience God’s kingdom Pt. 2

If there is ever a message the world needs to hear, it’s the message of the kingdom within, because everything we need in this journey is within each and every one of us NOW. Don’t push off in the future what is already here now.

Understanding and Experiencing the Kingdom of God within us

Last week we talked about how you don’t have to die to experience the kingdom. This week we are going to discuss the kingdom within us. There are many scriptures referring to the kingdom within, however there are two that stand out.

1John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. No matter what the world throws at us, we can overcome the world because of his light in us. The kingdom of darkness is all around us, but he has placed us in a cocoon. We are in a protective bubble that gives us the ability to recognize and protect us from the darkness that tries to consume us. A little bitty light can dispel a lot of darkness. Go into a dark room and light a match and see darkness flee.

Col 1:26 There is a divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. 27 Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!

We must not see our union as God and me. We are both one. One is one, not that God is out there in the cosmos somewhere and I am here. Jesus said, the father and I are one, then he goes on to say, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Is that not one. I was taught that Jesus and the father are one, but they would stop short of the father, Jesus and I am one, because that would suggest that if we are one, then God has shared his divinity with us. In Phil 2:5, Paul said that the way Jesus saw himself is the way we should see ourselves. Weren’t we created in God’s image and likeness? Weren’t we also told to be partakers of his divine nature, and doesn’t the Bible say that when we see him as he is, we will be like him? We are being transformed into his image. Our minds are being renewed and transformed into him.

Focusing on the Kingdom of God

As believers, our attention is called to the Kingdom of God — to see, enter, and truly experience the reality of God’s reign. The Kingdom is not something external or remote; rather, it is present within each of us. This profound truth is echoed in the words of Jesus in Luke 17:21: “The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.”

2Ti 1:14Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you

Living from the Inside Out

To experience the fullness of God’s Kingdom, we must learn to live from the inside out. This means aligning our hearts and lives with the work and guidance of the Holy Spirit, allowing God’s reign to transform us from within. When we do so, we are able to tap into the richness and abundance that His Kingdom offers.

We have a treasure trove of everything we need living right inside of us.

Focus on the Kingdom Within – see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God

Where is God’s Kingdom and how do we see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God?

How can we have a podcast called Kingdom Building without talking about the Kingdom of God?

The word focus is defined as the ability to direct and concentrate your attention, energy, or effort on a specific point, task, or goal, while excluding distractions.

As you reflect on your priorities, remember to place the Kingdom at the center of all your decisions and actions. Let its values guide your daily life and influence your relationships, goals, and aspirations.

We don’t have to die to see, enter and experience the Kingdom of God.

Luke 9:27 “I promise you this: there are some of you standing here right now who will not die until you have witnessed the presence and the power of God’s kingdom realm.”

The kingdom is a spiritual realm, not a place in the natural realm. The spiritual realm is a non-physical, parallel dimension of existence that is understood to be inhabited by spiritual beings. We are spiritual beings experiencing a human existence.

The Kingdom of God is a wonderful realm, and God has provided his kingdom as a place for us to live in. It is a place or realm where the cares of the world and the trials of life can’t affect us as much as when we choose to only live in a lower realm called earth. There is joy there, there is peace there. We experience God’s kingdom when we cast our cares on him and when we realize that his burden is light and most importantly, he loves us regardless of the mistakes we have made.

Rom 14:17 For the kingdom ofGod is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

When we are talking about the Kingdom of God, here are 5 basic truths that we are going to discuss (over the next 3 weeks):

1. The Kingdom is now available to all, with no exceptions. Mark 1:15 “At last the fulfillment of the age has come! It is time for God’s kingdom to be experienced in its fullness!

2. The Kingdom of God is within all of us. It is found in the realm of the Holy Spirit, where God reigns. Luke17:21 The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.”

3. The next thing we must do to understand the Kingdom of God is to constantly seek it. John 6:33 So above all, constantly seek (focus on) God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. We can’t find something without first looking for it. (lost keys)

4. We must see (with our spiritual eyes) the kingdom before entering it. (water and spirit) John 3:3 Before a person can even perceive God’s kingdom, they must first experience a rebirth.” Verse 5 Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s kingdom.

5. Flesh and blood cannot inherit nor be part of the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (mortal) inherit the imperishable (immortal). 1Cor15:50 flesh and blood are not able to inherit God’s kingdom realm, and neither will that which is decaying be able to inherit what is incorruptible.
