In the last post, I laid out the basics of what the kingdom of God looks like. That was an introduction and I hope within this writing it can give us a little deeper appreciation and sense of awe into how this realm operates and functions. As I stated previously, some of the material which I am going to offer might not fit into your theological-round hole just the way you think it should. Again, take anything you question and put it on the shelf until the series is complete and then you can off-load what you placed there to your hearts content.
Let’s go back to the first creation story of Genesis. Everywhere in the eternal now, God, who is spirit, who as the ultimately Supreme Divine Consciousness “sits” on His throne. To his right, within His Christ, the ground of All Being, all things are being held together as one in eager anticipation of the creative decree which will release them into their symbiotic dance.
Stop for moment. Reread that entire paragraph again; I’ll wait. I need you to think, to contemplate about this for a few minutes. Close your eyes, if you need to, and picture what this is like. This is the kingdom of God in action. Consider how I am asking you to picture something in your mind which is occurring in the non-visible realm where spirit acts. Can you “see” it? No? Then can you “feel” it? No? How about can you “hear” it? Still no? Do you have any sense you can use to experience this? If you still don’t then explain how you are able to recite the verse from Psalms which says, “be still and know that I am God.”
Understand that I have not rebuked you. I am asking you to cast aside your “customs” at the border of His kingdom so that you might return to being spiritual.
In what is about to happen, you must release the concept you have of “suddenly.” Nothing “suddenly” happens in Now. Suddenly is an annexation of the eternal in time. God never acts suddenly; He is always now.
Focus and Breath.
Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. Do it again. Do it four more times.
Now, in those six breaths you took, God, through the Spirit, created everything seen and unseen. There wasn’t anything made which wasn’t made in those breaths. And all things in His Christ were announced and joyously placed within their field of all possibility and God decreed that is good.
Now, God, His Christ, and the Spirit, with Wisdom decreed that the heirs of the kingdom of God, male and female, shall be established as sovereigns over the works of God. The signate of this domain which all shall identify with is the very breath which gives life to impermanent matter. And it is very good.
Now – everything is very good.
The measure of your doubt in this claim is the distance you are from understanding the kingdom of God and the nature of grace.
Hopefully you recall from my first writing in this series that I spoke about the throne of grace. I stated that the term “grace” is a descriptor for what is witnessed in thought and actions of the sovereign who occupies the throne during the administration of kingdom business. Keeping this in your awareness, consider what you just experienced in that spiritual realm. Now, where, when, how, or even what was grace?
Here are few more questions for you to ponder:
- Is the material creation a part of the kingdom of God? If so, what makes this possible? If not, what prevents it?
- At any point in these events is there duality (a pair of opposites) present? If so, what are they and in which kingdom do they belong to.
- Where was the model which the male and female were to follow in the dominion they received and how were they to follow it?
There may arise more questions in your consideration of these few I have offered. Feel free to explore them on your own or with others; or you can put them on the shelf with your other items. We are still working on our journey of understanding and I hope this is feeding you. Onward friends!
