Move Out!

Living and walking around in this temporal terrarium we might imagine that this is all there is. It can seem like wickedness, evil, and deceit have no end. That this visible and tangible environment is the ultimate and only reality. It can appear as if societal structures and political positions are the most important issues of life.

The truth is that everything is spiritual.

All the turmoil that comprises life in this dark domain is the natural outcome, the foregone conclusion, of people choosing to live according to the designs of natural humanity rather than living according to the design of their Creator.

As holy ones of God, we who trust in Him hail from a Kingdom diametrically opposed to the one in which we are temporarily residing. In this Kingdom of Light all is at peace. In this Kingdom, godliness, righteousness, and sincerity have no end. This is the ultimate and true reality. In this Kingdom, societal structures and political positions are seen as the elementary principles they are.

Every child of God stands redeemed and forgiven, filled with the overflowing spring of godliness. No wonder then that the Scriptures urge us to set our minds on things above rather than things on the earth. We are ambassadors here, sent by the Lord of our Realm to gently and meekly invite the denizens of this one to true Love and Life in our glorious Lord and God, Jesus the Christ.

As we live in this death-shadowed place conducting ourselves with the mindset of the Kingdom of glorious Light, some will observe how much better and different such an abundant Life is. Curiosity and desire will cause some to call upon our Great King and be set free from their bondage to the darkness. These will find themselves Spirit born citizens of the true Kingdom full of abundant Life and Love.

Let’s move out.
Let’s shake off the vestiges of low and earthly thinking.
Let’s wrap ourselves in the high and spiritual ways of the Kingdom.
Let’s allow the calm and gentle Spirit within us to open the eyes of the blind.

“He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
(Colossians 1:13–14, NASB 2020)
