We are walking in today: Detour
Last week the weekend meditation was: “Is There A Warrant Out For Your Arrest?” You need to know that you have made bail because who the Son sets free, is free indeed! You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free! When you come out of bondage, you have to be trained, instructed, and taught. You have to get a new mindset and a revelation. The scales have to fall off of your eyes. Yeshua has made you free! When you come out of bondage, the King has to talk to you and tell you about the kingdom. As we prepare to walk in 613 principles, we first have to give you the keys to the kingdom. Our weekend meditation is: “Detour”. You were on a road that seems right to man. You were on a road where you were blind and the Lord has come by with a word that says: “Detour”. Take a detour in your mind. You need to take a detour for where He’s taking us. You just got out of prison! You just got out of bondage! You just came out of slavery! You’ve been taught their traditions and their ways, so now you have to take a detour. The Gospel of the Kingdom is an invitation for man to return to the realm of life that God originally intended. God does not set up a standard of morality and declare that when you have achieved it you can enter the kingdom. There is one requirement for entrance: repenting before sin and spiritual rebirth. Through repenting and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, you are born into the kingdom and become a kingdom resident. Residency in the kingdom of God requires a new lifestyle governed by the laws of the kingdom. Life in the spiritual kingdom affects the quality of life in the visible world. The lifestyle of the kingdom is the exact opposite of the lifestyle of kingdom of the world. It is different in both structures and principles. When you enter into the lifestyle of the kingdom of God, it’s like immigrating to a new country. You must learn a different culture. In the natural world, culture is the behavior pattern which governs life in a given society. You must live by kingdom principles to maintain residency. Although repentance is the only requirement for entry into the kingdom, there are definite requirements to maintain residency after being born into the spirit realm. Jesus said, “Not everyone that says unto me ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven”. The will of the Father revealed by Jesus Christ was that believers be governed by the laws of the kingdom. Jesus said that kingdom principles are important. It’s about the kingdom! Jesus taught that the kingdom should be the primary concern of life. He concluded with this statement, “but rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.” If you seek the kingdom first, its principles, its lifestyle, its gospel, then all other necessary things in life will be added. Fruits of the kingdom are the tests of possessions. Jesus told the Jews that the test of possessing the kingdom was bringing forth the fruits thereof. The fruit of the kingdom is that which is outwardly produced by the inward life flow just as the fruit on a natural tree is the outward product of the flow of life within. If you are a resident of the kingdom of God it will be apparent in your visible lifestyle. We have to know the principles. The foundation in the natural world is the underlying structure on which something is built. The foundation supports the super structure, or the visible building. The foundation of the kingdom of God and its governing principles is righteousness. The foundation of God’s kingdom stands on righteous men living righteous lives. The two greatest principles are to love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. Each kingdom principle relates either to your relationship with God or your relationship with others. One of the principles of God is unity. In unity is where God commands the blessing. There are many earthly kingdoms all divided from one another. There are also divisions within earthly kingdoms, which results in revolution. God’s kingdom is one united kingdom. It’s described as one body with many parts. One of the main purposes of unity in the kingdom of God is the unlimited power it produces. We have to penetrate the world as light and salt. In the natural world, salt works silently. In the spiritual world, kingdom residents are to penetrate the world as salt. They are to preserve the values and qualities of the kingdom. In the natural world, light shows the way in darkness. The kingdom resident is to be a light in the world to expose and show the way out of darkness. Prayer is the principle thing. Prayer in the kingdom is based on three principles: Asking, Seeking, and Knocking. Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto to. Amen.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit: Take a detour to the kingdom of heaven and live by His principles!
