The Currency of the Kingdom

One thing that has become clear to me (as a worshipper) is that atmospheres saturated with the glory of Yahweh's presence are inspiring. When Heaven is encountered, its culture sparks an awakening. Something quickens within. You come alive! Experiencing the power of the Set Apart (Holy) Spirit at work manifesting the agenda of Heaven on Earth broadens your perspective and expands your capacity to function beyond the self-imposed limitations that minimize--and in some cases, eliminate--personal growth.

It then becomes important to not just go to church simply because it's the right thing to do. More importantly, one cannot expect to grow in a church setting that fails to expose believers to supernatural manifestations of Kingdom culture.  Without such exposure, believers will never become ignited within to exercise their faith in bold, new ways. But by encountering the activity of Heaven on Earth, we ultimately experience faith in action and learn how to flow with the current of the Set Apart (Holy) Spirit.

Faith indeed moves! Things happen when faith is exercised because it's action-oriented by nature. When you begin to view faith as the currency (i.e. movement) of the Kingdom, it totally transforms your perspective on its importance. Just like electrical currents, the current seen in bodies of water and even the currency (i.e. money) used in the exchange of goods and services, the energy of faith creates movement. Faith is so vital to the Kingdom's dominance over the earth and its resources that every Heaven-inspired transaction requires it!

Show Me How To Get It For Myself

"You can't be my friend and NOT show me how to get it for myself." --Floyd Mayweather

As I recently watched video of a recorded conversation between boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and award-winning recording artist Snoop Dog, my attention was arrested upon hearing the above statement.  Mr. Mayweather was sharing that it was simply not enough to enjoy experiencing someone else's home, yacht or jet.  It was, in fact, more important to him that he learn how to get his own to enjoy.  But here's the kicker: look at how important it was that he gain access to this information...  In his mind, it is the granting of access that legitimizes the friendship!  There was no way Floyd Mayweather was going to regard ANYONE as friend who would rather showcase their prosperity than show him how to prosper as they have so done.  NOW THAT'S POWERFUL!  

Too often, we find ourselves merely admiring what others have attained AND feeling privileged for the opportunity to witness their prosperity.  But what good is experiencing someone else's prosperity and afterwards remaining clueless as to how they were able to come into such abundance?  Of course, everyone isn't interested in that kind of information because we all know people who would rather enjoy the privileges of others without the responsibility of securing and maintaining it themselves.  However, for those who desire to know, each encounter with another's abundance is seen as a life-changing learning opportunity.
