Kingdom Of God

Word of the Day
Beloved, let us now go back to the place of My glory where I am leading you. Stop! Cease looking outward for a moment and let Me redirect your focus. Turn your face, not outward or upward, but turn your face inward. See the Mount of Transfiguration. It is your own heart where I dwell. Your heart is the habitation of My glory. My Kingdom dwells within you (cf. Luke 17:21).

Fear not and hear Me say, “You are My son in whom I am well pleased.” I am transforming your stony places into swords of power and might, displacing the space they occupied with more of My glory. Move up! Move out and be My passionate, glorious new heart to all you encounter. They need you to move in sync with Me, in unity with Me in order to see who I really am. When you know who you are in Me and who I am in you they can’t help but see, and see they will.

Imagine us moving as one in unison together and your heart opening to the complete understanding and revelation of who you are. It will begin manifesting itself in the every day moments of your life, becoming a glorious accompaniment to My desires among the individual and corporate presence of My people. What an outcome we will produce. Ah yes, the cloud the size of a man’s hand will become the rain of all time.

The manifestation of My glory and the Kingdom of God within you will transfigure the kingdoms of your own life and the kingdoms of this world. All transfiguration of the heart is continual and always results in sharing what you have been given. It is not a place of permanent altars but a place of commission—a place of discipleship (Matthew 17:1-5).

Time is come to see the importance and the scope of My vested interest in the transfiguration of your heart. Don’t let the enemy convince you otherwise. Dive into the all-consuming passion of a consumed heart and all else that holds you. Yes, even the desires of the world competing for My attention will fade away it the light of My Glory and My Grace.

Arise in transfiguration of soft hardheartedness where My glory dwells. It is not a mystical, unreachable place. It is your heart and I have come. I am here.

Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you] (Luke 17:21 Amplified)

Prayer
Father, my heart is Your dwelling place. Jesus gave His life to purchase mine. He didn’t do it so I could live in a place of staleness or ineffectiveness. I have become Your habitation, the place where the Kingdom of God dwells. I want all the transfiguration You have for me, past, present and future. I will not settle for anything less. I give up all fear of men and lay down my own inadequacies. I pick up who I am in You.

Lord, You destroy the works of the evil one in my life, and my heart is a heart of flesh. It is supple and soft in Your hands and I submit any stony places into Your capable hands. Mold me, make me, and pour oil into the very depths of my being. As I focus my mind and heart on You, renew my thinking. My heart is Yours, a mount of transfiguration, a place where You rule and reign. I move in unison with You to do Your will. I am commissioned and qualified to do all I have been called to do. I have a passionate, glory-filled new heart. And I give it to You, for You have come and I am here. Amen

Reflect and Journal

1. He is well pleased with you and your heart is a place of transfiguration and glory. How does this or should this affect your thinking?
2. Where do you need your focus redirected the most? In other words, where and to what do your thoughts seem to navigate themselves to in negative ways most often? This will be a clue to discovering stony, unsurrendered or fearful places not yet transformed.
3. Can you see your stony places being formed into swords of might and power not subject to a spirit of fear? How does this change your way of thinking?
4. How can you best walk in the commission of the Lord and His desire for you to disciple others?
