At salvation, we leave the world realm and enter the church realm.. In the church realm, we learn to be filled with the Spirit, walk by faith, listen to our pastors and teachers, and learn the word of God. Many get stuck here, and think the OT ways of God apply to us today, and never move beyond a God who is always angry at sin, and we find ourselves striving in sin. We learn a few things, even in that struggle, and realize that healing and deliverance and the faith walk is part of this new life and we begin to believe in the supernatural. The belief in the supernatural begins to change our prayer life and how we view God and others, even though we still may have a faulty view of God and His love. After a while, we may discover the kingdom, and we realize its the kingdom that we have entered into at salvation. We begin to realize that the church and the supernatural are biblical aspects of the kingdom of God, and that God wants His kingdom to invade every area of our life and of the lives of those we can influence. Our doctrine and ideas change from a simple salvation view to a kingdom of God view, where God wants to save people, heal them, deliver them, set them free, give them jobs and prosperity, blessed families, favor with men and circumstances, and on and on. Even in this, we might still have a somewhat faulty view of God, and we still remain sin conscience and striving in our flesh, but we know the church, the supernatural and the kingdom is what God is working in. Then one day, we stumble across the deeper doctrines of the new covenant. We begin to learn the love of God as our Father, and that we are His kingdom sons, with power and authority and His love and grace to display to all those we come in contact with. We learn in this new covenant that God is not angry at me, nor is He angry at the world, but He loves people, and Has dealt with sin and the cross. We learn that we are forgiven, and forever redeemed. We learn that we are His sons, ambassadors, the royal priesthood, and the only plan God has to advance His wonderful kingdom throughout all the earth. In this new covenant view, our eschatology begins to be transformed, and we realize that things we once worried about happening in the future have already happened in the past, and that our concern is not a coming doom, but the advancing kingdom. We learn that Jesus wants to return to this earth and find the marks of His kingdom every where. We learn that we reign in life, and that we are think and respond as spiritual kings in the earth. What a wonderful, ever increasing relationship we have with God. Move beyond your current level of stuck into new realms with God. He loves you and has put His love in you. Live it!
