Living in and for a Kingdom Culture

A few days ago whilst listening to a radio broadcast I heard whilst driving something was triggered in my spirit. The speaker was speaking about ethnicity within the church.

It seems nearly every day as I hear things said that I hear from a Kingdom perspective and again my spirit is impacted.

Here is what I heard as I listened to His Spirit.

Father, because of the obedience unto death on the cross and the resurrection of His Son Jesus, is building one new nation, from out of many nations. But more than that, He wants us, out of our different ethnicities focused on developing one culture, which must be the Kingdom culture.

The problem with us as believers is we want to keep and live in our culture rather than change it. It is important for us to understand that all culture is religious in nature. As such it determines how we live our life, how we govern, how we build families, how we develop our businesses and economics etc.

As we have accepted the man made idea of multi-culturalism we have also accepted other gods and religions, and in doing so have built a confused nation, that has lost its identity.  People want to speak only in the language of their birth, not the language of the land they want to live in. This is so clearly demonstrated as other religions want to live according to their religious laws.

It doesn’t matter whether the culture we have is American, Australian, African, British, or any other, our role is not to promote our culture, but His.

As Christ Jesus is King, reigning over all the earth now, it is our responsibility if we are truly citizens of the Kingdom, to first learn the principle, then promote it, by manifesting it as the culture of the Kingdom.

Having said that, we have to realize that there are some things within what we consider the culture that are non-religious. Those things are what we need to do to live, for example food, and most of us enjoy diversity of food. Other things may include music and dress these things must be devoid of any religious ties that bring people under bondage.

The Kingdom culture embraces all ethnicities, there is only one race, ‘the human race’, inclusive of differences in skin color and facial types. God also separated man through language, creating an inability to communicate, because man tried to get to heaven his way, there would be nothing that man could not do, but it was without God being the center. Here is a very important kingdom key, “God wants to de-centralize, but man wants to centralize, as it makes his agenda to control easier.” God creates us to be ‘one’ in diversity.

The Kingdom works regardless of any language, its economy will function with the currency of any nation.

It’s time to show forth the culture of the Kingdom.
