Live in the Kingdom!
Why don’t I seem to belong?
-Many search forever to feel like they fit in and yet for some, they never feel like they belong. I believe that we, as true believers were created to live in a different realm than many of us live in. Many who will be reading this would say. I am a Christian but I still don’t fit in. I am not talking about style, churches or outward things. The Kingdom realm doesn’t have to do with, if you are a Christian or not. Christ gave us access to the Kingdom of God. You must be birthed into His royal family. Jesus made it possible that anyone who is born again of the Spirit of Christ has access. Many have access but reject to live in the kingdom and in the authority. For some reason they have been deceived to believe that there is something they are missing by living in Gods Kingdom. John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
-I spent many years trying to be great! Feeling that no matter how hard I tried it was never good enough. Not to people, not to my family and not to God. I must choose to live in the kingdom of God and outside the condemnation of the world. To live in the Kingdom means that I am living in the supernatural (beyond the natural order of the World). 1 Cor 15:50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I had to get the I out of acceptance.(there isn't acctually an I in acceptance). Jesus loves me and takes me (accepts me) just as I am, but he doesn’t want me to stay that way. He wants to take me out of my self made, ever crumbling kingdom into His Kingdom of His light and peace. It means that I can truly and wholly recognize the Lordship of Jesus. Today, right now and for ever, I must yield to the Word of God and the Leading of the Holy Spirit. Daily I must put to death the old man, his desires, fleshly ways and choose to live in the Kingdom of God. I must live on the inside and let it be the out flow of the decisions I make on the outside in my daily life.

Eph 2:17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
-I must live in His Supernatural Kingdom to ever truly belong. That is want I was created for. The gifts of the Spirit are in His Kingdom, Provision is in His Kingdom, other People are in His kingdom. I could go on and on. Are you loving in an fantasy world or the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is here and now for you. You must accept the access by the cross and start living in it. Don’t try to be a Christian, enter into who God is. Be led by the Spirit.
-The Kingdom is Peace DEF = eirene (i-ray'-nay); from a primary verb eiro (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity

The peace found in the kingdom in an action meaning to Join and implies that that joining brings prosperity. The will of God is that we Prosper and be in Health. We need to get into this kingdom and stay in this kingdom so we can find perfect peace.
I have Tried but I can’t!
I have lived through this old lie. You have tried the impossible. It is impossible to please worldly or religious men and please God at the same time. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Heb 11:6, But He said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God ." Luke 18:27 NKJV We often have Faith, but it is in man, self or fate! God wants us to live in His Supernatural Kingdom, being led by the Word and Spirit (They never, ever contradict)! Moment by moment. We pray for help when we get in trouble but God desires that we be led by His Spirit so we stay out of the traps of the enemy.
One last Huge (but short) thing to mention. We can live for God. Two words make it all possible when we really understand their definitions.
Mercy: God not giving us the judgment that we deserve because he loves us.
Grace: God giving us His favor that we don’t deserve. He does it, because he loves us.
God has given you the enabling power to live for Him no matter what you have done or how many times you have done it. The judgment for our sin and shame has already been paid. Galatians 3 makes it clear, don’t take that on yourself as if Christ died for nothing. You can live in the Kingdom of God. Quit trying so hard, just begin to move forward into the wonderful things God has for you. If you have asked Jesus in your heart to be your savior and Lord, then relax and let Him be that for you today.
"The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:20-21

Current Ministry and Family Update!
It was a wonderful day Yesterday, Pastor Jon asked me “what was up” a couple of times yesterday. He asked me why I was smiling all day? Well, I am not sure why myself. It was just a wonderful day. Same pressure, problems and the sort but God made it a great day. I really want today to be like that also. I woke up yesterday and walked in the living room where my family was getting ready for work and school and asked how the most wonderful family in the world was doing. The day was just a good day from that point on. I went to work and we worked on some new and exciting upcoming projects had some difficult counseling problems but God is showing himself faithful in all things. I got a report on the Food Project offering from Sunday and it was twice what we needed. (that doesn’t happen very often) Praise the Lord!!! The truck of 42,000 pounds was postponed and will be delivered tomorrow. A very faithful man who watches our television show stopped by personally to sponsor two campers for B.T.I. As well as many more blessings throughout the day. We had a wonderful Wed night Bible Study and two were filled with the Spirit. My children had a great Youth Church where Pastor Rod spoke. Please pray for my wife she has felt congested and went to bed as soon as we got home. She is the best wife a man could ask for and has had such a wonderful pregnancy, so please pray that this head congestion comes to an end. I am believing that when she wakes up this morning, she will feel well. I am ready for another wonderful day meeting the challenges of life and defeating the devil all day long. Lets go out and be led by the Spirit, be a blessing and be blessed! Pastor Aaron
