A Kingdom of Light within a Kingdom of Darkness

We are a kingdom of light in the midst of a kingdom of darkness. We are a people within the midst of another people. (We are in the world but not of it.) But light does not endure darkness, and darkness does not overshadow the light. The light does not endure darkness, light expels darkness. We are not here to endure, just simply get by. I believe that we are not to just get by we are to shine.



We are in a day where we need to learn to live and move and have our being in Him. We need to learn how to press into the kingdom of God and see its manifestation in our life. We need to learn how to function in the kingdom, how to receive provision from the reality of the kingdom being present. This is the reason for the declaration made by John the Baptist and Jesus, "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand". When we live as the people of the kingdom of light in the midst of another kingdom, the kingdom of darkness, then we are in it but we are not of it. As the Scripture says we are in the world but not of it.


We need to walk as children of the light, the kingdom of light. Many of us have been walking as children of religious disciplines and traditions. Jesus said that the traditions of man make void the word of God. If that is true, and it is, then the tradition of man can make void living in the reality of the manifested kingdom of God. To make void is to make empty, to make it of no effect, it is to have no substance. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We are a people who are of the kingdom of God and it is not seen but that does not mean it cannot be entered.

The Jews in Egypt were a nation in the midst of another nation. 

The stage is being set and things are being set up by God to manifest light in the homes of God's people. We are in a day where it is critical that we learn how to have light in our homes, how to have the presence of God in our homes. We must have light in our homes and as we do we will be a household of light in the midst of households of darkness. It is just like when darkness came upon the land of Egypt and that darkness was so intense it could be felt, but there was light in the homes of the Jews. Which simply means we possess something that they do not possess. It means that we are sustained and provided for by a resource that they do not have. 


The point is, the kingdom of God is actual, vital, it is real. It's presence in manifestation is actual, it is here in time and place, the kingdom of God is at hand. And in the days to come living in that reality and from that resource will be critical. Darkness may increase in this land, this country, but it does not have to increase in our homes.
