Aspects of the Kingdom Lifestyle
Yesterday we discussed our hearts desire is to display Yeshua to those around us. It is our heart for on earth as it is in heaven. There is a process to becoming like Yeshua. At The Wilderness Place we call this the Kingdom Lifestyle. The first three aspects of this lifestyle are Encounter, Perspective and Value.
When we encounter Yeshua, this encounter is designed to change our perspective. Every whisper of the Holy Spirit, every book you read, every conversation you have, every situation, every test is an opportunity for us to turn our hearts to Him openly and ask what are you trying to show us?
He wants us to have His perspective regarding every aspect of our daily lives. When we have the perspective of the Kingdom of Yahweh, we can see others like He sees them. We can love like He loves. His perspective is wisdom. Proverbs 4:7-8, “Wisdom is the most valuable commodity - so buy it! Revelation knowledge is what you need- so invest in it. Wisdom will exalt you when you exalt her truth. She will lead you to honor and favor when you live your life by her insights.”
Wisdom and revelation will cost you. The Kingdom lifestyle will cost you. What is most valuable to you? Whatever you value you will get more of. If you value every encounter you have with the Holy Spirit as He reveals Yeshua, you will have more encounters with Him. If you value His perspective, wisdom and knowledge you will get more of those. Like Pastor Tim said Sunday, at one time none of us valued reading the Bible, gathering with our Kingdom family, or worshipping Yeshua. We valued other things but once you get a taste of His goodness nothing else matters. We are like Paul and throw everything from our past on to the garbage heap.
What did Yeshua value? He valued His time alone with His Abba. He valued the face and voice of Abba.
Ask yourself today: Am I being a good steward with my encounters with Him? Am I being a good steward with the perspective He is offering me? Do I value my time with Him? Do I value His words?
