'Kingdom Conflicts' Part I

 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday 

(or 'Peak of the week' day!)

Kingdom Conflict's - Part 1

Yesterday, I mentioned in LEJ that I would start a series on 'Kingdom Conflicts'.  Today's lesson is Part 1 of 3 lessons.

In this series I hope to teach about the following: 

• What is 'Kingdom Conflict'? (part 1)
• Where does the 'Kingdom Conflict' come from (part 2)
• How do we get through this 'Kingdom Conflict' & become overcomers (Part 3)

introduction:

' But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.' Matthew 6:33-34 amp bible

Part 1

When You and I came to Christ, we became involved in God's 'Grand Plan' for bringing His Word and righteousness to a world that has gone amuck.  And, You (yes you!!) and I' were chosen' to be part of His 'Grand Plan' of blessing before the foundations of this world. (Wow! ... that sounds 'really BIG' to me!!)

BUT . . . ( a big but!)

It seems that there are unseen forces, mysteries and situations that cause conflict with this 'Grand Plan' in our lives.

And . . . 

It doesn't take a person with a PHD in theology to realize that there is a battle going on out there in the world that wars against us! 

Here's what the Bible sez about the 'Kingdom Conflict'!!

'For our struggle (faithman sez: 'Kingdom Conflict') is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. ' Ephesians 6:11-12

GEE . . . I didn't know that I had to put on armor!! 😕

'The conflict' comes in when the enemy (the devil) begins to start up his NTM (aka: 'noise talking machine') and tries to plant 'doubts' in our minds.  This 'noise' are also some 'thoughts' planted from others who don't know God or those living by their selfish 'intentions' instead of God's will.

Now that is a lot to think about!!

Please go back and read that last statement again!!

Part 1 and 2 will continue on Thursday!

Part 1 and 2 will continue tomorrow!  This is really deep stuff!  But essential to read, think about and live out to have success in our Christian Lives!

Love you guys!

Faith man!
