The kingdom life is not science or philosophy. The goal is not about how much you can learn as much as it’s about how committed you are to following the ways of Jesus. The kingdom life is all about action, action, and more action. The instructions for living the kingdom life are given to us throughout scripture; the choice to live a spiritual life or not is what is in question. Either you will follow Jesus in all of His ways, or you won’t. If you choose not to, you have the answer as to why you are not growing spiritually. When you find yourself living in the dark like a cockroach, you must understand that it’s because you refuse to put your will in line with God’s. It is nothing more and nothing less. You won’t be obedient and take the necessary spiritual actions.

Prayer
My Sweet Lord, you ask my obedience for my wellbeing. It is only through your radiant grace, mercy, and love that I am allowed to be obedient to Your ways. Please remove from my path any obstacles that will prevent me from seeing You for who You indeed are and what You represent. In Your Spirt and Name, I pray these things. May Your will not mine be done always. Amen.
