Some Things to think about ...

I have heard a couple of statements that have been churning in my spirit for several weeks. I want to write them for you to consider, mull them over in your mind.

First: "The currency of the Kingdom is Faith, and Faith is simply believing what God has said".
Consider the currency of the world system, and how much some of those who claim to be "of the Kingdom" desire that, instead of the currency of the Kingdom of God. Read the whole "Sermon On The Mount", Matt 5-7 while contemplating this. Especially the last half of chapter 6.

Secondly: "The only weapon you need is Faith, and Faith is simply believing what God has said".
Think about your daily struggles, and what God says about them. Weigh it carefully. Compare truthfully.

Third; consider how much of your life would change, if you would simply - believe! It is becoming more and more obvious to me how different the kingdom of this world is compared to the Kingdom of God. Also obvious is how much the kingdom of this world has infiltrated the religious world. No wonder Jesus said in Matt 5:20, "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds [the] [righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
