This Message is inspired by the Reading “A King” from the Book Overcoming Darkness.

The Cares of This World present many challenges to our Spiritual Growth. When our Spiritual Growth is challenged, The “Old Man” Spirit applies the Belief System of This World and returns us to our old way of Thinking. (Ephesians 4:22-24)

It is our “New” Spirit that is founded in true Wisdom. Our “New” Spirit practices what is Right and what is Pleasing in God’s Sight. (Ephesians 5:15-16, Proverbs 2:6)

The World is populated with Spirits controlled by the Enemy. Darkness and Spiritual Wickedness surround us in all we attempt to accomplish.  It invades our Homes, Businesses and any other places it can find a weakness in our Armor. (John 10:10, 2 Corinthians 11:3, Ephesians 6:11-13)

Spiritual Wickedness attempts to draw us in with kind Words, but Wisdom gives us the ability to discern a wicked Spirit. A Wicked Spirit’s Words and Actions are not in Harmony with God’s Order. They possess A Double Minded Spirit. This Spirit disregards the Practice of Order and only applies the Wisdom of this World. (Proverbs 18:2, James 2:17, James 1:8, James 4:8)

As we Grow Spiritually, we understand that Order is the solid foundation that must be the center of our Lives. God’s Gift of Wisdom grants us the ability to rightly divide the word of truth.  Confusion is never found where God’s Order is the Rule of Law. (Colossians 4:5-6, 1 John 3:18, 1 Corinthians 14:40)

God’s Anointed are Kingdom Builders.  His Anointed are spreading the Message of Glad Tidings and Peace. Their Character and Wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Kingdom Builders exemplify these Character Traits. They are Wise as a Serpent and Harmless as a Dove. (Isaiah 52:7, Daniel 7:27, James 3:17, Matthew 10:16)

Song for the Week:

“A King” Written and performed by John Stuckey Jr

A KING

What makes a King

 Is it the songs he sings

Is it his understanding of goodwill

 And love to all men

Is it his Wisdom

That surpasses Understanding 

Or is it his courage to play 

The last man standing

Is it his voice

That rings far and near

Or is it his voice

That makes all things clear

Is it His Understanding

To always know the difference

 Is it His authority

To always state his preference

Is it His Love

for the Creator

Or Is it His understanding

Of how God grants Him favor

Great is a King

Who is Blessed with Power and Might

To Rule his Territory

With God’s Plan in Sight
