Day 17 - Realm

Day 17 - Realm

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 

     Gaining the favor and blessing of a king requires entering his realm of influence, where his will and ways are executed. He may be a great leader who listens, understands, and offers much more than what is necessary. However, there can be no expectation of his assistance until one departs from a realm devoid of aid and enters his kingdom, where support is ample. Coming to his realm is only possible through his immigration policy, which follows the methods he has established. All attempts to enter outside of his requirements will prove ineffective. However, for all those who abandon an old kingdom and humble themselves to follow his way, there is hope for meaningful help and resolution.

     The Kingdom Jesus came to establish is unlike any earthly one. Its territory is not defined by borders or square footage. It is a realm accessed only by the means He’s established. All other DIY approaches may be attempted but will eventually be redirected back to His cross point. This way is one that He made Himself with His blood. It ensures that every remnant of old kingdoms is discarded and an entirely new identity and citizenship is established. Everyone who qualifies for His full benefits has only come by His blood’s total identity transformation. However, the magnitude of His protection, care, and provision far exceeds whatever is eliminated in this process.  All who live as new creations in His realm know security, health, and fulfilled purpose far superior to any earthly king’s.
