The Lord God's purpose is to change or create a Kingdom Culture. This has to happen by changing the way we think. This is why God's Constitution (Bible) states that the law of God is good. When we obey the law of the Lord God, we are producing the culture of Heaven. This has nothing to do with practicing a religion, but rather with instating a culture based on the law of God that will permeate and transform every part of society. Paul, who was an ambassador of the Kingdom, described what it meant to exchange the world's culture for the culture of Heaven when he stated: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. To renew our minds means to take on the attitude of Jesus the Christ, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. and to understand that as believers and Kingdom citizens we have the mind of Christ. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. We desperately need to know His mind and discern His thinking, according to the Holy Spirit. Taking up the culture of Heaven means learning to think the Lord God's thoughts and living accordingly.
The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of the heart and mind that manifests itself in culture. The secret to expanding Heaven's culture on Earth is to change individuals mindset, to cultivate them like a garden, carefully seeding their minds with the thoughts, beliefs, ideals, values and convictions of Heaven. The end result will be the transformation of an arid, spiritually barren mental landscape into a verdant and vibrant garden full of life, hope, and unlimited potential. Now arid means: lacking enough water for things to grow, dry and barren. Verdant means 1) green, 2 covered with green vegetation 3) inexperienced, immature.
Now, in contrast to this world's culture, which is reflecting the character of the pretender (Satan), is a culture of desperation, discrimination, depravity, division, and destruction, as well as death. Heaven's culture is a culture of power, provision, and possibility. This is the culture of the King, of whom ambassador Paul states: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
The King wants us to become all that we can be, and He has the power to enable us to succeed.
