We must always keep in mind, the Lord of heaven and earth will share His glory with no man. I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to carved images. God made this statement through His representative Isaiah. He also made this stern statement through the same representative. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; for how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another. By the way, God's Word does not change for anyone.
One of the first attitude adjustments we must make is to get rid of our religious mindset (thinking). As I have mentioned several times, kingdom living has nothing to do with religion. For one thing, religious thinking believes in coexistence. It makes room for everybody; every sect, every denomination, every belief system, every philosophy, those with high values and those with no values at all, those who believe in many gods, one god, or no god. It reminds me of a meal called jambalaya.
Coexistence says, "Lets all try to get along. After all, there are many roads to the truth and one road is just as valid as the next." Coexistence makes room for Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Christian Science, Scientology, Unitarianism, Baha'i, Hare Krishna, witchcraft, atheism and all the rest. Coexistence regards accommodation as the highest value.
I stand in great company when I say, there is no such thing as coexistence in the Kingdom of heaven. The Kingdom did not come to earth to coexist. It came to take over and reform. In the Kingdom, there is only one vision, one will, one standard, one law, one belief system, one value system, one culture: the King's. The existence of any other constitutes rebellion. If the King's Word is law and absolute, how can there be multitudes of little "kingdoms" within the Kingdom? There can't be. Since there is only one King and only one Kingdom, to coexist is impossible.
Now that I have given you the truth concerning the kingdom, what or how are you going to respond to it? King Jesus made this statement: "...and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
Isaiah 42:8 Isaiah 48:11 John 8:32
