Kingdom or Carnal

In Daniel 7:13-14 the dominion, glory, and kingdom given to the Son of Man were not reserved for some distant future.

Mark 1:15, Matthew 28:18, Colossians 1:13 and multiple other verses in the Bible show that this authority was inaugurated at the resurrection and handed to the church to carry now, not someday.

The core problem is simple: most believers have quietly accepted that dominion belongs to someone else. Government, culture, education, medicine, the public square, all of it gets treated as territory Jesus doesn't reach. But there is no area of life where Christ is not Lord.

Jesus has already been given all dominion, and the church has the honor of carrying that dominion into enemy-held ground rather than surrendering it.

The reaction many Christians have when Jesus is declared Lord over civic power, a flinch, a recoil, what Paul calls carnal Christianity.

Carnal means flesh-governed instead of Spirit-governed, and flesh always shrinks from Christ's dominion because His dominion was never its inheritance.

A spiritual, kingdom-minded church that understands the assignment it's actually been given knows that there is no neutral ground.

Every time the church retreats from a sphere of culture, that space does not stay empty, something else moves in to fill it.

There's an open door for people to surrender to Jesus as Savior before the day comes when He returns as Judge.

Thousands of christians across america are refusing to keep living carnal and are starting to live like the kingdom has already been given, because it has.

Christ Is King. Live Like It.
