KINGDOM DYNAMIC
Ready for A-game kingdom dynamics?

We daylight kingdom dynamics in this section of the Smart Edit newsletter each week.

What are dynamics? Here’s a good working definition: forces or properties which stimulate growth, development, or change within a system or process.

For our application, the “process” is a growth process — being conformed to the character (nature) and capabilities (works, signs, miracles) of Jesus Christ (Romans 8.29)

The “system” is what Century One Christians called the Way. In short the “system” is the Kingdom of God — God’s way of being and doing.

Please know that kingdom dynamics are not mechanistic. Nor formulaic.

They are sourced in Christlikeness, our vital connection to Christ as Head over all, and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

There’s a way that things work. A few examples of kingdom dynamics:

  • EVERYTHING IS CREATED WITH LOVE and works at it’s optimum potential by love. God is love. Creation is an expression of his love. And love is “coded” into all reality.

  • Run with TIGHT BANDS OF QUALITY BELIEVERS to experience God’s highest. Jesus, and later Peter, were case studies in dismissing the crowd, praying, and then declaring to see extraordinary miracles. See Matthew 9:18-19, 23-26 and Acts 9.36-42.

Other examples include the need for fierce faith and unleashing the potential of Christ into anything. And there’s so much more in God’s amazing kingdom!

Q4U: Are you ready to discover the kingdom dynamics of Jesus? Will you count the cost to learn and apply these dynamics in your personal world? The dividends can be amazing. We need everyone to show up with their A-game.

RENEWING THE MIND
Higher thoughts

Imitate God as children. God likes his own glory. His nature. God enjoys himself. He does. He will “jump” on our lives with his presence and power when we imitate him.

Establish belief set points that are 10X what you think is possible. Take prayer-borne action that is 10X what you think is necessary. Mark Batterson says that anything less than 70% effort maintains the status quo.

Don’t take God’s name and put it on things that misrepresent him. That’s disobeying the 3rd commandment … taking his name in vain. Honor his glory and reputation and he’ll honor you.

WORD WEALTH
Dominion

Dominion is essential in following Jesus at the highest level. In Old Testament Hebrew, "moshel" means dominion, sovereignty, jurisdiction, rulership.

Zechariah 9:10 promises that ultimately the Lord’s “dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth” (NKJV).

God grants us the ability to exercise dominion in Christ: “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands” (Psalm 8:6 NKJV).

God is sovereign. He’s King. We are His Vice-Regents … called to rule on His behalf.

Let’s pray and affirm together: Father, thank you for restoring my dominion in Christ. Help me to be faithful as your Vice-Regent, exercising dominion for your glory. I will rule on your behalf. Amen.

STELLAR QUOTE
New beginnings

After 70 years in Babylonian exile, a remnant of Jews returned home. Zerubbabel, Judah’s governor, led the temple rebuilding. The Lord rejoiced to see the work begin. In our lives, He also delights in new beginnings and the progress we make. Don’t despise the smallness of new beginnings. Align with his building activity in your life.

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.

Zechariah 4.10 NLT

HEALTH
Magnesium deficiency linked to metabolic syndrome

It’s believed that over half of Americans don't get enough magnesium.

Common symptoms of low magnesium include muscle cramps, headaches, eye twitches, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, and depression.

A deficiency initially impacts energy production. Magnesium is involved in over 300 bodily functions.

Low magnesium levels can lead to insulin resistance and impaired glucose uptake by cells, increasing the risk of metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes.

Be proactive about your health: research wellness, consult your doctor, and get your magnesium levels tested.

Ensure sufficient intake through quality foods and supplements.
