5 Life-Changing Secrets of Kingdom Living

3. You have to be broken to discover how strong you are.

Strength in weakness is one of the great themes of the Bible. God delights in showing up in the 11th hour when our hands our empty. His strength is actually perfected in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9). In kingdom living the passage to divine power leads through brokenness.

4. The world will hate you, but that’s okay.

When Jesus sent his disciples out on a journey, he didn’t make it easy. He sent them with a warning (Matt. 10) of how hard it was going to be for them. And while he didn’t make it easy, he did say three times, “Don’t be afraid.” Our journeys into the dark places in life may feel lonely, but in kingdom living Jesus goes with us there.

5. You can hear God speak in the silence.

The really great news is God is not hiding in mystery. He is a relational God and wants to be known. If we’ll quiet ourselves and wait on him, he will show up and speak to us in whispers that touch our souls. Jesus tells us that his sheep hear his voice. The world’s noise can get in the way. If we hunger for God, we’ll find him in the quiet places.
