There are over 6 billion people on Earth and only a few of them know why they exist. People have the frame that was given to them by their training as children, their surroundings, their friends, their schools, and more. All of this was part of your growth and development, but at some point in your life you connected with the Lord and His kingdom.
Because of this connection, your purpose is related to something bigger than yourself, yet is part of you, the Kingdom of God. The “Kingdom Frame” is our most meaningful and purposeful frame of life and mind. Many of the Scriptures that come to your heart and mind relate to your frame and position in the Kingdom of God.
It is remarkable to note the power and ability accrued by the Kingdom of God has also been vested in us, in Christ. Now that we are part of God's kingdom, He does not want to function without us, “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.”
This is not only supernatural power, but every kind of power, ability, skill, favor, privilege, understanding, and knowledge that He has given you and me, or allowed us to possess. The power that works in us is not a substitute for the expertise we gain in this world. When you have Christ and are part of God's kingdom, all the powers and expertise are maximized to work in you! By this means, you can make a positive impact in our world.
I realized that the power we have is not limited to supernatural power. Everything God does is not supernatural. Everything people need is not received by a supernatural act. Whatever effective power, ability, skill, favor, privilege, understanding, or knowledge that you have is shaped by your relationship with Christ and empowered by the Kingdom of God within you.
We remember the words of Jesus Matthew 6:10, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”
This is our kingdom frame of mind.
