We have a very encouraging message today.Last time our topic was, deconstruct to reconstruct. There was more to say, so we decided to do part 2. God wants to deconstruct some things in us so he can reconstruct a more perfect you. When Jesus said, it is finished, he didn’t say I did it all and there is nothing left for you to do. He said that my work is finished.  Contained in the teachings of Jesus and in his statement, it is finished, there is no hopelessness. He came to bring a full consciousness of abundant life, complete forgiveness, redemption from all sin, and victory over death and the grave. We need to take responsibility for our own spiritual growth.The good news is, as God deconstructs us, he is always faithful to reconstruct us with a better version of ourselves. Now he is always there to help us, but he is not going to do it for us.kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

Deconstruct to Reconstruct / God wants to deconstruct some things in us so he can reconstruct a more perfect you.Most of us if not all of us have believed in a false identity of who we think we are. Deconstruct to reconstruct allows us the ability to find our true identity, who we really are and who God really is.Deconstruction – to break something down into its separate parts in order to understand its meaning, especially when this is different from how it was previously understood.If this sounds harsh, please believe me, we love the church (people) and its leaders. Most leaders are doing their best to bring the gospel as they see fit. The problem is when they are not open to another view or they try to control people with their man-made rules and regulations, they have taken on a pharisaical spirit. No one can say that they know it all and have no need to learn more. That is the problem with many denominations. If you come up with a truth that God shared with you, that goes against their belief system, to remain a member, you must stop believing it or leave that denomination. That is nonsense and not of God. There is too much fear in the body of Christ of moving on with the Lord. We have been programmed to believe that God can be figured out and we are to believe what the church leaders say, regardless of what God is saying. I have heard pastors who have received a word from the Lord but were afraid to deliver it to the congregation in fear of people leaving. I say to that pastor, deliver that word without fear. God will handle the outcome.Isa said that God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.Reconstruct - to build or create again something that has been damaged or destroyed. Restoring, rebuilding, and repairing. to abandon earlier positions, beliefs, etc.; cause to adjust to new or current situations: to re-create in the mind.We must have an open pliable heart before God. Let’s give him our whole heart to work with. After all, he said that if we seek him with our whole heart, we will find him.

What comes to mind when you think about this topic? How can there be a Bible within the Bible?You might think it strange, but we will not be discussing the book; we are going to talk about what God is doing in us. The kingdom of God is within, and we are told to seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. What are all these things? All our needs and that he will supply. That is what we are talking about today.The writer of Hebrews puts it this way, I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:If you feel like the heavens are brass and you are having a difficult time connecting with God, we have some awesome news today. Maybe you read the Bible for hours, but you don’t understand what you have just read? You may feel confused or feel stagnate, you can change that today by bringing your open, teachable heart to the Lord. Don’t let fear or something somebody has said to you stand in the way of a deeper walk with the Lord. Jesus is telling us that there is a lot more than what you are hearing at your local church and what we are even saying on Kingdom Building. Be hungry, dive into the deep waters. Trust the Holy Spirit as your teacher, and he won’t let you go so deep that you drown. He knows just what you have need of before you ask. Fear will hold you back from learning and understanding the Bible within the Bible. There are so many layers to the Bible. When you come with an open, teachable heart, not only will the written word become more alive to you, but you will also begin to hear the rhema voice of the Lord more clearly than ever before. My sheep knows my voice.

What does it mean to be a new creature in Christ?Has God really created us to be creators?We all know that there is only one creator, however we are his sons and daughters, and he has given us the ability to carry out his will.We learn 3 very important things from 2Cor 5:1.      We no longer see Christ or anyone from a human point of view. We are spiritual beings experiencing an earthly life. When all is said and done, we came from spirit, and we have always been spirit, just for a season we are in these earthly bodies.2.      When you are born again, there is an awakening to this fact and all the old way thinking in the lower realms become a new way of thinking in a much higher realm, but we have a choice, to remain in the earthly realm or to ascend into the heavenlies. Believe me, I have seen both and I choose to go up higher.3.      The key to all of this is to be reconciled to God through Christ, because when that happens, we aren’t tied down by sin, because God has cancelled all sin. Now, we go out and restore others.Creature - to completely change or transform. The act of creating. The creator is God. God creates by the power of His word: "God said...and it was so."It is all about the condition of our heart. Our attitude and what we speak creates. It can create unity or division

How Do We Learn to LoveMany folks only want to love those who love them. It is easy to love those who love us; however, we are called to love the unlovely unconditionally as God loves us unconditionally. The world does not see love the way God sees it. Why does God expect us to love murderers, thieves, or politicians (just kidding). Today we are going to discuss the more difficult side of love. The part we must learn. We must learn to love. In order to walk in love, grow in love, manifest love and release love, we must first learn to love. Our egos stand in the way of loving God and others. The ego is selfish and self-serving. We must re-learn or deconstruct what our carnal, fleshly thinking has taught us about love and have our mind re-newed by the mind of Christ. The flesh says, I am going to get what’s mine or it’s all about me. What the ego says is I am the most important and smartest person in the room.  Ego love is based on personality and is selfish, lawless, and fickle. The humble Christ mind love says, how can I help to make someone’s day. Lord, who can I serve today, how can I get this person to smile and help them believe that God and I really love them.Why does God want us to learn how to love?Learn: to gain knowledge or understanding by study, instruction, or experience. Learning from experience is the big one. If we learn from our experience, we will be more loving. We will make mistakes along the way but always realize that he is constantly working in us what is pleasing in his sight. We are all a work in progress. So don’t be too hard on yourself.

The Gateway to HeavenJacob talked about the House of God and the gateway to heaven.What is the House of the God and the gateway to heaven and where is it?The first time the house of God was mentioned in the Bible was when Jacob dreamed about a ladder set on earth reaching to heaven. What Jacob experienced that day is something we will or have already experienced in our own lives.One thing the House of God isn’t, it isn’t a building. When Jacob said this, he was on the road from Beersheba heading towards Haran. He was in the middle of nowhere.Jacob received a major revelation that day. Not only did he receive a revelation, but his life was also permanently changed. He saw God in a whole new way, he was born again. He saw the gate of Heaven which was a passageway from one reality to another. There was a shift in his consciousness. He could now distinguish between earth and heaven.He went from Jacob, the deceiver to eventually become Israel, which means, God prevails.The born-again experience changes our thinking, our attitude and our nature. The old passes away and we become new. We are being changed from glory to glory.If you are like Jacob (supplanter, one who is journeying from place to place to find satisfaction) counting the past and looking to the future, change your attitude to that symbolized by Israel, and find peace in the Lord's reality. We can be reached at:kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

Knowing Your Thoughts are Aligned with GodWe are constantly bombarded with thoughts daily, some good and some bad. It’s what we do with those thoughts that determine which road we go down. It is the same with processing thoughts about ourselves and God that determine how we mature and grow or remain the same. Let’s say we had a thought, or we heard someone say something that we haven’t heard before and we ask God does this line up with you? Is this a thought I should entertain, or should I let it go? There is one easy way to determine, is this of God? We will be discussing that as well as other topics today here on Kingdom Building.First of all, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one can approach the Father but by me. Jesus says he is the way to the Father. He didn’t say that a set of rules and regulations will get you to the Father. He didn’t say that organized religion will get you to the Father and he definitely didn’t say that performing a certain way or behaving a certain way, is the way to the Father.God will never make you feel like you are falling short or feeling guilty or feeling spiritually inferior. Although, he will lovingly correct you, and there are right ways and wrong ways to correct a child. When God corrects you, you don’t feel bad, no, you feel like you want to pick yourself up and try harder. God is an encourager, not a discourager.

We are going to talk today about heaven and our ascension into it. What is heaven, where is it and how do we get there? It may not be what you have been told. It is not a place where you must die to get there. Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within us. But this kingdom within is not material, it is spiritual. Romans 14:17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.What Paul is saying is try to think about heaven as a state of mind not like a place we would go on vacation (meaning a natural, physical place). We can only attain this by the leading of Holy Spirit.Jesus is bidding all of us to come up here. (to ascend up to him)We had some technical difficulties with this podcast, however we believe that if you can overlook that, there is a wonderful message for you.Email: kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

The Armageddon of the Mind – There is a war being waged against you and the prize to the victor is your mind. Every day is a battle. You can fight the battle, or you can let the Lord fight your battles. How do we know who is winning and how do we win? Stay tuned to this program and see what is necessary on our part to not only win the war but to enjoy a fulfilled and enriched life.Spiritually speaking, Armageddon represents the mountains or challenges in our life that tend to crowd into our lives and attack our minds. Jesus said that we should speak to the mountains in our life to be removed and cast into the sea, but to move those mountains, we must exercise our faith which is truly his faith. The Armageddon of the mind creates a war or a battleground of good vs evil, so do we choose following the leading of Christ or the leading of our selfish desires. Now the good news is because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross he finished what we could never finish which allows us to live without condemnation, shame, and guilt. His verdict for us is not guilty. John 3:18 says, He who believes in Him is not condemned.

To live a limitless life, we must first take off the limitations. Sometimes we place limitations on ourselves without even realizing it. Today, we are going to begin to remove things that we have allowed to limit us in our day to day walk with the Lord. We are going to stretch our faith to believe what we thought was impossible is really possible.Our Father wants the best for us and has provided us with the best. It’s just that we tend to fall short of receiving his best. We allow things to distract us which causes us to miss out on a limitless life.No matter who you are, now should be your best life yet. The thief in our life is our mistaken identity (carnal thinking) in who we think we are instead of who God says we are. It robs us of the life Father has provided us. Some settle for a lower-level life in a lower dimension because of what we were taught to believe or our lack of desire to seek the Lord with all our heart. We must believe that he is a present God and not just this God of the Bible!Contact us atkingdombuilding73@gmail.com

We know that light always prevails over darkness because God is light, however there is a lot of talk about evil. We will discuss first this concept of evil. What is it, where is it and how do you get rid of it? Be prepared to look with an open mind at a thought that may change your thinking on this subject.Evil is in the Bible 613 times. “Evil” is that which is opposed to God, that which is the opposite of God, and that which is contrary to God. Evil usually shows up in our thoughts or deeds.It did not come as a shock to God when he saw that man had evil in his heart. It all started when the serpent told the woman, "you won't surley die if you partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil".When we listen to the serpent, we are choosing our wants over his needs.The serpent will always ask us these questions, did God really say that? Does God really want you to do that? He might even say, is it really worth your time and efforts to follow Jesus?We can listen to God or the serpent. If we listen to the serpent, we choose to remain in a lower existence or realm. If we choose to listen to God, we are caught up with Him in the heavenly realms.Choose this day whom you will serve!To contact us or for free copies of the poems:kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

We live in a time when God is revealing many things to those who are seeking him with their whole heart and the number one thing, he is revealing is Jesus Christ in us. Sometimes the revealing comes with exposing. I believe he is also exposing those who come in the name of the Lord with their own motivations. Look at all the cults that have been exposed lately. Men claiming to be Jesus.Don’t be deceived. Always keep your eyes on Jesus and not on man. God uses man to help you on your journey, but no man/woman should be considered any more than just a servant of God only saying and doing what God tells them to say and do.One thing God is revealing today is how the fear of man is influencing the political and religious arenas in the world. This includes political and religious groups. If our focus and time is focused on these two things, it is time to re-focus and put Jesus first in our life.Kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

There is a lot of talk about the kingdom of heaven/God, but do we really understand what it is, where it is and how to get there?Jesus told Nic (John 3:3) that you can’t even see the kingdom unless you are born again, born from above, born of the Spirit. After seeing the kingdom, you can check it out from afar, but you still haven’t entered or experienced the kingdom. Once you enter the kingdom, you have just walked through the gate, which is a big step. A much bigger step than seeing it from afar, but you haven’t experienced anything yet. I can remember as a kid going to coney Island and my dad would pull up to the gate and I could finally see the sign and my expectation was heightened, but then we entered through the gate and I could see the pool and the rides and I got more excited, but none of that could compare to the exhilaration of that first ride on the roller coaster and then a swim in the pool. Now I was experiencing the park.There is a progression in this journey of ours. See the kingdom, enter the kingdom and experience the kingdom. Jesus compared it to a mustard seed. Something that starts out very small and grows into something big. Small thoughts of truth grow into an abiding place of a larger, higher range of thoughts. For more information on the mustard seed look up our podcast,  Everything you need is in the seed.If you would like a copy of Jim's poems or you would like to contact us, email us at:kingdombuilding73@gmail.comThanks for listening.

Come Out from Among Them/Come out of BabylonMost people think Paul was saying to not associate with unbelievers. Taking it literally, it definitely seems that way, but we are going to show you what we think that verse is really talking about. If you are of the mind that we are to never associate ourselves with unbelievers, you would have to take Luke 15 out of the Bible, because that would go against the teachings and actions of Jesus. The religious people criticized Jesus because he did associate with non – believers. It is clear in Luke 15 that Jesus spent time and broke bread with unbelievers and was heavily criticized by the religious leaders.So, what is he saying when he said, Come out from among them. On one hand, we are not to associate with unbelievers and on the other hand, how can we share the love of God without associating with unbelievers? He is not saying stay away from unbelievers, he is saying don’t allow yourself to take part in a lower lifestyle. Jesus was around them, but his mission was to have them join in with him not join in with them. He was taking them up to a higher place, where they had never been before. He was bidding them to come up here. The mind is the battlefield (spiritual Armageddon). Our soul, which is our mind, intellect, will and emotions, must submit to the Spirit (the mind of Christ) that resides in us. God has equipped us to fight these battles in our mind. We can overcome in this fight; however, we must realize it is a process. Our part is to have the desire in our heart to allow him to change us and he has already put that desire in us.Toreceive free peoms or to contact us:kingdombuilding73@gmail.comThanks for listening.

First Things FirstThe definition of the word first is coming before all others in time or order. (highest importance)Ask yourself today, what is the most important thing in my life? What can’t I live without?We are going to talk today about “first things first”. Putting our life in perspective. Bring more meaning and direction in our life.Jesus said that all commandments are contained in 2 simple but very important commandments; love God and love your neighbor as yourself. It all starts with loving God. When we lose our first love, something else has taken its place.In the church of Ephesus, there were a lot of good things going on. The problem was those things took the place of the most important thing… the love we first had for the Lord. Their eyes got off the prize. Rev 2:1-7Part of this grace walk on this earth is learning to handle disappointment, resentment and hurt. On this journey we are on, God gives us solutions and tools to handle anything we are faced with here. We must remember that when the enemy presses in, we can’t forget what he has provided. Many times, the things we are seeking are on the other side of adversity. Our confession and the attitude of our heart determine how we handle adversity.You may contact us at: kingdombuilding73gmail.comThank you for listening

2 myths about God – it is time we are awakened to the fact that in some cases, God is not who we have been told he is.What is a myth? a widely held but false belief or idea. We are here to dispel some myths about God. We all have been told things about God that are just not true. We are going to talk about 2 myths today and one relates to the other.1.      God considers everyone sinners, even those of the faith.2.      Our faith, behavior and performance determine whether we get into heaven.Listen up and see what you think.We can be contacted at kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

Breakthrough is avaliable to everyone.David ask God for breakthrough with his enemies and God delivered into David's hands.The Hebrew word perazim means breach or breakthough. We are called to be repairers of the breech. Something doesn’t need repaired if it isn’t broken. So, there is hope for those things that are broken. Right now, Jesus is available to repair what is broken in our lives. In a similar way, the Savior repaired the breach, or distance, between us and Heavenly Father, which is the most important thing we can let him do.The concept of "The Breaker Anointing" is the ability to call on God to break through any spiritual hindrance either individually or corporately, that would impede His Kingdom and His purposes for the Church in this age. Jesus is the Breaker who goes before us.The anointing breaks the yokes that hinder us physically, emotionally and spiritually. One definition of yoke is an arched device formerly laid on the neck of a defeated person. Sometimes we feel defeated and broke down. This is not a permanent condition. Betrayals, emotional hurts, being easily offended, abandonment, loneliness, fears, limitations, negative words and much more. What does it mean to yoke with Jesus? After all he said, my burden is easy and my yoke is light. The reason a yoke would be light is because the one you are yoked up with is doing most of the work. I said most not all. We have our part to do. It means to put ourselves under His rule, to join together with Him. He is inviting people to put their shoulders into a new yoke, one in which He is the yoke mate. And He promises that, as they submit to His authority and are yoked with Him, they will find rest for their souls.Contact us at kingdombuilding@gmail.comCopies of Jim's poems can be sent out for free.Thank you for listening,Richard E

Spiritual Preppers – overcoming the world in the times we are livingThere seems to be a lot of talk recently regarding "prepping".  More and more, it seems that people are sensing things going sideways in the world today. Things on the economic front to things politically and the divisiveness in our country. Now people that know us and to those who listen to our radio program and podcasts, we are not gloom and doomers. We want to bring you comfort, not fear and anxiety today, however it is time to be prepared for whatever comes our way.We want to bring you comfort, not fear and anxiety today, however it is time to be prepared for whatever comes our way.Currently, nothing is more important in our lives than our spiritual condition and relationship with the Lord. In theses times, we must know God for ourselves. All power and authority is in God and we are blessed tremendously to have the Lord Jesus Christ residing in us, now, today and forever. Isaiah said darkness will cover the earth and intense darkness will cover the people but arise and shine for the glory of the Lord has risen upon us.Listen to the podcast to find ways to be spiritually prepared for the coming days.We can be contacted at kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

Wisdom From Above - The Spirit of WisdomThis topic is vast and deserves time to lay a firm foundation.Ask, seek and knock. All we have to do if we lack wisdom in any given situation is to ask seek and knock on wisdoms door and it will be opened up to us. It sounds easy doesn’t it? It is that easy. Today we are going to take wisdom to another level and discuss with you one of the 7 spirits of the Lord, wisdom. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent, meaning everywhere, but the 7 spirits are designed specifically for us, because we need the 7 spirits of the Lord for God to develop maturity in Christ and live our best life here on earth.The Lord holds great significance on the number 7. This number symbolizes completion or perfection. 3 and 7 are the most important numbers in the Bible. Always take special attention when these numbers are mentioned and don’t forget, God rested on the 7th day. I believe we have entered the 7th day spiritually speaking. Rest does not mean doing nothing, rest means relying on and trusting in the fact that God is in control, and we can rest in that fact. He’s got this. Whatever your situation is, he’s got this.7 Spirits Before His Throne (1:4) = 7 Lamps (4:5) = 7 Spirits of God (4:5) = 7 Spirits of God sent into all the earth (5:6) = 7 Eyes of the Lamb (Christ) (5:6) = 7 Angels who stand before God and blow the 7 trumpets (8:2) = 7 Angels of the 7 Churches who received the 7 letters from Christ (2:1,8,12,18; 3:1,7,14) = 7 Spirits before the throne who sent the 7 Letters to the 7 Churches (1:4). (All these scripture references are found in the book of Revelations)God made it easy. Ask for Godly wisdom and you will receive it. It is not based on your performance. The gifts are without repentance. He gives them unregrettably and they are irrevocable. That means you don’t have to squall and bawl to get them. The Bible says that all we must do is desire his gifts and the Father of Lights will provide. Please sit back and enjoy this wonderful gift called wisdom.We can be reached at kingdombuilding73@gmail.com

The seed is the word of God. If the seed is the word of God than we know that Jesus is the word made flesh. Christ in you is your hope of glory.Anapple seed has everything in it to grow an apple tree. It must be planted in fertile ground and watered and nurtured to grow to full size and that is the same with us. The same is with us, his seed must find fallow ground and be watered by the word to grow into a mature saint of God.Seed--The creative idea inherent in the Word. Its nature is inherited from its parent source, God. The "seed," that is, "the word of God," is the real man--not the external thinking personality that has consciousness of separation, but the internal Spirit center. This is a "Now" word that will bear witness with the sons and daughters of God. Email;kingdom building73@gmail.com
