• Growing Truth Within to Thrive Genuinely Without

    Who we are today does not compare to who we were yesterday if you are growing out of the old you. The invisible Christ effect on us creates, in time, a whole new you that might shock you.

    I keep growing into who I am in Christ through a process of truth and understand of that truth. One day I understand one truth then the next I understand another.

    This way of drip feeding me knowledge has made me stronger to defend who I am and given me freedom to be me. I had all kinds of worldly understandings of who I am and none of them would help me fight the battle I am fighting.

    The Battle Within

    We all have an inner battle we fight and we need to give it a name. I called those disobedient characters, of the old me, Demonic Divas. And the obedient characters of the new me Heavenly Hosts.

    The battle for me rages on inside me on the daily, but the Lord is winning. He is raising up a Victorious Kathleen who understands her Kingdom Cause. She is going to thrive genuinely without in her Kingdom Cause.

    The Kingdom Cause Battle

    There is no reason for anyone to know who they are if they are not being armed to fight a battle for others. The battle within is the growing ground for the battle without. The battle without is our Kingdom Cause.

    What injustice are you going fight to dissolve? Who needs freedom from what? This is your Kingdom Cause.

    Each time we grow out of our Demonic Divas we are like a tree planted by the water that gives shelter to those who need us and are coming behind us to fight in their Kingdom Cause.

    There will be no victory if we don’t fess up to the battle we wage. Our willingness to fight for who we are in Christ establishes a path for others to follow so they too can drink of our victorious identity in Christ.

    My Visionary Living Advice 💦 for you this week is to recognize your Demonic Divas and begin to activate your Heavenly Hosts.
