Religious Mindset vs Kingdom Mindset

Among those who profess to believe in Jesus Christ there are sheep and sheep. There are sheep who listen to the Shepherd's voice and follow Him and there are sheep who follow other sheep.

The Children of the Kingdom, those who know Jesus for real and who follow Him and OBEY Him, who know His voice, they are filled with the Holy Spirit and they are guided by the Holy Spirit. They have a Kingdom Mindset, their mind is set on Jesus, their King, their Master and their Lord and they LISTEN to His voice. Their life is determined by the guidance of the indwelling Holy Spirit. They constantly seek the guidance of the Master, denying themselves, picking up their cross and following Jesus every day. They walk in the POWER of the Holy Spirit, because they are following Jesus.

But there are others with a Religious Mindset. They are led by their knowledge of the Bible and their insight of the scriptures. They refer everything back to the scriptures, they also believe that the Bible is the final authority and they apply the scriptures to their preference. Their faith is DEAD because they believe in the DEAD LETTER OF THE WORD, there is no Spirit. They don't see the Kingdom of God. They are INTO the books, INTO THE WORD, BUT THEY ARE NOT IN THE SPIRIT! They are not led by the Spirit of God. They fumble in the dark while they run after every new teaching and new interpretation of the scriptures, but they never come to the truth because they have not come to Jesus, they are not born again. They are the sheep who follow the lost sheep, the blind leaders of the blind. They have a RELIGIOUS MINDSET, which is dead.

Are you a Child of the Kingdom? Are you filled with the Holy Spirit of God? Are you following Jesus Christ? Is He a reality to you? Do you pray, trust Him, LISTEN and FOLLOW Him? Or do you have a religious mindset? If you are born of God then you have a kingdom Mindset, your mind is set on Christ and you are constantly tuned in to the Holy Spirit of God who guides you into His victory because Jesus is Lord, He is King, He is Master! He is your King, then you have the Kingdom Mindset.

Are you just religious or are you following the King, Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.
