Kingdom Quotes

“[The] insistence on the absolutely indiscriminate nature of compassion within the Kingdom is the dominant perspective of almost all of Jesus' teaching. What is indiscriminate compassion? 'Take a look at a rose. Is is possible for the rose to say, "I'll offer my fragrance to good people and withhold it from bad people"? Or can you imagine a lamp that withholds its rays from a wicked person who seeks to walk in its light? It could do that only be ceasing to be a lamp. And observe how helplessly and indiscriminately a tree gives its shade to everyone, good and bad, young and old, high and low; to animals and humans and every living creature -- even to the one who seeks to cut it down. This is the first quality of compassion -- its indiscriminate character.' (Anthony DeMello, The Way to Love)... What makes the Kingdom come is heartfelt compassion: a way of tenderness that knows no frontiers, no labels, no compartmentalizing, and no sectarian divisions.”

“However grand our sacramental downsittings and updressings may be, they remain only and precisely sacraments: real presences, under particular signs, of the happier order that faith can discover under any and all signs. They're a bit like the church. As long as we see them as an earnest of the kingdom, they're all right; when we put on airs and act as if they were the kingdom itself, they look just silly.”

“The man who has no struggles will never find his strength. The soul that never questions lives devoid of answers. The mind that fears stillness often runs itself ragged. And, the person who cannot ask for help has already decided to fail. It is in our process that we discover HIS pathways & in our questions that HIS wisdom is made known. Never let anyone convince you that GOD is so small that HE cannot handle big questions or so frail that HE cannot carry you when you cannot stand on your own. Don't run & hide from HIM on days of great transition and testing, but run toward the Master, and with hands lifted and heart wide open shout "I still believe you even though I cannot see you!" And, I heard the scripture say, "HIS strength is made perfect in our weakness.”

“The failure of today's believers to fully tap into the power of the Holy Spirit is what makes the Church appear like just any other religion: ritualistic, dogmatic, and yes, dare I say it: powerless.”

“Frisland is a country that's so powerful it had itself removed off all world maps, so it could stealthily gain influence. It has an ancient ruler named King Anthony, better known as Susan B. Anthony. Susan really do be Anthony. King Anthony began to reign over Frisland just as soon as Susan B. Anthony "died." At first, King Anthony was kept alive through crude cloning techniques, but over the last century, technology has advanced so far that now King Anthony exists as a spirit embedded in a hologram.”

“On Dorne and the North: One is hot and one is cold, yet these ancient kingdoms of sand and snow are set apart from the rest of Westeros by history, culture, and tradition. Both are thinly peopled compared to the lands betwixt. Both cling stubbornly to their own laws and their own traditions. Neither was ever truly conquered by the dragons. The king in the North accepted Aegon Targaryen as his overlord peaceably, whilst Dorne resisted the might of the Targaryens valiantly for almost two hundred years, before finally submitting to the Iron Throne through marriage. Dornishmen and Northmen alike are derided as savages by the ignorant of the five 'civilized' kingdoms, and celebrated for their valor by those who have crossed swords with them.”

“The power to become sons of God is the greatest power ever given to men.”

“The greatest difficulty to overcome for those who seek the Kingdom has to do with discovering and embracing their true Kingdom identity.”

“Pilgrims from all over the world were making their way to the place deemed the pearl of the Middle East. The city was reminiscent of a modern-day Persepolis. Its buildings, like towering pillars, tested the sky’s limit. The evenly paved roads belched with the smell of new tarmac, as if a million masons woke up every morning and by hand lay asphalt one grain at a time. People of all colors, ethnicities, creed and social statuses came bearing money, knowledge or experience in order to build their legacies in the new kingdom, sprouting out of the desert. Dubai had arrived.”

“Seeing the evil days and wisely stocking up on emergency provisions doesn't make you any less Spirit-filled.”

“So if you, O subsequent ones, ever deign to look down at us from your summit of effortless superiority, remember that you have only scaled it on the back of our efforts. For it is thankless to grope in the dark and tempting to rest until the light of understanding shines upon us. But if we are led into this temptation, your kingdom will never come.”

“We often make the grave theological mistake of equating the sovereignty of God and everything happening in the earth realm as being 'His Will'.”

“The message of salvation alone makes converts, but the message of the Kingdom is meant to make disciples.”

“In many ways, the present world system traumatizes us. It keeps us in fear--fear of failure, fear of lack, and fear of man. But praise be to God, the King, because His 'perfect love casts out fear.”
