Once again I remind you that God's Kingdom is not here to coexist with the kingdoms of this world, but to supplant and transform them to His likeness. Yeast doesn't believe in coexistence. It permeates and agitates and will not stop until it has transformed its environment into something completely new. the Kingdom of Heaven cannot simply and tidily be given a place sharing the stage with all the religions, philosophies and faith systems of the world. It will grow and expand and overwhelm and transform until it alone is left. All who are Kingdom Citizens face the dilemma and challenge of how to live successfully and simultaneously in two worlds that are in inevitable conflict.
One critical key to our successful navigation within these two worlds is to get it thoroughly into our heads that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a kingdom of coexistence but of transformation; and that it is the Kingdom, not the world, that will ultimately prevail.
This understanding can assist us in developing the habit of thinking with a Kingdom mindset and making Kingdom decisions in every area of our life.
Psalm 145:13 Matthew 13:33
