Brandon Bracey		Seed Devotion: Living Upside Down! Scripture NKJV John 18:36," Jesus aswered, "My Kingdom is not of this world..." Has anyone else seen the news this week of the new house this has been built upside down in Northern Germany? I read yesterday that this new house not only has an upside down exterior(outside), but also an upside down interior(inside). The house will be an exhibit and people will be able to start to come and visit the house this week. I mean this house is REALLY upside down! The carpet, tables, and chairs are all pasted on the ceiling! The people who wrote the article mentioned that people felt dizzy and nuaseous when they walked in. I could not blame them for that! You know, when I first walked into that house I probably would have felt dizzy and nuaseous as well. We are just not used to living upside down! But I truly believe if I actually lived in that house, I would eventually get used to it. It may take months or even years, but I would learn to live upside down! Just like living in an upside down house, it's just like this in the Kingdom of God. The world has programmed our minds with a certain way to live. But now that we are children of God we have to get used to a new way of life. It will not happen overnight. For some it will be quicker than others, but over time we will get used to living for God as we are obedient to his will for our lives. God's Kingdom is so upside down , or rather totally opposite, of the world's system of living. The world says get all the money, power and status you can. But God says give and it shall be given unto you. The world says make it to the top no matter who you step on to get there. But God says you did not come to be served, but to serve. The world says to go curse out your enemy and spread gossip about them. But God says pray for your enemy and operate in love towards them. The Kingdom of God calls for a totally radical change in our whole definition of what life truly is all about. You must always make sure you are Kingdom minded. Here are some things below to help you in this radical change: 1) Understand You Are Different: God did not save you to be like the world. He did not save you so you can keep getting drunk and sleeping around. He did not save you so you can make tons of money being a psychic. He saved you because he loves you and needs you to represent him on this earth. You are a royal priesthood and a holy nation. God's holiness and love must be shown through you. Then God will truly be glorified. 2) Understand You Must Have A Different Mindset: Your mindset can no longer be to get revenge on your coworker who stabbed you in back because you are no longer a slave to sin. In order to be kingdom minded you must meditate on the principles of God's word and live by them. 3) Understand the world can give you nothing: If God created the universe, what can the world give you? Only God can satisfy your every need. When you understand you are different, develop a kingdom mindset, and understand the world cannot give you anything, you will be on the path of success God's way. If you think living in an upside down house is dizzy, imagine being a child of God and still trying to be of the world at the same time. Make the Kingdom of God your true residence today! Heavenly Father, You are so wonderful and good to me. Thank you for choosing me to represent you in the earth. I ask Holy Spirit that you will help me to keep a kingdom mindset and know that I am in the world, but not of it in Jesus name, Amen. Permission To Distribute With Full Recognition Given To Author. If you would like to make Jesus Lord of your life please pray this prayer: Heavenly Father, I repent of my sins and ask you Jesus to come into my heart. Wash me clean and give me a new life. Thank you Lord for saving me, Amen. If you have just prayed this prayer congratulations! You are now saved and apart of the Family of God! The next step is to get into a good bible based church where the Word of God is proclaimed! Please email me at : brandon_bracey00@yahoo.com so I can assist you in your new beginning!
