If you have ever tried to walk in the dark -you know it is not a fun thing, and as soon as you can you are going to look for some light.
Alike, when you get a new computer it is like stumbling around in the dark, not knowing how to do things, as you did before. You were familiar with your old computer but the new is somewhat frustrating until you get the idea -the hang of it. Until you get some wisdom and experience under your belt, you will stumble about.
Well the same is true in the Kingdom of God, until you are permeated with the Word of God to the place where you have gained revelation knowledge -you will stumble.
You will more than likely say things like -this doesn't work for me -I don't know what I am doing. But. if you gave the Word the same priority as you gave in finding that flashlight, if you were as relentless as you were to get to know that new computer- you would find your way in the Kingdom of God quickly.
In fact if you were to be insistent about getting the Word, you would find your way much quicker to God than any other thing you have want of. Because when you are filled with the Spirit of God, you are filled with His power, His revelation knowledge -to know more that you can on your own.
Jesus said the Spirit would tell you things to come be your counselor, stand by, your intercessor, anything you need. That means you never will need a flashlight and your computer will be a breeze to learn because He is in you giving you the skill to know your computer much easier than you could know it by yourself.
He is the most marvelous light ever. A light much more radiant than a flashlight and much more fulfilling than a new computer. But, unless you get the wisdom you need, and follow your spirit -the Spirit of God, and let Him lead you will want to quit.
Therefore if you want to live in the Kingdom of God and have it be second nature to you, if you want to live your life to the fullest -go after God and be insistent on getting to know Him. He is His Word (John1:1) so as you get to know the Word you will get to know Him.
In conclusion then, to live in the Kingdom of God takes time. Time to learn that new way of life and if you spend the time, you won't get frustrated in your walk, because you will be walking in the light. You will have heads up on things and you will enjoy your new life a whole lot more than you enjoy that new computer!
Proverbs 4:7 The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation). Ampc
