Kingdom Come… With a Side of Revelation and a Double Shot of Conviction.
—What I’ve Discovered So Far at Fearless Bootcamp
Before joining Fearless Bootcamp, I thought I had my
Christian life in decent order. I mean, I prayed (sometimes), I attended church
(regularly-ish), and I could locate the book of Leviticus in under 20
seconds—basically spiritual elite, right?
Then came Rediscovering the Kingdom by Dr. Myles
Munroe, and everything I thought I knew got flipped like a pancake on a
Saturday morning.
Dr. Munroe doesn’t just challenge religious thinking—he politely picks it up, shakes it violently, and drops it off the nearest theological cliff. According to him, the focus of our faith shouldn’t be escaping to heaven but reclaiming Kingdom authority here on Earth. Apparently, God didn’t send Jesus just to rescue us from sin, but to hand us back the keys we lost in Eden. Cue the mic drop moment.
Some of Munroe’s ideas left me blinking at the page like I
was reading a plot twist in a suspense novel: for example, the notion that God
“needs permission” from humans to act on Earth. My eyebrows tried to unionize.
My upbringing screamed blasphemy. But my spirit whispered, pay attention.
This wasn’t just head knowledge—it felt like my brain and
soul were having a strategic board meeting. Suddenly, faith wasn’t passive; it
was powerful. I realized I wasn’t just a “believer.” I was a Kingdom agent.
With divine backing. And possibly the coolest job title on Earth.
Meanwhile, The Covenant by James L. Garlow stepped in
like a calm but powerful professor who came to help me make sense of it all.
Covenant, it turns out, is not just a fancy Bible word; it’s the backbone of
the entire relationship between God and humanity. Like, everything from
salvation to spiritual battles hinges on it. I had no idea I was in such
a high-level divine partnership. Suddenly I felt like I needed to show up to
prayer in a blazer and tie.
The ten steps of covenant-making? Wild. I mean, any ritual
that involves a “walk of death” and exchanging belts makes every wedding I’ve
attended feel woefully underprepared.
The real game-changer for me, though? Prayer. I’ll admit
it—I used to treat prayer like Wi-Fi: I only paid attention when it didn’t seem
to be working. But now, I understand it’s not just a check-in; it’s how Kingdom
citizens legislate Heaven’s will into Earthly reality. Which is to say… I’m
praying with new confidence and less spiritual laziness (and occasionally in
full-on warrior mode).
So, what have I discovered so far?
That I’m not just a passive Christian waiting for a heavenly
Uber to glory. I’m an ambassador. A vice-regent. A fully authorized
representative of Heaven with Kingdom power running through my spiritual veins.
And yes, I still have questions. I still get uncomfortable
with some of these revelations. But that’s growth, isn’t it? Discomfort wrapped
in truth, pointing us back to purpose.
This Bootcamp isn’t just transforming my theology. It’s
transforming me.
And listen, if God can trust me with divine authority, then
I can definitely trust Him with colored berets. (Probably.)
I like it, reminds me of a quote in the movie Courageous
ReplyDeleteSo where are you, men of courage? Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord? It's time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you and to say I will. I will. I will!
This is such a powerful piece. Well connected with a sprinkle of relatable humor. Especially like the section that says - "it’s how Kingdom citizens legislate Heaven’s will into Earthly reality".
