Salvation from a Kingdom Perspective (Romans 10:9–10)

"But if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9–10

   Salvation is often viewed as a singular moment, but from a kingdom perspective, Scripture reveals it as a deep inner awakening. Romans 10:9–10 offers a profound foundation for this understanding, showing us that salvation is connected to the divine pattern of creation thoughts, words, and actions working in harmony with God’s design.

   Charles Fillmore emphasized that salvation is the awakening to the truth that you are God’s beloved offspring. This means realizing that you have always been connected to God, you are connected now, and you will forever remain connected. Nothing can separate you from God’s love. Salvation, therefore, is not primarily about sin, but about embracing your true identity as a spiritual being made in God’s image.

   First, salvation begins with the heart and mind. It is not a mechanical recitation of words, but a genuine shift in thinking and feeling, a renewed mind and a pricked heart. This internal transformation must occur before any verbal expression. Salvation is birthed from within, through sincere belief and alignment with God’s truth.

   Second, salvation requires confession with the mouth. Speaking one’s belief aloud is powerful because words are spirit and carry creative force. Confession openly acknowledges faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a cornerstone of kingdom life. When the heart, mind, and mouth come into agreement, the spoken word carries authority, life, and spiritual effectiveness.

   Third, salvation is the embodiment of Christ consciousness. This means stepping into the awareness that “Christ in you” is indeed your hope of glory. Everything Jesus represented His nature, ministry, and power is accessible within you. Salvation becomes a lifestyle of thinking as Jesus thought, speaking as He spoke, and living as He lived. It is the ongoing realization of your divine identity and authority through Him.

   In conclusion, salvation from a kingdom perspective is not a one-time occurrence but a continuous unfolding of spiritual awareness. It includes a transformed heart and mind, a bold confession of faith, and the lived expression of Christ consciousness. This understanding reinforces the eternal truth: nothing in creation can separate you from God’s love. Salvation is your awakening to, acceptance of, and alignment with this unbreakable connection.

📖 Reflection: In what areas of your life is God inviting you to awaken more fully to your true identity in Him?

💡 Action Step: Speak a declaration of faith today that aligns your heart, mind, and words with God’s truth about who you are.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
