Denise: Are you trying to say the Kingdom is among us?
In hindsight and in spirit that's how I interpret what you said.
It's like your Father paid you a visit a day or so ago. It's like you guys chatted up a storm and you were completely honest with Him about yourself. And as a "thank you"
He appears to have given you a little present. Looks like the one you've been wanting all this time.
Now you see with your own eyes how God opens up a person's understanding when they begin to believe Him. You used some really good scripture backup too by the way and put your thoughts together pretty nicely for after all you've just been through.
And all because you did exactly what you're telling us to do -- you "overcame yourself."
It's not easy to do! But you're right -- God's only asking a little of us knowing He's got something major in store for us later. But that's what Paul meant when he said we have to go through these "
light and
momentary" afflictions. But that's nothing to be compared with what God has in store for us. As you yourself see.
"But you have to overcome yourself" he he!! We just have to get over ourselves. ha -- I love that.
And just like an adult you come back to the forum all excited to tell your friends and family how very sorry you are and share what God and you have been talking about in spirit. Which I'm thrilled to hear. At first, I was like, oh boy, here we go aginnnn....
But from my vantage point I'm pretty sure what I'm seeing from you is, something like the entire Sistine Chapel (
the Kingdom / AGE of God) on the head of a pin (
in the space provided for your post). ( They laughed at Jesus too.)
It's clear to me you and God talk -- your communication style gives you away: "I understand best when I'm using
analogies, Gina. Please be patient with me..." And it occurs to me that analogies are like parables. And we all know how God just loves, loves, LOVES parables.

I know them in "here." I don't like it when some people don't get what I'm saying. But that's part of "boot camp" (judgment) I guess. We'll have to be able to handle people's unbelief just like Jesus did. Some are gonna laugh, others will be jealous, others are gonna say all manner of evil against us. "If they hated Me they'll hate you." No student is greater than His teacher. Good thing if you like sports -- you're like halfway there. (I'm terrible at sports, or couldn't you tell?
)
God's like, "Hey, Denise, Thanks for being honest with Me. Here's a little gift for you. Love you! Dad"
Your posts lit up my soul.
As for sporting events in the Kingdom -- I don't know but I can see how you'd wonder about that, especially if you like sports. You won't be bored in the Kingdom, that's for sure !
And you're wondering if there'll be a need for doctors in the age to come. Well, here's what I think -- you said you got a little unstable there for a while, right? But you get that God has the ability to steady stars with a Word, so why not people? Just like Jesus did -- with a Word. That's basically what healing (salvation) is right -- stabilizing things, so to speak.
I know some are gonna think I'm taking liberties here, but I believe, just like Jesus, those who he gives his power to will have that kind of power and authority to simply speak a word and change people's lives for the better (and it won't go to their heads because their focus will be on bringing glory to God; not themselves--but they will definitely
share in His glory and it'll be exciting).
I believe all this will make a lot more sense to us later down the road. But I love what you've shared. This was a fun post and not boring to me at all.
You're an absolute joy to read.
Love,
Gina
