When I came into the kingdom of God, it was an experience of the likes that is hard to describe, but vivid in my hearts treasure chest. I got saved in 1989, surrendered my life to the Lord with all my heart, but in 2000 something happened to me and I entered the kingdom of God. They are not the same, salvation is the runway to the kingdom, so keep moving, you haven’t seen anything yet.

I liken the kingdom of God to the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis. When the children were operating in an innocent curiosity, they found a wardrobe, but only one of the children would go into it and when she did, she found a door at the back of it that opened up to a world she could have never known existed. It was called Narnia.

I had a similar experience, where I was led to the door of the kingdom and the choice was mine to go into it or remain where I was in Christianity. I was saved, but there was more and I was curious, so went through the narrow door, just like in that wardrobe that leads to life. Once inside this kingdom I saw and heard things I had never seen or heard before. It was truly a whole new world where a narrow door led to wide open spaces.

Psalm 119:130 says, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.”

The kingdom of God is unfolding every day revealing things I did not know. It is a perpetual journey of discovering new things about the heart of God in the word of God. Salvation is needed but it is a settlers location, the kingdom of God is eternal and it is a movement that knows no end. I love the kingdom of God and what is unfolding, opening, revealing, makes me want more and more and more of this King and His kingdom.

Come through the narrow door that leads to life, you will encounter a kingdom that knows no end and you will love all the sights, sounds, and stories the kingdom shares. There is so so so so much we do not know, but we are invited by the King to come in to know and be known.
