In the human realm, physical conquests have ruled – from sticks ‘n stones to nuclear fission and beyond, so obsessed are we with developing greater and greater mousetraps! But everything’s reversed in the spiritual dimensions. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 KJV. Quite a different mindset!

Think non-power is dangerous? Think again! We who find letting go and venturing out into the unknown intimidating ought to recognize the fear is that of truly relying on Christ whose kingdom is NOT of this world.

If we want to claim the courage to trust Him where it really counts we must develop this courage in our day-to-day choices. The Kingdom of God isn’t gleaned by reconstruction, but by deconstruction; not by putting new wine into old wineskins but by seeking another dimension in our thought-life where we find a whole new set of values, a brand new way of living, loving and sharing life.
