Welcome to Kingdom Integrity Publishing

12 Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in the Light.
13 [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.
15 [Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
16 For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
18 He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].
19 For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently.
20 And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:12-20 AMP, [emphasis added]

The kingdom that is referred to in our name, Kingdom Integrity Publishing, is the Kingdom of God. This invisible, spiritual kingdom is ruled by Almighty God through the Son of His love and the Holy Ghost. The phrases Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are used interchangeably in the Bible and in Kingdom Integrity publications (compare Matthew 5:3 with Luke 6:20 and Matthew 8:10-11 with Luke 13:28-29).

Each Kingdom Integrity essay can be used as a mirror to examine whether you are presently part of the problem (the fallen Creation) or are becoming part of Father God’s Solution (that is solely found in Christ; Head and Body). If you have been confused by the many conflicting voices found in the world, worldly Christianity (corrupted and manipulated by the spirit of the world) and your own carnal mind these messages may help you as you seek the Lord and align your heart with the will of God for your life.

The scope of the Kingdom Integrity messages is the "middle ground" of spiritual maturity between the starting point of being born from above and the goals of attaining to the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ and holy union with God (Ephesians 4:13, Philippians 3:7-4:1).

Kingdom Integrity publications are based on the Old and New Covenant Scriptures, not the dead letter of the words of the Bible, but only as the Truth is revealed, interpreted, applied and anointed by the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 4:1-6). These writings may help shed God’s Light on the ways in which the quickening power of the Holy Spirit has been raising you up (growing you up in every way) into Him who is the Head, into Christ. Through these essays, you may also find confirmation to the things Lord Jesus, the Word made flesh, has been speaking to your heart.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:17-24 NKJV, [emphasis added]

And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]. Luke 9:23 AMP, [emphasis added]

Lord Jesus is alive and His disciples hear His Voice and are being taught by Him. Today, many are called to follow Lord Jesus to learn through a deep and personal walk with Him all that is necessary to fulfill the will and purposes of God for their lives. Applied prayerfully, Kingdom Integrity publications may help if you are called by Jesus and choose to follow the Lord and learn from Him. For those of you who have already answered the Lord's call to discipleship and are faithfully following and serving Him, these messages may provide some confirmation to what Jesus has been teaching you (Isaiah 53:11; Jeremiah 9:23, 24; John 17:3; Philippians 3:3-4:1; 2 Peter 1:3).

If you have responded to Lord Jesus' call to follow Him and He is becoming the desire of your heart, Kingdom Integrity publications may help you overcome some of the challenges that present themselves as you endeavor to ascend as far in Christ and as deep in knowing Jesus as is possible. If loving God with all of your heart and your neighbor as yourself were easy, most believers would be doing it.

If you are responding to God’s love, mercy and grace with a passion to discern and obey the Father’s will for you; Kingdom Integrity publications may also serve as a "field guide" and, at times, a "survival manual" to help you hear and obey Lord Jesus’ Voice as you learn to follow Him on the difficult way of the Lord that few find. These messages are published to help instruct, prepare, warn, caution, correct, guide and encourage all who are choosing to press into the kingdom of God by learning to submit to Jesus as Lord over all the aspects of their lives.

Welcome to Kingdom Integrity Publishing.

Ephesians 4:11-16

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Ephesians 4:11-16 ESV, [emphasis added]
