The question of when all things would be restored, popped into my mind during a conversation about a mouse.

The little critter got into the house and then to my desk. Next, he climbed up the back of it, strolled out to the front edge and stared at me.

I presumed he had taken control, so I left. But mostly, I just reacted like a girl.

A friend on Facebook said that all creation is attracted to us in order to restore themselves to God’s presence. But he wasn’t sure what that would look like when it occurred.

I believe this teaching comes from the doctrine of a fallen world. And something about it wasn’t feeling comfortable so, I went to Google for scripture references, and began talking to Father at the same time.

Father immediately reminded me of the Starling trapped in the big warehouse. Compassion overwhelmed me and suddenly I was able to direct the bird to his one narrow escape. I locked on his eyes, as he did on mine from his high perch on a rafter. Then I opened the small door, waved my arms toward it, and said to the bird, “Come, bird, come!” And after a staring contest of several long minutes, he flew out the door.

It honestly felt like I could communicate with him in that space of time. And that he knew I could help him. It was pretty amazing, for sure.

But the world didn’t change in those few minutes. All things weren’t restored as the scripture says. Only the relationship I had with creation stepped into a new place. So, what changed?

Me. I changed. Recently I learned to sit on my throne next to Jesus to rule and reign my kingdom. And I learned my realm of rulership only encompassed things that deeply touch my heart. Which he had.

I made a quick tally of my life and discovered that the times I experienced the supernatural, were times when my heart was deeply engaged. It’s a powerful place!

It’s not a place of superficial emotion. Rather, it’s that place where my heart grasps a situation and won’t let go. It needs to be fixed and Spirit within knows how. This isn’t an issue for the brain or intellect. Reasoning can’t be engaged. Rather it’s raw and natural. And I only wait a moment for Spirit to lead.

Now Father was reminding me that the kingdom is within me and everything operates from there. The world that gets restored is the world that I engage with my deepest heart, intimately, personally, and from my seat next to Jesus, in my kingdom.

This is the place where Jesus has already returned and sits on his throne. Right now. It’s also where Heaven resides, where he waits for me to join him. And it isn’t after I die. It’s already a part of me.

It’s where there is no night and all tears are wiped away. I can experience a lion laying down with a lamb because of it and hear all the heavenly voices singing.

Father taught me how to engage this heart place in my kingdom in order to effect total peace at my workplace. And it didn’t require that I engage anyone in any religious conversations, or lavish loads of hugs. It simply required my decision that only peace was allowed in the building while I was there.

It has also kept snakes off my property for 5 years now and I live in a high desert area of the foothills. There are plenty of snakes around. But I announced to creation at the beginning of my reign that snakes were not allowed. I even watched a bull snake slither over the property line by 3 feet, stop, turn around and leave.

But that declaration came from the deep place in my heart where I was engaged at that moment. And I followed where it led me to speak.

I’m not always in that place. And believe me, I’ve tried to live from there 24/7 but found that it isn’t normal. It’s an unrealistic expectation.

I’m a human being with practical life chores and situations which require my brain and my body but not necessarily my deepest heart or my royal position. Heck, even the royals of England go to their bedrooms, take off their crowns, and put their comfy jammies on. It doesn’t mean that their royalty isn’t still a fact. It just means they aren’t engaged with rulership at the time. And it’s perfectly OK. It’s still within reach at a moments notice. Just as mine is.

No, I haven’t restored all things that affect my kingdom. Not yet. But it is so much closer to the Garden than it was 5 years ago that I’m in awe.

The miracle of God’s plan isn’t far away. Nor is it hard to access. The hardest part for me was realizing and learning to utilize something that’s such a basic and simple part of my being. Not complicated at all.

I just had to change my mind and clear out a whole lot of doctrine that didn’t make me any more victorious than I was before it was taught to me.

And the first thing was to restore my ability to see within and stop canceling out all my God-given abilities with false humility and unbelief. I can connect to any animal or plant or even rock, or weather.

I recognize that all of it is connected through the very fabric of life. And that fabric is filled with vibrations and energies that are flowing and pulsing all the time. I’m a piece of that fabric, but I’m the only piece with a powerful heart and the ability to rule. And so are you.

One day… Well, that one day involves the everyday onward growth of my ability to dream and perceive beauty and perfection. And I’m still asking Father to keep expanding that part of me because I simply can’t create what I can’t dream of existing. Neither can you.

Blessings on your work of restoring all things in your kingdom,

Faith
