To what extent is it possible for us to experience God as our God? We know the "new Jerusalem" will eventually come down to earth in fullness (Rev. 21:2-3). But toward that increasing end, we are told to receive the "heavenly Jerusalem" with "gratitude" here and now and with the faith of a child (Heb. 12:22-24, 28; Mark 10:15; Mat. 19:14). Joyously bold declarations of repentance and faith are needed throughout the church to remove the obstacles and build a highway for God so His glory can be revealed more fully in our day (Isa. 57:14: Isa. 40:3-5).
This book will help you to recognize the practical evidence of how we try to fill our need for God's presence and kingdom with what we get from worldly substitutions, other people, sinful behaviors, and ourselves. It explains that in doing this, we receive pride that we put on like a coat around us for identity. Without realizing it, we put faith in our pride and try to abide inside it for protection, strength, and worth instead of receiving God's kingdom and presence as needed. This book also explains repentance as a joyous process that changes our minds one step after another as we listen to ourselves, making bold and joyous declarations of repentance and faith. The more our declarations break down our self-protection and align our thinking with God's Word, the more we shake off the coat of worldly sources and displace those things by receiving the kingdom of Heaven like a garment we put on around us here. By continuing to take one step after another, your joyously courageous declarations will help you direct your heart into the place of playfully childlike faith that lets you live in greater holiness and more freely receive God's presence and kingdom as armor and as what crushes the kingdom of darkness in increasing ways.
