The Kingdom of heaven is also the work of the Spirit, the work of Christ, our stewardship being transformed. What would a man being purified look like to a woman or a child? Would he be dangerous or deceiving, or a refuge and trustworthy? We are not perfected in Christ till death if everyday is an opportunity for the choice between the flesh and the Spirit but we can grow in humility, honesty, in trusting Christ, our godly relationships, walking by the Spirit to lead us into deeper intimacy and maturity so that our compassion and our hearts are changing for needs around us. When men are willingly submitting their weaknesses to Christ and seeking to follow him, women and children benefit.  

How can we, not being done with our transformation, be the worshipers, learners, friends, citizens, servants who protect, build, sacrifice, speak the truth in love for the women and children around us?  

How do we help the widow or empower the sisterhood of women around us to become the spiritual daughters and spiritual mothers that Christ and the Spirit destined them to become?  

How do we help the orphan and the child to grow in wisdom and in stature (whole body, soul and spirit), in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52)?

COMMUNITIES -> Multiplying the worship of Christ in us, multiplying joy!

The Kingdom of heaven is the house of the Spirit, those who want out of Adam's line of sin, out of the flesh, out of lies, idolatry and its empty and frustrating captivity. CHRIST leads us into our new family, the family of God, for he gives us access to new life in the Holy Spirit whereas before we were powerless in the flesh (Romans 8). This new family is multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multi-national, and multi-lingual (Daniel 7:14). Start or join a COMMUNITY (local church) that meets with regular frequency. There are likely places throughout your nation that have no viable local community to grow in the gospel, in God's Word or God's Spirit. Could God be calling you to go and start such a community or pray that someone else would go? God values people, relationships, character and these are forged within community. It could be the first step towards a multi-generational community is starting a Brotherhood circle (men's small group) or small community (i.e. 2-12 co-ed small group) and see where God leads??
