Kingdom Living!: From the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle to the Human Body

By Loraine Angela Dixon

Kingdom Living! simplifies the meaning of living the Kingdom Life for every believer. It clarifies the issues that confuse many Christians as they walk through the path of their spiritual journey. Kingdom Living! Will stir its readers interest to delve deep into the truth and inspires them that Kingdom Living is achievable. Kingdom Living! will show them the three locations that God Almighty chose to launch His Kingdom and, most importantly, where the Kingdom of God is located today. It carries an anointing, which, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will supernaturally prepare everyone for the return of Jesus Christ.
We cannot truly embrace our faith, its principles, and its requirements, nor can we truly fulfill its requirements if we dont understand.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

Acknowledgment

This book represents an anointing, which began in my previous book Prayer, Praise and Worship: A Three-Step Ladder to the Kingdom of God.

I thank God Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth, for His grace and mercy toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us giving us a second chance back to the Kingdom of God. Again, I thank God for those forerunners of the gospel in my generation who walked in the light of the Word, preached, and taught the unadulterated Word of God. To my parents, Walter and Myrna Harrison-Stewart: thank you for making the Word of God a priority in our upbringing—train up a child in the way he/she should grow and when he/she is old, he/she will not depart from it. I will not hesitate to thank God for my anointed sister Sharon May Elizabeth Lowe, who clinched her faith with mine, thus making this pilgrimage journey a success this far.

Gratitude would not allow me to ignore those men and women of the gospel of Jesus Christ who have devoted themselves relentlessly to work for the Kingdom of God and who have greatly influenced this book and my life. The richness of the anointing on their lives to minister the Word of God cannot be ignored; therefore, they deserve special mention for such excellent service that greatly influenced my life and this book. My deepest appreciation to the work of Pastor Iva and Christine Coke of the Coley Mountain Missionary Church, Manchester, Jamaica (West Indies); to Elder Keith and Flonadelle Dwyer, Coley Mountain Missionary Church, Manchester, Jamaica (West Indies); to Pastor Roxroy and Linette Renford, Church of God of Prophecy, Somerset, Manchester, Jamaica (West Indies); to my former theological teacher at the International Seminary Rev. Dr. Willie R. Davis; to Dr. Elizabeth Gallon-McGhee and Rev. Johnnie and Nellie Thornton; to my present teachers, Pastor Apostle Tony S. Barhoo, PhD and Co-Pastor Sharlene Barhoo; to the founders of Living Faith World Ministries, Daytona Beach, Florida; and also to Pastor Zachery L. and Gwen Russell, assistant pastor at Living Faith World Ministry, Daytona Beach, Florida.

I owe a primary debt of gratitude to those who have spent priceless hours in prayer, making intercession for my success—Mr. and Mrs. Clive, and Marjorie Heath, Hempstead, New York; Mr. Hermon and Avaline Coley-Thompson; Pastor Leila Rodney, Living Faith Church of Harvest, Providenciales Turks and Caicos Island, and Mittilene Harrison (sister). There are others who shared the Word of God via television and radio in a remarkable way—I thank you.

To my nephews Richard Alex Sterling (Sean), David Ralston Swaby Jr. (Romeo), and Dylan Malik Swaby—thank you all for praying and believing for Aunty even when it seemed there was no way out.

I do encourage you all to study to show thyself approved unto God—a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.

Thank-yous

I extend special thank-yous to the following persons: Mr. Abe and Mrs. Angella Aris, Montego-Bay, Jamaica, West Indies—God has used you as a compass to guide me toward life’s destiny.

To my sister in Christ, Terri-Ann Dewberry, Living Faith World Ministry, Daytona Beach, Florida—I must say a sister is only a phone call away. On behalf of my sister Sharon and me, we thank you.

To the Elect Lady Ms Ernika Russell and her children Tyre’ah Edwards (daughter), Tyrell Edwards III (son), and Trinity Edwards (daughter), Holly Hill Florida- My sister Sharon and I love you all. To Ms. Dianne A. Stigall and her children Shanique S. Robinson (daughter) and Yanique A. Robinson (daughter), Kissimmee Florida—you are deeply loved and highly favored.

To Apostle Steve and Pastor Michelle Lyston, and Restoration World Outreach Ministries Inc—on behalf of my sister Sharon and myself, Thank you all!

Some people come into our lives and go; but others stay a while making imprints on our heart and life, never ever the same.

A special thank you to our brother in Christ, Pradeep K. Dhanpat of Kissimmee Florida. Pradeep, my sister Sharon and I greatly love and appreciate you. Be blessed.

Foreword

Living the Kingdom Life is something many Christians strive to do having given their lives to the Lord. However, in order to execute it, we must first seek to understand what Kingdom Living is all about—what it means, what it entails, and the importance of doing so.

Whether we have been serving the Lord for many years or are just in the verge of making a decision to serve the Lord, the importance of understanding what our decision means and what is required of us is important to our journey on the path of Kintgdom Living!

Knowledge is power, and further to this, Proverbs 4:7 reminds us, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding."

We cannot truly embrace our faith, its principles, and its requirements, nor can we truly fulfill its requirements if we don’t understand.

Kingdom Living is achievable—so read and live!

Preface

Previously, I published a book entitled Prayer, Praise and Worship: A Three-Step Ladder to the Kingdom of God. Now comes another book entitled Kingdom Living! From the Garden of Eden, to the Tabernacle, to the Human Body.

It is within the mind of the Holy Spirit to elaborate on the Kingdom life, which God has prepared for us, and every believer should be able to get the full benefits of God’s Kingdom which He intended for us way before our time. This book will show you the three locations that God Almighty chose to launch His Kingdom and, most importantly, where the Kingdom of God is located today. Therefore, this book should be read and reread as often as possible as God’s presence supernaturally penetrates our hearts for the fullness of His Kingdom Life. For this purpose was this book written to enlighten Kingdom believers to where the Kingdom of God is and what life is all about in God’s Kingdom.

Just as we can sense the presence of God Almighty in our daily lives, even so can we sense the presence of the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the King of all kings. Jesus’ return is getting closer and closer by the minutes; any minute now He might come for those of us who are Kingdom-ready. We don’t know exactly what minute He will appear, but one thing is for sure: now is the time to get into the Kingdom-life.

This book carries an anointing, which, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will supernaturally prepare you for the return of Jesus Christ. Let’s not ignore the signs of the time because the Word of God taught us that as it was in the days of Noah so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be (Jesus). I know without a shadow of doubt that for everyone who get hold of a copy of this book and read it, life will never be the same. You will be rapture-ready (the catching away of the church) to be with Christ forever and ever.

A Note from the Author

The King is coming (Jesus); the Bible did not say exactly when, but it did inform us to watch and pray because we know not the minute nor the hour Jesus will put in His appearance. As in the days of Noe (Noah), so is it today. In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day the flood came, and Noah, his family, and a pair of every animal entered into the ark.

We are living in the days of the final Kingdom calling—people from all faith, all walks of life, and from all nationalities are hearing this call. It is time for every man, woman, boy, and girl to wake up and discover that the most important thing we have to stand on is the everlasting Word of God. There is a growing hunger and thirst, which, if we are not careful, will soon be escalated into a wave of faming for the Word of God. A growing hunger is being created in the hearts of men all over this globe for a greater understanding of the Kingdom of God.

This book on Kingdom Life is our final preparation. The King is Coming will not only give you an understanding of the Kingdom of God and where it is located, but I can assure you that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is present to supernaturally take you into this Kingdom Life (the Kingdom of God).

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

(Matt. 11:25-27)
