It has been so fun, re-watching this series with my boys. When we watched it before, since it is a UK tv series, we had kept on top of it at Youtube, getting there before the new episode was taken down by admin. The full series is on Netflix, so we are binge watching :) During season 4, I almost gave up, because it was super obvious that they were trying to squeeze out more episodes by creating "drama" within the story line. At one point, I was like, "For pity's sake, kill Morgana already!!!" They could have gotten at least another season out of the transformation of the kingdom with King Arthur, but no...the show was cancelled.
There was another series I began watching, on Netflix, called "Reign," but by the 3rd season, I was like, really, that's it, all of these stupid kingdom shows are about gaining power, authority and all that comes with it? What's the point? Once the person gained the throne, then the true war became a daily battle with those inside the kingdom, who wanted the throne, and all the stupid plots...mind numbing. This is an issue that the heart struggles with, being content with who we are, the authority and power granted us, and truly being happy for those who are granted positions of leadership in order to see, "Thy Kingdom Come!"

I do not think it is by chance, that the series "Game of Thrones" is such a big hit. Personally, I have no interest in any show that is violently evil. So, I didn't know anything about the series until today. I was watching Perry Stone's weekly telecast, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAZriYGRHBM, and began to draw parallels between his teaching, and the kingdom that is to come. I've known for a while that there are 7 Spirits of God, but I have only recently learned that there have been 6 world governments, and there is one more "natural" one to come, which would be 7. Here is the list :
7 GOVERNMENTS 7 SPIRITS OF DRAGON 7 SPIRIITS OF GOD
EGYPT BONDAGE FREEDOM
ASSYRIANS DIVISION UNITY
BABYLONIANS COMPROMISE LOYALTY
MEDO-PERSIAN ANTICHRIST TRUTH
GREEKS KNOWLEDGE WISDOM
ROMANS TOLERANCE GROWTH
GLOBAL GOV* TERROR* LOVE*
The asterisks represent the kingdoms to come and terror was not a spirit identified by Perry Stone. That's mine. In all kingdoms, that have ever been, rather we want to admit it or not, God has all authority and He is responsible for granting it. It's His world, and prophecy spoken (Word) and fulfilled (Deed), are done so that His Kingdom may come, and His will be done. It's interesting that the majority of people, who identify with being "christian," don't even know that the Jesus they claim to serve has a Kingdom and we are already in it.

In 2005, the Holy Spirit took me into a dream where there was war all around. I didn't know who or what was leading me, but I followed, into this 4 story building. People are running everywhere. The atmosphere was wrought with terror. I was instructed to go into a "Janitor's Closet" and hunker down. I argued a bit, but gave way to faith. The enemy entered, looked around, and saw no one, even though I was in plain sight. They left and I could hear them say, "No one here, Put a mark on the door." After they left, I was instructed to move a mop that revealed a secret entrance. I opened it, and was flooded with light. I went down the ladder, and came into a place where people I knew, were already there. There were these people standing at a sliding glass door. All of them could "see" the way in, but only 3 of the 10 could enter. The door was shut by an angel, the blinds were closed, and the children were let out to play and giggle. I became afraid and tried to hide. As I was coming out of the dream, I said, "Those children are going to rat us out." The Holy Spirit, who had been leading me said, "This is the Kingdom of God, and there is no safer place."

Here I am, 11 years later, and I finally understand. The Kingdom of God is Love....God is Love, and His love has NO FEAR in it. For a definition of LOVE without fear, go to 1 Corinthians 13. The only ONE who has that LOVE is Jesus, because His love has never been touched by fear. When He comes in to possess our hearts, immediately, his Holy Spirit begins to address lies/fears/demons/strongholds/systems that have taken over the captain's seat of our vessel. The walk of faith is a process of uprooting everything that opposes love, addressing the heart's accusation against God, yielding it too Him, asking Him to reveal TRUTH (Jesus) in our hearts, and walking in that Truth. Eventually, the fears begin to loose power over us, and we will begin to experience the deliverance, healing, freedom from fear, and restoration that is ours through salvation. Yes! Salvation is so much more than a "ticket into heaven." It is the Kingdom of Love.
Let us put aside "magical thinking," believing that Jesus is all about showing up suddenly. No...Jesus is Love, and love is always growing. If it isn't growing, it isn't love. This truth was put into place from the beginning and will endure through the end, because it is a picture of how the Kingdom of Love flows. It is a Circle: Fear of God (Awe) chasing Mercy. Here are the 9 Universal Laws:
9 UNIVERSAL LAWS
Trust/Revelation
Condensation/Evaporation
Dry/Wet
Root/Fruit
Dark/Light
Receiving/Giving
Sowing/Reaping
Offering Up/Pouring In
Death/Resurrection
In order to experience God in His fullness, our hands must be open, palms up, yielded to the flow of Oil from the Holy Spirit, that washes the water of our souls clean. We are to feel and release, never grabbing to possess. The most courageous heart is the one that endures and enjoys love to the fullest.
