About Kingdom Life 2020

Kingdom Life 2020 started sometime around 2018, as best as can recall, but in reality it has been in the works for years. I was "born again" in 1984, and have lived a full and committed life as a believer. As anew convert in the Church of God In Christ, I was passionate about God and this new life. In short time I became an ordained Minister, then an ordained Elder, with some believing I could aspire to the title and office of Bishop eventually. I served in the Music ministry, Finance Department, Youth Pastor and anything I could find to do. Within a few years I fell into a similar path as others, committed to organized religion... I became "burned out and distance from God. For many years I navigated between being passionate about ministry and/or just "going through the motions. I recall around 2010 feeling like I had failed God and asking would I ever get back to these early days. I remember Yahweh telling me to be patient and hang in there. I remember him saying "I could do with you in 3 years, what you could do for me in 30".  I never "lost the faith" but wandered through religion, places of abundance and place f barrenness, and going on as best ss I could. But something changed around 2018 when I was asked to lead the Praise & Worship team in the local ministry I attended. I began to get the fire and passion back through worship. a few years later I was asked to pastor in the ministry. Slowly but surely I was changing, but couldn't understand what was happening or why. I started to feel distant from "religion" but desiring to get closer to God. I started drawing near to the Holy spirit and less on "religion and religious practices. Then in 2020, while sitting in an airplane in Hong Kong returning from a missions trip, God began to speak in a manner I was not used to..... intentional, clear, distinct and personal. I remember deciding to just write because I was sure not to be able to remember what he was saying. After I arrived back home, I decided to see what God had said, and to my surprise, these words were written... I was to expand the Kingdom of God.  In 30 years of being a Christian and in ministry, I had not ever really heard the word Kingdom spoken of. So I began to ask God, what is this "Kingdom"thing, and from there, Kingdom Life 2020 was born.
