Treasure Table | Dancing with The KING on Faith Street
Adjust Your Lens | Today's Noticing Invitation
Come to the table and notice with me.
This morning, my morning prayer call opened with an announcement:
“We have a new address.” Our new address? Faith Street.
I laughed. I actually live on Faith Street. 🤭🎶🤭
Then I began to wonder… If Faith Street is our address, what is on our street? That question opened a door I was not expecting. Curiosity took over.
What if Faith Street is more than a playful picture of where faith lives?
What if Scripture gives us a picture of how we live there?
Ephesians tells us something extraordinary about our position:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”
— Ephesians 1:3
One chapter later, Paul tells us that God has raised us up and seated us with Christ in the heavenly places.
Our address comes Before our Assignment
We walk from where we are Already Seated.
Then Paul spends the rest of the letter teaching us how to walk from where we are seated; by Ephesians 6, he tells us how to stand.
Sit.
Walk.
Stand.
Suddenly I saw something I had never pictured quite this way before: What if the armor of God is what we wear into battle AND what keeps us aligned with The KING as we walk with Him?
When you walk with THE KING long enough… walking starts looking suspiciously like dancing. 🤭🎶🤭
Faith Street Apparel
We are seated with Christ in heavenly places wearing the whole armor of God:
👑 → Helmet of Salvation — we think from what Jesus has accomplished
🪢 → Belt of Truth — Truth holds our perception together
❤️ → Breastplate of Righteousness — our hearts rest in our received standing in Christ
💎 → Truth is revealed
👂 → We have Ears to Hear
👁️ → We have Eyes to See
❤️ → We have hearts enlarged with Understanding and Knowing
🗝️ → We choose to Agree with Jesus as Lord & Saviour
🤝 → We agree with who The KING says we are Ephesians 1:3
🛡️ → Shield of Faith — flaming arrows fall away, our Agreement stands
⚔️ → Sword of the Spirit — the Word gives us Truth to speak and walk
👣 → Our feet are fitted with the Gospel of Peace
👣 → We walk in alignment
🙏 → We remain in conversation with God
🎶 → Walking with The KING becomes dancing
🌻 → Fruit appears
🍯 → Heaven’s honey spills over
↔️ → The Broad Boulevard of Faith expands!
Dancing With THE KING
Now look again at what we are wearing. Belt of Truth around us. Righteousness guarding our hearts. Salvation guarding our minds. Shield of Faith surrounding us. The Word in our hands. Peace on our feet.
Prayer keeping us continually attentive to God. We are dressed to follow His lead.
He steps.
We Respond. We follow.
He reveals.
We choose. We agree.
He leads.
We follow. Our agreement becomes movement.
That is alignment.
Agreement Paves the Way
Agreement gives Truth somewhere to go.
Truth becomes a choice.
Choice becomes a step.
Step follows step.
Suddenly our walking out what we say we believe becomes dancing it out!
Fruit Appears
Jesus told us that fruit grows from abiding.
Paul tells us that the Spirit produces fruit.
Fruit is the overflow of life rooted in our identity in Christ
Fruit grows along the Boulevard.
As we follow the King, we begin to see differently. The farther we walk— the more we see. The more we see—the more there is to receive, gather, and steward. The more faithfully we steward—the more fruit appears. The more fruit appears the more Heaven’s honey spills over the edges of our lives. 🍯
Someone else tastes His goodness. Someone else sees something that had been hiding in plain sight. Someone else hears the music. Someone else steps onto Faith Boulevard. Somehow—Faith Boulevard expands. There is always room for more!
Today’s Noticing Invitation
Maybe the question today shifts from “Am I doing enough?”, to:
“KING, what step are You taking?”
Where is Truth inviting me into agreement today?
What do I hear?
What do I see?
What choice would make my agreement visible?
What would it look like simply to follow His lead?
It so freeing that we do not need to manufacture fruit nor do we need to choreograph the entire dance.
Listen for the music.
Watch THE KING.
Take the next step.
Faith Street isn’t merely where we live.
It’s where we learn the steps.
