In Kingdom Mindset On Earth you will learn the concept of changing your mindset from a slave mentality to the mindset of a king, a ruler, and to have dominion over your territory. I was inspired to write this book after learning about the Kingdom of God and His mandate for mankind on earth. My heart and mind went to another level in preaching the Word of God. I was no longer the same after getting illumination for mankind?s purpose on earth. God reveals so much to me through reading and studying His Word as well as through His Holy Spirit.

In today?s tumultuous world, men and women everywhere find it almost impossible to sustain joy. As followers of Christ, we often forget that a very real, invisible battle is raging.
