Author Cwilton farris, III Q&A

Centered on Ambassadorship, Higher Kingdom Government, and the Appeal of Love I’m CWilton Farris, III, and I describe myself as a Kingdom author, teacher, and speaker. At the center of my work is the revelation of Second Corinthians 5:20: “We are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ

Tell us about your journey as an author.
My journey as an author began with a burden to help people come back to God beyond the limitations of religious performance (especially after COVID). I saw many people attending church, loving God, serving faithfully, and knowing Scripture, yet still living under fear, shame, performance, emotional pain, distorted identity, and spiritual exhaustion. Something in me knew that the message had to go deeper than telling people to try harder. Over time, I began to understand that my writing was part of my ambassadorship. An ambassador does not speak for himself. An ambassador represents the government that sent him. That changed how I saw writing. I was not simply writing books to express my opinions. I was stewarding a Kingdom message. I was speaking from the conviction that Christ has sent us into the world as representatives of His love, His truth, His grace, His healing, and His Kingdom government. So my ‘author journey’ has really been a journey of obedience. Each book became another way of making God’s appeal: come back to Him, come back to identity, come back to grace, come back to healing, come back to love, come back to the life of Christ within.
The vision behind my books is to awaken people to who they are, Whose they are, and what Kingdom they represent. My books are not merely devotional projects or religious commentary. They are part of a larger Kingdom assignment to help people understand what it means to live as Christ’s ambassadors in real life. That means we do not live lawlessly. Ambassadors obey the laws of the land where they are stationed, but their identity, authority, values, and assignment comes from the government that sent them. In the same way, we live responsibly in this world, but we are not governed by the spirit, fear, hatred, confusion, division, shame, or performance systems of this world. We do not seek validation from the world. We are governed by the higher law of the Kingdom of God. That is the vision behind the books. Whether I am writing about identity, healing, grace, church life, Kingdom life, faith, emotional trauma, women and their calling, or love overcoming hate, the message is connected: God is calling us back to Himself so that our lives become His appeal to others.
To me, 2 Corinthians 5:20 means that God has chosen to make His appeal through His people. That is both humbling and sobering. We are Christ’s ambassadors. We represent another Kingdom while living in this world. We are not called to blend into the values of the world, but we are also not called to withdraw from the world in fear. We are called to stand in the world as visible representatives of another government. The appeal God is making through us is not merely a spoken appeal. It is a lived appeal. Our love should appeal. Our mercy should appeal. Our truth should appeal. Our integrity should appeal. Our healing should appeal. Our forgiveness should appeal. Our unity should appeal. Our treatment of people should appeal. Our lives should make people wonder where that kind of love, peace, strength, and grace comes from. So when Paul says, “Come back to God,” I hear more than an altar call. I hear the heart of the Kingdom Itself. God is not simply trying to win arguments. He is reconciling people back to Himself through Christ, and He has made us ambassadors of that reconciliation.
What distinguishes my Kingdom message is the emphasis on government, identity, and love working together. I am not merely calling people to become better church members. I am calling us to awaken as ambassadors of a higher Kingdom. Church life is important, but church life is not the whole Kingdom. Religious activity can never replace Kingdom identity. Jesus preached the Kingdom of God. He revealed another government, another authority, another citizenship, another life, and another way of being human in the earth. My work asks a serious question: Are we simply practicing religion, or are we representing The King? As ambassadors, we are in the world, but not of the world. That does not mean we are arrogant, detached, rebellious, or careless. It means our highest allegiance belongs to Christ. We obey the laws of the land, but we are governed by the law of love, the law of truth, the law of grace, the law of the Spirit, and the “finished work” of Christ. Therefore, we learn to “rest” in Him. That is the Kingdom distinction.
My 59-book portfolio reflects the many dimensions of that one message. The books may cover different subjects, but they are all connected to ambassadorship, reconciliation, identity, healing, grace, and Kingdom living. For example, My Kingdom Is Not of This World: Alien Nation speaks directly to Kingdom citizenship. Church Life vs. Kingdom Life examines the difference between religious participation and Kingdom reality. The “I” That Won’t Die: Religion confronts the independent, self-centered self and the way religion can form outside the life of Christ. Flow reveals Christ as the Living Source within us. The Receiving Life brings faith into Monday-through-Saturday living. When Pain Becomes a Pattern deals with emotional healing. Free From the Spiritual Scoreboard addresses performance-based faith and rest. Those titles are all present within my portfolio. So my portfolio is not just a collection of books. It is a Kingdom library. It is a body of work designed to help people return to God, recover identity, receive healing, live from grace, and become visible ambassadors of Christ’s love in the world.
I mean that our final authority is not the culture around us, the fear around us, the political climate around us, the religious systems around us, or even the emotional pressure within us. Our final authority is The King. As ambassadors, we honor the laws of the land, but we are not spiritually governed by the values of the land. We do not let hatred tell us how to love. We do not let fear tell us how to speak. We do not let offense tell us how to respond. We do not let culture tell us who is valuable. We do not let religious control tell us who God can use. We do not let trauma tell us who we are. We do not let shame name us. We are governed by the Kingdom of God. That means our lives should look different. Not strange for the sake of being strange, but different because love is ruling us from another Source. We forgive differently. We speak differently. We handle power differently. We treat women differently. We treat wounded people differently. We treat enemies differently. We treat the Church differently. We treat ourselves differently because we are representing a King whose Kingdom is righteousness, peace, joy, truth, grace, and love.
That phrase connects directly to ambassadorship. An ambassador lives in a country but represents another government. Ambassadors must understand the place where they are stationed, but they must never forget the government that sent them. That is how I understand our Kingdom assignment. We are in the world. We work here, serve here, raise families here, build relationships here, vote here, obey laws here, and love people here. But we are not of the world. We do not draw our identity, values, authority, or mission from the world’s system. Our identity comes from Christ. Our values come from the Kingdom. Our authority comes from the King. Our mission is reconciliation. That is why God’s appeal through us matters. If our lives look exactly like the world’s fear, division, pride, hatred, greed, and self-preservation, then the appeal becomes unclear. But when people see love that does not collapse under pressure, truth that does not become cruel, grace that does not become careless, and identity that does not become pride, they begin to see evidence of another Kingdom. The world’s proclamation about us should be, according to Book of Acts, “These are they who turned the world upside down.”
Love is the appeal. That is the thread that holds everything together. God is not making His appeal through us by asking us to dominate people, shame people, impress people, or win religious arguments. He is making His appeal through us by revealing His love through us. That does not mean love avoids truth. Kingdom love tells the truth. But it tells the truth with the heart of reconciliation, not superiority. Love is why MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ matters. That brand is not separate from the books. It is part of the same assignment. MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ carries the relational expression of the Kingdom message. It says that truth must be connected to love. Authority must be connected to love. Healing must be connected to love. Identity must be connected to love. Without love, even revelation can become another form of religious pride. So when I say “Link2Love,” I am pointing back to the appeal of God. Come back to God. Come back to love. Come back to the Father revealed in Christ.
Remnant Academy is one of the training and community expressions of the same Kingdom message. The books introduce and develop the message, but people also need spaces where the message can be taught, discussed, practiced, and lived. Remnant Academy is designed to help people grow in Kingdom identity, spiritual understanding, healing, grace, love, truth, presence, and the finished work of Christ. It helps people move beyond religious routine into a more intentional Kingdom life. In that sense, Remnant Academy is about forming ambassadors. It is not just about giving people more information. It is about helping people live as representatives of Christ in their homes, communities, churches, relationships, work, and daily decisions.
MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ is the love-centered brand expression of the whole vision. The books carry the message. Remnant Academy helps train and form people in that message. MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ keeps the heart of the mission visible: God’s appeal through us is love. We literally wear the love with MyLoveLink/Link2Love Apparel which can be purchased here: https://mylovelinkexpress.com/ The Kingdom is not cold authority. It is not religious control. It is not spiritual arrogance. The Kingdom is the government of the King, and the King revealed the Father through love, truth, sacrifice, mercy, healing, and reconciliation. Thus, so do we. So MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ says this plainly: the message is not complete until love becomes visible. We can talk about Kingdom, but if love is absent, the appeal becomes distorted. We can talk about truth, but if love is missing, people may hear judgment instead of reconciliation. The brand reminds us that love is not a side theme. Love is the evidence that the ambassadors understand the King.
Several books represent different aspects of it: My Kingdom Is Not of This World: Alien Nation represents the government and citizenship side of the message. It teaches that we belong to another Kingdom while being assigned to the earth. Church Life vs. Kingdom Life represents the difference between religious activity and Kingdom reality. The Receiving Life represents how we live practically from Christ Monday through Saturday. Flow represents the inner river of Christ’s life moving in us. Free From the Spiritual Scoreboard represents freedom from performance-based faith so we stop trying to earn what grace has already given. When Pain Becomes a Pattern represents the healing side of ambassadorship, because wounded people need more than slogans; they need restoration. The Hate Epidemic and The Cure represents love as the cure to division, hatred, and broken human relationships. My portfolio lists that title as book number 59, which is a fitting picture of where the message continues to go: toward love that heals and overcomes division. Together, these books say: we are ambassadors of Christ, citizens of a higher Kingdom, carriers of the appeal of God, and that appeal must be revealed through love.
I want readers to experience an awakening. Not just inspiration, but awakening. I want them to awaken to Christ as their life. Awaken to the Kingdom as their government. Awaken to their identity as mature sons and daughters. Awaken to the healing God wants to bring to wounded places. Awaken to grace beyond performance. Awaken to love as the evidence of the Kingdom. Awaken to the fact that their lives are meant to speak. Because as ambassadors, our lives are always saying something. The question is whether our lives are making the appeal of God clear. Do people encounter reconciliation through us? Do they encounter mercy? Do they encounter truth? Do they encounter love? Do they see another Kingdom? That is what I want the books to do. I want them to help people return to God and then become people through whom God’s appeal can reach others.
Because they belong together. Identity tells us who we are in Christ. Healing removes the lies and wounds that have been shaping how we live. Grace frees us from performance and teaches us to receive what Christ has finished. Kingdom living gives us the larger assignment: we are not healed just to feel better; we are restored so we can represent the King more clearly. A wounded ambassador may still be sent, but healing helps the message come through more clearly. A shame-driven ambassador may still speak truth, but grace helps truth come through without fear and condemnation. A religious ambassador may have zeal, but Kingdom revelation brings that zeal under the government of Christ. That is why these themes run together across my work. Identity, healing, grace, and Kingdom living all serve the same purpose: helping us become credible witnesses of the love of God.
My message is: come back to God, not to the scoreboard. Many people are not tired of God. They are tired of the pressure, systems, fear, and measuring that have been attached to God’s name. They are tired of trying to prove they are enough. They are tired of living like God is constantly grading their performance. They are tired of confusing religious anxiety with holiness. The gospel calls us back to Christ. The finished work of Jesus means we do not have to perform for what grace has already provided. That does not make us careless. It makes us free. And free people can love, obey, serve, give, forgive, and grow from the right Source. As ambassadors, we cannot make God’s appeal clearly if we are still living like frightened employees instead of sons and daughters. Grace restores our identity so love can become visible through us.
I believe true Kingdom people should be honorable people. Being governed by a higher Kingdom does not make us reckless, rebellious, or dismissive of lawful order. Ambassadors understand protocol. They understand where they are stationed. They know how to function responsibly in another land. But an ambassador’s ultimate allegiance belongs to the government that sent him. That means when culture promotes hatred, we obey love. When culture promotes fear, we obey faith. When culture promotes division, we obey reconciliation. When culture promotes revenge, we obey forgiveness. When culture promotes self-exaltation, we obey humility. When culture promotes greed, we obey generosity. When culture promotes exploitation, we obey justice and compassion, and when culture promotes oppression, we extend compassion. So yes, we obey the laws of the land, but we are governed by the higher law of the Kingdom of God. That higher law is not lawlessness. It is the life of Christ ruling us from within.
My long-term vision is to build a Kingdom ecosystem that helps people become ambassadors of Christ in real life resulting on a movement. That includes books, companion workbooks, study guides, courses, teaching series, Remnant Academy, speaking, community dialogue, leadership development, and MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ as a love-centered brand. I do not simply want to publish books. I want to help form people. I want to help people understand that they are not just church attendees. They are Kingdom representatives. They are not merely recovering from pain. They are being restored to wholeness to carry the appeal of God. They are not merely learning information. They are being formed into living invitations that say, “Come back to God.”
I am excited about turning the message into more structured teaching, courses, group studies, live conversations, and community-based discipleship through Remnant Academy. I am also excited about continuing to develop MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™ as a recognizable brand connected to love, reconciliation, healing, and Kingdom living. The future vision is not only literary. It is transformational. Books can open the door, but training helps people walk through it. Workbooks help people process it. Community helps people practice it. Love helps people recognize it. And when “Love” becomes a movement it changes systems and entire societies. I believe there is a great need for Kingdom-centered teaching that is clear, compassionate, practical, and bold enough to challenge religious limitation while loving people back to God.
I would say, do not approach my work like you are being graded. Approach it like you are being invited. The heart of the message is not shame. It is reconciliation. God is making His appeal through Christ, and now through us, saying, “Come back to Me.” Come back from fear. Come back from shame. Come back from performance. Come back from distorted identity. Come back from religious pressure. Come back from emotional bondage. Come back from hatred, division, and self-protection. Come back to the Father revealed through Christ in a people. My books may confront you, but the confrontation is for freedom. They may expose patterns, but exposure is for healing. They may challenge religious assumptions, but the goal is not argument and condemnation. The goal is restoration.
At the heart of my work is the revelation that we are Christ’s ambassadors. We live in this world, but we are governed by the higher law of the Sovereign Kingdom of God. We obey the laws of the land, but our ultimate allegiance, identity, values, and assignment come from the King. And the appeal God is making through us is love. That is the thread running through my current 59-book portfolio, Remnant Academy, and MyLoveLink™ / Link2Love™. The books carry the message. The Academy forms people in the message. The brand keeps love at the center of the message. My assignment is to help people awaken to identity, healing, grace, love, truth, presence, the finished work of Christ, and Kingdom living. I want people to stop merely surviving under religious pressure and begin living as sons and daughters who know who they are, Whose they are, what Kingdom they represent, and how their lives can become God’s appeal to the world:
