There are only two kingdoms in the final analysis, His of light and the adversaries of darkness. The adversary works not so much to give us a hatred of god and His kingdom of light, but a forgetfulness of He and the kingdom of light. This whole "universe" He created for us operating under Newtonian physics was His creation for us as are we. God operates in the realm where Quantum physics rules, there is no time of space, no distance, it is where Jesus can be in and with you and I all the time, where He can appear and call His own to Him in your life and on the other side of this world and the same moment, as we get closer to leaving this world and rejoining His presence forever in eternity, we are growing more in understanding His world and His ways.
Gratitude for Him and all He is and does is a very essential part that allows Him to pour out more blessing. Staying in relationship with Him and fellow true, genuine , believers is also essential, not all who call themselves Christian are truly Christian, as you have noticed.
