In Romans 14:17 we find that the kingdom of God
is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
In Luke 16:16 we find that since John, the
kingdom of God is preached and every man presses into it… into the kingdom of
God that is in the Holy Spirit (and in you if you have received Him, and now
you are pressing into it).
In Luke 17:20-21 we find that the kingdom of God
“is in you”… in those that had the truth at that time, and today in those that
have received the Holy Spirit.
In John 3:3-5 Jesus tells all that unless you are
born from above you cannot “see” the kingdom, and unless you are born of the
water and Spirit you cannot enter the kingdom of God (which is righteousness,
peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit).
In Hebrews 12:28 we are told that they were
receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved…
In Luke 12:32 Jesus tells us that it is the
Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom.
So the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God is not natural
Jerusalem, or mount Zion anymore… but it is in the Holy Spirit and has been
birthed forth in the regeneration during Jesus’ day, and is from age to age,
generation to generation being established in the hearts and souls of mankind
by that same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead and grave.
The kingdom of God has more to it than any of us have experienced,
but we know that God plants His kingdom in the hearts and souls of mankind by
the imparting of His Holy Spirit within them. Those that have
received the testimony of His Son Jesus Christ, are sealed with that Holy
Spirit of the Son and Father. Now God makes His abode within us.
(Many scriptures on this but here’s a few more to add to the ones
above: Ephesians 1:12-14, John 4:20-23, John 14:20-24, Luke 17:20-21, John
18:36-37, Hebrews 11:16, Hebrews 12:22-29, Hebrews 7:12-16, Hebrews 10:1-10,
and many others… You’ll find some of them in this article.)
Hebrews 12:22 says “But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the
city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem….” Not the natural
Jerusalem or Mt Zion which was a shadow of what truly is., but you are come unto the heavenly, spiritual city and mountain and country of God.
Hebrews 10:9-10 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we
are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
John 18:36 is Jesus talking to
Pilate and declares to Pilate that His kingdom is not of this world… Jesus clearly says it is not of this world.
The real kingdom of God is come. Jesus
birthed it forth back then. And today
His kingdom which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit is being
established in souls throughout all ages and generations. His Kingdom will never end. It
is come, and is established in the hearts of those that receive Him and are
sealed by His Holy Spirit.
Look at these scriptures and hear the voice of the Lord:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:
…..
John 4:20-23 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus
saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall
neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father…. WOW…is
this clear enough?. Then Jesus says in verse 23 But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him….
God’s Kingdom is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy IN THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
If you have received the Father’s Holy Spirit, then you are sealed
with the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God is within
you.
Now as Luke 16:16 states: …since John the kingdom of God is
preached and every man presses into it. Now you are being washed and cleaned up,
your mind being renewed by the Spirit of the Lord In You. You are
being presented and set in the body of Jesus Christ, who has prepared a place
for you in Himself in His kingdom. You are set in Him who is IN THE KINGDOM AND
SITTING ON THE THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM…. He is ruling and reigning in His
Kingdom… now in the earth, through those that have received HIM.
It is a mystery, and only by His Holy Spirit can any of us attempt
to understand the all of His Kingdom.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I
live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Revelation 5:9-10 And they sang a new song… hast redeemed us to
God by thy blood out of every kindred… And hast made us unto our God kings and
priests; and we shall reign on the earth.
Ephesians 5:25-27 …loved the church, and gave himself for it; That
he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word…..
(this is how Jesus is cleaning you – preaching of His testimony by that Holy
Spirit and witness of the Father speaking in your spirit and soul.)
v27 That he (Jesus) might present it to himself a glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish.
You are entering His kingdom, through the FLESH OF THE SON (the
veil to the Holy Place where the Father dwells), as you are partaking of His
Testimony and receiving Him, you are being presented to the Father and all
things are put under your feet, for you “are” now become One with the Son and
now through the Son joined unto the Father. (Hebrews 6:19-20,
chapters 7,8,9,10; 1 Corinthians 15:22-28, 52-28; Eph 1:22-23; Eph 2:4-7;
Hebrews 12:22-29….)
There is so much to learn about our new place of dwelling in the
Lord Jesus Christ. The Father has purposed this from the beginning.
So, that TODAY if you hear His Voice calling you, don’t be
stubborn, but take that step and allow the Father to bring you to His Son Jesus
Christ and establish your soul in the liberty she belongs in with Him: co-heirs
with Him as He is King and Priest over all.
Present Truth. 2 Peter 1:11-12 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly in to the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these
things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Amen.
