Kingdom of God: From Basics 101 and beyond

The basic who, what, when, where and how of God’s Kingdom and then looking deeper to what the Lord is revealing.
 
Let’s start with WHAT is the Kingdom of God?
Romans 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
 
The Kingdom of God (kingdom of heaven) is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy… in the Holy Ghost.  And when the Holy Ghost came upon and in Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God was upon and in the earth… In Jesus Christ.
 
People that were healed and received miracles, Jesus would tell some that the Kingdom of God was nigh or near you.  It was IN Him.
 
Now that brings us to the next questions of WHO and WHERE and WHEN?
 
The Kingdom of God was IN Jesus Christ.
 
Luke 17:20-21 says “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
 
And He told them this too…
Luke 11:52
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
 
They held the key to ENTER the Kingdom but would not enter, and hindered others that were trying to enter in. The KEY is TRUTH.
 
WHERE is the Kingdom of God?  IN YOU…. IN THE HOLY GHOST.   So was the Holy Ghost in the Pharisees too????  Hmmm.  Was it that they had polluted the Kingdom???? Hmmmm.  But what was the whole concept here…..????  Hmmmm
Pause…..
 
Jesus had to take over the Kingdom of God that was in the old order and Priesthood…. they had polluted it. Jesus had to take over the dominion and set things in its proper order. They had not been good stewards. Vipers, Foxes Jesus called them. The change had begun…. a new heaven and earth where GOD was to DWELL had begun to be birthed (regeneration)…. a change for the better….
 
Matthew 19:28 “And Jesus said unto them (disciples), Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”  Regeneration here means “REBIRTH”.  ALL creation… Heaven and Earth, THAT WORLD was about to be done away, and the NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH was about to be birthed forth and established.  Wow! Amen.
 
The Great Tribulation and Judgment was about to commence on that world. That generation. That age.  Things were changing…
 
The NEW WINE could not be put into the OLD WINE SKIN!!! The Old order and priesthood were not to minister the things of the New Heaven and Earth. The Law and ALL the elements were going to be after a different order: The Order of FAITH and GRACE. A Priest after the order of Melchisedec. After the power of an endless life (Eternal Life).
 
The first became the last.  The beginning became the end. 
 
See what the Lord is showing. In the beginning was the word, ….in the end the Word became King, and of His Kingdom and Government there is no end.  It is completed and set … throughout all eternity…  A complete work for all ages.   It is Finished. It is done.  Hallelujah and Amen Father Amen.!!!!
 
Now for the HOW question: … HOW did Jesus bring in the New Heaven and Earth: God’s Kingdom?
 
God’s Kingdom was within them, the elect ones.  But they, nor the elements and ordinances, could make the conscience CLEAN… non polluted.
 
So Jesus Christ had to come through the creature that was made of the dust, Adamic mankind, and be birthed as them in the natural like we all were. Then Jesus had to overcome EVERY OBSTACLE and HINDRANCE of man. The devil and sin were the obstacles and hindrance, which separated MANKIND (male/female) from the ETERNAL LIFE who is GOD. Jesus Christ destroyed both (Hebrews 2:14, 1 John3:8-9).  Jesus also fulfilled the law that exposed the offence and the offender, and brought in the new way to walk in His Victory.
 
WHO was ABLE to REDEEM ALL THINGS?  Someone that was separate from but was birthed out of the sinful nature, YET, was bigger and BETTER than it all.  There was only ONE – God himself. 
 
Soooo He sent… produced His only begotten Son… all man and all God, in ONE PERFECT Vessel. 
Tempted in every way as a man, faced every downfall and lack of man, yet overcame it all as man YET by the Power in Him, God His Father. 
 
Jesus Christ was re-establishing God’s habitation IN man… the place where He desires His Kingdom to dwell… in the souls of man.  This is His Garden, Field, dwelling place, secret place in some…  Yet our souls are swallowed up in Him as we enter His Kingdom… full redemption…
 
His Soul overcame all for our souls!  In Him we can live and move and have our being. Amen. Thank you, Father!
 
THIS IS BIG!!!!  Hear what the Lord is saying that words cannot express.!
 
I hope you are seeing what I am seeing.  This is intense.  Deeper into the whole working of God through Jesus Christ.  I hope you are rejoicing with me too.
 
Now… WHEN? …. When is the Kingdom of God to come?  If the Holy Spirit is abiding In You, then the Kingdom of God is come.  TODAY is the day of Salvation.  Today is your day to ENTER into HIS KINGDOM of Righteousness, Peace, and JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST…… GOD IN YOU.  Reread Luke 17:20-21 which reveals to us that Jesus said the kingdom of God does not come with observation but rather it is within us, those who are God’s elect.
 
And Jesus told the disciples that He would not eat or drink of this wine until He does it New in His Father’s kingdom. Mark 14:25 and here is Matthew 26:26-29:
 
Matthew 26:26-29 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
 
Then here in Acts 10:41 and in Luke 24 we see that the scriptures declare that Jesus brought in the new kingdom after He rose from the dead, after having delivered it up to the Father, and appeared to the disciples and did eat with them as He said He would.
 
Acts 10:39-43 *41…39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
 
Luke 24:30-53 *30-31… 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. … 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
 
Yet there is still the understanding that as Jesus comes into your heart as your Savior and baptizes you in His Holy Spirit, that this is the Day of Atonement for you to be joined to the Father and Son in their Kingdom also, where they are. (John 17)
 
His Righteousness and Grace is working by and through Faith of the Son working in you to Reconcile every soul that has received Him. Yet it is by the Holy Spirit working in you to raise you up, from faith to faith, and glory to glory, and victory to victory.
 
Every man has the measure of faith, but not every man is AWAKENED unto the Righteousness they are in need of, which is the PERFECT ONE “IMMANUEL”.  God already owns EVERY SOUL.  BUT not every soul has allowed HIM to implant His Seed, WORD OF THE SON – WORD OF LIFE in them.  THEY HAVE NOT PRODUCED AFTER HIS SEED.
 
Jesus said “You say ‘you did this for me and that for me… but I know you not”.   How can He not know everyone?  What He is saying is that you never produced (“born again”) after my seed… the eternal life, Jesus Christ.  You just showed off in the gifts.  You need God’s Word in your soul that is Spirit and Life and Righteousness.
 
You have to have intimate time with God and allow Him to BREATH HIS WORD of ETERNAL LIFE in you, and produce HIS Fruit and Divine Nature through you, and change you. Your Mortality swallowed up of LIFE.  ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, YESHUA, IMMANUEL can we ENTER into God’s Kingdom, and ONLY THROUGH BEING BORN of His Spirit, and Water: HIS WORD engrafted in our souls and washed of His word can we SEE AND ENTER HIS KINGDOM.
 
John 3:3-5 v3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God…. v5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 5:26-27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the word, That he 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.
 
He will clean you up as you allow Him to.  Give Him your time and know that God is the rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.  Allow Him to take the veil off your face so you may behold Him as He is and be changed into the same image which is the Son of God. 
 
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God….
 
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.
 
Jesus Christ is the Power of God in you, the Word that was made flesh, and we now know as the Spirit of God that is Holy.
 
Now, Enter into His Kingdom …. His Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost… for His Presence in you is Righteousness and is Power. Allow the Holy Spirit to bring forth the Second Man’s life that is without sin and death, for He has made you to be Co-Heirs with Him in His Kingdom…in heaven and in earth.
 
Hallelujah!  Rejoice!  Thank You Father!
 
Amen.
