Romans
14:17, Luke 16:16 and Luke 17:20-21 explains what and where the Kingdom of God
is.
Romans
14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So if
you have the baptism of Jesus Christ, then you are now sealed with the Holy
Spirit and it is time to press in to His Kingdom and learn of Jesus Christ.
Matthew
3:11 (John said) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire…
And in Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest
of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the
praise of his glory.
So you have heard His Word and trusted Him, then believed and were sealed (filled) with His Holy Spirit that was the promise of the Father… so much could be said here on this, but let’s press in.
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he (Jesus Christ) answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
v21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you.
The
Kingdom of God is where God lives and dwells.
Now He is come in you to bring you into Him.
John
14:21,23 ..and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love
him, and will manifest myself to him…….v23…If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and
make our abode with him.
And in
many verses the Lord expresses that He is in the Father, we in Him, and Him in
us. Here’s one of those: John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I
am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
So now
the Holy Spirit is come in us to secure us as we enter in to the Father and
dwell in His house forever with and as His Son… co-heirs… yet we must enter
through the veil which is the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews
10:19-20 Having therefore brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;…
And in
Hebrews 6:19-20 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
stedfast; and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner
is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
We
experience and encounter Him in outer court (body) experiences, inner court
(soul) experiences, and most holy place (Holy Spirit in you) experiences.
The
Lord begins to reveal Himself to you, and in this revealing of Himself and the
Father and Kingdom, you are changed into the same image. He is Power. Jesus Christ is the Wisdom and Power
of God for your liberation.
Reconciliation is happening.
2
Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory
of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by
the Spirit of the Lord.
Your
spirit becomes one with the Holy Spirit. The Lord is that Spirit and where the Lord is
there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).
The Spirit of Christ, who is the Lamb of God, and is the High Priest and
King of Righteousness and Peace is declaring His Blood on all elements of your
spirit, soul, and body as your sanctification and justification … successfully
anchoring you as His forever while HE FREES YOU from all that sin and death had
done to you. No longer can sin nor death
have dominion over you. A New Law and
Order has come in… the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
Then
you are brought to the place of increase and you begin to experience Jesus
Christ in a deeper expression of Him through your soul. All you know is being shaken…. Religious
elements are beginning to melt in His presence, yet you are not burned. You are seeing clearer and the light of His
Glory is getting brighter.
Then
your body even seems to emulate His Glory and Presence…. Decay isn’t allowed
here. Death has no place because the one
in you has destroyed death, sin and the devil.
Your nature body is just a casing for the true person that you have
become. Your spiritual body is and has
been birthed forth after the image of the Resurrection and Life. The incorruptible and immortal One is and has
swallowed up your mortal body as His Word has declared it would… death is
swallowed up in Victory. Not all will
sleep but all will be changed…. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.
Romans
8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by
his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Yet I
have found that the Lord processes all this a little at a time, intertwining
the experiences with Him, as we encounter our Lord and Savior who is so
precious and is The Lamb of God sitting upon the throne in our soul, ruling and
reigning over all.
You
have received the Lord and Savior, and the Lord is that Spirit, and where the
Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.
Press
On In to the Kingdom of God… Righteousness is He, Peace is He, and Joy is He …
now you see Him and are entering In to Him, and abiding In Him. For the Son abides forever in the House of
God.
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Acts
14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in
the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of
God.
Philippians
3:14 … this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
John
1:12-13 But as many as receive 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.
Now
you can Press in with the abundance of Grace and the gift of His Righteousness
unto Eternal Life. The Perfect Way has
been provided and He is appearing on your behalf… in you, to you…for you. Awaken …. Press on and Follow Him… Enter into
the Kingdom of God.
Amen.
