THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU!!!!

Luke 17: 21 Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. (in your midst, in the midst of you)

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this realm.” John 18:36

and… “not something that can be observed…” Lk 17:20

It is an everlasting kingdom, enduring dominion, lasting from generation to generation. Psalm 145:13

So, I ask, show me where we differ from the world!

Scripture says we are set apart, for the goodness of God!

We are in the world but not of the world!  Just as Jesus was not part of this world-  His purity stood out- He was set apart- made our great example.

His kingdom is not of this realm (this world) but of the Godly realm- with enduring dominion, and the power of God’s name backing his every action.  His blood speaks, and goes into action and gets things done.  By the blood of Jesus, every chain is loosed, every power of the enemy is broken.  Every dead work is purged, and cleansed, every spot is made pure and white as snow.  Every crooked place is made straight, every cry is heard.  Every believer is changed by the power of the name and blood of JESUS Christ.

The kingdom of God is within us.  

Now that we are IN CHRIST JESUS old things are passed away, and lo, all things have become new.

I love this!  No more old- no more old spots, or crooked paths, pot holes, or old traps.  Just Jesus- because as I learn of him, imitate him, & walk with him all my old is shed away, and lo, I become a new man (woman) IN Christ Jesus!  Jesus is always in my midst ((core))!  he surrounds me, he is in the midst of me, he wants to be in my company and visa versa I want to be in his!  A relationship is formed, a friendship that is closer than a brother.  God sets me apart for his goodness too, Hallelujah!

So as we seek God, and the kingdom and the righteousness of God, God will add all the goodness of him unto us… within us…purifying us, and setting us apart for himself.

Again, thank you Jesus.  Thank you Heavenly Father for such favor and grace.  Thank you that the kingdom of God is within us, the believer.  Bless us today.  Help us to call on you.  Help us to rely on you with everything we have, and to push ourselves out of the way, and let you lead us, Abba.  For you know what is best.  Thank you for the blood of Jesus that breaks every chain.  In Jesus name I pray.  

Amen Jesus!
