The Kingdom Of God

 


The Kingdom of God is real! And so is the kingdom of satan. Angels are real, and so are fallen angels, corrupted beings who left their place of glory and light with God to side with lucifer who rebelled against The Most High God and was cast out of Heaven. Sounds like a Hollywood movie script, doesn't it? A fairytale made up in the minds of men. And that's exactly what the evil powers and principalities that rule over this world want everyone to believe, that it's all a fairytale, a myth, they want you to believe that the bible is the biggest book of fairytales ever written.

This is exactly why every dictator, communist ruler and evil leader bans the bible and the practice of true Christianity as soon as they come to power, why is that? To keep people blinded from the truth of who they really are!

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV)

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

The KJV says man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:7 (KJV)

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."


We are far more than just a body with thoughts, emotions, and wills. We are living, spiritual, and immortal souls walking around in flesh and bone bodies originally created by a supreme being with ALL power, wisdom, glory, might and strength! We were and still are, created in the image of God and made to have dominion over the creation of God. We were destined to live in Paradise forever, until the fallen angel satan entered the picture in the Garden of Eden and corrupted God's perfect creation by deceiving Eve, who in turn enticed her husband Adam to sin against God and thus broke the divine spiritual connection that they shared with their Creator. 

And now every human being born is disconnected from God and can only be reconnected to the Creator by being born from above, having faith, belief, and obeying the commands of the only Begotten Son of God, Jesus. 

This is why Jesus told His disciples not to fear those who kill the body but CANNOT kill the soul!

Matthew 10:27-28

“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Jesus also gave His disciples a glimpse of who He really was when He was transfigured on the mountaintop.

Matthew 17:1-7

"Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.  Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only."

The transfiguration of Jesus on the mountaintop is the perfect example of the Kingdom of God being revealed on this earth and in the sight of ordinary men!

This is also why Jesus told the Pharisees that the Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU! If so be that you are born from above, by being baptized in water AND the Holy Spirit. This is exactly what Jesus told Nicodemus!

Luke 17:20-21

"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

John 3:3,5 (Greek-English Interlinear Bible)

"Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one is not generated (born) from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God."

"Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one is not generated (born) of water and of Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God."

The Greek word used in the text here for generated is Strong's number G1080 which literally means: 

γεννάω gennáō, ghen-nah'-o; from a variation of G1085; to procreate (properly, of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively, to regenerate:—bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

So Jesus was telling the Pharisees and Nicodemus, that we MUST be born from above, conceived by God, by the faithful act of baptism in water being fully immersed, and baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire by Jesus Christ Himself! A truly spiritual and supernatural God ordained experience! If this doesn't happen then the soul CANNOT SEE and CANNOT ENTER, the Kingdom of God!

The Kingdom of God is not in some distant future or when we die and go to the ole by and by, the Kingdom of God is near! The Kingdom of God is NOW! 

John 14:23

"Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

Is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit making their home in your soul? Is the Kingdom of God WITHIN YOU?

Abiding In His Love,
