THE KINGDOM IS IN YOU...Luke 17:21

According to Luke 17:21, the Kingdom of God is within the believer. He has given unto us the keys to the kingdom. It is only a matter of the believer activating it. The Kingdom of God comes with power in Mark 9:1. It is the supernatural power of God at work in us to carry out our God-given assignment in the earth. It is not in word only, it is in demonstration. In otherwords, demonstrating what you preach and teach equals to the Kingdom of God. Jesus is not coming back to repeat His works (kingdom) in the earth. He passed the torch on to the believer, thereby setting the example for all to follow. And in that, He proclaimed even greater works than He, we shall do. Jesus himself sent the disciples out to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick (Luke 9:2). Word and then demonstration. Repeat that. Word and then demonstration. If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. If I speak to these devils (strongholds in people lives) and allow God to use me to bring deliverance, then the kingdom of God has come unto them through me. Don't be as the Pharisees who shut up the kingdom in people's face due to being bound to a religious belief system originated from some human agency. Paul says in I Corinthians 2:4, and by the way Paul is a perfect example of operating in kingdom and so is the Early Church in the Book of Acts. That's why it's called The Book of Acts because they demonstrated how the church is supposed to operate today. But somehow their way which is God's way,  got swepted under the pulpit carpet of traditions. Paul said, "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

KINGDOM 101

Kingdom is:

  • the experience of salvation, blessedness, healing, peace, joy, hope and deliverance.
    Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 14:17
  • the abode of God's presence, power and glory
    Psalms 22:28
  • a realm of wisdom, revelation, and knowledge
    Proverbs 2:6, II Corinthians 12:1-4, Ephesians 1:17, Colossians 1:9, 10
  • power, dominion, and authority
    Genesis 1:28, Matthew 11:5,16:19, Luke 17:21, I Corinthians 2:4,
  • working together in the same mind and judgment
    I Corinthians 1:10, I Corinthians 12:12-31, Philippians 2:2
  • freedom
    Matthew 12:28
In the Kingdom there is only one Voice--one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. Everyone work together with the same mind, and same judgment. In the Kingdom there is no room for the confusion of religion where there are obviously many voices which equals confusion which equals to world religions which equals to shutting up the kingdom in men faces as the Pharisees do. Is God in the midst? Simply no. Where is He? In the Kingdom, where He is calling all men to come into relationship with Him. For we have all of these religions, denominations, sects and cults and no one is speaking the same thing or on the same page with God. For He is not the author of confusion, satan is.
