THE KINGDOM OF GOD

By Apostle Pete Norris

 

I am writing this article on the subject of the Kingdom of God. I would like to go into a different direction with the Kingdom of God.

Luke 17:21 – " ...Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Matthew 6:10 – "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

The heavens govern the earth and the earthly. The earthly has to answer to the heavenly. Everything has to be in the light of Heaven to answer to Heaven and to come out from Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 5:2 teaches that there is a system and an order in Heaven, which is the true one. In the end, it will be a reproduction of the heavenly order upon the earth.

Christ came down from Heaven and then returned to Heaven. The child of God is born from Heaven and returned to Heaven. The child of God is born from Heaven and has his life centered in Heaven. The life of the child of God is consummated in Heaven.

Daniel 4:26 says – "...the heavens do rule." The great factor of Heaven governs everything. All that you and I have to learn is how it is done in Heaven. He made it; it was His work; and we are told that when He made it, He entered into rest. His rest was found in being in His creation.

Heaven and earth lost their harmony at the tragedy of the fall in the Garden of Eden.

John 3:3 (Amplified) – "Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly tell you that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.

Luke 17:21 -- The Kingdom is within you

Luke 22:29 -- I appoint you a Kingdom

Colossians 1:13 -- Translated into the Kingdom

II Thessalonians 1:5 -- Worthy of the Kingdom

James 2:5 -- Heir of the Kingdom

Matthew 13:38 -- Children of the Kingdom

Matthew 16:19 -- Keys to the Kingdom

Matthew 25:34 -- Kingdom prepared for you

We (children of God) must understand that the Kingdom of God functions as we use Kingdom laws. Whatever is going on in Heaven, we have that same authority on the earth. Romans 14:17 – "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

We must learn to function in Kingdom principles all of the time. The kingdom of this world has no power over the Kingdom of God that is within us.

Colossians 1:13 (Amplified) – "(The Father) has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love."

Children of God no longer have to be controlled by dominion and control of this world’s system. I encourage you to do a word study on the Kingdom of God and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you in regard to who you are in the Kingdom.

 

 God Bless You,

Apostle Pete Norris
