The Kingdom Of God Is Not The Church

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees

When the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied,

'The Kingdom of God does not come visibly, nor will people say,

'Here it is,' or 'There it is,'

Because the Kingdom of God is within you.' (Luke 17:20-21)

The Kingdom of God is not the Church!

Those in the Church may have the Kingdom of God within them,

But no Church “is” the Kingdom of God,

Nor all the churches gathered together.

This is critically important to understand.

If you have been water washed, blood washed,

Filled with the Holy Spirit and are walking in the Light of Christ,

This indicates that the Kingdom of God lives in you.

The Kingdom of God is Christ in you your hope of Glory [Colossians 1:27];

It is Christ Jesus living in and through you.

It is Christ ruling and reigning within a person.

Christ Jesus gives His Kingdom to no organization.

It is only given to individuals.

A group of individuals can have the Kingdom within them

And this was the intent of Christ Jesus for His Church or Assembly.

The Church of Christ Jesus is that group of individuals

That bear His Kingdom.

In what we call the “Church” not everyone bears His Kingdom.

There are those in the “Church” that have no faith, do not believe,

Who are not water washed, blood washed, filled with the Holy Spirit

And are not walking in the Light of Christ.

What is the Kingdom of God? The apostle Paul tells us:

The Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,

But of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17)

The Kingdom of God is The Secret Place of the Most High God;

Where God lives; where He rules and reigns;

It is the place where those who love Him live with Him there.

He who dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High God

Shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty

[Whose power no foe can withstand]. (Psalm 91:1 AMP)

When He lives in us, we are His Temple.

Do you not know that your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit,

Who is in you, Whom you have received from God?

You are not your own; You were bought with a price.

Therefore honor God with your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

The Church is not the Temple of the Holy Spirit--you are;

When Christ lives in and through you.

Christ lives in and through you when you continually eat the Bread of LIFE.

Christ Jesus is the Bread of LIFE [John 6:35].

The Kingdom of God is continually eating of the Bread of LIFE;

Continually allowing Christ to live in and through you. Christ Jesus said:

I tell you the Truth,

It is not Moses who has given you the Bread from Heaven,

But it is My Father Who gives you the True Bread from Heaven.

For the Bread of God is HE Who comes down from Heaven

And gives LIFE to the world. (John 6:32-33)

The Kingdom of God is continually drinking the Water of LIFE:

If any man is thirsty let him come to Me and drink.

Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said,

Streams of Living Water will flow from within him. (John 7:37-38)

Jesus said, 'My Kingdom is not of this world.

If it were, My servants would flight to prevent My arrest by the Jews.

But now My Kingdom is from another place.' (John 18:36)

How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders!

His Kingdom is an Eternal Kingdom;

His dominion endures from generation to generation. (Daniel 4:3)

You have made them to be a Kingdom of priests to serve our God,

And they will reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:10)

In the END, God makes those who bear His Kingdom within them,

To be Priests of His Kingdom, FOREVER!

These are those who OVERCAME Satan by the blood of the Lamb

And the word of their testimony [Revelation 12:11].

They OVERCOME because Christ in them; the Kingdom of God in them,

Is Greater than Satan. (1 John 4:4) Hallelujah!

God Almighty is INFINITELY greater than Satan,

Who is simply a created being. He is supernatural

And he does lead the WHOLE WORLD astray [Revelation 12:9],

But in comparison to God he is IMPOTENT!

The Kingdom of God is from Everlasting to Everlasting.

When the Kingdom of God lives in you, you are an Eternal being;

Not of this world; One with God and His Son, Christ Jesus [John 17].

The world and its desires pass away,

But the man who does the will of God lives FOREVER. (1 John 2:17)

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
