Receiving God's Kingdom

Once you have received God’s kingdom in your soul, it does grow….and swallows up your mortality.  The fullness of God is manifest in you to you and through you.  It starts out revealing a little at a time, and then as you allow the Lord to reveal himself to you, your old mindset that is carnal falls away, and the mind of Christ overtakes all that you are.  God is circumcising you by His word, cutting away your fleshly mindset.  All of your earthly and heavenly being is redeemed in the Blood of the Lamb, and by His holy Spirit you are brought up out of all that carnal existence. Your old mindset falls away. You become one with the Son and is delivered to the Father.  His life overtakes you and now you are born from above.  Your life is in Christ Jesus and your mind is being transformed…. Now operating in obedience to our heavenly Father as an obedient son.

The Kingdom of God grows, as you are receiving God’s Word that is Spirit and Life, a transformation takes place in you, and swallows up all mortality.

Read these scriptures and ask the Lord to make known His Truth to you:

Luke 17:20-21 …. (Jesus said) The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Luke 13:18-21 Kingdom of God grows
V18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? And whereunto shall I resemble it?
V19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
V20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
V21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Receiving God’s Kingdom Hebrews 12:21-29
V28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Kingdom in the Holy Spirit
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Since the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit, then when you receive the Holy Spirit, you are receiving the Kingdom of God too.  Yet, you will not “see” nor “understand” it all yet, but you will know that Jesus Christ is come in you and sealed you in the promise of the Spirit of the Father. (John 14)

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
V14 which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Kingdom of God Grows (as mentioned above)
Luke 13:18-21
V18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? And whereunto shall I resemble it?
V19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
V20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
V21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Mortality Swallowed Up of LIFE…the Kingdom of God grows in you and then more and more of God’s Divine nature is manifested in your walk: naturally and spiritually, yet only by the working of the Holy Spirit in you.  This is the same Spirit that was in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead and grave.  Now in You.  The heavenly Father never left Jesus nor forsook him.  Neither will HE you.  The Love of the Father for the Son is working in you and for you.

2 Corinthians 5:1-5 v4-5 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
V5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

So receiving and entering (swallowed up of) the Kingdom of God is all part of the birthing and growing up process of God receiving us and us Him.

John 3:3, 5-8
V3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
V5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

So it is…This Kingdom…that God has given us when He gave us His Son Jesus Christ, His Lamb and Blood.

So it is…This Power…that God has given towards us that when we Receive Him, we may also share in His LIFE.

The Kingdom of God is RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.  Righteousness, Peace, and Joy is what Jesus Christ is.  The Father’s Gift of Salvation, and the Well of Living Water, the Bread of Life…for us to partake of.  Receiving Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, the Resurrection and Life of God is Power-full.  Think on it and let the Lord show you.

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
V17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

John 1:11-14 He came unto his own, and his own RECEIVED him not.
V12 But as many as RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
V13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
V14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Power of the Son was and is the Father.  And the Son is the Power of the Father….To those that have ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is revealing….Knowing that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you His Kingdom.

Luke 12:31-32 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
V32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Amen.

Triumphing Always in Christ Jesus

Laying down your life for others….. it hurts ….. it’s not easy…..  (John 15:13)

Jesus sweated blood but for “That Purpose” He laid down His life so to join with us in death and sin…..

…..to hurt with us and for us…..

Then to RAISE Up in the Power and Strength and Victory of the Father’s ability…..

Conquering the devil and its works…. Destroying the devil and its works (Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8-9)

…so We Also RAISE Up With Jesus the Christ……

Triumphing Always in Christ Jesus…. (2 Corinthians 2:14)

Daily…. Finished Work…. Forever Victorious in Christ Jesus.


Amen.

Sanctified by the Holy Spirit

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Romans 15:15-16  v16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

2 Thessalonians 2:13But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
V14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Sanctified by the Holy Spirit who abides in your inner man, who is Jesus Christ, the Lord from heaven, the Quickening Spirit.

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the innerman; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;…. Ephesians 3:16-17

Sanctified means to be made pure, clean.
Sanctification means a state of Purity.

To God be the Glory and Honor for His Presence in us to cause us to be in such a state of Purity!

Thank you Father God!

Amen.
