This is a study on the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God does not come by observation, but through YOU.
We often long for the day we go to Heaven, oh what a wonderful place it will be. We view the Kingdom as a place, heaven if you will, but did you know the Kingdom of God IS WITHIN YOU! YOU are the difference between death and life, sickness and healing, heaven and hell. It is by YOUR obedience that God works THROUGH YOU.
The KINGDOM OF GOD is commonly known as a place (Heaven) however we often pass up the understanding knowledge that it is ALSO WITHIN US. Let's look at some verses that describe to us that. (Luke 17:20-21)
"Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The KINGDOM OF GOD does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU."
I should add in at this point the verse that Jesus teaching us to pray "Your Kingdom Come, Your Will be done" Your kingdom come (hear in my life) your will be done (have your way in my life Lord)
