Grasping the concept of the kingdom, means in essence, that you have a kingdom mindset. A kingdom mindset knows what a kingdom is and how it functions down here on planet earth. In the Kingdom of God, your most powerful asset is your faith in Jesus the Christ. Here is what God's Constitution has to say about this: Galatians 2:16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Please note what King Jesus spoke to the blind man: Constitutional Scripture: Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you." Focus Point: Once you embrace the concept of the kingdom, the Word of God will begin to come alive to you. Scripture you failed to understand will begin to shine at you like a neon light. Remember what Jesus stated to His disciples: "Seek first the Kingdom." Constitutional Scripture: Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Word meaning: Concept-- A collecting, a gathering of a thought; to take in, an idea, especially a generalized idea, a general notion. Please note: Jesus never preached or taught on healing. He never preached on finance. He never held programs to raise money. Jesus was obedient to His Father and stayed on course with the message. Everywhere Jesus went, people were delivered. Constitutional Scripture: Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Focus Point: Remember what Jesus stated to His disciples: Constitutional Scripture: Luke 17:20b-21 ...“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
The Holy Spirit is the extension of the Kingdom of God
