Kingdom

Something that what revealed to me today in a different way was the word "invisible." I am guilty of so much of my mind being focused on the visible, what I think that I see and know, when these verses share so beautifully otherwise...


Matthew 6:6 -But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.


Our Father is invisible. We see "in part," but as it says in the book of Corinthians, only God can reveal mysteries to us through His Spirit, who in most cases is invisible. 


Luke 17:21 says, "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."   The kingdom! That seems almost impossible, for a kingdom to be inside of us.  Allowing ourselves to truly meditate on that verse, the royalty, the love, the power, the peace, the realm that is inside of us, is beyond what our minds can fathom. All of which make up our Lord Jesus Christ.


Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. "


John 14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.


Romans 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.


Ephesians 2:22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

What beautiful, life giving words to hear. May they speak to you and draw you closer in to our Father. Thank you Lord.
