…¨Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the
Kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.¨ _Matthew 13:11
To live
effectively in the Kingdom, we have to know and live out the principles of the
Kingdom. It is a matter of fact that these principles cannot be understood
outside of the Spirit of the King, God. Matthew 6:33
Jesus answered and said to him, ¨Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.¨ _John 3:3
The kingdom
of God is hidden, to be sought, yet I believe that it is not from us that it is
hidden, but for us. The kingdom of God is hidden for me to seek out the
treasures and glory thereof. It is not with natural eyes that we behold the
kingdom but we are rest assured that it is very present.
7 times
Jesus speaks in parables about the kingdom of heaven and He likens it to a man
that sowed, to a mustard seed, to hidden treasure and to a dragnet. Through all
these Jesus teaches about the principles of His Father´s kingdom. Halleluyah
for it has been given to me to know and understand the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven!
Then God heard the voice of the lad…then God opened her (Hagar)
eyes, and she saw a well of water. _Genesis
21:17-19
In the
kingdom, there is no room for disappointments. While the principle of self says
that there first must be a problem to have a solution, the kingdom of heaven
has it that the miracle IS before the obstacle. 2nd Kings 6:16-17
Our kingdom
is the kingdom of heaven, and it requires that we walk by faith, faith that
works through love.
…but faith working through love. _Galatians 5:6
If truly the
kingdom of God is within you and me, it must show to the world around us, shining
the light in a dark world.
