DOES THE KINGDOM OF GOD REALLY COME WITHOUT OBSERVATION?


 We all have observed since the time of our birth, with our natural senses, which we have in our natural bodies and we have not really been taught to know the spiritual realities of our true identity or the spiritual realities of the Kingdom of heaven that is within each one of us. This observation by the outer man has been the downfall of mankind and has given us over to a way of life which now comes naturally and for most of us it is all we know and we expect that the Kingdom of God will come by outward observation also.

It is good at this time to pray to the God who made both the outer man and the inner man and ask Him to reveal the truth about the coming of the Kingdom of heaven on this earth in this very special time in the history of creation.

Pray this prayer from the deepest part of your being, the part of you who is with the Father and who came to earth to bring heaven to earth, pray from your spiritual heart of love and purity.
 
 

" Spirit of the living God, the invisible God who indwells His children, our Father who has created all things by His Word our LORD Jesus Christ the first born among many brethren, please open the eyes of my understanding and give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You as I seek Your Truth regarding the coming of the Kingdom of God upon this earth and teach me to see with spiritual eyes that I may behold You in Your coming. AMEN"
 

Since the time of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden there has been an outward observation of natural life on this planet and the spiritual observation or awareness of man has been diminishing and all of mankind has learned to see with the natural eye more than the spiritual eye of the heart. So much so has the natural vision of man taken hold in our conscious awareness that the spiritual eye has not really been spoken about or developed and our consciousness is blind to the spiritual truths of God, which are more real than the outward manifestations of particle matter, which we readily observe with our naked eyes.
 

It is the plan of God to restore spiritual vision to His people and without this vision His people perish. We need to see spiritually in order to restore the Kingdom of heaven on this earth, for the things we see now in the natural will be gone from our vision at the coming of the King in His glory. These things that we observe now are temporal and only the spiritual realities of God will remain when we all perceive with the mind of God and all of our spiritual senses. The elements or particles will melt as we behold the new creation of God in the realm of heaven, which is within us all. It is only the program in our minds that beholds things in the natural and we need to have the mind of Christ with our mind set on the spirit to be renewed in our minds, which will enable us to see the real world that God made in the beginning before we saw it the way we made it in our own minds.

We all are one body in this earth whether we have passed into death or whether we still are living in a body of dust on this earth as human beings. The spiritual program that we have conceived in our minds and which we hold to be true because we live out of our own identity which we receive from others, is the culmination of all experiences of spiritual impartation into the ones who have gone before us and as such we have impaired vision and are unable to see what God wants us to see. Those who have gone before us have created the world that we see by their perceptions of it and we also see what we have inherited by way of inherited accumulated memory passed down to us in our DNA. This deteriorating and corporate vision that humanity has in it's much muddled mass mind is nothing like the Kingdom of heaven that we actually live in and cannot see because of our spiritual blindness. The only way we will ALL behold the Kingdom of heaven is to see it with the mind of the creator, corporately, ALL united in the spirit of God.

To see with the spiritual purity of mind of our creator we need to remove the defiled program, which we have inherited by flesh and blood spiritual teaching and come into a new spiritual understanding of truth by the revelation of Christ in us. We all need to know our true identity as sons of God and children of the Most High God before we can even know the doorway to true perception, which leads to established truth and pure spiritual vision and the return of heaven on this earth within our conscious awareness.

The inward path to truth has caused much conflict in the history of mankind and the carnal man who is in death does not want to give up the pleasures of the flesh, the lust and pride of life to realize his true identity because of the unpopularity he attracts to himself as he loses control of his own life, perceiving others as having an advantage over him and himself being at a loss of his own life to gain the certain way, which is only gained by a walk in faith, he chooses to fall as so many do into the grave and does not obtain his inheritance.

 The Father of Faith, Abraham, walked by faith and because he believed the voice of God within his own heart it was counted as righteousness. There have been many who have been called out of the world of deception to walk by their spiritual senses and called to learn the inner way to eternal life in Christ. Abraham is the Father of faith and we need to study his life and the life of Isaac and Jacob also to see the spiritual walk into the Kingdom of light to become as Israel, a prince with God.

Faith is the starting point of the journey and the end of the journey also and it is not our faith but the faith which is of Christ, which is our true identity, which is already within us all just waiting to hear the Word or the Gospel, Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith and we have nothing to do with the process except to open our heart to hear His voice leading us into the Kingdom of heaven on this earth.

This process is really the renewing of our minds as we allow the spirit of the resurrected LORD to flow into our lives, to give us a new program of life whereby He can observe His own creation in us as we are joint heirs within the land that we have inherited with Him, which is our immortal body glorified with the light of God.

The natural man who we all are to some degree or another does not want to die to the self life that we have, to allow a new identity to take it's place and so we continue on in our sin consciousness resisting Him and we remain in suffering, sickness, poverty and death observing with the outer senses of the fallen man Adam. We tend not to trust the Word of God that tells us that we must surrender the old nature and take on the new that will give us a heavenly view and we live our lives in a way that is obscure and we never know the cure. Jesus is the cure for the curse which befell all of mankind and when He became a life giving spirit able to give us life He poured Himself out to all who would consume Him and take on His life. Jesus was the One who came to over come the Law and to give it to us in our spirit which is an inward way of having the Law of God in our heart and mind whereas no man can fulfill the Law outwardly by observation or religious practice to the extent that it will give life. The law was given to reveal SIN and by the law man was made aware of his error in observation and self thinking, which caused a false image of self. There was no law to reveal SIN until Moses although death still reigned in the lives of man and the Law became a devil for man, which caused him to try to fulfill the commandments of God by outward observation of the Law. This outward observation of the law has been man's interpretation of God's commands upon humanity and not God's. It is by the Truth and Grace of Jesus Christ that the Law of God can be kept as His life giving spirit writes the Law of life on our inward parts as we partake of the life of Jesus Christ.

 If we try to use the Bible as a rule book and try to do all that is commanded in the natural then it is impossible and we only end up with a well trained Adam who has not overcome death or received his inheritance. We need to as children of God know in our hearts the spirit of the living God and only use the written Word for the confirmation of the living Word as He speaks life into our hearts and minds as we partake of Him. The Bible is not a rule book to put us under the Law, which causes death, it is a book which instructs and teaches us as we use it to edify one another in the revelation of Christ in us as a body of Christ living in the spirit of the living God. The Holy inspired inerrant original scriptures are good for reproof and for showing the way to Jesus Christ and they express His life on every page and give us, His brethren, a way to seek the heart of God and to study out the mysteries of God so that we might restore the Kingdom of heaven on this earth to His glory as He fills us all with His own life.

 When we live our lives to the letter of the written Word of God then we are trying to fulfill the commandments of God by observation or by self works of the outer man who is dead and buried. Jesus took all men to death on the cross and we ALL are buried with Him and we ALL are resurrected in Him if you choose to believe it and make it a reality in your own consciousness awareness. To act out of our humanity in observing the Law or the written Word of God in an attempt to gain favour or righteousness with God is all in vain and worthless works of self. This working to gain recognition with God will take the observants to the grave and the Truth of God will not be in them through lack of knowledge of the true way to heaven, which is Jesus Christ the Way the Truth and the Life as we eat of Him and die to self and outward observation.

In the time of our King on this earth in human form as the man Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Jews and people of the east were expecting a King of great power to come and release them all from the bondage of Roman authority. They were expecting an outward observable force to come and deliver them from oppression and tyrant ruler ship. Instead a virgin girl gave birth to a mortal human being who grew up to be the saviour to ALL who would believe in Him as the Son of the Most High God, a man who by all outward appearances was not a man or a King of great power able to deliver the multitudes from their peril. Even as Jesus came at that time to show and to teach an inner power of the soul and life of the invisible Father to all who had been given unto Him so to today we have the same expectation in the multitudes and the same answer within us ALL, nothing has changed. The people in the church today expect to see a physical Jesus appear and heal all their woes in a flash without even considering the work that needs to be done within to behold the King in our inner man. For we know that when He appears that we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. This battle within between the flesh and the spirit is what needs to be won by the victory of Christ in you, your hope of glory and then you will behold the King as He appears in you as every eyes sees Him and every knee bows to Him. The conflict and discernment which lies within our minds between the adamic nature and the Christ nature as the new man struggles to have dominion in the dust of our earth is slowly being won corporately as more and more believers cast down false doctrines of man and open their hearts to the power of God within. Jesus said to His worst enemies the Pharisees who were themselves powerful observers of the letter of the Word of God and the Law of Moses the devil to it's adherents , " the Kingdom of heaven is within you and the Kingdom does not come by observation", so making the point that their observation of the Law outwardly was in vain and that the vessel was to be filled from within by pure spiritual programming.

Many Christians today sadly are still not seeking inwardly but looking for an outward Jesus to appear or for a rapture from this world into some make believe heaven of their own imagination out there somewhere rather than facing square on the truth of God that heaven is within and that we must truly die to self completely to see heaven appear in our own conscious awareness. We also need to know that no matter how hard we train ourselves to be godly we cannot make it to heaven by works of the deceived mind for it all is vanity and God subjected us to that, that we might learn how to come back to Him. All things are of God and we ALL came from Him and through Him and we ALL return into Him again as we realize that we are Christ, the brethren of Jesus and ALL a part of His spiritual body. We ALL came from heaven to earth to play out the role God set for us from before the beginning of time and now we are the generation on this earth to bring the new birth for ALL of mankind as we fulfill our role as the children of God to bring liberation from the bondage of corruption of our deceived minds, putting on the mind of Christ as we set our minds on the spirit and behold ALL things made new.

When Jesus does appear then we shall be like Him and we need to prepare for His coming. This means that we need to see spiritually and ask Him to teach us to hear His living Word, which will transform us as we are renewed in our minds and glorified in our bodies.

From the beginning in Adam there has been deception within the soul of man ( Eve) and man has been leaning on his own understanding rather than knowing the heart of God. In the Garden of Eden was the tree, the Garden of Eden is the consciousness of man and in the center of the soul or mind of man this tree could be observed in the natural or in the spiritual. This tree is spoken of as two trees although it is speaking of God, who made good and evil and who said that now they are like us knowing good and evil as Eve the soul of man partook of the deception or the natural only without the spiritual. Man is to see spiritually and naturally at the same time but with the truth of the spiritual to give true perception. The Father is the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil and we as His children are to learn how to eat spiritually of the tree of life rather than the tree of knowledge of good and evil although we need to know both and Jesus has given us His mind to know how. When we eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil without the true spiritual discernment of God then this knowledge becomes a devil for us as we do not have the fullness of the wisdom of God to make sense of it and we are open to the destruction that comes by knowledge without understanding.

 Jesus is the first born Son of God and He has all wisdom and understanding He is filled with all knowledge and He has control of all the Laws of God within His mind. Jesus has overcome the powers of evil and is the manifestation of love having conquered all for us as we partake of His free gift of righteousness. We need not battle to find our own way to spiritual perfection by observation and carnal knowledge when all we need to do is open our God given eyes and follow Jesus to receive His gift of life by His perfect grace. Jesus has taken away our SIN consciousness by His sacrifice of self and the veil between our flesh and our spirit is now removed, the life of Christ can now flow into the Temple that we are as we allow the self life to be consumed by the fire of His appearing in us. We do not have to struggle with self condemnation or guilt or shame any more for God does not hold us accountable for our SIN, He has removed it as far as the east is from the west. SIN is only thinking for ourselves, leaning on our own understanding or eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil without having the spiritual discernment of the Truth of God. God was in Christ reconciling us unto Himself not holding us accountable for our SIN. It was God's idea to subject us to the vanity of our minds in hope of restoration of the children of God who see the light again and invite the life of God back into ALL of humanity. The things we have observed as a body of humanity over all generations of Adam have served as valuable teaching lessons for us all in the spirit and we are almost made perfect by the sufferings and trials which we all know in the corporate soul of Eve. The age we as a body on earth live in at this hour is of great significance as we are about to see a total manifestation of Christ on this earth as we all set our minds on the spirit and no longer look to the self or the separated identity, which most of us currently hold in our understanding as who we are in this world. We are going to realize that we are from heaven and our mission is to bring heaven to earth to bring forth the new birth in ALL of humanity as the manchild is born of Eve and the new Jerusalem descends upon us ALL as our spiritual mother, the mind of God as we are born again into paradise.

The Kingdom of heaven does not come by observation, no one can see the silent work of the Holy Spirit as God changes us from the inside. It is the heart change of a man or a woman or child which will bring the advance of the Kingdom of God onto this earth and not any change in government or change of moral codes in society. It is not by the administration of human power that peace will come to all of mankind nor by the laws of a coming King. The work of God has always been in the way of willing submission to the will of God and God wills that all will be saved into the Kingdom of life, for we ALL are His children and none will be lost.

 Many Christians will be amazed at just who will manifest the life of Christ as men and women from every nation, tribe and tongue, race and creed will hear the calling from within and respond to the finished work of the resurrected Lord as His spirit worketh miracles in the vilest sinner and brings to nought the wisdom of the wise. We all are now in the grace of God and many people from all walks of life will manifest the life of Christ as they hear the calling and respond from a heart of gratitude and of truth as they begin to have their spiritual vision restored by the faith which is in them by belief on the name of Jesus Christ the only Son of God the spiritual body of Christ universal. Jesus died for ALL and ALL are saved when they believe it, anybody who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved and He will in no wise cast them out. Jesus loves us ALL and God is no respector of persons, He values no one higher than another and we ALL are of value, immense value to God our Father for we ALL are a part of the one body and the body cannot function with one part missing.

Remember that the word Christ means the Spirit of the Invisible God manifested in His Temple and we are the Tabernacle or Temple of God and God wants to make His home in us and with us. The same Christ that manifested in Jesus will also manifest in you as you partake of Him. Jesus became a feast for us to partake of so that the fullness of the Godhead would also dwell in us as in Him for we are ALL ONE in Him as the Father lives in us.

We won't see Christ appear outwardly by any observation of the outer man not until we see Him inwardly fully manifested in His glory as we ask God to restore us to the image and likeness of God as we were in the beginning before we came into this body of death, not until we have gone full circle having completed the Alpha and the Omega of the life cycle of a Son of God, putting all of the earth into subjection to the spirit that we are.

So we won't see the Kingdom come by observing religious practices. We won't see the Kingdom come observing by the outer man with the natural senses and we won't see the Kingdom come by any outward observation in the way of laws or human device or government. Every eye will see the coming of the Lord in His glory but it will be by the inner seeing which will enable us to see Him as He is for we shall then be like Him as He appears also in the physical. The Kingdom comes as we ALL turn our hearts to the Father.

7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

2 Pet 3:9-18
9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
15 and regard the patience of our Lord {to be} salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
16 as also in all {his} letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as {they do} also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness,
18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him {be} the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

(KJV)
 

2 Cor 5:14-20
14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;
15 and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
16 Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know {Him} {thus} no longer.
17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, {he is} a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
18 Now all {these} things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
(NAS)
