The Kingdom Within

Luke 17:20-21

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said,  “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.”  NKJV

My Comments

As much as we believe in the soon return of Jesus and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in the book of Revelations, notice how Jesus answered the Pharisees by stating that "The kingdom of God is within you.", present tense. It is not something external but it is an internal issue, that over time will be seen externally.

Another way of looking at the word 'kingdom' would be 'where the King has his domain', or 'where the King has dominion'. The King lives inside you! The area where He has dominion over, is the area where He has the authority to have control. Let His Life, His Nature flow in you! Let Him have dominion in every area of your life, even the areas where you think you can't handle! He will give you the authority to deal with that area as a child of the King!
