Introduction

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelations 3:22) The Spirit is travailing with the Church today in anticipation of Her bringing forth the purposes of God. This travail is like a woman about to give birth. She tries to be content but will not be satisfied until she receives the fruit of her desire. Paul said "I am in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you." (Galatians 4:19) Paul said HE had the pains of childbirth just as many others who minister to His Church (see Philippians 3:7-14.) Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness know this feeling as well as those with a humble and contrite spirit. We cry out like David, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” (Psalms 42:1,2) Although we have been redeemed and filled with His Spirit, we yet long for a "salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." (I Peter 1:5) The "zeal of His House" (John 2:17) consumes us and His message deposited deep within us is "like burning fire shut up in my bones." (Jeremiah 20:9)

The Lord ignited a fire within me about the true Kingdom of God. The purpose of this writing is to furnish a fresh and timely exposition of Christ‘s words, "My Kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36) Whereas much of evangelical Christendom has adopted the teaching of a natural and futuristic kingdom, this will be a timely and more complete look at scriptures which reveal that the Kingdom is spiritual, it's found in His Person and is available NOW. The kingdom is wherever men accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ. His nation and people are believers (I Peter 2: 9) united in faith, who have enthroned Him as King in their hearts. Since "the seeing eye and the hearing ear are from the Lord", (Proverbs 20:12) I pray as you read this that God "may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." (Ephesians 1:17-19) God told Isaiah "Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me," (Isaiah 45:11) and Jeremiah "Call unto me. And I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not!" (Jeremiah 33:3)
