(a chapter from my book, Beauty for Ashes)
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. [Matthew 6:33 NLT] The Kingdom of God is not a physical kingdom. The Kingdom of God is within. It arrived with Christ when He was able to cast out demons. [Matthew 12:28 NLT, Luke 11:20 NLT] By believing in Jesus, Jesus is the new life that lives in us. And the Kingdom of God comes with our belief in Jesus. The Kingdom of God exists amongst us. [Luke 17:20-21 NLT] All received by faith.
Abraham believed God’s promise, and it was accounted to him as righteousness, because of his faith. [Romans 4:3 NLT] Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists, and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. [Hebrews 11:6 NLT]
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank You, LORD GOD, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
