In Search of the Kingdom of God

I know that God is above everything that goes on here (on earth). I know that He is around me everyday. I know that everything I’ve done wrong is behind me to be remembered no more. As a Christian, I know that Satan is far below me. A thousand may fall next to me; I am upheld by the Lord. Ten thousand may fall at my right side, but God will protect me. He will continuously lift up my head. He shines in the middle of me, so that I know that I have overcome the world with Christ.

He left us under the direction of His Holy Spirit to bring His Kingdom to the world. And though it might be directly in front of you (in me); you may not see it. It is the opposite of earthly kingdoms because you cannot build it physically. The Kingdom is seen only in those (ßmeaning people) bearing the fruit of the Spirit: love.

Thou hast made him(Adam) only a little inferior to (Hebrew: Elohim); with glory and honour Thou hast crowned him, and hast set him to govern the works of Thy hands. (Hebrews 2:7 WEY)

as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12 NIV)

You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. (Psalms 91:7 BBE)

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 NAS)

But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head. (Psalm 3:3 DRB)

God's kingdom does not consist of what a person eats or drinks. Rather, God's kingdom consists of God's approval and peace, as well as the joy that the Holy Spirit gives. (Romans 14:17 GWT)
