Luke 17:20-21 (GNB), Some Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come. His answer was, "The Kingdom of God does not come in such a way as to be seen. No one will say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!'; because the Kingdom of God is within you."
I have no desire to go into great detail with these verses today. This is where my thinking has been over the last couple of days. In fact, I plan on sharing a sermon on this particular subject (sort of), so I don't want to give away too much information. I simply want you to consider the words of Jesus.
As a pastor, there seems to be an emphasis today on doing teachings on a variety of subjects. It has gotten to the place where many church leaders are abandoning the Bible as the main source of their teaching/preaching. God continues to push in the completely opposite direction. It has gotten to the point now that through His Word and His Spirit's guidance that we can unlock information for every area of life. Period!!! How did I come to this conclusion? Simple...the Kingdom of God is within every believer. We just need to tap into it.
Over the weekend, I want you to consider this truth. Ask Father God to reveal His kingdom within you. Ask Jesus to speak to you concerning what is available. And ask the Holy Spirit to continue to show you how to tap into the resources of this kingdom. This is the potential that has not been unleashed in the earth. This is what is missing in the ordinary routine of church "life." The reality of God's kingdom within us removes every barrier. We have unlimited resources at our disposal, unlimited potential in the kingdom, and can have unlimited impact in the world. Can you believe this? Are you ready to operate in it?
I look forward to seeing how God brings this message together for our fellowship. Limitless ability, resources, and power through the power of His Spirit within us. WOW!!!
