The Kingdom of God

Where is the Kingdom of God?

On earth, here, as it is in heaven, in us... as it is in God. It is our human life, that sacred space in which lives the very Spirit of God, the very life of God. The kingdom of God is in your midst (Luk 17:21)

If that’s not true then the Incarnation, God the Son becoming man, is meaningless. The Kingdom is found where God wants to establish it, in our human relationships with each other. That is when it started; that is where it began; that is how it came into being. Jesus continually speaks about it, explain it in to us.

God’s Kingdom is God’s will, God’s desire for human life, where we find the quality of our human life. God’s Kingdom is the expression of His will that your life, and those who live in your life, might be filled with His joy, His love, His mercy, His justice, His truth, and His peace.

Whenever we pray the Lord’s Prayer we pray to God: Your Kingdom come, your will be done ON EARTH. ...as it is in Heaven.

God’s desire and will is nothing else but that we be filled with the fullness of well-being, happy living, total life. Nothing else is God’s will.
