There is a way in which we can reach into the kingdom and possess it. It is a spiritual dimension within us where we become conscious of the presence of God.
The basic New Testament teaching is that the kingdom is inherited. This puts the kingdom on the basis of relationship; it is a thing that is inherited.
The first thing that must happen is the miracle of a new relationship to the Lord. The kingdom starts in a new nature coming forth, the divine nature of God. The kingdom is inherited, based upon an intimate relationship with God that is evidenced in the new nature that we walk in.
We believe for a complete appropriation of all the attributes of God that come with the quickening of the seed or word of God in our spirit. Most people believed that they are saved or born again and stop there.
In a walk with God, we must walk in the truth as it is revealed to us. We must appropriate it, so that the word is sealed to our heart.
We do not presume we have something when it is not manifested in our life. Yet when God witnesses to our spirit that we have it, it doesn’t matter if we see it manifested yet in the natural because we know that we have obtained it in the spirit.
We must obtain something in the spirit before it will be manifested in the natural world; every good and perfect gift comes down into the natural realm, once our spirit is able to lay hold of it.
We need to keep hearing the word over and over until faith is conceived in our spirit to believe. Once faith has come then we act upon what we have received. Then there is an appropriation of the word as our soul comes into conformity to it. When the word is appropriated it is written upon the heart.
When we hear and receive a living word it imparts the Spirit of God into our heart.
Everything we receive from God comes based on a relationship with Him and the development of His nature within us. Flesh and blood, the soul-flesh or the old nature cannot inherit the kingdom-1cor 15:50
The kingdom of God will be established on the earth, but first must come the manifestation of the Sons of God. We cannot see the kingdom come forth fully established upon this earth until it is fully established within individuals.
Every part of our being must be given over to the new nature, the process will run its full course until our spirit soul and body is swallowed up in the new life. There is a metamorphosis that we must go through.
We must reckon ourselves dead to the old life and the new nature must be brought forth. We must seek those things which are above.
The end of all flesh is coming, that is why we must get out of that kind of life. If we are practicing the sins of the flesh our soul garment is unclean and we are marked with iniquity.
We cannot focus on the things of the flesh, we must focus, set our minds on the things of the Spirit and then we will grow out of those habits. As we offer our bodies to the Lord our mind will be renewed. Our brain was programmed by the way we lived before we knew the Lord, so the renewing of the mind is a process.
If we fall into such things, the Lord puts the pressure on us so that we will deal with them.
