His Kingdom is Everywhere -- Through His Spirit

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions" (Joel 2:28)

The Holy Spirit indeed was released to the entire world (Acts 2:17), and by God's grace, the Holy Spirit can enter into man to quicken him from death in his trespasses (Ephesians 2: 1-4).

Thus we enter the Kingdom of God:


"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. "(Romans 14: 17)
Yet this Kingdom by no means is limited to ourselves, although certainly the Holy Spirit pours forth from us:

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

"(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified." (John 7: 38-39)

God is not limited, however:

"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts 17: 28)

The same Jesus Christ who lives in us is the same Jesus Christ who holds the entire universe together:

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

"And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1: 16-17)

Yet for the believer, He is more than Creator:

"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

'For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." (Colossians 1: 18-20)

Let us not limit our awareness of the Kingdom of God to ourselves. Let us pray that God will open our understanding (Ephesians 1: 17-19) to see all that He is, and that He is for us!
