The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is within you Those are Jesus' words He came to Earth from Heaven To set up His Kingdom here Through saints, those washed in the blood of the Lamb, Filled with the Holy Spirit God is building His Kingdom here Now What part are you playing in building His Kingdom ?
Note: Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."
