Kingdom choosing
It may come as a surprise to many that the Kingdom of God is Living. It has life and is so living
that we can address it as HIM instead of IT. And just as anything of God is Jesus Christ, say,
mystery of God, love of God, righteousness of God…all is manifest in Jesus Christ, so does the
Kingdom also. Kingdom of God is Christ in living. And this is the binding factor in all His Kings
and Priests - Christ. They are all Christs in the One Christ.
And it may come as even more surprise to many that the Kingdom chooses for Himself who to endow
himself with. Yes, its no longer men choosing the Kingdom but Kingdom choosing men. It’s the
reverse order of the harvest. The very Kingdom that Christians are looking forward to is shaking
and thrusting out all that is unworthy of Him.
It’s the work of Holy Spirit in motion, and not a gospel preached by men.

Amen, the kingdom is not a government of state of but a state of the governed by the Spirit; righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. All these things which are manifestations of the person of Christ incarnate in us.
It is within you and manifests from you, not coming from an external position. The kingdom is the executing of God's will and purpose via Christ, whose is incarnate in the many brothers (both men and women)who themselves are the sons of God; in whom now it is no longer they who lives, but Christ lives in them. The kindom is only seen and entered by those who with childlike faith embrace the simplicity of Jesus who said "It is finished".
For what keeps people from seeing and entering is their own unwillingness to "finish" their works to rest in his finished work and be a vessels for the works prepared for them by Father from the foundations of the earth.
Being stripped of all self effort and pride, childlike in trust and confidence in the greatness, goodness, and unfailing love of our Father.
This is where the kingdom resides and presides.
In His love
Kris

I could not have put it better than you. Only it needs to be in the Holy Spirit of God and
not by the best intentions of men.
