Many people in the USA today seem to want a king. I too want a king, but I want a different kind of king. I want an invisible king who rules me from within. The last thing I searched for online were the Scriptures quoted in this post.
The kingdom of God is direct awareness of and intimate closeness to Christ the King. It is radical obedience to Jesus and to His will. Many hardships are required to bring a human being into the kingdom (inner government) of God — to full surrender to and alignment with King Jesus.
When your will, your opinions, and your desires are finally being broken down, the kingdom of God is beginning to break into your life. That’s why the Bible says: “The testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:3-4) That’s why Paul and Barnabas said: ” We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22)
There are too many words about Christ without closeness to Christ. It’s time to embrace the inner government of King Jesus and to truly let Him be the Absolute Lord and Master of our life. (James 1:22)

Fire of Jesus?
Christ-carriers
Can ignite you.
Faith is more caught
Than it is taught.
No mere teaching
Is able to
Show you Jesus.
Let Him reveal
Himself to you.
Seek and you will
Find.
