Now when He (Jesus) was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”The Kingdom of God is found in the person of Jesus Christ, drawing near to His people so that the Kingdom may be advanced through His people. So, the Kingdom is advanced in us before it can be advanced through us.
Jesus Christ in us, the King of Glory, desires to set His throne, His Lordship within our lives as we walk in faith, obedience, and perfect submission to His will for our lives. Everything flows forth from intimacy and relationship with our Lord………and so does the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom comes alive within a person when there is a desire to KNOW their King. To advance means to move or to bring forward; to accelerate; to further something or someone along; and to simply change position from one point to another point. God is calling us to advance the Kingdom in our midst, to bring Heaven to earth and to line up with God’s promises here and now.
