The Kingdom of God is for Today!

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and The Spirit he cannot enter the Kigndom of God. John 3:5

I used to believe that the Kingdom of God was in Heaven, but God has shown me that it is also here on earth and that our spirits can live in it daily while going through life's trials!!!

God's Kingdom is Peace and Security!

I became born again after many years of being saved ~before I was born again I was living and feeling all the stress and anxiety of the world. It became so bad, so seemingly unbearable, that I even went to my doctor and I almost took medication for it, but I cried out to God to show me a better way because my heart knew that medication was wrong for me. And God did show me a better way, He showed me His way, the best way!

I relinquished my control, that is the control I thought I had, or the control I wanted to have but deep down really knew that I didn't have and that created fear in me. I knew that I couldn't really control others and their actions, and honestly nore did I really want to be controling others, such as my husband and kids. What my heart really wanted was for my husband and kids to be themselves and to be able to make their own mistakes, and to be able to come to me, trusting me, knowing that I would love them and support them. Looking back I now see that I was very pridefulI and what I actually needed to do was to humble myself before God. So I admitted to God, and to myself, that He has the control, not me, I fell onto my knees at the foot of the cross and I made a decision to put Jesus in His rightful place in my life. That rightful place is first, not just wherever I felt like I could fit Him in.

I allowed Jesus to baptise me with Holy Spirit. I invited Holy Spirit to live in me and I agreed to start listening to Him and following Him, no matter what.

As a child I had accepted Jesus as my saviour. At eight years of age I was baptised with water and at 32 years of age I was baptised with Holy Spirit.

Before 32 I was a mess inside, from trying to be in control of all situations and I'd fall apart when things didn't go my way. I was also a perfectionist and I put way too much unnecessary pressure myself. My anxiety grew and my self esteem dropped. Then Jesus helped me to see the light! I saw that I was a mess and messing up because I had chosen to be the engine of my train following the tracks of life and what I needed to do was to make Jesus my trains engine, I realized that He could do a way better job than I could! Jesus always knows the best track to be on!

That was the day that I started to SEE the Kingdom of God and to WALK in it!

God showed me that life around me on the outside could be a mess but that on the inside my spirit could stay in peace. God reminded me of a house with a thermostat, it could be a cold and stormy day outside but inside the house it is warm and comfortable. I am the house, and outside the world can be a crazy mess (& it is!) but inside of me Holy Spirits leads and keeps my spirit in Peace, in God's Peace.

It has not been an easy path, it is something I work on every day, some days I fall and that's ok because Jesus is always there to pick me back up again when I stretch my hand out to Him, but it has been well worth it and I have seen God's Love and Grace working daily in my life.

The day I chose to ask Holy Spirit to live in me, the day I chose to give God His rightful control in my life is the day that Love Himself came to live in me and every day He allows me to see things through His eyes as long as my eyes are focused on Him!

And my dear friend He can, and will do the same for you too if you choose to allow the walls surrounding your heart to come down and you let Him in.

The Kingdom of God is right here, right now, waiting for us to live in it daily!
