His Kingdom Has Come.
The Kingdom of God is for you. Right here and right now. God has intended His Kingdom, for you, His child. Everything that is of God. His complete reign, in you. His complete sovereignty, over you. All of God, for you. His Kingdom come, in you, here and now. This, He has intended, for you.
From the beginning of time.
For you.
It's true.
Yes, it's true, God's plan for you, right where you are, is for His Kingdom to come.
His Kingdom to come, in you.
And all the fullness of Christ, made available and completely accessible through Christ's redemptive work, through Christ's saving work, at the cross of Calvary. Where He died, where He rose again, conquering death, in you who puts your trust in Him. So that His Life, His Kingdom may come, in you.
God's Kingdom, the Kingdom where He reigns victorious. Where the cross has won the war, where the battle is already won and the enemy is already defeated.
In spite of your external circumstances.
God's Kingdom, the Kingdom where He reigns sovereign. Where all things work for good for those who love God, where every promise is fulfilled and the result is always life, abundant.
In spite of the chaotic, uncontrollable events around you.
God's Kingdom, the Kingdom where Christ is Life. In you. Where in Christ you find your being and Christ becomes your only treasure, where the old you is dead, and the new life has come - Christ's Life has come!
Where His Kingdom has come. Here and now, in you.
