The Kingdom Revealed Darrell a McLellan

The kingdom of heaven is not just a place to go when we die. It is not away out there in outer space. Every born again believer has been born spiritually into it at the moment of their spiritual birth. It is a spirit realm that God intents for us to begin living in now. We may not have realized it, but it is the truth none the less. When we were born physically in the physical realm (world) we weren't aware of it either but that never changed the fact that is what happened to us. We had to learn how to live successfully in the physical realm and the same principle holds true in the spirit realm. We need to learn how to live in the kingdom of heaven and to do that we need to understand the laws and principles that govern the spirit realm as surely as we had to learn the laws and principles that govern the physical realm. Jesus did not take the kingdom of heaven with Him in His ascension. It is a spiritual kingdom dwelling within the heart of every born again believer in Jesus Christ and we can begin living in the reality of it today. Jesus proclaimed the arrival of the kingdom of heaven on the earth at the beginning of His ministry and He demonstrated its presence and power throughout His ministry. He established it on the earth through His death, burial, resurrection and guaranteed its continuing presence through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of His people. As recipients of the Holy Spirit we have the privilege of the kingdom of heaven dwelling in us and us dwelling in it. We also have the responsibility of expanding its influence and culture in the earth by doing the Will of our Heavenly Father. Jesus command His disciples to go forth proclaiming that the kingdom of heaven is at hand and demonstrating its power by casting out devils, speaking in new tongues, laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover, baptising new converts and making disciples of all men. As citizens of His kingdom we are to rule and reign with Christ and be witnesses and examples of the abundant life He desires for all His people. Hopefully this book will inspire you to discover things about life in the kingdom of heaven that you can begin incorporating in your life now. As the Holy Spirit begins revealing to you the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven your life physically and spiritually will be transformed.
