Points to Ponder:
-A kingdom is the sovereign rulership and governing influence of a King over His territory, impacting it with His will, His intent and His purpose, manifesting a culture and society reflecting the King’s nature, values and morals.

-The very heart of a Kingdom is it’s King.
Heaven exists because of the creative activity of God. It is infused with His presence, character and authority.

-Jesus came to the earth to re-establish the
Kingdom. Here & Now!! The Bible leaves no doubt as to His Kingship.

-Jesus said in John 18:36 “My Kingdom is not of this world” and again “My Kingdom is not from this world”. (Kingdom of
Heaven) Notice Jesus said His Kingdom was of or from this world; He never said it was not in this world. His kingdom on earth originated in Heaven!

-God created us for kingship-for dominionand inside each of us is a latent kingdom consciousness striving for expression. We long to control and resist being controlled!
