"The Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU."
"He that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son."
...."to him that overcometh shall I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."
...."to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna...."
"And he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations."
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as also I overcame and am set down with my Father in His throne."
Once the spirit within a human has been quickened by the overcoming life of the original overcomer, Jesus Christ, it has been conceived, and has been given the power to become
a son of God. John 1:12
It is through spiritual gestation, as in physical gestation, we see through the glass darkly and hear faintly just as a new babe in the womb sees through the flesh darkly and hears
muffled sounds.
During the gestational period of a newly conceived son of God he will face many things that require spiritual growth to occur and this is by the hand of his Father. The things that must be overcome are mainly your old self and the things of the world.
In overcoming your old self, it is the destruction of the carnal mind, I.E. the renewing of your mind, that will accomplish this goal. Anything that is sent your way to destroy self is a blessing
and a testing of to what point you have turned away from the carnal nature you were born with. Another way to say this is to what point has the spiritual son within you matured to be
able to control the carnal mind and its desires, lusts, etc...at the same time the things of the world that the mind lusts after will fall away as the son within you continues to mature,and take control.
There are many things that the son must overcome during his gestational period in order to be birthed a mature son ready to live in the spiritual realm, just as a new babe must fully mature
in the womb before birth or it will not succeed at life if underdeveloped at birth.
Our goals in the gestational period, while still in the body, are through tribulations that destroy self. "......We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
And if that kingdom is within you, then where should your focus be? Externally or internally?
The perfecting of you is done by the Father who will continually send tribulation your way to destroy what remains of the human nature that you have lived your entire life subjected to.
And that is always focusing its attention externally through selfish desires and lusts for the things of the world. SELF, SELF, SELF
We know that we will not see perfection until the first resurrection, but it becomes our responsibility to respond to the opportunities that we are given in order to become like
our Father, God.
As long as you remain in the body your sole goal must be to put on that new man whose qualities include love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and
temperance.
Your objective is to examine every situation in life to determine what the Father is trying to instill in you and respond to it accordingly by death of self will, or self preservation, as when
one saves his life he shall lose it. Meaning to retain the old is to forfeit the new eternal birth.
When we become consumed with the external we are being diverted from the maturing of the son within, therefore let your attention be internally so that the developement
of that son is full. As that becomes more and more obvious the works, peace, and love for others will flow no matter what is done to you, and yes that is a hard, narrow road
that our Father has put us on. He did the same to Jesus and expects the same from us, and so does our Lord Jesus Christ.
Continue to strive to overcome everything that you need to overcome and let no promise to the overcomer be left unfulfilled in your life. Let your time on earth be used to be matured,
so that when the time of spiritual birth comes you will be fully ready for the spiritual realm as a new creature which is a Manifested son of God.
