The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of Revelation, and of Truth.
The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of truth, revealed only by revelation. The bible is filled with spiritual truth, but truth has never set anyone free in the history of the world. What sets a person free is when they “know” the truth of scripture. No amount of memory of scriptures can set anyone free until that person has a revelation of that truth.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
John 8:32 And ye SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, and the truth shall make you free.
Known truth is what sets a person free. The word “know” in this verse, and the word “knew” in Genesis 4:1 is very similar in definition. Adam “knew” Eve, and she bore him a son. Not until a person has a intimate relationship with truth (to know) will it set that person free. Known truth is revelation of God, and Wisdom is revelation from God. Jesus tells us how this revelation can be received......
John 14:21 He that HATH MY COMMANDMENTS, AND KEEPETH THEM, HE IT IS THAT LOVETH ME: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I WILL LOVE HIM, AND WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM.
God's commandments are made up of words. The word “KEEPETH” means “to guard, and to protect.”
A person who loves Jesus is the man who guards, and protects God's Word inside himself. Jesus then says, “and I will love him, and manifest myself to him!! That is revelation, that is knowing, that is having a intimate relationship with the truth, which is Jesus. The word “manifest” means to uncover that which was not seen, and now is clearly seen. Obviously seeing Jesus can not be done with our human eyes, but the eyes of the hidden man of the heart. The Apostle John was a Word man, and every thing he talked about in all of his writing was about the Word of God. Because of that Jesus manifested himself in his Kingdom to John. The book of Revelations proofs that.
Anytime Jesus reveals himself to the man who has hidden his Word in his heart, he is revealing his Kingdom from where he sits enthroned. When Jesus was brought before Pilate Jesus said.....
John 18:36 Jesus answered, “MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But MY KINGDOM IS NOT FROM THE WORLD.”
John 18:37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. FOR THIS PURPOSE I WAS BORN AND FOR THIS PURPOSE I HAVE COME INTO THE WORLD—TO BEAR WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
Jesus brought his kingdom with him in his ministry, but his Kingdom was not from this world. Jesus came to bare witness to the truth. Bare to the truth of what? His Kingdom!!! We know God's word is truth, because Jesus said, he was the way, the truth, and the life. The word, “truth” means “reality”.
Reality can only be found in a place that never changes. We think this world is reality, but that can not be because this world is passing away, and the lusts there of. Reality can only be found where things never change. The Kingdom of God is everlasting because it never changes, just like it's creator.
The power of the Kingdom of God is the only power that can change a person, or bring healing, prosperity, well being, peace, joy, or any other thing that is of that Kingdom!! Jesus said....
Mat 12:28 But IF I CAST OUT DEVILS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UNTO YOU.
Jesus cast out devils from the within the Kingdom that he brought back to this earth.
The ability to see that Kingdom in which ALL Christians have been translated into is only seen through revelation of the reality of truth that God reveals if we love Jesus and keep his Word in us.
