Recognizing the Kingdom Within...

Well, first and foremost, thanks be to the Almighty God who strengthens us day by day through the blood of Christ. Second, I would like to thank my dad for giving me insight into writing this blog. Now, when my father had brought up this topic, I wanted to have strong confirmed answers, (most of you who know me, know how i feel about being the "man with the answers" :)
So now, we have some questions that need to be asked and answered from within so that we can identify the kingdom within.
Who are we? Well, we know that through the redemption of the cross and the blood of Jesus Christ, we are know Gods' children, and we have been born again and received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Christ within us ( Ezekiel 36:26-27; Galatians 2:20; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 4:22-24). So that leads us to ask, what exactly is Christ doing within us? Thus, comes the scripture "The kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)". Christ is continuing to build the kingdom in and through us. We demonstrate the power of Christ on Earth (John 17:18; 20:21; Luke 10:19, Mark 6:7).
So I would venture to say that to RECONIZE THE KINGDOM WITHIN would be to clearly understand what Jesus Christ was saying in Matthew 16:19. What are the keys of the kingdom in which Christ gave to us?
WE are told in Hebrews 11:1 what the key is an that being Faith! Jesus said "What you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, and what ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven", this tells us we have the Power through the Spirit of God to ACT!
THIS IS TRULY RECONIZING THE KINGDOM WITHIN!
