KINGDOM COME

Matthew 12:28 (KJV)
“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” 

To be driven by the Spirit of God.  “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand” (Acts 13:9-11). Paul acted under the influence of the Holy Spirit. “Be not filled with wine wherein there is excess, rather be filled with the Holy Ghost.” A high level of alcohol causes one to act under its influence; likewise, a high level of the Holy Spirit in someone causes them to act under His influence.  Being filled with the Holy Ghost is being saturated by His presence, His influence and directives.

There is a kingdom in the heavens and from the throne of God a constant flow of His Spirit pours into the sea of glass. This sea of glass is a transparent floor or chasm between spirit and flesh.  The eternal God sets upon this throne and rules from here.  Flesh is irrelevant and unconscious of this place; yet, spirit has the ability to invade flesh space and possesses dominion over it. Flesh is either under the influence of the Holy Spirit or evil spirits, and our spirit has been empowered by God to choose which will have dominion.

When these evil spirits are subdued by the Spirit of the Living God, Kingdom activity takes place; God’s Kingdom has invaded the here and now. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded” (James 4:7-8).  The Scripture also tells us a double minded person is unstable in all their ways. We must make up our mind which we will submit to. It is all up in this noggin of ours. Inside this noggin our heart chooses; every issue is settled here and flows out of here. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in this earth as it is in heaven.
