"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand." (in your midst) Mark 1:14-15

“…your saints will extol you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might…” Psalm 145:10-13

The time had come for God’s Kingdom to resurface
Because it was always in the mind of God
Therefore God sent His Son at the right ‘time’ (Galatians 4:4)
His disciples would ‘soon’ receive the Holy Spirit and
The Holy Spirit would enable those (adopted sons) to
Live the expression of the ‘Kingdom’

People enter God's kingdom by accepting his rule (purpose),
Not by moving to a new territory because earth is our legal domain (Genesis 1:26-27)
People enter God's kingdom by being born again—they accept his rule in their lives
They accept Jesus as their King, and he reigns over them (administers His mind to them)
The kingdom is both present and future--The kingdom is already in existence
But not yet visible in its fullness on this planet

“Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.” Roman 1:1

The Gospel of God is simply God’s original purpose for man and
God’s original purpose for man is seen Genesis chapter 1:26-27

We thank God for the Holy Spirit who makes the Kingdom life possible
In Christ we are strengthened for a life that was given to us before
The foundation of the world in order to extol His Name! (Ephesians 1)
