GROWING GOD’S KINGDOM WITHIN YOU

3/10/25 GROWING GOD’S KINGDOM WITHIN YOU

Matthew 13:31-32 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Today as I pondered the above scripture I thought about His process in bringing the kingdom of God onto earth…. And in growing His kingdom within us.

Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Luk 17:20,21 AMP Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. 

It takes years to grow a tree! When you look at that tree every day, you don’t see its growth. But when we give it time, you do see gradual and measurable results.

When you plant God’s seed you must:

• Plant it in good soil (willing and obedient)
  • Matthew 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

• Water it daily (praying in the Spirit)
  • John 7:38-39 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, whom they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

• Daily nourishment (searching His Word)
  • Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
    
• Daily light (keep your focus on Him Who is Light)
  • Luke 11:34 The lamp of the body is the eye: therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

WORD TO PONDER I AM CALLING YOU TO PRAY MORE 1/11/11

Beloved ones, I AM calling you to pray more; pray without ceasing. My kingdom comes through planting My Word into the earth. I AM teaching My people that you can accomplish much more through prayer than through mere words or human tools of persuasion. No matter what kingdom you are dealing with, whether it be a kingdom within a loved one’s soul, or any power structure upon the earth, My way is always through prayer. Even as I rose early to pray and also departed from the crowds to pray, follow Me.

Mt 14:23 NKJV

And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

Mr 13:33 NKJV

Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

1Th 5:16-18 NKJV

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Mt 17:20-21 NKJV

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
