I have been learning alot about living in the Kingdom of God here on earth. As we read through the gospels, Jesus is constantly saying this statment... THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE. I am very interested to hear in modern day language and with practical applications what this statement means to you in this S.C. lifestyle we live in.
Let's start off with some from Jesus....

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE.... a treasure hidden in a field.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE.... a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE.... a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

IN MY EXPERIENCE.... NOT WISHFUL THINKING...

The Kingdom of Heaven is like... always feeling at home with other believers.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like... going to the bank and having more than enough to pay the bills.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like... having children grow up to follow Jesus their whole lives.
Aida,
Boy that brought peace to my heart this morning. Imagine, being at peace?? Being free?? You're right. I have more peace and peace over my home than many people I know who are in such termoil.

Bless You Aida!

Oh my, what a great analogy! (What a great Landlord we have!) This is how I felt while I lived at home with my parents ask a kid. I didn't have to worry about finances or grown up problems of politics, war, fixing the car or anything like that. They took care of everything. I could just live and be free and happy. And I've chosen to continue that pattern of living as an adult because to me:

THE KINDGDOM OF GOD IS LIKE... living at my parents house where I am fully loved and taken care of. Where I don't have to worry about silly earthly things or fret over where we'll get the money to live on this earth.

Living in the Kingdom of Heaven is like...when a big, strange dog come charging at you, and you stand big & firm and shout NO and the dog just tuck tail and runs away.
The Kingdom of Heaven is ........ not being afraid of the dark anymore! (in more ways than one)

After deliverance, dread no longer had a strangle-hold on me. It felt like I could breath deeply without apprehension especially regarding the future. And ---- dark alleyways didn't bother me like they did before.
Linda & Chuck....
Now this is the Kingdom that I want to be a part of..... How many of us need this revelation of a Father who LOVES us.....
Wow... Thanks for the comforting word this morning.
