"Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITH IN YOU."
The Kingdom of God is with in us. The Kingdom of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Righteousness could be to have the right mindset in all situations. To have the mind of Christ. It could be for everything to be in right order in your life according to the will and the promises of our Heavenly Father. For everything to align to Kingdom culture and for His divine order to take precedence
Righteousness comes from a place of rest. Where you yield to Him and allow Him to transform you from with in. Bible says in Philippians 2:13: "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
It is Papa God that creates in us a clean heart and renews a right spirit in us to do His good and perfect will.All we have to do is say yes and allow the almighty to have His way.
Ezekiel 36:26 also says, "And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you...."
It further says in this scripture that He will make our heart tender and responsive to His peaceful voice.
God is the one who has the power to change our hearts all we have to do is yield to Him and allow Him to be almighty. He makes all things beautiful. He is a good and loving God. His plans are of good not evil, to give you a hope and a future.
Shalom (peace) which is a Hebrew term that means peace, completeness, prosperity, and welfare God wants peace, completeness, prosperity and welfare in your life. Declare Shalom (peace)
Joy which only is the joy that God gives from heaven. The joy birthed by the Spirit of God. Joy is what gives you strength when facing a challenge. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
After bringing this scripture (Luke 17:21) to my remembrance Sweet Holy Spirit told me to DECLARE:
"RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN MY SOUL." The soul is our mind, will and emotions.
I declared this 7 times. Just like the wall of Jericho fell after the children of Israel walked around it 7 times. 7 I believe is a number of divine completion and power. Strong holds that have created a wall of darkness in the soul must fall because of God's words of power, life and truth.
After declaring this I felt like a surge of power in my soul. My soul was revitalized and strengthened at that moment. This is a practice we can do to declare righteousness, peace and joy in our souls whenever we face a challenge or are feeling heavy. Declare this and know you are a child of God full of power because the Kingdom of heaven rests in you. Greater is He in you that he who is in the world.
Our words have creative power. God's words demonstrated creative power when the earth was created. As He is so are we as the scripture comments. Use words to bring life to your dwelling and transform situations.
Change begins from with in. If we can tap into the power (Kingdom of heaven) with in us and release it to our situations heaven will be a reality.
