Luke 11:20 If I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Luke 17:20, 21  … The kingdom of God cometh not with observation … the kingdom of God is within you.

So many are waiting for the Kingdom of God.  We look around our world and pine for a world where there is no murder, no theft, no terrorism and no fear.  We long for a world where love is paramount and kindness is the rule of law.  We don’t need to wait for this kingdom.  Jesus gave us the road map to it two thousand years ago.  The power to bring God’s kingdom to this earth lies within each one of us.  We just need the will power to do it.  That will power comes from the Holy Ghost, which our Father will give to us if we desire it and if we will use it correctly.  To use it correctly, each one of us has to say NO when it’s easy to find fault with our brothers, NO when temptation stealthily invites us to come in, NO when hate abounds, NO when greed and selfishness knocks on our door.

We often think, “That’s too hard to live like that.”  Actually, it’s not.  The Spirit of God is there to help, to encourage and to give strength.  All we really need is love for God and love for our fellow man.  If we love our fellow man, we don’t want to do anything to him/her that we wouldn’t want done to us.  The finger of God is there to eliminate satan’s kingdom of  hatred,  anger, selfishness and  lust and to replace it with the exact opposite quality of God’s kingdom.

The Kingdom of God lies within and it’s within our reach to grab onto it.  It’s a kingdom that is like the tiny mustard seed.  It may seem very small in my little life, but as it grows in my life, it inspires others and they begin the same journey and they in turn inspire others.  Keep at it and pretty soon there is a great multitude living the love of God on our beautiful earth.  A life of unselfishness will create it here and now.  We can do it.
