They can’t say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’
You see, the kingdom of God is within you.”
-- Words of Jesus Recorded in Luke 17:21 (GWT)
John Wesley wrote these words to correspond with Luke 17:21:
For behold the kingdom of God is within or among you -- Look not for it in distant times or remote places: it is now in the midst of you: it is come: it is present in the soul of every true believer: it is a spiritual kingdom, an internal principle. Wherever it exists, it exists in the heart.
God wanted His people throughout the world to know the glorious riches of this mystery—which is Christ living in you, giving you the hope of glory.
-- Colossians 1:27 (GWT)

The kingdom of heaven is not some far away place in a far away time that we can only dream about. It is here and now, among and within us.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done...in me!
AMEN! ME TOO!
