The Kingdom

I've been trying to find a video to this song for months, and have finally found one. wOOt wOOt!! It's a wonderful song, and a very good video - please watch, o.k? :cool:

Heaven's Here on Earth YouTube - Heaven's Here On Earth - Tracy Chapman

Lyrics:

We are the spirit the collective conscience
We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world

Heavens here on earth
In our faith in humankind
In our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

Ive seen and met angels wearing the disguise
Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice

Heavens in our hearts
In our faith in humankind
In our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

Look around
Believe in what you see
The kingdom is at hand
The promised land is at your feet
We can and will become what we aspire to be

If heavens here on earth
If we have faith in humankind
And respect for what is earthly
And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity
And heavens here on earth

Ive seen spirits
Ive met angels
Ive touched creations beautiful and wondrous
Ive been places where I question all I think I know
But I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven
We are born inside the gates with the power to create life
And to take it away
The world is our temple
The world is our church
Heavens here on earth

If we have faith in humankind
And respect for what is earthly
And an unfaltering belief
In peace and love and understanding
This could be heaven here on earth
Heavens in our heart
 
what is Gods kingdom?


Gods kingdom is a goverment that will rule the whole earth.
Jesus said....You must pray , then, this way.....Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place,as in heaven,also upon the earth.

matthew 6;9,10,Daniel 2;44
 
DANIEL 2;44 Gods heavenly kingdom is now well established and it was born in 1914 . and Jesus is now a reigning king DANIEL 7;13-14


Goverment by God is the only real solution to the problems of mankind



The problems that need to be resolved require power, abilities, and qualities that no humans possess.



God can free mankind from the influence of the Devil and his demons, and He has promised to do so, but no human can.


God has made provision to do what medical science could never accomplish—remove sin, thus ending sickness and death and making it possible for people to be the kind of persons that they really want to be.


The Creator has the needed knowledge (of the earth and of all life processes) to solve the problems of food production and to prevent dangerous pollution, but human efforts often create more problems.


God’s Word is already transforming lives so that those who respond to its leading become kind, loving persons with high morals, a society of persons who refuse to take up arms against their fellowman and who live in genuine peace and brotherhood although they are from all nations, races, and language groups.:)

​





and its very good

God’s​
Kingdom—Are You Getting the Sense of It?​

"As for the one sown upon the fine soil, this is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it."—MATTHEW 13:23.​
 
TheGovernment That Will Bring Paradise​

When Jesus was on earth, he told his followers to pray for God’s Kingdom: ​



"Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth." (Matthew 6:9, 10) ​



He also spoke constantly about "the good news of the kingdom." (Matthew 4:23) ​



In fact, he spoke more about the Kingdom than he did about anything else. ​



Why? Because the Kingdom is the instrument that God will use to solve the problems that make life so difficult today. ​



By means of the Kingdom, God will soon put an end to wars, hunger, disease, and crime, and he will bring about unity and peace.​

Thank you James... Sort of along my line of thinking, to a degree... I enjoyed reading this, Thank you brother. Two things...





It is within us? Or it will be within us? Which is it?



Who chooses if you are ALLOWED to Love? And also, what makes you worthy of the kindom that is already within you? ;) If you perhaps looked at it, what would you think?"

Love.

"As you believe, so it shall be". Pretty cut and dry from Jesus' POV, don't you think?
 
neither will people be saying, ‘See here!’ or, ‘There!’ For, look! the kingdom of God is in YOUR midst." luke 17;21


Yes the future king of Gods kingdom certainly was in the midst (or is among you)of those he was speaking too . but they didnt recognise him did they :(


(Jesus is addressing the Pharisees—vs. 20)
