What Is the kingdom of God?

Matthew Ch 6 V 31
So Do not worry, saying, what shall we eat or what shall we wear.(V31) for the pagans ( Non Believers) run after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them, V33.. But SEEK FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well V34 Therefore do not worry about Tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its self.... Each day has enough trouble of its own.
 Ok Then, What and where is the kingdom of God? This is an important subject . If you look in the back of your bible for the references, you will find an astounding number of references on the Kingdom. Now when we think of a kingdom in earthly terms ,we think of a government ,a structured society with rules and guidelines to form a social structure.
So whats Gods ? Its simply the church ! Its the body of believers that has excepted Christs sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Note Verse 33 also says and his righteousness. Whats that? Simply put, RIGHT LIVING by the moral code as taught in the bible.
 IN today's culture what was once wrong is now execeptable. Having a family (Children) with out being married,gay relationship's,The Moslem's say to lie is OK as long as it promotes Islam .We all can think of things that are excepted in society but are condemned in Gods holy word. These are true signs of the end times.When man lives for his self and disregards Gods love and grace to do his own thing.
 God tells us that right living ( Righteousness) is the key to an eternity with him in a kingdom ruled by the Son of God himself. He paid the price by his blood to redeem mankind from his sin and all he asked is to let him into our life and hearts and ask forgiveness for our sins and for him  to help us live a righteous life and we will be in his kingdom....Welcome to the family of God!.... for prayer requests or questions email onebyoneministrys@ymail.com...      untill  next time may God keep you in his care !

What is Gods will for me ?

In The Lords Prayer Matt. Ch 6 verse 10 it word states " Your Kingdom come YOUR WILL  be done.
Ephesians 5 V 15 to 17  Is understanding what the Lords will is Verse 15 says , be very careful then, how you live ,not as the unwise but as the wise.

James Ch 4 V 15  states ; Instead you ought to say "If it is the Lords will ,we will do this or that.

Psalm Ch 143 V 10 Teach me to do your will for you are my God may your good spirit lead me on to level ground.

Teach me to be steady in my faith with no ups or downs stable in Christ Jesus Not on the path, off the path , not luke warm or cold but on fire with the zeal for God in our hearts .

God has a plan for each one of us as believers. He has a plan for every man women and child on earth that is or will ever live on earth. We have free will to find it and follow it or not.

Ephesians Ch 1 V 11  In him we were also chosen,having been predestined according to the plan of him who works everything in conformity with the purpose of his WILL..... In Him ? In Who?  In Christ Jesus !

We step on to the path of Gods will when we except Jesus as personal savior . Its there, we began our journey following the will of God through Jesus

Sometimes that pathway may lead us into trouble times. Lets look at Joseph, in Genesis ch 37 V 1 and in ending in ch 50 A wonderful look at Gods Plan or will  at work.

At 17 years old Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. and after a time he became in charge of all Egypt  It was Gods will he was sent there to save Israel from starvation from a great famine. Take time to read the whole story its a marvelous view of Gods will .

Now when we are going through difficult times its hard to think I'm in Gods will . But Gods ways are not are not our ways and sometimes to get us from point A to point B he uses difficulty in our lives to move us ,strengthen us and teach us. I'm sure Joseph though life wasn't fair as would I in the same place. However ,each of us will have our own difficult times  it may be learning something or to move us in another direction ,but rest assured Gods plan for your life is for your good and the good of those that love him and those that will find him in the future !  Until next time may God richly bless you..
