Entering the Kingdom of God

Living Under the Reign of the King

When Jesus began His ministry, He didn’t present a theory,
a philosophy,
or a new religious system.

He presented a Kingdom.

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand;
repent, and believe in the gospel.”
—Mark 1:15

Jesus came to bring Heaven into your heart—
not one day,
not someday,
but today.

THE KINGDOM BEGINS WITHIN YOU

The Pharisees searched for signs and outward glory,
but Jesus revealed a mystery:

“The Kingdom of God is within you.”
—Luke 17:21

The Kingdom begins where Jesus takes the throne of your heart.
Where His will becomes your desire,
His Word becomes your foundation,
and His presence becomes your life.

THE KINGDOM TRANSFORMS EVERYTHING

1. Your identity changes.

You are no longer a slave to sin—
you are a child of the King.

2. Your purpose changes.

You are here to represent Heaven on earth,
to carry light into darkness,
to bring healing where there is pain.

3. Your desires change.

You begin to want what God wants.
Holiness becomes beautiful to you.
Obedience becomes joy.
Prayer becomes your lifeline.

4. Your priorities change.

When Jesus said,
“Seek first the Kingdom,”
He wasn’t offering advice.
He was revealing the pathway to peace,
strength,
and supernatural provision.

5. Your authority changes.

When you submit to the King,
you carry the authority of the King.
You pray with boldness,
you speak with faith,
and you walk in victory.

THE CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM

The world celebrates pride—
the Kingdom celebrates humility.
The world honors power—
the Kingdom honors servanthood.
The world believes in revenge—
the Kingdom demands forgiveness.
The world worships self—
the Kingdom worships the King.

The culture of the Kingdom is the character of Jesus
formed inside of you.

THE VALUES OF THE KINGDOM

• Righteousness: a heart aligned with God.

• Justice: God’s compassion for the broken.

• Holiness: the privilege of walking in light.

• Love: the greatest force in the universe.

• Mercy: new every morning.

• Truth: unchanging and eternal.

• Faith: grounded in the King’s authority.

These are not rules—
they are the DNA of Heaven.

THE POWER OF THE KINGDOM

The Kingdom of God is not words.
It is not theory.
It is power—
resurrection power,
chain-breaking power,
healing power,
deliverance power,
Holy Spirit power.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead
is the power that lives in you
when you live under the reign of the King.

 Citizens of an Eternal Kingdom

You were not created to live defeated,
confused,
or powerless.

You were created to live as a citizen of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

When Jesus rules your heart,
His Kingdom becomes the atmosphere of your life.
Every step you take carries purpose.
Every word you speak carries influence.
Every battle you face carries victory.
Every valley you walk through carries His presence.

You belong to a Kingdom that is eternal.
Your King is undefeated.
And His reign is your peace,
your strength,
your hope,
and your future.

 Welcoming the Reign of the King

Father,
we come before You with humble hearts,
thankful for the privilege of belonging to Your Kingdom.

Jesus, King of Kings,
take Your place on the throne of our hearts.
Reign over our thoughts.
Reign over our desires.
Reign over our homes.
Reign over our destiny.

Let Your Kingdom come within us
as it is in Heaven.

Remove anything that does not honor You.
Tear down every stronghold.
Heal every wound.
Break every chain.
Restore every broken area of our lives.

Fill us with the culture of Heaven—
love, truth, holiness, mercy, and faith.

Holy Spirit,
ignite us with the fire of the Kingdom.
Let Your presence rest on our lives.
Let Your power flow through us.
Let Your glory shine in us.

Today we declare:

Jesus is our King.
His Kingdom is our home.
His reign is our peace.
His glory is our future.

We give You all honor and praise.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
