The Kingdom of God Part 2
The Kingdom of God is within me, and it can never be destroyed. With this truth in mind, you'll rest assured knowing that you can never be destroyed.
Zechariah 2:8
For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye."
Nobody can bewitch you, destroy you, or touch you. Whoever touches you or plans evil against you touches the apple of God's eye.
Matthew 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth;..
You are the SALT of the earth. This means that you are a preservative, that you never decay. Wherever you go, there shall be preservation in that surrounding due to your existence and above all, due to the fact that Christ lives in you!
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
You have the final say, through Christ Jesus. You are a king. You have dominion by virtue of accepting Christ, meaning that you are in charge. Deal with that devil that brings opposition in your life, for greater is He that is in you, than Him that is in the world (1 John 4:4). You belong to a living God, whose Kingdom reigns.
Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
You are the light of the world, and the Light (Jesus) lives in you. This means that wherever you go the light goes with you.
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
The Kingdom and knowledge are synonymous. Knowledge is key in the Kingdom of God. You have to understand where your authority comes from. You have to understand that you don't make Jesus a King, that He was born a King.
John 18:33-38
Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all."
You are a part of a Kingdom whose origin is above (v. 36). Jesus came to bear witness to the truth (v. 37), and the truth is that the Kingdom has a King. Until you know who Jesus is, until you know Jesus as a King, you will not be able to take dominion.
What are the characteristics of a king?
Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
God owns everything on earth, and He has control over everything on earth. Understand who your Father is, and that He's in control of everything on earth.
Psalm 103:19
The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.
The Kingdom of God rules over all. The Kingdom we are part of rules over all.
Those are the truths you need to know about the Kingdom you are part of.

What are the characteristics of a king?
- In every Kingdom, the King is central and everything revolves around him. In the Kingdom of God, Jesus is central as He is the King (John 18:37). In Him everything was created (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16).
- The King is the ultimate and only source of authority in the Kingdom. In a kingdom, the king is the constitution. Everything Jesus says is final. Jesus lives in you by virtue of the new birth, and that guarantees that you have authority through Him.
- The sovereignty of a King is inherited. The King cannot discuss anything with anyone, whatever he says is final. Jesus is our King. His word is final in your life. If He says you are healed, that's final. All you need to know is what the King has said, agree with it over your life and it shall come to pass as His word is final.
- No king is voted in power. We are kings by virtue of the new birth, and we cannot be voted in or out. We are born kings through Christ. No one can vote our King out of power, neither can they vote us out. Whether people like Jesus or not, He is the King of kings. We are supposed to be representatives of the King of kings here on earth. You cannot represent somebody you don't know. You cannot be able to represent a Jesus you do not know or believe in.
No body can bewitch you, as you are part of a Kingdom that cannot be destroyed, and the King of kings lives in you. You have to know who you are.
You are a king by birth right. A king's authority is obsolete. Whatever the King has said can never be discussed or negotiated over (Psalm 19:8-11). - Every king owns everything in his domain.
Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
God owns everything on earth, and He has control over everything on earth. Understand who your Father is, and that He's in control of everything on earth.
Psalm 103:19
The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.
The Kingdom of God rules over all. The Kingdom we are part of rules over all.
Those are the truths you need to know about the Kingdom you are part of.
