The kingdom of God is the rule of an eternal sovereign God over all creatures and things. The kingdom of God is also the designation for the sphere of salvation entered into at the new birth, and is synonymous with the “kingdom of heaven.”

The kingdom of God embraces all created intelligence, both in heaven and earth that are willingly subject to the Lord and are in fellowship with Him. The kingdom of God is, therefore, universal in that it includes created angels and men. It is eternal, as God is eternal, and it is spiritual—found within all born-again believers. We enter the kingdom of God when we are born again, and we are then part of that kingdom for eternity. It is a relationship "born of the spirit", and we have confident assurance that it is so because the Spirit bears witness with our spirit..

God is sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient and the ruler over all of His creation. However, the designation "the kingdom of God" compasses that realm which is subject to God and will be for eternity. The rest of creation will be destroyed. Only that which is part of the "kingdom of God" will remain.

The Lord has really been making me aware the last few days of how much more than I had realized that my seeking Him and His kingdom these last two years have been very instrumental in my healing from my past abuse and brain injury! Praise the Lord!

I think God has lead me to meditate on this the past couple weeks. I think I've been complicating it in my mind and that it is simpler than I'm making it. Anyway, I will continue to think about this and hope that I "get" it.
