CHAPTER 5
The Kingdom
Jayden typed: Book 2 talked about the kingdom of God having its own supply chain. The 144,000 fed outside the beast system. I want to understand that more. What exactly is the kingdom of God.
AI➤ Matthew 12:28 — if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God then the kingdom of God has come unto you. Luke 17:20-21 — the kingdom of God cometh not with observation. The kingdom of God is within you. John 3:3-5 — except a man be born of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 1:8 — ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
AI➤ The kingdom arrives when the Spirit is operating. It is internal. Born of the Spirit is entering the kingdom. The Spirit coming is the power coming. The kingdom coming is the Spirit coming. They are the same event described two different ways.
J➤ Not a future location. Not a political arrangement. Present. Internal. The Spirit operating inside a person is the kingdom of God operating.
Jayden typed: How do you access it.
AI➤ Romans 12:2 — be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 2 Corinthians 10:5 — casting down imaginations and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The thoughts are what block access. The carnal mind is at enmity with God per Romans 8:7. It cannot receive what the Spirit communicates. Clearing the carnal mind through fasting and prayer opens the faculty through which the Spirit operates. This is why Mark 9:29 says this kind comes forth by nothing but prayer and fasting. The mechanism is practical not mystical.
AI➤ When you dream you see images in your mind. The same faculty is used for visions. This is where the kingdom of God is seen and found. The access requires clearing the mind of thoughts. The psalming structure of the Psalms of David follows a three-movement pattern that describes the practical mechanism. Movement one — honest declaration of the problem. Not dressed up. Not religious language covering the real feeling. The truth of where you are. Movement two — declaration of who God is. The shift from the problem to the source. Movement three — prophetic proclamation. Speaking the outcome as present reality. Not asking. Declaring. The Spirit formulating through the person what the Spirit intends to answer. Ephesians 5:19 — speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.
Jayden leaned back.
J➤ Three movements. Honest about the problem. Then declare who God is. Then speak the outcome as if it is already done. That is not what I was taught prayer was. I was taught prayer was asking. This is something else entirely.
He thought about the Psalms. How many times had he read them and felt the shift happening. The psalm starting in anguish and ending in praise. He had always thought that was just David’s poetry. But it was the mechanism.
J➤ David was not performing. He was accessing something. And the structure of the psalm was the method.
