A Kingdom is comprised of a KING, a Throne, a Castle (Mansion, Temple, Great House), and of course a GARDEN, in which we have endeavored to concentrate our focus. Matthew 6:33 says to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.

     1. The KINGDOM OF GOD is where God lives.

     2. The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD is Who He is.

The people of God are the CITY of God (Zion). They are also the Bride, the Lamb’s wife. The people of God are the Temple of God and they are the Living Stones that corporately make up that One Temple. They are the Trees of Righteousness in the Garden of God and they are His Sons and Daughters. God’s people are His Kings and Priests and Stars. We are His Flames of Fire, which all together make up a Lake of Fire. We are everything that is anything of value. That is what God says of His Children who are to grow to become Young Men who grow to become Fathers (women as well as men for there is no difference, male or female; it is Christ in you the Hope of Glory). Christ is all in all! Christ is the HEAD and His Body is the Fullness of Him that Fill all in all (Ephesians 1:22 &23). Do you see (by hearing) that there is NOTHING left out of this equation? I’m going to write the verses that prove from the Word of God that what I’m saying is not from my own sense or knowledge but from the Word God gave us in order to REMEMBER WHO WE ARE. We are not left in the dark for we have a Light (the Word).  Revelation 21: 2 &3, 9, & 10; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Peter 2:4&5; Isaiah 61:3; 2 Cor. 6:18; Rev. 1:6; Heb. 1:7; Daniel 12:3; 1John 2:13; Galatians 3:28… Please don’t take my word for it. If you don’t know these scriptures, check them to see if it’s right. If they’re not or if you have a question please let me know. I’m very approachable and just want to serve you. There is a command that says, Prove ALL things! If you do this you will be safe for you will be walking in obedience in this area.

     Words are unseen. But words can create or destroy depending upon which type is planted. The invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen. They are understood from the things He has made: the sun, the stars, space, trees, the planets, the mountains, etc. These things that are seen are constantly speaking to us about the invisible things inside of us. They declare God’s Glory! Romans 1:20

     The SUN (SON) is our Source of Life. It is a Consuming Fire that gives us heat and LIGHT (KNOWLEDGE), and it causes the fruit of the earth to grow. We cannot live without the sun (Son). The earth revolves around the sun. Does your earthen body (your life) revolve around the Son? The Sun is stable and unchanging and other planets revolve around it also. If the plan-its were to not revolve around the sun they would be no more. As long as the plan-its go around the sun, then they are on course and headed for their destination. Do you plan-it around the Son? Or is the Son left out of your plans so that your earth does not include the sun. Your plan-it must revolve around the Son in order to be on course. There is no other way!

     I relate the sun to the Son in order to show you the simplicity of Gods’ Voice speaking. The sun is placed in the tent of the heaven all by itself and gives life to the earth and everything on it. Without the Son (Sun) there would be no life, nada. Zilch!

     The Son, Who was always with the Father, was sent as the Incorruptible, Perfect Seed. Knowing that He would remain by Himself unless He died and was buried, that being a law of life, He gave Himself without flaw to the Cross, death, and to the ground in order to produce a whole crop like Himself. He became the Originator of a NEW CREATION OF MANKIND. This new creation has started on the inside of you in the form of the Word of God and it is growing outward day-by-day. It will eventually change your body from mortal to immortal. WOW!…In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made by Him (the Word) and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him is Life and the Life is the Light of men. Light gives us the ability to see. It enables the crops to grow. The Light is on the inside. It’s an inside job! Many run and look out there for the job, the career, the opportunity, etc., but the fullness of all that has meaning is on the inside, in you! Imagine that!

     The Word was made flesh. Just as the seed of man is placed inside a woman and this natural, temporary seed becomes flesh, so it is with the "New Creation" Seed. This New Original Seed (the Word) came to a young girl named Mary. She believed the Word that was spoken by the messenger (the carrier of the Seed) and she received "It" unto herself. The Seed (Word) was formed in the girls’ womb. It became flesh & dwelt among us. Does this sound incredible? Well it is! Isn’t it also incredible that a microscopic sperm seed would come out of the loins of a man, enter a woman, and that this tiny seed would form a person? I’d say that’s pretty incredible also! From this seed, flesh and bones would form and a heart that would pump blood through the system second by second for years on it’s own. From this seed would be formed a thinking brain containing information that would dwarf the best computers. This being would have the ability to walk, talk, speak, handle things, smell aromas, and make decisions and much, much more. This is the best-case scenario. These amazing feats performed by this wondrously made being would normally come without effort. This body with its’ feelings, thought power, and maneuverability was produced by a tiny seed! Yes, this too is incredible!! Yet each amazing act performed by this "wondrously made" being would normally come without effort. A tiny seed produced this body with its feelings, thought power, and maneuverability! Yes, this too is incredible! Yet each amazing act performed by this amazing machine is taken for granted. Most operate without gratitude for the privilege of having all of their faculties, if they are blessed enough to have them. Some don’t, and many of these are grateful for what they do have. Why is this? Is it because logic and reason explain this phenomena away telling us that we’re "all that"?

     Would it be so hard for a God Who could do all this for us to plant His Word in woman, and have His Word become flesh? I don’t think that would be a great dilemma for an Almighty God. Let us not allow our worldly-wise egotistical minds to explain away the incredible. The purpose of God coming to earth in human form is multi-faceted. A part of His purpose will be revealed to you as you follow along, and more will be shown to you as you continue in your quest for the "True Life". Through His Son He showed and told us how to gain life more abundantly!

     Before His death Jesus said, "Unless a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it will remain by itself". But if it would go into the ground and die it will bring forth much fruit. And so it is! The WORD was made Flesh and gave His Life. He was killed. But you can’t kill the Word! The Word is Immortal, Incorruptible Seed. It did fall into the ground and die but has sprung up as a Tree of Life! Those who hunger for true life eat of the Fruit of this Tree. This Tree bearing Seed of the same Nature (Incorruptible, Immortal, and Eternal) produces and gives fruit in which is the "Seed" of the same Nature. Yet all would be different in character, looks, and personality. Those who received this Seed (Word, Jesus) into their soil (soul) would grow into the same Nature as the Original Tree, for the Seed becomes a Tree! They would be willing to lose their life to take on Eternal Life. They would no longer live for themselves but would grow from the Root of the Lord but Servant of all mankind. The Master Gardner would nurture them.

     There is potential life in every seed. What is needed for its growth is: death, good soil, bacteria, water, heat, and light. At times it needs fertilizer, which many of us get, sometimes too much! If it is placed in this environment it will grow and prosper if tended properly. A sprouting seed of any living organism, except for human, has no choice but to seek this environment. But as humans we must "will" to find this place that is conducive for growth.

      Only "seekers" will find it. We are not forced! We are drawn, or led by the Spirit to lay ourselves down that we might be raised up in "newness of life". What is produced is a copy in Nature, or offspring of the New "Original" Seed. This is our escape from death! We make the choice to die that we might live. There are those too who reject this and decide to live their own life, and so die. Do you see this?

     Life in the spirit is so glamorized at times that the great sacrifice of one’s life is portrayed as easy, when it is not. The decision to die to your own way of life is the hardest decision in the world, but there is no other way in order to live. Once the decision is made the yoke we then bear becomes easier, especially when we learn to pull, yoked up to the One Who’s already done it. The burden is Light, not heavy, but Light (Knowledge of God). No man can see God and live! Once the decision is made to die, we then begin to see God! To some this is an emotional, spiritual experience, and some remain and grow in it. Others open the door for logic, reason, and self to explain the experience away. There are those too, who after seeing what is needed to be done, turn their will and their lives over to the care of God, seeking only His Will. Emotional experiences (thrills and chills and supernatural highs) definitely follow the commitment as obedience and yielding to "the Gardener’s" cultivation is expressed. For me, as I continue to learn of and draw near to Him, I find "joy unspeakable". It cannot be told. It must be experienced! Some say that we should keep this experience to ourselves. I can only deduct from this that these people have not partaken of what I am talking about. To have this great gift and to not share it with others means that I really don’t have it. Love is the "key" to this faith, and to not endeavor to give this greatest of Treasure with others would be to say that I don’t have Love, or the Treasures.

     Thorns and briars will try to spring up around the "young tree". These thorns and briars (cares and riches of the world) must be first of all recognized, and then eliminated. If they are not stopped they will choke the flow of the living water flowing from the spirit. Like a dam (damn), the new growth in the soil (soul) will be denied its necessary life flow. The Spirit and the soul need to function together as "One" for the soul to get its life from the Spirit, just as the moon gets it’s life (Light) from the Sun.

      Thorns and briars (cares and riches of this world) will dam (damn) the New Life growing from the soul.

     I saw a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river there was the tree of life which bare 12 manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

      This river is pure, no spot or blemish, it is undefiled. It is clear as crystal. Am I being clear? Where does this river come from? It proceeds from the Throne of God. Where is the Throne of God? It is in the Kingdom of God, of course. Where is the Kingdom of God? It is within you! Look at Luke 17:20&21. It cannot be observed with natural sight for it is a spiritual Kingdom and it is inside of you, in your spirit. That which is spirit is spirit. That which is flesh is flesh. It is there already but you have to go to It in order to see It. If you seek what is on the outside and leave what is on the inside deserted then you will only see what is passing away and you will miss what is real and eternal. Jesus said in John 7:38&39 that "out of your belly shall flow rivers of Living Waters. These are the same waters and they flow out of your belly (your midst, your spirit) where the Kingdom of God and the Throne are. Do you see this? If you do, that means you are seeing things that are invisible. Hallelujah! We’ll see more and more as we go in deeper into the Garden and the City of God.
