What Does Yeshua Say? - Your Scripture Meditation Podcast‪.‬ Priestess Cassandra

The Kingdom of God Is Within You -

A Meditation on Luke 17:21

What does Yeshua mean by saying "the Kingdom of God is within you?" The Kingdom of God is the Holy Spirit within you, filling your heart.

You don’t have to search far and wide for a physical location to find the Kingdom of God. You don’t have to abstain from eating this or drinking this or that to find the Kingdom of God.  Romans 14:17 tells us that the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

To access the kingdom of God, you must be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit of God.

John 11:25 (ESV)  

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

I Corinthians 15:51-52, 54 (WEB)

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

54 But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written [In Isaiah 25:8] will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Yeshua said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. (NOG)

I Thessalonians 4:15-18 (WEB)

For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Yeshua said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life! Whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, shall live. (TLV)

Rev. 22:12 (WEB)

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Revelation 3:7-13 (ESV)

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. 

8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ 

Reflect: 

Reflecting on the Scripture. In this message, Jesus speaks to His Church, the Body of Christ, as a whole and to each individual member. Both yesterday, today, and forever. To all those who profess to believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. The following Scriptures, Revelation 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; and 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 confirm that there will be a time, in the very near future, when 1) the dead in Christ will be resurrected, 2) immediately afterward, those in Christ who are left, will be caught up (raptured), and 3) these end-time believers in Christ (those with a Philadelphian-like spirit) will not go through the tribulation.

Rev. 4:1: After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 

I Thessalonians 1:10 -. . . and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. 

I Thessalonians 4:15-18:  For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Luke 9:23 (CSB) & (AMP)

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing
in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].

Galatians 2:20 (WEB:

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Colossians 3:3-4 (AMPC):
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.
