Kingdom

Luke chapter 12 says we are to seek the kingdom of God and nothing else. By seeking the kingdom of God first, everything we need will be provided.

So how do we seek the Kingdom of God everyday from a practical standpoint? Romans says the Kingdom of God is living joyful in the Holy Spirit and in 1 Corinthians we read that the Kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power.

The Holy Spirit is power, not talk. The words that come from a pulpit are not what causes change in us, it is the working of the Holy Spirit because we open ourselves to receive. In order to experience God's Kingdom and the power that it is, we must give full control of ourselves over to the Holy Spirit and quit trying to talk our way into intimacy with God. The Holy Spirit is who brings us to the Kingdom, we can't do it.
