My dearly beloved in Christ, I trust in Christ that you would have read and meditated on the God’s word given to us in the past days.

We also meditated about the birth of the son of the Most High – Our Lord Jesus Christ in our souls.

Isaiah 9:6,7 says - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Luke 1: 30 says – Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

Luke 1: 31 – 33 says - And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Our Lord establishes his kingdom in each one of our souls. As each one of our souls are the kingdom of the world, therefore, Our God the Father establishes The Father’s kingdom in our souls by sending his glory through the word of God into our souls. He makes the Son to be born in our souls and blesses us with the growth of the Spirit within us.

Luke 2: 52 says - And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

In this manner, as God keeps blessing our souls, in order to remove the worldly kingdoms from our souls firstly he allows two woes to pass through our lives.

Revelation 11:14,15 says - The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

In this manner, God’s kingdom is established within us.

My dearly beloved, that is why it is written in Luke 17: 20, 21 - Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

In this manner, Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us to possess the kingdom of God within us.

John 14: 1 – 7 says - “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ came to this world, faced many tribulations for us, died on the cross, was buried and rose up on the third day in order to prepare a place for us in his Father’s house. The risen Christ revealed himself first to Mary of Magdalene. Mark 16: 12 says - After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

Mark 16: 14, 15 says - Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16: 16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

In this manner, our Lord Jesus Christ taught about few more things and was taken up to heaven.

Mark 16: 19 - So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Therefore, in Ephesians 2: 6 - and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

In this manner, if he has made us sit together in the heavenly places it means when we die to sin and when we are made alive with Him through his spirit and raise up, we receive the Father’s kingdom in us.

That is why, Jesus Christ said that I am going to prepare a place for you in my Father’s house. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself. In this manner, if we live along with Christ in our Father’s house in holiness then no danger will affect us.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all.
