[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.
A desire to be a good citizen of the Kingdom of FatherGod should be one of the main Spiritual focuses of our Christian life. HIS Kingdom is the framework that we should keep in mind as we consciously strive to apply spiritual laws or principles from HIS Word in our daily, moment by moment life. These spiritual laws or principles include: (1) Law of Faith, (2) Law of Confession is Possession, (3) Law of Sowing and Reaping, (4) Law of Living in Love, etc. Please see the following website for a discussion of spiritual Laws or principles:

In addition, please note the importance of the Kingdom of FatherGod to our Lord Christ/Messiah since HE spent the majority of his time preaching and teaching about the Kingdom. [Matthew 3:2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [Matthew 4:17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [Matthew 4:23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
I have learned and experienced that as a Citizen and Ambassador for HIS Kingdom, we as FatherGod’s children and members of the Living Spiritual Body of Christ/Messiah, have a day by day opportunity to live our life as Heaven On Earth. Just think about it, the lifestyle in the Kingdom of FatherGod should be exactly like the lifestyle of Heaven.
1. Where is the Kingdom of FatherGod?
The Kingdom of FatherGod is within each of HIS children and is referred to in many ways, such as the: Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 3:3); Kingdom of God (Luke 17:21); Holy Spirit of Promise (Ephesians 1:13); Comforter (John 14:26); God in Christ in Us (Colossians 1:27); Power that works within Us (Ephesians 3:20); God at work within Us (Philippians 2:13); [Luke 17:21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

2. What is the Kingdom of FatherGod like?
The Kingdom of FatherGod is a Spiritual Kingdom of love, peace, and justice where Kingdom citizens respect the rights of all persons, living in harmony and equity with all. Each citizen of the Kingdom imitates FatherGod and Christ/Messiah by thinking, speaking and acting in line with FatherGod’s Holy Word.
In addition, the Holy Spirit within each believer leads and teaches us how to act in love, faith, hope and patience regarding all the daily circumstances of life. Moreover, each Kingdom citizen has full access to every good thing in the Kingdom (i.e., perfect radiant divine health (1Peter 2:24), perfect protection (Psalm 91) and abundant provision (2Peter1:3-5 and John 10:10) [Psalm 84:10-12] 10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Kingdom citizens Study FatherGod’s Word, Pray and spread the news of the Kingdom of FatherGod through-out the entire world. In the beginning FatherGod’s original plan was for HIS Heavenly Kingdom to be replicated on earth. HE desires that all humans live as brothers and sisters, as HIS children. As citizens of the Kingdom our thoughts and actions should always be in tune with FatherGod's intention. By being in tune with FatherGod's intention we know true fulfillment or happiness in this life. Through our Prayer, discernment and knowledge of FatherGod's Revealed Word we understand how to be in tune with FatherGod's intention.
Christ/Messiah Our Lord, Savior, Brother, and Join-Heir used several Parables to tell us what the Kingdom is like. All the parables are important however, three gives us a glimpse of the importance of the kingdom to us here on earth. They are:
House Built On Rock - Solid Foundation for Successful Life.
[Matthew 7:24-27] 24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [Luke 6:47-49] 47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Hidden Treasure - Valuing the Kingdom above all.
Matthew 13:44] 44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Pearl of Great Price - Kingdom’s Infinite Worth.
[Matthew 13:45-46] 45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
