TWO KINGDOMS ARE IN CONFLICT

The Heart must choose the Government of Christ OR the Government of the Flesh. Yet, not all of me chooses to surrender to Christ all at once. Christ's Kingdom is not "ALL" or "None". The Governing of a Territory by an invading power does not usually work that way. Usually it is little by little, a gradual subjugation up to 100% of the territory. Natural warfare illustrates this so perfectly. Usually, some of the territory, holds back surrendering, until the pressure becomes over-whelming.

The Kingdom of God here, though invisible, is an extension of God's Heavenly rule & reign by Christ Jesus the King. God's rule is by the Spirit & brings a different kind of order to each of us under the influence of our Heavenly Father's Character as it is displayed through Christ Jesus. The default setting for the ruler-ship of my life is..SELF, is ME, is My Will. That's the default for every one of us. I wonder how much of my human territory is fenced off from God. How much is closed off from my Lord Jesus?

The Kingdom is not, ..the "Profession of a Creed", nor is it membership in a "Christian Religious Church System". The Kingdom of God is a voluntary submission on my part unto the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost Government of God's throne upon which Christ Jesus now sits as King of Kings & Lord of Lords.

The Kingdom comes by Prayer; not my will but thy will be done. The Kingdom comes into my life as I surrender in prayer. Giving us the Kingdom is the Father's pleasure, but that is different than exercising a "possessing of the kingdom". Possessing.. is the removing of the previous tenants, which is truly entering into our inheritance. Being Birthed into the Kingdom is one thing; but, Possessing the Kingdom is a completely another step of faith, a completely different other thing. See Deu 26:1

Once we accept and see the Kingdom then comes the War of Faith which is the "taking" of the spiritual land; the Driving out & subduing of the spiritual inhabitants. That is the our War of Faith. Under the O.T. it was done literally, by physical energy. Under the N.T. It is done Spiritually, by spirit energy. We may not live in the land peacefully, except by walking with our God. It is a daily life of resisting in Holy Ghost Warfare by using God's Mighty weapons against all the spirits (inwardly & outwardly) who surround us, who fear us, who are jealous of us, and just plain hate us.

Gradually, little by little, in patient faith they are driven out by God & me!

Ex 23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
Ex 23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Ex 23:31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
Ex 23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Ex 23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

God will drive them out; you shall drive them out. Nations mightier than thee. Deu 4:38 But, greater is He that is in me, than the world system which tries to continue its influence upon me. But, remember that the testimony of God's call is to establish the testimony of Christ in a world where all your neighborin nations are peopled by unbelieft in your God. From time to time they will attempt to remove you, capture you, steal from you and even kill you. All is legal. God supplies all of our need according to his riches in glory.

This is not after-life time in eternity. This is Kingdom Now. Eternity comes after Jesus 2nd Appearing! Behold, He Comes Quickly!
