Kingdom of God within you

Seeking something, to me, says that it is not easily seen, somewhat hidden.
You have to search for it.

"Seek, and you will find", Christ spoke.

He also said, in response to the Pharisees who were asking him "When will the kingdom of God come?", He said, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is WITHIN you." (Luke 17:20,21 niv)

...and in the Amplified Bible..."Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].

A man must be born again to "see/enter" the kingdom of God. It is something you find by the Spirit, and it is there for everyone...it is there for you.

You must become like little children...

The Kingdom in you.

I've been thinking a lot of God being our sanctuary, and us/me being His dwelling place... His temple.

Some words from a song I just heard..."You're in my heart, You're in my soul, You are my heaven, You are my home" - by The Afters

This is from a new paraphrase pulled off of bishop Jim Swilley's blog www.bloginthenow.blogspot.com.

Luke 17:
20. On another occasion, the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come. He replied, "The Kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation...with setting dates...or counting the days on the calendar...in fact, you can't even see it with the physical eye.

21. And no one can ever say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the Kingdom of God is within human hearts and minds...why, it's even within you Pharisees!
