PRESSING IN to the Kingdom of God

Pressing in:

Through the Soul Salvation the third member of the Holy Spirit dwelling within you is your comforter, your friend, your teacher your aid in growing into more of what God expects you to be in your spiritual climb, stance and walk in Him.

The Kingdom of God is within in you.
We from the moment of Salvation are babes on spiritual milk until we reach a place of ability in the Lord to eat spiritual meat. From this place of spiritual increase through study in the word,
life teaching us the word is true and the way,
trying and testing the word, obtaining greater deeper unstanding of the word.

Our faith is increased through the word in our walk with Jesus.
We are to press in through faith in Jesus for more...
If we look at the Saints of old in Hebrews 11 we can note that by faith they accomplished. We must ask how close is our walk to the walk of the disciples?

Are we moving mountains, casting out demons,
demanding the blind to see, the deaf
to hear and the lame to walk in Jesus name?

The word tells us we are not only to be able to do those
things Jesus did but do more...

John 14: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

How to get to place of spiritual increase is through the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of the Lord is the Kingdom of God within you.
Recognize first the Holy Spirit is the third person
in the Holy Trinity

Recognize, greet and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
If you can NOT bring yourself
to WANT TO KNOW THE TRUE LIVING GOD
IN THREE PERSONS- you will stay in the outer court
of your spiritual growth in the Lord Jesus.

Ponder the Holy Spirit:
How many scriptures are on the Holy Spirit?
How many times is He mentioned?
What is he who is he what is his commission?
What does He have to do with you?
What does He have to do with your growth in the Lord Jesus?

If you don't know Him you can NOT grow forward in Jesus.
This step or stage level in your walk with the Lord
can be likened to the Israelites in the book of Ezekiel
regarding Holy Templeofferings and sacrifices.
Worshipers would bring their best lamb or calf as an offering unto the Lord but they were only permitted into the outer court of temple. They were indeed recognized by God but this outer court is a symbol of their relationship to God.
Like wise Soul Salvation in the Lord brings us to the outer court in our walk with the Lord. If we do not grow in the Lord we will not advance to the inner court. On this side of the cross our goal in Christ Jesus is to proceed from the outer court to the inner court to enter the tabernacle and the Holy of Holies.

Jesus tore the Vail through the cross... its up to us to grow
and press in to obtain more of what we are to be in Jesus.

SAVED}
Luke 17:21 ;behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


YOU MAY ASK HOW DO I PRESS IN?

A. Get to know the Holy Spirit that dwells within you

-Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


That is a step into the Spiritual Realm of your Soul Salvation
B) Study the Word We grow through it.

-Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

C) Seek, Ask for the greater gifts of the Holy Spirit
There are many gifts of the Spirit we are to seek them.

-1 Cor 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts:
and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

D) See your body as the Holy Temple of the Lord.
You are the building, you are the house of the Holy Spirit.
Your goal is to enter into the Kingdom of God within you.
That brings us back to -recognize the Holy Spirit within.


1 Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own? [again its because the Holy Spirit is within you.


E) We are to ever be growing in our Salvation;
'die to the flesh and live in the Spirit.
Focus on Jesus walk on earth.
We see Jesus did not conform to this world or to any man instead men did strive to conform to Him likewise so should we.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

If you are at this place in your soul salvation;
PRESS IN TO OBTAIN ONE
OR MORE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.


1 Corinthians 12:
4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man "SEVERALLY AS HE WILL."

This is not to be read you will have one single gift.

PLEASE NOTE* definition of SEVERALLY -
separately; singly.

If God wants you as a separate single person and individual in the body to have MORE THAN ONE? gift you will.
God deals with each of us in the body SEVERALLY -
separately; singly... uniquely as we are unique in Him.

What spiritual gifts are you asking the Holy Spirit for?
Don't let up keep asking Him in Jesus name.
Fasting proves we are ready to give of ourselves
Its another means of PRESSING IN.

- We are dieing to the flesh each day and growing in grace. Amen

Consider how we ought to think or handle or how we ought to pray over this or that.
We are always growing in grace Amen
He who says he has arrived and knows all there is to know of God and is all he can be in God fools himself, for we are always growing and learning and we have all eternity to continue.

Recall Lucifer thought he arrived in Isah 14 with all
those I wills do and I will be. We want our lives to bring honor and glory unto the Lord God in Jesus not seek to steal his Holy Throne. For obvious reasons the idea is as ridiculous as it sounds.

- Do we see ourselves as pilgrims in our faith walk in Jesus?

You and I never lived this life before, we are pilgrims here. Its a journey in the Lord and though you and I may walk on the same road we walk different, separate, unique roads for our path in Jesus is as unique as the disciples before us.

-We can rejoice the disciples before us had Jesus.
We have the Bible.
The disciples left us a map the BIBLE [THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Through Salvation we have our GUIDE; the Holy Spirit within ..PRAISE JESUS*.

If we know the word and live by the word, we will avoid many pitfalls, setbacks, bewilderment's, snares and negatives if we strive to be Holy as God is Holy.

Fear not for those of us that have traveled the road more traveled. We learned the hard way.
For many of us its a miracle we are still alive... Amen

Let us RECALL ITS NOT WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN... ITS WHERE YOU ARE GOING THAT COUNTS.
Jesus separates our sin from us as far as the east is from the west.. unlike satan... he thrives on reminding us of it... the sadder sickening thing is he often reminds us through individuals that "call themselves Christians" ((there's your sign))

PRESSING IN...
we are moving from what is the basic teaching of the word not loosing what we have but moving along to learn more to gain more of in Jesus. We are hungry for more we want fresh manna, we want something more in the Lord.

We speak with the Holy Spirit of the True Living God
The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob
The God of Israel
The God that gave us his only begotten son
Jesus Christ that who so ever believes in him will not perish but obtain everlasting life John 3;16

Jesus our Savior who paid great cost left us with the Third member of the Holy Trinity ;
The Holy Spirit to comfort us ... He is the friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

The Holy Spirit of the True living God will speak to us and tell us whatsoever we ask in Jesus name.
He will guide us. He will aid us in our growth in the Lord.

KNOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU.... is not just for soul salvation, once your saved
you will be knocking on new doors for your individual
personal spiritual advancement in the Lord.

Knock on the Holy Spirits door HES THE ONE WITH THE GREATER GIFTS.
Knock the door of your Savior and talk to Him.
Knock on the door of the Holy Temple of the Lord and enter into the Third Heaven enter the throne room of the Lord.
Knock on the door of the Lord Jesus and ask if He will introduce you to His Father...
Knock on the door of the Holy Angels in the name of the Lord Jesus seeking their immediate aid in Jesus name.

PRESSING IN... go to the throne room of the Lord Jesus weather in the body or out of the body
Visions are like that.
For myself its a vision.

2 Cor 12:2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of
the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Bill Wiese had a vision of hell where he actually felt the pain, smelt the stinch and professed his spirit was indeed there. We are all unique in our [last days] walk in the Lord. Amen


I HAVE BEEN IN THE THRONE ROOM OF THE LORD' yes to the Third Heaven where Jesus rules and reigns.

you may say: it is written, Eye hath NOT seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

;then I would tell you

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [1 Cor 2]


See that?

- THE NATURAL MAN IS OBLIVIOUS-
TO THE SPIRITUAL MAN.

THE NATURAL MAN is deaf, dumb and blind.

-The Spiritual man having tasted of more - having seen things that could only be revealed through the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ will continually increase in hunger for more and strive to press onward and inward deeper hungering for more of the Holy Spirits teaching and revelation.
As he grows he ever desire a closer walk in Jesus.

In this place faith is increased again.
Prayers are answered more quickly.
You will see miracles happen more frequently.
For the Spiritual man - the Holy Spirit is readily available to speak with you always.

-For the natural man - he appears to be in some far away seemingly unreachable place due to his lack of concern or an unright heart in the Lord.

Spirit to Spirit - The Lord will reveal much to you;
perhaps you will experience waves oceanic waves, hear them and feel them gently crashing into you, gently covering you. They seem so real you may wonder how you are breathing under the water.. This is a symbol of the washing of the water of the word, the filling presence of the Holy Spirit and its a spiritual anointing in the Lord God Almighty the Holy Heavenly Father...
GLORY HALLELUJAH Praise our Holy Holy Holy three in one God. Perhaps He will take you to the throne room where you will see people and angels in His court yard everyone doing something.

These things above that I listed are a tiny drop in the bucket of the things our precious God has shown me and I share them with you that you will hunger for the pearls to liquid gold the Lord has waiting for you...
ONLY ASK KNOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED.


What are we building?

1 Kings 5:5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.

On this side of the cross you are a building with invisible stone. You are building a house unto the Lord... your body is the Holy Temple to house the Lord. It will be obvious when we get to Heaven what we built up while on earth in the Lord... Amen
Mark 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

-Perhaps Jesus will take you to the top of His Holy Mountain and reveal secrets to you that pertain to your life and or the life of others that you need to pray for or show you things to come.

Perhaps He will take you into the Holy of Holies and hold a hot burning ember to your lips.

What will the Lord will reveal to you?

PRESS IN....
even if you are in that spiritual place its not enough... so you moved a mountain... that was great it was a miracle but it was then and its not enough now you need to move another one...
did you see the lame walk?
Did you see empty eye sockets grow eyeballs where there was none? Did you see the deaf mans face when he heard his first word? KEEP PRESSING IN FOR MORE, let us press in
and say ...we shall see creative miracles.
Claim by faith today what we will do tomorrow in Jesus .. Amen

A strong part of
PRESSING IN... is THROUGH our TONGUE, our words can defeat us.
The tongue is a seed planter... and every seed we plant with our tongue will produce a harvest.

Our tongue lays a path for our future...
its a rudder of course and direction.
Its uplifting or down casting.
It will work for us or against us.

If we can not bridle it
It will defeat us before get there.
Our tongue should be in accord with our faith.

Tame the tongue and force it to open doors of tomorrow TODAY. I will aspire to more in the Lord my God in Jesus name.. I will continue to press in for more into the Kingdom of God that is within me via soul salvation Hallelujah Praise the Lord on High
Praise the Father Son and Holy Spirit.

PRESS IN THROUGH PRAISE...
Praise is another must in pressing in.
If we are unthankful we will not Praise the Lord and we will not press in.

Psalm 33:1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Our God demands Praise
Speak your rejoice out loud into the air that the spirit world can clearly see and hear your
Praise is for your Jesus your Savior
Rejoice in your three in one Holy God
Rejoice for this is the day the Lord has made.
Rejoice for your battle is won
The victory won at the cross where Jesus defeated satan
Praise Jesus... Glory to God in the highest praise the Holy Spirit. Praise the three in one true living God.

Psalm 98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

WE SURE DO CHANGE THINGS INTO OUR FAVOR IN THE SPIRIT WORLD WHEN PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

Praise God that he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.


PRESS IN.... MENTALLY
Take into captivity every thought.


2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Take hold of the spirit that is bringing in the thought and cast it out in Jesus name.Cast out spirits and thoughts pull down strongholds in Jesus name that want to govern or overtake your mind.

Example; cant pray?
Cant dwell on the Lord or His word?
In Jesus name cast out the spirit of hindrance from your mind that is hindering you from the Lord.

Strive to detect what spirit is doing what to your mind ... call it by name and cast it out.
Spirit of slander, jealousy, anxiety, lust, greed, fear, confusion, strife, just to name a few.

If you do not know what to call the spirit , then cast out the spirit that is causing you to think on?> _____ YOU FILL IN THE BLANK.

Surely we know we cast out in Jesus name... Amen
All power of heaven and earth is in the name of Jesus.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is on our part.Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his REWARD.

-The mind is powerful in leading the body; satan will dart through the mind to see what he can get us to dwell on. If he wins; you lost some REWARD Jesus had for you. Some place or position of work in the Lord or some spiritual gift or some blessing was taken from us.

If we don't care about blessings in the Lord He can easily take them from us and give them to someone else that hungers for them. If we don't want to work for Jesus as He desires. He will and can easily give our position to another that is striving to be Holy as God is Holy. He does not need us. His word and His work will go onward without us.
But isn't it a wonderful joy that we are apart of the Lord going about His business each day.

PRESS IN...

Are you purging your heart before the Lord?
Saved you ought to be asking the Lord to forgive you
of your sins of omission and commission each day;
the sins you know you did and the sins you
did and didn't know you committed.

Saved you are still a sinner, you will tell a white lie,
you may not do what the Lord has asked you to do, you may be rebellious, you may not have your mind in captivity, or your tongue may not be bridled

What ever you have sinned you have not sinned against man but against God .. SEE the man may forgive you
of your sins against him but if you have not ask God to forgive you of your sins against the man
then your sin remains and you are unforgiven.

For example if you stole a mans lamb, killed it
and cooked it for dinner.
You may find forgiveness by the man you stole from
but you did not take it to the Lord God in prayer and
so you are still guilty of that crime.
We reap what we sow.
We suffer loss of rewards.
We fall short of the glory of God.
We have much to loose if we do not confess our sins unto the Lord.
We can fall under the wrath or the curse of God as appose to His blessings, goodness and mercy.
And deeper still who has the ability to cast a man into eternal hell? Its not another man, its God that has that power.

Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.


Ask Him; the Lord Jesus will reveal.

Its good to heart check often to see what may have taken root in your heart that you are unaware of.
You can cast it out just as quickly as you were saved; in a moment thats all it takes.
Purging yourself before the Lord... and it feels lighter it feels good to keep clean. Strive to be Holy as God is Holy.


PRESS IN...

STRIVE TO SURROUND OURSELVES WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE PRESSED IN BEFORE US.

STRIVE TO LISTEN TO OTHERS THAT HAVE PRESSED IN AND ARE STRONGER IN THE WORD THAN WE ARE.

ITS JOY TO ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE THAT FREELY

ENTER INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES AND CAN SHARE THE JOYS OF THE LORD FROM THAT PLACE WITH US AND EDUCATE US IN THE WAY SHOULD GROW IN JESUS.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.

MY HOLY SPIRIT TELLS ME God desires me to COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF MY TRUE LIVING GOD
AND SPEAK WITH THE KING OF kings and LORD of lords.

KEEP PRESSING IN:
TOMORROW IS TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE TODAY.
AND THE NEGATIVE TONGUE CAN WASTE IT.
speak GOODNESS INTO YOUR LIFE EACH DAY BLESS YOUR CHILDREN DON'T CURSE THEM.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR MIND IN JESUS NAME.
PURGE YOUR HEART ...SEEK FORGIVENESS EVEN THOUGH YOUR SAVED YOU SIN.
To think not is pride and that's a sin.


PRESS IN THROUGH PRAYER

1 Thes 5:17 Pray without ceasing.


The Parable of the Widow and the Judge

Luke 18 1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

God is telling us if we press in through prayer, YES HE HEARS US.

We can see the Widow pressed and was troubling the Judge.
But oh how good it is to be on the Lords side: 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. YES... AMEN PRAISE JESUS


PRESS IN... take CHARGE - take COMMAND
BE BOLD... COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF ALMIGHTY GOD. CAN YOU; you should.
WILL YOU DO IT?

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore

((( come boldly unto the throne of grace,))) that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

In order to press in we must go to the throne of God almighty
Be bold...
Do you wear the Armor of the King of kings and Lord of lords?
So your in His Army.
Has your King told you come before Him boldly?
Yes
((( come boldly unto the throne of grace,)))


-[Approach] Lord Jesus according to your Holy Word
you have promised me you would honor my request expediently as you have written in your Holy word in my favor.

Luke 18: 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily

IMAGINE THIS:
as you are standing at the throne of the Lord God Almighty he draws back a curtain and shows you the ranking powers and principalities of the darkness of this world and you see.
The adversary of the Lord Jesus at the top and the trickle down to the last little troll thing and minute whatchamacallit all working for the demise of humanity. Working hard to rob, cheat, kill, destroy and the rest of iniquity
and this great evil is working hard against your loved ones and you as well the rest of the world.

Did you get bolder yet?
See God did all He can... He gave His only begotten Son
See Jesus did all He can ... He gave His life He paid great cost for our Salvation..
See the Holy Spirit is doing all He can... working with us..
See are you and I doing all we can or are hiding under a rock.
We need stand upon the Rock and do all we can. Be Bold your in the Army OF THE LORD... YOUR IN THE EPIC BATTLE OF YOUR LIFE... WILL YOU FIGHT
WILL DO ALL YOU CAN...
COME INTO THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD
DEMAND THE WORD PRODUCE WHAT IT PROCLAIMS IT WILL IN YOUR LIFE.

YOUR IN A I NEED THE WORD TO UNFOLD NOW SITUATION. and it will. Praise Jesus.


To say I don't ask God for anything I'm good I have all I need.
Is a picture of the Luke warm church and they are not the church of Philadelphia those possessing the key of David.

PRESS IN....
WANT MORE BIGGER BETTER GREATER THAN IN YOUR LIFE?

Then see your battle ragging on in your mind see it for what it is... Call the plan of action ... speak out into the Spiritual world and it will be done in Jesus name ... Glory to God Hallelujah RISE UP IN JESUS!

Moses by faith lifted his rod and God parted the Red Sea.
