Romans 14:17 (NASB20)
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Colossians 2:17 (NASB20)
things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The substance being the thing itself, that being, the living experience of the Kingdom of God, which is found by the experience of the doing of righteousness which brings in the peace and joy…. Which all sounds great in theory, written on paper, but scripture has the things themselves being found in Christ…. So where and how then is the experiencing of them..?

God has shut up all in sin that He might have mercy to all, for there is no one better before Him then another, all are equal in His sight… The Kingdom stands open to all equally, accessing, living in and experiencing this Kingdom in the immediate now, is the substance that is found in Christ… There is only one thing that prevents one from experiencing this living sensibility of this Kingdom and that is the lack of desire towards it… For if the desire towards the Kingdom of God is one’s highest desire, that desire breeds faith, and faith in and towards the Kingdom of God is the only thing that is required to experience the Kingdom of God as a living experience in life….. For all of life does fall right in place once one’s desire is towards the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in one’s life, the manifestation of righteousness, which brings peace and joy to such a degree though someone be in prison they are the freest of the free….

For the substance of this freedom is brought forth in Christ, by the simple wanting of Him above all…. For in the doing of righteousness is the substance of peace and joy found… For by the embracing of one’s death in Christ, itself, being the opener of all the substance….


Be blessed in the experiencing of the substance, Not me
