II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Mark 10:14
"So soon as SELF-will is canned and pitched into the garbage, then does the Father's Will get a chance to take over! Just so long as your own ego is at the helm, just that long are you due to perspire under stress, to worry, get sick and die!
Get this very clearly:THERE IS NO SICKNESS, AND NO DEATH IN GOD'S KINGDOM!
HOW can we live "in His Kingdom"? Back to the 12th Key: You must commence to "live in Christ"! NOT your own foolish thoughts to dominate every 16 hours or more of your day, but HIS LIVING WORDS your daily diet!
...Have you forgotten, or maybe you are not aware that very God commanded us to "gain dominion over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air; over cattle and all that creeps on the ground" (Gen. 1:26)? IF you believe that His command was but to net a fish, shoot a bird, domesticate cattle and to step on the head of a snake: think not that you are even within a lifetime or two of "the kingdom of God" on earth! Maybe you worry, or find yourself under stress? Or, maybe you are concerned as to how and when you can get a new car, or buy a new house? All of such thoughts, imaginings or emotions indicate that as yet "the Kingdom" is only a Hope!
