For <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> God is not a matter <strong>of</strong> eating and drinking, but <strong>of</strong> righteousness,<br />
peace and joy in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit,<br />
Romans 14:17 NIV<br />
You can now enjoy <strong>the</strong> kingdom life. It is <strong>the</strong> most amazing life. It is a life that exceeds<br />
and transcends just physical and material things although you will be and are blessed<br />
<strong>with</strong> wonderful and overflowing abundance. More than that, <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> God is<br />
about righteousness, peace and joy in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. In o<strong>the</strong>r words <strong>the</strong>se things can<br />
really only be enjoyed in <strong>the</strong>ir ultimate state and fullness in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. I call this<br />

permanent key into <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
When you are in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit you are in and have peace <strong>with</strong>in - even inspite <strong>of</strong><br />

chaos. More importantly peace is <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> God - even in your difficult, chaotic<br />
and crazy circumstances. This peace is God's Shalom. It's His powerful presence which<br />
brings everything to calm. It's His provision that will ensure nothing is broken and<br />
missing in your life. It's peace that passes all understanding. In your inner being you will<br />
have a deep peace regardless <strong>of</strong> circumstances, because when you remain in <strong>the</strong> Holy<br />
Spirit you remain in peace knowing He is in control.<br />
You have joy in <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit. You know you have already won <strong>the</strong> lottery just<br />
because you are God's child. You are filled <strong>with</strong> unceasing joy because you are
