    If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

    Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more
