This Present Kingdom

<p>Jesus teaches us pursuing a heart of goodness,&nbsp;always seeks to obey God's law to not murder from having a heart that feels anger yet does not sin by understanding its dangerous, knowing its purpose, and expressing it as Jesus would if he were us.</p>

<p>We must tame our anger to become the kind of&nbsp;people who live in God’s Kingdom, able to love, forgive and seek reconciliation without delay.</p>

<p>If we keep God's good gifts tethered to His purpose&nbsp;and moral boundaries under His rule, then we will be in harmony with Him in His kingdom and experience its riches.</p>

<p>Jesus shares God's intent for marriage and how&nbsp;man's hard heartedness will lead to its destruction that leads to divorce and the resources to restore what it has destroyed.</p>

<p>Our hearts, in relating to others, should be free of&nbsp;oaths because our use of oaths proves our unseen coercion to get our way and demand others give us what we selfishly want and have no moral weight.</p>

<p>A person with a kingdom heart of rightness will characteristically NOT resist the one who is evil (personally injured us)&nbsp;but wisely love them as Jesus would if He were us.</p>

<p>A Kingdom heart of goodness pursues first His perfection&nbsp;and all kingdom provisions pour out abundantly making us people who love and pray for our enemies.</p>

<p>God will reward our righteousness in action when the&nbsp;thoughts and intents of our desires are for His glory and the good of others.</p>

<p>Fasting is an action we choose that puts us in a position to align more fully with God's will and thereby experience His presence more fully in our lives.</p>

<p>Seeking security from the Kingdom produces lasting and eternal treasures.</p>
