现在我们能领会，国度是怎样来临的。主耶稣将祂自己当作种子撒在我们里面，把我们作成祂生长的地。祂在我们里面一步又一步，一点过一点的长大。祂非常有耐心，祂要逐渐的占有我们全人。至终，主耶稣要完全接管我们。祂要占有我们的心思、情感、意志、以及我们全人内里的每一部分。这样，祂就要在我们里面作王掌权，国度就要完全且完整的来临。国度的来临不是突然的改变，乃是基督作生命在我们里面生长的事。然而，严格来说，这不是个人的事；我们必须与别的基督徒一同长大。
许多基督徒已经陷在各种宗教事物的陷阱里。你必须把这一切摆在一边，回转到你的灵里，认识基督是在你的灵里。你真正的需要乃是基督在你里面扩展。虽然仪式也许会帮助人，至终却是拦阻；基本教义也会帮助人，但至终这些也阻碍人，使人无法成就神永远的定旨。灵恩的经历也是一样。虽然许多基督徒受到灵恩经历的帮助，至终他们被那些帮助他们的事物所拦阻。今天我们基本的需要，乃是认识亲爱的主耶稣在我们的灵里，且在我们里面生长并扩展。
我们需要祷告说，“主，怜悯我，赐我恩典，使我一直向你说阿们。主啊，求你在我里面长大，在我里面扩展，并且把我接管。主啊，愿你占有我全人的每一部分。”这乃是我们今天的需要。我们都已经从撒但的国迁到基督的国里。我们需要基督在我们里面扩展，并且得着所有的地位。这要带进国度完全的实现。

The Kingdom of God (2) – Matt. 6:13
Now we may understand how the kingdom comes. The Lord Jesus as a seed sows himself into us to make us the ground for his growth. He grows within us step by step and bit by bit. The Lord is very patient and will gradually occupy our whole being. Eventually, the Lord Jesus will fully take over us. He wants to take possession of our mind, emotion, will and every part of our being. By doing so, he will reign in us, and the kingdom will come fully and completely. The coming of the kingdom is not a sudden change, but the growth of Christ as life within us. Strictly speaking, this is not a personal matter, we must grow up with other Christians.
Many Christians have fallen into the trap of various religious matters. You must put aside all of these and turn to your spirit to know Christ is in your spirit. Your real need is the expansion of Christ in you. Although rituals may help people, in the end they may hinder men; basic doctrines may also help people, but in the end they also hinder men and prevent them from fulfilling God’s eternal purpose. The same goes for charismatic experiences. Many Christians are helped by these experiences, eventually they are hindered by the very things that helped them before. Our basic need today is to know that the dear Lord Jesus is in our spirit, he is now growing and expanding within us.
We need to pray by saying, “Lord, have mercy on me and give me the grace to keep saying Amen to you. Lord, please grow in me, expand in me and take over me. Lord, please take possession of every part of my being.” This is our real need today. We have all been transferred from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of Christ. We need Christ to expand within us and take all the positions. This will lead to the full realization of the kingdom.
