"When our Lord spoke of the Kingdom of God He said, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus had just told His disciples where the Kingdom is and how the Kingdom does not come. Before you can ever see the Kingdom you have to know how it’s not coming — because the first thing we try to do is build it by the natural. The spirit of wisdom and understanding from God must deliver us from our confusion about how the Kingdom of God comes. It cannot be established by force. It cannot be established by law. It will never be established by any kind of political action. It is impossible for it to be established by the will, efforts, or programs of men or of governments."

Be careful, I think this document is New Age Christianity, and not Biblical Christianity at all. The great liars, the great deceivers. New Age Christianity is man-centered and man-created, and basically the same lie from Satan in the Garden of Eden. Pull out the Bible, read it for yourself, and find a good, sound-teaching Bible based church that teaches scripture. Please don't spend more time reading the writing of a MAN rather than the Holy Bible, the word of God.
J P Eby served God, and the Bible his whole life. He is not New Age. I do know both.
Been doing that since 83, how about you?

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 **For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: **13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
