… for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17

One evening while praying, I asked the Holy Spirit to allow me to see into the kingdom of God within Him. He gave me a vision that allowed me to look in. I found myself standing beside a wall, looking through an open window into the kingdom of God on the other side of the wall.  As I looked through the window into the kingdom of God, I saw a large cross moving into view. This was not the cross of crucifixion, but a highly polished silver cross with intricate scrollwork engraved upon its face. The ugliness of the crucifixion was replaced with beauty. It was a cross of redemption. This cross was all there was within the expanse of the kingdom of God.

Years later, I dreamed about this cross. In the dream, I learned that we can grab hold of this cross by faith and that our faith can penetrate the wall of unbelief and natural reasoning that separates us from the accomplishments of the cross. I learned that Jesus honors and approves of us holding tight to this cross by faith and that as we do, the accomplishments of the cross are transferred to us. This especially included healing from God.

It is appropriate to see the cross when looking into the kingdom of God. The cross is where all things were accomplished for God’s children. The benefits of the cross are to be received by God’s children. Access to these benefits is found in the Holy Spirit. The accomplishments of the cross are found in the kingdom of God within Him.
