Living the Kingdom Now

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: Matthew 12:28, Luke 17:20–21

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

The Kingdom of God isn’t just future—it's now. Through Jesus’ miracles and presence, heaven touched earth. And He tells us the Kingdom is within us, too. That means every act of love, justice, and healing is a glimpse of God’s rule breaking into our world. When you love like Jesus, you become part of His Kingdom mission today—not just someday.


Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  
  1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
  2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Ask God to open your eyes to the ways He is moving around you and how you can join Him.
  3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Take Action:
  1. Do one intentional act of kindness that brings peace or healing today.
  2. Start a conversation with someone about what God is doing in your life.
