The Kingdom of God Is Within You Jesus made this remarkable declaration to His disciples: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). This statement applies to Jesus’ followers today, as well. No matter what troubles or fears we may contend with in our lives, God has given us His kingdom, which shines powerfully into the darkness of our world, sweeping away sickness, sin, demons, lack, and even death. I invite you to enter into God’s kingdom of power so that you may see it demonstrated in the here and now! There is a striking image of the earth at night that was produced by NASA through combined satellite data. Each white dot of light in the image represents the light of an individual city or other light source, and the collective lights of various metropolitan regions show up as brilliant patches of illumination. Besides creating a beautiful picture, the manifestation of lights on satellite “maps” like this one communicate information about the lifestyle of people across the globe. They chart urbanization. They reveal nighttime electricity consumption. And they are sometimes used to indicate economic development and other social factors in various countries and regions. Researchers call this “luminosity data.” 1
