Heb 8:13
13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
(NKJ)
II Jn 1:7-11
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
(NKJ)
Good post.
The Spirit of the Kingdom is in us, not the Kingdom of God itself.
Jesus said the Kingdom was among them, not in.

1 Cor 13:11-12
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

John 16:7-12
7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 "of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 "of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11 "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

I Jn 4:1-2
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

1 Tim 1:9-10
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

"For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst." - Luke 17:21
At this point in Jesus' ministry, he was pointing out to the Pharisees that
"the Kingdom was in their presence". Jesus was telling them that, as Messiah,
the Kingdom was right there and then. Jesus was NOT telling the Pharisees
that the Kingdom was "within" THEM.
Luke 17:21 New King James Version (NKJV)
21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Luke 17:21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
The Savior said the kingdom of God was with them, or better, among them. The Lord could not have meant that the kingdom was actually inside the hearts of the Pharisees, because these hardened religious hypocrites had no room for Christ in their hearts as king. Believers Bible Commentary
I said
Well it would be hard for someone who doesn't know the Holy Spirit to understand. But the Holy Spirit will lead one into the kingdom of God inside themselves. It is a state of mind where one separates their inner man from their outer person. And goes to war against all the unclean spirits in them and purges their mind of carnality.

The spirit of the kingdom is within us yes. But we pray every day for God's kingdom to come. And seeing that the holy spirit belongs to Gods kingdom and he's within our hearts, then yes Gods kingdom is within us.
I believe that there are many ministering spirits, who guide us every day, these all belong to the kingdom of God and minister to the hearts of all those who truly belong to God. So I do believe that Gods kingdom is within us.

Matt 13:16-17
16 "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;
17 "for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
(NKJ)
I entered the kingdom of God about 35 years ago. I just came out in the past 5 years. Its a gradual process. But I know now I cant get back in. So I have to live with what I didn't get accomplished while I was in there.
It all fits with the stories of the old testament where God sent the children into a land to kill every living thing. But the Israelites kept some people and animals alive. God told them they will be a thorn in your flesh.

I can tell you this. That no one will be able to enter the kingdom of God before they know certain things.
Like nothing in us is from us.
2 Cor 3:4-5
4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
