God's Kingdom on Earth
What is almost impossible to comprehend this side of the Era of Peace is what God means by "Spiritual Kingdom". And that our generation has been chosen to live to see God's Spiritual Kingdom become an Earthly Reality in our day.
Let's talk about that.
It's all really simple, perhaps too simple for today. A time that is very much like when Jesus was on earth the first time... filled with those who do not really know their True God and the true children of Israel sadly often raised in laws that man had encrusted around the essence of the Ten Commandments. The Apostles and most of those who really loved Jesus could only see Him as an earthly ruler, until the Holy Spirit came after Pentecost. And that too has been promised to happen soon. A Divine Intervention that will usher in a second Pentecost.
But somehow, the Era of Peace will be such because it will be a time without sin. Not that we will all be angels, but whomever lives through the Chastisement will no longer choose to be in grave sin. This will ensure an Era of Peace.
Father tells us:
May 18, 1999:
....
Barbara: [I am sitting with our Father at the top of a mountain. There is a beautiful
valley below—and there is a sunset.]
Daughter:
When the sun sets, all this will be obscured from view. And yet it will still remain, untouched in its original state. When the sun rises, though, daughter, it will be transformed in the light of My divine love. It will look different than it does now—the same, yet different. Meditate on this, little one—in your heart. My peace I give you. Shalom

… Barbara. … Listen and be attentive. For soon I will manifest Myself in a way
that was unknown to My children before. Look to My Heavens and stand at
attention. Cock your ears and listen. My Voice bellows in the clouds. I AM with
My children, O Israel. And Mine shall not be lost—now and forever.
Take up your pen and write of Me, O Daughter. You are Mine. Whisper in My
Ear. Hear My Voice. Little one—there is none other than Me. Listen—
Write this down:
I AM the Tree of Life.
I AM all My Creation.
I AM in you, Barbara.
I AM everywhere—in everything that lives.
The Rhythm of My Will—Listen for the Rhythm of My Will.
God speaks to those that listen. Will you listen?
Where I AM, you are—you are Mine—My Love.
I AM LIFE!
[The Father paid too with the Crucifixion—He felt sorrow that things hadn’t gone right in the beginning. But He loved us because we were His children. And that bond can never be broken. But it had to be this way.
Only the healthy cells will survive. The nucleus (the Temple) must contain God to survive the Transformation. The core, the powerhouse, has to be God—Life!]

Living The Spiritual Kingdom Now...
...ultimately is an act of the Holy Spirit. Matthew Kelly was told by God our Father that ten minutes of Contemplation a day could give one more than if we had read something like, ten thousand books (the quotes in a vhs conference we have.) In other words, when we are silent before God in a state of grace, a powerful act occurs: infusion of salvific grace. This transforms us into God's likeness and image. And the more we turn to Him and offer our sufferings and ourselves, the more He transforms us. This is a great and simple place to start and extremely powerful and effective in the context of Consecration to the Father. Just sitting still and allowing God to act. Then too we learn to hear & recognize His voice when the waters of our soul is calmed... His reflection becomes clear in our true selves where He dwells. We also come to connect with our true selves by talking to Him in relationship with Him and Father tells us that that is where we find him. (more on this in the 3 Things Page under "Blocks to our free will".)
For one to exist within My Heart there must be a quieting of Spirit, a stillness, a clarity so that Truth may pass through unfiltered. (Feb 1, 2002)
When you have reached Me in the stillness of your heart, you have found a
great treasure. (July 30, 1999)
So it shall be in My time with My grace—all will come to know Me. Prepare for this great day. Know that I am with you in the stillness of your soul. (July 27, 1999)
Deep within the recesses of the soul is a quiet spot where only I can reside. All are born with it. Here you can and must meet Me so that I can draw you to Myself. Spend time with Me, daughter. For I am a good and loving Father. I give My own what they deserve truly from their only Father—My legacy—My Love. MY OWN DO NOT DEPART FROM ME.
Write: Inside all of you is a tabernacle designed by Me. It has been buried and medicated and covered with the distractions of the world. Uncover it, child. This secret place.
Say: I LOVE YOU, FATHER AND I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU!
In this way, they will find Me—in the Love they bear Me in their Hearts.
… You are My treasure. My true servant. Chin up, little one. Your service is good. Your love is better. Stay near Me in your quiet place. Daughter, I am in control of all. Give to Me as I am giving to you—responsibility, fidelity, and trust. Rest your family in My Heart and stay with Me. Sleep now. I am with you. Always— (Feb, 8, 1997)
You do not have to chatter noisily when you come to Me. It’s as if you fear the silence. Rest in me, daughter. Rest. In quiet and My Peace—rest. Repose in My Presence. Let Me lead you. Let go. (June 17, 1998)
Of course, there are the Sacraments etc. but the relationship with Father is the goal to all of these tools, they are tools which bring us to The Goal: true & intimate relationship with and in God our Father, through Jesus Christ in Mary. (Even the Holy Eucharist being both the Means & the Goal, the Body & Blood of Our Lord's Power is contingent on our relationship with Him and receptivity to the Sanctifying Power of the Eucharistic Jesus, which can then transform us). Father reminds us that Jesus Himself came to bring us to the Father... that although He is God & in God, the Father is greater than even Him, and it is to Him that we must come, through the Second Person of the Trinity, the Holy Lamb of God, Jesus His Son.
This is the essence of the Spiritual Kingdom. Living IN & WITH Father. Moment to moment, day by day. "Each moment is love lived, and a collection of moments produces a life of Love." (April 2, 2000). Life is Love lived. Father tells us that we, His little consecrated children are now learning this New Way of life lived in and with our Father and that by doing so, we bring the Kingdom of God on Earth, because we have come home, we are pathfinders, lights that light up the way for others and this will guide them down the same path. But that we must know it first, or we will not only be able to not live it, but not teach it or give it since one cannot give what they don't have or know themselves and no one will be able to see it lived by us. Also, that the external kingdom will follow the interior one. That first, we must possess the internal knowledge and reality of God's Kingdom within us and only then, can we do acts that represent or reflect the Kingdom within us, only then will earthly material things reflect what must come from within. I think, most people are not quite ready for this, but not to worry, Father is going to arrange it Himself and soon. That is His Promise and He says we have much to hope in, look forward to, that our lives and the lives of others will be very different soon, transformed by the Holy Spirit, that God's Kingdom is about to descend on Earth through us and that Heaven and Earth, the 2 realities are about to collide! Isn't that neat-o.
