Matt 13:11-12 [NASB]
And He answered and said to them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven… "For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance…
After being friends for weeks, Ben and Daniel continued to meet in school, and they really enjoyed each other's company. Ben knew Daniel was the son of the king, but this did not affect their friendship. Daniel's humility was one of the things Ben admired about him. A time came that Daniel started to see Ben as not just a friend but as a brother. At that point, Daniel insisted that Ben came to visit his home and experience the palace as his royal guest. This meant that Ben was going to be treated as a prince in the kingdom from that day forth.
There is a level of intimacy you will have with the Lord that He would introduce you to His realm. Even though you have experienced God's reality and person through the Holy Spirit, He would lead you to further experience His realm of operation, not only His person.
We are made to understand that heaven is God's throne. When we become part of the realities of 'The Kingdom of Heaven', we become part of the activities of God's throne. This is what the kingdom of heaven means.
It is understandable why most people think 'the kingdom of God' and 'The Kingdom of Heaven' mean the same thing. But note that Matthew took care to single out 'The kingdom of Heaven' in most cases, even though he also mentioned ' The kingdom of God' at certain instances (see Mat 6:33, 12:28, 19:23-24). We too should be conscious of these two Coalescing realities.
Go into today asking the Holy Spirit to teach you to be more and more intimate with Him.
