Yeshua
"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you."
Yeshua of Nazareth · Jesus the Christ
The teaching is interior, not institutional. The Father is not above; the Kingdom is not later. It is here, within, and is entered through metanoia — a turning of the mind — and the trust of a child.
The Inner Kingdom
Neither here nor there — the Kingdom of God is within you. It is found by stillness, given to the poor in spirit, opened by the eye made single.
Believing Prayer
Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. The tense of faith is past-perfect.
The Eye Made Single
If your eye is single, your whole body will be full of light. One vision, one intention — and the inner world brightens.
Love
By this all will know you are my disciples — that you love one another. The Law and the Prophets hang on this thread.
Forgive seventy times seven. Love your enemy. Pray in the inner room. Believe that you have already received, and you shall have it.
"The Kingdom of God is within you."
"Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
"Truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move."
"Be it done unto you as you have believed."
