Stepping Stones

The kingdom of God abides in the realm of spirit. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." Each chapter in this book is a stepping stone to open God's world to us. The book is not a roadmap, beginning in one place and ending in another. The realm of spirit is abstract. It does not conform to human logic. It must be seen by revelation from the Holy Spirit. Each stepping stone becomes one of the myriad gates through which God's kingdom opens to us.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city (Revelation 22:14).
