People have a
secret idea life will become too solemn, too great a strain; it will be too
difficult every moment of the day, from morning to evening, to have the
Kingdom of God first. One sees at once how wrong it is to think thus. The
presence of the love of God must every moment be our highest joy. Let us
say: "By the help of God, it shall ever be the Kingdom of God first."
And then, my last remark, in answer to that question, "How can it be?" is
this: it can be only by the power of the Holy Ghost. Let us remember that
God's Word comes to us with the language, "Be filled with the Spirit;" and
if you are content with less of the Spirit than God offers, not utterly
and entirely yielding to be filled with the Spirit, you do not obey the
command. But listen: God has made a wonderful provision. Jesus Christ came
preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and proclaimed "The Kingdom is at
hand." "Some," He said, "are standing here who will not see death until
they see the Kingdom come in power." He said to the disciples, "The Kingdom
is within you.
