Saying 3

Jesus said,

"If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you. "

Comments:

The Kingdom of God is in you. But if you do not know, it is another Kingdom which is in you: that of the poverty, the true beggary. Of course, the Kingdom of God cannot be contained in you, but it is in you; there are you, if you are subject of this Kingdom. Really, it is not a place. 
It is a state.
 You are the one or other one of the Kingdoms. That of the God or that of the Gehenna. To be a citizen of this Kingdom of God, it is necessary to have at first access to the Knowledge. We enter this Kingdom by the faith; but the true faith can be born only on the ground of the Knowledge of God. 
When I say: the Knowledge of God, I say: the Knowledge of Whom He is, of what he said, and makes. The true faith comes from what God declares in The Sacred Texts, in The Bible. If you have no ears to understand these Things, you cannot know yourself, because only God knows whom you are really. You are what God says whom you are in Holy Scriptures. 
If you cannot admit it you are a true poor man; and more than it: you are the embodied poverty. The true Gospel, it is because Jesus Christ is a God come in this world so that you can have a true relation with God, the One who performs quite there everything. The repentance is not a negative matter. It is what produces the revelation of Whom is God.
Suddenly, by teaching Who is a God by the Holy Scriptures, you are conscious of your wandering, of your errors, in brief... your sins.
The repentance it is this position of humility that you have in front of God.
 " O God! Without You I am nothing, I can make nothing who can be pleasant to you, come to my help! " You are conscious of your state of weakness and of impurity. You speak about it to God in all honesty and He you restored then in the true position which has to be yours: child's position of God.
It does not mean that just like that of magic wand you become a perfect person! No! It means that with God's eyes you are in the position of " On the march! " It is only from the awareness of whom you are and of whom God wants that you are that you can start up towards the perfection.
The Kingdom is in you. It also means that your research must be personal. No religion can, or has the right to interfere in your collection. The religions can just help you to suspect the way, nothing more. 
Always keep for the thought that when God shows himself to you, it is never by accusing or by frightening. He wants a relation of Love for a life of the Love with you. The fear is contrary to the Love. The religions, most of the time use the fear of the hell to catch people and to quench them. God is not  as it! Always keep it in your thought and you will never be a victim of a sect.
