Five minutes of prayer may have measurable health benefits, a new study shows.

Researchers found that primary care patients who received a brief, one-on-one prayer reported greater reductions in pain and anxiety than those who listened to music.

THE MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM.

"Fundamental to NT truth is that the kingdom of God is the spiritual reality and dynamic available to each person who receives Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. To receive Him - the King - is to receive His kingly rule, not only in your life and over your affairs, but through your life and by your service of love. 'The Kingdom of God is within you," Jesus said. . . . However, full salvation brings restored relationship to God and a full potential for His kingdom's ruling "within us" as we walk with Him. Jesus has sent His Holy Spirit to cause the anointing of the messiahship to be transmitted to us: Isaiah 61:1-3, Luke 4:18; John 1:16, 1 John 2:20, 27; 4:17.

So it is on these terms only, that a human being can say, "The Kingdom of God is within me.""

----Jack W. Hayford from the Spirit Filled Life Bible

DID YOU KNOW THAT CERTAIN VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE STATE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US (vs. "among us" or "in the midst of us")?

HERE ARE THE TRANSLATIONS THAT READ THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US:

American Standard Version: '"..The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the Kingdom of God is within you."

Geneva Bible: "The Kingdome of God commeth not with observation. Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you."

KJV: "...The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

NKJV: "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, 'The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, "See here!" or "See there!". For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."

New Messianic Version (NMV): "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God - the Father is within you."

**With the exception of the NMV, the above older versions of the Bible say that the Kingdom of God is WITHIN us. **

Question: What happened to this above passage in translation that now state that the the Kingdom of God is "among us" or "in your midst", which implicates that He and His Kingdom are outside of a believer or group of believers? (ex. CSB, NKJV, NASB20, AMP, ESV, LEB, NIV)

As we are in Christ and therefore per Paul we have been made complete, will it not follow that this completeness is the Kingdom of God in Christ within us?

"...in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE, and He is the head over every ruler and authority..." --Colossians 2: 9, NASB20

LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.

ONE MINUTE PRAYER FOR TRUMP AND HIS CABINET TODAY

**Join countless others who are praying at 9:00 PM EST, 8:00 PM CST, and 7:00 PM PST**

**Listen to a short video devotional BELOW for today that provides context**

Father God, we pray for the continued protection of America and her leaders. And given the very real threats, we pray especially for the protection of President Trump and his administration. Please move through the Secret Service, our intelligence, and law enforcement communities to expose all plots against their lives. Release Your angels to have charge over them, to watch over, protect, and defend against all the schemes of darkness. According to Isaiah 28:18, we plead the blood of Jesus against all demonic powers set against President Trump and his administration. Shut the gates of sabotage!
And Father God, on the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration, we commit to You the year to come. Please make Yourself known to President Trump in unmistakable ways. Show him Your love. Impart to him grace to stand even more effectively as a true father for the nation. And if he moves in any direction You deem detrimental, grant him wisdom to realign with Your heart and priorities. And Father, on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, we ask You to take the lead! Move again with a freedom movement for America, and for the nations of the earth. Help us to be minutemen for this movement - move upon many to participate in the nightly minute of prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen
