THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS THE GOVERNING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE HIS CHILDREN. 

For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? Hebrews 12:6-7
Therefore, laying aside all MALICE, all DECEIT, HYPOCRISY, ENVY, and all EVIL SPEAKING, as newborn babes, desire the PURE MILK of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. I Peter 2:1-3
