Each person would be expected to look within themselves first, to find that kingdom, or to know ourselves more fully.
Do we need to understand ourself first, in order to have a more positive life experience?

The kingdom is not in the sky nay the caves of the earth or deep within the sea. The Kingdom of God is within you and outside of you, all things that has life within it belongs to the Kingdom of God. Look up on the skys as it moves and gaze with awe as the creation of God is the Kingdom.
Pure joy and happines be unto you all!!!
In jesus name

Yes, Know yourself. I think that is very important. It was expected of me as a mental health therapist so that I could sort our my stuff from that of my client. The same is true for a person of any religion who is truly seeking God. To go deep within yourself to find the part where you are God are one, you first must wade through the parts of your mind were all sort of things reside. Old garbage, bias, misconceptions, etc. You can not start a journey without knowing both your destination and when you are at the moment. This is also part of the 12 step programs and something everyone can profit from. It is hard to be truthful with yourself about who and what you really have been. Even Jesus told us that we can see the speck in our brother's eye easier than the log in our own.

The Kingdom of God is a real government under a king, Christ Jesus, that will put all things on earth back the way they were before Adam and Eve first sinned. Daniel 2:44 says it will crush and put an end to all other kingdoms (governments) and it will rule from then on into forever, never giving way to any other governments. There is something to be said for continually examining oneself and bringing oneself into harmony with all of God's purposes as well.

Matthew 6:33 will give you the answer: BEFORE everything else.
Don't look within only, look to God first, and everything else will be taken care of. Looking within implies that you have all the answers and can handle everything yourself. Some things you need help for, and that's where God comes in. If you ask him for help, he can and will provide some awesome answes to your needs and requests. But going to God isn't like going to the
supermarket with a shopping list in hand!

the excellent fact it truly is equipped right here article, is the actual shown truth that the training of Jesus were only non secular, and the Church has made them of the flesh interior the style of the Pharisees. that is going to be a awaken call to all believers. It very a lot looks that their doctrines were condemned with techniques from Jesus, Peter and Paul. in this festive season of social gathering, Christians must be morning what the Church has performed to the non secular essence that makes a residing temple. yet regrettably, on the grounds that I heavily doubt that they have got the eyes to ensure, and the ears to take heed to, they are going to proceed to stroll the large-way of self destruction. Calling upon the call of the Lord with their lips, even as their existence style and pagan beliefs and worship bathroom down their route into the dominion. only Transcendent

The only worthwhile life experience is to be found in the will of Father God. We are to search for His will in our lives and do it. But first, we have to understand the absolute need to surrender our hearts to Our Father through Jesus Christ. This is seeking the kingdom of God first.

I believe in the Gospel according to Thomas the Gnostic (one of the Gospels that was eliminated by Emperor Constantine due to it's disdain for the concept of organized religion), Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is right here in front of you, and yet you cannot see it. (Excuse my paraphrasing, but you get the idea). I think he was trying to tell people that you should respect the world and people around you as if it were the Kingdom of God, and live your lives accordingly.

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all its righteousness and all these things will be added unto you....
I think its more so to not focus on yourself anymore but on God, and then YOU will be blessed.

No. You leave out a big chunk of what is being said there.
Jesus said: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God...AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS"
We need to understand God...and His Kingdom...and what **He** requires first.
Those answers are in Scripture, Tradition and Reason.
