Jesus said the kingdom of God is within us, and this is also my experience. The place where God sets up his Kingdom first is in our hearts, in those who become his people or 'subjects'. Jesus must be Lord of our lives, this is accomplished by the Holy spirit.
When you are born again the holy spirit opens the eyes of your soul to the reality of the kingdom of God,as Jesus said 'unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God', where Christ holds sway, in the souls of his people, there is His kingdom.
Paul said the kingdom of God is righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. I can testify that when God sets up his kingdom in your heart you feel such joy, peace and righteousness that you never thought existed or imagined before. It is known as the joy of the Lord, it makes you recognise the reason why there are old hyms entitled "The Comforter has Come".
Friend when you are in the kingdom that means somethings are out, like sin.You can't be in two kingdoms.Gods power destroys the works of satan in your life and you also know what freedom means whereas before you didn't know you were a slave.It takes away fear, you have the fruit of the spirit and peace that surpasses understanding, it is spiritual.Nothing in the world can touch it, it is better than wine it is better than women, I'm telling you the truth. In fact those joys cannot be compared, anything you experience sensually is dry and like nothing compared to this inner comfort, you feel that you are a child of god, God is with you, and you have a constant recognition or sweet conciousness that you are a child of God, that no arts of reasoning can give or take away.

That is like walking in the spirit, a higher realm,
Holiness, righteousness, peace, joy, in the Holy Ghost,
Reading the word and seeing things you never dreamed was there
Seeing things, like clouds, angels, smelling roses and you know they are not there
If you can attain to a new level, you can walk into this realm and you will know you are walking with God and talking to him, His love is the most awesome feeling you will ever experience
