God’s Kingdom is upside down and inside out,” Gabriel said…
““God’s Kingdom is upside down and inside out,” Gabriel said quite seriously. “Worldly values and ways are generally the opposite of God’s ways. Since the devil is the god of this age,(70) that’s to be expected. God’s Kingdom is within us,(71) so we need to think and act from the inside out. We are spirit, soul and body, not body, soul and spirit. Instead of gratifying the flesh, protecting the ego or seeking materialistic goals, we need to make our mind, emotions and will conform to the things of the spirit, the ways of God.”(72)””
