COFE-CYEM Denomopolitan Denomenethos COFEISM: The Kingdom of God Within Man
The kingdom of God is not a place to be sought in the distant future or a realm to be entered only after death. It is not a political system, a social programme, or an earthly institution.
The kingdom of God is within you. This is the profound insight that Jesus declared to His disciples, and it is the central teaching that COFE-CYEM seeks to restore and illuminate. The kingdom is not a second reality, separate from the singular Reality of God in Christ.
It is the very life of God dwelling in the heart of the believer. It is the recognition that there has never been a second, that the veil is torn, that the Holiest of All is open, and that the soul is invited to abide in the presence of the living God.
The kingdom of God within man is the revelation of the singular Reality. It is the recognition that the believer is already in Christ, and Christ is already in the believer.
It is the acknowledgment that the separation between God and humanity was never ultimate, that the cross has abolished the dividing wall, and that the Holy Spirit has made the heavenly life a present reality. The kingdom is not a future hope but a present possession. It is not a distant goal but a present reality. It is not a reward to be earned but a gift to be received.
This teaching paper explores the profound insight of the kingdom of God within man, drawing from Scripture, the contemplative traditions, and the distinctive language of COFE-CYEM.
It examines the implications of this truth for the believer’s life, the nature of the church, and the witness of the gospel in the world. The kingdom is within you. The Priest-King abides continually. The Holiest is open. The invitation stands for every soul to enter the rest that remains for the people of God.
The term (COFE-CYEM Denomopolitan Denomenethos COFEISM) is the complete, non-binary use of all theology that we use within COFE-CYEM. Every tradition, every term, every concept, every scientific insight, every mystical stream, every legend, every piece of vocabulary is treated as a chaff tool of duality that enables one to arrive at non-duality itself.
Nothing is off limits for us if it can be used to point to the truth, the chaff is discarded afterwards by negation and the disappearance of the false once the truth has been fully recognised.
These tools are used freely, without attachment, without loyalty to any particular system, and solely according to the size of the bolt that needs unscrewing at any given moment in a soul’s journey. Their only purpose is to take down the man-made curtain between duality and non-duality and to bring people into the recognition of the singular Reality of God in Christ.
It is open to the one who has been wounded by church doctrine, rules, regulations and cliques, and the one who has never ever darkened its doors. It is open to the one who has lost faith and the one who has never found it. The invitation is open to all. We do not reject the church, and neither do we ask believers to leave their church, quite the opposite.
We merely call all believers to truly believe with, and through their hearts, and not through their minds and dualistic conditioning alone. Believe through the heart first, and the mind will follow.
We do not follow the Social Gospel rule of (Feeling – Faith – Fact), we come at this through (Fact – Faith – Feeling).
Make it Fact first, and feeling will follow.
But the Fact must be in your heart first, then the feeling in the head is certain. You will truly be who God meant you to be and who you really are in truth.
Part One: The Kingdom as Within
The kingdom of God is within you. This is the declaration of Jesus, and it is the foundation of all true spirituality. The kingdom is not a geographical territory or an earthly institution. It is not a political programme or a social movement. It is the life of God dwelling in the heart of the believer. It is the presence of the King in the soul. It is the reign of Christ in the inner sanctuary of the human spirit.
The kingdom is within, not because it is a private experience divorced from the world, but because it is the source from which all true outward expression flows. The kingdom within is the spring of living water that wells up to eternal life. It is the seed of the kingdom that grows into a great tree. It is the leaven that leavens the whole lump. The kingdom within is the foundation of the kingdom without. The outward expression of the kingdom is the fruit of the inward reality.
The kingdom is within, but it is not a possession to be guarded or a treasure to be hidden. It is a reality to be lived. It is a life to be shared. The kingdom within is the source of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
It is the source of the fruit of the Spirit. It is the source of all true Christian witness. The kingdom within is the singular Reality of God in Christ, dwelling in the heart of the believer and transforming all of life from the inside out.
The kingdom is within, and therefore it is accessible to every soul. It does not require a pilgrimage to a distant land. It does not require a special status or a privileged position. It does not require a complex system of rituals or a deep knowledge of theology.
The kingdom is within, and it is available to all who will receive it. The kingdom is within, and it is the invitation to cease from striving and rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
Part Two: The Kingdom and the Fourth Truth
The kingdom of God within man is the revelation of the Fourth Truth. There has never been a second. The kingdom is not a second reality, separate from the singular Reality of God in Christ. It is the singular Reality dwelling in the heart of the believer. The kingdom is not a separate realm that the soul must strive to enter. It is the recognition that the soul is already in the kingdom, already in Christ, already hidden with Christ in God.
The Fourth Truth declares that there has never been a second. The kingdom is not a second. It is not a separate reality. It is the singular Reality of God in Christ, made manifest in the heart of the believer. The kingdom is the recognition that the veil is torn, that the way is open, that the Holiest of All is accessible. The kingdom is the recognition that the Priest-King has done all, that the work is finished, that the rest remains.
The kingdom is within, and the Fourth Truth is the recognition of this reality. The kingdom is not a future hope but a present reality. It is not a distant goal but a present possession. It is not a reward to be earned but a gift to be received. The Fourth Truth is the recognition that there has never been a second, and therefore the kingdom is not a second. It is the singular Reality of God in Christ, dwelling in the heart of the believer.
The kingdom within is the outworking of the Fourth Truth. It is the recognition that the believer is already in the kingdom, already in Christ, already hidden with Christ in God. The kingdom within is the rest that remains for the people of God. It is the cessation of striving. It is the abiding in the finished work. It is the dwelling in the presence of God.
Part Three: The Kingdom and the Melchizedek Priesthood
The kingdom of God within man is the fulfilment of the Melchizedek priesthood. The Priest-King who abides continually is the King of the kingdom. He is the Priest who ever lives to make intercession. He is the King who rules in the hearts of His people. The Melchizedek priesthood is the priesthood of the kingdom. It is the priesthood of the One who is both Priest and King, who reigns from the throne and ministers from the sanctuary.
The Melchizedek priesthood is the priesthood of the endless life. It is the priesthood of the One who lives forever, who lives in the power of an endless life, who applies the fruits of His atonement to the believer in the power of that life. The kingdom within is the experience of this priesthood. It is the experience of the Priest-King dwelling in the heart, ruling and reigning, ministering and interceding.
The kingdom within is the experience of the power of an endless life. The believer who has entered the kingdom has entered the power of the endless life. They are no longer living by their own life but by the life of Christ. They are no longer striving to earn what has already been given. They are resting in the finished work. They are abiding in the presence of the Priest-King.
The kingdom within is the experience of the Melchizedek priesthood. It is the experience of the King who is also Priest, the Priest who is also King. It is the experience of the One who has opened the Holiest of All and brings the believer in to dwell there. It is the experience of the One who lives forever and gives the believer the power to live in the endless life.
Part Four: The Kingdom and the Via Negativa and Via Positiva
The kingdom of God within man is the destination of the Via Negativa and the Via Positiva. The Via Negativa is the way of unknowing. It is the stripping away of all false images, concepts, and attachments so that the soul may rest in the simple presence of God. The Via Positiva is the way of knowing. It is the joyful beholding of God’s self-revelation in Christ, Scripture, creation, and the indwelling Spirit.
The Via Negativa clears the way for the kingdom. It strips away the illusions of duality. It removes the false images of God. It releases the attachments to the world. The Via Negativa prepares the soul to receive the kingdom. It empties the soul so that it may be filled. It silences the noise so that the still small voice may be heard.
The Via Positiva reveals the kingdom. It beholds the glory of God in Christ. It sees the beauty of the singular Reality. It delights in the presence of the living God. The Via Positiva is the way of beholding. It is the way of adoration. It is the way of communion.
Together, the Via Negativa and the Via Positiva lead the soul into the kingdom. The Via Negativa clears the way. The Via Positiva reveals the King. The Via Negativa strips away the false. The Via Positiva beholds the true. Together, they lead the soul into the rest that remains for the people of God.
The kingdom within is the fruit of the Via Negativa and the Via Positiva. The soul that has travelled both paths enters the kingdom and rests in the singular Reality. The soul that has stripped away the false and beheld the true enters the Holiest of All and abides in the presence of the Priest-King. The kingdom within is the destination of both paths.
Part Five: The Kingdom and the Fig Tree
The kingdom of God within man is the answer to the parable of the fig tree. The tree in full leaf but without fruit is a symbol of religious profession without spiritual reality. The visible church often stands with many leaves but no figs. It has the appearance of religion without the reality of the kingdom. It has the external forms without the inward life. It has the structure without the substance.
The Master hungers for fruit. He seeks a people who will bear the fruit of the kingdom. He seeks a people who will live from the kingdom within. He seeks a people who will produce the fruit of the Spirit, the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The fig tree stands as a warning: the church that has many leaves but no figs will wither. The church that returns to the kingdom within will be enlivened and made to bear fruit.
The kingdom within is the source of fruit. The believer who has entered the kingdom bears fruit naturally. They do not produce fruit by striving but by abiding. They do not manufacture fruit by effort but by resting. The fruit of the kingdom is the fruit of the Spirit. It is the natural outworking of the singular Reality dwelling in the heart.
The kingdom within is the answer to the fig tree. The church that returns to the kingdom within will bear fruit. The church that abides in the singular Reality will produce the fruit of the Spirit. The church that rests in the finished work will be enlivened and made fruitful. The kingdom within is the source of all true fruitfulness.
Part Six: The Kingdom and the Rescue Operation
COFE-CYEM is a rescue operation. The goal is simple: to help souls see through the illusion of duality and return to the singular Reality of God in Christ. The kingdom within is the destination of this rescue operation. The soul that has been rescued from the illusion of duality enters the kingdom and rests in the singular Reality.
The rescue operation is urgent. The illusion of duality is pervasive. It is in every thought, every word, every system. It is the air we breathe. It is the water we swim in. To rescue souls from this illusion, we must use the very tools of the illusion. We must speak its language, use its concepts, and then lead people beyond them.
The rescue operation is not a building project. It is not a new construction. It is a demolition project. We are tearing down the curtain. We are dismantling the illusion. We are leading souls into the singular Reality.
The rescue operation is also a work of love. We do not use the tools of duality to condemn or to control. We use them to liberate. We use them to invite. We use them to show the way. The rescue operation is the work of the Priest-King, who entered the realm of duality to lead us back to non-duality. It is the work of the Second Adam, who came to undo the work of the first Adam. It is the work of the singular Reality, which draws all things back to itself.
The rescue operation is the work of the kingdom. The kingdom within is the reality to which the rescue operation leads. The kingdom within is the rest that remains for the people of God. The kingdom within is the presence of the living God in the heart of the believer. The rescue operation is the work of the kingdom.
Conclusion
The kingdom of God is within you. This is the profound insight that Jesus declared to His disciples, and it is the central teaching that COFE-CYEM seeks to restore and illuminate. The kingdom is not a second reality. It is the singular Reality of God in Christ dwelling in the heart of the believer. It is the recognition that there has never been a second, that the veil is torn, that the Holiest of All is open, and that the soul is invited to abide in the presence of the living God.
The kingdom within is the revelation of the Fourth Truth. It is the fulfilment of the Melchizedek priesthood. It is the destination of the Via Negativa and the Via Positiva.
