There is a progression that brings you to being able to possess the kingdom.

• The same progression applies to possessing anything.
• Here is a further explanation of some of the steps.

1. You see revelation. 
2. You receive it. 

• This is not possessing it yet.
• It is an acknowledgment of it for what it really is.
• Receiving Jesus in Biblical terms is welcoming Him into your home.
• And acknowledging that He is who He says that He is.
• Receiving means to believe what you have seen with the eyes of your faith.

     3. You seek to enter into it.

• This seeking to enter into is by exercise of your faith.
• You keep seeking until you do enter.

     4. You enter it. 

• Think of this as coming to dwell in it.
• As in a triumphal entry into a heavenly city followed by crowning and living there now.
• Enter as in “enter into marriage”.
• Followed by the union of marriage.
• Entering implies becoming one with it.
• It becomes a part of you.
• Entering into is actually a conception.

     5. You inherit it.

• This means that you have been given legal right to it.
• This comes as a knowing that what you have been believing for is now yours.
• Some period of time will pass between entering and inheriting.

   6. You actively take it into your possession at a destined time.

• After inheriting you wait to the destined time to possess.
• Possessing may or may not involve evicting someone else who has been dwelling there.
• They no longer have legal right.
• Now you can move in.
• This is not the same moving in as entering.
• Entering is by faith into something that has not yet manifested.
• Possessing is moving into something causing it to manifest.
• Possessing is actually another birth.
• Possessing is a birth of manifestation.

7. Full. 

• Be filled with.
• “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
• Every since entering in He has been filling you.
• And you are being filled with Him.
• Until you are full.

A period of time passes between some steps in the progression.

• You can receive as soon as you see.
• Seeking to enter takes time.
• You can possess only after waiting.
• It takes time to be filled up until you are full.

Here is the full progression to possessing the Kingdom.

• It begins with the new birth.
• Now you can see the Kingdom.
• Receive the Kingdom as a little child.
• Seek to enter into the Kingdom.
• Enter into the Kingdom.  This happens when you enter into New Jerusalem.
• Inherit the Kingdom.  This is only possible after first overcoming as a King.
• Possess the Kingdom.
• Become Full with the Kingdom.
