I. INTRODUCTION

“For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us
into the Kingdom of his dear Son” Colossians 1:13 (NLT2)

That is what conversion is all about. Being delivered from the power of
darkness from our bondage in sin: that power of Satan that once held us. In
addition, translated into the kingdom of His dear Son.
We read so much in the scriptures of the kingdom of God, and so often, we
think of that as totally something future. For many people it is. However, for
you, it should be a present experience. You see, you become a part of that
kingdom the moment you bow your knee to Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him
as your King and your Lord. I am in the kingdom of God. I have yielded my life
as a loyal (faithful) subject and servant to that kingdom. He is my King;
therefore, I am in His kingdom. I have been delivered from the power of
darkness and translated into that kingdom.
