What is the Kingdom of God?
Romans 14:17 KJV
For the Kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The Bible gives us the definition of what the Kingdom of God really is.
It is simply this:
The Kingdom of God is the righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost!.
[Strong's Definition:
Righteousness: equity (of character or act); specifically (Christian) justification.
Peace:- by implication prosperity:
- one peace quietness rest + set at one again.
Joy:- cheerfulness that is calm delight.]
Yes, the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Ghost!
Where is it located?
Luke 17:21 KJV
The Kingdom of God is within you.
Having received the gift of the Holy Spirit as promised by the Father through the baptism with the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ,
the Spirit of God dwells within us, our body being His temple.
The Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit and indeed is within us.
Now, with this revelatory key that the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit, we can now comprehend every parables and references made to the Kingdom of God in the New Testament.

Let us take a look at an example of such an application:
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
Matthew 6:31-33 KJV
Therefore take no thought, saying,
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
[32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
[33] But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Here we can paraphrase the verse as:
Seek ye first in the Holy Spirit who is within you and His righteousness and all these worldly and material things that you need shall be added unto you.
We are told in order to be provided with our needs,
we are to take no thoughts (do not worry) about these needs nor seek them in the world but counterintuitively, we are to seek the 1) Righteousness and 2) Peace and 3) Joy in the Holy Spirit and then we will be provided.
1) Seek Righteousness in the Holy Spirit
Romans 1:17 KJV
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
To seek the righteousness of God in the Holy Spirit is to abide in Jesus and live by faith,
which is to observe and do all that He commanded us.
Jesus is the Way.
2) Seek Peace in the Holy Spirit
Luke 1:79 KJV
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
John 8:31-32 KJV
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
[32] And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
To seek the peace of God in the Holy Spirit is to be guided by the light to continue (abide) in the Word of God to be free in the truth.
Jesus is the Truth.
3) Seek Joy in the Holy Spirit
John 16:23-24 KJV
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
[24] Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name:
ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Acts 2:28 KJV
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
To seek the joy of God in the Holy Spirit is to ask the Father in the Name of Jesus for all of our needs in this earthly life in the presence of the Holy Spirit. That is the way of life of faith in God that we should live by.
Jesus is the Life.
