By faith; Father, let your will be done by the kingdom set upon me, in the Spirit of Truth.
The kingdom is the eternal conscience, and the Word of God, is the Holy Authority of the kingdom. To be without the kingdom, is to be without the breath of life. All mankind draws from the kingdom since Adam. And since the return of the spirit of Elijah in the form of John the Baptist, the kingdom itself has been in conflict. I consider it growing pains. Violent people, by way of their perfect knowledge of the Law, used the cleansing of sin as a right to sin and be cleansed. In this consideration, the actions they took against others for selfish gain and to honor their moral judgement based on their knowledge of good and evil; misused the kingdom which deluded them, and misled others by their beliefs.

Matthew 11:12
12
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.

John 10:7-10
7
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:1
1
“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.”

What violence? This is very interesting and speaks to this very day of what happens when the fruit is beared from a vine that is not rooted in the truth.

Gospel of Thomas, saying 40
1
Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted apart from the Father.
2
Since it is not strong, it will be pulled up by its root and will perish."
Since it is not strong, it will be pulled up by its root and will perish."

None can or have ever known the will if the Father without seeking it through His Truth. Jesus is the true vine, and through believing in him, we have the Holy Spirit supply the good fruit through the kingdom. Meaning holiness is full and based in love, but when holiness is described through the knowledge of good and evil, it becomes a human conditional wisdom that is bias, full of division, and cost to one another. Like stoning to death someone who works on the Sabbath instead of bringing healing to the lame on a Sabbath. The claim of righteousness that is actually self righteousness and hypocritical. This is the bad fruit that is violence in the kingdom.
Why Jesus mentions the specifically the time of John the Baptist till the ascension, is it is a time of transition, where not only repent of sin was ministered, and prophesied, but where the ministry was offered by a man of self denial, and humble sincerity. John, unlike all before him, saw himself not as what was righteous but the message coming through him as what brought about righteousness. The difference is his message was did not bring judgement of others, instead it brought to each individual the responsibility of their own acts. And without hypocrisy, as he denied himself every comfort to supply this message.
The violence in the kingdom continues, as the message of truth has not been accepted by the Jewish or the Muslim communities. They continue to this day, to describe themselves and their chosen enemies by their own judgement. So from the very basis of love, they are bias, and do not honor the truth, but instead honor their knowledge of good and evil to define themselves and in doing so they misinterpret the will of God. This conflict is in every Christian home as well, as believers have not unlearned the Law, instead have attempted to combine the Law with what mediation the truth has supplied.

Matthew 10:34
34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and look, I'm guarding it until it blazes."

Oh strife! How do we know who is right by the kingdom!!!
Very truly I say to you, through faith, belief in the truth of our mediation who sent down our advocate. Now in this context, the advocate makes sense. The Holy Spirit is whom places on our hearts and minds, the holiness that honors the Father when we act on it. What comes from the kingdom that is placed upon us through the Holy Spirit, is founded on faith, and honors the Father by His Truth! Amen.
How do we discern what is holy from what is taken from the kingdom and based solely on man knowledge of good and evil?
Very truly I say to you, unless what is sought is sought recognizing what Jesus commanded of us, it comes from the kingdom, but does not honor the Father, nor is it holy. We discern by the fruit is bears: and the fruit is bears will fall under these commandments:
---
Matthew 22:37-40
37
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
---
See? Pray now for this understanding to be set upon you to honor your sincere faith in God.
If the fruit you gather from the kingdom, is based in love of the Father, or love of your neighbor as yourself, you know that your faith in the mediation of Christ through the Holy Spirit advocate has brought upon you fruit that is holy. If what you gather from the kingdom, is based in fear, hatred, morality, selfish desire, or simply your knowledge of good and evil, then you are serving only yourself. So know that; although the fruit conforms to the knowledge you carry of good and evil, it does not honor the Father through His Truth. The difference is eternal, and the difference is where there is violent people or peacemakers in the kingdom. Amen.
Allow the belief in the ascension of Christ Jesus, identify the Holy Spirit as your advocate in the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is the teacher, and the guide; placing the true fruit of the true vine upon your heart and mind. Serve by loving first in all conditions. And finally, when you witness what comes through you is holy, thank the Father for His Son.

By faith; Father, let your will be done by the kingdom set upon me, in the Spirit of Truth.
