I think you are confusing the Kingdom of Heaven which is a physical place with the Kingdom of God which is a spiritual experience.Plenty...
Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. NIV
We have it all- NOW! Notice the tense!
Luke 11:17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. NIV
Here we have it handed to us!
Colossians 1:13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. NIV
Again, notice the tense of "brought". We are in the Kingdom of heaven. If heaven is communion with God, then I have it RIGHT NOW.
Heaven is a physical place which is not here on earth.
