"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." - Matthew 11:11-12 NKJV
Take the kingdom by force means take it by spiritual assault - by the persistent assaults of living faith. Possess the kingdom; manifest the kingdom; impose the kingdom... ...by spiritual assault - by the persistent assaults of living faith!
“...And they who shall thus take the kingdom in spiritual power and by the persistent assaults of living faith will come from the north and the south and from the east and the west...” - Urantia Book 166:3.5
“Jesus continued to teach the twenty-four, saying: “...The heathen strike directly for their objectives; you are guilty of too much chronic yearning. If you desire to enter the kingdom, why do you not take it by spiritual assault even as the heathen take a city they lay siege to? ...Cease your useless yearning and go forth bravely doing that which concerns the establishment of the kingdom.” - Urantia Book 155:1.3
"...the necessity for using spiritual force for the purpose of breaking through all material resistance and for surmounting every earthly obstacle which might chance to stand in the way of grasping the all-important spiritual values of the new life in the spirit as the liberated sons of God." - Urantia Book 166:3.8

"Jesus has been building that living temple upon that same eternal foundation of his divine sonship, and those who thereby become self-conscious sons of God are the human stones which constitute this living temple of sonship erecting to the glory and honor of the wisdom and love of the eternal Father of spirits." 157:4.7 https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_157.html#157:4.7
