-
Fun to be in church. Amen, thank you. I want to talk
-
for a few minutes about the power of our proclamation with regard to who Jesus
-
is and just how amazing you know, we know, we know he came
-
to start a kingdom, but there's so many believers worldwide who are waiting for
-
the kingdom to start, and they're anticipating the coming of his kingdom in power,
-
maybe not realizing that his kingdom has come in power. But the problem
-
is the way we see him is the way we receive him, and the
-
way we speak of him is the way that we taste of him, and
-
the way that we proclaim him is the way that he proclaims us before the
-
Father. And I even want to submit to you that the growing kingdom that
-
has been transpiring, like the kingdom has been growing like crazy and in golfing
-
the entire planet for you know, these hundreds of years. But I want
-
to submit to you that the growth of the kingdom, which was the fulfillment
-
of verse somebody just quoted, was it? Was it? The kiddos maybe
-
Isaiah nine, right? It was the fulfillment this growing kingdom that we've seen
-
and that the nations looked to and the growing kingdom of the king that's been
-
shifting. Everything has been somewhat the result of the fulfillment of all these scriptures.
-
I took a picture of a couple that I didn't put on the slides
-
because I just wanted to read a couple that were coming to my mind.
-
You know, I talk about this one a lot. Ken, Can you
-
bring me up a little bit in the volume realm, so if I get
-
excited, I won't scream. Isaiah chapter nine, verse expo to us,
-
a child is born, to us, a son is given, and the
-
government will be on his shoulders. This is not speaking of Biden or Trump,
-
though the trump did sound. This is speaking of the Christ, and
-
the government will be upon his shoulders, and he will be called wonderful counselor
-
Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Hello, Prince of Peace, of
-
the greatness of his government and peace, or of the increase is a better
-
translation. I don't know what that was, of the increase of his government
-
of peace. There shall be no end. He will reign on David's thrown
-
over his kingdom, establishing it and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that
-
time on forever from that time on, not from the Second Coming, but
-
from the first Coming. Say that one with me, not from the second
-
Coming, but from the First Coming. But this is so, you know,
-
I feel like the Lord wants me to talk today a little bit about
-
his dominion further, just a little bit more. And part of that is
-
because I believe Holy Spirit is trying to convince us to agree with him.
-
And the increase of his government of peace has been increasing because on the planet
-
there's been a bunch of Christians that have agreed with the increase of his government
-
of peace. But of late in the last one hundred years or so,
-
there were doctrines that were coming into the church that have shifted the church's focus,
-
and we've begun to see the increase of the enemy's kingdom instead of the
-
increase of the Lord's kingdom. We began to anticipate the increase of the enemy's
-
kingdom instead of the increase of the Lord's kingdom. We begin to wrongfully interpret
-
passages like Matthew twenty four and their passages. And this is not I can't
-
get into all of that today, but I just I want you to hear
-
me out a little bit today that no matter what your eschatology is, and
-
eschatology means the theological doctrine of your end time thinking, no matter what it
-
is, it's always better to see the Kingdom of His Christ increasing than the
-
Kingdom of His Christ decreasing, because the way you see him is the way
-
you receive him. The way you talk about him is the way you taste
-
of him. The way you proclaim him is the way that He proclaims you.
-
Matthew ten thirty two, whoever therefore confesses me before men, I will
-
also confess before the Father who is in heaven. Now that's an interesting passage
-
because what it means there, confess is actually you've heard me talk about it
-
a lot. Here. Confess is actually two Greek words put together. And
-
the first Greek word is homo, from which we get homo and I'm being
-
really simple right now. And the second word is logos, and so we
-
even get homogene milk from right, and it means same. And so logos
-
means word, and it means to say the same word that God says to
-
whoever confesses me. The Christ is saying Matthew ten thirty two, whoever speaks
-
of me before men, the way I spoke of myself and the way Father
-
speaks of me, he who has a same word. If you have the
-
same word before men that I have before Father, then that word will be
-
confessed before Father. So whatever you say about him is what Jesus says that
-
you're saying to the Father about him, And whatever you are saying about him
-
is what he says to the Father that you're saying, and then that's what
-
you inherit. You notice there's not a lot of healing and churches that don't
-
believe in it. There's a lot of saved people in churches who don't believe
-
in healing. But if they aren't confessing before men healing, then Jesus isn't
-
confessing before the Father that they are ready for the distribution of healing. So
-
we don't get just what he is giving. We get what we believe he's
-
giving. Did you hear that? We don't, necessarily cart Blanc get what
-
God is distributing through the overcoming victory of Jesus. We get what we believe
-
he's distributing. And if we don't believe he's not, just if we believe
-
he's not distributing certain things he loves us anyway, but he doesn't distribute those
-
things seventeen forty one. Seventeen forty one handles Messiah. Now, last week
-
I read Joy to the World to you, and we struggled because one of
-
the best verses of Joy to the World, no more let thorns or thistles
-
grow, you know that kind of a you know, I couldn't find it.
-
I pulled it up, and lo and behold. The first website that
-
I went to. As I stood here at the platform, went on my
-
phone excluded that verse. Can you believe it? So I'm like, okay,
-
there's something wrong with this song. Who messed up on this one?
-
This is this is verse three of Joy to the World. No more let
-
sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make
-
his blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is
-
found, Far as the curse is found. It was written a long time
-
ago somebody was agreeing with the dominion of Jesus. Somebody was coming into agreement
-
with the dominion of Jesus, and they thought, if we could get everybody
-
to sing about this, then somehow they would come into agreement with the dominion
-
of Jesus. And if we would come into agreement with the dominion of Jesus,
-
then we could begin the taste of the dominion of Jesus. Seventeen forty
-
one, Frederick Hampbell wrote, the Messiah, have you heard it? Have
-
you sag it for the Lord God? Niput rey in the Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah for the Lord God. No move into my choir of
-
voice. Right now. The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of
-
our Lord and of his Christ and of His Christ. And he show reign.
-
Oh boy, you may get voice lessons this week. We need help
-
right there. And he shall reign forever and ever, and he shall reign
-
forever and ever. And he shall reign forever and ever, and he shall
-
reign for ever ever, King of Kings forever forever, and Lord of Lords
-
forever forever, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and he show reign
-
forever renever. This is a rapture song. This is not a sweet by
-
and bye song. This is this is a song that was the theology of
-
the church. This has been the theology of the church. And therefore kings
-
were subjected to Christ, and therefore nations were led to the Lord, and
-
therefore the kingdom grew and the Kingdom spread, and therefore amazing things happened because
-
the theology of the Church believed that Jesus was King of kings and Lord of
-
lords. I'm not talking about a fringe This is not a fringe group.
-
This is not a friend. This is not like some little fringe group somewhere
-
that has some little sect somewhere, or some little sect sect or had some
-
little cults somewhere. This is not some little fringe group. This is This
-
was the theology of the Church. And because the Church was in agreement with
-
the victory of the Christ, then God was moving to bring forth the victory
-
in and over and through the Church globally, and enemies were being subdued,
-
and demons were being routed, and unclean things were being pushed out and dispossessed
-
out of the nations. And this this is the forerunner stuff of how of
-
how our nations started, and what was happening with the Puritans, and why
-
why the the beginning book for all education was the Bible. The thing we've
-
kicked out of our schools huhn mm hm. This this kind of stuff,
-
And I think this is God's cry for us that again he would have a
-
church that agrees with the victory of the king. Hallelujah, hallelujah, he
-
would again have a church that agrees with the victory of the King. And
-
it doesn't you know, it doesn't matter what we see. Should it matter
-
what we see? What did the early Church see when the Word and the
-
apostles and the prophetic ministry of Holy Spirit announced the victory of Jesus over Satan
-
and over the curse and over all things? What did what did the early
-
Church hell on Earth? They saw Hell on Earth. They were staring circumstantially
-
at Hell on Earth. Everything unclean was rampant, and people were more demonized
-
than you could even imagine. And there was idolatry everywhere, idolatry everywhere.
-
It was absolutely dark when he won this great victory. It was beyond your
-
comprehension, because you and I have never even begun to experience anything so dark
-
as it was when Jesus came. It wasn't only the fullness of time that
-
he came Galatians for, but it was also it was also the very peak
-
of darkness, coming into the darkest day. What huh it just happened?
-
Did you feel that got dark earlier, shorter day? Well, guess what.
-
When Jesus came, it was the darkest of days. It was the
-
darkest of days. Darkness covered the earth. Well, what did the disciples
-
know? What did the apostles know? What did those who saw the resurrection
-
know? What did those who hung out in the upper room know? They
-
knew that the King of kings and the Lord of lords had come. They
-
knew that the dominion of Jesus was being loosed upon the earth. They knew
-
that Satan had been overthrown. They knew that the curse was no longer to
-
rule over mankind. They knew He is the fulfillment of the promise to is
-
to Abraham, the promise to Abraham. And I know I'm out of time.
-
I know I'm out of time. No fidgeting, don't be nervous,
-
don't be nervous. I am actually not going to go through the ten scriptures
-
that I had or the fifteen or whatever I have, So don't be nervous.
-
Don't be nervous. But what they knew, they knew something crazy,
-
right, they knew that Jesus was the air of Okay. Here it is
-
Romans four thirteen for this promise, for the promise that he would be heir
-
of the world. Now this is this is Romans form Romans for talking about
-
Abraham and how we have been brought in through faith to the promise to Abraham
-
that he would be the heir of the world. So it says here in
-
verse thirteen, for the promise that he would be the heir of the world
-
was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the
-
righteousness of faith. So the promise given to Abraham that he would inherit the
-
world right and be be essentially the lord of the world or restored with lordship
-
of the world, because Satan had taken or deceived Adam and stolen the world
-
away. But the promise was that Abraham would be the heir of the world.
-
But it wasn't through the law, but it was through the righteousness of
-
faith. It was fulfilled in Jesus, and we enter into the Abrahamic promise
-
through the Christ, and he became the heir of the world, and we
-
become Romans says, joint heirs with him, we become joint heirs with him.
-
What a miserable existence of it, to be a joint heir of the
-
world and never taste of the destiny of the victory because you refuse to come
-
into agreement with his dominion, or you keep postponing his dominion until after he
-
comes again. When he clearly stated, some of you standing here today will
-
not taste death until you see the sun come into his kingdom, he said
-
it Glatians three thirteen and fourteen. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
-
Law becoming a curse for us, for its written cursed is everyone who is
-
hung on a tree. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to
-
Abraham might come to the gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we
-
might receive the promise of the Spirit. The promise to Abraham is that he
-
would be the heir of the world, and Christ has become the king of
-
kings and the Lord of lords. I love I love the clarity. I'm
-
going to read one more thing to you and then we'll try to wind it
-
up. I love the clarity that has come to that passage that he is
-
the King of kings and the Lord of lords, because you know, you
-
know what the clarity is. You know who the kings are and the lords
-
are. That he's the king of and the You know who it is.
-
Yeah, it's you in this building. It's you in this building, the
-
joint heirs with him. He is the heir of the earth through his supremacy,
-
his righteousness, his victory, his representation of us before the Father.
-
He is the heir of the earth. He is the fullness of the promises
-
made to Abraham, and we are joint heirs with him. He's the King
-
of kings and the Lord of lords. He's the King of kings and the
-
Lord of lords. He makes it clear in Revelations chapter one, chapter six
-
twice he talks about this kingdom of kings, this kingdom of kings, as
-
joint heirs. He's called you to rule and reign with him in the earth.
-
But you won't until after you die, if you won't come into agreement
-
with his victory now, because he is reigning now for those who confess before
-
men that he's reigning now, because then he can confess before the Father that
-
this one believes I'm reigning now. Oh, and this one believes I'm reigning
-
now. Oh, and this one believes I'm reigning now. And this one
-
believes I'm raining now, and this one believes I'm raining now, and this
-
one over here. They believe I'm raining now. So Father, go ahead
-
and pour out the reigning victory on them, because they believe I'm raining now.
-
And so I'm a joint heir of the earth. Not in name only,
-
not in word only, not in scripture only, but in manifestation and
-
experience. In the past, God spoke to our ancestors. This is Hebrews
-
one, and then I'll quit. In the past, God spoke to our
-
ancestors through the prophets many times in various ways. But in these last days
-
He's spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed. I just think
-
this is what he wanted me to share today. So you know, of
-
all the things that I could share, I don't know. I look for
-
what the wind is on, what's the oil on. And this is why
-
I believe He wants deposited in our hearts today, is that there is more
-
power than you can even imagine, made known to you individually and corporately church
-
as you and when you begin to come into agreement with him, like Frederick
-
Handel did, and like Isaac Watts did when he wrote Joy to the World
-
hundreds of years ago. And they saw the Kingdom advancing, and they saw
-
demons routed, and they saw nations shifted, and they saw the kingdom growing,
-
and they saw the missionary work of the Church expanding across the globe.
-
And they were working and serving in a church that was over to taking the
-
planet, not expecting a growing kingdom of darkness and a great falling away,
-
and not expecting this and that and all these negative things of which we don't
-
even know, but expecting that of the increase of His government of peace,
-
there shall be no end. And so Proverbs eighteen twenty. Death and life
-
are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat
-
the fruit. See, your words are releasing the seeds of God, the
-
seeds of His victory, into the atmosphere of your life and your home,
-
your relationships. Your words are seeds, and those seeds are releasing the victory
-
of His dominion into the atmosphere of the spirit realm in you and all around
-
you. And seeds produce fruit. And so if you release the life of
-
his victory. Then those seeds produce the fruit of his victory, and you
-
get to eat the fruit thereof. And that's the kind of fruit that he
-
wants us to bear. He wants us to bear the fruit of agreement with
-
what he's said and with what he's done. That's what we want to confess.
-
We want to have the same confession, the same word, the same
-
logos in our mouth. That he is released through the sun. Satan is
-
under our feet, Darkness is under our feet, the curses under our feet.
-
Sickness and disease are under our feet. Poverty is under our feet,
-
fear is under our feet. Every expression of darkness is under our feet.
-
Oh Holy Spirit, we come into agreement with you today. We rejoice in
-
what you've done. You've set us free in the liberty of joy, the
-
liberty of faith, the liberty of hope, the liberty of love. You've
-
loosed us into this kingdom of the dominion of the Sun. That he is
-
victorious over all things, and you've made them the air of all things and
-
the air of the earth. He is the supreme one. He's not only
-
the coming king, he is the present king, ruling from heavenly Jerusalem now,
-
and we come into agreement with his victory, his rule, and his
-
reign. And we joyfully and fully long and love to see the manifestation of
-
his victory through us and with us. Along with us, we partner with
-
you as joint airs of Jesus, joint airs of the victorious One. Let
-
his victory be loose through the Church, the victory be loose through us.
-
We say yes, and amen. We say yes today, man, we
-
say yes and amen, that the curse is under our feet, darkness is
-
under our feet. We give you the praise for it in Jesus' name.
-
And everybody shouted
