17th March 2024 Infill Service - Kingdom Living

Good morning. Right, So me and day I have haven't spoken this morning.

Other said hello. So the Lord said to me this morning, wants

to plant some seed today. He wants to water some seed today because he

wants to see a harvest. Okay, So Genesis eight twenty two says,

while the earth remains seat, time and harvest, cold and heat, winter

and summer, and day and night shall not cease. So seed time and

harvest. Now you've got to plant to seed, and you've got to water

it so that something grows. It amazes me how much weeds we get around

here. A week comes in, it comes up difficult to get rid of.

But God doesn't want to plant weeds today. He wants to plant seeds

into our lives. Where you're listening online now you listen on line to this

message. Later we're in this room, go on to plant seeds. I've

got plants seeds in our hearts. Mark four. I'm not going to turn

to John Mark for talks about sowing seeds. And Jesus said, the heart

is where we sow the seed. Yeah, but your heart's got to be

open to receive the seed. If you've got if you have a garden,

or you see simplet with some grass. If you just toss some seed on

the dry ground here isn't going to go anywhere. It's got to be dug

up. It's got to be rotivated, it's got to be fertilized, and

you put your seed in there and it grows, because grass will grow anywhere

and seed grows. But seed produces after its own kind. You don't plant

an apple seed and get a banana tree. It doesn't work that way.

Yeah, you don't plant on orange tree. Or Julie has got lemon tree

actually here, so you see their lemon tree is about this big, and

there's lemons everywhere. But that came from a lemon seed. All right.

So we're going to talk this morning a little bit about walk this way.

Yea, that's about it right this time and Kingdom living. Dave last week

spoke about the Manual for Life, and I want to build on that,

and we talk about walking in fullness, walk in the fullness of what Jesus

did for us. Like I said, going to plant some seeds today.

So some of those things I'm going to say, maybe a seed for you.

It might be a case it's going to water something. Either way,

there's going to be some germin nation. There's going to be some harvest,

all right, because God wants you and me to live life to the full

till it overflows, till it fills, fills the potential that He is planted

in you. When you received him, we were born again, who had

the incorruptible seed planted in you? And He wants to water that seed so

it produces that harvest. When we first got married over twenty years ago,

my sister gave my wife a cactus and it died. Because my wife is

good than many things, but washing the catas wasn't one of them. I

said that to say this, we need to water the seed that God put

inside us. If you don't water it, it will not grow. It's

an incorruptible seat, so it will not die, but it will not grow.

There's no point company I sit like a bump on the log day in

day out, week in week out, because God wants you to be fruitful

in everything you do. Well, they got such and you will know them

by their fruit. So what's the key? That's the big question that what's

the key? Maybe could write above Dave the keys. The key is to

be consistent as the farmer waters his seed as the farmer removes the weed from

his crops. You know, the farmer worries if it's not going to rain,

if it's not going to get or if it's not going to rain,

it wor if it's going to get too much raining. Where if you're going

to get the wrong sort of rain. Because He knows you have to create

the right conditions for something to grow. So we need to create the right

conditions for the heavenly seed to grow to curture in our lives. Yeah,

we don't. We've never been a change and go once. It's a change

from glory to glory to glory. That's his plan. I didn't write that

down. That's his plan. And where it starts for us is with the

Word of God manual. As we read the Word of God, as we

meditate on the Word of God, that word will change our perspective how we

see things. If we consistently do that, like the farmer consistently keeps eye

his crop and does his thing, we're going to get the germination. We're

going to see the harvest. All God wants from us is to live the

life is called us to live. It doesn't stop when you've received as your

Lord and your savior, you don't get a little badge saying, hey,

I've made it. Everything is cool. I'll just put my feet up now

and away over heaven. That's just going through the door. Then the real

stuff starts. Yeah, but it all starts with the living word, the

written word, So we need to give it our attention. Probabs four twenty

to twenty two says, give attention to my words. Incline your ear to

my sayings, do not let them depart from your eyes, keep them in

the midst of your heart. For their life, to those that find them,

health, to all their flesh. I've ever heard that word before.

This is God wanted to plant a seed in our lives and to say,

hey, it's God, how are you this morning. Fundamentally, if we're

not planting seed, if we're not meditating on the word of God, if

we're not getting some understanding fronts to meditator on it, I do not building

that word into our lives. We're not going to see a harvest in the

particular area. And that's what he wants to see for us. God is

not a bad guy. He's not trying to give you grief. People at

work might try to give you grief, but God doesn't do that. He's

not in the grief giving business. God is a builder. Jesus said,

I will build my church in the gates. I will not prevail against it

how it is. And God wants to make a difference to our generation.

So are looking around here in this In this room, there's people who've got

gray hair, there's people who've got blond hair, people don't know hair.

There are different generations in this room, and it's up to us to reach

those people. There's certain things I cannot say to somebody because I don't connect

with them. There's certainly as I can say you can't say. But unless

we're living the way go answers to live the king they live in peace,

we're not going to be living to our full potential and giving what go answers

to give to somebody will be that light if he wants us to be.

This is the way walking in as I are thirty twenty one, I think

David that scripture last week, and your ears will hear a word behind you

saying this is the way walking It when you turn to the right and turned

to the left, when we full up, controlled and led and directed by

the Holy Spirit. That's what happens. I think Dave told the story a

couple of weeks ago. We told it was another times before about his coffee

trip into Eggham when he went to meet someday. But Dave jumped the gun,

went a bit early, I got said to him, No, no,

it wasn't that day. With this day. So they've listened, they've

acted a bit early. But he got it. He went in there and

God did a divine and made a divine connection and divine appointment. And God

has divine appointments for us every day, denign connections He wants us to make

either physically or over the phone. We've got to be connected with him to

do that. You know, you can make a difference of somebody's life about

what you say or what you do. We have that earth and vessel,

we having our earth and vessels of treasure we all have. It's put it

in there, so it's about being available. I wanted to talk about the

number of foundational fundamentals I'll call them, which the All wants to talk to

us about. So you might get a goose or a prick from the Holy

Spirit. You might not, or it might be all lovely in the garden.

Just five things which will help us in the kingdom living peace, and

five things that come up a lot when you talk to people who go through

challenges over the years. These five things have come up. So these are

thirty five things we're going to talk about for a few moments. Jesus said,

and when you stand praying, if of anything against anyone, forgive him.

Are your father in heaven may also forgive you your trespassers. If you

do not forgive neither, your Father in Heaven forgive your TransPasses. That's the

that's the mark eleven, twenty five, twenty six. You know, forgiveness

is one of the biggest things you deal with, whether you'd ministered in Sunday

or in life. That's where Jesus goes on about it in the Bible.

Used to do a little word search for forgiveness because it pops up along.

That's because it's fundamental to kingdom living. You don't get that foundation right,

you know, it doesn't. You don't progress because it locks things down.

It's working John, Actually I'll try and shout yeah, so it locks things

down. I recall a conversation with somebody who have known for many years,

many years, and they had made a decision which they had realized wasn't the

best deusion they could have made for a particular issue. And they've gone to

God. They'd saw forgiveness. But they find it very hard to move on,

very hard to move on because what happens always before them. And that

was tough for that for that person, Thank you, that was very tough.

I recall the story I was told about another person and they've gone to

God, applied to one John one nine. It says, if you confess

your sins, He's faithful and ju justice to give you your sins and cleanse

it from all on righteousness. And they couldn't let him go either. And

God said to them, Hey, do you know what, when you confess

your sin, it's not when I found out about it. It's when you

got rid of it. When you confess your sin, it's not when I

found out about it, it's when you got rid of it. You know,

for us to be useful in the Kingdom of God, to us to

have that kingdom living peace operator in our lives, we cannot hang on to

unforgiveness. Yeah, we make mistakes. Yeah, sin is a problem,

but Jesus died decline us from that sin. When Joe and I says,

you can get rid of it. So when you get rid of it,

don't hold onto it that stuck on me for yours. That that story about

the guy, what the guy that said to that guy? When you conforto

sin is not when I find out about it, it's when you got rid

of it. So the ask from God today is remember when you confess your

sins, that's when you got rid of it. Do not hold on to

it. Do not walk in unforgiveness or somebody else to put it. Do

yourself a favor forgive. That's one of the fundamental foundations we need to make

sure we walk in. You know, people try and mess with your mind.

Don't let them choose to forgive. That will mess with their mind.

Another one is healing. You know, Jesus died to make us hope.

Yeah, that's what the Bible says. You know, we don't like it

read it. That's what it says. He was wounded for our transgressions.

He was bruce for our guilt and iniquities. The chastisement of our pieces upon

him with his stripes that wounded him. We are healing and made hope as

our fifty three verse five. That's the AMPLI five person. Thank you Jonathan.

We're healing and made home physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, all

that sort of stuff. That's what he died to give us right now.

Sometimes that's a journey for us. You don't come through the door of salvation,

and generally speaking, you don't get this brill ping and then everything goes

away. Everything's fine. You know. I have known people who in the

meeting God has basically given the message of salvation. He's healed them, and

they don't know the way. But from my experience, that's not the norm.

You know, experience and God can do it is sovereign. But God

heals and makes hope. Sometimes a challenge for us is we don't know how

to get God to do that. One sea Come wants to plant this morning

is faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. In Romans

ten seventeen. If we plant the Word in our lives, you take a

healing seed, and you plant a healing seed, you're going to get a

healing So you're going to get a right, I say, a healing your

flud. Plant a peace seed. You don't get peace. Wherever you know

you plant a joy seed, You're going to get joy. Wherever you plant

in the word of God in the ground of your heart is going to if

you go through the process. You know, you plant it, it germinates,

you water it, it starts to sprout, and you get it.

You get you get a harvest. Unlike the world, it doesn't happen sometimes

as quickly as you want it to happen. But that's not a time to

give up. That's the time to persevere. So God wants to remind us

this morning. Plant your seed, water your seed, keep on going to

get where you're gonna get. Don't give up the weather. God says,

as are fifty five eleven that his word will not return to him void.

It will accomplish that true Please, Yeah, it will not return to him,

for God's word carries power. Yeah, that's how it is. I

didn't write the book. I just lived by the book. He wants to

reminder this morning to plant those seeds. If your plans to me haven't seen

the harvest, don't let go keep on to it. Yeah, this is

not is a foundation of fundamentals who went to remind us of because he wants

us to excel. We know this stuff, but sometimes we don't think about

this stuff and we need to be reminded about it so that we go,

yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that, and you go

and do it. Otherwise you can go from the bunny trail. Yeah.

Another favorite you want to talk about this morning is peace. More as I

hear, today's ship's got a good testimony about peace, so you can't give

it. Never mind, God's peace, which transcends all understanding, is available

to everybody. But if we're full of worry and anxiety rather the word of

God, we're not going to experience that piece That sounds sensible. But a

lot of people you can talk to and they're know at peace. They're anxious,

but they don't apply. Don't plan the seed to get the harvest here.

If we choose to plant the seed of peace in our heart, we're

gonna get a harvest of peace. And God wants to walk us to walk

in peace. Morien's testament is about walking in peace. How literally, people

came past their desk and said, Wow, this is so peaceful here.

I think I have stayed here a little bit before I go and go.

If you're so full of God's peace, it pervades the area you're sitting in.

And that's that's something else, isn't it. And there's levels. You

know, you see a flower, you get the green, then you get

a little bit of the flower and it opens out and it comes this great,

big blossom, and they think it's off a fragrance, doesn't it?

So that when you put the word of God in there, you see the

shoot, you see the flower, then you see the fragrance, and the

fragrance of the fragrance draws people. Yeah, that's often people say, what

is it about you that's slightly different? What is it about you? Why

are you different? You can, but it's what they see. Because you've

put something in there, you've watered it, and its harvest time, that

fragrance is there. People are drawn by a fragrance. There's nice fragrances and

there's not so nice fragrance, But people are drawn by nice fragrances. You

will smell a flower and all this starts and making the right decision about what

you're going to plant in your heart in the water. I'm going to walk

through to see that harvest. We don't start planning seventeen seats at the same

time. You know, that's just nuts. You need to focus on what

you're planting, and you know, apply that to you see the harvest.

There's a time from seeing the harvest to walking in that harvest. So that

fragrance prepares everybody. This is all there's all levels. But we've got to

start somewhere. So you might be at the side where you're you're you're about

to keep off your fravorance. Smell me. Yeah, he's my piece.

You know, God's peace flowing from me. You know, you might be

the starts of Oh, I've got to break up the ground with the word

of God before I plant that seed, because my ground is so hard,

you know, the water just bounce off it. Jesus said, you should

love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,

with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. Second is

you should love your neighbor as yourself. That's Matthew twenty two thirty seven through

to thirty nine. Love the Lord your God with all your heart is so

your mind. This most of us can do because God. Hey, you

know, you know we loves is for is not against us. You love

your neighbors yourself. That's some ach tough for some of our neighbors. Aren't

that nice to love? Yeah, that's just how it is. But you

know what, when you plant to the seed of love in your heart,

you've watered it with the word of God, that flowers come out. That

fragrance has come out, and the love of God, which is in your

heart flows with that person. It's easy because it's not your love, but

it's God's love. And that's the key here, isn't it. Guys.

It's knowing that whatever's insiders, which is from the word of God, is

his. We are his, We carry his presence, we carry his person.

When we put that word in there, you start to flow out.

We got that nice fragrance. The love of God reaches people that we cannot

reach. You cannot love the unlovable, but God can. Some people you

just connect with. You meet some day and it's like, oh, we

got on well together. Other people like gosh, you know, they just

there's nothing there. But then God's love flows through you to that person and

they say, tell me about your Jesus blow says, except the corner wheed

fall to the ground and die and bite alone. If it dies, it

brings forth much fru. That's John twelve twenty four. Except to corner wheat

falls to the ground and dies to bye to them. If it dies,

it brings forth much true. You know. If we die to self,

die to what we think, allow God to work through our eyes, plant

that seed, to see that harvest things happen. Lares have change around us.

We're changed. Yeah, that's the kingdom living bit. And we know

all this. This is new, you know, but it's a case for

applying it so well, this is a seed for you. It's a bit

of a washing for you where it's a smack up the bottom. I don't

know, you know, it's not that my business, Mabus. Just give

the word that I'm being given and let God do the rest my job.

We need to die to self. It's a surrender to the Holy you know,

not my world you just said. But you all will be done and

we need to be in that place to be a conduit of his love.

So that fragrance of God's love flows to the people. But you've got to

build on that. You don't go from n to sixty. Bang, I'm

there. It takes time in the word to build that. It takes surrender

to allow that to flow through us. You know, Paul said, love

suffers long and is kind. Love does not envy, Love does not parade

itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek

its own. It's not provoked, thinks no evil. Does not rejoice in

iniquity, but rejoice us in the truth, bears all things, believes all

things, hopes all things, endure us all things. The but I like

is love never fails. God's love never fails. Right, That is a

truth. So we need to be we need to position ourselves where we can

let that love, which never fails, flow through our hearts to those people

around us. One work from God can change somebody's life forever. You can

be that person to bring that love, be that person to bring that So

l'st one of the seeds which I haven't talked about for I don't know how

long. Now. He's the word joy. In fact, i'd say it's

not a word we use very often. You don't going to work or if

I had a joyous stay today, It's just not something you say, is

it. I mean, we don't do it. But the Bible talks a

lot about joy. The name I ate tends to the joy. The Lord

is your strength, the joy Lord is your strength. Again, the joy

of the Lord, the joy of the Lord. Otherwise it is his joy,

our joy. In other words, you know nothing inside us that's joyful

unless His joy is bbly not out of us. It's interesting that Romans fourteen

and verse seventeen says, for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,

but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Notice its joy

in the Holy Spirit. I got as far to say is joy is not

just the fruit, It's a spiritual force. When the joy of the Lord

is working, it changes people's lives. It breaks depression because God breaks things

of people lives. God changes people's lives, whether it says here or people

live in a line later or people in the street. God changes people's lives,

and joy does that. The Bible tells us to rejoice in the Lord

always. Again, I say, rejoice Pippins for four and we need to

have God's joy operating our lives. We need to make a choice to be

joyful, but we need to make a choice to rejoice. Yeah, we

can pant the seed of the word in there. But also joy is a

strange thing. If you start to rejoice the joy, the lot starts to

rise. You can get it. You can become a joy giver whether you

walk in enjoy and it overflows, like how about the flower? The fradness

overflows, And that's where he wants it to be, guys, he wants

the overflow. It's been put in our lives. If you like to get

people wet, you know, for full, fill up a bucket or a

bucket overflows. Fill the cup overflows. You know, water will overflow,

the pretence of God will overflow. When you're when you're full and you overflow,

people are going to receive you're that overflow. I've seen it happen.

I've seen it happen. So when we plant, when we water, when

we see that harvest come, I want to see that fragrance, when we

see that overflow people's lives to change, our lives, to change. That's

where you get the kingdom living from. So they ask is what do we

need to do? What investments do we need to make in certain areas?

And don't go nuts you know, you speak the Holy Spirit about this,

and you know with leading, if we're consistent with the word of God,

we're consistent with watering the seed. If we're consistent with surrending to the Holy

Spirit, we'll see the harvest. We'll see that germination of that sea.

We'll see that secrets, see that harvest. And it's fruit that lasts.

All the stuff I talked about, and naturally speaking, if you have an

apple on an apple thing, you don't harvest it, it drops the ground

and it rots. God's fruit doesn't rot. He doesn't have a cell by

date on it. It's eternal, it's heavenly, and it echoes into eternity.

So I guess where I want to be is in that eternal space.

And look around this room. Here there's people who are very very young,

people who are pretty old, people like me who are well, you know,

youngish. But in a there's heavenly fruit which will equo in eternity.

Souse. I just wants to encourage it this morning, to plan our seed,

to water our seed, to walk his way to the full, to

the overflows, live life to the full, to the overflows. So let's

pray no arab kay mhm. Sir, Please take the word which we've spoken

this morning and moving the people's lives in this room, put into this message

online who listening later, taken from where they are to where you want them

to be, one step at a time, but each step will be a

miracle, Lord, so that they are living the abundant life, and the

fruit that you see from their lives echoes into eternity. And because of that

fruit, other people in heaven whold they meet, could say, because you

said that to me, I am here to day in Jesus name.
