Glory to God, all right? Revelation chapter 21 verses one

Revelation 21 · chapter mention

through 4 Revelations 21. We are not afraid of the Book of

Revelation. Simple book to understand,

especially when you understand what the Bible's about.

But when you don't understand what the Bible's about, you stay

away from Revelation because you don't understand.

Revelation is just a book of governments, of nations, but the

whole Bible is about this. And when you understand that,

you don't get upset. Revelation 21 takes place after

the catching away of the Church of which most scholars believe.

That's a seven-year period before Jesus Christ himself

returns to planet earth, puts his foot physically on the

planet, takes the devil, and when I say takes, he sends 1

Angel, just one, to chain him. Throw him into the bottomless

pit and he will stay there for 1000 years.

The deceiver will not have a voice on the planet for 1000

years. Jesus himself will physically be

present in the earth, not for 33 years, but for 1000 years, not

as a lamb that was slain, but as the reigning king.

The king is coming, I said. The King's coming and after that

thousand years he will release from that prison called the

bottomless pit, the devil again to roam on the earth.

And it will be after Jesus has physically been here for 1000

years, ruling and reigning, that nations will actually side with

the devil and act like they can go to the Jerusalem that is

still in the planet today and wage war against the King of

Kings. But it won't amount to anything.

I said Adam at his Adam, a breath from his mouth.

They will be defeated. And then all of a sudden, the

devil for the last time, he will take him and throw him into the

lake of fire, which is God's prison system.

It's not the devil's home. It's not where he gets to hang

out and have fun. It's not like some of the

ignorant people of the planet says when I go to hell I'm going

to take over and rule. No you're not.

You're going to scream, whine, cry and be in torment because it

is God's prison system of his Kingdom, of which for all

eternity we will see where the rebellious are.

This is why no one will ever rebel against God again, because

we will have a eternal record of where rebellion exists and it is

a lake of fire that burns forever.

And those who are in it are there because they wanted to be

there. They rejected the Lordship of

Jesus Christ and he will be cast there.

And then the dead, all those who had died without ever accepting

Christ, those that were in that place, not Abraham's bosom, but

that place on the other side of the abyss, That place where that

rich ruler was, that had that beggar named Lazarus, who used

to sit at his table and just look for crumbs as his dogs

would leak. Lick the sores on Lazarus.

He with his brothers most likely, and all who never called

on the name of the Lord or accepted his lordship, will be

pulled up out of the grave, taken to heaven, and stand

before the great white Throne judgment.

And God will judge each one of them.

The first book he pulls out is the Lamb Book of Life, and he'll

look for their name and we'll not find it.

And we'll close that book and then we'll open up the other

books. Every little thing of treason

and rebellion they ever did to the crown of God's Kingdom.

And according to those charges, he will sentence them eternally

into the lake of fire and 1 by 1 by 1 by 1, they will be cast

into the lake of fire, which is the second death.

Revelations 21 happens after this and it says in Revelations

21 verse one. Then I saw a new come on, speak

with me. A new what?

And a new why are we getting a new planet if we're going to

live in heaven forever? Now for some of you, I'm sad to

say that you've not been taught the actual conclusion of the

Bible. The only thing you've been

taught about God's conclusion is that we'll be with him forever

and he's currently in heaven. So we have decided that we'll

live in heaven forever. However, the Bible says then I

saw a new heaven and a new. Now I don't call it earth.

The Bible calls it earth. Jesus called it earth.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit who moved on John the Apostle and

gave him this revelation says there's a new heaven and new

earth. Now that doesn't mean heaven and

earth do not exist. It means they are burned with

fire, the 1st and 2nd heaven and are purified.

And this earth we're on will burn with fire and be purified

and it'll be a new earth for the 1st heaven.

And the first earth passed away and there is no longer any sea.

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming, coming.

What coming? What down?

Out of, out of say out of, out of heaven.

Glory to God out of heaven, out of heaven from God made ready as

a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from

the throne saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is among men,

and he will dwell among everybody said, I want to go to

heaven. And God says I can't wait till I

come to the earth. God say man, I can't wait till I

come to the earth. I cannot wait until I make my

abode in the center of all creation called planet earth.

Now I'm not saying that the 3rd heaven won't exist, and I'm not

saying that we won't have access to it.

But I'm saying the Bible's very clear that God is making a

habitation on the earth. And you would be wanting only

religious tradition to reject this idea, because this is

actually not an idea. It is the voice of the Lord.

And it says, And He will dwell among them, and they shall be

his people, and God Himself, and who God Himself will be among

them. Look at verse 4.

And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Now this is pretty powerful because we have concluded that

the minute we die and we're absent from our body and we're

present with the Lord, we won't cry anymore.

Yet it's at this point that he wipes away every tear from their

eyes and there will no longer be any death cause death He cast

into the lake of fire. So anybody would say, well, can

can we rebel again in the no, there'll be no longer any death.

Those that are locked into life are locked into life eternally.

Those that are locked into death are locked into death eternally.

And it says there'll be no longer any death.

There will no longer be any mourning or crying or pain.

The first things have passed away.

Wow, wow. Do you understand?

Because we have done a disservice to the Scripture and

we have stayed within the redemption of man alone without

taking in account God's intent for man and what God concludes

in Revelations 21 and 22. We have only been following a

Savior instead of seeing Him as a king.

And a savior is what Jesus did. Jesus had to become savior

because man fell from dominion. But Jesus has always been Lord.

He's always been the ruler. He's never abdicated his throne.

He's always been the ruler and He's been a ruler in heaven at

the right hand of his Father. But because man fell from his

dominion, Jesus had to come and restore that dominion.

Because the Bible's about a king, his Kingdom, and his royal

offspring. We see in Genesis 126 again a

perfect chapter, Genesis 1 and 2, No sin is on the earth at

this particular time. Adam and Eve are made in the

image of God, as it says. Then God said, let us make man

in our image according to our likeness, and let them have

dominion or rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of

the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every

creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God.

He created them, male and female.

He created them, and He never gets that wrong.

Dominion means to govern, to rule, to control things, to

manage, to master something, to have rulership.

When we hear these words today, because the world is in a fallen

state and men rule over men, God never intended that.

When we hear these words, we obviously start thinking of

humans. But Genesis 126 never intended

for me to rule Dustin. I was only to rule the things on

the earth and over the environment of the earth, not

over other humans, because humans are ruled only by one

God, only by God. So when God in this Genesis 1

ruling is not a negative, it's not oppression.

Ruling is release of authority, power, purpose.

Because God is so confident in His rulership, He doesn't mind

sharing because you can't overtake His throne.

Some have tried, all have failed.

Some have tried, all have failed.

An anointed cherub tried, failed, and a third of the

angels fell with him. However, when man still today

tries to put his seat above the most high, he fails every time.

He fails every time. You say I would never do that.

I would never try to rule God. Well, do you do your word or his

word? Because if you do your word

instead of His word, then you are trying to put your authority

above his. Because there's a way that seems

right to a man until you line it up with the word of God.

Hallelujah. So in this dispensation, God

says don't forsake the assembling of yourself together.

Which means then I don't make an excuse not to come to church.

I show up and I participate in the body.

We are participators. We are not spectators.

We are jointed and fitted together.

We all bring our joint supply. That's not negotiable.

That's submission to the highest authority.

The one who sits on the throne, the one that every knee will bow

and every tongue will confess, is Christ, that Christ Jesus is

Lord. And so we see here that God

established us to rule. A Kingdom is a government

influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his

personal will, purpose and intent, producing citizens,

expressing the culture, values, morals and lifestyle, reflecting

the King's nature. And this is what God wanted.

I'm in heaven ruling here, man. You rule earth down there.

Your planet and my place will look exactly alike because we're

of the same nature. And you'll rule like I do in

your sphere as I rule in my sphere.

I ultimately rule all spheres. But I'm giving you access to

rule there, to manage, to control, to have dominion, to

rule over these things. Notice God never said let man,

let's make man in our image corner line is and let him rule

over me and the fish and the birds.

No, you're never ruling over the Creator.

Hallelujah. He gave you very specific

boundaries. See, the original plan of God

was to extend His heavenly Kingdom on the earth through

mankind. God created man to manage and

administrate His king dominion on the earth.

Because here's the thing, God believes that government is the

answer to mankind's problem. It's His government.

This is why Isaiah Nah six and seven concerning this child that

is coming because Adam had fallen from dominion.

He says a child will be born, a son will be given, and the

government will rest on his shoulders.

Notice a child is born in Isaiah Chapter 9 verse six and seven.

Isaiah 9 · chapter mention

Notice a child is born, but a son is not born because the son

always existed. And this is in your Bible.

And I know this can be tough in the US because we've been

conditioned or trained to separate government and church,

not understanding that church is actually government.

Because church is not a term that Jesus used or made-up or

communicated to the disciples that they never heard before and

was not known in the world that they were living in.

In fact, the Greek word is ecclesia.

Some say ecclesia, and it it is the same term used by the Roman

government for their Senate, for their legislative body, for

those who carried out the will of their king Caesar in Rome.

And so we as the Church, or more like ambassadors and our

assembling is us coming together and the embassy of God, where we

hear from the home country and communicate his plans, his

purposes, his will upon the governments or tribes and people

of the earth. And listen, we're letting them

know there's a better government because all the world today is

looking for new and better government.

Why are there protests in Iran? Why are there citizens?

Why is there citizens in Cuba right now protesting because

they believe there is a better government for them to be under?

And the whole plan is looking for this.

And the reality is, is that all forms of government is man's

attempt to be in a system that God created, yet without God or

without the Holy Spirit. And God never intended man to

govern without the Spirit of God.

Never. It was never God's intent.

For when he made Manny breathed into his breath and his nostrils

the breath of life, the Holy Spirit was there to confirm, to

let him know that he was a child of God and he could function

like God in the earth, in the assignment that God and purpose

he had given him. You understand there is a

purpose for man. The purpose for man is not to

sing. Again.

We have taken a tradition of the word worship man.

God created us to worship. Well, first of all, worship is

not singing. It can include singing.

Singing can because singing is actually praise.

Whether it's fast or slow, it's praise nonetheless.

Worship is when you bow your knee, submit yourself to the one

that rules. So in that context, we were

created to worship. We were created to bow our

knees, submit ourselves to the King of glory, to the Creator of

heaven and earth, to follow Him with all of our heart, all of

our mind, all of our strength, everything about us was to be

His and completely His and willfully His, because He loves

us with an everlasting love, with an everlasting love, Mama,

it's amazing. And because God created us, He

had a position for us. But yet we only see ourselves in

our failed state when God is trying to restore us to our

righteous state. And He's doing this on all

fronts, not just in the spirit, not just in the soul realm or

the mental realm, but also ultimately even in the body

realm, that our spirit, soul, and body will be glorified,

Hallelujah, and will be restored back to what God said.

So again, God knows that what's in the heart of all humans, that

there is this government that we can exist in that releases our

full potential and allows us to live our best life.

This is why people come to the United States for a better life

for themselves and their children.

Children for generations, yet the United States fails when

compared to the Kingdom of God. It's not even close.

I mean, it's been good, but it's not even close.

And ours is on a track right now for some troubled times because

we have changed our thinking concerning our government.

We call it a democracy all the time.

When it's not, it's a constitutional Republic that

democratically elects their leaders.

And if the more morality of humanity stays with the Lord,

then we should be electing moral leaders.

But if the majority become immoral, then they will elect

immoral leaders and the righteous will suffer as a

result of unrighteousness. Because we put power in the

hands of humans that are not perfect.

But if the church, I said if the church would just rise.

And I'm talking, I'm not talking denominationally.

I'm talking about those who say that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It is easy to recognize who you should and should not vote for

because you will strip yourself of a natural party.

Not saying you won't have one. So you can vote, but your

allegiance will not be to a Republican Party, will not be to

a Democrat party, will not be to a Libertarian Party, will not be

a part of loyal to a Greenpeace party.

There's so many parties out there I can't even name them

all. But you won't be loyal.

You'll be loyal to the Kingdom and the king alone, and you'll

vote accordingly. And let me tell you, every time

you cast your vote, the King's writing it down, whether that

vote represents him and his word or whether it represents your

personal self-interest. So he said, a child will be

born, a son will be given to the government, will rest on his

shoulders, and his name will be called Wonderful counselor,

Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

There'll be no end to the increase of His government.

Order of peace on the throne of David or over His Kingdom, to

establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness

from then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts

will accomplish this. Again, every human heart is

searching for a new and better world.

All men believe that government is the answer of the power of

government. God believes it as well.

He knows it's His Kingdom. And this can be troubling

because at the end of the day, as we've launched this

particular topic, when I it's not even a topic, It is the

Bible of the Kingdom everywhere that the Bible has a theme that

is bigger and larger than the blood of Jesus.

Because Genesis 1 and 2 did not need the blood of Jesus.

The blood of Jesus was not required in Genesis 1 and 2, but

the Kingdom was there. Are you hearing me?

The Kingdom was there. So there was an existence where

the blood of Jesus was not necessary and man existed in

relationship with God without the blood.

Now unfortunately, Adam did sin and Adam did bring sin into the

world and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of

God. And we cannot have a

relationship now with God except through the blood.

But the blood of Jesus is paying a price to put us back in the

position that Genesis 1 wanted us to be in.

Most people are just wanting to go to heaven.

And let me tell you, you know why you like this idea so much?

It's because it strips you of your responsibility of son and

daughter ship. You don't want to be

responsible. That's why they accept this

tradition. Because when you accept

kingship, when you accept dominion, when you accept your

rightful place, then you know I have a responsibility to my

Father to obey Him at His word. I am not just accepting Him as

my Savior who paid the price for my wrongdoing.

I am yielding to His Lordship. Lord is not even a religious

word. It means supreme in authority

and because we rebel against any human authority, we really bell

rebel against Jesus's authority. But if Jesus is Lord, which is

really the only way you can be saved, it doesn't say call on

the name of the Savior, says call on the name of the the

Lord. You have to acknowledge you are

supreme. I could not do it myself.

My words had no authority, no power.

My actions had no authority, no power.

It had no way to make me right and right standing with you.

Jesus, you and you alone are the only one.

You are the Lamb that's without spot or wrinkle.

You are the one who came and fully obeyed the Father's will.

You are not like your first brother Adam.

You obeyed God at the very word, and you died on a cross, so that

your blood would be without stain, so that I could have

access again. You did this because you will

keep your Father's word, and Father will keep His word

concerning me. Now it's up to me and so it's

not a hard time, not a hard thing for me to pray, for me to

read, for me to be in church because it's an outward

expression of something that's changed on the inside of me.

I just love to be in the presence of God in every aspect

that God wants me to be in his presence.

So today I want to show you again that the Kingdom mandate

runs through the entire Bible. It's the re establishment to

humanity, what God started in the garden.

And so he found someone in the earth and said I'm bringing the

Kingdom back. I gave dominion to man.

Man will have to get it back, but man alone can't do it.

So I have to send my own seed in the form of a man.

So I'm going to have to have a bloodline.

And so we started with a man named Abram.

Genesis chapter 12. Let's go through the Bible

Genesis 12 · chapter mention

together. Can we?

In Genesis chapter 12 verses one through 3, it says now the Lord

Genesis 12 · chapter mention

said to Abram, go from your country and from your relatives

and from your father's house to the land, which I will show you

and I will make you a great notice.

He didn't say a great religion because Jesus is not interested

in religion. He's interested in his Kingdom.

He said I'll make you a great nation, I'll bless you and I'll

make your your name great. And so you will be a blessing,

right? And he goes, and the one who

curses you I will curse, and those who bless you I will

bless. And then he goes, and in all the

families of the earth will be blessed because of Abram, whose

name was changed when he, when he walked in covenant with God.

God said, no longer will I call you Abram, but I'll call you

Abraham. Abraham means a father of many

not religions, a father of many nations.

I have made you. Now he calls him this before he

ever has a son or child of his own, which means God doesn't

speak about what's now, God speaks about what will be God

and whatever God says will happen.

And Abraham, the father of many nations, gave birth to a man

named Isaac, who is the coveted child?

Not Ishmael. Ishmael is not God's covenant

child. He is a child of the flesh.

He is not a child of the Spirit. He is not ordained by God.

He goes on to say that a Isaac gave birth to a child named

Jacob. Jacob wrestles with the Lord in

Genesis and the Lord changes his name and his new name, instead

of Jacob's supplanter, becomes Israel.

Israel is a nation that is still in planet earth today.

It is the birth of the nation of Israel.

When God said Abraham make you a great nation, out of him came

the nation of Israel. So the Bible's about a king, his

Kingdom and his royal offspring, and he is demonstrating in the

earth that he will rule the nations, and he'll start with

one called Israel. He wants Israel to be the object

of every other government's desire.

So he tells Israel through his prophet Moses, as he delivers

them out of Egypt to take them over into the Promised land.

He gives them a recorded law. And the law is simply the

behavior and action that is necessary to demonstrate God's

Kingdom in the earth. And in Deuteronomy 28, he says,

This man, if you will obey my voice, because I am the one who

sits in the heavens and laughs, I am the one that is ruler over

everything. If you will obey what I say,

you'll be blessed coming in and blessed going out.

You'll be the head and not the tail.

You'll be above and not beneath. Everything you put your hand to

is going to prosper. I mean, you're going to be so

blessed in the field, in the city, your your livestock.

The the society was agricultural and he was saying every thing

agricultural that you do will be so blessed.

In fact the nation's you'll be so wealthy because I'm your king

that the nations will come to you to receive, but you will not

have to go to them. You want to bar die from them.

You will be the wealthiest nation on the planet.

And then he says in with anyone, tries to be your enemy.

When he comes up against you one way, I'll send him back in seven

ways. I'll run him down the road.

But he said, as my nation, in order to maintain this blessing,

you must obey my word because my word is life.

And remember what we said last week, the reason why you want to

obey him is 'cause he's life and anything that you, when you do

not obey, it's death. Last week we said your body

tells you without speaking that in order for you to live, you

require oxygen. Now it's not pure oxygen, it's a

mixture. But what that mixture is, you

require it. You could rebel and tell your

body. Don't tell me I have to inhale

this gas called oxygen and whatever the rest was, you know,

percentages. I guess I need to get that now

so I can quote it for you, right?

You could Google it or ChatGPT yourself and find out what we're

breathing. OK?

It's why you're living right now.

But many of you could walk in here with a tank of propane,

hook it up like a little mask, turn on your vow, and only allow

propane to go through your nostrils into your lungs.

I do not believe you'll make it out of service 'cause you can

rebel. And here's the thing, If sin

paid out as fast as you sucking propane, then you would quit

doing the choices that are contrary to God.

Because we'd be like, how foolish somebody would walk up

in here sucking on carbon monoxide, sucking on propane, I

mean, sucking on carbon dioxide. What you're releasing, you can't

even keep in you. You can't breathe that in and

sustain your life. Any other form other than what

we're inhaling now will bring death to us 'cause God created

our bodies to survive in the planet with this oxygen.

And in fact, it's our blood that's moving this oxygen

around. And so you can say I'm not going

to obey God, but what you're saying is I'm hooking myself up

to something that's going to kill me.

And that's the best way I can demonstrate it.

Because God's word is like, he's not telling you what to do

because you like I'm the guy. He's telling you because he's

like, I'm life and I want you to live.

I want you to live. I want you to have the fullest

life. I mean, I created you.

I know why you're living. I know why what your personal

and destiny is. I want you to have the fullness.

I'm not. I have no issue here because I'm

going to exist whether you do or not.

I'll be God whether you accept me or not.

I'll rule and reign whether you want to rule and reign or not.

You do not intimidate me, but I know your purpose.

This is why you want to say yes, Lord, I'm following you.

So Moses gives this law and we've treated the law so

negatively when the law was trying to reveal based upon how

man could live with God at the time, to live holy and righteous

and just not so that they could go to heaven and be in the in,

in the presence of God. We know that all that died in

the old covenant went to the grave, but they went to

Paradise. That means they could live

according to the law by faith in a way that they did not go where

the rich ruler went, but they went to a place called Paradise.

And in Paradise there was no torment in the grave there.

We got much to teach about that because our traditions have made

things so negative. Well, the law was there to show

that we couldn't. The law was there to show the

Kingdom of God. Man already knew he couldn't.

There was a way that seemed right, and they still died.

Then he gives them another way. He's trying to reveal himself

and his nature and his character, Not to prove them to

them they couldn't, but to continue to demonstrate to them

who he was. And we could not live the law in

such a way that we would be perfect before God, but we could

live it by faith enough that we didn't have to go to the place

beyond the abyss, but we could be in paradise and await that

day for when Jesus Christ himself would come and lead

captivity captive out. But we get over into Samuel

first Samuel chapter 8, verse 7. It says in the God said to

1 Samuel 8:7

Samuel, listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that

they say to you. They have not rejected you, but

they have rejected me from being king over them.

Now this is the nation that God went to Moses and said go, let

my people go. I'm going to use you.

I'm want you to go to that nation.

I want you to tell that nation that I'm their king, I'm their

God. Pharaoh thinks he's a God.

I want him to know I am and he's worshipping false ones and I'm

going to have all that belief system and religion that they're

after Crumble. Every one of his curses was in

direct connection to an object Egypt worshipped.

He was letting him know. You thought your God could do

this. I crushed it.

You thought your God. I mean, they serve the God of

Rod, the sun God, and he blackened it out.

It was so dark they couldn't even see.

He's like, where's your God now? Are you hearing what I'm saying?

And when the rest of Egypt dark, he leaves a light on.

And where Israel's at. Oh my gosh.

So God was a nation delivering a nation, went to a nation to

deliver a nation. And so he wants to take them

into a land flowing with milk and honey, where they could go

and they can live and prosper. And if they would obey them,

they'd be huge blessing to the world, to humanity, and showcase

the God and King of heaven. Yet these and Samuel did, just

like their forefathers who died in the wilderness.

They said we want to see a king, we want a man, we don't want God

anymore. And God acknowledged to Sammy,

He said, they've not rejected you, they've rejected me as king

over them. What's it say in Psalms 24/7 to

10? Lift up your heads, O gates, and

be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come

in. Who is the King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of hosts.

He is King of glory. Psalms 47, seven says For God is

the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

Yes, Jesus is the Lamb that was slain, but he's first king.

God is king, they rule and reign.

It's the Kingdom of God that is the the dominant, the theme of

the Bible, and it's about the restoration of this Kingdom back

to man through man with man for God.

That ultimately at the very end, if we get into Coloss

Corinthians, that Jesus, who has that authority will turn it

right back over to Dad. Wow, we know that Daniel talked

about this Kingdom that would come.

We talked about it last week in Daniel chapter 2, that a rock

Daniel 2 · chapter mention

was made without hands and it would crush all of these

kingdoms that ever existed because the Bible's about a

king, his Kingdom, his royal offspring, Zechariah prophesied

in Chapter 9, verse 9. Again, we're just going through

the Bible. Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zod

shouting tribe, O daughter of Jerusalem, behold, your king is

coming to you. He is just an endowed with

salvation and mounted on a donkey, even a coat a full of a

donkey. Remember when Jesus says go into

town, I want you to get that donkey.

And if someone tries to stop you, tell them not that the

Savior needs it, but that the Lord has need of it.

And when they stop the disciples, hey, what are you

doing on time that that's not yours?

They said the Lord has need of it And they said, Oh, the Lord,

oh, he's supreme authority at his words.

You can have it. And Jesus sure enough came into

town on that donkey never been written, and they laid their

coats and they laid out palm branches, and they did all as he

was coming in triumphantly, the King of glory.

In Luke chapter 1 verses 30 to 33, the Angel said to her

Luke 1:30–33

concerning Mary said, do not be afraid Mary, for you have found

favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in

your womb and bear some, and you, and you shall name him

Jesus, and he will be great, and will be called the Son of the

Most High. And the Lord God will give him

what? The throne of his father David,

and he will reign over the House of Jacob Forever, and his

Kingdom will have no end. Isaiah prophesied about the

Kingdom. Jeremiah prophesied about the

Kingdom, Zechariah prophesied about the Kingdom, Samuel knew

about the Kingdom, The prophets of old all knew about the

Kingdom. Everybody's looking for the

king. The whole old covenant is about

the king is coming. The problem is they did not

realize that Jesus had to come as a suffering servant and 1st

pay a price, but he still was king nonetheless.

Even in the action of Savior. He was saving us because of his

kingship. Oh my gosh.

And so he comes, he the Angel tells Mary, that's the king in

your womb. Listen, Thrones are in kingdoms,

not religions. In Matthew chapter 2 verses one

Matthew 2 · chapter mention

and two, it says now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea

in the days of Herod, the king Magi from the east, that's wise

men or astrologers from the east arrived in Jerusalem saying

where is he who was born king of the Jews?

We saw a star in the east and have come to worship him.

These guys came from where Babylon was.

These guys came from the place that Daniel prophesied about

this king coming. They have been waiting for

generations for this day and when the the star arrived on the

night he was birthday. It took them almost two years to

get to Jerusalem. And when they came into town and

met the king, King Herod, who was over Jerusalem, sat in that

place because of Pontius Pilate, the governor of Rome, home, and

he was ruling the people under the authority of the governor

Pilot. They said, where's the king of

the Jews? They did not come and look for

where's this new religion? Who's this guy that's going to

save the they're saying, where is the king?

This king that we have heard is coming and his Kingdom is going

to have no end. It was prophesied by this wise

man in our day called Daniel Belshazzar was his name given to

him by Nebuchadnezzar and said that this Kingdom was coming and

he would wipe out every other. And we want to put our

allegiance to the Kingdom that is a global takeover.

Oh my goodness. And we said last week, the devil

knows it's about a Kingdom In Luke chapter 4, remember, Jesus

Luke 4 · chapter mention

was full of the Holy Ghost, goes into the wilderness and it says

the devil let him up in verse 5 and showed him all the kingdoms

of the world in the moment of time.

The devil said, I'll give all this domain and its glory to

you, for it's been handed over to me.

Where did the devil get it from Adam in the garden.

He did not steal it. Adam willfully gave the devil

his dominion over the earth. But Jesus has come to take it

back, to take it all back. Hallelujah.

And did he take it back? Glory to God, Hallelujah.

So in order, he's given him an alternative.

You can rule as long as you bow to me.

The devil wasn't asking for a song, He was asking for

submission to his rulership. But the Lord says it is written.

It is written, you shall worship the Lord thy God and him only.

There's only one that I'll bow and knee to.

There's only one that is over all and He is my Father and I'll

never bow to you. And what he didn't know is I'm

taking it anyway in Luke chapter 4 verse 43, and it says in Jesus

Luke 4:43

he said I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other

cities also, for I was sent for this purpose.

What was his purpose? Well, we know at first Johnny

said to destroy the works of the devil.

What's he destroying? He's destroying the devil's

dominion, his authority, his power that he received from

Adam. He said I'm going to take it

back. I'm going to destroy his works.

This act of rebellion and treason and the ability, we're

all man. All he can do is rebel against

God. Well, I'm going to strip him of

that. And if man will put his

allegiance in me and bow down to my kingship, then I'll put in

them a new spirit. And that spirit will want to

obey Dad. It won't be a rebellious, stiff

neck, hard hearted spirit anymore.

It'll be one that says, yes, Dad, ABBA, Father, I want to

yield to you. I want to submit to you.

It has access to the Holy Ghost. And we'll hear from heaven and

obey the plan and purpose of God and stay yielded to him always.

And from that point on, Matthew 417, it said that Jesus began to

preach and say repent for the Kingdom of heaven as at hand.

That's all he preached about. We preach about born again more

than we preach about the Kingdom.

In fact, most of the church in the Western world, and in the

Eastern for that matter, at this point, doesn't even know it's

about a Kingdom. They think it's about an exit

strategy for heaven when it's really about world domination.

Now, when I say that, I'm not saying that we're going to stay

on planet Earth forever now. I'm saying if you die, you'll be

present with the Lord and he's presently in heaven.

But if you don't think this is about a global takeover, you

cannot run a bumper sticker and say coexist because nothing will

exist but God. He's the only thing that will

exist and the only reason they can coexist now is because God

is a merciful God, is a compassionate and kind God, and

he will let you believe whatever you want to believe, but he will

hold you accountable to whatever you believe.

If you choose to not accept him and want some other religion, he

will allow you because he will not make you submit to him, but

you will submit at some point. Now unfortunately when that

submission comes, it'll be a separation for eternity.

This is good news. You know we're this has become

such a foreign concept that when you preach like this it seems

abnormal when the reality is it is the normal part of the Bible.

I mean just do your homework. The Bible's ate up with the

Kingdom. Look at every time Jesus

publicly ministered when he started the conversation.

He'll say the Kingdom of heaven is like this and the Kingdom of

God is like that. He will address questions.

And the only reason we know we need to be born again is because

a religious man came at 2:00 in the morning and said, you know,

you must be from God. His name was Nicodemus.

And Jesus said unless a man is born again, he shall not see the

Kingdom of God. He won't even enter it.

Right? And you have to be born again.

Why? Because we can't smuggle

ourselves in. You know what the legal

immigration policy for the Kingdom of God is?

It is being a born citizen of that Kingdom.

I can't buy my way in. My good works can't get my way

in. I must be born of God.

It's the only way into His Kingdom.

In fact, his border is so tight, it's a narrow gate and few get

in. Unfortunately, I believe

sometimes the Christian Church is preaching such a wide gate.

Now it's easy if you'll accept Christ, He's done all the work,

but it's your responsibility once.

Once you've accepted that work and it's the most powerful life,

it is not looking back and trying to have an old life.

Matthew 610, nine and 10 says pray then this way our Father,

whose father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name, your

Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

He's our daddy. John chapter 18 verses 33 to 37.

John 18:33–37

Therefore Pilate entered some in Jesus and said, are you the king

of the Jews? Notice he didn't say, hey, are

you starting a new religion? I heard something called

Christianity was around. I mean, Christ is not even a

religious name. It is a title.

It is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word Messiah, which

is the anointed, one of his anointing.

And that's what you do to kings. And that's what happened to

Jesus the day he was baptized in the Jordan River.

God anointed him, and then he made a confession from heaven.

This is my beloved son in whom I will please.

It was him acknowledging Jesus's kingship.

So let me say Jesus Christ, we're saying Jesus the King and

not just the King, the eternal King, the King that will never

let go of his throne. Jesus answered.

Are you saying this on your own to others?

Tell you about me, Jesus not denying he's a king, Pilate

said. I'm not a Jew, am I?

Your nation, your own what? Your own nation, Chief Priest

delivered you over to me. Notice he recognizes Jesus's

nation before he recognized those, the religious part of the

nation. Jesus said my kingdom's not of

this world. If my Kingdom were of this

world, then my servants will be fighting so that I will not be

handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my Kingdom is not

of this realm. Now what Jesus is not saying is

that his Kingdom doesn't exist in the planet because he's

already said when you pray, pray this my king, your Kingdom come,

your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

So Jesus be a liar if his Kingdom couldn't impact the

planet. What he's saying is, is my

Kingdom does not operate like worldly kingdoms.

He qualifies that by saying if if my Kingdom were of this world

or if it operated like this, then my servants would not let

me be handed over the Jews. In fact he could say I have an

Angel down here right now smoke the whole place.

Have you not read what happened in my nation when I sit down 1

Angel and smoke 185,000 Assyrians and Mennonites?

I mean his angels are special, special forces.

I mean Secret Service to the next level.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? He goes on.

Then in verse 37, therefore Pilate says so you are king.

Jesus said you say correctly that I am a king.

Jesus doesn't deny because he knows he is.

Then he goes on and says, for this I have been born and for

this I've come into the world to testify the truth.

Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.

What did Jesus say? He said unless a Colonel we fall

in the ground and die, it cannot produce after its own kind.

So Jesus died a king and he was raised a king.

So he can make you a king because he's the king of king.

Who are those kings? You are those kings.

We are a royal bloodline. We are put back into the royal

bloodline and given the Kingdom back to us.

Hallelujah. In Acts chapter one verse 3, the

death, burial, resurrection of Jesus has occurred and it says

to these He presented himself alive after his suffering by

many convincing proofs appearing to them over a period of 40

days. And Speaking of things, Jesus

did not change his message to say after he was raised and say,

go tell everybody they must be born again and ask them where

are they going to go when they die?

He didn't change his message. He said it's the Kingdom, the

Kingdom, the Kingdom, the Kingdom, the Kingdom.

And then when you're operating the Kingdom, people be like,

what is going on with you? How do you live this life?

How can you have this? How can you have joy in such

troubling times? How can it seems like everything

works out for you? How come it seems like this that

the other you say, well, let me tell you about my Kingdom and

then they're like man, I want to get in that Kingdom and say,

well, you must be born again. You must confess Jesus as Lord.

It goes on and says in Acts chapter 20 verses 25 to 27 of

Acts 20:25–27

the writer of over half of the New Testament.

His name was Paul. It says and now behold, I know

that all of you among whom I went about preaching the Kingdom

will no longer see my face. Therefore I testify you this day

that I am innocent of the blood of all men, for I did not shrink

from declaring you the whole purpose of God.

All of the letters that are written to the churches by Paul

is Paul outlining to those churches, this is the culture of

the Kingdom that you are now a part of.

He said you once lived in one domain.

Now you're in a different You have been transferred out of the

domain of darkness into the Kingdom of his beloved son.

This is how citizens live within the Kingdom.

So even Paul's letters to the churches are about the lifestyle

of the citizen of the king. In Hebrews chapter 12, verses

Hebrews 12:28

28, it says this. Therefore, since we have

received a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude

by which we may offer to God an accountable service with

reverence and awe. This is why we dominate in the

earth. This year we talked about the

church would dominate. The reason we dominate as a

people is because come on, church, help me out.

I mean, seriously, you watch movies longer than I'm preaching

right now. I mean, where's your national

excitement? I'm not going to say pride, your

national excitement about this Kingdom that you live in because

the world's going to hell in a handbasket.

In one sense, all the nations are going to pass away.

We are a part of the only one that will exist forever and

never has suffered loss and there has an endurance till the

end. If you can't even endure to the

end of a sermon. I have a heck of a time when the

great deceptions are running upon us like never before and we

are in that day right now. So we have to be very attentive

to remind ourselves we are not of this world.

We are in another Kingdom and that Kingdom cannot be shaken.

And our king cannot be shaken, and his word cannot be shaken,

and his word is undaunted by any tactic of the devil.

We're to dominate. First Timothy 615 says Let me

tell you this, it is a false humility for you to keep

dragging yourself around like you some sorry no good nothing.

You were a sorry, no good nothing.

We were all destined for the lake of fire but God.

And the minute I confessed him as Lord, he made me a new

person. Now I will not cheapen this new

person and call them a ragtag, a piece of junk, not worthy of

something. He's like, how can you say

you're not worthy when you're now in Christ?

I've made you worthy. I've given you my righteousness.

Act like a child of God, man. And great humility is when you

yield and say, I'm just going to be exactly what God said.

I am. I am what I am by the grace of

God. That is humility.

That is not arrogance, that is not pride.

That is I am what I am by the grace of God.

I'm doing what I'm doing today because of but God made me new

and gave me His spirit and allowed me to overcome things at

my word to His word because His word said and I said what his

word said. I have no sin consciousness.

I have Christ consciousness. I am conscious of the fact I'm a

child of God. I've been delivered from that,

that shame from that guilt from that low standard of living.

I've been delivered from that and there's no shame in me being

a say, but my God said I will win.

My God said I will try, my God said, and I will because he has

whoa, glory to God, he who is blessed.

First Timothy 6:15 and only sovereign ruler, the King of

1 Timothy 6:15

kings and the Lord of Lords. Three more passages.

First Peter 29 But you are a chosen race, oh man, a royal

priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession.

Look what it does say. You are a chosen religion, you

are the chief religion, you are the greatest religion, you are

the only religion. No, you are the chosen.

Now listen, I understand religion by definition is a

belief system and pure and unfiled religion which is only

mentioned in James and then one other place.

So religion is not even a big word God used.

But what he was saying is if you have a belief system in the

Kingdom, then there should be some demonstrations of that

belief system. And you would take care of the

poor and the widow, the orphans and the widows.

But we're not chasing a religion.

We're yielded to a Kingdom. He says this in Revelation 21.

Again, going to the back of the book.

Again, we've gone through multiple scriptures and the city

has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the

glory of God is illuminated and it's lamp is the Lamb, and the

nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will

bring their glory into it. This is after the catching away

the church, after the millennial reign of Christ, after the

devils let go for a time and deceives the nation.

It's after that battle that he is then cast into the lake of

fire with a false prophet and the beast, which are just other

nations. And then it's after the great

white Throne judgment, and all those who did not call on the

name of the Lord to be saved will be cast into the lake of

fire, which is a second death. Then there'll be a new heaven

and a new earth. And he will that new Jerusalem

will come down out of heaven to the earth, and God will be among

men. And notice the kings of the

earth who are US will bring their glory into this new

Jerusalem. That's why Matthew 2414 and

we're living in this day says this, this gospel, not the

gospel to be born again, but the gospel of the Kingdom shall be

preached into the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and

then the end will come. Yes, you must be born again.

But why? It's not to go to heaven when

you die. It's so you can become a child

of God today. The gospel is not about a

destination after you die. It's about a destiny on earth.

Now, as a son of God, heaven comes as long as the Lord

remains there. And I'm going up to the heaven

one way or the other, either leaving my skin suit or I'm

changing the moment in the twinkling of an eye and I blast

up out of here at that trumpet. Either way, I'm going to go, but

I will return with Him. I'll be with him during the

millennial reign, and then I will stay with Him on this new

heaven and new earth. Hallelujah.

And if He deploys me to the ends of the universe on an assignment

for Him, so be it. But I'll be present with God and

it seems like he'll be present on the earth a lot and I'll be

with Him. And I'm very thankful for that.

Now, I know it's a little bit later, but you know, when you go

through the whole Bible, it takes a little time.

And again, if you want to, there are plenty of churches that will

stay on a 30 minute clock for you.

If that's all you can endure, you can go and be a part of

those churches. But we're here to raise

disciples, and if you are going to be a force for the Kingdom of

God, it's going to take a little bit more than two or three

scriptures and a bunch of anecdotal stories.

And I don't apologize for that, CJ.

You know, I don't apologize for that because we'll send our kids

to two hour practices multiple times during the week and then

won't let them come to youth service on Wednesday night

'cause they're tired. I'm talking to people in the

camera, not here, right? No Kingdom's the most part.

Seek first.
