Kingdom Everywhere

Hallelujah, Daniel chapter 2 verse 27 to 45.

Daniel 2:27–45

So if you know where I'm going, you ought to have a great shout

with you. OK?

Daniel answered before the king and said As for the mystery

about which the king has acquired, neither wise men,

right conjurors, magicians or diviners are able to declare it

to the king. However, there is a God in

heaven who reveals mysteries and he has made known to King

Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days.

This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on

your bed. Before I read verse 29 to bring

you up to speed, I don't want to assume everyone knows these are

not Bible stories. These are historical accounts

that actually happened. These people actually lived on

the planet. There's nothing within the

context of scripture that are actual stories.

They are not fairy tales. These are real people who lived

on the planet. These are actual bibliographies

of individual lives that Natural History can prove they existed

in the planet. So we are taking a history

lesson concerning a king that was over an empire called the

Babylonian Empire. And this Babylonian Empire was

literally just outside of modern day Baghdad.

Yet the Babylonian Empire went through all of our modern day

Iraq and into Iran. And there's things going on in

Iran today. Are you hearing me?

And so as a result of that, there's things that are

happening here that are being prophesied about things

happening later. And so Daniel's letting them

know that the there's a God in heaven that has revealed some

things. Now Nebuchadnezzar has a dream.

And because he's a liar, he's a manipulator, and he's disturbed

by this dream. He goes to his wise men and he

says, I've had a dream, I need you to interpret it.

And he wants accuracy, but he does not want people to lie to

him. And because he won't know, he

makes it very difficult. Or in in essence, he said, I

have a foolproof plan to make sure I get an accurate

interpretation. So he says, I need you to tell

me the dream. And the interpretation of which

his wise men said no king has ever asked this of a wise man.

You need to tell us the dream, and after you tell us the dream,

then we will give you the interpretation, he says.

I know you're stolen, he says. You'll get together, you'll come

up with a story, you'll collaborate.

All of you are going to agree on it, and I'm not going to know if

it's right or not. So you are either going to tell

me the dream and the interpretation.

If you do not every wise man will die in my Kingdom.

Once the king decrees it, it's done.

So he decreed. Well Daniel gets a knock on the

door from the executioner and cause Daniel was one of his wise

men along with his friends and he said I've come to arrest you,

you're going to be executed. He said what for?

Well the king had a dream. None of the wise men can

interpret it and so they have to know the dream and interpret a

dream that way. He knows it's accurate.

No one's doing it. So we're taking you to jail to

have you killed. He said tell the king I got it.

Now that's faith. Now what was he building his

faith on? Not on the king, but on his God

because he knew that my God is going to deliver us.

I have a delivering God. I may be in Babylon, I may be in

captivity, but we are going to get out of this place and I'm

not going to stay here forever. And I believe God will keep a

remnant and I'm in covenant with that God.

So we going to pray and ask God to give us this dream.

He said you let him know I got it and that's before he got it.

So he's goes to, as God says, we have to pray.

So they're praying and the Lord reveals to Daniel the dream and

the interpretation. And this is where we pick up in

Daniel chapter 2. Because if Daniel does not

Daniel 2 · chapter mention

fulfill it this way, he, his friends and everyone else will

be executed. The only thing that saves the

wise men from death is if you can tell him the dream and

interpret it. So verse 29, it says, As for

you, O King, wow, on your bed your thoughts turn to what would

take place in the future, safe future, and he who reveals

mysteries has made known to you what will take place.

But As for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me by any

wisdom residing in me more than any other living man, but for

the purpose of making the interpretation known to the King

and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

You, O King, were looking, and behold, there was a single great

statue. That statue was large, of

extraordinary splendor, and was standing in front of you, and

its appearance was awesome. The head of that statue was made

of gold, fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its

belly, its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of

iron and partly of clay. You continue looking on looking

until a stone was cut without hands, and it struck the statue

on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.

Then the iron and the clay and the bronze and the silver and

the gold were crushed all at the same time, and became like

chaffed from the summer threshing floor, and the wind

carried them away, Glory to God, so that not a trace, not a

trace, not a trace of them was found, but the stone, say the

stone, but the stone that struck the statue became a great

mountain and filled the whole earth.

Wow, glory to God, filled the hole, filled the hole, filled

the hole, filled the whole earth, glory to God.

This was the dream, right? And now we will tell us

interpretation before the king. Well, can you see King

Nebuchadnezzar right now on his throne?

He just leaned to the front of his seat.

It's like he was there. He knows it.

And now he's hanging on every word he says.

You, O king, he said, are the king of kings.

Now notice that's little K of little K's.

It's not big K, not capital K, not the king, just a king.

He's the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the

Kingdom the power and strength and glory.

And whatever the sons of men, and wherever the sons of men

dwell, or of the beasts of the field or of the birds of the

sky, He has given them into your hands and calls you to rule over

them. You are the head of gold.

After you there will rise another.

What? Another what?

Come on. Another what?

Another Kingdom inferior to you. Then another.

Then, then another third Kingdom of bronze, which will rule over

all the earth. Then there will be a fourth

Kingdom as strong as iron in so much as iron crushes and

shatters all things. So like iron that breaks in

pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.

In that you saw the feet and toes partly of pottery, clay,

and partly of iron. It will be divided.

It will be a divided Kingdom, but it will have in it the

toughness of iron, in so much as you saw the iron mixed with

common clay. As the toes of the feet are

partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the Kingdom

will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

And in that you saw the iron mix with common clay.

They will combine with one another in the seed of men, but

they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not

combine with pottery. In the days of those kings, the

king of heaven or the God of heaven will set up a what?

What will he do? He'll set up a Kingdom which

will never be destroyed, which will never be destroyed, and

that Kingdom will not be left for another people.

It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will

itself endure. How long?

Come on how long come on how long in so much as you saw that

a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands and it

crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the

gold. The great God has made known to

the king what will take place in the what in the what in the

future. So the dream is true and its

interpretation is trustworthy. Jesus said this in Matthew

Matthew 15 · chapter mention

chapter 15 verse three. He says, why do you transgress

the commandments of God for the sake of your traditions?

Why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake

of your tradition? Do you know?

Transgress is not the same as sin.

Transgress means you know and you don't do.

Sin means you're ignorant and you do wrong.

But a transgressor is someone who knows and chooses to rebel.

So he says why do you yourself choose to rebel knowingly the

command of God and yet live life governed by traditions.

This is very important because in our modern day Christianity,

especially in the West, we have developed some traditions and so

we have to be passionate to determine what is truth or

command of God and what has become just a religious

tradition. Are you hearing me now?

When I was young, I had 2020 vision.

I've kept that for a very long time.

Then iPads came out, you know, electronics.

And then I found that I could read everything from my iPad.

I cannot prove this, but you know, I speculate that because I

went to the digital device to read everything, it started to

affect my eyes a little bit. It could be H, you know, you

might want to blame it on H and maybe that's partly part of the

challenge as well. But I do think the light, you

know, why would we have the blue light on the glasses now?

The something must have been seen that was affecting the

eyesight. It's kind of hard to go away

from it now because you can keep so much resource on one thing.

I have so many Bible translations on this one device.

I, I could go run so many sermons right now that are right

here. I mean, from 2005, I have

messages on this device. I can go back 20 years from

today and say, what did I preach at Anchor Faith Church on this

day 20 years ago? I can do that.

OK, that's pretty powerful. But what happens is, is that I

can see just as you can see and I can see my iPad.

It's just that my font has grown since I have.

You know, if I went back in 2005, my font size was 8.

So all my sermons were always on one page.

I do it landscape, 2 columns. I don't know why I do that.

I just do that. Two columns, one page, right?

And they're eight. If I go to those, cannot see

them. It's just a blurb.

So I progressed to A10, to a 12. Now I'm at 14 today and I blow

it up as big as it can. It's still a little blurry but I

don't wear glasses while I preach because of the glare.

So that's why you don't see me in these cause oh that's clear I

can see that. Now what we need to do is we

need to get our lens set correctly with the Word of God,

because tradition will give you a blurred vision of God's Word.

However, knowing what the Word is actually about will give you

clarity. And when you get clarity, then

all the truths come alive off the pages and you'll realize

that there's a reason why God used people to pin an old

covenant. Tradition has us kind of

disdaining the old covenant as if it has no relevance.

Yet when you understand the Bible, you understand why it was

pinned. It is a natural progression

because it's God revealing himself to man.

You know, there are people out there that will say this.

The Bible's about Jesus, it's all about God.

And you know what? The Bible is about Jesus and

about God. But it's not all about that.

Actually, there is another one created that God is revealing in

Scripture besides Himself, and it is man.

It is man. The Bible's not about man or

it's not exclusively about man, but it includes man.

So God is allowing us to see Him and see what He meant for man.

Because you understand God has created other beings besides

man. He's created an angelic being.

He's created a heavenly host. And we know one anointed cherub

fell from heaven, but we don't have a whole lot of detail about

the existence of them. We have some things, you know,

that are out there, but not enough that we could accurately

understand that species of being that God has created.

But yet when it comes to man, he's given us a lot of detail, a

lot of detail, but he's also given us a lot of detail of

himself. So it's very important that we

understand why God has written scripture, what it's about,

Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar. This is a future event and his

idol is only about kingdoms and he's telling him that the God of

heaven is talking to you, Nebuchadnezzar, about kingdoms.

Notice God is not revealing to Nebuchadnezzar who did not

worship God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

He worshiped idols. Are you hearing me?

I mean, why would the Father not reveal to Nebuchadnezzar the

religion of Judaism if he wanted his heart changed?

Why does he reveal to him kingdoms?

And why does he say in the end that the God of heaven is

setting up a Kingdom? Notice what he did not say.

Nebuchadnezzar. There is a stone that is made

without hands. Anybody know who that is?

What's his name? He's called the chief

cornerstone. He is a stone made without

hands. Why?

Because man did not participate in causing Jesus to be born.

But it was the Holy Spirit who came upon on a virgin and

impregnated her with the Son of God.

Are you hearing me? So there was a stone made

without hands. He's the chief cornerstone.

And you know what it says about the chief cornerstone?

That he will fall on people and crush them to obliteration, or

you'll fall on him and he'll break you so that you can become

what God ordained you to be in the 1st place.

And notice there's this stone that is cut without hands, yet

once it crushes all the kingdoms.

You know what? That stone's really not even

concerned about religion. The stone doesn't even care

about Islam, doesn't care about Hinduism, didn't care about

Buddhists. But yet that stone will deal

with kingdoms same in any way, Hallelujah.

And so that stone crushes and it will cause every one of these

kingdoms to disappear, and they'll be no remembrance of

them. However, the stone, it says,

will grow into a large mountain and be all over the earth.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Now, this is in your Bible.

We're just probably in some places that most of the time

people aren't always covering right?

But this is a consistent theme, and what we want to see is that

if we're going to set the lens right to understand about the

death, burial, resurrection of Jesus and the reason why he's

doing something, then we need to understand what God's doing with

the Word of God. Because this Bible is not just

about redemption. If all you do is start at

Genesis 3 and go to Revelations 20, then the story of redemption

is really clear. But what was going on in planet

Earth prior to Adam falling is there?

And anyone, if you would talk to them as a believer, say, was

there a time on this planet that sin was not here?

And we would all have to say, well, sure, Adam and Eve in the

garden. Yet our conversation is only

about redemption and not about the time prior.

Nor do we take the time to read Revelation 21 and 22.

Because Daniel says this mountain's going to show up or

this rock's going to show up. It's going to crush all these

kingdoms and it's going to stay and then grow as a mountain and

feel the earth and through the story of redemption because we

haven't set the correct lens. We are all waiting to go to

heaven when we die. Yet the Lord says, but there's

something happening in the earth.

Now, does heaven exist? You bet it does.

But if you read the last two chapters again, don't take my

word for it 'cause I'm saying it.

Read the Scripture yourself. After the catching away of the

church, after the tribulation period, after the return of

Jesus who comes back to planet earth and reigns on the earth

for 1000 years, we call it the millennial reign of Christ.

Then he will release the devil After that time period, for a

time there will be a battle that won't last long, and after that

battle he will take the devil. And they throw him into the lake

of fire, which is the second death.

Then the courtroom of heaven will open up, and the dead who

never confessed Christ as Lord will be resurrected.

He'll resurrect the dead, bring them to heaven.

They'll stand before the courtroom of God and he will

say, depart from me, for I never knew you.

I'm giving you what you wanted. This is not what I wanted, but

in this book called the Lamb's Book of life cannot find your

name. So I'm shutting this one and I'm

opening up the other books, every book that has everything

that you've done against my word.

Now, let me help you because I said, Lord, it's a tough sell

sometimes, Dad, to talk about. We need to follow you at your

word because we in the US, we are stubborn people.

Now, why do I say that? Because our nation has ingrained

in us the spirit of independence.

I can do what I want to do, live like I want to live, excel like

I want to excel. Well, you can do that in the

United States, but you cannot do that in the Kingdom of God.

And so I'm like, how do you, how do I say it, Lord?

Because your life, he said, OK, he said just do it like this,

son. So today take a deep breath in,

let it out. Deep breath in.

Hold it. Let it out.

Now, I do not know the chemical makeup of the oxygen we have,

but there's a lot of oxygen going on.

There's a few other things, but this mixture is perfect for us

to live. Correct.

Let's do it again. Ready.

Breathe out. Now.

What happens if we lose this oxygen?

What happens if we lose this oxygen?

You what? OK, so your body is telling you

if you want to live, you need oxygen.

Now it's not saying it, but it's saying it by the fact you're

breathing. Now could you say body don't

tell me I have to breathe oxygen.

I can breathe whatever I want to breathe, you know, So I'm going

to go get some, you know, nitrous oxide.

I'm going to get some whatever other gas.

You know, we get all kind of got helium.

I'm going to suck some helium. I'm just going to put a helium

tank and just, and then you'll talk real high for a little

while and you just keep breathing and never go back to

oxygen. What's going to happen?

Are you putting gas in your lungs?

But what's going to happen if all you do is breathe helium or

any other form of gas? Like how about natural gas,

propane, hook up a little propane tank, right?

You got your little propane tank you carry around.

I'm rebelling against oxygen. My body.

Don't tell me I'll breathe what I want to breathe.

And so I'm a hook up my little propane tank and put it on my

face and start breathing. How long you think you're going

to survive sucking down propane gas?

Right, 'cause you can. So the Lord's saying you can do

whatever you want to do, you can.

But anything that I'm not saying isn't life.

The greatest deception in planet Earth is breathing.

Because you're breathing, you think you're alive.

The reality is life comes in the spirit and life only comes in

the spirit obedient to what the Lord says because he is life.

So when he says he's not giving you restrictions, he's saying

suck on some oxygen. When he defines terms, he's

communicating here is oxygen to your spirit.

This is why you live. These things are why you live.

If you obey this is he said I set before you life and choose

he shouldn't have to tell us. So when you're arguing, well,

I'm not going to do what the Lord says then you choose to

hook up propane to your mouth and you can suck propane because

every one of us and he think about it.

Let's just break it down to its rudimentary thought.

Do you want me to believe you at your word concerning how to

live? Or am I going to believe God at

His word? Because at the end of the day,

it's really just about believing people at their word.

Well, I just think, OK, so you want me to bow down to that

word? Your whole life is about

following some word. You're submitting to something.

Anyway, when we get into sexual relationships, our body says all

this feels good. So then we submit to that.

Yet God says if you want a particular feeling physically

through sexuality, this is life and you can do it this way and

it's oxygen to you, but if you do it any other way, it's death.

And here's the thing, God is such a merciful God and

long-suffering because if sin paid out quickly, lest would do

it. But God's merciful.

And why is God merciful? Because he's already paid the

price for everything you're doing.

Contrary to His word, the blood's already been applied, so

it doesn't matter how much you're doing.

He's like, I've already paid for this, I've already paid for

that, and he can be long summer and say, are you going to do

something else wrong? You want to do something else

contrary to my word, You want to make another decision that's

against the Kingdom of God. You want to do another thing and

choose death. You can.

But all the while, every time you do, I've already paid that

price and I'll forgive you if you want it, and then I'll give

you life and I'll give it to you more abundantly.

So the Lord speaks to Nebuchadnezzar and says a

Kingdom, it's coming forever. He did not speak to Him about

religion at all. Let's turn over to Isaiah

Isaiah 9 · chapter mention

Chapter 9 and verse 6. Isaiah Chapter 9, verse 6, I'll

Isaiah 9:6

say this and then we'll kind of get to a speed round real quick.

Isaiah Chapter 9 verse six and seven says it this way.

Isaiah 9 · chapter mention

Because there's a stone made without hands.

We know His name's Jesus. He is the chief cornerstone.

Isaiah Chapter 9 verse 6 says this.

Isaiah 9:6

A child will be born, right? I said a child will be born to

us. A son will be given to us.

Notice a child's born, but a son is not born.

And the reason the son is not born is because the Son always

existed because God left His glory.

Man, you want to be here. Resurrection Sunday.

God left His glory and came and became a man and he has to be a

man. He has to come and be a man

because what God has spoken in Genesis chapter one, it says

then a child will be born to us, a son will be given and the what

and the what? Go ahead.

Look at your own Bible. Look at your own translation,

because it doesn't say and Christianity it doesn't say and

a new religion. No, it says the government.

Why? Because the Bible is actually

about a king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring, and 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 or peace on the throne of David are

over his what? To establish it, to uphold it

with justice and righteous from then on and forever more.

Do you understand God is a just God and he is a righteous God.

He's life and he upholds life period says the zeal of the Lord

of hosts will accomplish this. So the government will rest on

his shoulders. Jesus Christ is the head of the

church. The Bible tells us the shoulders

are located in the body. We are considered the body of

Christ. So God's Kingdom is being

demonstrated through his church in the earth today.

We are actually more in what would be considered an embassy

because what did we, what do we know?

The scripture says Jesus says you're not of this world as I'm

not of this world. In essence, he said this in

Colossians, that he transferred you out of the domain of

darkness into the Kingdom of his beloved Son.

He said He would make you a holy nation.

In essence, you are of a different Kingdom now and the

kingdoms of this world we are not a part of.

So when we come together in the church, we are ambassadors, oh

get this, we are ambassadors for Christ, hearing from the home

country called heaven, where our King sits on the throne at the

right hand of the Father, and He gives us instruction through His

Spirit how we are to navigate and represent His Kingdom right

here on the earth. Hallelujah.

So there'll be no end to the increase of his government.

Who is the child born? What's his name?

Come on, shout it out. His name's Jesus.

And when Jesus came, Jesus preached one thing.

Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Jesus never preached publicly. Be born again.

Do you have to be born again? Absolutely.

Jesus told a religious man by the name of Nicodemus at 2:00 or

3:00 in the morning because he was afraid of the religious,

although he was in awe of Jesus. And he says man, Teacher, John,

John 3 · chapter mention

Chapter 3. Teacher, teacher, teacher, the

things you're doing, you have to be from God, He said.

Unless a man's born again, he shall not see the Kingdom of

God, He shall not enter the Kingdom of God.

Because This is why nobody can be a citizen of the Kingdom

illegally. They cannot buy their

citizenship of their own merit. They must be born of the Kingdom

of God and Jesus through his death, burial, resurrection

gives us the entitlement, the ability to call on His name and

be born. Literal translation from above,

which then gets our name logged in a book.

Much like you have your name logged in a book from the nation

you were born from. If you were born in the United

States, your name was recorded on a birth certificate and later

on they'll and they give you what they call a Social Security

number. That's your identification that

allows us to know that you were born of this particular nation.

Well, the Lord's like I need you born in my nation and the only

way you can be born in my nation is to acknowledge my son as

Lord. Lord is not a religious word.

It means supreme in authority. And The thing is, is in the

United States, we have been so brainwashed with separation of

church and state that we cannot see the church as a government.

We only see it as a religion. And that's what the devil wants.

The devil never wants you empowered in his Kingdom.

He wants you always seeking after God.

In fact, let me read a few things that Doctor Miles Monroe

said concerning religion and Kingdom.

He said this religion preoccupies man until he finds

the Kingdom. Religion prepares man to leave

Earth, but the Kingdom empowers man to dominate Earth.

Religion focuses on heaven. The Kingdom focuses on earth.

Religion is reaching up to God. The Kingdom is God coming down

to man. Religion wants to escape the

earth. The Kingdom impacts, influences,

and changes the earth. Religion seeks to take earth to

heaven, but the Kingdom seeks to bring heaven to earth.

What did Jesus say? He said, now when you pray, pray

this way. Our Whose Father?

Our our Father, not his Father. Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be your name, your Kingdom, your will be on as it

is. Now listen.

I know what you're thinking because I can hear it in your

mind. You're telling us we don't need

to go to heaven. No one's saying that.

The Bible says this to be absent from the body.

You'll be present. Where is the Lord presently?

At the right hand. The Father question is he

staying there though? We have been so traditionally

taught about the blood of Jesus in our nation so much that our

only accepted truth is that we have accepted the tagline of

every other religion and every other religion.

Is this what happens after you die?

What would propel a man to suit himself up with a bomb, go into

a public place and blow himself up based upon a religion because

of what's being promised to him after he dies?

What would cause a person to separate from society and go up

on a hill and pray to a point that they ostracize themselves

from society in order to reach a state of enlightenment somewhere

other than when they? What would call someone to live

in such a way so that when they are when they die, they do not

get re carnated into something back into the planet, but they

get to go on into that place of enlightenment so they do not

have to repeat this process. It's all the same question.

Where are you going to go when you die?

And we have picked up that religious statement where you

going to go when you die? And Jesus is like, why are you

centering my gospel on death, my gospel's life?

Jesus never preached. Did he preach on the the Sermon

on the Mount? Where are you going to go when

you die? He did not do this.

He said the Kingdom of heaven and when he went around public,

he said the Kingdom of heaven was like this and the Kingdom of

God is like that and the Kingdom of heaven is like this and the

Kingdom of God is like that. He said the Kingdom of heaven is

like and unto you know what? The devil knows this about a

Kingdom. Turn over to Luke chapter 4.

Luke 4 · chapter mention

In Luke chapter 4, this is the temptation of Christ.

Luke 4 · chapter mention

We typically read Matthew because it's the first of the

four gospels, but the Luke account gives us way more detail

and it says in Luke chapter 4 verse one and two, it says Jesus

Luke 4 · chapter mention

full of the Holy Spirit. What was he full of?

What was he full of man? He's full of the Holy Spirit,

full of the Holy Spirit return. He's full of the Holy Spirit

because he was just baptized in the Jordan River where God, when

he came up out of that because he said John do permit this, do

this so that all righteousness can be fulfilled.

I read about this in the old covenant, that this would happen

to me, and I do everything Dad says about me.

And so I'm going to obey my father.

I'm not going to be like my older brother when he say older.

That's older in the flesh, not older in eternity.

You understand, my older, the first Adam who did not obey

that. I'm going to obey that.

I'm going to do what he says. And when he came up by that

water, heaven opened up, and the voice from heaven, Father God

him said, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased.

Now he's full of the Holy Ghost, and he has the Holy Ghost

without measure. He returned from Jordan, was led

by that spirit into the wilderness for 40 days, being

tempted by the devil. You know what the devil says to

him first, if you are the Son of God, my daddy just told me I

was. Now how many times you come to

church and you hear you're healed, you're blessed, God will

deliver you out all your trouble.

And then you get out and the devil says you're not going to

get out of trouble, you're not blessed.

And you know what? You got a cold and you're going

to keep it. It's probably going to get

worse. Well, you got to decide who's

reporting you going to believe. Jesus chose to believe his

father's voice over the devil's voice.

And unlike his brother Adam who listened to the voice of the

devil and fell from dominion, Jesus said I'll stay with daddy.

So we jump down into verse 5, I believe it is, and it says the

devil LED Jesus up and showed him all the what not religions.

The devil never once tried to convince Jesus to worship the

gods of Rome, of the Roman Empire.

He never once tried to get him to worship the gods of the

former Greek Empire. He never once tried to bring up

some old statue or idol. He said he showed him all the

kingdoms in the world in the moment of time.

And he said, and the devil said to him, I will give you all this

domain and its glory. Who's going to give it?

Now the first question of the unlearned in Scripture will say,

well, he didn't own it. God's in control.

God was not in control there. God is in control of his word.

He's not controlling everything because if God controlled

everything, all of you would be saved because God's desires that

none would perish, yet people will be cast into the lake of

fire. So when we make these

traditional statement, well, God's in control, there are some

things God is not controlling so that therefore then he is not in

control of those things. That is a traditional statement,

not a biblical one. We had, let me smile when I say

that is a traditional statement, not a biblical one, Amen.

And we tear down tradition and live according to the word of

God, Amen. Because if God was in control,

Lucifer never would have been cast out.

I mean, I could just continue that list.

It's pretty simple, but he people will say, well, you know,

he couldn't really give it away. Yes, he could.

He had it and he didn't qualifies why he has it.

Look what it says next for it has been handed over to me.

So the devil is letting Jesus know all this domain, all the

authority and power over all these kingdoms.

They're mine, you know they're mine, and you know I control it

because they were handed to me. I didn't steal them.

They were given to me, and I can give it to whomever I will.

What's he saying? They were given to me and now

they're mine and I can give it to you.

Now here's the requirement. All you have to do is worship me

and I'll give them because Lucifer's only had one thought.

I won't God the Creator to bow down and worship the created.

And you remember what Jesus said about this?

He said I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

When that rebellion, because in a Kingdom the most dangerous

word is independence. The second most dangerous word

is rebellion. Now this is the problem in the

United States. Why?

Because what day do what do we celebrate?

January, July 4th, Independence Day?

I'm worship God anyway. I want to how I want to.

Well, that makes great sense in our nation, but it doesn't make

sense in the Bible because the Bible says, well, if you're

going to worship the creator of heaven and earth, this is how

you worship him. This is how that works.

This is how you do it because remember, I just want to give

you oxygen. Get off the propane, get off the

propane, cause the propane does not sustain life.

But his he's is the sustainer of life.

So he says, I can give you all this domain, these kingdoms,

this glory, for they've been handed over me.

Where did he get it from? Come on, you know where He got

it from? Genesis 126, before sin ever

came into the planet. God creates the heavens and the

earth. He owns the planet by right of

creation, not by right of conquest.

God didn't come out of the some future universe or some, you

know, distant universe, some Galaxy far, far, far away and

showed up into the Milky Way and says, ah, I'm going to conquer

this place. No, when there was none, he

spoke. Whoa.

I mean, he set the stars and the galaxies and the planets and a

word. He's a sustainer of life.

And he created this place called Earth with somebody in mind,

someone in his image. Look at this Genesis 126, You

know, then God said let us make man in our image according to

our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the

sea, over the birds of the sky, over the cattle, over all the

earth, over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

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

He created him male and He created him and he never gets

that wrong. Never, never gets that wrong.

OK, so God created both male and female would have dominion.

You understand, You don't have to be a female trying to act

like a man to have dominion because female have dominion.

And you don't have to be a man trying to act like a female to

have dominion because men have dominion.

Both were given dominion, power, authority, and it comes from

God, by God. God is so secure in his

rulership that he says I'll let you rule.

And so the Lord makes heaven and earth, earth.

He says, I'm giving to man. I'm going to let man who's in my

image, in my likeness, I'm going to let him rule.

That and I, he came down in the cool of the day.

He spent time with him. Why?

Because God and Adam and Eve are the same in nature, no sin.

But man was given the right to rule.

Notice he did not give Adam a religion.

He gave him governing power. Now you know why we struggle

with voting for people. Put that back up there.

OK, you already got it. Notice what we have dominion

over. Fish, birds, cattle, Earth,

which is the created earth, right?

Creeping things that creep on the earth.

Nowhere does it say we have dominion over man.

This is why we struggle in voting, because we were never

supposed to be submitted to another human.

We were only supposed to be submitted to God.

However, because man has sinned, God had to institute a form of

government through man still for the sake of man.

That's why there were laws put in place things because God had

a time on planet Earth when he just let man make his own

decision. Oh, it went crazy all right.

So crazy that he flooded the planet, right?

So crazy that he said, I regret I even made them because none of

them are doing right. No one's trying to come except

for one guy with a family. And so he went to that family to

help the process. And why does he have to do this?

Because we know that God in Genesis 2 tells Adam, Hey, Adam,

I'm going to shut down with a few thoughts here, and then

we'll come back to it next week. Adam, all the trees you can eat.

But if the tree, the knowledge of goodness, you shall not eat,

for the day you eat you will, surely you're going to die.

Does God want Adam to die? If Adam never eats the fruit,

where would he be today? He'd be right here now.

I've heard people say. So why did he put the tree

there? Free will is 1 #2 though he

needs to know Adam loves him. Love is always expressed and

demonstrated through obedience. Jesus said if you love me,

you'll keep my word. So Adam is in the nature of God,

Eve is in the nature of God. How would he not love him?

It requires him to obey. And every day he passed that

garden. God is not intimidated that it's

in the middle. He didn't hide it off into

obscurity somewhere where he had to go find it.

He let him pass it every day. He had no problem because all

you got to do is keep my word. It's really no threat to you.

Just keep the words. No threat to you.

But someone entered a garden, Anointed cherub that fell when

he came into the garden. He says who those people look a

lot like God. And so he began to speak to 1

and he convinced her and him that this God that walks with

you in the cool of the day, you really don't know him like I do.

And although there's no evidence to suggest the lies he is

saying, they listened to his word instead of the Father.

And the Bible says that she ate and gave to her husband, and he

ate, and when he ate, he transferred that dominion to the

devil, of which Second Corinthians full force says he

became the God of this world. And even the devil knows this.

The Bible's about a king, his Kingdom, and his royal

offspring. If he can keep you in religion,

then you'll never challenge his dominion.

You'll never challenge him. Because when you know you're a

child of the king, and that your king has stripped him of his

power and has restored back to you the dominion Adam lost, then

the devil will never be a problem to you ever again.

Because when he brings his weapons, they won't prosper.

When he brings his tactics, you'll be aware of them and

you'll just stay with the Word and overcome because Christ has

defeated him. The Bible's about a king, his

Kingdom, and his royal offspring.

It's not a religion and this Kingdom will have no end.

I said I have no end. I said it, I have no end.

I said it, I have no end, It have no end.

I'm not offering you a religion, and neither was Jesus.

I'm offering you a nation, and I'll just be as bold to tell you

like it is. It's a global takeover.

Can I tell you the United States will not be here forever?

Canada will not be here forever. Russia will not be here forever.

China will not be here forever. They will all pass away.

But his Kingdom, there is a nation that will remain forever.

It's called Israel, and the new Jerusalem will come down out of

heaven to the earth, and we will reign with Him forever because

we are His children. We've called on His name, we

have submitted to His Lordship. We have hooked our spirit up to

life. We are off the propane and we're

like Lord, like Peter. Where are we going to go?

You have the words of life.
