Transcript
-
I want to talk to you about. World Peace today, World Peace.
-
It is what people want, Amen. And it is obtainable.
-
If you're in the right. Kingdom.
-
Amen. So turn.
-
Over to John chapter 16, verse 33.
-
Hallelujah, we are going to press.
-
Past. The stuffing today.
-
Amen. How?
-
Many you want to press past the. Stuffing today, praise the Lord
-
Jesus you know he went into some places and found that man he was
-
having some challenges ministering certain things so he
-
said man, I'm just going to teach and you know the.
-
Environment at the at. Churches are solely dependent,
-
not solely, but there is a dependency on it, on
-
expectation. Now the gifts can get in
-
operation despite you because they as the Spirit wills.
-
But the reason why the gifts get in operation is to build
-
expectation. Teaching is to build expectation
-
too, because when expectation is built, then all of a sudden
-
things can increase. And so, you know, we want to
-
have expectation. That's why hope's very
-
important. It's confident expectation.
-
All right. I, I, I never care a whole lot.
-
Because I'm not really a teacher, I'm apartment to teach.
-
The anointing in my life that God's placed on me as a gift
-
allows me to be able to step over in and teach.
-
Most of the time when people see my sermons or hear them, they
-
assume I'm a teacher just because I use so much scripture.
-
But the reality is it's of the. Fivefold offices.
-
It's the least. One that I tap into.
-
However, you know, at times we must because it's required to
-
build expectation. Amen.
-
Now when I received. This word, it was way more
-
exciting to me than the environment I'm in right now.
-
Amen. So I endeavor to believe we'll
-
get there, Praise the Lord. These things it says in John
-
1633. These are shouting.
-
Words right here. These things I've spoken to you
-
so that in me you may have have what in the world?
-
You'll have tribulation, but take.
-
Courage I have. Overcome the world.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. So in order to obtain World
-
Peace, we're going to have to. Think different.
-
Amen. Because he says now in me you
-
have peace in Christ that's in the king or in the Kingdom.
-
So there is a world you can tap into that has World Peace.
-
However, in this world, on planet Earth, in the systems
-
that are functioning today, he says.
-
You're going to have trials and tribulations.
-
You're going to have them. But take courage, he says.
-
Take courage because I've overcome.
-
Them I've overcome the world. Hallelujah.
-
Our king is the victor, I said. Our king is the victor.
-
The amplified reads it this way, he said.
-
I've told you these things so that in me you may have perfect
-
peace in the world. You have tribulation and
-
distress and suffering. But be courageous, Be confident.
-
Be undaunted. Be.
-
Filled with joy, I have overcome the world.
-
My conquest is accomplished, my victory abiding.
-
Man, that's pretty powerful. Hallelujah.
-
What encouraging words for us to have in the world today, the
-
amplified classic concerning I've overcome the world goes on
-
to expound and say it this way. I have deprived it of power to
-
harm you and have conquered it for you.
-
I have deprived it of power to harm you and have.
-
Conquered it for you. Hallelujah Brandon.
-
Text me during. Worship, he said.
-
How would you worship? If if the king was here, how
-
would you worship? He said because the.
-
King is coming. What would you look?
-
Like if the king was in the room.
-
What would he, what would you look like if you say, you know?
-
I'm almost convinced that with some believers today, they're
-
not going to have a revelation of Jesus anymore.
-
Till they see him again. Because in this world.
-
There's trouble. And if we?
-
Don't watch out. We focus on the trouble so much
-
that we lose our joy. We lose our ability to be on
-
undaunted, courageous. And you can tell it in attitude.
-
You can tell it in the way people handled themselves.
-
You can tell it in the way they come and worship before their.
-
King, you can tell it. Because and again, you know
-
people, you know, I get it. We struggle because we don't
-
want to be told what to do. But again, we're not telling you
-
what to do. We're letting you know what the
-
Bible says, how you can function that will release the things of
-
God in your life. Again, you can tell me about a
-
banana, but until I see that fruit meaning a banana is a
-
banana and and you don't reap any benefit till you hold it,
-
peel it. And eat it.
-
Now I can describe it to anyone, but there's no benefit to them
-
of the the banana till they receive it and enjoy its fruit.
-
God never intended for us to just talk about it.
-
We should be an example of the fruit of God through our people
-
should taste and see through our lives that he's good.
-
So you bring the fruit of the spirit with you today that
-
people around you to say, wow, I'm going to.
-
I'm tasting joy because it's coming up.
-
In you right now I. See it.
-
I can taste it in your life. I can see it on your
-
countenance. I can see perfect peace in your
-
life. I can see long-suffering
-
function in you. I can see self-control
-
happening. I can see kindness show up.
-
I can see goodness manifest. And you're tasting it from the
-
person sitting beside you, because they manifest.
-
It Amen. The fragrance of these fruits.
-
But in this world, man, he says, look man, I have overcome and
-
I've deprived him of its power to harm you.
-
I have conquered it for you. Now turn over to John chapter
John 17 chapter mention
-
17. John chapter 17, verses 13 to
-
20. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
-
He said, But now I come to you, this is Jesus speaking, and
-
these things I speak in the world so that they may.
-
Have my what joy made full in themselves.
-
So he's talking. About it in the current planet
-
you're living, but the systems of things that come against you
-
he says verse 14 he says I have given them your So if you're
-
going to have perfect peace you're going to have World Peace
-
then you have. To stay in the Kingdom.
-
And in order to stay in the Kingdom, you got to.
-
Abide in His word. But you can't abide in his word.
-
Biden in his in his word, is not reading his word alone.
-
It is reading his word for the purpose of applying that word
-
and functioning and causing that word to function and produce the
-
fruit of that word in your life. Because when you do that, you
-
can walk in perfect peace in the midst of storms, he said.
-
I've given you, given them your word, and the world has, because
-
they are not of this, not of the world, even as I.
-
Am not of the world. He goes, I do not ask you to
-
take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
-
They are not of the world, even even as I am not of the world.
-
Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth, man.
-
Look at verse 18. As You sent me into the world, I
-
also have sent them into the world.
-
For their sake I sanctify myself that they themselves also may be
-
what sanctified that means set apart in truth.
-
I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who
-
believe in me through their word.
-
Are you one of those who believe?
-
Are you one of those who believe and aren't you glad that they as
-
moved as the Holy Spirit moved upon them, pinned the things
-
that we read concerning the Scripture and it's caused faith
-
to rise up in us. We believe and we have also now
-
experienced we have the same spirit of faith.
-
We are stepped out into the Kingdom of God.
-
We've made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives because of what
-
they've spoken to us through a. Testimony.
-
Aren't you glad for that? Now let's go back and look at
-
this passage of scriptures and break it down just a little bit.
-
And notice that Jesus has this acknowledgement that they're in
-
a world they're not of. And we must view ourselves that
-
way because as long as we view ourselves as we are part of this
-
world, then we will not have World Peace.
-
Now we do try to obtain World Peace because in order to be at
-
peace with the world. Look at verse 14.
-
It tells us he said I've given them your and the world has Why
-
does the world hate them because they have his word.
-
So if you want to get at peace with the.
-
World let go of his. Word, which is why we have this
-
epidemic within the church that most people are not reading the
-
word and This is why they seem to navigate relatively peaceful
-
in this world. In order for you to live at
-
peace with the world, you'll have to abandon the word.
-
But now that means you're. Abandoning your nature now the.
-
World loves its own, but you understand the love they have
-
for each other is not like the love of God, because they love
-
you as long as they can use you as long as you.
-
Benefit them. Right.
-
I mean, there's no genuine. Affection.
-
It's all about self. OK, the lust of the flesh, the
-
lust of the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, but it's all
-
underneath this word called love that the world uses.
-
All right. However, when you have the word,
-
the world is going to hate you and you must be comfortable with
-
that. I said.
-
You must be. Comfortable with that?
-
Because God is saying, listen, it's the word that separates us
-
from the world. And if you're going to have my
-
peace or perfect peace, or you're going to have World
-
Peace, mean Kingdom peace, then you're going to have to abide in
-
his word. And he then reminds us, Now
-
listen, he says, they're not of the world as I'm.
-
Not of the world, because. Was Jesus a man of the Word?
-
Well, he is the Word. Is he not Hallelujah?
-
And he says, I'm not I, I'm not subject to this world system.
-
I don't do it that way. The the things that the enemy
-
does, the darkness that he has, I have no part of that and he
-
has no part in me. Jesus is light and the devil is
-
darkness and they are complete opposites.
-
All right. Then he goes on to say the power
-
of being able to have World Peace in our Kingdom.
-
He says do not, I do not ask you to take them out of the world.
-
So the word, the Lord's goal is not to fast track you to heaven.
-
The goal is just for you to remember what world you are.
-
Of and to abide there. Right, and if you will abide
-
with the word, then guess what the the Father will will keep
-
you from the evil one. Now that doesn't mean the evil
-
one will not show up on occasions.
-
And when I say that for many people, many Saints, honestly,
-
he probably never shows up in their life because he doesn't
-
have time. He's not taking time to deal
-
with every individual on the planet because most offer no
-
threat to his. Kingdom to his domain.
-
Again, when you when you still are having to deal with your own
-
flesh and it's conquering you and you haven't renewed your
-
mind to overcome the flesh. The devil does not have to show
-
up at your house because he is not omnipotent.
-
He doesn't know what you're doing.
-
He's we have placed the devil almost like an equality with
-
God, like he's all he doesn't even know that you exist unless
-
he shows up around you and he has no idea what you did last
-
week unless he was in your presence because he doesn't
-
function. That way.
-
Now God, that's a different. Story he knows.
-
The sum total of all that you would do before he even showed
-
up, your existence doesn't does. It is not required for God to
-
know everything about you, but the devil has to get around you,
-
or he has to get his spirits, those that are in his domain, to
-
come around you to find out anything about you to be able to
-
use it. Against you, all right.
-
But he says to keep you from the evil. 1 Then he says, verse 16
-
again, they are not of the world, even as I'm not of the
-
world. And what causes us not to be of
-
the world? Verse 17 Sanctify them in the
-
truth. Your word is is.
-
Truth. I said your word is.
-
Truth. Hallelujah.
-
So then he. Goes on and says, now listen,
-
they're going to be in the world, but they can't go into
-
the world any way they. Want they cannot.
-
Go in the world any way they want.
-
How do they go into the world then, that they're not of verse
-
18 as say, as as you. This is the Father as the
-
Father. Sent Jesus into the world.
-
I also have sent. Them into the world same way.
-
And and the Father has sent him into the world #1 full of power
-
with the Holy Ghost. Aren't you glad?
-
We have the Holy Ghost in US. Aren't you glad he's?
-
In US, and He can come upon us and we have His.
-
Power. Amen.
-
But. We also see how Jesus functioned
-
in the planet verse 19. He sanctified himself.
-
That means he set himself apart unto the Lord through truth or
-
the Word. He kept his mind set on the
-
Word. He let the word be the only
-
thing that navigated his choices.
-
And decisions and rule. His emotions, Hallelujah.
-
He always responded to situations through it is
-
written. He didn't hold his opinion on
-
the matter. He was like, Father, how do you
-
want me to address this situation and how he went into
-
the world doing that? He has sent us to be able to do
-
it as well because we have been given the Holy Spirit.
-
Amen. Now, with that being said, in
-
this world, we're going to have trials.
-
And tribulations there's going. To be problems.
-
Going to be conflict. There's world challenges, world
-
issues, world troubles. We have a transition right now
-
with our own government. There's a lot of stuff happening
-
over in the Middle East today. There's a lot of prophecies out
-
there, a lot of people trying to determine, you know, when the
-
return. Of the King.
-
Is and it's imminent. He is coming, I said.
-
The. King is coming.
-
In fact, this Sunday, most, most churches, a lot of churches are
-
celebrating the first Sunday of Advent.
-
Advent it means. The coming.
-
Of the Lord and the first couple of Sundays is to be focused on
-
the. Return of our king.
-
He's coming when he. Breaks through the clouds he's
-
going to come and set up his Kingdom at another time on the
-
planet so the first 2 are celebrate that then the last two
-
that goes up to Christmas then begins to reflect back of how he
-
came into the earth as a child to humanity and place us back in
-
the. Dominion that God originally
-
intended for us. Amen.
-
So the King is coming, and we've never been closer than we are.
-
Today, and it's very. Likely that it could happen in
-
your. Lifetime.
-
Amen. Now I know.
-
People have said that before. Even Paul believed that Jesus
-
would return in his lifetime. But somebody's right, 123123123
-
So since we're the closest, we might as well continue the
-
belief that he'll come in our lifetime, because if you do not.
-
Hold that then your existence. On the earth may not have the
-
effect it should. Have Hallelujah man, the King is
-
coming. And as much as that's going and
-
with all that's going on in the. World.
-
He. Said you can have peace because
-
I've overcome it. So I'm going to.
-
Leave you today with some scriptures to remind you that he
-
has overcome it. Let's look at this first one
-
here in Exodus. Oh my goodness.
-
The Lord shall reign forever and ever because He's overcome the
-
world. The Lord shall reign forever.
-
How long? Come on?
-
How long? How long is he going to reign
-
forever? Praise the Lord Psalms 146.
-
Verse 10. Psalms 146 verse. 10.
-
The Lord will reign forever your God, O Zion to all generations.
-
Praise the Lord. Now, Zion obviously is over in
-
Jerusalem, but yet scholars believe that the reference of
-
Zion also refers to the church we know.
-
Ultimately, there'll be a new. Heaven and a new earth.
-
And the Lord will reign forever. He'll reign forever, and I use
-
these first because most believe as believers that the Lord will.
-
Reign and yes, there. Is a coming reigning of the
-
Lord. There is a coming reigning of
-
the Lord where He will come and be physically present on the
-
planet. That is true, but there are some
-
things that he reigns. Now Amen.
-
Let's look at Psalms 47, Eight says God reigns over the
-
nation's. God sits on his holy throne.
-
Come on, can you get a mental? Picture with me right now.
-
Jesus currently is seated on a throne in heaven at the right
-
hand of the Father. He's seated, in fact, the Bible
-
tells us concerning his Father that he sits in the heavens and
-
laughs at all that the nations are doing because he knows I
-
reign. All your plans, all your ways of
-
doing things, all your ways of trying to kick me off the throne
-
will have no effect, will not work.
-
I am seated on the throne. I reign and God reigns where
-
over the nations. Well, what nations does he rule
-
over? All of them.
-
Ultimately there we call them superpowers.
-
There's your superpower. This is the superpower.
-
God reigns over the nations. God reigns over the nations.
-
Now again what do we do? People tend to think, well if
-
God is reigning, they use this word, then control.
-
Well God's in control of the nation.
-
No, he's not controlling those nation he rules over.
-
Them. And he will.
-
Allow man to do what man wants to do in his rebellion, and he
-
does this for. Season, and it is mercy.
-
Because he's giving them. He's long-suffering to give them
-
an opportunity to repent, to change, but ultimately he will
-
judge. Them and there's no.
-
Blood that has ever been or ever will be spilled on the planet
-
that the great Judge will not account.
-
For. There is no such thing as
-
injustice in the Kingdom. Of God, Hallelujah, nor on.
-
Planet Earth as regard to God, because God will cause all.
-
Things to come into judgment. Amen.
-
So he reigns over the nation. He sits on his holy throne.
-
Psalms 99.1. The Lord reigns.
-
The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble.
-
He is enthroned above the cherubim.
-
Let the earth shake. You know, we do a lot of
-
preaching concerning the salvation of man, and man needs
-
to be saved. Do a lot of preaching on the
-
Lamb that was slain and the Lamb was slain for the sins of all
-
humanity, but very few are aware of his reign and there is no
-
blind eye to God. He can be the Lamb, Lamb without
-
blemish because He is righteous and just.
-
In fact, one Scripture, and I don't believe I have it in this
-
particular service today, but the foundation of His throne is
-
righteousness and justice. It's the foundation.
-
The more we understand His reigning power, the opportunity
-
for the fear of the Lord is more ever present within us, because
-
when we only conclude He saved me, we don't always value that
-
properly and our lifestyles sometimes become a reflection of
-
that. Psalms 97.1 The Lord reigns.
-
You see the theme here. Let the earth rejoice.
-
Let the many islands be glad you know what?
-
All the earth is. Crying out for its own
-
redemption, every piece of land cannot wait for the King to come
-
back. Hallelujah.
-
I wonder if the earth has an expectation of the king.
-
More than we do. I wonder if the dirt that
-
doesn't have the spirit of man in it has more of an
-
expectation. Of the Lord than we do.
-
Because the earth cries out. It's looking for the redemption
-
of man for the sons of. God to be revealed.
-
Man Hallelujah Psalms. 9311 and. Two, the Lord reigns.
-
Hallelujah, the Lord reigns. He is clothed with majesty.
-
The Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength.
-
Indeed, the world is firmly. Established it will not be
-
moved. Your throne is established from.
-
Of old. You.
-
Are from everlasting. Natural governments have been
-
set up. And torn down.
-
But his Kingdom is forever. How?
-
Yeah. I mean, should the Lord Terry,
-
there may not be a China or North Korea.
-
I mean, Rome does not exist as it used to.
-
Are you hearing what I'm saying? Psalms 96. 10:00 and 11:00 says.
-
Stay among the. Nation, the Lord reigns indeed.
-
The world is firmly established. It will not be moved.
-
He will judge the people with equity, and he's the only
-
government who can. Let the heavens be glad, Let the
-
earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all it contain.
-
Nature is shouting for the reign of the king.
-
It declares its play, its praises to him.
-
Nature itself cries out. The Lord gave me this message
-
for next year. I can't even preach.
-
I'm like this is this is way too good for to just preach it by
-
itself. There's some things we need to
-
add as visual effects. I mean the earth is crying out.
-
It's giving him praise. I mean Jesus said if you all
-
praise me the rocks will cry out.
-
I mean, I get around some believers.
-
I'm thinking the rocks at their house is doing a better job at
-
praising God than they are. Whoo.
-
Man, don't go home and think, man, my rocks are praising.
-
Better than me. I got a lot of rocks at my.
-
House I actually have a lot of rocks at my house.
-
And I don't want to praise him better than I because they'll
-
cry out. Hallelujah.
-
But notice in verse 10 of Psalm 96 it says, say among the
-
nations the Lord reigns. This is the gospel.
-
The gospel is not limited to or reduced to.
-
Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave so that when you
-
call on his name, you'll be saved.
-
So that when you die, you'll. Go to heaven, that's not.
-
The gospel that is a. Piece of the Gospel.
-
The gospel is the Lord reigns, that His Kingdom is here.
-
The gospel of the Kingdom is the gospel Jesus preached.
-
And as a result of that, what was He letting them know?
-
I reign and I want you in my Kingdom.
-
I never wanted the earth to experience humanity outside of
-
my Kingdom. However, the earth experienced
-
humanity outside the Kingdom. And God had a plan of
-
redemption. To do what?
-
Get man back at the Kingdom, To get them back in their fit, to
-
be, get them back in their place.
-
And Jesus fulfilled that. He fulfilled it all.
-
Everything required to fulfill it, Jesus fulfilled it.
-
Not one thing went unfulfilled by Jesus.
-
Glory to God, He reigns. He reigns.
-
You know, again, sometimes if we just pick up certain words and
-
kind of recite them and let them get in our spirit, it'll get you
-
to shouting. The Lord reigns.
-
I mean, when you hear stuff in the Earth, you just got to say
-
all you have to do. Is say the Lord reigns, the Lord
-
reigns, the Lord reigns. He reigns over sickness and
-
disease. He reigns over inflation.
-
He reigns over depression. He reigns over broken marriages.
-
He reigns over lack. He reigns over a broken mind, a
-
broken heart. He reigns over every situation
-
you would ever go through should you yield to him and acknowledge
-
His Lordship. Amen.
-
I mean, it's easy for the believer to yield in the trials
-
and tribulation, meaning to overcome them the minute we
-
yield to His Lordship. Lord, how do you want me to
-
handle this? How do you want me to respond?
-
What do you want me to do now? If you have no scripture, you
-
don't have an answer. The word is the answer.
-
Hallelujah. So the earth is.
-
Crying out. Amen.
-
First Chronicles 163031 Let the heavens be glad, let the earth
-
rejoice, and let them say among the nations.
-
The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.
-
The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.
-
The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.
-
Man in this. Life you'll have trials and
-
tribulation, But be of good cheer.
-
He has overcome. Be undaunted, filled with joy.
-
Walk in perfect peace. Isaiah 52, seven says it this
-
way. How lovely.
-
On the mountain are the feet of him who brings good news, who
-
announces peace and brings good news of.
-
Happiness. What are they announcing?
-
Who announces salvation and says in in Zion?
-
What's the announcement of salvation?
-
Your God reigns. Hallelujah, the message.
-
Of salvation is your God reigns, Jesus reigns, the Lord reigns.
-
Isaiah 2423 Just trying to arm you.
-
Then the moon will be. Abashed and the sun ashamed.
-
For the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion.
-
And in Jerusalem and his. Glory will be.
-
Before his elders, my Mama. Is he setting up a Kingdom?
-
Will he come and reign forever? Luke 1:30.
-
Three, and he will reign over the House of Jacob Forever, and
-
his Kingdom will have. No end.
-
The king is coming. I said the king is.
-
Coming. The King is coming, and he
-
reigns. You know how many people in the
-
United States back in 2020 we're so excited for the inauguration?
-
Of President Joe Biden in January of 2021, you know how
-
many? People were excited, thrilled.
-
Elated couldn't wait. To see him inaugurated.
-
Put in office, become the. Supreme leader, we say of the
-
world, the leader of the world. You know how many people were
-
jacked, excited about that? Many people were.
-
Many people were. Equally, you know how many
-
people are excited for January of 2025 when Donald Trump gets
-
sworn in and inaugurated back into the White House?
-
You know he's going to be excited.
-
I mean, people have taken time to actually get on planes and go
-
to hotels or Airbnb and watch these events.
-
You know, how many people showed up when President Barack Obama
-
was inaugurated in and he was considered the first man of
-
color to be the president? How many people showed up and,
-
and, and watched the inauguration and were in awe
-
with anticipation? I mean, but here, what's our
-
anticipation of the return of our king, the one who reigns,
-
the one who sits on the thrall, the one who brings peace to
-
everyone, the one who conquers? I mean, what's the anticipation?
-
I mean, we look for one time events when yet you could come
-
and fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis.
-
But then corporately when we come to a Church of which He is
-
the head and we assemble together to be before the King
-
of Kings and the Lord of Lords who reigns in life and who will
-
communicate through his fivefold ministry and then through Saints
-
of how you can overcome in this life when you're dealing with
-
things that you can get in the environment of perfect peace,
-
you can get in the environment of unity, you can get an
-
environment where people are yielded and submitted to the
-
King. I mean, why would we not run to
-
that event be? Passionate about it?
-
He. Reigns First Corinthians 1520. 5
-
For he must reign until he puts. All his enemies under his feet.
-
God is so just. He's so just.
-
Hallelujah. Now we we are going to be led by
-
the Spirit. And minister on things the Lord
-
wants to say to His church. Justice is one of those things.
-
There's just not enough. Preaching on justice.
-
Those people are afraid. Of sounding like legalism, but
-
it's not legalism. It's a Kingdom that is just.
-
And God is just man. He's so amazing.
-
And but he's also equally merciful and long-suffering.
-
But there comes a day when mercy is moved aside.
-
The reason? Why mercy triumphs over justice
-
is because if you receive God's mercy.
-
Then you won't be. Judged and eternally separated,
-
if you'll take his mercy path, but if you do not taken Timothy
-
212. If we endure, we will also.
-
Reign with him. If we deny him, he will also
-
deny us. But if we endure, what will we
-
do now? I love.
-
This because the Lord reigns and.
-
What I love about this verse is that he has the invitation not
-
just to declare to you that he reigns.
-
But that you reign. Hallelujah.
-
So when you say the Lord reigns, and if you yield and are
-
submitted to his Lordship, you equally say.
-
Then I get to reign. And I get to reign in this life.
-
I don't have to reign until he comes.
-
I don't have to reign until the new heaven.
-
And I don't have to wait to reign until the new heaven and
-
new earth. We can begin to reign now
-
because we are Co laborers with him.
-
And in this world we can have perfect peace because the trials
-
and tribulations are something that are just going to, we're
-
going to go through. But we go through because we
-
have the champion, the one who's never lost a battle.
-
I said he's never lost a battle. Hallelujah.
-
Revelations 510 says this. You have made them to be a
-
Kingdom and priest to our God, and they will reign where so
-
reigning is not set. For heaven, reigning is set.
-
For once you believe Hallelujah and you can enter into that
-
world that has peace again. Many people stand up and say,
-
man, I want World Peace. And they hit.
-
Proud of champ, but you can't have World Peace in this world,
-
but you can have the Kingdom peace, which is a different
-
world. Jesus will establish ultimate
-
global peace in the. New heaven and the new earth.
-
And it. Will not come until then.
-
And when Jesus reigns from 4000 years, there will be a lot of
-
peace in the earth, but sin will still be here too, and He will
-
judge sin differently during that time.
-
Frame than he does currently. Hallelujah.
-
Revelations 1115. Then the seven angels sounded.
-
And there were loud voices. In heaven, saying the.
-
Kingdom of the World has. Become the Kingdom of our Lord.
-
And of his Christ and he. Will what?
-
Forever and ever. Don't know this.
-
It doesn't matter how many nations develop nuclear.
-
Power doesn't matter because our King and his Kingdom is taking
-
over the rest of the kingdoms. Hallelujah.
-
So don't be. Afraid.
-
That's why he says don't fear little flock, for my father has
-
chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.
-
If anyone on the planet should be exercising peace, it's us.
-
And you will when you keep the word.
-
In the midst of your life, I'm glad I could teach you this
-
morning. Revelation. 19/6 Revelation
-
19/6. Then I heard a sound.
-
Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, like
-
the sound of many waters, like the sound.
-
Of a mighty pills of Thunder, saying Hallelujah.
-
For the Lord our God the Almighty, come on, let's see, He
-
reigns. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
-
For the Lord Almighty reigns. For the Lord Almighty reigns, He
-
reigns. Now he's seated on the throne.
-
Two more. We're done.
-
Revelations 20, verse 6. Blessed and holy is the one who
-
has a part in the first resurrection over these the
-
second death. Has no power.
-
But they will be priests of. God and of Christ, that's the
-
King and will what reign? With him for 1000 years will
-
reign with him for a. 1000 years.
-
We get to reign right now in this life, then we get to reign
-
with him for 1000 years in the millennial reign, and then will
-
reign with him forever in the new.
-
Heaven and new earth. Where there will only be
-
righteousness, and sin will be no more.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Because we followed the
-
champion. Oh my goodness, we followed the
-
champion. Jesus Christ is king.
-
I mean, So what? So what about the world?
-
We pray, we do things that the Lord asks us to do.
-
We pray in line with his word. We, we speak, we are in faith,
-
we but ultimately our King has conquered.
-
He's overcome. He's given us the victory and
-
the power to overcome as well. We can have perfect peace even
-
in the midst of trials and tribulation, you understand, in
-
the world and with the world. And they hate us and we can
-
accept that. Let's quit having the hatred
-
within our own body. Let's end division and strife
-
within the church. Let's eradicate that.
-
Let's don't become the religious negligent, let's do not be the
-
deceived ones. Let's do not become the ones
-
that fall away because they lack being doers of the Word.
-
No, let's maintain the unity of peace among the brethren, and
-
let's be passionate to put down the flesh and to desire to only
-
want to be a doer of the Word. As the psalmist David said, he
-
said, man, if it had been my enemy, I could have handled it.
-
That's expected. But it was.
-
You. The one who used to.
-
Go with me in the House of the Lord, That's the greatest.
-
Betrayal. Why?
-
Because there's no reason nor excuse.
-
For us not to allow the reigning spirit.
-
To reign in US. And for us to be in perfect.
-
Peace with one another. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
Glory to God, and I believe God that He will come back for the
-
church that's without spot or wrinkle.
-
The ones. That are in perfect peace and
-
unity the ones that are. Functioning in the Word of God,
-
the ones that are putting down the flesh, the ones that are
-
renewing their minds, the ones that are.
-
Deciding that he is king, walking in the fear of the Lord,
-
having the wisdom of God. Walking in the knowledge.
-
Of God and keeping themselves in their fit and not let anything
-
take you away. From it.
-
Hallelujah. Think about it right now.
-
Who outside of this building? Right now what we would.
-
Consider the lost in Saint Augustine that is out there
-
attacking. US.
-
Where are they? They're not lined up now.
-
They showed up a little bit during COVID, but outside of
-
that, I mean, they're not standing out there trying to
-
keep you from coming in. Praise God hindering you.
-
This is why James said in his book.
-
He said listen, let's don't have any.
-
Quarrels among ourselves. Because when you have the
-
reigning spirit, it's easy to deny yourself and just do the
-
Word, because your spirit wants to do the Word is.
-
Passionate about the word? In fact, coming to church should
-
be the most blessed on an encouraging place you could ever
-
be. Yeah, because if you'll say is
-
the word being preached, is the Spirit of God moving?
-
Can I exercise my gifts? Man, it's a great place.
-
Now we're all being perfected. We're all being changed and
-
renewed and being adjusted and and growing.
-
That's true. But again, God was
-
long-suffering with Saji, long-suffering with me,
-
long-suffering with Marissa, long-suffering, you know, with
-
Tatias. And well, he's long-suffering.
-
So we can be long-suffering. We can be merciful, we can be
-
quick to forgive, which means it's the greatest place ever to
-
be. Because I'm around a bunch of
-
quick forgivers, merciful, long-suffering, compassionate
-
people that is there to help me grow and develop into all that
-
God wants me to be is the greatest place of.
-
Comfort. Where we can share with one
-
another the things of God, because our God.
-
Reigns, Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.
-
Now don't let the devil deceive you that the church is not alive
-
and well and doing good, because when he reigns, then he reigns
-
in how we do church. Here it is the Revelations 22.
-
Five, are you? Ready.
-
And there will. Will no longer be any night.
-
And they will not need the lamp of need, need of the light of
-
the lamp. Or the light of the.
-
Sun. Because.
-
The Lord God will illuminate them and they will reign forever
-
and ever. Now this is in the end, when the
-
new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, there's a new heaven and
-
new earth. God the Father will leave.
-
Heaven to come to earth. And reign with Christ on the
-
earth in Jerusalem, which will be the capital of all creation,
-
so that he can be with us. Oh my, so he can be with us.
-
And there'll be no sin. There'll be no sin.
-
The Earth will be perfect. I'm talking perfection of which.
-
No sin will ever show back up on it.
-
No issue will ever occur. No other rebellion will ever
-
happen for all eternity in this amazing This is the King that
-
sits on the throne today. He already reigns and has the
-
power to put everything back in this original intent that we who
-
have yielded to His Lordship perpetually are in awe of.
-
His power, His grace, His Majesty, His splendor, His
-
power, His justice, His kingship, man, we are going to
-
reign with him forever. And that's the world that
-
Abraham was looking for. That's the world Moses was
-
looking for. That's the world of all the
-
patriarchs. And the Old Covenant says they
-
were looking for a city, they were looking for a better world.
-
They were looking for a different place.
-
And into our dispensation, we are looking for a better place.
-
We know it's coming and it's going to be on this planet, but
-
it's going to take Jesus to do it.
-
And we get a piece of the peace now by being a keeper of his
-
word, walking in love, having unity, walking in the purpose
-
and plan of God in our life, not just being salvation people that
-
says, oh, I know where I'm going to go when I die.
-
I'm talking about people that are yielded 100% totally
-
submitted to the lordship of Jesus.
-
Christ bow not. Just in need, but in will, in
-
heart, in passion. That is an unstoppable force.
-
And that's the spirit God has put in us.
-
If you yield to it, it's the reigning spirit, because the
-
Lord, he reigns.
