  1. I want to talk to you about. World Peace today, World Peace.

  2. It is what people want, Amen. And it is obtainable.

  3. If you're in the right. Kingdom.

  4. Amen. So turn.

  5. Over to John chapter 16, verse 33.

    John 16:33

  6. Hallelujah, we are going to press.

  7. Past. The stuffing today.

  8. Amen. How?

  9. Many you want to press past the. Stuffing today, praise the Lord

  10. Jesus you know he went into some places and found that man he was

  11. having some challenges ministering certain things so he

  12. said man, I'm just going to teach and you know the.

  13. Environment at the at. Churches are solely dependent,

  14. not solely, but there is a dependency on it, on

  15. expectation. Now the gifts can get in

  16. operation despite you because they as the Spirit wills.

  17. But the reason why the gifts get in operation is to build

  18. expectation. Teaching is to build expectation

  19. too, because when expectation is built, then all of a sudden

  20. things can increase. And so, you know, we want to

  21. have expectation. That's why hope's very

  22. important. It's confident expectation.

  23. All right. I, I, I never care a whole lot.

  24. Because I'm not really a teacher, I'm apartment to teach.

  25. The anointing in my life that God's placed on me as a gift

  26. allows me to be able to step over in and teach.

  27. Most of the time when people see my sermons or hear them, they

  28. assume I'm a teacher just because I use so much scripture.

  29. But the reality is it's of the. Fivefold offices.

  30. It's the least. One that I tap into.

  31. However, you know, at times we must because it's required to

  32. build expectation. Amen.

  33. Now when I received. This word, it was way more

  34. exciting to me than the environment I'm in right now.

  35. Amen. So I endeavor to believe we'll

  36. get there, Praise the Lord. These things it says in John

  37. 1633. These are shouting.

  38. Words right here. These things I've spoken to you

  39. so that in me you may have have what in the world?

  40. You'll have tribulation, but take.

  41. Courage I have. Overcome the world.

  42. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  43. Amen. So in order to obtain World

  44. Peace, we're going to have to. Think different.

  45. Amen. Because he says now in me you

  46. have peace in Christ that's in the king or in the Kingdom.

  47. So there is a world you can tap into that has World Peace.

  48. However, in this world, on planet Earth, in the systems

  49. that are functioning today, he says.

  50. You're going to have trials and tribulations.

  51. You're going to have them. But take courage, he says.

  52. Take courage because I've overcome.

  53. Them I've overcome the world. Hallelujah.

  54. Our king is the victor, I said. Our king is the victor.

  55. The amplified reads it this way, he said.

  56. I've told you these things so that in me you may have perfect

  57. peace in the world. You have tribulation and

  58. distress and suffering. But be courageous, Be confident.

  59. Be undaunted. Be.

  60. Filled with joy, I have overcome the world.

  61. My conquest is accomplished, my victory abiding.

  62. Man, that's pretty powerful. Hallelujah.

  63. What encouraging words for us to have in the world today, the

  64. amplified classic concerning I've overcome the world goes on

  65. to expound and say it this way. I have deprived it of power to

  66. harm you and have conquered it for you.

  67. I have deprived it of power to harm you and have.

  68. Conquered it for you. Hallelujah Brandon.

  69. Text me during. Worship, he said.

  70. How would you worship? If if the king was here, how

  71. would you worship? He said because the.

  72. King is coming. What would you look?

  73. Like if the king was in the room.

  74. What would he, what would you look like if you say, you know?

  75. I'm almost convinced that with some believers today, they're

  76. not going to have a revelation of Jesus anymore.

  77. Till they see him again. Because in this world.

  78. There's trouble. And if we?

  79. Don't watch out. We focus on the trouble so much

  80. that we lose our joy. We lose our ability to be on

  81. undaunted, courageous. And you can tell it in attitude.

  82. You can tell it in the way people handled themselves.

  83. You can tell it in the way they come and worship before their.

  84. King, you can tell it. Because and again, you know

  85. people, you know, I get it. We struggle because we don't

  86. want to be told what to do. But again, we're not telling you

  87. what to do. We're letting you know what the

  88. Bible says, how you can function that will release the things of

  89. God in your life. Again, you can tell me about a

  90. banana, but until I see that fruit meaning a banana is a

  91. banana and and you don't reap any benefit till you hold it,

  92. peel it. And eat it.

  93. Now I can describe it to anyone, but there's no benefit to them

  94. of the the banana till they receive it and enjoy its fruit.

  95. God never intended for us to just talk about it.

  96. We should be an example of the fruit of God through our people

  97. should taste and see through our lives that he's good.

  98. So you bring the fruit of the spirit with you today that

  99. people around you to say, wow, I'm going to.

  100. I'm tasting joy because it's coming up.

  101. In you right now I. See it.

  102. I can taste it in your life. I can see it on your

  103. countenance. I can see perfect peace in your

  104. life. I can see long-suffering

  105. function in you. I can see self-control

  106. happening. I can see kindness show up.

  107. I can see goodness manifest. And you're tasting it from the

  108. person sitting beside you, because they manifest.

  109. It Amen. The fragrance of these fruits.

  110. But in this world, man, he says, look man, I have overcome and

  111. I've deprived him of its power to harm you.

  112. I have conquered it for you. Now turn over to John chapter

    John 17 chapter mention

  113. 17. John chapter 17, verses 13 to

    John 17:13–20

  114. 20. Hallelujah.

  115. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

  116. He said, But now I come to you, this is Jesus speaking, and

  117. these things I speak in the world so that they may.

  118. Have my what joy made full in themselves.

  119. So he's talking. About it in the current planet

  120. you're living, but the systems of things that come against you

  121. he says verse 14 he says I have given them your So if you're

  122. going to have perfect peace you're going to have World Peace

  123. then you have. To stay in the Kingdom.

  124. And in order to stay in the Kingdom, you got to.

  125. Abide in His word. But you can't abide in his word.

  126. Biden in his in his word, is not reading his word alone.

  127. It is reading his word for the purpose of applying that word

  128. and functioning and causing that word to function and produce the

  129. fruit of that word in your life. Because when you do that, you

  130. can walk in perfect peace in the midst of storms, he said.

  131. I've given you, given them your word, and the world has, because

  132. they are not of this, not of the world, even as I.

  133. Am not of the world. He goes, I do not ask you to

  134. take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.

  135. They are not of the world, even even as I am not of the world.

  136. Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth, man.

  137. Look at verse 18. As You sent me into the world, I

  138. also have sent them into the world.

  139. For their sake I sanctify myself that they themselves also may be

  140. what sanctified that means set apart in truth.

  141. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who

  142. believe in me through their word.

  143. Are you one of those who believe?

  144. Are you one of those who believe and aren't you glad that they as

  145. moved as the Holy Spirit moved upon them, pinned the things

  146. that we read concerning the Scripture and it's caused faith

  147. to rise up in us. We believe and we have also now

  148. experienced we have the same spirit of faith.

  149. We are stepped out into the Kingdom of God.

  150. We've made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives because of what

  151. they've spoken to us through a. Testimony.

  152. Aren't you glad for that? Now let's go back and look at

  153. this passage of scriptures and break it down just a little bit.

  154. And notice that Jesus has this acknowledgement that they're in

  155. a world they're not of. And we must view ourselves that

  156. way because as long as we view ourselves as we are part of this

  157. world, then we will not have World Peace.

  158. Now we do try to obtain World Peace because in order to be at

  159. peace with the world. Look at verse 14.

  160. It tells us he said I've given them your and the world has Why

  161. does the world hate them because they have his word.

  162. So if you want to get at peace with the.

  163. World let go of his. Word, which is why we have this

  164. epidemic within the church that most people are not reading the

  165. word and This is why they seem to navigate relatively peaceful

  166. in this world. In order for you to live at

  167. peace with the world, you'll have to abandon the word.

  168. But now that means you're. Abandoning your nature now the.

  169. World loves its own, but you understand the love they have

  170. for each other is not like the love of God, because they love

  171. you as long as they can use you as long as you.

  172. Benefit them. Right.

  173. I mean, there's no genuine. Affection.

  174. It's all about self. OK, the lust of the flesh, the

  175. lust of the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, but it's all

  176. underneath this word called love that the world uses.

  177. All right. However, when you have the word,

  178. the world is going to hate you and you must be comfortable with

  179. that. I said.

  180. You must be. Comfortable with that?

  181. Because God is saying, listen, it's the word that separates us

  182. from the world. And if you're going to have my

  183. peace or perfect peace, or you're going to have World

  184. Peace, mean Kingdom peace, then you're going to have to abide in

  185. his word. And he then reminds us, Now

  186. listen, he says, they're not of the world as I'm.

  187. Not of the world, because. Was Jesus a man of the Word?

  188. Well, he is the Word. Is he not Hallelujah?

  189. And he says, I'm not I, I'm not subject to this world system.

  190. I don't do it that way. The the things that the enemy

  191. does, the darkness that he has, I have no part of that and he

  192. has no part in me. Jesus is light and the devil is

  193. darkness and they are complete opposites.

  194. All right. Then he goes on to say the power

  195. of being able to have World Peace in our Kingdom.

  196. He says do not, I do not ask you to take them out of the world.

  197. So the word, the Lord's goal is not to fast track you to heaven.

  198. The goal is just for you to remember what world you are.

  199. Of and to abide there. Right, and if you will abide

  200. with the word, then guess what the the Father will will keep

  201. you from the evil one. Now that doesn't mean the evil

  202. one will not show up on occasions.

  203. And when I say that for many people, many Saints, honestly,

  204. he probably never shows up in their life because he doesn't

  205. have time. He's not taking time to deal

  206. with every individual on the planet because most offer no

  207. threat to his. Kingdom to his domain.

  208. Again, when you when you still are having to deal with your own

  209. flesh and it's conquering you and you haven't renewed your

  210. mind to overcome the flesh. The devil does not have to show

  211. up at your house because he is not omnipotent.

  212. He doesn't know what you're doing.

  213. He's we have placed the devil almost like an equality with

  214. God, like he's all he doesn't even know that you exist unless

  215. he shows up around you and he has no idea what you did last

  216. week unless he was in your presence because he doesn't

  217. function. That way.

  218. Now God, that's a different. Story he knows.

  219. The sum total of all that you would do before he even showed

  220. up, your existence doesn't does. It is not required for God to

  221. know everything about you, but the devil has to get around you,

  222. or he has to get his spirits, those that are in his domain, to

  223. come around you to find out anything about you to be able to

  224. use it. Against you, all right.

  225. But he says to keep you from the evil. 1 Then he says, verse 16

  226. again, they are not of the world, even as I'm not of the

  227. world. And what causes us not to be of

  228. the world? Verse 17 Sanctify them in the

  229. truth. Your word is is.

  230. Truth. I said your word is.

  231. Truth. Hallelujah.

  232. So then he. Goes on and says, now listen,

  233. they're going to be in the world, but they can't go into

  234. the world any way they. Want they cannot.

  235. Go in the world any way they want.

  236. How do they go into the world then, that they're not of verse

  237. 18 as say, as as you. This is the Father as the

  238. Father. Sent Jesus into the world.

  239. I also have sent. Them into the world same way.

  240. And and the Father has sent him into the world #1 full of power

  241. with the Holy Ghost. Aren't you glad?

  242. We have the Holy Ghost in US. Aren't you glad he's?

  243. In US, and He can come upon us and we have His.

  244. Power. Amen.

  245. But. We also see how Jesus functioned

  246. in the planet verse 19. He sanctified himself.

  247. That means he set himself apart unto the Lord through truth or

  248. the Word. He kept his mind set on the

  249. Word. He let the word be the only

  250. thing that navigated his choices.

  251. And decisions and rule. His emotions, Hallelujah.

  252. He always responded to situations through it is

  253. written. He didn't hold his opinion on

  254. the matter. He was like, Father, how do you

  255. want me to address this situation and how he went into

  256. the world doing that? He has sent us to be able to do

  257. it as well because we have been given the Holy Spirit.

  258. Amen. Now, with that being said, in

  259. this world, we're going to have trials.

  260. And tribulations there's going. To be problems.

  261. Going to be conflict. There's world challenges, world

  262. issues, world troubles. We have a transition right now

  263. with our own government. There's a lot of stuff happening

  264. over in the Middle East today. There's a lot of prophecies out

  265. there, a lot of people trying to determine, you know, when the

  266. return. Of the King.

  267. Is and it's imminent. He is coming, I said.

  268. The. King is coming.

  269. In fact, this Sunday, most, most churches, a lot of churches are

  270. celebrating the first Sunday of Advent.

  271. Advent it means. The coming.

  272. Of the Lord and the first couple of Sundays is to be focused on

  273. the. Return of our king.

  274. He's coming when he. Breaks through the clouds he's

  275. going to come and set up his Kingdom at another time on the

  276. planet so the first 2 are celebrate that then the last two

  277. that goes up to Christmas then begins to reflect back of how he

  278. came into the earth as a child to humanity and place us back in

  279. the. Dominion that God originally

  280. intended for us. Amen.

  281. So the King is coming, and we've never been closer than we are.

  282. Today, and it's very. Likely that it could happen in

  283. your. Lifetime.

  284. Amen. Now I know.

  285. People have said that before. Even Paul believed that Jesus

  286. would return in his lifetime. But somebody's right, 123123123

  287. So since we're the closest, we might as well continue the

  288. belief that he'll come in our lifetime, because if you do not.

  289. Hold that then your existence. On the earth may not have the

  290. effect it should. Have Hallelujah man, the King is

  291. coming. And as much as that's going and

  292. with all that's going on in the. World.

  293. He. Said you can have peace because

  294. I've overcome it. So I'm going to.

  295. Leave you today with some scriptures to remind you that he

  296. has overcome it. Let's look at this first one

  297. here in Exodus. Oh my goodness.

  298. The Lord shall reign forever and ever because He's overcome the

  299. world. The Lord shall reign forever.

  300. How long? Come on?

  301. How long? How long is he going to reign

  302. forever? Praise the Lord Psalms 146.

  303. Verse 10. Psalms 146 verse. 10.

  304. The Lord will reign forever your God, O Zion to all generations.

  305. Praise the Lord. Now, Zion obviously is over in

  306. Jerusalem, but yet scholars believe that the reference of

  307. Zion also refers to the church we know.

  308. Ultimately, there'll be a new. Heaven and a new earth.

  309. And the Lord will reign forever. He'll reign forever, and I use

  310. these first because most believe as believers that the Lord will.

  311. Reign and yes, there. Is a coming reigning of the

  312. Lord. There is a coming reigning of

  313. the Lord where He will come and be physically present on the

  314. planet. That is true, but there are some

  315. things that he reigns. Now Amen.

  316. Let's look at Psalms 47, Eight says God reigns over the

  317. nation's. God sits on his holy throne.

  318. Come on, can you get a mental? Picture with me right now.

  319. Jesus currently is seated on a throne in heaven at the right

  320. hand of the Father. He's seated, in fact, the Bible

  321. tells us concerning his Father that he sits in the heavens and

  322. laughs at all that the nations are doing because he knows I

  323. reign. All your plans, all your ways of

  324. doing things, all your ways of trying to kick me off the throne

  325. will have no effect, will not work.

  326. I am seated on the throne. I reign and God reigns where

  327. over the nations. Well, what nations does he rule

  328. over? All of them.

  329. Ultimately there we call them superpowers.

  330. There's your superpower. This is the superpower.

  331. God reigns over the nations. God reigns over the nations.

  332. Now again what do we do? People tend to think, well if

  333. God is reigning, they use this word, then control.

  334. Well God's in control of the nation.

  335. No, he's not controlling those nation he rules over.

  336. Them. And he will.

  337. Allow man to do what man wants to do in his rebellion, and he

  338. does this for. Season, and it is mercy.

  339. Because he's giving them. He's long-suffering to give them

  340. an opportunity to repent, to change, but ultimately he will

  341. judge. Them and there's no.

  342. Blood that has ever been or ever will be spilled on the planet

  343. that the great Judge will not account.

  344. For. There is no such thing as

  345. injustice in the Kingdom. Of God, Hallelujah, nor on.

  346. Planet Earth as regard to God, because God will cause all.

  347. Things to come into judgment. Amen.

  348. So he reigns over the nation. He sits on his holy throne.

  349. Psalms 99.1. The Lord reigns.

  350. The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble.

  351. He is enthroned above the cherubim.

  352. Let the earth shake. You know, we do a lot of

  353. preaching concerning the salvation of man, and man needs

  354. to be saved. Do a lot of preaching on the

  355. Lamb that was slain and the Lamb was slain for the sins of all

  356. humanity, but very few are aware of his reign and there is no

  357. blind eye to God. He can be the Lamb, Lamb without

  358. blemish because He is righteous and just.

  359. In fact, one Scripture, and I don't believe I have it in this

  360. particular service today, but the foundation of His throne is

  361. righteousness and justice. It's the foundation.

  362. The more we understand His reigning power, the opportunity

  363. for the fear of the Lord is more ever present within us, because

  364. when we only conclude He saved me, we don't always value that

  365. properly and our lifestyles sometimes become a reflection of

  366. that. Psalms 97.1 The Lord reigns.

  367. You see the theme here. Let the earth rejoice.

  368. Let the many islands be glad you know what?

  369. All the earth is. Crying out for its own

  370. redemption, every piece of land cannot wait for the King to come

  371. back. Hallelujah.

  372. I wonder if the earth has an expectation of the king.

  373. More than we do. I wonder if the dirt that

  374. doesn't have the spirit of man in it has more of an

  375. expectation. Of the Lord than we do.

  376. Because the earth cries out. It's looking for the redemption

  377. of man for the sons of. God to be revealed.

  378. Man Hallelujah Psalms. 9311 and. Two, the Lord reigns.

  379. Hallelujah, the Lord reigns. He is clothed with majesty.

  380. The Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength.

  381. Indeed, the world is firmly. Established it will not be

  382. moved. Your throne is established from.

  383. Of old. You.

  384. Are from everlasting. Natural governments have been

  385. set up. And torn down.

  386. But his Kingdom is forever. How?

  387. Yeah. I mean, should the Lord Terry,

  388. there may not be a China or North Korea.

  389. I mean, Rome does not exist as it used to.

  390. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Psalms 96. 10:00 and 11:00 says.

  391. Stay among the. Nation, the Lord reigns indeed.

  392. The world is firmly established. It will not be moved.

  393. He will judge the people with equity, and he's the only

  394. government who can. Let the heavens be glad, Let the

  395. earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all it contain.

  396. Nature is shouting for the reign of the king.

  397. It declares its play, its praises to him.

  398. Nature itself cries out. The Lord gave me this message

  399. for next year. I can't even preach.

  400. I'm like this is this is way too good for to just preach it by

  401. itself. There's some things we need to

  402. add as visual effects. I mean the earth is crying out.

  403. It's giving him praise. I mean Jesus said if you all

  404. praise me the rocks will cry out.

  405. I mean, I get around some believers.

  406. I'm thinking the rocks at their house is doing a better job at

  407. praising God than they are. Whoo.

  408. Man, don't go home and think, man, my rocks are praising.

  409. Better than me. I got a lot of rocks at my.

  410. House I actually have a lot of rocks at my house.

  411. And I don't want to praise him better than I because they'll

  412. cry out. Hallelujah.

  413. But notice in verse 10 of Psalm 96 it says, say among the

  414. nations the Lord reigns. This is the gospel.

  415. The gospel is not limited to or reduced to.

  416. Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave so that when you

  417. call on his name, you'll be saved.

  418. So that when you die, you'll. Go to heaven, that's not.

  419. The gospel that is a. Piece of the Gospel.

  420. The gospel is the Lord reigns, that His Kingdom is here.

  421. The gospel of the Kingdom is the gospel Jesus preached.

  422. And as a result of that, what was He letting them know?

  423. I reign and I want you in my Kingdom.

  424. I never wanted the earth to experience humanity outside of

  425. my Kingdom. However, the earth experienced

  426. humanity outside the Kingdom. And God had a plan of

  427. redemption. To do what?

  428. Get man back at the Kingdom, To get them back in their fit, to

  429. be, get them back in their place.

  430. And Jesus fulfilled that. He fulfilled it all.

  431. Everything required to fulfill it, Jesus fulfilled it.

  432. Not one thing went unfulfilled by Jesus.

  433. Glory to God, He reigns. He reigns.

  434. You know, again, sometimes if we just pick up certain words and

  435. kind of recite them and let them get in our spirit, it'll get you

  436. to shouting. The Lord reigns.

  437. I mean, when you hear stuff in the Earth, you just got to say

  438. all you have to do. Is say the Lord reigns, the Lord

  439. reigns, the Lord reigns. He reigns over sickness and

  440. disease. He reigns over inflation.

  441. He reigns over depression. He reigns over broken marriages.

  442. He reigns over lack. He reigns over a broken mind, a

  443. broken heart. He reigns over every situation

  444. you would ever go through should you yield to him and acknowledge

  445. His Lordship. Amen.

  446. I mean, it's easy for the believer to yield in the trials

  447. and tribulation, meaning to overcome them the minute we

  448. yield to His Lordship. Lord, how do you want me to

  449. handle this? How do you want me to respond?

  450. What do you want me to do now? If you have no scripture, you

  451. don't have an answer. The word is the answer.

  452. Hallelujah. So the earth is.

  453. Crying out. Amen.

  454. First Chronicles 163031 Let the heavens be glad, let the earth

  455. rejoice, and let them say among the nations.

  456. The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.

  457. The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.

  458. The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.

  459. Man in this. Life you'll have trials and

  460. tribulation, But be of good cheer.

  461. He has overcome. Be undaunted, filled with joy.

  462. Walk in perfect peace. Isaiah 52, seven says it this

  463. way. How lovely.

  464. On the mountain are the feet of him who brings good news, who

  465. announces peace and brings good news of.

  466. Happiness. What are they announcing?

  467. Who announces salvation and says in in Zion?

  468. What's the announcement of salvation?

  469. Your God reigns. Hallelujah, the message.

  470. Of salvation is your God reigns, Jesus reigns, the Lord reigns.

  471. Isaiah 2423 Just trying to arm you.

  472. Then the moon will be. Abashed and the sun ashamed.

  473. For the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion.

  474. And in Jerusalem and his. Glory will be.

  475. Before his elders, my Mama. Is he setting up a Kingdom?

  476. Will he come and reign forever? Luke 1:30.

    Luke 1:30

  477. Three, and he will reign over the House of Jacob Forever, and

  478. his Kingdom will have. No end.

  479. The king is coming. I said the king is.

  480. Coming. The King is coming, and he

  481. reigns. You know how many people in the

  482. United States back in 2020 we're so excited for the inauguration?

  483. Of President Joe Biden in January of 2021, you know how

  484. many? People were excited, thrilled.

  485. Elated couldn't wait. To see him inaugurated.

  486. Put in office, become the. Supreme leader, we say of the

  487. world, the leader of the world. You know how many people were

  488. jacked, excited about that? Many people were.

  489. Many people were. Equally, you know how many

  490. people are excited for January of 2025 when Donald Trump gets

  491. sworn in and inaugurated back into the White House?

  492. You know he's going to be excited.

  493. I mean, people have taken time to actually get on planes and go

  494. to hotels or Airbnb and watch these events.

  495. You know, how many people showed up when President Barack Obama

  496. was inaugurated in and he was considered the first man of

  497. color to be the president? How many people showed up and,

  498. and, and watched the inauguration and were in awe

  499. with anticipation? I mean, but here, what's our

  500. anticipation of the return of our king, the one who reigns,

  501. the one who sits on the thrall, the one who brings peace to

  502. everyone, the one who conquers? I mean, what's the anticipation?

  503. I mean, we look for one time events when yet you could come

  504. and fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis.

  505. But then corporately when we come to a Church of which He is

  506. the head and we assemble together to be before the King

  507. of Kings and the Lord of Lords who reigns in life and who will

  508. communicate through his fivefold ministry and then through Saints

  509. of how you can overcome in this life when you're dealing with

  510. things that you can get in the environment of perfect peace,

  511. you can get in the environment of unity, you can get an

  512. environment where people are yielded and submitted to the

  513. King. I mean, why would we not run to

  514. that event be? Passionate about it?

  515. He. Reigns First Corinthians 1520. 5

  516. For he must reign until he puts. All his enemies under his feet.

  517. God is so just. He's so just.

  518. Hallelujah. Now we we are going to be led by

  519. the Spirit. And minister on things the Lord

  520. wants to say to His church. Justice is one of those things.

  521. There's just not enough. Preaching on justice.

  522. Those people are afraid. Of sounding like legalism, but

  523. it's not legalism. It's a Kingdom that is just.

  524. And God is just man. He's so amazing.

  525. And but he's also equally merciful and long-suffering.

  526. But there comes a day when mercy is moved aside.

  527. The reason? Why mercy triumphs over justice

  528. is because if you receive God's mercy.

  529. Then you won't be. Judged and eternally separated,

  530. if you'll take his mercy path, but if you do not taken Timothy

  531. 212. If we endure, we will also.

  532. Reign with him. If we deny him, he will also

  533. deny us. But if we endure, what will we

  534. do now? I love.

  535. This because the Lord reigns and.

  536. What I love about this verse is that he has the invitation not

  537. just to declare to you that he reigns.

  538. But that you reign. Hallelujah.

  539. So when you say the Lord reigns, and if you yield and are

  540. submitted to his Lordship, you equally say.

  541. Then I get to reign. And I get to reign in this life.

  542. I don't have to reign until he comes.

  543. I don't have to reign until the new heaven.

  544. And I don't have to wait to reign until the new heaven and

  545. new earth. We can begin to reign now

  546. because we are Co laborers with him.

  547. And in this world we can have perfect peace because the trials

  548. and tribulations are something that are just going to, we're

  549. going to go through. But we go through because we

  550. have the champion, the one who's never lost a battle.

  551. I said he's never lost a battle. Hallelujah.

  552. Revelations 510 says this. You have made them to be a

  553. Kingdom and priest to our God, and they will reign where so

  554. reigning is not set. For heaven, reigning is set.

  555. For once you believe Hallelujah and you can enter into that

  556. world that has peace again. Many people stand up and say,

  557. man, I want World Peace. And they hit.

  558. Proud of champ, but you can't have World Peace in this world,

  559. but you can have the Kingdom peace, which is a different

  560. world. Jesus will establish ultimate

  561. global peace in the. New heaven and the new earth.

  562. And it. Will not come until then.

  563. And when Jesus reigns from 4000 years, there will be a lot of

  564. peace in the earth, but sin will still be here too, and He will

  565. judge sin differently during that time.

  566. Frame than he does currently. Hallelujah.

  567. Revelations 1115. Then the seven angels sounded.

  568. And there were loud voices. In heaven, saying the.

  569. Kingdom of the World has. Become the Kingdom of our Lord.

  570. And of his Christ and he. Will what?

  571. Forever and ever. Don't know this.

  572. It doesn't matter how many nations develop nuclear.

  573. Power doesn't matter because our King and his Kingdom is taking

  574. over the rest of the kingdoms. Hallelujah.

  575. So don't be. Afraid.

  576. That's why he says don't fear little flock, for my father has

  577. chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.

  578. If anyone on the planet should be exercising peace, it's us.

  579. And you will when you keep the word.

  580. In the midst of your life, I'm glad I could teach you this

  581. morning. Revelation. 19/6 Revelation

  582. 19/6. Then I heard a sound.

  583. Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, like

  584. the sound of many waters, like the sound.

  585. Of a mighty pills of Thunder, saying Hallelujah.

  586. For the Lord our God the Almighty, come on, let's see, He

  587. reigns. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  588. For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

  589. For the Lord Almighty reigns. For the Lord Almighty reigns, He

  590. reigns. Now he's seated on the throne.

  591. Two more. We're done.

  592. Revelations 20, verse 6. Blessed and holy is the one who

    Revelation 20:6

  593. has a part in the first resurrection over these the

  594. second death. Has no power.

  595. But they will be priests of. God and of Christ, that's the

  596. King and will what reign? With him for 1000 years will

  597. reign with him for a. 1000 years.

  598. We get to reign right now in this life, then we get to reign

  599. with him for 1000 years in the millennial reign, and then will

  600. reign with him forever in the new.

  601. Heaven and new earth. Where there will only be

  602. righteousness, and sin will be no more.

  603. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Because we followed the

  604. champion. Oh my goodness, we followed the

  605. champion. Jesus Christ is king.

  606. I mean, So what? So what about the world?

  607. We pray, we do things that the Lord asks us to do.

  608. We pray in line with his word. We, we speak, we are in faith,

  609. we but ultimately our King has conquered.

  610. He's overcome. He's given us the victory and

  611. the power to overcome as well. We can have perfect peace even

  612. in the midst of trials and tribulation, you understand, in

  613. the world and with the world. And they hate us and we can

  614. accept that. Let's quit having the hatred

  615. within our own body. Let's end division and strife

  616. within the church. Let's eradicate that.

  617. Let's don't become the religious negligent, let's do not be the

  618. deceived ones. Let's do not become the ones

  619. that fall away because they lack being doers of the Word.

  620. No, let's maintain the unity of peace among the brethren, and

  621. let's be passionate to put down the flesh and to desire to only

  622. want to be a doer of the Word. As the psalmist David said, he

  623. said, man, if it had been my enemy, I could have handled it.

  624. That's expected. But it was.

  625. You. The one who used to.

  626. Go with me in the House of the Lord, That's the greatest.

  627. Betrayal. Why?

  628. Because there's no reason nor excuse.

  629. For us not to allow the reigning spirit.

  630. To reign in US. And for us to be in perfect.

  631. Peace with one another. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

  632. Glory to God, and I believe God that He will come back for the

  633. church that's without spot or wrinkle.

  634. The ones. That are in perfect peace and

  635. unity the ones that are. Functioning in the Word of God,

  636. the ones that are putting down the flesh, the ones that are

  637. renewing their minds, the ones that are.

  638. Deciding that he is king, walking in the fear of the Lord,

  639. having the wisdom of God. Walking in the knowledge.

  640. Of God and keeping themselves in their fit and not let anything

  641. take you away. From it.

  642. Hallelujah. Think about it right now.

  643. Who outside of this building? Right now what we would.

  644. Consider the lost in Saint Augustine that is out there

  645. attacking. US.

  646. Where are they? They're not lined up now.

  647. They showed up a little bit during COVID, but outside of

  648. that, I mean, they're not standing out there trying to

  649. keep you from coming in. Praise God hindering you.

  650. This is why James said in his book.

  651. He said listen, let's don't have any.

  652. Quarrels among ourselves. Because when you have the

  653. reigning spirit, it's easy to deny yourself and just do the

  654. Word, because your spirit wants to do the Word is.

  655. Passionate about the word? In fact, coming to church should

  656. be the most blessed on an encouraging place you could ever

  657. be. Yeah, because if you'll say is

  658. the word being preached, is the Spirit of God moving?

  659. Can I exercise my gifts? Man, it's a great place.

  660. Now we're all being perfected. We're all being changed and

  661. renewed and being adjusted and and growing.

  662. That's true. But again, God was

  663. long-suffering with Saji, long-suffering with me,

  664. long-suffering with Marissa, long-suffering, you know, with

  665. Tatias. And well, he's long-suffering.

  666. So we can be long-suffering. We can be merciful, we can be

  667. quick to forgive, which means it's the greatest place ever to

  668. be. Because I'm around a bunch of

  669. quick forgivers, merciful, long-suffering, compassionate

  670. people that is there to help me grow and develop into all that

  671. God wants me to be is the greatest place of.

  672. Comfort. Where we can share with one

  673. another the things of God, because our God.

  674. Reigns, Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.

  675. Now don't let the devil deceive you that the church is not alive

  676. and well and doing good, because when he reigns, then he reigns

  677. in how we do church. Here it is the Revelations 22.

  678. Five, are you? Ready.

  679. And there will. Will no longer be any night.

  680. And they will not need the lamp of need, need of the light of

  681. the lamp. Or the light of the.

  682. Sun. Because.

  683. The Lord God will illuminate them and they will reign forever

  684. and ever. Now this is in the end, when the

  685. new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, there's a new heaven and

  686. new earth. God the Father will leave.

  687. Heaven to come to earth. And reign with Christ on the

  688. earth in Jerusalem, which will be the capital of all creation,

  689. so that he can be with us. Oh my, so he can be with us.

  690. And there'll be no sin. There'll be no sin.

  691. The Earth will be perfect. I'm talking perfection of which.

  692. No sin will ever show back up on it.

  693. No issue will ever occur. No other rebellion will ever

  694. happen for all eternity in this amazing This is the King that

  695. sits on the throne today. He already reigns and has the

  696. power to put everything back in this original intent that we who

  697. have yielded to His Lordship perpetually are in awe of.

  698. His power, His grace, His Majesty, His splendor, His

  699. power, His justice, His kingship, man, we are going to

  700. reign with him forever. And that's the world that

  701. Abraham was looking for. That's the world Moses was

  702. looking for. That's the world of all the

  703. patriarchs. And the Old Covenant says they

  704. were looking for a city, they were looking for a better world.

  705. They were looking for a different place.

  706. And into our dispensation, we are looking for a better place.

  707. We know it's coming and it's going to be on this planet, but

  708. it's going to take Jesus to do it.

  709. And we get a piece of the peace now by being a keeper of his

  710. word, walking in love, having unity, walking in the purpose

  711. and plan of God in our life, not just being salvation people that

  712. says, oh, I know where I'm going to go when I die.

  713. I'm talking about people that are yielded 100% totally

  714. submitted to the lordship of Jesus.

  715. Christ bow not. Just in need, but in will, in

  716. heart, in passion. That is an unstoppable force.

  717. And that's the spirit God has put in us.

  718. If you yield to it, it's the reigning spirit, because the

  719. Lord, he reigns.
