Royal Choice - Kingdom Destiny

Today I want to talk to you about the royal choice.

A royal choice. Say I have a destiny with the

king. Say I have a destiny with the

King. Aren't you glad Jesus is the

king? Aren't you glad he's on the

throne? Aren't you glad we don't have to

vote him there? He's the Conqueror.

He's always been Lord. He's always been supreme in

authority. God has never been defeated.

He's never lost a battle. He's never been overcome.

He never will be overcome. His Kingdom will never be

shaken. Hallelujah.

That is the God we serve. Amen.

And that should give us great confidence.

I said great confidence. We said this in First

1 Corinthians 12:18

Corinthians chapter 12, verse 18, to bring our attention to

this particular passage of Scripture.

It's a very powerful passage of Scripture because it

communicates God's involvement in our lives.

And it says this, But now God has placed the members, each one

of them, in the body just as he desires.

What a personal connection we have with a personal God.

However, this verse also lets us know there's a duality in your

relationship with God, the one who sits on the throne.

And that is. He knows you personally, but He

never wanted you isolated. He never intended to only do a

one-on-one relationship. He brought you in so that you

can be empowered with others. He always had you in mind to be

connected with others like you. I said others like you.

Now when I say like you, I mean in loyalty, in love, in service,

in identity, in Christ. But you maintain your uniqueness

and your individuality. God is way too creative to have

made us the same. I'm the kind of person that's

not as as excited about some of the neighborhoods that have that

come up in our Nation Today. You know, builders basically go

into places, purchase property, and then have at least two or

three variations of the same model.

And so, you know, I call them cookie cutter neighborhoods and

you go in and basically everyone's house is almost the

same. You, you know, what's in

someone's home if you buy into one of those neighborhoods

because they're basically the same.

God is way too creative for that.

He is way too creative for that. When you just look at the DNA

strand and the complexities of that and how it can develop so

many variations in humans, the Lord never would have been a

builder that would have gone in and had three models.

It never would have happened. He is way too more involved and

and detailed. That's why, you know, I like

going into those neighborhoods where each home is a little bit

unique, little bit different design looks a little different,

you know, and again, I understand why builders do that

today. It has to do with cost.

It has to do with them making more on their bottom line.

But the reality is, is I like the individuality, the

uniqueness of homes, yet we're still in the same community.

I said we're still in the same community.

And God is this way when it comes to the body of Christ.

He's like, I'm way too creative to make you all the same.

Now there are going to be similarities.

Why? Because all of us have equal

access to God. I said we all have equal access

to God. So when we talk about equality

in God's Kingdom, we all have equal access to the throne, but

we do not all live an equal life because that is predicated on

your ability to believe. God will do for you all that He

designed for you to do. You have to find that place and

you, we all have equal access to that.

However, not everyone wants to be there.

But in this verse again, there's another translation.

It's the remedy, and I'm just going to read it for you.

It says God has built the body with all its parts right where

He wanted them, all perfectly complementing each other and

fulfilling their purposes for the good of the entire body.

Again, we come together not to compete with one another, but to

complete and to complement one another.

So instead of us technically taking time to determine our

weaknesses, we should always maximize in our strengths.

Meaning if I find someone that you know what, they're not

really strongly suited there, that's OK because God brought

this one into the body who is really strong in that area.

And that's why God didn't have all of us being able to do it

all by ourselves. We need each other.

And you know what, instead of saying, wow, they can't do this,

can't do that, can't do this, we should say, look what they can

do, what they can do, what they can do.

Now, that doesn't mean we can't identify.

Hey, I'm not picking that person to do this task because you know

what, it's really not in their will house.

It's not a part of their makeup. That's why God gave us this

individual. That's why this person is a part

of the body. And we want to celebrate

everyone's gifts because God wants to celebrate everyone's

giftings. Isn't that amazing?

And The thing is, is that in this verse you have to ask this

question. If God is placing you in the

body, each one of us where He desires, then he must had a

meditated thought about you before you moved into the body,

which means he had to have imagined you prior to coming in

for you to put somewhere on someone somewhere.

It's because you already had in mind where they would fit.

Amen. And so God is very detailed in

essence. Look at John chapter 15 verse

John 15:16

16. The Lord Jesus says this.

You did not choose me but I man, but I chose.

You are a royal choice. You have been chosen for

royalty. You did not choose him but he

chose you. Now notice it doesn't say period

nor does the verse go on and say you didn't choose me but I chose

you so that when you died you can come to heaven and live with

me. No, it goes on and says you

didn't choose me, but I chose you.

Why Lord, and appointed you that you would go and what bear

fruit, and that your fruit what would remain, so that whatever

you ask, the Father in my name he may give to you.

Do you understand? You can arrive at a place in the

planet that when you talk to your Father in heaven all that

you're asking, He will do it. Oh my goodness, I don't think we

have the revelation of that. Let me try that over here.

You can arrive to a place in the earth that you can ask of your

heavenly Father who sits on the throne and everything you ask

for, He will do it. Wow.

Now you understand in some believers lives that can be a

very challenging statement because there's a lot of times

we're asking the Father of things and it seems as though

we're not receiving them or we're not getting them or

they're not coming to pass. Well, there's a reason why and

we're going to see that here today.

But the Bible tells us because Jesus is not a liar, Jesus can't

lie. So he says whatever you ask the

Father in my name, he may give it to you.

So he says, listen, you didn't choose me, but I so there's

something about his choice of you that has a responsibility.

You have to ask Jesus, why did you choose me and why have you

appointed me? What is the appointment?

Appointment means I've appointed you to go and bear.

Well, what's the fruit I'm supposed to bear?

Now we know right out the gate that's going to be the fruits of

the Spirit, because we have the Spirit within us, and you can

have the Spirit upon you which induce you with power, and you

should be able to operate in the 9 fruits of the Spirit, and you

should bear those fruits, Amen? But there is other fruit you are

to bear, which is why you are in the earth in the 1st place,

Amen. Are you hearing me?

Because when Jesus is choosing you, there's a reason why.

And can I say it this way? He didn't choose you just

because you were a Sinner. That was not his reason for

choosing you. There was something long before

the in God's thought process of choice prior to sin.

Amen. So Jesus's assignment on the

planet to forgive us of sin is not the only reason why you were

chosen They Amen. Look at Luke chapter 6 verse 13.

Luke 6:13

He says this. He says and when the day came,

he called his disciples to him and chose what 12 of them, whom

he also named as apostles. Now notice he pulls 12 people

out of the disciples that are following, which were a lot more

than 12, but of those that were there, he pulls out specifically

12. And then he places the ministry

gift mantle on them. Of apostle.

I said of apostle. And they were going to, they

were functioning in that capacity.

Why are they apostles? Because they wanted it.

No, he did. Because if God is choosing you,

and when God does choose you and when God places you, He has

something about you in mind. I said He has something about

you in mind. Now.

I just want you to say this with me or say this after me.

Say my father has not made a mistake.

He knows exactly what he destined me to do.

And you need to believe that with your whole heart.

Do not let the devils tell you that you are too far gone.

You're too far gone because if you're far gone, you're choosing

to be far gone because it's not with the Lord, because the Lord,

he wants to choose you. You just have to accept it when

he says, hey, I want you on my team, I want you in my family.

But there's a reason I said there's a reason why He wants

you there. So I want to encourage you

today. Listen, know that God can do

something amazing in your life because He's been thinking about

you long before today, long before today.

See, the new birth experience is not about a destination.

It was never about a destination.

It was not about where you're going to go when you die.

That was never God's intent, nor the reason His church is in

existence. His church is in existence so

that you could discover your destiny.

The Gospel is about destiny. It's about sonship.

It's about being sons and daughters of God.

It's about reaching the destiny God has for you in the

appointment. The reason He's choosing you out

of the world and placing you into His Kingdom.

And God is doing this by choice. And here's the thing, God knows

what's going on with you. God knew about you.

But the problem is, is you only know you based upon your

existence here. What do I mean by that?

You know you based upon your experience.

God knew you before then. Amen, Man, I pray that sinks in

because a lot of times you understand, we, we, we kind of

say these things because we've been a little religiously taught

that, you know, humility sounds like this.

Well, you know, I don't deserve it, man.

I just don't. Now in sin you do not deserve

because you are making choices that God's obligated to fulfill

his word and keep you outside of his Kingdom.

Your unrighteousness separates you from him.

But God has a thing called mercy.

I'm telling you, mercy's a powerful thing.

He has this thing called mercy that comes out of the heart of

compassion. That then gives you options

because He has another obligation to His word

concerning you, which means you need to quit identifying

yourself with where you went wrong.

And you need to start finding yourself where God knew you

before you failed. He said now how can He know me

before I failed? Well, we're going to see that

here because most of the time we always go back to our sin life.

I was just this, I did this, I did this.

You know what God knew you before that sin came they Amen.

In Acts chapter one verse 24 just to let you know God is is

in the choosing business and choosing is not just so that you

can be with him when you die. It's for assignment while on the

earth. He says, and they prayed and

said, you Lord, know, you Lord, who know the hearts of all men,

show which one of these two you have chosen.

Now notice God, Jesus comes on the planet.

He has a group of disciples that are following him.

Now you know John the Baptist had disciples and was talking

about this one who would come, who would come that he, John

baptized with water, but that this Messiah would come and

baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire.

And he recognized Jesus as that because the Spirit of God had

told John who was the greatest prophet.

He said, now when you see the one whom the Holy Spirit will

come upon without measure, He's the Messiah.

And so he testified, this is the Lamb that was slain before the

foundation. He'll take away the sins of the

world. This is the anointed one, this

is the King, Amen. And so when his disciples are

leaving and they're saying, hey, all your disciples are leaving

and going to Jesus, John, how's that make you feel?

He said I must decrease and he must because my whole ministry

was just to announce He'll, it was not about me.

And if we lose everybody, that's great because they should be

falling. He's the one we're supposed to

follow anyway. I'm not even worthy to untie the

man's sandals, right? And so Jesus has these

disciples, but he hand picks 12 of the 12.

He has one that he knows will betray him, will betray him.

And here we are in Acts chapter 1 looking for his replacement.

Acts 1 · chapter mention

But notice the 12, the 11 or the 11 that are left are asking the

Lord who's your pick? Notice what they didn't do.

Well, I like so and so. I like such and such.

You know what? This person here, this is my

boat. Let me fill this position.

Amen. No, it's like, Lord, who do you

want in this position? Who is your choice?

And it says that they cast lots for him and, and ultimately it

fell to one that took the place of Judas.

Now, there were some qualifications that were

required there, but ultimately it was God who handpicked the

replacement for Judas Iscariot. Are you hearing me?

So God is in the business of choosing you and placing you.

You are a royal choice. Come on, look to your neighbor

say I'm a royal choice. In Acts Chapter 9 verse 15, it

Acts 9:15

says, but the Lord said to him, go, for he is a chosen, he's a

lot chosen instrument of mine to bear my name before the Gentiles

and kings and the sons of Israel.

Now who's this person? Well, this person is Saul of

Tarsus and Saul of Tarsus is a wicked religious man.

He is a wicked religious man. He is trying to single handedly

destroy the church to capture those who confess Christ as

Lord. He believes he's doing the

Lord's work and as a result of that he is crushing it.

Let me say this for a quick side thought again.

Political people who use scripture does not mean they're

rightly dividing it. The number one misuse scripture

among politicians is Matthew 25, for they say unless you do it to

the least of these, but it doesn't say the least of these

meaning the world. It says the least of these who

are mine. Any platform that does not have

the church in mind is not doing it to the least of his.

And there are many believers who are following politicians using

Matthew 25 that have no right to interpret it.

Why do I say that? Because Paul is a religious man

who had power with the governments of his time to be

able to go into Israel. And he used scripture to

persecute, to set up his own agenda.

And man, when he does his resume, I mean, if this guy was

running for political office, this guy would have a resume of

what he did. And he even gives us his resume

at one particular time of his life prior to Christ.

But then he summed it all up with this statement.

He said everything I did that I thought I was doing for the Lord

and all of His scripture I was using thinking I was.

It is dung. It is like one big pile of

manure, 'cause once I really found Christ my Mama.

And if you are Spirit filled and a studier of the Word at all,

you would not be deceived by Matthew 25.

Hallelujah. And here's Paul on the road to

Damascus. God stops him dead in his tracks

because men have testified to Paul or Saul at the time

concerning the way how to be born again.

He's just rejecting it. But notice the Lord had a plan.

I said he had a plan and it says that talking to starts with an A

come on, help me out and I and an eyes.

He said you go pray for this guy and he's like, man, don't you

know he's got papers that arrest all of us that are saying you're

the Lord. He said he is my what chosen, oh

instrument. Now Paul goes on later in

Galatians and he testifies concerning this apostleship that

he's been called into this thing.

He was apprehended, you know, in Philippians.

He said, I'm, I'm strived. I'm trying to apprehend that

which I was apprehended, meaning I was going my own course and

direction. I mean, I had a life planned out

that was wealth, riches, honor, but it was garbage.

It was outside of God's destiny and will for my life, even

though I was using his scripture to try to get there.

And yet he apprehends me with a calling greater than I can even

imagine. He chose me the least of them

all, the one that shouldn't, he said, but by the grace of God, I

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

God. And so he said, I'm trying to

pursue this. And in Galatians 1, He has even

further revelation concerning this revelation or Galatians

115, he said. But when God, who had set me

apart even from my mother's, there is a place that God knows

you before you ever sinned. It's all of Tarsus by all

rights, and he emits him to himself.

I was a blasphemer. If anyone should be cursed and

cast into the Lake of Fire, it is when it came to sin.

I was chief. I did it better than anybody.

Yet Paul had revelation. There was a place in Christ,

There was a place in my father's eye that he knew about me.

And he already set me apart before I even did anything,

before I even made a choice. He chose me.

So many believers live their whole existence only identifying

with their sin, their troubles, their issues, their faith, and

it keeps them squandered and handicapped from accomplishing

all the gods. When if you would just go back

and say, what did you think about me?

But but when I was in my mom's womb, how did you see me there?

Man, when you get that revelation, then you won't let

anybody tell you who you are. Because before I ever blew it,

God knew me. Before I made a choice.

God chose me before I ever did something to disappoint Him.

He saw me. He had a plan for me He wanted

to do. I was royally chosen.

I'm in a royal bloodline before I even get out of the womb.

Wow. Now I know the Bible says that

all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

The reality is we were born into the household of the King and

then we chose to rebel against our family lineage.

But he was compassionate, full of mercy, because he saw us

before we ever made the mistake, Paul said.

But when God, who set me apart even from my mother's womb, and

called me through his grace, was pleased, was pleased, was

pleased, was what was pleased. Do you understand that you were

in a place in God that was pleasing?

Before you became displeasing to Him, God first knew you under

favor. God first knew you as the one

who would be all that He ordained you to be.

He knew you there first. I mean, if we're going to go

back to remember, let's go ahead and go all the way back because

too many times we're going back. It's like we need to know our

sin to keep us holy. No, when I go back and say I'm

holy because He knew me before I blew it, He always saw me in a

place that I could be holy, that I could live holy, that I could

accomplish His task. I made mistakes along the way,

but God being rich in his mercy, ma'am, when when I had rebelled

against my own destiny and purpose for living, He found a

way of choosing me again. And when I made the choice to go

to Him because He chose me, then I can get to the place that was

there. But while I was being in my

mom's womb. Wow.

Jeremiah 1 five to seven says this before Paul says he set me

apart while I was in my mother's womb.

Jeremiah says it's close, but let me tell you, there's a place

before you even got there. He said before you form me in

the womb you knew me, and before you were born and before you

were born I consecrated you God. Talking to Jeremiah, he said I

have a point. Now notice you're not even in

the womb yet and he's already chosen your destiny.

He's chosen you. You are always a royal choice

before you even get into your mother's womb, He's already

chosen you and appointed you. For Jeremiah was to be a prophet

to the nations. Then I then I said at last, Lord

God, behold, I do not know how to speak because I'm a youth.

But the Lord said to me, do not say I'm a youth because

everywhere I send you, you shall go and all that I command you,

you shall what speak. Meaning, son, I have this all

written out before you even got into mom.

I just need you to echo what you hear from me.

I just need you to decree what I decree.

I just need you to do what I've already said in motion before

you ever got into mom. I mean, when we're talking about

choice, he chose you before you got to your mom.

That's not a mistake. You know how we talk about

pregnancies like there's mistakes?

You understand the enemy does all kind of things to kill,

steal and destroy, but you understand any child forming in

a womb didn't choose how they got there.

Y'all don't want to hear this yet?

God has already chosen them before they got there.

The way they got there is irrelevant to God, because how

can you get somewhere that God cannot deliver you?

I am convinced that there are things in this planet today that

you and I are having to do because someone chose to not let

one of them come into the earth. Because this isn't God saying I

knew only those who made it in. Hallelujah.

I said Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah.

I said Hallelujah. I mean, for every horrific story

of sin in someone's life that it is shipwrecked, bankrupt, it has

fallen apart. Their whole lives are in

shambles because of sin and they never get out ever.

There's someone who had the same experience and by the grace of

God and the mercy of God came out, became different, became a

child of God overcame, did the destiny because the devil cannot

stop what God has already thought about you before you

ever got into your mom can't do it, can't do it.

Nick came up during worship today and had a unction in a

spirit concerning something you know and again, as we have the

gifts of the spirit and operation and moving.

You know, you're always looking for the right time.

And when he communicated to me what he had in his spirit, I

said that fits in the message. So the spirit of the Lord would

say that there's some youth in here and that you're making

choices that are outside your destiny.

Because later on in Jeremiah, he says that I know the plans that

I have for you and you need to get into the plans he has for

you. Because you're squandering

precious time to try to experience a world you're not of

and that God has given through compassion, mercy, and good

parenting. Not perfect parenting, but good

parenting to have you in the household of God so that you can

hear truths from the and you can discover yourself.

Why don't you become a David that didn't wait till he became

an adult, but did it as a teenager?

In fact, the majority of the people used within Scripture,

Daniel, they were teenagers. Some scholars believe that even

the apostles were teenagers because when we talk about work,

we think about, you know, the US society, you know, and when

you're 18, you're an adult. No, back then you working when

you're young, Are you hearing me?

So these could have been easily teenage boys that were running

with Jesus. We know that David was just a

teenager. We know that Joseph was 17 years

old when God told him his destiny.

So you don't want to squander precious years to experience the

world you're not of because I can tell you from plenty, adults

hear it and go ahead and help the youth and testify.

Did the world give you everything you needed and you're

glad you ran to it? Anyone want to testify and say

I'm glad I ran to it? I'm glad the world was mine?

OK, let me ask this question. How many of you ran to the world

you knew you wanted it to answer and it would left you bankrupt

and hurt? How many of that learn?

You don't have to experience it yourself, because here's the

thing, you can't conquer God in your sin.

Hallelujah. Psalms 139 verses 13 to 16.

Psalms 139:13–16

He says you for you form my inward parts.

You wove me in my mother's womb, and I will give thanks to you.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made wonderful all your works,

and my soul knows it well. My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the depths

of the earth. Your eyes have seen my unformed

substance, and in your book, and in your book, and in your book,

and in your book were all say all were all say all, all

written. The days that were ordained for

me, when as yet there was not one of them.

Before you even came out of the mother's womb, God made a royal

choice to pick you. Pick you to pick you to do, to

be, to become, to release, to be connected, to be jointed and

fitted, to come alongside, to run with another group of chosen

chosen ones. Set apart.

And I'm not saying set apart from sin.

I'm talking about set apart before you even made the first

sin. Isn't that amazing, how our God

is this way? How our God is so powerful and

he leaves no details unturned? In fact, Matthew 1030 says this

concerning you, he said. But the very hairs of your head

are all numbered. I mean, we're talking detail,

you understand? God knows everything about you

more than you know about you. The detail of our Heavenly

Father. He's left nothing to chance.

All we have to do is reciprocate.

Following after being chosen and discovering you had a plan for

me before I even got into my mom.

You have a book with my name on it, and all I have to do is

discover what you've written. And This is why Jesus said you

didn't choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go bear

fruit. And if you ask anything to my

father in my name, he'll do it. Because when you're asking,

you're saying, Dad, what's in your book about me?

What's in what's in your book about?

What does that book say? Before I came into my mother's

womb? You've written them all out.

What does it say? And he'll say, you'll do this,

you'll say that. And This is why you'll always

have whatever you ask of the Father in the name of Jesus.

Because you're only fulfilling written pages.

You are fulfilling written pages concerning you before you were

ever born. God is obligated, meaning if you

tap into the book He has your name on, then He will fulfill

all those things. But if you want to have your own

autobiography, God will allow you to write your own pages, but

He'll judge you according to His book that He wrote concerning

you. This is why when you stand

before the judgment seat of Christ, the books He pulls out,

the first one is the Lamb's book of life, and He verifies your

names in there. He never gets that wrong.

I said He never gets that wrong. Once you qualify there, he shuts

that book. Then he opens up another book.

It's called the book he wrote about you before you ever got

into mom's womb. And then he pulls your book out,

the one you actually wrote. And when he goes page by page,

every cross T, every dotted I, he is very detailed.

He says this that he will judge us not an idle word that we will

not have to give an account to do you understand you could live

it to every grammar punctuation. I'm I'm using natural thought

processes here. OK, meaning you can be so in

tune with the Spirit that God when he starts to flip through,

because here's the thing, you started a book and then all of a

sudden chapters got into that book that sinned the rebellion.

But here's the good thing. When you made Jesus Lord, he

ripped those papers. He ripped those pages out.

You keep referring to chapters that he doesn't have in that

book anymore because you're in Christ.

I understand it is possible for you to be at a stand before the

Lord and his book and your book match and you're like, but wait

a minute, where is the failure? Where's the drunkenness for

years? Where's the fornication?

Where's the adultery? Where's the lying?

He said, well, that's under the blood that's been removed.

That's not even in the book anymore.

No, those books only are showing up on the day of the Great White

Throne judgement. So it's possible for you to make

a choice today and He can RIP out every personal decision that

you made without him so that you now can follow him the rest of

your life according to his design.

The royal choice. I said it's a royal choice.

Look what it says here in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10,

Ephesians 2:10

Paul writing to the church at Ephesus, he says, for we are his

workmanship created in Christ. Or notice what it does not say.

It does not say for heaven. It does not say for heaven.

Now again, this is the verse after the one that everyone

stops at, that you were saved, not of any works, lest any man

shall boast, but by grace through faith.

And we stopped there. I didn't do anything to deserve

it. Don't have to do anything now

that I'm here. But if you read the next verse,

he says now you are his workmanship, meaning He has

written about you before you. You encountered sin in the 1st

place, and now that you are back in Christ, in the King, you're

part of the family again. There are some good come on, say

it good. What good?

What works now? These are not works that earn

salvation. These are works of faith.

These are, I'm doing the pages that you wrote about me.

I am going to walk them out. I'm going to hear you by the

Spirit. I'm going to step where you tell

me to step. I'm going to stop where you tell

me to stop. I'm going to say what you tell

me to say. I'm going to hold my tongue when

you tell me to hold it. Amen.

I'm going to release the fruits of the Spirit and not the fruits

of the flesh. Hallelujah.

Amen. So there are some good works

which God what prepared when beforehand.

So before we were going to walk in them, He's already prepared

them. But in order for us to walk in

them, we have to obey by faith under the grace of God.

That actually causes the good works to show up now because we

are in Christ. Man, isn't that amazing?

I said, isn't that amazing? So when God says, listen, now

God has placed you in the body, each one of them where he

desires, it's because he always had in mind the original place

of man. Come on, you know where it's at

in Genesis chapter one verse 26 through 28.

Then God said, and when God says he's obligated to have a pathway

to fulfill his word. Now I say that because God will

always do what He says, but what has what He has instructed to

other free will creatures, those that have been created with free

will, they can make their own choice.

So God will fulfill His side and give you the opportunity to be

back in alignment with His side, but you could choose to not be

there and that's your choice, which then reciprocates to what

He has said about those who choose to be against Him, and He

fulfills that portion of His word.

OK, but it says then God said let us make man in our image

according to our likeness, and let them rule 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,

right? God created man in his own

image, in the image of God. He created and met him, male and

female. You ready?

Before you formed me in my mother's womb, I knew you.

So He knew who you were and what gender you would take prior to

getting in, which means he never misses that God never makes that

mistake. So He knows that when you get

into the womb, you'll be a female.

And He knows when you get into the womb you'll be a male

because He knew you prior. Hallelujah.

So God created him, male and female, He created them.

God bless them. And God said to them, guess

what? He said He didn't say I made

you. I do it all.

You can do nothing now that I've made you.

Come on up here and live with me.

No, he said, This is why you're here, Terrain.

This is your purpose. This is your royal destiny.

So be fruitful. Multiply, fill the earth and

subdue it. Rule over the efficiency, over

the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on

the earth. Aren't you glad that Jesus prior

to saying what God said, God created the heavens and the

earth, that He saw us prior as ones who will rule and reign

with him. He made a conscious choice

before we ever came into the planet at whatever age, whatever

time frame that he appointed us for a purpose.

And he has a book of your assignment that all you have to

do is choose to believe it, see yourself past your sin state and

see you in the prior to womb position.

Man, God's got a plan for me. Hallelujah.

With that being said, let's look at first Peter 2 and verse 9.

But you are a chosen lineage. I like that.

I like that. Say I'm a chosen lineage.

Say I'm a chosen lineage. Listen, you are royalty.

You're kings of the king. He always saw you as royalty

first. He never wanted you outside of

that royal assignment. He never wanted you outside of

that family position. He never wanted you outside of

your God design, purpose and destiny for living, breathing

and existing for all eternity. He never wanted you to exist

beyond that. But we did all fall.

We did fail. We did mess up, but God keeping

his word says I'll send my own son to redeem, restore, allow

man to get back in his original position of rulership.

I will take on their sin so they can take on my righteousness.

Then I can put them right back in the position that I always

ordained for them, and that is to rule and reign, and they will

be a chosen lineage. We are a chosen lineage, a royal

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

so that we may proclaim the excellencies of him who called

you out of darkness into his marvelous like.

The easy read version says it this way.

But you are his chosen people, the King's priest.

You are a holy nation, people who belong to God.

He chose you to tell about the wonderful things He has done.

He brought you out of the darkness of sin into His

marvelous light. Hallelujah, I said Hallelujah.

And not only should we testify of what he brought us out of,

but we should also testify of what His Kingdom is and what His

Kingdom represents. Because as chosen ones, not only

are we King's priests, which means we have authority on earth

to communicate God's righteousness, and righteousness

is God's way of doing things, which then gives us the

assignment of ambassadors. And ambassadors do not speak on

their own accord. You understand, in election

cycles, I don't actually choose. The Lord instructs me who to

pick. Hallelujah.

I said Hallelujah, because God knows the choice, This is why,

and he has to deal with man when man's trying to pick.

The prophet Samuel is a man of God, loves God, anointed of God.

In fact, every word that the prophet ever said came to pass.

Yet the anointed king Saul has been stripped of the anointing.

And the Lord says to his prophet, go pick the king, the

next king, which is a man after my own heart.

He said, OK, you know, if the king knows I'm going, he'll kill

me. He said, this is how you're

going to go. So he shows up at a man's house

by the name of Jesse, who has some sons, and the first one he

sees, the first one he what sees reminds him of the king,

qualities of the king who just had the anointing stripped.

And he says surely this is God's anointed.

But the Lord speaks to him in his spirit and says this is not

the guy and this is the problem. Man looks at the outward

appearance, but God looks at the heart.

Are you hearing me? Amen.

So he says the one who I'm picking is not even in the

house. Ultimate.

Now, he didn't tell him that he got to the end.

He's like, nobody's it, so there must be another one.

You got another boy somewhere. Because I'm nothing's going off

in my spirit saying we got somebody.

Oh, yeah, I got one more. He's out in the field.

He's the youngest. He's the what?

I'm so glad that David as a teenager didn't squander his

time in the pasture. I'm so glad he didn't do it.

I said, I'm so glad he didn't do it.

Amen. Now you could say, well, we have

to let people today, you know, all their hearts are on, then go

to their platforms. At that point you got to go to

the platforms. What does the platforms reveal?

And when you go to the platforms, then it reveals

policies or the direction they want to carry because, you know,

an unrighteous person can carry out a righteous policy.

But a righteous person who carries out unrighteous policy

is called a Pharisee and are wicked.

They compromise their character. All right, Revelations 5, we'll

close with this verse. In Revelations, it says this.

And they sang a new song saying, you are worthy to take the

scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain and have

redeemed us to God by your blood, out of every tribe and

tongue and people and nation. Man, that verse there gets me so

jacked. This is why when I look out at

Anchor Faith Church in Saint Augustine, I get excited.

This is why we're a Kingdom church.

I'm not a white church. I'm not a black church.

I'm not a Hispanic church. I'm not a brown, I'm a Kingdom

church. And it's evident.

I mean, we have so many nationalities sitting here

because it's being God is too creative to make us that boring.

And I'm telling you as a pastor, if I looked out at the

congregation and they look too much like me, I would have to

get a little upset and say, what is the problem?

What are we doing wrong? How come somebody that doesn't

look like me but identifies with me and cries can't fellowship

with me? What's the problem that's got to

be fixed? We don't have to fix it here

because we have it. Glory to God.

This is what why? Because of out of every tribe

and tongue and people and nation, we've all been redeemed

because of the blood. And we are not identifying

ourselves with the way we look. We identify ourselves with who

we are in Christ, with what the Bible says, with what our king

said. We are brothers and sisters in

Christ. We have the blood of the king.

Come on, we had the blood of the King then.

He says this because of redemption.

Guess what? You have made us kings and

priests to our God, and we shall reign.

Reign on the earth, man. It's time to reign now.

We don't have to reign during the millennial reign.

We don't have to wait to reign with the new heaven and new

earth and Jerusalem comes down out of heaven.

No, we get to reign in this life.

And the pages of your book are available for you to accomplish

now because you didn't choose Him, but He chose you before you

ever got in your mother's womb. And He is faithful to get that

book to come to pass in your life.

All stand to your faith. Say Hallelujah.

He is faithful to cause the pages of his book that he wrote

about you before you ever got in your mother's womb to come to

pass. He's faithful.

I said he's faithful. And you know what I love the

most about it is that your book is on the same shelf with my

book that I get to watch you fulfill your book as you watch

me fulfill my book. And you know what?

It's interesting how we'll be able to flip over Chapter 4

Pastor Earl and to Tyus went on a missionary trip.

Pastor Earl in LG all of a sudden, your names are in my

book, my band. Don't erase me out of your book.

You don't want to erase me out of your book because because the

things that I that's in your book about me is to help release

your destiny and the things in your book help us release my

destiny and fulfill a bigger vision.

I don't want to have a character change.

I don't want. I want you to be in chapters 345

and 6:00 and all of a sudden you're nowhere else in my book.

Because like Barnabas, that didn't go on with Paul.

All of a sudden Silas's name shows up.

Come on, let's stay in the book together.

Let's do a God's account because there's 8 billion plus people on

the planet. Nobody's going to reach them all

by themselves. Let's reach the ones we're

destined to do together.
