The King and His Kingdom

Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

from St. Augustine, FL.

Now enjoy this message. All right, if you have your

Bibles, turn to Matthew chapter 15.

Matthew 15 · chapter mention

I'm super excited about today because today is a day that the

Lord is allowing me to communicate the word of God

again. And I love these days because I

was just in an event. We went to summer camp and then

I flew to DC to attend where believers from all over the

nations came together to be able to, you know, hear from

different people that have are in office who aspire to be in

office. And we attended that event.

The number one reason why I attended that event is because I

am always, as a pastor, concerned about the believer.

I'm not concerned about the government.

You understand this. I have to do my part in the

government, but at the end of the day, the church thrives.

Period. There is no government on the

planet that can stop the church right now.

In the most oppressive governments.

The church is still growing. The church is growing in China

right now. You just don't hear about it

because the government will not talk to you about it.

But it's growing. It cannot be pushed out, cannot

be snubbed out. It cannot be destroyed.

Can it be persecuted? Yes.

But it doesn't stop it. In fact, if we look at our

history book called the Bible, we see that when persecution

does come to the church, it actually will grow.

It seems to have this ability that the tougher it gets, the

more wildfire it will spread. Like wildfire, it will spread

because there's something innately within the believer

that when pushback comes to the point of death, they are willing

to lay down their life like their king did, and it somehow

seems to spread his message at a greater level.

Now, that doesn't mean that the Lord doesn't want us to have

peace and that it can't because you understand, Jesus came to

the earth under a very tyrannical government called the

Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was not a nice

government, OK? And he could navigate.

You understand this. He actually had no issues with

the Roman government, not when he was ministering, didn't have

issues. He had issues with his own

nation and it was the religious people he had issues with

because it was the religious that they had partnered with the

local government and they like the government power that was

established within the Roman Empire instead of the government

power that was associated with the Kingdom of God.

They love the notoriety of men within government more than the

notoriety of the King himself, and as a result of that they

would adjust the word to be able to adopt what they considered

traditions. They would use God's words to

create these man made traditions that seem holy, but honestly

they were not. They were taking the word out of

context and they were actually causing the word not to not be

acted upon. And Jesus took great issue with

this. OK, but as far as with, you

know, the Roman government in general, he didn't have, he

didn't say much about it because to him it's, it's a mute point

'cause once the kingdom's in the earth, the kingdom's in the

earth, you can't take it out. It is the supreme government of

the planet. OK, Now why am I talking

government so much? Because the Bible's about a king

is Kingdom and Israel offspring. It actually is a governmental

document and so we've used it as a religious document for years.

When the reality is religion, if you use that term, if you break

it down, it means a belief system.

And you understand every government has a belief system.

So we've tried to separate something when the reality is

the state of any government is the state of the church.

Now with that being said, I'm in a room with all these believers

from different types of belief systems when I say that

denominations and all that. And so I'm listening because the

ones that are elected to office stand behind the lectern and

begin to quote scripture. If you're going to quote

Scripture, my ears are going to be listening to determine, to

determine. Are you rightly dividing that

scripture? Because both Republicans and

Democrats, as far as a party, quote scripture, but even the

devil quotes scripture. Are you hearing me?

I have seen a trend happening that gives me great concern and

that is where Christians in the United States are trading their

Christianity for being a conservative.

OK, that got quiet. I love that you understand being

a conservative is not holy, nor is being a liberal, but you

understand in the Kingdom of God there is.

He is very liberal about some things.

I'm not talking about policies that are the same.

I'm just saying in the term liberal, God has some very

liberal things that he does, but on the other side, he's

extremely conservative. So they take terms that come

from our government and they tend to use it in their

particular platforms and then use his words to try to make

their point. One of the ones most used within

the Democratic Party is Matthew chapter 25.

Matthew 25 · chapter mention

And in Matthew chapter 25, it says, if we do this to the least

Matthew 25 · chapter mention

of one of these of ours, now, that is one of the most

misquoted unscriptural statements that they make,

because the context of Matthew 25 is not to the world.

When I was naked, you gave me clothes.

When I was hungry, you gave me food.

That was not to the world. It says, if you've done this to

the least of one of mine, well, who's his?

Because the world is not Jesus's.

The church is Jesus's. But yet no Republican questions

the Scripture to them because they don't know it either.

Most of the time they don't know it.

And so they spout all things, communicate things.

And I've realized that there is this rallying happening and I

understand there is a moral issue that's happening in our

land. And if again, if you go just to

Scripture and many people dispute Thomas Jefferson in this

context, I wasn't there personally.

So I do not currently know his motivation.

There are those that lean on one side that said he, he

emphatically believed in Jesus Christ as Lord.

There are others on another side that said that he was a deist,

which means he believed in a God, but not necessarily that

Jesus was the Son of God. I don't know and never talked to

him personally, but I will say this based upon the Thomas

Jefferson Bible, which is he took extracted out and again

when I said this understand there's a reason why that is.

I don't know which one specifically.

If it is the one that he just didn't believe that Jesus was a

miracle worker and he took it out, well, that would be a

problem. According to Scripture, you're

not supposed to take things out. OK, if that was his intent,

that's a problem. But if his intent was, let's not

debate as a nation of whether or not Jesus is the Son of God.

Let's just look at his moral work and if you in which if you

extract the miracles out and just look at his moral work,

which is his social work. If a nation live by that social

order alone, it would be blessed and prosperous and would be good

for the all of mankind. And that's what's his point.

I believe potentially if you look at just the standards that

Jesus put within the moral fabric of humanity, if you base

laws upon that, then the society as a whole, whether you're

righteous or unrighteous, would be blessed as a result of it.

And, and there's a point there to be made, however, in our

nation because of this issue. And I'll be honest with you, I

was a little vocal in the crowd. My wife had to shush me, had a

particular speaker say that it was the church's responsibility

or it's it's problem for the problems of our nation.

They blame the church. Well, I take issue with that

statement. The number one reason why I take

issue with that statement is, is that we have a huge trend today

in our nation where people call themselves believers but do not

actively attend the church. So here's the thing, if you're a

Republican or Democrat or any other party, which you know, the

Green Party, the Libertarian Party, I don't know them all,

'cause there's quite a few parties out there that you're

unaware that are there because they give them no media time.

But in all those parties, they will tell you the only way we

can win an election is if we come together, we mobilize, we

turn, turn out and vote. That means we have to do it on a

very specific time frame. Oh, y'all don't want to hear

this? In essence, they'll say we need

you to go vote. You either need to do it the

minute early voting opens. That means it's a defined time,

or the day of election, which is November the 5th.

It is. Polls open at 7:00 AM.

They close I think at 7:00 PM, usually 12 hours.

That is a defined time and you need to get out and vote and

then you're going to say the church is the the the the

blaming party of the condition of our nation.

When pastors are giving just fine times for us to come

together in unity so that we can grow in the things of God and

the culture of the Kingdom. That way we can go out as a

group to influence the world. No one would even be talking

about Trump's re election run if he went to a community and no

one showed up, no one showed up. Everybody would laugh, say well

when he first ran, thousands, 10s of thousands, hundreds of

thousands showed up. Now he gets out there, nobody's

there. Why are we?

Why do people take notice? Because everyone seems to show

up at the time spoken to assemble and then we want to say

it's the church's problem. Well, I would say it's the

believer's problem because it's not the church's problem.

The church has been assembling, but has the believer?

I said has the believer because if we have been assembling and

if we have been growing in the things of the Kingdom, if we

have actually been rightly interpreting the word of God and

not seen it as a document that it causes us to escape the

earth. Where are we going to go when we

die book. But how do we change our culture

in the earth through our culture that's from another world.

While we're in the earth, then you know what?

Our nation would be different. And I'll say it this way.

If you truly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the

Word of God is the infallible word of God, and you actually

rightly divide it through the interpretation with the Holy

Ghost, then every professing believer in the United States in

two election cycles would remove any type of politician that was

wicked and only put those in that had an ear towards the

Lord. I'm not saying that they had to

be born again, they would just be an ear towards the Lord.

It would only take two election cycles, but because we don't

assemble, so it's not the church, it's a disengaged

believer. Same thing if someone loses an

election, typically what they do, they'll say, well, the

voters didn't turn out. We had low voter.

There's plenty of, I mean, right now you understand, in our

nation, Anila, do you know off the top of your head how many

people typically vote in an election?

25, OK. I think they said for believers,

only about 25% of profession believers turn out to vote.

That means 75% don't assemble. Don't assemble.

In fact, every registered voter in our county has never voted on

an Election Day. We've always had absentees,

meaning they didn't vote. So once again, you would hear a

politician say this if you didn't vote, you shouldn't

complain about your government. Well, I would say if you don't

attend church, you shouldn't. You shouldn't talk about the

church. If you don't attend church

actively and submitted to a pastor and a local vision, then

you should quit complaining about the church.

You should quit because again, you have no actual investment in

some in the organization that Jesus invested his blood for.

Hallelujah. Say Amen.

Anyway, Matthew 15 three says this y'all doing all right, all

right. And he answered and said to

them, why do you transgress? Why you self transgress the

commandment of God for the sake of your tradition.

I love the Kingdom of God because the Kingdom of God

destroys every religious tradition, absolutely dismantles

it. And the Bible again is about a

king, his Kingdom and his rural offspring.

It's always been about that and we need to learn this more than

ever because the the suffering servant is not returning.

The suffering servant is not returning.

The Lamb that was slain is coming back in a in a different

role now. He all, he came in this role,

but he yielded himself. But the next time there is no

yielding. His first assignment is He must

take on the sins of the world. He takes on the sins of the

world so that he can gain power again in the earth.

What do I mean by that? Giving the power back to whom

the power was due. Are you hearing me?

How do we know this? In Genesis 11 we said in the

beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Psalms 8911 says this. The heavens are yours.

The earth also is yours. The world and all it contains,

You have founded them. So God never lost planet earth.

He formed it, He made it. It's his by right of creation.

Isaiah 4518 says, For this is what the Lord says, He who

created the heavens, He is God who fashioned and made the

earth, He founded it. He did not create it to be

empty, but formed it to be inhabited.

So God created the earth with us in mind.

God is in heaven, that is his place, that's his residence, OK.

And heaven is a literal place, OK.

It's not this unseen realm in in one sense it is seen, we just

don't technically see it. And it is a defined place

because it is called heaven. Heaven is not all encompass of

everything else. OK so heaven is a defined place.

Although God Himself is is everywhere and is all knowing,

omnipresent, all that, there still is a containment by which

Heaven has yet. Then He creates this thing

called earth, and when he creates this earth, He had a

concept in his mind of what He would do.

In Psalms 115 verses 15 and 16, he says, May you be blessed of

Psalms 115:15

the Lord Maker of heaven and earth.

The heavens are the heavens are the Lord, but the earth He has

given to the sons of man. The the NIV of verse 16 says it

this way. The highest heavens belong to

the Lord, but the earth He has given to man.

Are you hearing me? And I find it interesting

because of some of the things that are happening in our

nation. The enemy has done a really good

job because he knows what's going down.

Can I say that the enemy knows what's going down?

Let me Fast forward real quick. Just so you understand, the

devil is fully aware of the Kingdom of God because in the

Luke's temptation of Jesus, he takes Jesus to a high place.

He shows him all the kingdoms in a moment of time.

He did not show him the the the world's religions because

religions were nothing that Jesus was struggling with.

He was not struggling on whether Bail was the real God or not,

whether the gods of Rome were the real gods or not, or the

gods of the fallen Greek Empire. Where gods are are what ones

that preceded all that stuff before.

Or was Molech really a real guy? He was not struggling with God

issues. He knew who God was because he

came from God. He had been with God, he was

God. He had no identity crisis when

it came to God. So religion was something that

the devil never tempted him with.

But what he did tempt him with is what Jesus was coming after,

because the Bible says Jesus came to seek and to save that

which was lost, not who was lost.

See, we've changed the whole dialogue of the Bible to be

about you. It includes you.

But that which he came to seek and to save was the Kingdom to

be restored back to those who choose to want it.

Because even Jesus knew there's no guarantee they'll accept the

position I I originally made for them.

And if they don't, they don't have to.

Because I will not make them make me king, even though I am

king nonetheless. They can choose because love

lets you choose love lest you choose.

And so Jesus came to save that which was lost, which was the

Kingdom of God. He shows him all the kingdoms in

a moment of time, and he says all these domains I'll give to

you, for they have been handed over to me and I can give them

to whomever I wish. The devil clearly communicates

to Jesus. They were handed over to me.

And you hear ministers say all the time that the devil stole

it. The devil stole.

The devil did not steal it. Adam abdicated his throne.

He gave it away. He knew what he was doing.

He chose to operate in rebellion, the most dangerous

word in the Kingdom. Are you ready is independence?

And this is a problem for the USA church because we like our

U.S. government in our churches, we have this independent spirit.

Nobody going to tell me what to do.

Well, that doesn't work in His Kingdom.

I said that doesn't work in his Kingdom.

And this is very important because as many times as I've

ministered on the Kingdom and I know of a lot of people who know

this, I can watch them slip away in their day-to-day life of the

Lordship of Jesus, that doing his word is optional in their

lives. Whether to forgive someone,

whether to walk in joy and put down anger or you know, feelings

of low self esteem, picking up an offense yet you know, because

the king said. And yet if we don't watch out,

we'll pull independence back in. It's OK for us to come and

worship and have an issue with our brother.

It's OK for us to worship and have a challenge with someone.

It's OK for us to tell somebody about themselves.

Hallelujah, we fall away. But independence is the most

dangerous word in the Kingdom. The second most dangerous word

in the Kingdom is rebellion. And the minute you want to be

independent, you're going to rebel.

Now let me tell you what you do not lose in the Kingdom is your

individuality. So do not mistake individuality

with independence. Individuality.

God is way too creative to make us the same.

This is why when you look at the church, it's going to look

different. On the outside, it'd be easy for

it to look different, but on the inside it's going to function

the same. What do I mean by that?

Every spirit being within the vessel that carries it will be

yielded, compliant with all their heart, to the voice of the

King, knowing he has absolute authority.

They love that he has absolute authority because he's the only

one who can carry that absolute authority without ever failing.

And we're thankful that he carries it and he loves us.

And he made a way for us to come out of our rebellion, come out

of our independent spirit, and become fully dependent on Him,

where we are led by his Spirit as he was led by the same

Spirit. Jesus said, I don't do anything

on my own initiative, but only what I hear from the.

And if Jesus would never deviate from what the Father says, why

do we think we can? Because we want U.S. government

in our church. Now, the Declaration of

Independence was technically just a document to say we do not

want the oppressive, you know, rule that you have and it and it

really bowled out of taxation without representation, right?

You know, basically exploiting us and you're not even here and

we have no representation. So we're just going to do our

own nation. It wasn't because we want to be

independent of ourselves. This is why we coined the phrase

eventually the United States. But man, is there not a push to

not be united anymore? Well, the minute you can bring

division in a house, what will not?

So there is an undercurrent in our own nation to divide us.

And George Washington, when he was leaving his second term, as

the president said prophetically, that he was

concerned that our government would come to a two party

platform and it would become so divisive that it would get

nothing done. And the Republican and

Democratic Party weren't even around then.

They were different parties at that time, but there were two

specific that were at odds. And he said that if it came to

that, it would turn around and and run the risk of the

Republic. And ma'am, we are here today.

I said we're here today. But I have to admit there is a

group of people that are trying to become independents.

But independent itself is dangerous.

Being an independent itself is dangerous.

So God creates this earth with no one on it at first.

But it was designed for man. I said it was designed for man.

He wants to give man the rule of the earth as he rules in heaven.

And the devil says, I'll give you all this domain, for it's

been handed over to me and I can give it to whomever I want.

Even the devil knows this is about a Kingdom.

So he there are terms the devil are using today to try to squash

or hinder the revelation of the Kingdom of God to come to the

church, especially in the United States.

Because if you have the revelation of the Kingdom of

God, which is not a subject, it is the Bible, then he knows your

faith will go to another level, your lordship goes to another

level, all the blessings of the Kingdom go to another level, and

there's nothing he can do to stop you.

That you'll recognize the position the church really has

in your life and what it means for you to be an actual

ambassador. Are you hearing me?

So the original inhabitants on planet earth were not of a

different culture than heaven, but we're actually of the

offspring of the king himself. Genesis 126 says then God said,

let us make man in our image and corner our likeness, and let

them have what? Dominion over the fish of the

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

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

He created man in his own image and the image of God.

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

Dominion means to govern. It means to rule, it means to

control things, it means to manage, it means to master

something, It means to have rulers.

So notice he said, let them have dominion over who?

Fish, birds, cattle, earth. When we say earth, the things

that are growing are associated with the earth specifically, and

then every creepy thing that creeps on the earth.

Notice what man was not to have rule over other humans.

This is why every election cycle becomes a challenge for us

'cause we really don't want to vote for somebody, some human,

to be over us. Because God never intended for

humans to be over humans, but that God would be over us as a

people. Because again, the Kingdom that

God has is not a Kingdom of slaves or servants, but a

Kingdom where all of us that are citizens are kings themselves.

So when I look at you so well, hello king, right?

And when you're king, guess what?

You have all rule, all authority, all power over what?

Over yourself and then over the environment that is around you.

It should not rule you. This is why you've heard us say

before, after the fall of man, what man should have reigned

over, started reigning over him. Why are there so many humans

addicted to plants? Tobacco leaves were never

supposed to tell humans what to do.

Cocaine was never supposed to tell humans what to do.

Marijuana was never supposed to dictate the behavior and actions

of humans. And when you become a child of

the king, you'll say plant. You don't talk to me no more.

Are you hearing me? When you get this revelation,

you'll no longer allow plants to dominate you.

You won't even let grapes dominate you.

Grapes that get mixed with this thing called yeast and barley

and ferments. You won't make it, won't control

your life. I'll say Amen anyway.

Yeah. I mean again.

Well, you know, I have to have. You have to have.

No, you have to have the Lord. You have to have the spirit.

That's what you have to have. And that's what you need.

If you're having to have something else, then you're

bowing your knee too. But you understand this escapes

everyone's notice when all the Bible to them is about Jesus

dying on the cross for your sins so that when you die, you go to

heaven. In fact, if we read the Bible

and we'll see even see here in the beginning pages, I mean

before sin even hits the planet, God makes man in his image

according to his likeness, both male and female.

There we know their names are Adam and Eve.

And guess what, Adam and Eve were not singing this song in

heaven in in the earth. When we all get to heaven, what

a day of rejoicing that will be. They were not singing that song.

In fact, he's puts man in this garden.

He says, Adam, you can eat from any tree of the garden.

I mean, I've provided everything for you.

In fact, I expect that you're going to take my image that's in

you, and you're going to rule there as I rule here, as I speak

to you of what to do. You do it in the earth.

And whatever you say is what I've said, and it has to listen.

It will obey your voice. Are you hearing me?

And he says you can have any fruit from any tree, but of the

tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat.

For the day you eat you will, surely.

So if Adam had never eaten the fruit, where would he be today?

So Adam was not trying to go to heaven.

And here's the kicker, God wasn't actually asking him to

come, because God didn't have to have Adam come to heaven to be

with him. He came right down here.

You know how many believers today that only know the think

the Bible's about where am I going to go when I die or just

waiting to go to heaven so bad. Yet if they read the Bible

actually cover to cover, they realize God was constantly

coming down. He's never been waiting on us,

nor is he like can't wait till you get here.

Oh my gosh, can't wait till you get here.

Oh, can't wait till you get here.

I just want you to be here with me.

Are you seriously? Even after the fall, he comes

down. He comes down to talks to Noah.

He comes down to burning Bush with Abram, right he or to

Moses. He comes down talks to Abram.

He comes down in the temple. He comes down on the mountain.

He comes down on the in the anointing upon prophets, priests

and kings. He comes down then we get Jesus.

His name is Emmanuel, which means God, not God, can't can't

wait till you get to me. Emmanuel doesn't mean can't wait

till you get to me. He's constantly coming down.

Then the kicker, Jesus says, man, now that I've conquered

death, hell in the grave and my blood's been poured all in the

mercy seat in heaven, I'm leaving because he's coming and

the Holy Ghost is going to live in you.

I'm bringing God to you. And we say.

It greater is he that's in and we want to leave the earth.

Like we just can't wait to. Get up out of here.

It's 'cause you don't know you're in a Kingdom, 'cause

when. You know you're in a Kingdom.

You're like, what can you do to me?

I how's. God, I am the temple of the Holy

Spirit. I have a direct connection with

God. You may take out world's

communications, you may take out satellites, you may lock up my

iPad. You may shut down all my

accounts. You may do all those things, but

you cannot shut down my connection with the Creator of

heaven and earth. Can't do it.

You. Can't shut down.

The communication lines between me and the Kingdom I am of, and

that Kingdom is in the earth and you sure can't get rid of it.

Amen. Hallelujah so.

He's given us. Rulers, we are the most powerful

force on the planet. The thing I was.

Most discouraged about this weekend was it was #1 is that

when things were spoken from Scripture, the hearers from the

majority took it hook, line and sinker.

One person had the audacity to say this, that it's time for the

flock to rise up against the shepherds and lead them.

Yes, and I said something out loud.

I said that's. Nowhere in Scripture.

My wife's, Like I said, there's nothing.

There's nowhere in Scripture. Nowhere in Scripture.

In fact, in one of God's with one of God's prophets, he's

correcting his shepherds and he's telling them you getting

fat off the flock, you're not feeding the flock like I told

you, so I'm going to remove you. He never said I'm raising up a

flock. He said I will raise up another

shepherd. Anytime.

Somebody thinks the Saints are supposed to rise up against the

shepherds. That is the spirit of

Antichrist. Can Shepherds?

Fail, yes, and we're hearing about a lot of them.

But you understand, Saints fail all the time.

And all those Saints run. To those pastors, ask for

reconciliation, ask for forgiveness.

Now I understand they're at a higher accountability.

They need to be removed from their office.

They need to go somewhere else and get restored.

I have no problem with that. But to think a pastor cannot be

restored as well, that's ludicrous.

The attack on the church. And its institution today, which

is not a religious thing unless you're building it, crazy little

thing. We're on the little back roads

of Virginia when we were going to camp.

And this little church has there's nothing wrong with the

church. There's only something wrong

with the church. There's nothing wrong with the

church, God's building. There's only something wrong

with the church. Man's building.

And that's true because most pastors don't know Matthew 1618

where Jesus said, and I will build my church.

He never delegated the building of church to me, but I am an

overseer that he put me in charge of this vision that Jesus

Christ put me here because of his blood.

And the Holy Spirit made me overseer.

And because of that, I'm going to run this vision by the

leading of the Holy Ghost and let's all come together and do

it. And it'd be amazing thing.

Period only. One person can Take Me Out of

the pulpit. Me.

If I don't fail, I don't have to go.

Hallelujah. Neither do.

You have to go if you're not failing now we none of us have

to technically go. We can all be forgiven.

But you know, my position is more open and failure is a

problem, which that's why I have the fear of the Lord.

I'm more concerned about. God, than I am about you anyway.

Are you hearing me? But they're making these

statements and they take it hook, line and sinker.

And the one who made the statement actually just had an

issue with the denomination they were in because they didn't like

that he was actually standing for truth.

And so the system of his religion pulled his credentials.

And so now he's developed this kind of life.

Well. Just 'cause I mean you, maybe

you shouldn't have been that organization anyway.

Maybe you should have read enough scripture to realize, you

know, the organization in love itself wasn't the most

healthiest one and releasing the power of God.

I mean, I've gone through denominations myself and for

only one reason. Because the denomination I was

raised in only taught Where do I go when I die?

It was the only. Truth and it was the truth Jesus

Christ died for my sins. His death, burial, resurrection

is the only way that I'm to the can go to the Father.

I must be born again taught me that I I could avoid damnation

or the lake of fire. Those were truths but did not

teach me how to overcome my flesh.

Did not teach me the baptism of the Holy Ghost, Did not teach me

about the authority of believer. Didn't teach me any of those

things. Didn't even touch the subjects.

So when I got hungry for. God, God was obligated to meet

my hunger. Because he will.

Feed the hungry. He loves those who hunger and

thirst for his, which is his way of doing things.

And if the church that I was at wasn't teaching those things, as

Paul said, I've not withheld from you the full council of

God. If they were not doing that,

then God's obligated to move me to the next thing.

But He was really good the way He did it because He sure

immersed me into places that would allow me to continue to

grow properly. Are you hearing me?

And so I moved to the next one, which then I found out about the

indubent of power from on high, the baptism of the Holy Ghost,

this other experience with the Spirit of God that actually just

gave me the language of my Kingdom.

You know, so many people get so freaked out about speaking in

other tongues, but they get, they don't freak out over

someone speaking in Spanish, German, Poland, Polish language

or any other language when they encounter somebody in our In

fact, my wife and I, we were at the airport in Washington and no

one that we spoke to, whether it was at the ticket counter, at

TSA, at a restaurant had an English accent.

Everyone almost from another. Nation and some of them didn't

even know how to really talk well.

And I didn't freak out, nor did I freak out when I was hearing

people speak other languages. But when you get to do with

power from Ohio, you'll speak in a new tongue.

It's unknown to your mind, but God hears it.

You know it's from the Spirit. You release it and you're

praying out the perfect will of God.

Man, I went to a church that taught me on the power of God

and that and I received that truth and I've never been the

same. Then God continue to progress.

Me why? Cause of hunger and he's moved

us into the Kingdom of God as well.

A Kingdom is a government influence of a king over his

territory, impacting it with his personal will, purpose and

intent. There's only one will that.

Will remain his. Jesus's.

Statement forces two things. Jesus says that forces you to

change 'cause God is not changing.

God is not a man that he should lie number one.

Number two, and the Bible says God changes not.

Why 'cause he's life. He is life.

He is the source of life. His words are the source of

life. For him to go against his word

is death. This is why he.

Doesn't This is why he doesn't do it, Because his words are

life. Period.

And so he's the embodiment of life.

Jesus made two statements. He said I am next word I am.

I am way truth life. I am.

What's that word? What's that word?

The not a he doesn't say I am a way.

I am my truth. I'm a life.

He doesn't say that. The minute he says I am the way,

then he eradicates any other way.

This is the thing with me and you know, people like you know,

it's just so confusing. It's not confusing.

It's not confusing because again, you've seen it before

where you have the like the little points up here ABC and

then there's 123 and there's like all these little scribbly

things all and you got to figure out, you know, does 2 connect

with A or is it B or C? And you got to follow that whole

little yarn string, you know, and it's like all them, but with

God. He's over on this other side,

right? He's got AK for Kingdom and he

got, you know, one. He's the only way, right one and

and and there's no other string involved.

It's just a straight line. And it's like, well, that's

easy. This not.

Complicated. Jesus eradicated every other

thought when he says I am, the way, the truth, the life.

There's no other way to the Father but I'm it.

So again. Wide is the gate and that's why

there's so many is why 'cause all the strings you.

Don't know which. Way you going and you don't know

if you've crossed over or whatever, but he said narrow.

It's just real straight path, not complicated, just straight,

he said. But many want to get on all that

broad stuff instead of seeing the path that allows you to see

straight to the end. Are you hearing me then He.

Makes this statement repent for the Kingdom of heaven is a hand.

The word repent is not have a sorrowful emotional response of

all your wrongdoing and say Jesus, I need you as my Lord.

That is not repentance. We've made that word repentance

into that kind of action. You need to come and repent.

I've done wrong. Oh, God, I don't want a bird to

go to hell. Thank you.

Thank you for saving me. Right.

But then they don't change. They leave the altar and live

the same way. And then drinking, boozing,

fornicating, adultery, whatever they're doing, living like the

rest of the world, talking like the rest of the world.

But in all those moments, say, yeah, I ask Jesus, come on, I'm

a believer. I'm going to heaven when I die.

Because we've said. Repentance as this emotional,

sorrowful moment. In essence, I would say this.

We have defined repentance. With a with a.

A context of Esau. Esau gave up his.

Birthright sold it. He gave, he gave all that stuff

up. He just wanted the blessing.

So when Dad gave the blessing to his oldest brother, he's crying,

sobbing. Where's my blessing?

And I want to go too. Because I'm not I'm.

Sorry I missed out on the benefits, but as far as a change

of action, that ain't me. And he says Esau sought for

repentance even in tears, but could not find it.

Jesus said repent which means this change your thinking.

So Jesus is very. Clear your your mind's messed

up. Your thinking's off.

See, there's a way that seems right to a man, but in the end

lies. He says that thinking's wrong.

Now here's the problem. You'll never think better until

your spirit is new. You'll never think better till.

Your spirit is new, your spirit's been made alive.

So Jesus says I'm going to do the thing you can't do.

I'm going to die for your transgression because your

spirit man is dead and separated from me.

For all have what sin and fallen short of the glory of God.

I'll take that on if you'll call me Lord.

We love to call him. Savior but.

That's calling. Him Savior doesn't get you

saved. Lordship is what gets you saved.

Are you hearing me? Lordship is what it gets you

saved. Lordship it means, and it's not

even a religious word. It means supreme in authority.

It is supreme in authority. In our natural government, we

have the highest court. It's called the Supreme Court,

and when they lay down a ruling, it becomes the supreme.

There is no appeal beyond it. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

There is no appeal beyond it is the supreme authority of that

case. Well, good news.

There's a court above the Supreme Court in.

Our nation. 'Cause we're a holy nation, we

are peculiar people and it is the throne room of God.

It's the throne of grace. Are you hearing me?

So we can make an appeal to the highest of High Courts and get

his word on the matter and his word will always come to pass.

Always. It never fails.

Are you hearing me? So Jesus, when he says you're

going to call on me to be Lord, you have to have him as supreme

in authority. This is not a religious

exercise. To make Him Lord means I laid

down my life and the life I live now.

I live completely at the submission to your will for my

life. And why do we do it?

Because number one, He loved us and He made he met every

condition necessary so that we could voluntarily accept Him as

our Lord and yield to His Lordship.

And then he makes us in His image.

He crowns us as King. He gives us back dominion.

He puts authority back on our life.

He allows us to rule and reign in this life and the one to

come. Wow, what an awesome deal.

Not just man you just man. You got to hold on bro.

Jesus like, hold on. Stuff down there, man.

Stuff did. Jesus say it was tough.

Down here, sure he did. He said it this way, though.

In this life you're going to have trials and tribulation, and

most believers stop there. Oh, it's been hard, It's been

hard. Devil's after me.

It's hard, man. It's hard down here.

It's tough, it's tough. I can't wait to go to heaven.

I keep reading the verse. I say keep reading the verse.

Quit stopping at the verse in the verse where it meets your

emotional feeling. Keep reading.

And get in faith, he said. In this life you going to have

trials and tribulation. But come on, say.

But. But be of good tears doesn't say

that doesn't say for you to be crying the whole time.

It's hard I. Mean how can you even?

Identify as being a victim. Because we've all been a.

Victim of something, but he tells us to identify with

victory, with cheer. He said be of good cheer.

Then he tells you why you can laugh, have joy, be excited.

Joy's not temporary. You can have it anytime.

You can pull it in, as it was said by the Spirit of the Lord

this morning. I can pull it in now.

I can pull it in now. I mean, sometimes I wish the

Lord would allow me to come by and slap you in the face.

I do. And slap that dead look off your

face. I mean when you're in this.

Kind of environment, knowing what the king does and the best

you can do is. I'm like, where's?

Joy. Can we not slap some joy on?

I mean, how hard is? This to get excited about what

Jesus did for you. I mean, it's kind of crazy now,

at the end of the day, there have been like the healing

revivals where, you know, people had tumors and they're like,

punch them and they punched in the tumor.

I wish the Lord would say just slap happy on them.

Damn. And then they just fall out

laughing and get all excited, right?

Like, get happy, get excited, man.

God loves you. He died for you.

He's giving you the ability to reign.

He's giving you his Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

He said man have. Your what can man do to you

people stressing over an election.

I mean, all they're doing is talking about it.

If we don't elect this one, we're going to lose our whole

country. Well, listen, all the countries

are being lost because the kingdom's the only one that's

going to stay. Now, I'm not saying don't do

your responsibility. And it's better when we're in

peace because the gospel can go further in peace.

However, I don't care how it turns out.

At the end of the day. They can never dethrone my king.

He was not voted in power. He can't be voted out of power.

You can't kill his other kings. You can't suppress his book.

You can do none of those things to stop him.

We are in an unstoppable force. I wish they'd let me.

Preach at one of these little things one day, 'cause at the

end of the day man, let's get out of mamby pamby Christianity.

Let's become citizens that are locked and united together,

changing communities together because we look like God.

We don't see as man sees on the outward appearance, we look at

the heart. Hallelujah.

Amen. The Lord's good.

I'm it's going to be like a series now.

My creative guy's like, really? Yeah, why not?

Let's just preach this thing for a little while.

Let me. Close with this thought and then

we'll come back to it next week and Genesis 3, as you know.

The fall of Man. Most people preach the Bible

from Genesis chapter 3 to Revelations chapter 20, and

Genesis 3 · chapter mention Revelation 20 · chapter mention

it's. Called the Fall of Man.

They do not deal with how man existed in Genesis one and two,

which was a totally different existence, nor did they deal

with man's existence from Revelations 21 and 22.

Most Christians today would be shocked if you went to them and

said said to them you. Know we're not.

Going to be in heaven forever. They would be.

Shocked at that statement, however, the Bible clearly

communicates that there's a new heaven and new Why are.

We making a new. Planet.

Why? Is the new Jerusalem coming down

out of heaven to the. Our modern day US.

Christianity has abandoned the earth.

Yet God is going to live. Here.

Going to set up his. Full blown throne and

administration here. Now again.

Am I saying that you're not going to heaven?

Absolutely. The Bible is very clear to be

absent from the body. You'll be what present.

With the Lord, where is. The Lord presently at He's in

heaven, but is he staying there? He is not.

You know what? Most believers would be shocked

at this statement because they think when they die, they'll

never see sin again. Now it's true they won't

participate in it. But they'll see it again.

Because after the catching away of the church, Jesus Christ will

come back, put his foot down in the earth, and reign for 1000

years on a planet without the devil's influence.

For 1000. Years where there will be humans

that are still in the lost state and we will reign with him on

the planet as his judges in different territories.

This is. Why it's so important for us to

understand the Kingdom? Because most believers are only

thinking about going to heaven, receiving a reward that they

have no context of what that actually even means.

They think, apparently, that they're going to retire.

And that angels are going. To swing through and drop grapes

in their mouth because they're fat and naked anyway, like

little babies, right? Yet the Lord's life, when he

rewards you, he's going to say, this is what you're going to do

for me in the millennial reign. What we're doing now is the

resume for the next Earth. Are you hearing me?

But he says to man. You can eat from any tree of

the. Garden, but of the tree of the

knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for the day you

eat you will surely and. Many people ask.

Me. Why did God do that if he knew

he was going to eat the fruit? Why?

Well, I'll tell. You why?

Because there's no way for God to know you love him.

Unless you are given a. Choice.

Jesus. Defines our love for God and it

is not the US Christianity definition the US Christianity

definition of love is we accept you just as you are that's.

Good. We love you, don't matter what.

You've done. We love you.

That is not biblical definition of love.

It's not because God does not love us in our current state, in

this context, that He's accepting us.

Because if he accepted us in our.

Current state. Then there would be no reason

for us to be born again. Nor would there be in a.

Requirement for blood. I don't have time to teach.

On the subject of love though, I will again this year on a Sunday

and I will release it because for those that you know, we've

gone through this detail and most do not know what we know

concerning it. We did not release that series

at that time, but the next time we will, OK.

And so Jesus met every condition you have fallen into so that you

can. Come out of.

By making him Lord. But you have to choose so when

God says you can eat from any tree of the garden, because here

I've made Adam in my image from my breath.

He is a living being. He's of my nature.

Well God is love. The Bible tells us this in first

John that God is love, not that he knows love, but that he is

love. So if he came from the nature of

God, then Adam himself must be of the nature of love.

However, how does God know that Adam loves him?

He must do his word. Jesus said this in John 15.

He says if conditional statement, if you love me, he

did not say you'll tell me, he said you'll keep my word.

This is why. I know that there's problems

within our Christian community in the earth because we are

bringing our independent thinking, Democrat, democratic

democracy I. Get to do what I want to do.

I have the freedom to. Do what I want to do mentality

into the church. Well, that may be good for you.

You can do what you want to do with God, but I'm going to God

does not have a different standard for his children.

And if you're born of his nature, then it's.

Easy for you to say, I love doing God because His word is

life. And I'm going to demonstrate

that I love you because I keep your word.

I keep your word. So the fall of man was not a

fall from heaven, it was a fall from dominion.

So the purpose? And goal.

Of God's redemptive plan is to restore mankind back to God's

original plan, the restoration. Of God's King's.

Dominion to Earth is God's ultimate goal.

Adam lost a Kingdom, not a religion, and therefore the

redemptive work of the Creator would be the re establishment of

his Kingdom on the earth. This is why Jesus only said one

time after. Midnight to a.

Religious man named nicodemus in John chapter 3 in context to the

John 3 · chapter mention

Kingdom when nicodemus. A religious leader.

That had access to the scrolls, the Torah, the first five books

of Moses, the prophets, the minor prophets, Psalms, all

those books. And then he looks at you and

says you've got to be from God because of the works that you're

doing. And Jesus said unless to a man

privately, only time he did it. To a man privately.

Unless you are born again, you will not see the Kingdom, he

said. Unless you're born.

Again, you cannot. Enter the Kingdom of God.

We emphasize born again. But Jesus's ministry emphasized

the Kingdom. And if we would emphasize the

Kingdom, then people would say, well, how do I get your Kingdom?

And we would be able to say, well man, you just got to be

born again. You got to be born from our

country, unlike nations that will allow you into their

country through paying, taking tests and giving you citizenship

of your own merit. This Kingdom of God you must.

Become a citizen of it by birthright, which is why

Nicodemus. Says this is.

Confusing. How can I get back in my mom's

womb as a grown man and be born again?

He says. You're thinking natural.

This is spiritual. You must be a.

Natural born or we would say supernatural born citizen of his

Kingdom because a better translation actually is you must

be born from above. Everywhere else, Jesus said the

Kingdom of heaven is like. This and the Kingdom of God is

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

Kingdom of God. Let me tell you what the Kingdom

of God would be compared to. Why is he saying this?

Because you need to repent for the Kingdom is at hand.

Jesus came to re establish his Kingdom realm to us so that we

don't have to wait to rule and reign.

We get to participate in it now. And when we do, guess what?

It's easy for us to transform our communities because we get

to receive from the home country as ambassadors all resources

necessary to influence the world with His Kingdom.

Heaven is not what we're here to gain.

Dominion. And once you get Dominion, then

heaven. And earth is easy, I said Heaven

and earth is easy. Once you gain dominion, Heaven

and earth is easy because then you'll be able to pray to your

Father like Jesus said Our Father whose father who art in

heaven. Hallowed be your.

Name your what Kingdom come your will be done on as it is.

You're not missing out on anything.

In fact, you are the greatest liberators to the planet today.

And this planet needs you. To rise up as a king, a citizen

and an ambassador for the king and show them heaven.

On Earth through your. Life your behavior and through

your demonstrations by his power.

That's why it's so. Important for us to know the

Kingdom. And the king who's returning.

And when the king comes, it's not optional to do what he says.

He's life and our King. Says unless a man.

'S born again. He shall not see the Kingdom.

You need to be born again. Let's pray.
