  1. In John chapter 12, verses 12 through 15, on the next day the

    John 12:12–15

  2. large crowd had come to the feast.

  3. And when they heard that James Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

  4. they took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him,

  5. and began to shout Hosanna blessed.

  6. Is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even even even the

  7. king of Israel? Say the king.

  8. Come on, say the king, come on, say the king.

  9. Jesus, finding a young donkey sat on it as it is written.

  10. Fear not. Daughter of Zahn, behold, your

  11. king is coming. Seated on a donkey's colt.

  12. Your king is coming. Your king is coming.

  13. Your king is coming. Your king is coming.

  14. Your king is coming. Your king is coming.

  15. Your king is coming. I'm telling you, King is coming.

  16. Your king is coming. Your king is coming.

  17. So Zechariah 99, this is where this was quoted in the book of

  18. John. Zechariah the prophet said this.

  19. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout and triumph.

  20. O daughter of Jerusalem, behold, your king is coming to you.

  21. He is Justin, endowed with salvation, humble and mounted on

  22. a donkey, even a colt, the foal of a donkey.

  23. Amen. So Jesus came into Jerusalem

  24. that day fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah.

  25. Zechariah communicated years before that the king would come

  26. this way, and Jerusalem was recognizing Jesus as king.

  27. Now, they didn't realize that he first had to come in the role of

  28. laying himself down. We call that the suffering

  29. servant as a, you know, term, and that's our term.

  30. You got to understand that in the Bible, did Jesus suffer?

  31. Was he a servant unto God? But I think we paint a picture

  32. of suffering servant a little bit different than what the

  33. Bible does, OK. He is the Lamb that is slain.

  34. That is true. He is the Lamb of God.

  35. He is the one to be sacrificed. That is true.

  36. But you understand underneath that lamb is a lion.

  37. I said underneath that lamb is a lion.

  38. Are you hearing me? So you understand when Jesus is

  39. moving, He's not moving only as a lion.

  40. He knows he is the reigning king.

  41. He knows He's there to do the work of a king.

  42. He knows that he is to be raised up as the king so that he can

  43. make other kings. Are you hearing me OK?

  44. But he in order to have kings, he must die.

  45. He must lay down his life. He said unless a grain of wheat

  46. falls in the ground and die, it will remain alone.

  47. But if it dies, it will produce after its own kind.

  48. And Jesus Christ is the king. And when you are born again, you

  49. are born after that kind, the king kind.

  50. Say I'm the king kind, say I'm the king kind.

  51. Amen. Now this kingship that is being

  52. announced to him by the crowd and was prophesied about him

  53. comes with an anointing. I said comes with an anointing

  54. and we are anointed to reign. Jesus is anointed to reign.

  55. This is not a self-proclaimed, it comes because of the

  56. anointing. Are you hearing me?

  57. In Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says you know of Jesus of

    Acts 10:38

  58. Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with

  59. power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who

  60. are oppressed by the devil. For God was come on, what was

  61. he? So you know how Jesus of

  62. Nazareth, how who anointed him, who anointed him?

  63. Come on, who anointed him? God anointed him how?

  64. With the Holy Ghost, I said with the Holy Spirit.

  65. So here's Jesus, the Son of God, not born of man, but born of the

  66. Spirit, born of a virgin, comes into the earth.

  67. The man who knew no sin. He is perfect without sin,

  68. spotless, blameless, his life is perfect.

  69. He fulfills the law to every cross, T to every I dotted.

  70. Yet he is anointed by the Spirit.

  71. He does not do it in his own inward character or being.

  72. He does it because of the anointing.

  73. He has emptied himself of his heavenly kingship.

  74. He has come into the earth to function as a man and God always

  75. intended man to function under the anointing.

  76. I said under the anointing, man was never designed to reign or

  77. function in life separated from the Holy Spirit.

  78. I said separated from the Holy Spirit.

  79. So we have to understand this day of Pentecost is a pivotal

  80. day or this moment in time that we record in Acts Chapter 2 is

    Acts 2 chapter mention

  81. not about what most people are thinking the Holy Spirit is

  82. about. And we need to correct a few

  83. things today because when you correct a few things today, you

  84. will do a better job at flowing with the Spirit.

  85. Many things are hindered by for the Spirit because of our motive

  86. to use the Spirit again. Doctor Miles Monroe says when

  87. you don't know the purpose of a thing, abuses are inevitable.

  88. I said they are inevitable. In fact, the Bible tells us not

  89. to grieve the Holy Spirit, which tells us he can be grieved.

  90. Now, that doesn't mean he's technically offended.

  91. He's just grieved now. You can't offend him if you, you

  92. know, do things against the word of God for sure, right?

  93. And then he'll hold you accountable to those actions.

  94. But ultimately we have to cooperate with him.

  95. Amen. And Jesus Christ cooperated with

  96. the Holy Spirit. Now in Luke chapter 4, Jesus

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  97. himself says this starting in verse 18, He says the Spirit of

  98. the Lord is upon me because He anointed me to preach the gospel

  99. to the poor. He sent me to proclaim release

  100. to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind.

  101. He sent me what? He sent me what set he to set he

  102. he sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of

  103. sight to the blind, to set free those who are pressed to

  104. proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.

  105. And he closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, sat down,

  106. and the eyes of all the congregation were fixed on him.

  107. And he began to say to them today, say today this scripture

  108. has been fulfilled in your hearing.

  109. When did this event take place? Matthew chapter 3 in Matthew

    Matthew 3 chapter mention Matthew 3:13

  110. chapter 3 verse 13, then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the

  111. Jordan, coming to John to be baptized by him.

  112. But John tried to prevent him saying, I have need to be

  113. baptized by by you and do you come to me.

  114. Let me just say this, you have need to be baptized by him.

  115. You have need, You have need to be baptized by him.

  116. Are you hearing me? John said.

  117. I'm baptized with water, but he who is coming, he'll baptize

  118. with the Holy Spirit and fire. And John knew you.

  119. He had need. And you know a lot of people

  120. today. Will.

  121. Profess Jesus as Lord, but do not think they have a need to

  122. have the Holy Spirit come upon. You have need, you have need.

  123. And here's the cool thing, God shall supply all your according

  124. to his riches and glory, so He will meet you at the needs you

  125. have. And you have need.

  126. I said you have need. You need more than just an

  127. inward witness. You need the Holy Ghost to come

  128. upon. You you have need.

  129. You have need so he says, look, I have need to be baptized by

  130. you. Do you come to me?

  131. But Jesus answers say permitted at this time, right?

  132. For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all

  133. righteousness. And that says I'm doing what is

  134. written of me. After being baptized, Jesus came

  135. up immediately from the water and behold, the heavens were

  136. open and he saw the Holy, the Spirit of God.

  137. That's the Holy Spirit descending as a dove.

  138. It's not a bird, it's like one. It's not a bird.

  139. It's like 1. OK, so again, as you would have

  140. to watch a video and see how a dove starts to descend before it

  141. lands, then you would get an imagery of what then the Spirit

  142. of God looked like as it was coming down upon Jesus.

  143. OK, it's not a bird. It was like, OK, all right.

  144. So he goes on and says this and behold, a voice out of heaven

  145. said, this is my beloved, what and whom I am.

  146. I'm well pleased. Now this moment is so

  147. significant because when you only know the Bible from Genesis

    Genesis 3 chapter mention

  148. chapter 3, the fall to Revelations chapter 20, where

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  149. the devil is thrown into the lake of fire or into the

  150. bottomless pit really, Or we could really just say when Jesus

  151. comes back and that's we kind of stopped there anyway, most of us

  152. in our thinking. Well, then you missed this

  153. moment. You missed this moment because

  154. this moment has Kingdom consequence.

  155. This moment is everything about the Kingdom of God.

  156. It is everything about the. Kingdom of God.

  157. I said it's everything about the Kingdom of God.

  158. In order for you to understand this, you would have to trace

  159. some things back into the old covenant to understand this

  160. moment. We know in Genesis chapter one

  161. verse 26, God said let us make man in our image according to

  162. our likeness and let him have what dominion or rule.

  163. So man's purpose was not to have a religion called Christianity.

  164. Man's purpose was to reign in the earth as God reigns in his

  165. realm and they would work together.

  166. And the Spirit of God was the connection between the two

  167. realms. Are you hearing me?

  168. Because when he breathed on him to receive the spirit in him,

  169. then he had the Holy Ghost. Adam himself was clothed in

  170. glory, his body was, was glorified in the sense that it

  171. would not die because the only thing that would cause death in

  172. his life was disobedience. Are you hearing me?

  173. And so he placed him in the garden, said you can eat of any

  174. tree of the garden, right? And and he said, unless you eat

  175. of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for the day you

  176. eat, you will surely what, die. So if Adam had never eaten the

  177. fruit, he would still be here today, ruling and reigning, and

  178. his offspring with Eve would be of that kind.

  179. Are you hearing me? However, unfortunately, Adam ate

  180. the fruit, rebelled or abdicated his throne, gave his dominion

  181. over to the devil, and man fell. Fell.

  182. So sin is a result of disobedience to God.

  183. OK And so God in turn then is trying to re establish his

  184. Kingdom on the earth and that's what he's doing.

  185. When man fell, when he comes in the garden, he says, Adam, what

  186. have you done? Then he talks with Eve.

  187. Then he gets to the surfing and he says I'm going to bring my

  188. seed born of the woman and he's going to crush your head.

  189. In essence, I'm going to I got another seed that can redeem

  190. mankind and put him back in his position to reign, put him back

  191. in that position. Are you hearing me?

  192. So from there, God is still trying to show the world his

  193. rule. All the while this is throughout

  194. the Bible and we see this occur with Abraham when he makes a

  195. covenant with him. He says I'll make you a father

  196. of many nations, right? Not religions.

  197. He says I'll make you, I'll have you blessed.

  198. You'll be a blessed nation. Whoever blesses you, be blessed.

  199. Whoever curses you, be cursed. Y'all with me this morning.

  200. OK, so with that being said, we see that God gives birth.

  201. Abraham gives birth to Isaac, Isaac give birth to Jacob.

  202. Jacob wrestles with the Lord. He has a name change called

  203. Israel and that nation is in the earth today.

  204. It would. It would bid you well to watch

  205. how you speak about that nation even in its sin.

  206. It would bid you well how you speak to that nation, 'cause

  207. even when God turned on His own nation because of their

  208. disobedience, He never allowed the nation that overtook them to

  209. revel in it. In fact, He even expected that

  210. they would have sorrow for what had happened to that nation and

  211. anyone that did not. God ultimately destroyed the

  212. nation that was used to correct His nation because they got into

  213. disobedience. And God has said that nation

  214. will be forever and it will always be here.

  215. Let me tell you this, Israel will never leave planet earth.

  216. There will never come another time that that lamb will be

  217. overtaken by another nation. It will never happen.

  218. It will never happen. The time has happened before,

  219. but in 1948 that nation has come back and that generation that

  220. was born then will see the king return.

  221. Their king will come. I said their king will come.

  222. Now you understand that God is functioning as a king over this

  223. covenant with Abraham. But the people were rebellious.

  224. So in First Samuel chapter 8, they rebel against God once

    1 Samuel 8 chapter mention

  225. again and say we want to see our king.

  226. All the nations can see their king.

  227. We cannot. We want a man to be our king.

  228. So the Lord says, and you can look this up yourself.

  229. First name of chapter 8, verse six.

  230. The Lord says, Samuel, give the people what they want.

  231. For they've not rejected me you, but they've rejected me as their

  232. king. They give him Saul because

  233. that's what the people pictured as a strong man king.

  234. But in order for Saul to take the position, God had to 1st

  235. anoint him. Are you hearing me?

  236. He had to anoint him. I said he had to anoint him.

  237. And in doing so, MO, I mean, Samuel took oil, which is an Old

  238. Testament type of the Holy Spirit, and poured it upon

  239. Samuel's head so that it would run down him.

  240. It's not in him, but it came upon him.

  241. I'm going to say that again. It's not in him.

  242. It came upon him. It's very important because it's

  243. not what's in Saul that makes him king, it's what's upon him.

  244. Now let me bring it over to the New Testament.

  245. Yes, you may be born of God and the Spirit of God is in you to

  246. bear witness that you are a child of God, but the Spirit in

  247. you is not enough for you to reign as king in this life.

  248. You're going to have to have the Spirit upon you, not just in

  249. you, because again, you can be a child of God and abdicate your

  250. responsibility to rule. Are you hearing me?

  251. So this moment in Matthew is God declaring to the world.

  252. Is God the Father King of all creation?

  253. Yeah. The Psalms tell us in 47 and in

  254. 24 that the earth, the Lord, is the king of all the earth.

  255. So the Father sits on a throne. Thrones are in kingdoms, not

  256. religions. Jesus used to sit at his right

  257. hand during, you know, prior to this time, but he's left

  258. heaven's realm. He's come to the earth, enclosed

  259. himself as a man. Why?

  260. Because a man had dominion. It requires man to recover that

  261. dominion. That's why Jesus has to come

  262. back. You need to understand this.

  263. God loves you personally, there's no doubt, but the reason

  264. He loves you personally is because He views you through the

  265. purpose He has for man. Come on, He's coming not just

  266. for you personally, He's coming first because He spoke that this

  267. was the position man would be and he had to provide a way so

  268. that you could get back in it. God is always first fulfilling

  269. His Word. So when we sometimes think I am

  270. the most important person in God's mind, that is not.

  271. True. The Word is the most important

  272. thing in God's mind. I said the Word because if He

  273. fulfills the Word, it opens the door for you.

  274. I said it opens the door for you, and He's not going to

  275. violate His Word for you. He's not going to do it, I said.

  276. He's not going to do it. He's not going to violate his

  277. word. Now he may do an amendment to

  278. get you out of the trouble you're in and pay a price so you

  279. can get back in good standing, but he's not going to violate

  280. his word for you. Are you hearing me?

  281. So there are many that are born of God and by right are in the

  282. King's house. I could say it this way.

  283. In fact, Paul said a child that's born in the royal

  284. bloodline and a servant to the royal bloodline.

  285. When they're children, they're no different.

  286. They're no different. No, it's not until they get to

  287. the place after the training. That then they get into the seat

  288. and you take the seat after the anointing.

  289. Look, we see this in our history book.

  290. David is king of all of Israel, but he has a lot of sons.

  291. He has a lot of sons. Are you hearing me?

  292. And there were some self-proclaimed, but they

  293. weren't from God. And self-proclaimed kings don't

  294. make it on the throne, but the one who was anointed got the

  295. right to rule. Now here's the cool thing.

  296. In God's Kingdom, we all get the right to rule.

  297. Woo Hallelujah because you understand, it's not like, oh,

  298. Pastor Earl has the anointing and everybody is following me.

  299. You're not following me. You have an anointing and you're

  300. following the Holy Ghost like I'm following the Holy Ghost.

  301. And on our family, yes, we have a chain of command, but

  302. ultimately, as we are yielding to the the Spirit of God and

  303. walking and loving unity, then that power and that rule and

  304. that reign in our lives individually, corporately shows

  305. up and does something extremely significant.

  306. So when God said, this is my beloved son, in whom I'm well

  307. pleased? It is an announcement to all the

  308. earth. I am the king of all creation.

  309. This is my son, and he's taking the seat of power on the earth.

  310. Here's. My anointing when David was

  311. anointed that his king, Did all of Israel see it?

  312. No, no they did not. You know who saw it?

  313. The brothers and dad. But did they recognize the

  314. anointing on his life later? Yes, they did.

  315. I'm saying the event itself was, not.

  316. Out for everyone to see, but the evidence that it was upon him

  317. showed up in the way he reigned in his life.

  318. Are you hearing me? My point is, is that there is a

  319. public anointing that has to occur.

  320. Oh, you. Don't want to hear this?

  321. There is a public anointing that is occurring, and God had a

  322. public anointing with Jesus. Now not all of Israel saw the

  323. Spirit come upon him, but John did.

  324. I'm going to give you 7 witnesses to Jesus's kingship. 7

  325. witnesses to Jesus's kingship. This is very important because

  326. the day of Pentecost is not about power to perform miracles.

  327. It includes it. But that's not why we got it,

  328. and that's not why God Jesus got it.

  329. Jesus received the anointing upon.

  330. For kingship. The right to rule in essence,

  331. the Father said because Jesus is known as the second Adam or the

  332. last Adam. The first Adam was anointed of

  333. God to reign on the earth. He abdicated his throne, gave it

  334. over to the devil. That's why the devil and the

  335. temptation of Jesus in the I believe it's the Luke account

  336. chapter 4 says all this domain I'll give you for it's been

  337. handed over to me and I can give it to whomever I wish.

  338. He received it from Adam. So the Lord saying this is my

  339. second Adam are my last Adam and I'm anointing him and he and

  340. Jesus will never lose the throne.

  341. Glory to God. I said he'll never lose the

  342. throne. So here are 7 witnesses of Jesus

  343. being the Messiah or the King. The first one is the Father.

  344. The Father it says in John chapter 5 verse 37 it says in

    John 5:37

  345. the Father who sent me he has. Testified of me.

  346. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form

  347. has Jesus. Oh yeah.

  348. And we know again here in in the Matthew account, the voice from

  349. heaven, the Father says this is my beloved son in whom I am what

  350. in essence he's saying this is the king of the earth.

  351. Here's the king of the earth, Earth.

  352. Here's your king, Earth. Not, not United States, not the

  353. United States, let me say that. Not Christianity, Earth.

  354. Here's your king. Now it's your choice to

  355. accepting 'cause He's king. Nonetheless, Jesus himself, the

  356. Son, testifies of his kingship in John chapter 8 verse 14.

    John 8:14

  357. Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify about myself,

  358. my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and I know

  359. where I'm going, but you do not know where I came from or where

  360. I am going. Jesus later on in John chapter

    John 18 chapter mention

  361. 18 told. Pilate, when Pilate says, are

  362. you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said, did somebody

  363. tell you about me, or did you learn this on your own?

  364. And he goes, look, I'm not from your nation.

  365. Your chief priests handed you over me.

  366. What have you done? He said, now look, my Kingdom.

  367. So then he goes on and he says, so you are king.

  368. And Jesus says, you say correctly that I am a king and

  369. for this. Purpose this, 'cause I have come

  370. to the earth, Amen. Is Jesus the king?

  371. I said, is he the king? Is he the Messiah?

  372. Hallelujah. In fact, the woman at the well

  373. came to him and said, you know the Messiah, the King's coming.

  374. You know when there's a debate on where we going to worship him

  375. and he says, lady, who you looking for is right in front of

  376. your face right now, Amen. He first revealed his kingship

  377. to the woman. Glory to God, Hallelujah.

  378. The third person that testifies of his kingship is the Holy

  379. Spirit, John 1526 says, And when the helper comes, I will send

  380. whom I will send to you from the Father.

  381. That is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father.

  382. He will testify about me. He will testify about me.

  383. So the Holy Spirit is talking to you about the King.

  384. That's what he's talking to you about, the king.

  385. This is the word of the king. This is what the king wants you

  386. to do. This how the king wants you to

  387. respond. Why does he do this?

  388. Because he says, listen, you're an ambassador.

  389. You are a king of the King, and this is how you are to represent

  390. His Kingdom. So he instructs us, He teaches

  391. us, He shows us our royal bloodline, He gives us

  392. instruction, He trained changes us, He renews our mind so that

  393. we will function as kings in the earth.

  394. Jesus was anointed to reign so that we could be anointed to

  395. reign as well. All right.

  396. The 4th one is the written word, the written word, things that

  397. were passed on through the law and the prophets, and it says in

  398. Luke 2427. Then beginning with Moses and

  399. with all the prophets, he explained to them the things

  400. concerning himself in All in all the Scripture.

  401. Jesus like. You didn't see that there, did

  402. you? That's me there.

  403. Yeah, that's me there. Yeah, that's me there.

  404. And man, when you understand it's the Kingdom, then it's

  405. everywhere, is it not? I mean, you can't Unsee it when

  406. you see it. Now if I say Kingdom and you

  407. think heaven, then you didn't see it.

  408. Because kingdom's not heaven. Heaven is heaven and earth is

  409. earth. Kingdom's in both, right?

  410. How do we know this? Well, what's the prayer?

  411. The Lord's Prayer, we say. We say it's the Lord's Prayer.

  412. Our Father whose father? He's your daddy too.

  413. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your

  414. Kingdom come, your will be on as it is.

  415. So how can the Kingdom be done in the earth if it's only

  416. heaven? So the Kingdom is not heaven.

  417. The Kingdom is Kingdom, which is King's dominion.

  418. It is the rule and reign of God. Hallelujah.

  419. And that rule and reign is here. This is why our God is not

  420. competing with the gods of this world, because he's not a

  421. religion anyway. Our God is not even competing

  422. with the nations of the world, 'cause they will bow, they will

  423. bow. But the devil has raised up

  424. nations to give us religion so that he can keep us blind from

  425. the government that we actually already are part of right now.

  426. And it is taking over the planet.

  427. Hallelujah. And right now the Lord is doing

  428. it peacefully. His weapons of warfare a lot

  429. different, but He's doing it peacefully.

  430. What do I mean by that? I mean, He's letting us go to

  431. nations and just testify. But he'll come back and it won't

  432. be so peaceful for those nations.

  433. I said it won't be so peaceful. He will establish the rule, and

  434. He's given them plenty of time by faith to yield.

  435. Are you hearing me? So the written word testifies of

  436. Jesus being king and man. We could go through Scripture

  437. right now where we talk about the king.

  438. Daniel saw the king Isaiah. Remember Isaiah Chapter 9, verse

    Isaiah 9 chapter mention

  439. six? He said a child will be born, a

  440. son will be given, and the government shall rest on his

  441. shoulders. Not a religion, not Christianity

  442. as most people think of Christianity.

  443. I mean, could we associate Christianity with all kinds of

  444. churches, all kinds of things? And it's nothing of the Bible.

  445. It is just religious exercise at best.

  446. But when you understand the Kingdom, it's this Kingdom that

  447. will come, this king who will establish his Kingdom.

  448. And the Bible says he'll have no end.

  449. Daniel saw this Kingdom come, that it would be a rock made

  450. without hands. Who was that rock?

  451. Jesus is? And it would fill the whole

  452. earth. Divine works testify of his

  453. kingship. I said divine works testify of

  454. this kingship. That's number five John chapter

    John 10:23

  455. 10 verse 23 Jesus answers said I told you and ye believe not the

  456. works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness of me.

  457. The works he did were to bear witness that the kingdoms here.

  458. What did Jesus say? He said if I cast out a devil

  459. with the finger of God, you. Know the kingdoms here.

  460. So again, the miracle signs and wonders were not so people would

  461. be impressed with Jesus's power. When I say power, I'm going to

  462. I'm saying it right now in the term that most believers,

  463. especially on the day of Pentecost, accepted as and that

  464. is miraculous power. Jesus did not become anointed of

  465. the Holy Spirit for miraculous power because the miraculous

  466. power was there to communicate the kingdoms here.

  467. How do we know this is true? Well, we understand that Jesus

  468. healed the sick, raised the dead, healed blonde eyes open

  469. deaf ears, love the lame walk, cured leprosy.

  470. I mean done so many amazing miraculous thing, multiplied

  471. bread and fish. I mean he calmed the seas.

  472. He spoke to trees and they died. I mean, this guy was amazing,

  473. right? And he gets three years in the

  474. ministry and people are what, holding on to the miraculous.

  475. I want to see the miraculous power, Jesus, Jesus.

  476. I want to see the miraculous power in Jesus life.

  477. Not even going to do a miracle no more.

  478. You missed the point, he said. You're a perverse and wicked

  479. generation. All you do is seek, and you're

  480. missing the sign. The sign was not.

  481. Look at the miraculous power I have.

  482. The sign was the Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here, the

  483. Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.

  484. The Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.

  485. You've missed the Kingdom. So I'm not even going to do a

  486. miracle now in your city. So he takes one guy that's blind

  487. out of the city. In order to heal, Heal because

  488. I'm not doing it in front of you anymore.

  489. Because you don't know what this anointing on me is actually for.

  490. You don't even know you've missed it.

  491. John testifies of his kingship. John 134.

  492. He said, I this is the apostle John.

  493. I myself have seen and have and have testified that this is.

  494. The Son of God. Are you hearing me?

  495. And then the 7th and again the Bible says let everything be

  496. confirmed by two or three witnesses.

  497. We just gave you 7. Jesus is the King, I said.

  498. Jesus is the King. The disciples #7 the disciples,

  499. John 2124. This is the disciple who was

  500. testifying to these things and wrote these things.

  501. And we know that his testimony is true.

  502. We know that his testimony is true.

  503. Remember Peter after he had to stand in front of the religious

  504. leaders after the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus, after

  505. Peter received his kingship? I'm going to say that again.

  506. After Peter received his kingship, after Peter received

  507. his kingship, he's standing before religious religion and

  508. says, if I am here today because of what's happened to a man at a

  509. gate, let it be known that the Christ you crucified.

  510. Jesus. It's by his power and His power

  511. alone that this miracle has been performed.

  512. Are you hearing me? And they recognized that these

  513. men, though untrained in the religious way, had been with

  514. what Jesus 'cause they were modeling his Kingdom attributes.

  515. In essence, you think that you've killed him, you know he's

  516. come back, you're lying to everybody, that he was raised,

  517. you know, the stone was rolled away and you know, you've paid

  518. off the soldiers to spread a lot, that we have stolen him and

  519. we are communicating propaganda. But you know, he lives because

  520. he spoke that he lives. And what you don't know is that

  521. he died and rose so that not only could he reign, but we

  522. could reign as well. So you didn't stop the Kingdom

  523. from being here 'cause you killed the king?

  524. Cause the king didn't stay dead. You didn't realize you played

  525. into the King's hand. He wanted to die so that I could

  526. be sent like him. I could get into the earth like

  527. him. I could do the worst he did.

  528. I could say what he could say. I could be anointed to reign

  529. just like he is. Oh gosh.

  530. Look what it says here in Isaiah 11 one through 4 it says, then a

  531. shoot will spring forth from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from

  532. his roots will bear fruit. The spirit of the Lord will rest

  533. upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of

  534. counsel and strengthen, the spirit of knowledge and the fear

  535. of the Lord. Man, can you see in verse 2?

  536. All that comes upon you on the day of Pentecost.

  537. What we want to do is celebrate. Get into power and we don't even

  538. know this is about kingship. We're receiving more than just

  539. the power to demonstrate the kingdoms in the earth causing in

  540. God's Kingdom. There is no sickness.

  541. In God's Kingdom, there is no lack in God's Kingdom there is

  542. no imperfection. In God's Kingdom, there is no

  543. depression. In God's Kingdom, there is no

  544. demonic bondage in his Kingdom. So every time we function.

  545. And we cast out a devil we lay hands on.

  546. We're saying the kingdom's here, that this realm, this earth,

  547. although it is not where it needs to be, but know this, the

  548. kingdom's here, it's influences here.

  549. It's yeast. It's in the earth, and you're

  550. not. Not going to stop it.

  551. You're not going to stop it. Why?

  552. Because I've been anointed with the same anointing that my king

  553. has. So on the day of Pentecost, when

  554. we celebrate the baptism of the Holy Ghost, one thing that we do

  555. is we sensationalize tongues, when tongues in love itself is

  556. just the language of the Kingdom.

  557. Again, I've done it time and time again, not going to do it

  558. today, but I could bring people up here right now.

  559. I could bring someone that could speak Albania, who could speak

  560. Greek, who could speak Spanish right now, and they could speak

  561. to you in those prospective languages and nobody would say

  562. it's of the devil. So why in the world do we think

  563. God doesn't have a language? Obviously does.

  564. Now the cool thing about God is he doesn't require you to have

  565. to understand it in your mind to speak it.

  566. That's what's amazing is the Lord's life.

  567. Just yield, say it your mind don't know it, but release what

  568. I'm saying because I hear it, I understand it and it's my

  569. perfect will. And the devil don't know it and

  570. he can't understand that communication.

  571. But it releases my angels. It releases my purpose.

  572. It releases my. Will so speak it out and then

  573. it'll build up your most holy faith knowing that this life is

  574. not the life you are here to live because you're not of this

  575. world. It gives me this context that I

  576. am disconnected from this natural realm.

  577. I am reminded man I'm not my own when I pray in the spirit.

  578. Thank God I am of the God kind. Are you hearing me?

  579. But the it's not about the tongues, nor is it just about

  580. the power of miraculous or what we call the access of the gifts

  581. of the Spirit. Because guess what the Holy

  582. Spirit will bring? He'll bring a spirit of wisdom

  583. and understand how can you have an anointing upon your life and

  584. be so silly and allies we're incapable of mind renewal.

  585. Come on. Come on.

  586. 'Cause there's nothing worse than a foolish king.

  587. Nothing worse. And the Holy Spirit came upon

  588. you. He's in you to bear witness with

  589. your spirit. You're a child of God.

  590. He come upon you to bring power. And one of the powers he brings

  591. is to eradicate thought so that you'll think like a king.

  592. He'll give you wisdom and understanding in essence, He

  593. comes upon me in such a way that now I get to reign over my

  594. emotions that despair upon me. Lets me say, I don't care how

  595. you feeling right now, suck it up.

  596. Hold the tears back. We're not crying over this deal.

  597. We going to find out what the King says.

  598. We going to get our mourning into gladness.

  599. We going to get our doubt into faith.

  600. We going to get our fear into faith.

  601. We going to get our hatred over into love.

  602. We going to get our lust under control and we going to move.

  603. Why? Because.

  604. We reign now. Now we have a reigning spirit

  605. upon us. We have been anointed to reign

  606. in every aspect of our life. There is no wringing of the

  607. hands. Oh, what are we going to do?

  608. Lord, You have come upon me, which means You have brought to

  609. me the spirit of wisdom and understanding.

  610. You have given me the spirit of counsel and strength.

  611. I mean how you have given me the spirit of what knowledge and the

  612. fear of the. How in the world could an

  613. anointed king, when the anointing comes upon them, think

  614. that they could be playing in the devil's backyard?

  615. And God, there's no consequence with God, 'cause when this fear

  616. comes upon you, then the fear of the Lord is present.

  617. We're all of a sudden you're like I.

  618. Don't want to do anything that is going to disgrace my king

  619. that would cause bad family name that would look make me

  620. disqualified. So this branch that came from

  621. Jesse which is Jesus when the Spirit descended upon him in

  622. Matthew chapter three, he received the Spirit of wisdom,

  623. understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge and the fear

  624. of the Lord. That's why Jesus said I will not

  625. do anything that he has not told me to do period.

  626. That's why he'll look at some of his closest companions and say

  627. your mind is wrong Peter, it's set on the devil.

  628. I will not listen to that thought.

  629. I will do the will of my Father. Sorry you don't understand, and

  630. that's not being callous. That is the.

  631. Fear of the Lord, How would I ever compromise my walk with my

  632. father? Because you just don't

  633. understand. But I'm praying for you.

  634. I'm praying for you. Oh Hallelujah, He goes on to say

  635. in verse three. And he will delight in the fear

  636. of the Lord. He delights.

  637. In it, man, we need to learn to delight.

  638. In the fear of the Lord, delight in it because we have been

  639. anointed. He was anointed to reign, which

  640. means this anointing gave him a delight to the fear of the Lord.

  641. That doesn't mean he's afraid of God, that God's going to beat

  642. him down. No, he's like, I have such a

  643. reverence in awe and respect and honor for my father and that his

  644. ways are life. His way of my life is worth

  645. laying. I trust him emphatically for his

  646. plan. And even when he was in the

  647. garden, said Dad. Is there another way to do it?

  648. Because at the end of the day, we have never in all eternity up

  649. to this point that I'm in time on the planet.

  650. Been separated and. If there's really another way,

  651. man. But if not, your will be done.

  652. In essence, is there a ram caught in the thicket?

  653. Dad, Abraham didn't have to kill his son.

  654. Is there something on the other side of this mountain that I

  655. don't see? And the father says, son, it was

  656. always you, that it was always you.

  657. But it's all right, because I told you in three days I will

  658. free you. Hallelujah, Lord, it says.

  659. Then based upon this anointing, look what this anointing did.

  660. He delighted in the fear of the Lord, and he will not judge by

  661. what he his eyes see. Nor make a decision by what his

  662. ears hear, but with righteousness he will judge the

  663. poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth.

  664. And he will strike the earth how?

  665. With the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he

  666. will slay the wicked. What does that mean?

  667. The minute the king releases his word, this is what takes place.

  668. If you obey me, this is what takes place.

  669. If you don't, they are in the earth.

  670. If you choose life, you live. If you choose death, He will

  671. slay you because he will do what he said.

  672. He will do so. When the anointing came upon

  673. him, not only did he give him wisdom, understanding, counsel,

  674. strength, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, but it caused him to

  675. not judge by what he saw or what he heard.

  676. He was not led by sight, ever. He had a direct connection to

  677. the Ruler, his Father. This is how he functioned on the

  678. earth. This is how he lived.

  679. This is why everything he said is just, is right.

  680. This is why when he made calculations about religious

  681. people and called them hypocrites, he was right,

  682. although they talked about him in the back rooms.

  683. He knew their thoughts, He understood their ways, and he

  684. judged justly. Well, it's amazing how we think

  685. we know stuff. Ah, but God knows, I said.

  686. God knows. We've said it before.

  687. Well, the Lord knows my heart. You bet he does.

  688. You bet He does. And you are not faking it with

  689. your mouth. That's it.

  690. That's. It.

  691. No, you're not. Hallelujah.

  692. So with that being said, Revelation chapter 19, this is

    Revelation 19 chapter mention

  693. good news, guys. I said this is good news.

  694. Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

  695. It's the day of Pentecost. But you got to understand the

  696. anointing the the Holy Spirit coming upon is the King's

  697. anointing. It's to anoint you in kingship,

  698. he says. And I saw heaven.

  699. Open. And behold a White Horse,

  700. Hallelujah. And I saw heaven opened, and I

  701. saw a White Horse. And he who said on it is called

  702. faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and

  703. wages. Do you know our king will wage a

  704. war? His eyes are a flame of fire,

  705. and on his heads are many diadems, and he has a name

  706. written on him which no one knows except himself.

  707. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called

  708. the Word of God. And the armies which are in

  709. heaven, what do they dress like? Sure don't look like what our

  710. natural armies look like. They are clothed in fine linen,

  711. white and clean. No camo.

  712. The enemy going to know we are coming.

  713. Come on now, you going to know we coming.

  714. Now they may not see us initially in the cloud because

  715. we camo there, but once we break and I don't know, maybe the Lord

  716. split the clouds and be all blue and they'll think we bunch of

  717. clouds till we show up. But once we hit the planet,

  718. they're going to be like, well, there they are.

  719. They're white. They'll probably say, oh,

  720. they're wearing white, They're giving up.

  721. No, not us. It says in the armies are which

  722. are in heaven clothed and fine linen, white and clean were

  723. what? Following him on white horses,

  724. and his mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it he may

  725. strike what the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of

  726. iron, and he will he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath.

  727. Of God the Almighty, and on his robe and on his thigh he has a

  728. name written, King of Kings and Lord.

  729. Oh Lord, who are those kings? Who are those kings?

  730. Who are those kings? Listen.

  731. We are those kings right now, today.

  732. And the reason why the Holy Spirit came on the day of

  733. Pentecost was not so that you could be endued with miraculous

  734. power alone, so that you could speak in a language that nobody

  735. knew. No, it came upon you so that you

  736. would receive the same anointing.

  737. Jesus had I close with this verse John chapter 20 verses 21

    John 20:21

  738. and 22. He said this, he said to them,

  739. so Jesus said to them again, peace be with you as the Father

  740. sent me, I also send you and and when he had said this, he

  741. breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit.

  742. So he's saying, listen, you can't go like you are.

  743. So in this passage we see that Jesus saw the new birth

  744. experience with the disciples because they said Jesus was

  745. Lord. Then he gathers them together in

  746. Acts chapter one, verse three. And as he pulls them together,

  747. he presents himself alive after his suffering.

  748. Many convincing proofs appearing to them over a period of 40 days

  749. and Speaking of things concerning the Kingdom of God.

  750. Then gathering together, he commanded them, Don't leave

  751. Jerusalem, he said. Don't leave, he said, but wait

  752. for what the Father has from now.

  753. He's already breathed on them in an upper room or in a room now,

  754. he says don't go nowhere, but you're going to receive power

  755. not too many days from now from the Holy Ghost, John says.

  756. I need for you to baptize me because John knew you anointed

  757. me, makes me a king in your Kingdom.

  758. The reason why so many people are missing out on all the Holy

  759. Ghost wants is because they want the Spirit of God and the power

  760. of God so they can lay hands on the sick.

  761. They get healed and take credit for it so that they can be known

  762. as the great healing evangelist, the great prophet who gives the

  763. words and knowledge and everyone should flock to them.

  764. And they're like, but I've been in do with power.

  765. The Holy Ghost has come upon me. You're like, you don't even know

  766. what the Holy Ghost is upon you, for He's upon you so that you

  767. would reign in this life and in reigning as a king, then you

  768. would demonstrate. The qualities of the Kingdom,

  769. which happened to cast out devils, heal the sick, raise the

  770. dead, prophecy, speak words of knowledge, speak words of

  771. wisdom, disclose things to come, discern spiritual things that

  772. just comes because that's part of Kingdom access.

  773. And the reason why I have is because I'm the child of a king

  774. and I've been anointed as king. That's why I have the anointing

  775. not to show off. Not so that you'll come to me

  776. and think I have power. No, I'm nothing.

  777. Anything that I am is because of the king.

  778. It's because of the king. And the king said I don't want

  779. you going around this planet unless you're functioning like I

  780. did. And I didn't have my first

  781. witnessing. I didn't even.

  782. Preach once until I was anointed king.

  783. Are you hearing me? So here today you have need, I

  784. said. You have need.

  785. I said you have need. I said you have need.

  786. You have need. Cause on the Day of Pentecost,

  787. you have need. Yeah, come on.

  788. And for many of you, I'm just going to say right now, you need

  789. to. Tweak why you are anointed.

  790. Because when we tweak why we're anointed, then God's going to

  791. let the Kingdom flow through us more.

  792. How do I know you got to tweak it 'cause you know, I hear it,

  793. man. I was in such and such and I

  794. laid hands on them and they got healed.

  795. You know, I prayed for them and they.

  796. Did that, I did this, I did that.

  797. If you don't watch out, yes, it's through you.

  798. It's happened. But if you don't watch out,

  799. you'll start saying I I to the point that you'll feel like it's

  800. you. If it weren't for the anointing,

  801. I said. If it weren't for the anointing.

  802. Right. No.

  803. How do you know it's like? The Kingdom manifested this

  804. weekend. Pastor Earl, how did that

  805. happen? You know what?

  807. this. And his Kingdom manifested.

  808. Keeps perspective, it keeps where you're like, don't look to

  809. me, look to Him, don't look to me, look to him, 'cause I

  810. didn't. I'm just a conduit, I'm just a

  811. representative. It's his power, it's his

  812. Kingdom, it's his glory, it's his.

  820. your clothes fall off. It's so you can represent the

  821. Kingdom. It's so that the earth will

  822. know. Now I wasn't there, but it's

  823. obvious you reign. They weren't there.

  824. When God anointed you, but you know you are and the world of

  825. no. When you function as a king in

  826. the earth that way, are you here?
