Upon to Behold - Anointed to Reign

Transcript
-
In John chapter 12, verses 12 through 15, on the next day the
-
large crowd had come to the feast.
-
And when they heard that James Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
-
they took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him,
-
and began to shout Hosanna blessed.
-
Is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even even even the
-
king of Israel? Say the king.
-
Come on, say the king, come on, say the king.
-
Jesus, finding a young donkey sat on it as it is written.
-
Fear not. Daughter of Zahn, behold, your
-
king is coming. Seated on a donkey's colt.
-
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
-
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
-
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
-
Your king is coming. I'm telling you, King is coming.
-
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
-
So Zechariah 99, this is where this was quoted in the book of
-
John. Zechariah the prophet said this.
-
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout and triumph.
-
O daughter of Jerusalem, behold, your king is coming to you.
-
He is Justin, endowed with salvation, humble and mounted on
-
a donkey, even a colt, the foal of a donkey.
-
Amen. So Jesus came into Jerusalem
-
that day fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah.
-
Zechariah communicated years before that the king would come
-
this way, and Jerusalem was recognizing Jesus as king.
-
Now, they didn't realize that he first had to come in the role of
-
laying himself down. We call that the suffering
-
servant as a, you know, term, and that's our term.
-
You got to understand that in the Bible, did Jesus suffer?
-
Was he a servant unto God? But I think we paint a picture
-
of suffering servant a little bit different than what the
-
Bible does, OK. He is the Lamb that is slain.
-
That is true. He is the Lamb of God.
-
He is the one to be sacrificed. That is true.
-
But you understand underneath that lamb is a lion.
-
I said underneath that lamb is a lion.
-
Are you hearing me? So you understand when Jesus is
-
moving, He's not moving only as a lion.
-
He knows he is the reigning king.
-
He knows He's there to do the work of a king.
-
He knows that he is to be raised up as the king so that he can
-
make other kings. Are you hearing me OK?
-
But he in order to have kings, he must die.
-
He must lay down his life. He said unless a grain of wheat
-
falls in the ground and die, it will remain alone.
-
But if it dies, it will produce after its own kind.
-
And Jesus Christ is the king. And when you are born again, you
-
are born after that kind, the king kind.
-
Say I'm the king kind, say I'm the king kind.
-
Amen. Now this kingship that is being
-
announced to him by the crowd and was prophesied about him
-
comes with an anointing. I said comes with an anointing
-
and we are anointed to reign. Jesus is anointed to reign.
-
This is not a self-proclaimed, it comes because of the
-
anointing. Are you hearing me?
-
In Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says you know of Jesus of
-
Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with
-
power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who
-
are oppressed by the devil. For God was come on, what was
-
he? So you know how Jesus of
-
Nazareth, how who anointed him, who anointed him?
-
Come on, who anointed him? God anointed him how?
-
With the Holy Ghost, I said with the Holy Spirit.
-
So here's Jesus, the Son of God, not born of man, but born of the
-
Spirit, born of a virgin, comes into the earth.
-
The man who knew no sin. He is perfect without sin,
-
spotless, blameless, his life is perfect.
-
He fulfills the law to every cross, T to every I dotted.
-
Yet he is anointed by the Spirit.
-
He does not do it in his own inward character or being.
-
He does it because of the anointing.
-
He has emptied himself of his heavenly kingship.
-
He has come into the earth to function as a man and God always
-
intended man to function under the anointing.
-
I said under the anointing, man was never designed to reign or
-
function in life separated from the Holy Spirit.
-
I said separated from the Holy Spirit.
-
So we have to understand this day of Pentecost is a pivotal
-
day or this moment in time that we record in Acts Chapter 2 is
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
not about what most people are thinking the Holy Spirit is
-
about. And we need to correct a few
-
things today because when you correct a few things today, you
-
will do a better job at flowing with the Spirit.
-
Many things are hindered by for the Spirit because of our motive
-
to use the Spirit again. Doctor Miles Monroe says when
-
you don't know the purpose of a thing, abuses are inevitable.
-
I said they are inevitable. In fact, the Bible tells us not
-
to grieve the Holy Spirit, which tells us he can be grieved.
-
Now, that doesn't mean he's technically offended.
-
He's just grieved now. You can't offend him if you, you
-
know, do things against the word of God for sure, right?
-
And then he'll hold you accountable to those actions.
-
But ultimately we have to cooperate with him.
-
Amen. And Jesus Christ cooperated with
-
the Holy Spirit. Now in Luke chapter 4, Jesus
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
himself says this starting in verse 18, He says the Spirit of
-
the Lord is upon me because He anointed me to preach the gospel
-
to the poor. He sent me to proclaim release
-
to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind.
-
He sent me what? He sent me what set he to set he
-
he sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of
-
sight to the blind, to set free those who are pressed to
-
proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.
-
And he closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, sat down,
-
and the eyes of all the congregation were fixed on him.
-
And he began to say to them today, say today this scripture
-
has been fulfilled in your hearing.
-
When did this event take place? Matthew chapter 3 in Matthew
Matthew 3 chapter mention Matthew 3:13
-
chapter 3 verse 13, then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the
-
Jordan, coming to John to be baptized by him.
-
But John tried to prevent him saying, I have need to be
-
baptized by by you and do you come to me.
-
Let me just say this, you have need to be baptized by him.
-
You have need, You have need to be baptized by him.
-
Are you hearing me? John said.
-
I'm baptized with water, but he who is coming, he'll baptize
-
with the Holy Spirit and fire. And John knew you.
-
He had need. And you know a lot of people
-
today. Will.
-
Profess Jesus as Lord, but do not think they have a need to
-
have the Holy Spirit come upon. You have need, you have need.
-
And here's the cool thing, God shall supply all your according
-
to his riches and glory, so He will meet you at the needs you
-
have. And you have need.
-
I said you have need. You need more than just an
-
inward witness. You need the Holy Ghost to come
-
upon. You you have need.
-
You have need so he says, look, I have need to be baptized by
-
you. Do you come to me?
-
But Jesus answers say permitted at this time, right?
-
For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all
-
righteousness. And that says I'm doing what is
-
written of me. After being baptized, Jesus came
-
up immediately from the water and behold, the heavens were
-
open and he saw the Holy, the Spirit of God.
-
That's the Holy Spirit descending as a dove.
-
It's not a bird, it's like one. It's not a bird.
-
It's like 1. OK, so again, as you would have
-
to watch a video and see how a dove starts to descend before it
-
lands, then you would get an imagery of what then the Spirit
-
of God looked like as it was coming down upon Jesus.
-
OK, it's not a bird. It was like, OK, all right.
-
So he goes on and says this and behold, a voice out of heaven
-
said, this is my beloved, what and whom I am.
-
I'm well pleased. Now this moment is so
-
significant because when you only know the Bible from Genesis
Genesis 3 chapter mention
-
chapter 3, the fall to Revelations chapter 20, where
Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
the devil is thrown into the lake of fire or into the
-
bottomless pit really, Or we could really just say when Jesus
-
comes back and that's we kind of stopped there anyway, most of us
-
in our thinking. Well, then you missed this
-
moment. You missed this moment because
-
this moment has Kingdom consequence.
-
This moment is everything about the Kingdom of God.
-
It is everything about the. Kingdom of God.
-
I said it's everything about the Kingdom of God.
-
In order for you to understand this, you would have to trace
-
some things back into the old covenant to understand this
-
moment. We know in Genesis chapter one
-
verse 26, God said let us make man in our image according to
-
our likeness and let him have what dominion or rule.
-
So man's purpose was not to have a religion called Christianity.
-
Man's purpose was to reign in the earth as God reigns in his
-
realm and they would work together.
-
And the Spirit of God was the connection between the two
-
realms. Are you hearing me?
-
Because when he breathed on him to receive the spirit in him,
-
then he had the Holy Ghost. Adam himself was clothed in
-
glory, his body was, was glorified in the sense that it
-
would not die because the only thing that would cause death in
-
his life was disobedience. Are you hearing me?
-
And so he placed him in the garden, said you can eat of any
-
tree of the garden, right? And and he said, unless you eat
-
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for the day you
-
eat, you will surely what, die. So if Adam had never eaten the
-
fruit, he would still be here today, ruling and reigning, and
-
his offspring with Eve would be of that kind.
-
Are you hearing me? However, unfortunately, Adam ate
-
the fruit, rebelled or abdicated his throne, gave his dominion
-
over to the devil, and man fell. Fell.
-
So sin is a result of disobedience to God.
-
OK And so God in turn then is trying to re establish his
-
Kingdom on the earth and that's what he's doing.
-
When man fell, when he comes in the garden, he says, Adam, what
-
have you done? Then he talks with Eve.
-
Then he gets to the surfing and he says I'm going to bring my
-
seed born of the woman and he's going to crush your head.
-
In essence, I'm going to I got another seed that can redeem
-
mankind and put him back in his position to reign, put him back
-
in that position. Are you hearing me?
-
So from there, God is still trying to show the world his
-
rule. All the while this is throughout
-
the Bible and we see this occur with Abraham when he makes a
-
covenant with him. He says I'll make you a father
-
of many nations, right? Not religions.
-
He says I'll make you, I'll have you blessed.
-
You'll be a blessed nation. Whoever blesses you, be blessed.
-
Whoever curses you, be cursed. Y'all with me this morning.
-
OK, so with that being said, we see that God gives birth.
-
Abraham gives birth to Isaac, Isaac give birth to Jacob.
-
Jacob wrestles with the Lord. He has a name change called
-
Israel and that nation is in the earth today.
-
It would. It would bid you well to watch
-
how you speak about that nation even in its sin.
-
It would bid you well how you speak to that nation, 'cause
-
even when God turned on His own nation because of their
-
disobedience, He never allowed the nation that overtook them to
-
revel in it. In fact, He even expected that
-
they would have sorrow for what had happened to that nation and
-
anyone that did not. God ultimately destroyed the
-
nation that was used to correct His nation because they got into
-
disobedience. And God has said that nation
-
will be forever and it will always be here.
-
Let me tell you this, Israel will never leave planet earth.
-
There will never come another time that that lamb will be
-
overtaken by another nation. It will never happen.
-
It will never happen. The time has happened before,
-
but in 1948 that nation has come back and that generation that
-
was born then will see the king return.
-
Their king will come. I said their king will come.
-
Now you understand that God is functioning as a king over this
-
covenant with Abraham. But the people were rebellious.
-
So in First Samuel chapter 8, they rebel against God once
1 Samuel 8 chapter mention
-
again and say we want to see our king.
-
All the nations can see their king.
-
We cannot. We want a man to be our king.
-
So the Lord says, and you can look this up yourself.
-
First name of chapter 8, verse six.
-
The Lord says, Samuel, give the people what they want.
-
For they've not rejected me you, but they've rejected me as their
-
king. They give him Saul because
-
that's what the people pictured as a strong man king.
-
But in order for Saul to take the position, God had to 1st
-
anoint him. Are you hearing me?
-
He had to anoint him. I said he had to anoint him.
-
And in doing so, MO, I mean, Samuel took oil, which is an Old
-
Testament type of the Holy Spirit, and poured it upon
-
Samuel's head so that it would run down him.
-
It's not in him, but it came upon him.
-
I'm going to say that again. It's not in him.
-
It came upon him. It's very important because it's
-
not what's in Saul that makes him king, it's what's upon him.
-
Now let me bring it over to the New Testament.
-
Yes, you may be born of God and the Spirit of God is in you to
-
bear witness that you are a child of God, but the Spirit in
-
you is not enough for you to reign as king in this life.
-
You're going to have to have the Spirit upon you, not just in
-
you, because again, you can be a child of God and abdicate your
-
responsibility to rule. Are you hearing me?
-
So this moment in Matthew is God declaring to the world.
-
Is God the Father King of all creation?
-
Yeah. The Psalms tell us in 47 and in
-
24 that the earth, the Lord, is the king of all the earth.
-
So the Father sits on a throne. Thrones are in kingdoms, not
-
religions. Jesus used to sit at his right
-
hand during, you know, prior to this time, but he's left
-
heaven's realm. He's come to the earth, enclosed
-
himself as a man. Why?
-
Because a man had dominion. It requires man to recover that
-
dominion. That's why Jesus has to come
-
back. You need to understand this.
-
God loves you personally, there's no doubt, but the reason
-
He loves you personally is because He views you through the
-
purpose He has for man. Come on, He's coming not just
-
for you personally, He's coming first because He spoke that this
-
was the position man would be and he had to provide a way so
-
that you could get back in it. God is always first fulfilling
-
His Word. So when we sometimes think I am
-
the most important person in God's mind, that is not.
-
True. The Word is the most important
-
thing in God's mind. I said the Word because if He
-
fulfills the Word, it opens the door for you.
-
I said it opens the door for you, and He's not going to
-
violate His Word for you. He's not going to do it, I said.
-
He's not going to do it. He's not going to violate his
-
word. Now he may do an amendment to
-
get you out of the trouble you're in and pay a price so you
-
can get back in good standing, but he's not going to violate
-
his word for you. Are you hearing me?
-
So there are many that are born of God and by right are in the
-
King's house. I could say it this way.
-
In fact, Paul said a child that's born in the royal
-
bloodline and a servant to the royal bloodline.
-
When they're children, they're no different.
-
They're no different. No, it's not until they get to
-
the place after the training. That then they get into the seat
-
and you take the seat after the anointing.
-
Look, we see this in our history book.
-
David is king of all of Israel, but he has a lot of sons.
-
He has a lot of sons. Are you hearing me?
-
And there were some self-proclaimed, but they
-
weren't from God. And self-proclaimed kings don't
-
make it on the throne, but the one who was anointed got the
-
right to rule. Now here's the cool thing.
-
In God's Kingdom, we all get the right to rule.
-
Woo Hallelujah because you understand, it's not like, oh,
-
Pastor Earl has the anointing and everybody is following me.
-
You're not following me. You have an anointing and you're
-
following the Holy Ghost like I'm following the Holy Ghost.
-
And on our family, yes, we have a chain of command, but
-
ultimately, as we are yielding to the the Spirit of God and
-
walking and loving unity, then that power and that rule and
-
that reign in our lives individually, corporately shows
-
up and does something extremely significant.
-
So when God said, this is my beloved son, in whom I'm well
-
pleased? It is an announcement to all the
-
earth. I am the king of all creation.
-
This is my son, and he's taking the seat of power on the earth.
-
Here's. My anointing when David was
-
anointed that his king, Did all of Israel see it?
-
No, no they did not. You know who saw it?
-
The brothers and dad. But did they recognize the
-
anointing on his life later? Yes, they did.
-
I'm saying the event itself was, not.
-
Out for everyone to see, but the evidence that it was upon him
-
showed up in the way he reigned in his life.
-
Are you hearing me? My point is, is that there is a
-
public anointing that has to occur.
-
Oh, you. Don't want to hear this?
-
There is a public anointing that is occurring, and God had a
-
public anointing with Jesus. Now not all of Israel saw the
-
Spirit come upon him, but John did.
-
I'm going to give you 7 witnesses to Jesus's kingship. 7
-
witnesses to Jesus's kingship. This is very important because
-
the day of Pentecost is not about power to perform miracles.
-
It includes it. But that's not why we got it,
-
and that's not why God Jesus got it.
-
Jesus received the anointing upon.
-
For kingship. The right to rule in essence,
-
the Father said because Jesus is known as the second Adam or the
-
last Adam. The first Adam was anointed of
-
God to reign on the earth. He abdicated his throne, gave it
-
over to the devil. That's why the devil and the
-
temptation of Jesus in the I believe it's the Luke account
-
chapter 4 says all this domain I'll give you for it's been
-
handed over to me and I can give it to whomever I wish.
-
He received it from Adam. So the Lord saying this is my
-
second Adam are my last Adam and I'm anointing him and he and
-
Jesus will never lose the throne.
-
Glory to God. I said he'll never lose the
-
throne. So here are 7 witnesses of Jesus
-
being the Messiah or the King. The first one is the Father.
-
The Father it says in John chapter 5 verse 37 it says in
-
the Father who sent me he has. Testified of me.
-
You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form
-
has Jesus. Oh yeah.
-
And we know again here in in the Matthew account, the voice from
-
heaven, the Father says this is my beloved son in whom I am what
-
in essence he's saying this is the king of the earth.
-
Here's the king of the earth, Earth.
-
Here's your king, Earth. Not, not United States, not the
-
United States, let me say that. Not Christianity, Earth.
-
Here's your king. Now it's your choice to
-
accepting 'cause He's king. Nonetheless, Jesus himself, the
-
Son, testifies of his kingship in John chapter 8 verse 14.
-
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify about myself,
-
my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and I know
-
where I'm going, but you do not know where I came from or where
-
I am going. Jesus later on in John chapter
John 18 chapter mention
-
18 told. Pilate, when Pilate says, are
-
you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said, did somebody
-
tell you about me, or did you learn this on your own?
-
And he goes, look, I'm not from your nation.
-
Your chief priests handed you over me.
-
What have you done? He said, now look, my Kingdom.
-
So then he goes on and he says, so you are king.
-
And Jesus says, you say correctly that I am a king and
-
for this. Purpose this, 'cause I have come
-
to the earth, Amen. Is Jesus the king?
-
I said, is he the king? Is he the Messiah?
-
Hallelujah. In fact, the woman at the well
-
came to him and said, you know the Messiah, the King's coming.
-
You know when there's a debate on where we going to worship him
-
and he says, lady, who you looking for is right in front of
-
your face right now, Amen. He first revealed his kingship
-
to the woman. Glory to God, Hallelujah.
-
The third person that testifies of his kingship is the Holy
-
Spirit, John 1526 says, And when the helper comes, I will send
-
whom I will send to you from the Father.
-
That is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father.
-
He will testify about me. He will testify about me.
-
So the Holy Spirit is talking to you about the King.
-
That's what he's talking to you about, the king.
-
This is the word of the king. This is what the king wants you
-
to do. This how the king wants you to
-
respond. Why does he do this?
-
Because he says, listen, you're an ambassador.
-
You are a king of the King, and this is how you are to represent
-
His Kingdom. So he instructs us, He teaches
-
us, He shows us our royal bloodline, He gives us
-
instruction, He trained changes us, He renews our mind so that
-
we will function as kings in the earth.
-
Jesus was anointed to reign so that we could be anointed to
-
reign as well. All right.
-
The 4th one is the written word, the written word, things that
-
were passed on through the law and the prophets, and it says in
-
Luke 2427. Then beginning with Moses and
-
with all the prophets, he explained to them the things
-
concerning himself in All in all the Scripture.
-
Jesus like. You didn't see that there, did
-
you? That's me there.
-
Yeah, that's me there. Yeah, that's me there.
-
And man, when you understand it's the Kingdom, then it's
-
everywhere, is it not? I mean, you can't Unsee it when
-
you see it. Now if I say Kingdom and you
-
think heaven, then you didn't see it.
-
Because kingdom's not heaven. Heaven is heaven and earth is
-
earth. Kingdom's in both, right?
-
How do we know this? Well, what's the prayer?
-
The Lord's Prayer, we say. We say it's the Lord's Prayer.
-
Our Father whose father? He's your daddy too.
-
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your
-
Kingdom come, your will be on as it is.
-
So how can the Kingdom be done in the earth if it's only
-
heaven? So the Kingdom is not heaven.
-
The Kingdom is Kingdom, which is King's dominion.
-
It is the rule and reign of God. Hallelujah.
-
And that rule and reign is here. This is why our God is not
-
competing with the gods of this world, because he's not a
-
religion anyway. Our God is not even competing
-
with the nations of the world, 'cause they will bow, they will
-
bow. But the devil has raised up
-
nations to give us religion so that he can keep us blind from
-
the government that we actually already are part of right now.
-
And it is taking over the planet.
-
Hallelujah. And right now the Lord is doing
-
it peacefully. His weapons of warfare a lot
-
different, but He's doing it peacefully.
-
What do I mean by that? I mean, He's letting us go to
-
nations and just testify. But he'll come back and it won't
-
be so peaceful for those nations.
-
I said it won't be so peaceful. He will establish the rule, and
-
He's given them plenty of time by faith to yield.
-
Are you hearing me? So the written word testifies of
-
Jesus being king and man. We could go through Scripture
-
right now where we talk about the king.
-
Daniel saw the king Isaiah. Remember Isaiah Chapter 9, verse
Isaiah 9 chapter mention
-
six? He said a child will be born, a
-
son will be given, and the government shall rest on his
-
shoulders. Not a religion, not Christianity
-
as most people think of Christianity.
-
I mean, could we associate Christianity with all kinds of
-
churches, all kinds of things? And it's nothing of the Bible.
-
It is just religious exercise at best.
-
But when you understand the Kingdom, it's this Kingdom that
-
will come, this king who will establish his Kingdom.
-
And the Bible says he'll have no end.
-
Daniel saw this Kingdom come, that it would be a rock made
-
without hands. Who was that rock?
-
Jesus is? And it would fill the whole
-
earth. Divine works testify of his
-
kingship. I said divine works testify of
-
this kingship. That's number five John chapter
-
10 verse 23 Jesus answers said I told you and ye believe not the
-
works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness of me.
-
The works he did were to bear witness that the kingdoms here.
-
What did Jesus say? He said if I cast out a devil
-
with the finger of God, you. Know the kingdoms here.
-
So again, the miracle signs and wonders were not so people would
-
be impressed with Jesus's power. When I say power, I'm going to
-
I'm saying it right now in the term that most believers,
-
especially on the day of Pentecost, accepted as and that
-
is miraculous power. Jesus did not become anointed of
-
the Holy Spirit for miraculous power because the miraculous
-
power was there to communicate the kingdoms here.
-
How do we know this is true? Well, we understand that Jesus
-
healed the sick, raised the dead, healed blonde eyes open
-
deaf ears, love the lame walk, cured leprosy.
-
I mean done so many amazing miraculous thing, multiplied
-
bread and fish. I mean he calmed the seas.
-
He spoke to trees and they died. I mean, this guy was amazing,
-
right? And he gets three years in the
-
ministry and people are what, holding on to the miraculous.
-
I want to see the miraculous power, Jesus, Jesus.
-
I want to see the miraculous power in Jesus life.
-
Not even going to do a miracle no more.
-
You missed the point, he said. You're a perverse and wicked
-
generation. All you do is seek, and you're
-
missing the sign. The sign was not.
-
Look at the miraculous power I have.
-
The sign was the Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here, the
-
Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.
-
The Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.
-
You've missed the Kingdom. So I'm not even going to do a
-
miracle now in your city. So he takes one guy that's blind
-
out of the city. In order to heal, Heal because
-
I'm not doing it in front of you anymore.
-
Because you don't know what this anointing on me is actually for.
-
You don't even know you've missed it.
-
John testifies of his kingship. John 134.
-
He said, I this is the apostle John.
-
I myself have seen and have and have testified that this is.
-
The Son of God. Are you hearing me?
-
And then the 7th and again the Bible says let everything be
-
confirmed by two or three witnesses.
-
We just gave you 7. Jesus is the King, I said.
-
Jesus is the King. The disciples #7 the disciples,
-
John 2124. This is the disciple who was
-
testifying to these things and wrote these things.
-
And we know that his testimony is true.
-
We know that his testimony is true.
-
Remember Peter after he had to stand in front of the religious
-
leaders after the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus, after
-
Peter received his kingship? I'm going to say that again.
-
After Peter received his kingship, after Peter received
-
his kingship, he's standing before religious religion and
-
says, if I am here today because of what's happened to a man at a
-
gate, let it be known that the Christ you crucified.
-
Jesus. It's by his power and His power
-
alone that this miracle has been performed.
-
Are you hearing me? And they recognized that these
-
men, though untrained in the religious way, had been with
-
what Jesus 'cause they were modeling his Kingdom attributes.
-
In essence, you think that you've killed him, you know he's
-
come back, you're lying to everybody, that he was raised,
-
you know, the stone was rolled away and you know, you've paid
-
off the soldiers to spread a lot, that we have stolen him and
-
we are communicating propaganda. But you know, he lives because
-
he spoke that he lives. And what you don't know is that
-
he died and rose so that not only could he reign, but we
-
could reign as well. So you didn't stop the Kingdom
-
from being here 'cause you killed the king?
-
Cause the king didn't stay dead. You didn't realize you played
-
into the King's hand. He wanted to die so that I could
-
be sent like him. I could get into the earth like
-
him. I could do the worst he did.
-
I could say what he could say. I could be anointed to reign
-
just like he is. Oh gosh.
-
Look what it says here in Isaiah 11 one through 4 it says, then a
-
shoot will spring forth from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from
-
his roots will bear fruit. The spirit of the Lord will rest
-
upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
-
counsel and strengthen, the spirit of knowledge and the fear
-
of the Lord. Man, can you see in verse 2?
-
All that comes upon you on the day of Pentecost.
-
What we want to do is celebrate. Get into power and we don't even
-
know this is about kingship. We're receiving more than just
-
the power to demonstrate the kingdoms in the earth causing in
-
God's Kingdom. There is no sickness.
-
In God's Kingdom, there is no lack in God's Kingdom there is
-
no imperfection. In God's Kingdom, there is no
-
depression. In God's Kingdom, there is no
-
demonic bondage in his Kingdom. So every time we function.
-
And we cast out a devil we lay hands on.
-
We're saying the kingdom's here, that this realm, this earth,
-
although it is not where it needs to be, but know this, the
-
kingdom's here, it's influences here.
-
It's yeast. It's in the earth, and you're
-
not. Not going to stop it.
-
You're not going to stop it. Why?
-
Because I've been anointed with the same anointing that my king
-
has. So on the day of Pentecost, when
-
we celebrate the baptism of the Holy Ghost, one thing that we do
-
is we sensationalize tongues, when tongues in love itself is
-
just the language of the Kingdom.
-
Again, I've done it time and time again, not going to do it
-
today, but I could bring people up here right now.
-
I could bring someone that could speak Albania, who could speak
-
Greek, who could speak Spanish right now, and they could speak
-
to you in those prospective languages and nobody would say
-
it's of the devil. So why in the world do we think
-
God doesn't have a language? Obviously does.
-
Now the cool thing about God is he doesn't require you to have
-
to understand it in your mind to speak it.
-
That's what's amazing is the Lord's life.
-
Just yield, say it your mind don't know it, but release what
-
I'm saying because I hear it, I understand it and it's my
-
perfect will. And the devil don't know it and
-
he can't understand that communication.
-
But it releases my angels. It releases my purpose.
-
It releases my. Will so speak it out and then
-
it'll build up your most holy faith knowing that this life is
-
not the life you are here to live because you're not of this
-
world. It gives me this context that I
-
am disconnected from this natural realm.
-
I am reminded man I'm not my own when I pray in the spirit.
-
Thank God I am of the God kind. Are you hearing me?
-
But the it's not about the tongues, nor is it just about
-
the power of miraculous or what we call the access of the gifts
-
of the Spirit. Because guess what the Holy
-
Spirit will bring? He'll bring a spirit of wisdom
-
and understand how can you have an anointing upon your life and
-
be so silly and allies we're incapable of mind renewal.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
'Cause there's nothing worse than a foolish king.
-
Nothing worse. And the Holy Spirit came upon
-
you. He's in you to bear witness with
-
your spirit. You're a child of God.
-
He come upon you to bring power. And one of the powers he brings
-
is to eradicate thought so that you'll think like a king.
-
He'll give you wisdom and understanding in essence, He
-
comes upon me in such a way that now I get to reign over my
-
emotions that despair upon me. Lets me say, I don't care how
-
you feeling right now, suck it up.
-
Hold the tears back. We're not crying over this deal.
-
We going to find out what the King says.
-
We going to get our mourning into gladness.
-
We going to get our doubt into faith.
-
We going to get our fear into faith.
-
We going to get our hatred over into love.
-
We going to get our lust under control and we going to move.
-
Why? Because.
-
We reign now. Now we have a reigning spirit
-
upon us. We have been anointed to reign
-
in every aspect of our life. There is no wringing of the
-
hands. Oh, what are we going to do?
-
Lord, You have come upon me, which means You have brought to
-
me the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
-
You have given me the spirit of counsel and strength.
-
I mean how you have given me the spirit of what knowledge and the
-
fear of the. How in the world could an
-
anointed king, when the anointing comes upon them, think
-
that they could be playing in the devil's backyard?
-
And God, there's no consequence with God, 'cause when this fear
-
comes upon you, then the fear of the Lord is present.
-
We're all of a sudden you're like I.
-
Don't want to do anything that is going to disgrace my king
-
that would cause bad family name that would look make me
-
disqualified. So this branch that came from
-
Jesse which is Jesus when the Spirit descended upon him in
-
Matthew chapter three, he received the Spirit of wisdom,
-
understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge and the fear
-
of the Lord. That's why Jesus said I will not
-
do anything that he has not told me to do period.
-
That's why he'll look at some of his closest companions and say
-
your mind is wrong Peter, it's set on the devil.
-
I will not listen to that thought.
-
I will do the will of my Father. Sorry you don't understand, and
-
that's not being callous. That is the.
-
Fear of the Lord, How would I ever compromise my walk with my
-
father? Because you just don't
-
understand. But I'm praying for you.
-
I'm praying for you. Oh Hallelujah, He goes on to say
-
in verse three. And he will delight in the fear
-
of the Lord. He delights.
-
In it, man, we need to learn to delight.
-
In the fear of the Lord, delight in it because we have been
-
anointed. He was anointed to reign, which
-
means this anointing gave him a delight to the fear of the Lord.
-
That doesn't mean he's afraid of God, that God's going to beat
-
him down. No, he's like, I have such a
-
reverence in awe and respect and honor for my father and that his
-
ways are life. His way of my life is worth
-
laying. I trust him emphatically for his
-
plan. And even when he was in the
-
garden, said Dad. Is there another way to do it?
-
Because at the end of the day, we have never in all eternity up
-
to this point that I'm in time on the planet.
-
Been separated and. If there's really another way,
-
man. But if not, your will be done.
-
In essence, is there a ram caught in the thicket?
-
Dad, Abraham didn't have to kill his son.
-
Is there something on the other side of this mountain that I
-
don't see? And the father says, son, it was
-
always you, that it was always you.
-
But it's all right, because I told you in three days I will
-
free you. Hallelujah, Lord, it says.
-
Then based upon this anointing, look what this anointing did.
-
He delighted in the fear of the Lord, and he will not judge by
-
what he his eyes see. Nor make a decision by what his
-
ears hear, but with righteousness he will judge the
-
poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth.
-
And he will strike the earth how?
-
With the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he
-
will slay the wicked. What does that mean?
-
The minute the king releases his word, this is what takes place.
-
If you obey me, this is what takes place.
-
If you don't, they are in the earth.
-
If you choose life, you live. If you choose death, He will
-
slay you because he will do what he said.
-
He will do so. When the anointing came upon
-
him, not only did he give him wisdom, understanding, counsel,
-
strength, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, but it caused him to
-
not judge by what he saw or what he heard.
-
He was not led by sight, ever. He had a direct connection to
-
the Ruler, his Father. This is how he functioned on the
-
earth. This is how he lived.
-
This is why everything he said is just, is right.
-
This is why when he made calculations about religious
-
people and called them hypocrites, he was right,
-
although they talked about him in the back rooms.
-
He knew their thoughts, He understood their ways, and he
-
judged justly. Well, it's amazing how we think
-
we know stuff. Ah, but God knows, I said.
-
God knows. We've said it before.
-
Well, the Lord knows my heart. You bet he does.
-
You bet He does. And you are not faking it with
-
your mouth. That's it.
-
That's. It.
-
No, you're not. Hallelujah.
-
So with that being said, Revelation chapter 19, this is
Revelation 19 chapter mention
-
good news, guys. I said this is good news.
-
Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
It's the day of Pentecost. But you got to understand the
-
anointing the the Holy Spirit coming upon is the King's
-
anointing. It's to anoint you in kingship,
-
he says. And I saw heaven.
-
Open. And behold a White Horse,
-
Hallelujah. And I saw heaven opened, and I
-
saw a White Horse. And he who said on it is called
-
faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and
-
wages. Do you know our king will wage a
-
war? His eyes are a flame of fire,
-
and on his heads are many diadems, and he has a name
-
written on him which no one knows except himself.
-
He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called
-
the Word of God. And the armies which are in
-
heaven, what do they dress like? Sure don't look like what our
-
natural armies look like. They are clothed in fine linen,
-
white and clean. No camo.
-
The enemy going to know we are coming.
-
Come on now, you going to know we coming.
-
Now they may not see us initially in the cloud because
-
we camo there, but once we break and I don't know, maybe the Lord
-
split the clouds and be all blue and they'll think we bunch of
-
clouds till we show up. But once we hit the planet,
-
they're going to be like, well, there they are.
-
They're white. They'll probably say, oh,
-
they're wearing white, They're giving up.
-
No, not us. It says in the armies are which
-
are in heaven clothed and fine linen, white and clean were
-
what? Following him on white horses,
-
and his mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it he may
-
strike what the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of
-
iron, and he will he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath.
-
Of God the Almighty, and on his robe and on his thigh he has a
-
name written, King of Kings and Lord.
-
Oh Lord, who are those kings? Who are those kings?
-
Who are those kings? Listen.
-
We are those kings right now, today.
-
And the reason why the Holy Spirit came on the day of
-
Pentecost was not so that you could be endued with miraculous
-
power alone, so that you could speak in a language that nobody
-
knew. No, it came upon you so that you
-
would receive the same anointing.
-
Jesus had I close with this verse John chapter 20 verses 21
-
and 22. He said this, he said to them,
-
so Jesus said to them again, peace be with you as the Father
-
sent me, I also send you and and when he had said this, he
-
breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit.
-
So he's saying, listen, you can't go like you are.
-
So in this passage we see that Jesus saw the new birth
-
experience with the disciples because they said Jesus was
-
Lord. Then he gathers them together in
-
Acts chapter one, verse three. And as he pulls them together,
-
he presents himself alive after his suffering.
-
Many convincing proofs appearing to them over a period of 40 days
-
and Speaking of things concerning the Kingdom of God.
-
Then gathering together, he commanded them, Don't leave
-
Jerusalem, he said. Don't leave, he said, but wait
-
for what the Father has from now.
-
He's already breathed on them in an upper room or in a room now,
-
he says don't go nowhere, but you're going to receive power
-
not too many days from now from the Holy Ghost, John says.
-
I need for you to baptize me because John knew you anointed
-
me, makes me a king in your Kingdom.
-
The reason why so many people are missing out on all the Holy
-
Ghost wants is because they want the Spirit of God and the power
-
of God so they can lay hands on the sick.
-
They get healed and take credit for it so that they can be known
-
as the great healing evangelist, the great prophet who gives the
-
words and knowledge and everyone should flock to them.
-
And they're like, but I've been in do with power.
-
The Holy Ghost has come upon me. You're like, you don't even know
-
what the Holy Ghost is upon you, for He's upon you so that you
-
would reign in this life and in reigning as a king, then you
-
would demonstrate. The qualities of the Kingdom,
-
which happened to cast out devils, heal the sick, raise the
-
dead, prophecy, speak words of knowledge, speak words of
-
wisdom, disclose things to come, discern spiritual things that
-
just comes because that's part of Kingdom access.
-
And the reason why I have is because I'm the child of a king
-
and I've been anointed as king. That's why I have the anointing
-
not to show off. Not so that you'll come to me
-
and think I have power. No, I'm nothing.
-
Anything that I am is because of the king.
-
It's because of the king. And the king said I don't want
-
you going around this planet unless you're functioning like I
-
did. And I didn't have my first
-
witnessing. I didn't even.
-
Preach once until I was anointed king.
-
Are you hearing me? So here today you have need, I
-
said. You have need.
-
I said you have need. I said you have need.
-
You have need. Cause on the Day of Pentecost,
-
you have need. Yeah, come on.
-
And for many of you, I'm just going to say right now, you need
-
to. Tweak why you are anointed.
-
Because when we tweak why we're anointed, then God's going to
-
let the Kingdom flow through us more.
-
How do I know you got to tweak it 'cause you know, I hear it,
-
man. I was in such and such and I
-
laid hands on them and they got healed.
-
You know, I prayed for them and they.
-
Did that, I did this, I did that.
-
If you don't watch out, yes, it's through you.
-
It's happened. But if you don't watch out,
-
you'll start saying I I to the point that you'll feel like it's
-
you. If it weren't for the anointing,
-
I said. If it weren't for the anointing.
-
Right. No.
-
How do you know it's like? The Kingdom manifested this
-
weekend. Pastor Earl, how did that
-
happen? You know what?
-
The Lord by His Spirit led me to go do this and pray here, say
-
this. And his Kingdom manifested.
-
Keeps perspective, it keeps where you're like, don't look to
-
me, look to Him, don't look to me, look to him, 'cause I
-
didn't. I'm just a conduit, I'm just a
-
representative. It's his power, it's his
-
Kingdom, it's his glory, it's his.
-
It's all him. And when we function that way,
-
realize. So that's why I'm baptized in
-
the Holy Ghost. That's why.
-
Not so you can have goosebumps, not so you can fall down.
-
Not so that you can run super fast.
-
It's the only time you do exercise.
-
Are you hearing me? It's not so You Can Dance till
-
your clothes fall off. It's so you can represent the
-
Kingdom. It's so that the earth will
-
know. Now I wasn't there, but it's
-
obvious you reign. They weren't there.
-
When God anointed you, but you know you are and the world of
-
no. When you function as a king in
-
the earth that way, are you here?
