And this morning we're going to just tie in and some things

you'll pastor always with sharing last night and talking

about who we are and what we are and how weird operating these

things have been a theme this week.

God is renewing within us. Who we are.

Our purpose. How to live in the, the

authority of the Kingdom. Amen.

Praise God. We're going to start today in

Luke's gospel. The first chapter, and I'm going

to, I'm just going to share some things and teach some things

today. I believe that will help you to

navigate through life and through this life and learn some

things about how to operate in your Authority as a kingdom,

believer, and find out that if there are certain things going

on, In your life, you're not missing it.

There's certain attacks going on in your life.

You're not in sin. Amen.

If things haven't broken loose yet, it doesn't mean that you're

not in faith. Okay, it just means that you're

living in this certain age that you're going to have to deal

with some of this stuff. Amen.

And so, what we're going to do is this if I was going to tie

dive just say, you know, one Kingdom with two ages,

hallelujah. Amen.

So here in Luke chapter 1, the Lord sends the Gable down.

Luke 1 · chapter mention

We're going to pick it up in verse 30, and it says, then the

angel said to her, said to Mary, do not be afraid.

Mary for you, have found favor with God.

Behold, you will conceive. Conceive in your womb and bring

forth a son and shall call his name Jesus.

He will be great him and he will be called the son of the

highest. And the Lord God will give him

the Throne of his father David. And he will reign over the house

of Jacob forever and of his kingdom, there will be no end.

Now this is the Angel, Gabriel God's messenger, angel coming to

tell Mary what God is about to do.

And what he is saying, is this God is going to supernaturally

conceive in your womb, the son of the Living God, and he's

coming to be the Son of God in manifestation.

He's coming to be God back with you.

And his purpose is this. He's going to be a king.

He's going to rule over the throw, sit on the throne of

David. He's going to rule over the

house of Jacob and when he gets finished, his kingdom is going

to be so strong. So powerful and so mighty there

will be no end to it. Amen.

And we know the kingdom means Kings domain, or Dominion

Authority and Rule and so, therefore, he's saying, when the

son that you're going to conceive comes and God manifest

himself through the sun, he becomes the king, he's going to

set up his rule, his Reign, his Dominion forever and ever and

ever. And there's not going to be an

enemy that's going to be powerful enough to ever topple

his kingdom. Amen.

So He's saying this that the kingdom of God is going to be so

great. With this new King, sitting on

the throne, that they'll be no enemy that will ever be able to

overcome it. Praise God.

Now that's the kingdom. We're talking about.

Amen. Now in Luke's Gospel of the 16th

chapter. I want you to see something.

Here will tie this in in Luke chapter, 16 and verse 16.

We re down here in the Lord Jesus is speaking to the

Pharisees. He says the law of the Prophets

were until John told about John the Baptist since that time the

kingdom of God has been preached and everyone is pressing into

it. Now, the angel announces that

God's kingdom is coming back to humanity through a king being

born into the Earth. And then we don't hear much

about the kingdom until the Lord Jesus is baptized in the River

Jordan by John and he comes up out of the water and the Holy

Spirit comes down upon him and he's filled with the Holy

Spirit. John 3:34 says he received the

John 3:34

spirit of God without measuring other words.

He was fully baptized or anointed by the Holy Spirit.

And we know that because Luke chapter 4, then talks about he

Luke 4 · chapter mention

then went in the power of the spirit and was led by the spirit

Into the Wilderness, a man. So Us begin to do this.

And so then we find out also that in John 1:29.

John 1:29

A John steps up whenever he sees the Lord Jesus coming.

And he says this Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin

of the world. So the angel Gabriel announced

to Mary, who her son was going to be.

And John was raised up by God to prepare the way for the son.

The Messiah, the king, and John on the River, Jordan looks up

and sees Coming and by the spirit of God says, Behold the

Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, here comes the

one. And here's the reason that the

children of Israel missed it is because they were looking for a

Conquering Hero to come in and just overcome Rome and set up

the kingdom and they were going to rule.

He's going to be this mighty king.

But the John describes this new king, as the Lamb of God, that

takes away the sin of the world. Well what's the conflict here?

Jesus came the first time as the Lamb of God and as a king, who

would be set in a place where he would experience all the things

that you and I experience. Hebrews 2 says he's a high

priest and as a high priest, he's touched by the infirmities

that we go through. In the feelings, we go through,

he feels everything by because he's been tempted with

everything. As we were see, Jesus didn't

come to the Earth to be a totality.

Therrien. King that would just ruled by

with without Mercy or anything and just come in my way or the

highway. But Jesus came first to

experience all that man was having to experience and go

through. So when he said on his throne,

he would be a benevolent. Loving King, who would be

touched by, what we're going through and be there with a

sensitivity to help us to get through it.

How they lujah. Amen.

And that's the king. We have sitting on the throne

today. A king that cannot be touched.

By the feeling of our infirmities.

He meant, he is touched. He is moved.

He's Minister. He's there to love us and take

care of us. Praise God.

Now, the king is wrote was looking for from the Old

Testament. Prophets is about to return.

Hallelujah. Amen.

And when he returns this time, he will look like a king.

Praise God. But you've got to understand

something. Here, this church age or the

kingdom of God was introduced back to humanity.

Through Gabriel when he spoke to Mary and told her that the King

was coming. Amen.

After the baptism of John notice there in Luke 16, he said that

the law and the prophets were preached until John the Baptist

up until John came the law and the prophets.

Office were the message that was being preached but when John

comes along, John begins to prepare people for the king and

the kingdom of God. And so the kingdom of God began

to be priests with John and Jesus steps up.

And the very first message is that the Lord Jesus preaches.

After the baptism of John is the gospel of the Kingdom, meaning

what? The change?

Took place there, Hallelujah, the kingdom was introduced

through Gabriel but then the king himself.

Begin to bring it forth in the preaching of the Gospel.

Hallelujah. Now let me show you look in

Mark's gospel. The first chapter over here in

Mark chapter 1. The Lord Jesus begins.

Mark 1 · chapter mention

His ministry will pick it up in verse 14.

And it says as yeah. Now after John was set was put

in prison. See, Jesus does.

Is Jesus came to Galilee what was he doing when he came to

Galilee preaching, the gospel of the message of the good news of

the kingdom of God and saying the time is fulfilled and the

kingdom of God is at hand, repent, and believe in the

gospel. Now, the Lord, not only

preaches, the gospel of the Kingdom, but the Lord, Jesus,

now, comes and tells you how to get into the kingdom.

Amen. And it begins with repentance.

Now, there's a difference in Repentance and remorse.

Amen. When Judas messed up and

realized he messed up, he was remorseful and went out and hung

himself. Remorseful means I'm sad.

I got caught, but if I could do it again, I probably would.

Amen. Repentance is not only a

Brokenness or sadness that you've done something wrong.

It's a revelation that you're wrong and it is a complete

withdrawal from that wrongness to turn to what is right.

What Jesus is teaching here in this when he says repent he

saying you need to turn from having rule over your own life

and trying to control it yourself and turn that rule and

roll over to me so that I now have rule I now have authority

in your Life and now I'm the one directing your steps.

So we can say like this when the Lord is preaching the gospel and

says, repent believe the gospel. He's saying quit being your own

King and make me your king. Amen.

Quit being your own God. Doing your own thing in your own

self and turn to me and let me become your God.

Let me begin to direct you. Let me begin to be your

strength. And he says, what you have to do

is this you have to go from being your own source to

believing the word that I have for you.

And operating according to the word that I give you.

That's how you get in the Kingdom.

How many of you found out? You just don't go.

Forward in a church service kneel down say God forgive me.

I'm really sorry. I did this and the best I can

and will live for you and your leave.

Nothing happened in your life. Jesus is saying you've come to

the place where you're so sick and tired of the way it is.

And you realize that we are doing is not going to get you

anywhere and you can't change it and you're tired of trying to be

the head and Lord and king of your own life, and you need

help. And Lord, I'm making a complete

turn from what I'm doing to you. I'm going to God.

Instead of being rebellious to, I'm going to be submissive to

you. I'm turning to you for help and

your will to be done in my life. That's true repentance.

And it takes commitment to because you drop down to verse

17. And whenever Jesus found that,

you know, he started calling the disciples, he says, then Jesus

said to them, follow me and I will make you to become Fishers

of Men and immediately left their Nets and followed him.

You know, you could tell it like this.

The Amplified says he said, follow me become my disciples

and I'll make you Fishers of Men.

Learn of me. In other words, make the

decision to commit yourself to me.

Walk after me, And learn of me become a disciple.

And when you do, I'll change your life from being A Life.

That's All About You To A Life. That's all about the kingdom and

me. Amen.

Because you'll become a fisher men, you'll become an influencer

to the world of the good news that I'm bringing to them that

they can now be saved from their sins to amen.

But notice you have to be a follower.

You have to what true repentance means.

I, my life is going to be changed from this day forward.

Amen. Whenever I repented and gave my

heart to the Lord, I did. So because I didn't like the

life I had, Didn't like what I was doing.

Didn't like way of felt. Didn't like what was going on?

Didn't like the actions. I was done.

I did and I'd realized I couldn't change it myself.

So I turned to the Lord and he changed it.

Hallelujah. Because whenever I gave my heart

to the Lord, I changed Kings because whether you like it or

not, you're either serving King Jesus or your servant King

devil. Because the Lord said, you're

either with me and Matthew, he said, you're either with me or

you're against me because there is no middle the road here.

You're even the kingdom of God. You're in the kingdom of

darkness. You either under the lordship

and King and Rule of the Lord Jesus Christ, are you under the

lordship of the devil? One of them is now directing

your path. Determining, what you have,

where you go and where you end up So I chose to go with the

winter. Hallelujah!

Amen. And I chose the Lord.

Jesus Christ. Praise God.

Now, you're right there. In, Mark, go to marks the tenth

chapter, and here's where we were setting this up to get to

praise God. Mark, chapter 10 and I'm sure

Mark 10 · chapter mention

we, you know, the story and, but we're going to touch on a little

bit. We're going to begin in verse

17. Talk about the Rich, Young

Ruler. And it says this.

Now as he was going on the road, talking about the Lord Jesus.

There came. Came to him and knelt before him

and asked him sit and he said, good teacher.

What shall I do that? I may inherit eternal life.

So Jesus said to him, why do you call me good?

No one is good. But God alone but one that's

God. Now notice here, the Lord's.

Yeah, I want one who say that Lord knows this this this this

young man comes running to Jesus and he says, good Master.

What do I need to do to inherit eternal life?

Now, we think about an eternal life.

We think about living forever. But eternal life, here, Zoe the

god, kind of. How do I get the kind of life

you got How do I enter into a life?

That's greater than the life I've got.

And knows the Lord says, why do you call me?

Good. There's only one good and that's

God. The Lord is testing him.

He's coming to him and saying basically he's looking and

saying do you recognize me as God incarnate as the Son of God?

Who is one here? Who has come from God, or do you

recognize me just as another good teacher?

Are you sincerely? Wanting a change in your life by

looking to me as deity and as God as the Messiah or you coming

to me as a Good teacher that will just add to your profile

and help you in life. Because how you approach the

Lord is going to determine what you get from me.

When I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, I didn't come to a good

teacher. I didn't come to a historical

figure. I didn't come to somebody.

That's going to come back, someday.

I came to a living and Lord savior Redeemer, king of kings

and Lord. I came to, he became real, he

was God to me, hey, men Jesus out, he wasn't just good.

He's God. And so the Lord has is locating

where this man is. We're what's your mold is why

are you wanting this kind of life?

Because to give this life, you have to understand who I am

because this life flows out of me, you can't have this life

without him. Amen.

So it doesn't start with eternal life.

It starts with the one who gives eternal life Amen.

And so the Lord is teaching here and he's showing us.

So, Jesus said to him, why do you call me good?

No one is good. But one that is God.

You know, the Commandments? No, she didn't say do you.

He said, you know, so the Lord knows this guy in Amazing when

we come to the Lord, he already knows as we might as well get

honest. Amen.

Well Lord, you know I really believe in the Lord says no.

I really know you don't believe it.

So the Lord says this he looks and says, you know, the

Commandments do not commit adultery Do not murder, do not

steal, do not bear false, witness do not defraud, honor

your father and your mother and he answered and said to him,

teacher all these things I have kept from my youth.

Okay, Gordon knew that said, you know, these things and the young

man says I've done that. See, it's still all about him.

What do I do to get eternal life?

I've kept all these things. I've been successful, I've been

prosperous. I have a good standing in the

community. I have great potential because

I'm young and they tell me already.

I'm doing great things. I have done all of these things.

Notice it. He's still looking at himself,

he still, he still the center of his life.

Okay. So look what happens.

And Jesus looking at him loved him.

Everybody say Jesus loved him. The words of the Lord are going

to give to him are not words of being mad at him upset with him.

Trying to put him in his place. Jesus is speaking out of love.

Jesus loves this young man and Jesus is already seen into his

heart. Jesus knows everything is going

on his life. He's already set him up.

To have to make a decision. Amen.

So this read then, Jesus looking at him, loved him and said to

him. One thing you like man, the Lord

looked at me and said, love me said about 100 things.

You praise God, that's pretty good.

This guy. He said one thing you like,

here's, here's the, you could say it like this.

So the most important thing you lack, The one thing that's the

most important over you, keeping these Commandments.

You, prospering you've been having good standing in your

community, you trying to be a good person.

The most important thing you're lacking and here it is one thing

you like, go your way. So whatever you have and give to

the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, and come

take up the cross and follow me. But he was, he was sat at his

word and went away sorrowful for.

He had great possessions. And then Jesus looked around and

said to his disciples, how hard is it for those who have riches

to enter the kingdom of God? Hm.

Now let's read on because right now you think you know you can't

be rich and big Christian. Love people say that.

And then if we preach the poverty mentality, if you're

going to make Chris you have to suffer their life.

And yeah then just live on the handouts that fall from Heaven,

okay? But let's let the Lord continued

on here. Let's don't break him off in his

sus and so, okay, then verse 23 again, then Jesus looked around

and said to his disciples, how hard is it for those who have

richest in the kingdom of heaven?

And his disciples were astonished at his word.

Now why would the disciples be astonished at his words?

If they didn't already were experiencing blessings in their

life? You know, if I'm poor and

Beatdown hungry, you know, I would have said yes.

That's right. Amen.

But you know, Peter had already gone out and got a boatload

sinking, net of fish tour. The market up.

I mean, they'd already taken that, you know, a few fish and a

few loaves of bread and broken fed over 5,000 people.

So, they were hurting, okay, and The Disciples of already seeing

that limb for God's a pretty good thing.

Because he Supernatural taking care of us.

So when they said it's hard to be rich and get in they went I

got a pretty nice cloak here and got a nice bowtie cuz I got to

and so they're just kind of like us today.

They jump to conclusions. Supposed to be poor Beatdown

dredging through life, living a Christianity.

But one day. Hallelujah.

When we get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be

no, praise God. We should have rejoicing now.

He, man. But Jesus answered again and

said to them, he's going to explain it to him children.

How hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter the

kingdom of God? It's easier for a camel to go

through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the

kingdom of God. And they were greatly astonished

saying among themselves and who can be saved.

But Jesus looked at them and said with men, it is impossible

but not with God, for With God, all things are possible.

Now, the Lord brings us to the place and he's saying I will

never ask you to do. something that I would not give you the

ability to do If you come into the kingdom of God, is not all

that. You can do is what I can do for

you. And when I ask you to do

something, I'm going to do it with you and for you and through

you. And you'll never have to deal

with anything that ask you to do in your own strength or young

power. Your own might come on.

How many of you know, that you can't repent without that.

Repent of heart that the Lord gives you whenever you hear his

word and reveals himself to your faith is not of you.

Your faith comes to you through the word of God through your

relationship and fellowship that you have with the Lord Jesus

Christ. So God Romans 12:3 gives us

Romans 12:3

Faith to live by It had amazing, you saved by grace through faith

is the gift of God, is Not of Works.

Lest anyone should boast everybody says, all The Graces

gift. Will you?

Faith is against everything you get in this life?

It comes to your king. Hallelujah.

And the Lord is saying if you sit down and try to figure this

out in your head and try to do it in your own strength, you're

going to struggle, you're not going to make it but With God,

all things are possible. Amen.

And one is talking to this young man.

Is this? He said, when he says, you go

sell everything you have. And give to the poor and you do

this. He is basically saying to the

young man, you need to get rid of anything and everything that

would hinder you from submitting your entire life.

To me, do not let anything else have rule or any.

Kind of hold in your life if it does you're not completely

submitted to my room and so therefore if you really want to

experience the blessings of God, you cannot let something else be

Lord in your life. Amen.

So he's saying cleanse yourself, son from anything that would

dilute your commitment to me did get rid of anything that is

before me. Amen.

Come on now. And so the Lord is speaking to

us. What true repentance is

repentance is, I don't come to God with conditions.

And also, we now find the motive of the heart of this young man.

He wasn't coming to inherit the Kingdom or go move into the

camera. Move into the life of God.

He was coming to get another notch in his in his sword so

that he could show everybody what kind of a good person.

He was, it was about him. The folks, I want to tell you

something. The kingdom of God is not about

me. It's about Jesus.

Amen. And Pastor brought out last

night, I'm an ambassador of the Lord.

Paul said we are ambassadors. We had the privilege of taking

this word of reconciliation to the world and telling the people

but I don't go and tell them I can get them saved.

I don't go and tell them what I'm doing.

I don't go and tell them what I'm living.

I go and tell them what God wants or them to have on what

the kingdom. All about, I'm representing

Jesus. I don't speak on my behalf even

when I pray for the sick and minister to them.

Jesus said, in my name, they will lay hands on the sick and

they shall recover. You know, that means, that means

in my stead, in my place, in my behalf, doing it.

As if I was there myself, you lay your hands on him and my

name. And I'll step in and heal them

because you're representing me. And the Lord is trying to get

across this young man. Even the disciples are having a

little difficulty with it because they're attaching things

around here. And what they do with the

kingdom of God, and what the Lord is, trying to get them to

the places is, and he's saying those are just blessings of the

Kingdom. Those are just things I give you

to enjoy life work with you, but the true things that I have for

you. The kingdom of God, is the

relationship of walking with me, And knowing me and being a part

of me being a part of what I have and joining in with me to

bring the kingdom to others and having the joy of seeing lives

changed and harsh touch and said he shaking haleluya and so he's

ministering to the disciples here.

And so then he goes on, let's go down here and read again.

Verse 28, then Peter began to say to him.

We have left all and followed you We've left all followed you.

Now, a lot of times we take them we said well I've got to walk

away from everything I've got, I've got to give up my business

and go bit missionary someplace. Not unless the Lord told you to

Amen. Let's read it.

Let me bring it out to you. So, Jesus answered and said,

assuredly, I say to you. There is no one who has left

house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or

children or lands for my sake. And the gospels you did for my

sake in by 4:30 me and your commitment to me and the gospels

who shall not receive a hundredfold.

Now in this time houses and brothers and sisters and mothers

and children with lands and lands with persecutions and in

the age to come eternal life. Let's just sit like this, the

Lord Peter comes up to him and he says, Lord.

We have put everything we've got under your Authority.

Because they didn't leave their house.

Still had a house. Didn't leave their family, they

still had families. In fact, even after

Resurrection, Peter went fishing.

And and and that meant that I left my wife left, my kids left

my home and Stranded them just to go out and do things of God,

I would be wrong because the Bible teaches me that I'm to

love my wife and nurture. Her Bible teaches me time to be

a good parent to my children. Bible teaches me that I can't

even preach in the house of God, if I can't do that.

Know how to take care of my own home?

The Bible teaches me. If I don't take care of all

these things, I'm worse than an unbeliever.

So there's got to be something that's, that's missing here when

we say, I left house, and brother, and father, mother and

sisters brothers, and for your sake, and you'll receive 100

folder in this lifetime. Let's just sit like this.

Let's go back to the Rich Young Ruler.

What do you say? Take, and give everything you

got. And come follow me.

Lord, I make the commitment. That I will love you.

First more than I love my wife. I will love you first more than

I love my children. I love you first and more than I

love anything. I've got or anything that I'm

doing because see, if I love you more than I love my wife, then I

can love my wife. The way I'm supposed to.

Because then I'm going to cherish her and love her with

your love. And if I love my children after

I love you, then I'm going to be to them what you want me to be

and raise them up the way, they should be raised up and that's

what the Lord is saying. He say anything, you will

surrender to me and put me Lord over.

I'll make it a hundred times better than you could have if

you'd have done it yourself. I'm living proof folks.

I want to tell you something. Next few months bonding that

will celebrate 48 years, that we've been together.

Hallelujah. And we watch God, take us from

we didn't have anything when we came to the Lord.

I mean we you looked up the word poverty and have picture men

Bonnell beside Okay. We had very little of anything

and we just but but we had a commitment to the Lord Jesus

Christ that we were going to get it.

We didn't have a Bible with to go out and you heard start I use

S&H Green Stamps to get our first bible yet while y'all

don't know what it is. A Redemption story.

We found a Bible in a Redemption story.

I had a book of essays Green Stamps and took it and got us a

Bible That's first Bible. Whatever.

Wasn't raised to know anything in China.

I was raised to be a good person leaving God.

Amen. But we made a commitment to the

lordship of Jesus and when we first got married, we didn't do

much of anything. But I looked at her and I said,

we need to make this commitment to each other.

I said, You need to love me second and I need a love you.

S. You need love Jesus first.

And I needed love Jesus first because if Jesus is first in my

life than at put you in the position, you need to be in my

life and if and if I love and commit to Jesus first, then I

would have to break my walk with him before I could ever break my

commitment to you and I'm not going to break my commitment to

the Lord. Therefore you can trust me.

I'm never going to do you wrong. Tell me to do my wife wrong I

have to do my Lord wrong first and I'm not going to go against

my king. Amen.

And so we made that commitment and and in making that, praise

God. God has blessed us and prospered

us. And he's given us a hundred

times more than we could have ever experienced in our life.

If we did try to do it our own way.

The kingdom of God works. Because we have a benevolent

King who loves us and is touched by our infirmities.

And knows how to get us through those situations.

Praise God, and he's and, and what he's asking for us in this

hour, is to renew your commitment and consecration to

my lordship and my rule in your life because when you consecrate

everything, you've got into my hands, I'll make it better than

you could. And this is the thing to you

know, God blesses us with money and he started teaching me this

one. I went to Rhema We went to

Raymond, have anybody helping us.

And we went out there with no money, just enough to get the

first month paid for and get a rented, a, an apartment.

And so, you know, I was really needing some cash.

I walked into the front lobby there of the old Rooker,

Auditorium only had two buildings when I went there.

Hallelujah. But anyway, I walked in the

front lobby and somebody walked up and said praise the Lord

Brother Darryl I shook my hand and there's a twenty dollar

bill, the God is a good day. Hallelujah.

I stuck that twenty dollars in my pocket.

I got about 15 Steps. Heading towards the auditorium.

Somebody came as hey Darrell you got any money.

I went why and it was young lady said and I think her name was

Kate. Katie.

She yeah. She's about 20 dollars short of

having her tuition. We've raised up about except 20

you have any money and I still got my 20 in my hand in my

pocket. I'm thinking I was two steps

away from getting into the sanctuary.

Two steps away from my $20 been in my pocket Holly but

immediately my heart. I had that auction you.

So in her you give that's why I gave it to you.

Now I'm placed in the same position.

The Rich Young Ruler is in. Now, he may have had great

possessions but that $20 was a great possession at me at that

moment. And I've got a decision, do I

give it and trust my Lord and my king or do I keep it and trust

in me? Well thank God.

I made a commitment to the lordship of Jesus and I just

pulled that 20 out and I said I got 20, they grabbed out of my

hands at all. That's great.

You'll be able to stay in school.

She got to pay it today and they ran in and gave her the money

and I looked in and she's up there dancing and praising

crying. And I rejoiced I went in sit

down after the service. Got up went out.

Hallelujah. Got my car and said Lord how it

was so great, but how am I going to get gas to get home?

Hallelujah. And it wasn't too long after

that, somebody came up and bought me a tank a guess.

How they though, you and took care of me.

And from that time on, I learned something that the Rich Young

Ruler didn't learn the Lord, never was asking me to give up

something. He was asking me to put myself

in a position. To get something.

He was wanting me to operate under his lordship and not under

the lordship of the enemy who was stealing, killing and

destroying. And he wanted me to learn to

trust that I have a king that is trustworthy good and kind and

cares for me and he wants to get me through.

Amen and since then, thank God, we've been able to give a whole

lot more Hallelujah because every time the Lord asks we've

done it. God's asked us to do certain

things. We've done it.

Praise God. Have we done a perfectly?

I know, but we've committed ourselves to follow the king.

Amen. Now, look, something here in.

Verse 30, we really want to touch on this for the next few

moments is so help you Nosy, says who shall receive a

hundredfold. Now in this time, everybody say,

in this time, houses and brothers, sisters and mothers,

and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the age to

come eternal life. Notice that the Lord talks about

two different ages, This time. And the age to come.

You understand, you gotta understand some folks.

The kingdom of God is broken up into two ages.

An age is a designated period of time.

And right now, you and I are living in the age of blessing

with persecution. You understand.

Now there is a cut and all of this has been in response to

answer the question. What must I do to inherit

eternal life or what must I do to get over into the fullness of

the life of God. Amen.

And Jesus says, you've got to commit your whole life to me and

he got to do this and he says and here's what I will do even

in this present age, I will bring to you a hundred times

better than what you can have. But the difference is, in this

present age, you're going to get the blessing with persecution.

And somebody says, well, why are we getting blessed with

persecution? What do you mean the two

different ages you have the age to come, which is the millennial

age and then you have the age that's right now, let me show

you this age this right now. Real quick lations 1:4 glaciers

chapter one. Look what the Apostle says over

here. See you got to understand the

age that you're living in, and then you'll understand how to

ruin to have dominion as a king of under the king.

Praise God. Glaciers won't.

Listen. Let's begin.

Actually in verse 3 and we'll read the verse 5.

He says grace to you and peace from God, the father, and our

Lord Jesus Christ. Now listen, who gave himself for

our sins, that he might Deliver Us from this present, evil age,

according to the will of our God.

God and Father to him be glory forever and ever.

Amen. Notice that Paul calls this

present age and evil age? Well, women brother died.

I thought we were living in the kingdom of God.

And Jesus came and brought Redemption.

Yes, he did. I thought we were supposed to

rule and Reign. We are.

But have you never ruled the even and when you're under

attack, and whenever things are going south Paul writes to the

Romans and he says, all this stuff is going on, yet, in all

these things, we are more than conquerors through him.

That loved us. What's that mean?

You? And I need to wake up and

realize we are not living in the age to come yet.

We're not living in the millennial age, this age began

An with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ because in

Ephesians chapter 2, he says this that when we were even dead

Ephesians 2 · chapter mention

in sins and trespasses, God raised us up together with

Christ and seated Us in Heavenly places and brought Redemption to

us and that in the ages to come. We you know we he was chose His

blessings and and work in our lives.

Praise God. And so thank God.

Yes. We have been brought into the

kingdom age. But this age, you Got to

understand Galatians 3:13 and 14 says Christ hath redeemed us

Galatians 3:13

from the curse of the law and that right becoming a curse for

us for it is written. Cursed, is everyone who hangs on

a tree, why that The Blessing of Abraham might come upon the

Gentiles that we might receive the promise of the spirit

through faith? And then he brings it to the

reality of my living at vitally in verse 29, it says, and if you

be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs,

according to the promise. So even right now, we are

redeemed from the curse of the law but you need to understand

something though. We are redeemed from the curse

of the law. Jesus did not receive Jesus, did

not remove the curse from this age.

The curse of the Lost poverty sickness disease.

Are you listening to me? And all that stuff is still

here. Hebrews 2:14-15 says that Jesus

Hebrews 2:14–15

Christ took upon himself, the form of Flesh and Blood and came

and and through death destroyed him.

That had the power of death that is the devil.

So that those who were through fear of death were all their

lifetime subject, to bondage, could be delivered and set free.

Now, what's he mean? Destroyed him that had the power

of death. It means to render powerless or

take the authority away from. Jesus didn't do away with the

devil during this age. He still here.

Second Corinthians 4:4 says he still the God of this world and

2 Corinthians 4:4

he's blinding the minds of people that don't believe John

10. Jesus said in verse 10, he is

still the thief that's still in killing and destroying.

Amen. See a lot of times we get say,

we give her life to the Lord and we think everything's going to

be wonderful. And we're never going to have

another test or trouble or problem.

But in John 16, Jesus said, in verse 33 in this world, in this

time you're going to have test trials, tribulations, struggles

and troubles but be of good cheer.

I have overcome the world. I have deprived it of its right

to overcome you and defeat you. Hallelujah.

See, when we talk about ruling and reigning, you have to know

the age, you're living in. You need to understand.

They're still opposition here. Jesus didn't remove all this

wickedness. He delivered us from it.

Hallelujah. And so, you know, if you don't

understand this age and what we're living in then when some

bad thing happens in your life, you think you're missing it.

You think you're not worthy? You think you don't have enough

Faith. You think that you?

What were you getting those thoughts?

The same stinkin Thinkin thought.

Give her. The devil is still here and he

can't, he can't just come in and take you down.

He has to talk you into submitting and agreeing with him

first B25. Peter than say, he is a lion

that roams about, he says he Is like a roaring lion who roams

about? Many.

What his biggest his Roar is much more worse than his bite.

That's what Jesus said. Take no thought saying, take no

worries. Thank saying don't be anxious.

Why those are the things of this age?

And whenever you give and God starts blessing, you get ready

persecutions coming. Why?

Because the devil wants you to feel like something's wrong

because you're getting blessed. Are you hearing me?

We need to know this age. We need to understand this

segment of time that we're living in that we are still

living in a lost world. We're still living in a world.

Where the kingdom of darkness is here.

We're still living in a world where there's a devil and their

demon forces that's why in Ephesians 6.

He says, to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might

put on the whole armor of God, so that you can resist and stand

steadfast Against the Wild schemes and plans of the devil.

Amen. Then he As listen, don't get

caught up in, fighting flesh, and blood and war with people

and things in there that your problem for the weapons of our

Warfare are not Mighty. There are not carnal but they're

Mighty through God, to the pulling down of the strongholds

and he says, if we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but we

stand strong against principalities and powers and

rulers of darkness and wicked spirits.

And every High thing that's lifted up in heaven, as we bring

them down. Hallelujah?

Why? Because we are here to represent

the king of kings and Lord of lords and he gave us a

commission to take his kingdom and going to All the world and

change the nation's change people and deliver them from

this darkness. That the devil is trying to keep

them in and then he says in Hebrews, he says forsake, not

the assembling of yourselves. Why?

So you can be reminded every day that we're still living in a

loss. Dirty, stinking darkened world.

But we are delivered from all that dirty darkness and stinking

world. And we are to bring the Light of

Christ in the light of the kingdom of God, to all the

people and set her free. And so we come and exhort each

other and learn who we are in Christ and learn of the kingdom

of God and learn of our Authority and learn of the time

that we're living in. So that we walk out here, we are

not blind sided by some silly thing that the devil is trying

to defeat as well. Well, I got saved in this been

worse. Since I got safe.

Welcome to my world. The Lord didn't promise that

Rich Young Ruler Lord, he said follow me and to follow him.

What did the disciples do? They got?

They got persecuted. They got run out of towns.

I mean they had the same attacks against them that Jesus had

against himself. The Lord wasn't offering the

Rich. Young Ruler, a nice easy, Peezy

Weezy life. He was offering him a life

filled with authority and power that you could take losing

situations and turn them into victories that you could take

bad situations and turn them for good that you could walk in the

power of God, right? In the midst of all the attacks

of the enemy and walk right out of that fire, without being

singed. Touched A Hallelujah.

But you see, you have to understand this is the season

that we're living in. This is the time that we're

living in. But then here in over there, in

Luke's are marked 10:30 when the Lord continued on.

He said, you know, you're going to receive a hundredfold.

In other words, anything you put in my hands right now, even

though you've got an enemy that's resisting, you I'll make

it a hundred times better than you could have done without me.

I'll make your life a hundred times better.

How bless your family? I bless your home.

I'll bless the work of your hands.

You you sow and reap when everybody else is not. and when

they beat you and put you in jail, At midnight. when you

finally wake up and come to yourself, you look around and

say Jesus is still Lord less praising.

And right there, like Paul and Silas right there in that jab

midnight. You just start Prince, you'll

pray. And you'll praise why.

Because you know, the season, the time, the age of living in,

you know, what your purposes, you know, who you Lord Is, You

Know, Who You Came? Yeah, I've told this before,

but, you know, Paul and Silas, we're not praying to get out of

jail. No brother.

Don't, how can you say that? Well, I say that, because the

word says that No, no, yes, yes, read it.

And at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang, Praises unto

God. And the prisoners heard them.

And while they were singing and praising, God the Earth Shook,

and the jail doors opened, the chains fell off and the guard

came in. It was going to fall on his

sword because he was entrusted with the keeping them.

And Paul says, do yourself, no harm.

We're still here now. They've been praying to get out,

brother. I'm going to tell you what soon

is that jailed opened up and those change fellow?

Boom. You would have seen nothing, but

a trail of dust with me. Praise God, I'm heading to the

nearest boat at the nearest dock to get off of this island.

Hallelujah, amen. But they're still sitting there.

now, while they still sitting there because they understand

the season Asia lived in, but they also understand that Jesus

said follow me, Go sell all you have and follow me.

So when they came into the kingdom, they ceased living

their Kingdom, they ceased being Kings over their lives and they

met Jesus king and Lord of their lives.

They gave him full Rule and they're trusting him that even

though the enemies came in like a flood Lord, I believe that

you're turning this thing around and what the devil meant for

bad. You're going to turn for my good

and and Paul never forgot his purpose.

His purpose was to go. Do what Jesus said, I'm going to

send you, and you're going to establish the kingdom.

All over this place. You're going to preach to the

Gentiles. You're going to reach the

nation's you're going. And so he is he is established a

church. it's right there, ladies house already and if he'd ran

out of there, what kind of example that have been He

understood there's a greater purpose here than me having some

Comforts right now. The purpose is I was sent here

to stablish the kingdom of God. I'm here representing my king

and if I run out that's the image they're going to have of

him. So I'm going to turn this thing

around so he just put it in God's hands and started praising

the Lord for his victory. Lord, shut that place, delivered

him out of it and then he goes to the jailers house, gets him

and his family. Safe, he cleans him up the next

day he makes the authorities. Come and apologize to him before

he leaves. I'm going to show you that the

kingdom of God is greater than the kingdom of darkness.

When you College eyes to me, then I'll consider leaving the

town. He went from the bottom to the

top from the tail to the Head. Amen.

Why? Because anything you give to me,

I'll give it back to you a hundredfold in this life with

some persecutions. But then the age to come, you

don't have a lot of time to touch on the HTM.

What's the age to come? It begins in the millennial

reign. It begins the millennial Reign.

When we inherit the fullness of life, that that when we get

blessed, we don't get persecuted.

Because the persecutors locked up Romans to Revelation 20 says

in the bottomless pit, And so we enter into the fullness of time

age of the Millennium. Amen.

The age to come and thank God. But you know it's a great about

the age to come. Let me show you something.

Look in Ephesians chapter one real quick.

Hallelujah. And I don't want to take too

much time, but how many of give me two more minutes.

Pray, praise God. Let me quickly share this with

you. It'll help you praise God in

Ephesians chapter 1. The Apostle Paul is writing to

Ephesians 1 · chapter mention

the Church of Ephesus, gives them a prayer.

We're going to pick that prayer up down here in verse 17.

It says that the god of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of

Glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and Revelation

in the knowledge of him. God wants to have a revelation

of him. The eyes of your heart, your

understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the

hope of his calling, what is the riches of the glory of his

inheritance in the Saints and what is the exceeding greatness

of his power to Ward us who believe according to the working

of his mighty power? Which you worked in Christ when

he raised him from the dead, set him at his own right hand in the

Heavenly places far above all principality and power and might

and dominion. And every name that is named not

only in this age but also in that, which is to come Jesus is

Lord over all things in this age and in the age to come, but in

the age to come, there's going to be the fullness of life

without persecution. Somebody says, well, what does

that do for me? Now?

Hebrews chapter 6, and verse 5, or more closer with the

Hebrews 6 · chapter mention

scripture, I was going to quote it to you, but you need to read

it Hebrews. Chapter 6 and verse 5. and if

Hebrews 6 · chapter mention

you have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to

come, what's the powers of the age to come for healing for

deliverance for Prosperity, full Victory, full piece you over,

the Lord is saying to us, grab hold of this, even though, we're

living in this age. Now with persecutions where the

enemy still operating you and I can reach over into the age to

come. And when the sickness of this

age, tries to attack my body, I can reach over into the age of

to come and grab my healing. That's going to be full healing

and bring. Healing from the age to come

into the age. I'm in and receive my healing

from God. Hallelujah.

When the enemy comes in tries to steal my finances, I can reach

over into the age to come and grab my Prosperity.

That I'm going to have over and bring it into the age.

I'm in right now. Why?

Because I'm an ageless child of the Living.

God, I'm not restricted to ages. I'm living in this age but have

access to the next stage. Woo, Garita.

God. And when you get this Revelation

that you have access to the age to come, no wonder, you begin to

rule and reign as kings. And Priests on this earth right

now, no wonder your righteousness put you in a place

where you walk in your rights and Privileges and you walk and

tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power

of the enemy. No wonder your prayer moves

mountains and Shake cities and changes lives and delivers

people. No wonder when you pray and

agree with your wife, it comes to pass in your life.

No wonder when you shot him. Praise God.

Walls come down. Victories release angels dance.

Hallelujah. What?

Because you're stepping over into the age to come?

When Jesus has set his throne upon the Earth and he's ruling

and reigning with this? Hallelujah.

To Asia's the one Kingdom. And you and I have been given

access. To both ages.

Oh, Glory to God. So don't think it strange.

When you get persecuted tested or trial, just reach over into

these to come and grab the power.

God bring it right in your situation and drive that enemy

off. Amen.

Come on. Stand with me.

Praise God. Hallelujah.
