-
Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
-
from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now, enjoy this message. So I preach the whole Bible last
-
night that way. Any other minister that
-
ministers? You'll think that they got their
-
messages for me. I'm kidding.
-
Hey man, it was so good. Now I'm if you weren't here this
-
morning, we had some heavy hitting messages this morning,
-
Pastor Roman tore up the platform, set it on fire, Pastor
-
Mark you know caps just tearing this thing down about being born
-
again man, what it really means. In the realm of the Kingdom.
-
Pastor Marcy's, taking us places in prayer, man.
-
I'm telling you, it's amazing and they really prepare us.
-
In fact, it was actually at our kingdom rise conference.
-
We did, I think it was in Fort Walton Beach is where we did
-
this. Where we put pastor Marcy in
-
that prayer section or was it Valdosta was Valdosta with
-
Pastor Mark and when that happened those night sessions
-
went to another level where like man this is too good and then I
-
realized why Pastor Hagen And Pastor Lynette had has her doing
-
prayer and then he does because it takes us to another level.
-
And so I'm like, man, I get it now.
-
Let's let's do this. And, you know, so we're doing
-
the we're getting teaching but then we're participating through
-
our prayer and we're getting unction by the spirit.
-
It's amazing, you know, we just want what God wants at the end
-
of the day. We're not here to be impressive.
-
We're not here to entertain. We're not here for you to like
-
us, we're here to deliver what the King has to say, and that's
-
the most important thing. So, at the end of the day,
-
that's our goal. So we're talking about the
-
Diplomat, amen. Now we're going to really start
-
kind of tear and some things down tonight.
-
It'll get in its climax, Nick tomorrow night you.
-
So, we're gonna have to address some things in order to get to
-
that place but I want to hit some scriptures.
-
I said last night and I've added a couple because I want to
-
leave, no doubt concerning this thought, right?
-
Say, No Doubt. Owl.
-
Come on say no doubt. Now I remember one funny little
-
story. When I youth pastor in San
-
spring. All let me say this East Coast
-
nutrition. Would you stand up East Coast
-
nutrition? Both of y'all stand up.
-
East Coast nutrition. Oh, that's in our Mall here.
-
They are going to do a discount. If you're doing coming to
-
Kingdom rise, if you go by, let them know.
-
They'll give you a discount on getting one of their drinks or
-
something, right? I must what was it?
-
10, 15 percent, 100%. No, I'm just kidding.
-
Just go by and see them. So you just let them know you're
-
at Kingdom, rise, and they'll be a blessing to you.
-
Amen. This is the kind of Partnerships
-
we want, right? You want to be at a make an
-
impact. Spiritually that even businesses
-
say man you know, if you send people by will do this, it's
-
happened with Raymond. When you go to camp meeting
-
their businesses. When they realized Ramos having
-
are like you, let your people know because it's to our
-
advantage to be a blessing to them because it helps us
-
ultimately and I'm thankful for that God will honor that
-
tremendously but we want to leave no doubt.
-
When I was in Youth Ministry and Sand Springs, Oklahoma was the
-
youth pastor and the youth ministry.
-
Called The Depot and I use scripture Joshua claims that
-
true. Did I not use a lot of
-
scripture, right? Meredith Marcus which, you know,
-
okay, the apartment I use a lot of scripture, all right?
-
I mean I would use scripture and again, My Philosophy was, I
-
don't care. They're teenagers.
-
They are Spirit beings. Right?
-
And so their Spirit Man's Alive, and what they need is the word.
-
Well, when I left to come here, another youth pastor. came in
-
and when they saw my messages, okay, they said to some of the
-
students, there's no way that this that he could have
-
preached, those messages and kept the team's attended
-
attention of which Joshua. And I think Todd said, oh yeah,
-
it happened it happened. Because when you're anointed and
-
you only want them to get God and not you, then it's amazing
-
how the attention can stay, right?
-
Because at the end of the day, I knew I would pastor and I would
-
not be in Sand Springs Oklahoma with that group and so I wanted
-
to leave them Jesus not me right.
-
You know, I wanted to be having him influence in their life, but
-
at the end of the day, I wanted them to be a follower of Jesus,
-
not a follower of Earl glisten because if you're following me,
-
then you're in trouble. Alright, so here tonight, we
-
want to leave, no doubt, that's why we bring so much scripture
-
called, we want you to follow Jesus.
-
All right, so again, we're talking about the Diplomat John.
-
US 49 to 50. Jesus said for I have not spoken
-
of my own authority but the father who sent me gave me a
-
command of what I should say and what I should speak and I know
-
that his commandment is everlasting life.
-
Do you know his commandment is everlasting life?
-
Let me need that Revelation. I mean, when he talks that's
-
life, Again, Pastor Ramon Ramon was on fire today.
-
He said look faith and obedience go together at the end of day of
-
God says something, you've got to obey that if you're not
-
obeying that you are in Disobedience and that is in awe,
-
by All rights in to take your opinion on how to deal with that
-
matter, is sinful. Ungodly if that is unrighteous.
-
Period. And you can't expect God to
-
bless your opinion. They meant.
-
All right. Well praise the Lord anyway.
-
Therefore whatever I speak. Whatever I speak.
-
Just as the father has told me so I speak.
-
So Jesus did not come with his own idea.
-
He didn't bring his opinion to the table.
-
Right? We're saying this, because in
-
the context, Out of Diplomat, the first definition associated
-
with the Diplomat, which means you're going to be diplomatic,
-
is exactly reproducing. The original, which is very
-
interesting, you know, definition and it's not foreign,
-
it's just typically you don't hear that.
-
But it's, the reality is, is that I'm actually representing
-
the one who sent me, and I'm going to be an exact replication
-
of that. So, in essence, as in essence,
-
when you see me, you seen the one Who sent me?
-
That's the goal and Jesus did that, okay?
-
So and we're going to see this in multiple scriptures because
-
again if you call Jesus, Lord, right, it's amazing.
-
We want to follow Jesus example, on laying hands on the sick.
-
We want to follow Jesus example of casting out Devils.
-
You know, how many people really are lusting after being like
-
Jesus in the realm of the miraculous?
-
But they don't want to follow Jesus in forgiveness, nor they
-
want to follow Jesus. And the reason why Jesus could
-
be miraculous is because the first thing he did good or did.
-
And only did is I don't say what I want to.
-
I only Say what I hear? Why don't we follow him that
-
way? Well, we're following Jesus.
-
So we're going to be a good part.
-
That's, that's not following Jesus.
-
Following Jesus is doing it. How Jesus did.
-
And how did Jesus do it? I don't speak on my own
-
initiative. But only what the father says.
-
It's Pastor Mark said in the morning session, when dr.
-
Myles Munroe, came. And what 1991's you say, ninety
-
one ninety. Something like that.
-
He came to the United States from the Bahamas.
-
Now, he had experience because they were under British rule and
-
when he was a child, the queen would come to her Island and
-
they would line up on the street to see the king, the queen, they
-
were under a monarch and they would sing praises and honor and
-
and Is the royalty of this this in essence, kingship.
-
So when God revealed to him, that the Bible is about a king.
-
It's no religion at all. Well then it was easy
-
transition, but when he came to United States, He said Lord the
-
u.s. u.s. citizens are not going to receive this because they
-
have too much allegiance to Independence, right?
-
We got to hold a set of what side for July 4th is what
-
Independence Day, you know, and we are under a we're in the
-
Democratic Republic. Eric but we think we're just a
-
democracy. We have the freedoms and Liberty
-
to say, say what we want to do, cast our opinions.
-
We don't like what you do, we can say it.
-
So we're so used to just speaking our minds.
-
Well, you don't speak your mind at the kit in the Kingdom.
-
Now you can tell Jesus what you think, but at the end of the
-
day, he's going to come back and say.
-
But this is the word, right? I mean you can have an opinion
-
in the Kingdom. It's just not going to be
-
followed. I said it's not going to be
-
followed, okay? And so if you're going to be
-
effective, then you have to respond like our King and our
-
Kings. Like I'm always listening before
-
I'm talking, did James follow? That's all process.
-
He said be quick to hear why, so you won't say something you
-
shouldn't be saying because if you're not quick to hear, but
-
you're quick to speak, quick to hear slow to write because most
-
of us are just quick to speak. Hello to here which means we say
-
stuff that we wish we could catch right?
-
Or once we say it. Then we get prideful that we're
-
not going to take it back. Because it really is saying how
-
we feel about it but it seems like I don't care how you feel.
-
And I don't care what you think about it.
-
It is written, right? And if you don't side with him,
-
which is what repent means, which is why Jesus starts his
-
ministry with the word, repent. Change your thinking side with
-
my party. Take up my thoughts.
-
Amen. My thoughts are higher than your
-
thoughts, but there they are. Also obtainable Right?
-
My ways are higher than your ways but they are obtainable and
-
you get them by seeking and then once I say it, then you are to
-
say that and conform to it, I say conform to it, let me say
-
this because this is a leadership lesson that a lot of
-
people get wrong, okay? They say you don't know that,
-
you know, you're really not as submission until you don't agree
-
with someone but do it anyway. That is not true.
-
There is a not agreeing that can take place and most likely will
-
meaning the Lord says do this and you're like, I don't want to
-
do that, right? So we're in disagreement, but
-
I'm going to do your will. Now the minute that takes place,
-
you can't do it without agreement because if you are
-
doing what he says, even though I don't want to do it, and we
-
have that Attitude with us, I'm doing it anyway, but I don't
-
want to. So I'm showing that I'm truly
-
submitted will, then you can't be in faith because faith is a
-
perm persuasion of what God has said.
-
So for you to have the attitude, well, I'm gonna do it anyway but
-
I want to you fall into the Trap that brother Hagin had when he
-
went out on the road to teach his people faith.
-
And after a year, he's not better off than what he was when
-
he was a pastor and he goes to the Lord, he says, Lord, now we
-
got to talk. Because your word says that if
-
you're willing and obedient you eat the good of the land and I'm
-
not having it and the Lord says you don't qualify.
-
He's so what do you mean? He says you were obedient.
-
Which means what did he do? He dropped his.
-
What his tetanus. He did, drop his will, he
-
dropped? He disagree with God.
-
I rather pastor but you're telling me to go and I'm gonna
-
do it. So he was all here going.
-
I'm doing it, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
-
And it seemed like your submitted but he wasn't willing.
-
The Lord says you're old, you are obedient but you weren't
-
willing and that's where brother Hagin comes back.
-
And says, don't tell me it takes long to be willing to serve out
-
10 seconds. Now once he says, I totally
-
agree with what you say about me.
-
No, I'm not just obediently about it.
-
I'm firmly persuaded, it's the only way and I'm in full
-
agreement with your We'll now. That is true submission.
-
So instead what you're not really cement if you agree with
-
it. Boy I'm really submitted to God
-
because I really agree with him. You hear what I'm saying?
-
I really agree with him and he really don't take me long to let
-
go of my way. It doesn't why cause he has
-
eternal life. As Jesus, said, your commands
-
are eternal life. So Jesus does speak on his own.
-
It's what he hears. John 5:30 says, I can of my own
-
self do do, what? Geez do anything it wants to
-
barely not I said, apparently not.
-
All right. Well, praise the Lord.
-
He said I can't, I can't have my own self do nothing as I hear.
-
Why do you think you can do something?
-
Why are you going to be so prideful?
-
Think you can do something. I mean, let's just think about
-
it for a moment because again, we what when I start talking
-
Diplomat, it ain't gonna matter, if you can't get these for few
-
verses. Now I'm not saying you're doing,
-
I'm just, let's think the whole reason we're in Kingdom.
-
Rise is a, let's raise us rise to the level of Kingdom citizens
-
that we reproduce and exact original in the earth.
-
That people literally are saying, they've been with Jesus
-
because they act just like, Like them to where even the heathens
-
would call us Christians. Because that's where the term
-
came from from Antioch. The Heathen recognize these
-
people are Chris. They're like right there doing
-
the same worse, Christ, did what we've heard?
-
Christ done has done, right? Because they were actual
-
disciples and disciples. Keep the command.
-
If you're a disciple, you keep the command and you when you
-
keep the command, you're actually.
-
Showing you love God. So don't tell me.
-
You love God and don't keep his word.
-
It's a lie. You're being deceived.
-
You found a little place in your mind.
-
That is deception because you cannot be loving God outside of
-
obeying. His word, does it work?
-
Okay. So again, we cannot do anything
-
without hearing from the Lord, right?
-
He says, as I hear I judge and my judgment is just because I
-
seek not my own will So at the end of the day, I'm not trying
-
to convince God to do it my way. You know, how many people's
-
prayer lives sound like that? You know how many saints come to
-
pastors and try to convince them to do it.
-
Their way, how they think the church should be ran, you're not
-
the head of the church. So I'm not obligated take your
-
cues right now. If you tell me something it
-
comes up my spirit was like I gave him that idea and I'm like
-
that's it. That's a holy ghost idea, the
-
Lord done, I can take that. But you know, I'm just not
-
listening. Because again, I'm not seeking
-
my own will I'm not seeking my own will Jesus, didn't seek his
-
own will, but the will of the, which tells me Jesus had a will
-
that he had access to outside of the father. he said by the will
-
of father that sent me, John 14 10 third verse Do you not
-
believe that I am in the father? And the father is in me the
-
words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own authority
-
but the father who dwells in me, does the work.
-
So again, I'm not saying on my authority.
-
And as Jesus, Lord, is Jesus king.
-
But he's not speaking on his own authority.
-
I said he's not doing it. Amen.
-
John 6:38 for I have come down from heaven not to do my own.
-
Will, but the will of him who sent me now is this, the Son of
-
God come on? Is this the Son of God is this?
-
The Son of God. So, if he came out of Heaven not
-
to do his own will, but only do what the father, then.
-
Why would we ever want to live on the earth any other way?
-
And this is a challenge in the u.s. church because we want to
-
do Church our way which is really religion because religion
-
is me telling God how to accept me.
-
That's what it is. And it can actually use God's
-
word to try to manipulate God. That's what the Pharisees tried
-
to do. They tried to manipulate the
-
situation with God's word but that he would correct that.
-
I said he would correct that. So again you we've got to get it
-
where we are passion and every day to say it's not my will it's
-
not for me to do my. Well I'm not seeking my own
-
well, I'm only seeking the will of my father.
-
I'm only seeking the will of my father.
-
I'm only seeking the will of my father.
-
All I want to do is seek the will of my father.
-
Are you want to have great success in?
-
Life is very simple, just seek the will of your father, when
-
you hear it act on it, do it and it's good and you'll be
-
successful. It brought me doesn't mean you
-
won't be free from conflict, but you'll actually go through every
-
conflict. He gave, oh, you all through the
-
valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil.
-
Why? Because the Lord is with you and
-
you'll go right through it, you'll get to the other side.
-
He always delivers the righteous out of all their trouble and you
-
can laugh while you're In it because when you feel like
-
crying you can say I'm not crying.
-
Right? And when you started to shed a
-
few tears, you say I need to get these tears out, and get some
-
Joy. Because the joy of the Lord is
-
my strength because I have access to the will of my father,
-
would be to do something different and we find out what
-
it is and respond. So I've come down from heaven,
-
not to do my own will, but to do the will of him who sent me.
-
It's amazing. We want to come into God's
-
kingdom and keep doing what we want to do.
-
Save me but let me do what I want to do, but that salvation
-
requires something different. All those who call on the name
-
of the Lord means what supreme authority.
-
So really truly being born. Again means I check my will out
-
the door at across and once I came in, I don't even let that
-
thing. I don't seek it anymore.
-
What do you want to do, Lord? How do you want to do it?
-
How do you want to do it? What do you want me to do?
-
How do you want me to respond? What do want me to say, I'm
-
seeking it, I'm looking for it. I need yours, right.
-
Okay. John 8 2829 where one, two,
-
three, four, five, the latter part says, and I do nothing on
-
my own initiative. I do nothing on my own
-
initiative, but I speak these things.
-
As the father has taught me and he who sent me is with me, he
-
has not left me alone. For I always do the things.
-
That are pleasing to him. Amen.
-
Yeah, the reason why sometimes you feel disconnected from God
-
is because you're trying to convince God to do.
-
Your will Faith exists in his? Will he says, I'm always doing
-
the things that's pleasing to him.
-
Well, how do you please God with faith?
-
Because without faith, it's impossible to please him.
-
You understand. Love is a constant thing, but
-
God can be not pleasing with a lot of his kids because of his
-
kids are not living by By faith and walking by faith and you
-
cannot live by faith in walk by faith, according to God's design
-
without hearing his word. You can walk by the faith of
-
other voices, but God's not in that.
-
And you'll feel absent from God and you'll be begging God to be
-
blessing, your own will or someone else's will for your
-
life. So I always tell parents the
-
worst thing you can do is tell your kids, they can be anything
-
they want to be or tell them what they're going to be.
-
The best thing you can do is I'm here to help you hear the voice
-
of God. So you can do exactly what he's
-
Destin you to do. So don't think that your child
-
has to take over your business. Don't think your child has to go
-
to college. To be successful.
-
Oh no, you're going to go to university.
-
Right. You can send your child Straight
-
to Hell. Because you push it on me into a
-
places that aren't even the will of God for their lives because
-
you want to see some paper. Say, there's something I mean,
-
let this paper the word of God, say something to him.
-
Hey, we know the author of that one.
-
I don't know the background of the president that signing on
-
universities. All right.
-
How about one more? 1 2 3. 4 5 6, John 5:19.
-
Therefore Jesus answered saying to them truly truly I say to
-
you. The son can do nothing of
-
himself unless it's something. He sees the father doing for
-
whatever the father does these things.
-
The son also does in like manner.
-
Wow. I mean have we not nailed this
-
idea down that if we are really saying we are followers of Jesus
-
Christ, then we have to be admitting that.
-
The first thing to follow him is to quit.
-
Seeking my will and quit. Quit seeking my way and only
-
seek the will of the father and when I find that will, that's
-
all I say and that's all I do. That's how it works.
-
That's how it works. Now, with that being said, the
-
Lord dropped this in my spirit, just before I walked into
-
service concerning this issue because I had never seen it this
-
way before, but he liked, drop this in my spirit and I'm like,
-
wow! So turn over to Matthew 18,
-
Matthew 18, while doing all right.
-
Amen. Look what it says here.
-
I'm going to read out the past and translation because it's
-
really powerful. All right and it says at that
-
time, the disciples came and asked Jesus who is considered to
-
be the greatest in Heavens Kingdom realm.
-
Well who's that answer? Who is the greatest?
-
What's his name? Jesus, I mean, I think that's
-
pretty easy for us to recognize. He's the name above, every name
-
is Jesus. Not the greatest.
-
I said, he's the greatest, he is the greatest.
-
All right. Now he's going to tell them how
-
greatness is obtained. Which means then if Jesus is the
-
greatest and we know he has, because he's been given the name
-
above every name. Then that must mean, he's
-
modeling that which he's fixing to communicate.
-
Are you hearing me? He's modeling that which he's
-
fixing to communicate he goes and then says this verse through
-
Jesus called a little one. A little one.
-
Leo, your son that I taught you last night, come up here.
-
He called a little one. Come on.
-
Come here. Sit right here.
-
So he called a little one to Assad and said to them.
-
All right. He said learn this well unless
-
you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable
-
and learn about Heavens, Kingdom realm with a wide-open Wanderer
-
of a of a child. You will never be able to enter
-
in. Now, what a child's children do
-
notice in just? As example, I said Leo, which is
-
the father's name. Send your son over to me, right?
-
That, I talked to you last night.
-
The father said to the sun, go to him.
-
What did the child do? I don't feel like it.
-
Don't tell me what to do. You said my brother.
-
Now, adults taught like that. First of all, he wasn't
-
intimidated, he's going to be in front of you right now.
-
Here he is, came down and obedience.
-
Right here hanging out. Chillaxing.
-
Is that a real word there? Let's go on.
-
Stay with me whoever continually humbles himself.
-
To become like this. Gentle child is the greatest one
-
in Heavens Kingdom round. Stand up with me.
-
We'll go to let him. See you again, right?
-
Right. And if you tenderly care for
-
this little one, but, you know, he's pretty tall.
-
I could have brought a baby upright.
-
On my behalf, you are tentatively caring for me.
-
But if anyone what abuses one of these little ones who believe in
-
me, it would be better for him to have a heavy Boulder.
-
Tied around his neck. Be hurled into the deepest sea
-
than to face the punishment. He deserves, you can be seated.
-
Thank you. What is this scripture saying
-
the scripture saying Jesus said, this, if you cause one of these,
-
to stumble, the word stumbled, Is to entice to sin.
-
So what he's saying is a child, you got to be like a child, and
-
Jesus is saying I'm, he's the greatest.
-
What did he just what? It was, six verses.
-
Did we just read? I'm the Sun and I only do what?
-
So, when Dad says go, I'm gone. Yes, sir.
-
Dad says come? Yes, sir.
-
How do we know he did that? Because what did he say about
-
the greatest Faith ever exhibited?
-
Was the Centurion. Just speak the word only.
-
Because I'm a man under Authority and man in Authority.
-
When I tell my servant to go, he goes on to tell him to come.
-
Come, when I tell him to do this, he doesn't Jesus.
-
Say about, I've not seen such great faith, not in all of
-
Israel, because that's how I respond to my father.
-
My father says, go lay hands on them, I lay hands on them.
-
And God says, his father says to say this, I say that when God
-
says to, let that go, I let that go.
-
When God says to communicate here, I do that when God said, I
-
just do what my dad says, you know, and I'm not challenging,
-
my dad's Authority. I'm not rebellious to my
-
father's word and he said, unless you stay like a child
-
that is easy, you know, because when they're younger, man,
-
they're wide open and you say, hey, come here and you do this,
-
why it's damaging? When you try to have your
-
children, do things that can hurt them because it it breaks
-
their trust. So he says you called one of
-
these little ones. And stumble, meaning you're
-
trying to break their trust to hear me.
-
And entice them to do something. I didn't say it's better if you
-
put a millstone around your neck.
-
Because you deserve punishment because you're trying to get
-
someone to not do what I say. This is why Jesus said, I only
-
do what the father says. So, how do you handle the devil?
-
It is written. It is written.
-
I'm only gonna tell you what Dad said, It is written.
-
It is written. Are you hearing me?
-
So we then understand this in the realm of being a diplomat
-
you're employed or skilled in diplomacy meaning that you are
-
negotiating between nations which means you can't even go
-
out and about and start talking to people about the kingdom.
-
If you're not hearing from the king, and the reason why we
-
have, Legion Around Jesus. It's because we have self-willed
-
saints. That are talking on their
-
behalf. And not on the father's behalf.
-
And many are doing it because of selfish ambition.
-
They want to be known They want popularity.
-
They want to be the next great ministry.
-
They want all the, they want the followers.
-
Instead of communicating who they should follow, are you
-
hearing me? So why Jesus says seek first
-
the, what the kingdom seek the kingdom first.
-
And his righteousness means right standing with the
-
governing Authority. His way of doing things.
-
When we're seeking the kingdom or saying, father was sure will
-
wash your will close this whole Kingdom Rises to help, raise up
-
us and all, who will hear this on how to be great diplomats in
-
the last days because here's the thing.
-
If you can't have an ear to hear your father, And do it like a
-
child. Then you will not have
-
diplomacy. And more importantly, you will
-
not fulfill the position he appointed you for, and that is
-
an ambassador, you cannot operate as a diplomat.
-
If you do not understand the role of an ambassador, and God
-
makes us or places us as ambassadors, rot.
-
Okay. Now, why would we be an
-
ambassador? Well, Jesus said in Matthew
-
16:18, when he Asked, you know, during the sixteenth chapter, he
-
said, who do people say that I am and they said, well, some say
-
your Jeremiah, some say, you're Elijah some say you to profit,
-
okay? So that's what the world says
-
about me. So what may be the religious say
-
about me but what do you say? Because at the end of the day
-
who, you know, as Jesus is it based upon what people are
-
saying or is it your own? Is it a revelation that you've
-
received from the father? Jesus said, you're the Christ,
-
he Flesh and blood has not revealed that to you but my what
-
means you heard what my father says.
-
And now you're declaring, you're only saying what you heard.
-
Dad said about me, are you hearing me?
-
So again, don't let other ministers.
-
Try to tell you who Jesus is. Don't let your co-workers try to
-
tell you who Jesus is. You need to find out who Jesus
-
is for yourself because even when I show you accurately, Who
-
Jesus is you still have to have the Revelation yourself.
-
You know, how many people are saying, Jesus Christ?
-
And have no concept of what Christ even means at all?
-
They don't know. That's the Eternal King.
-
They have no idea. They're definitely not bow.
-
On their knee on a day-to-day. They're just waiting for the
-
exit waiting for heaven. Waiting to go to heaven all bad
-
at stuff down here. Can't wait to go to heaven.
-
Golly, I can't wait to go to heaven.
-
Can't wait to go to heaven, it's tough.
-
Good news is at least, I'm gone. You know?
-
You could go to right? And he, I mean, think about
-
that. What does that?
-
What if our our president moved ambassadors all over the
-
country, all over the world in other nations that are like,
-
man, we just can't wait to die. What would that sound like?
-
To the other leaders. I don't mean we just you know we
-
just want to die. Right there in their little
-
embassies and they're going out and saying, hey man, you know,
-
can you help us with some food? You know, my I had had an oil
-
change with our vehicle in a while.
-
You know, can you help us? I mean, think about it for a
-
moment. None of our embassies and
-
ambassadors. Are having challenge it begging.
-
The other nations to help them out.
-
Well, I'm just a sinner saved by grace the ice in every day.
-
Just like you. It's just, I'm going to heaven.
-
That's not an ambassador. Ambassadors.
-
Don't talk like that. At like that.
-
Walk like that. Ambassadors look around and say,
-
phew. Thank God, I'm not in this
-
nation, not a part of this nation.
-
Now, there may be some that wish they were part of that Nation
-
because Lana, glad they're in another Nation as an ambassador
-
because the one they're from is not great, I get that.
-
But you understand, we are part of the greatest nation, the only
-
nation that will stay. It's the kingdom of God, and our
-
dad owns the planet. And the only reason this becomes
-
a problem, it only becomes a problem to the religious because
-
they'd much rather maintain their mind, their mentality of
-
their sinful life and what they came out of, instead of moving
-
over into their new creation, life, and realize that God has
-
made them at the child of a king and he sets his King up in
-
foreign territory and gives him all the resources necessary to
-
be able to do his kingdom assignment.
-
Well, we don't deserve it. That's irrelevant.
-
Think about what Ambassador right now, deserves anything
-
they have from the United States, they're appointed by the
-
president. Why do they deserve the car?
-
That they're in the house that they live in the, the
-
chauffeur's, the, the body got? Why did they deserve?
-
That is part of the appointment. I mean their education to give
-
them that. They don't deserve it by Merit.
-
They get it because they're appointed.
-
Just because of appointment and has got a pony Jew, man.
-
Please don't have low self-esteem.
-
Anyway, Jesus said, listen, it's upon the Revelation that I am
-
the Christ. I'm going to build my church.
-
The Passion says it this way, in Matthew 16:18 because it's
-
really good. He says, I give you the name
-
Peter a stone and this truth, which is he is the Christ of
-
whom. I will be, the Bedrock will be
-
the Bedrock foundation, on which I will build my church.
-
What is this church mile? Legislative assembly and the
-
power of death will not overpower it.
-
So in essence there is the embassy that is the church by
-
which all the ambassadors come to.
-
So that they can hear from the home country on how to affect
-
the territory. They are assigned to So the
-
kingdom Ambassador principle is this an ambassador speaks for
-
the kingdom and does not represent themselves.
-
Only the kingdom, and Ambassador is the Kings eight kingdoms
-
Agency for conveying, its will desires and purposes in the
-
territory to which he, or she is assigned.
-
Do you get that? So, it's our assignment to
-
convey the kingdoms will. It's desires and purposes in the
-
territory, to which he, or she is designed, are you hearing me?
-
Do you know, we have the task as ambassadors to topple
-
governments? Yeah, it's shot.
-
That we are tried. We don't topple governments,
-
through Flesh and Blood. We topple governments by tearing
-
down principalities and Powers by binding and loosening.
-
Amen. We can bind principalities and
-
Powers. They are the true force behind
-
human activity in government. And the reality is, is most of
-
the Saints. Ambassador are God's
-
ambassador's aren't being very diplomatic on how they're
-
handling the territories. They've been Assad, they're not
-
functioning properly and and diplomacy.
-
And I'm going to show you Case by case study tomorrow diplomacy
-
by Jesus and maybe a few others. Of how they interacted in
-
situations. Because at the end of the day
-
when I interact with the territory, I'm a sign which will
-
include people because the nation's by All rights is not
-
land is people Then I only responded them as my father
-
Wills. All right, so are we
-
ambassadors? Just so you know, biblically we
-
are. Let's look at the scriptures
-
that call us that Ephesians 6:18 and 20 says, with all prayer and
-
petition, pray at all times in the spirit and with this mu be
-
on alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
-
and pray on my behalf that utterance may be given to me in
-
the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness.
-
The Mystery of the gospel for which I am an, what is he an
-
ambassador? He was in Chains.
-
Okay, he was in prison but he's an ambassador nonetheless, amen.
-
And the home country can negotiate the release of an
-
ambassador. If they are Thrown in jail.
-
They do it. A few ways, they can do it
-
through negotiation or they can do it by force.
-
All right, Peter was in Chains. And the Home Country went with
-
special forces to break him out of prison.
-
Right, the angel slipped in tap her on the shoulder and said I
-
get up. Get up man, we got to go yeah
-
the home country is set to deliver the Ambassador opens the
-
door. Carries him out, walks out.
-
He thinks he's sleeping and dreaming the whole time but yet
-
this is an invasion. From the Home Country, he didn't
-
send another human. Oh, He sent an angel.
-
To deliver the Ambassador. Wow.
-
It would Peter and Silas didn't send Special Forces.
-
But had another approach. Okay.
-
Yeah, it's diplomacy. It's being able to deal with
-
things, the way God wants you to deal with him.
-
All right, let's look at 2nd Corinthians. 5:18 to 20, he
-
says, it's now all these things are from God, who reconciled us
-
through himself, through Christ, who gave us the ministry of
-
reconciliation, namely that God was in Christ.
-
Reconciling the world to himself not counting their trespasses
-
against them and he committed to us the word of reconciliation
-
now. Remember like before I read
-
verse 21 of the definitions, Of diplomacy.
-
Okay? Was the art and practice of
-
conducting negotiations between nations employing, tact and
-
conciliation. Alright, especially in
-
situations of stress. Well, reconciliation means,
-
there has been a break in relationship and the kingdom is
-
trying to re-establish relations peaceful relationship.
-
So that's what the Ambassador does.
-
We have been given the ministry of bringing the relationship
-
back at peace with our home country.
-
Right. Okay verse 20.
-
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ as though God as though
-
who were making an appeal. How Through us.
-
In essence, we are the ones negotiating in the Earth on
-
behalf of the king. He has sent us to do it.
-
I said he has sent us to do it. So an ambassador by definition
-
is an official representative in any country by the government to
-
serve as official duties by his own country in a foreign
-
territory. Jesus said, I am not of this
-
world as they're not of this world.
-
Right by All rights, we are in foreign territory.
-
Because of the God of this world and he's placed us to Hmong a
-
nation, that's not holy. If hostile.
-
It's always breathing threats of War, right?
-
It's always at opposition. Against the kingdom, amen.
-
I mean it's trying to always eradicate the Kingdom on the
-
earth. Hallelujah, but our King has
-
sent us to restore peace. And diplomacy is how we do it.
-
We have to be diplomatic in essence.
-
We are the Diplomat. Are you hearing me?
-
This is not religious stuff. This is government stuff and
-
this is what we're in. So it goes on and says he all is
-
also there or she to build a friendly environment between the
-
two countries. In fact, the Lord said through
-
the Apostle, he said, be at peace with all men as far as you
-
can be. So, there are ways.
-
We're going to interact with the world, for the sake of Peace.
-
Even if we do not win them, Get them to defect or move their
-
citizenship over. Are you hearing me as Christ's
-
ambassadors? We represent the kingdom
-
government of God. Look what it says.
-
In Proverbs 13 17, the Amplified says that this way, a wicked
-
messenger falls into evil but a faithful Ambassador brings
-
healing. What do we do?
-
We bring healing. So when you now here's the
-
thing, when you meet an ambassador, we are meeting more
-
than just a person. We meet a nation.
-
So, you got a quit calling yourself by your own name.
-
You're not an individual anymore.
-
You're you have individual skills, but you can never look
-
at yourself as an isolated person.
-
Because the minute you do that, you'll no longer be making
-
choices that only benefit. You. because as an ambassador,
-
you represent a nation and you gotta understand when you're
-
talking to the world, the kingdom is there.
-
You have to see that if you only see think it's you, then you're
-
nothing because you don't know your Sami, you don't know who
-
you are. You got to know when I walked in
-
the room. The kingdom of God just walked
-
in the room. The kingdom of God just walked
-
in the room. A whole nation.
-
A holy one. I said a holy one, one that's
-
doing a global takeover just walked into the haircutting,
-
place just walked into the grocery store just walked into
-
work. Just walked into my house.
-
Walked into my family reunions right at the end of day.
-
I don't represent this family natural.
-
I represent the kingdom and I'm not going to sell out to Kingdom
-
for your last name. My people are Kingdom people.
-
The whole nation comes with me and I'm not going to compromise
-
that, because when you met me, you met a nation?
-
I said you met a nation which means I don't I'll have my own
-
opinion, why cause at an ambassador, whatever area over,
-
which the authority of a government rest becomes that
-
government's property. Now, we know, just naturally,
-
and I've been to many countries and I've seen I've seen
-
embassies another countries when I went to Haiti.
-
Haiti is a rough place. It's rough, it's rough.
-
Okay, I mean really, it's a pretty good-sized garbage dump.
-
Because of the belief system. Now, I'm not saying the people,
-
I'm just saying that the country's pretty trashy, but
-
man, when you go by the u.s. embassy, there's grass
-
building's clean. I mean, it's nice.
-
Why? Because it's not limited to the
-
resources of that Nation. And the minute you go through
-
the gate, although you're on the island and in the country called
-
Haiti when you go through their gate, it's as if you're in the
-
United States and the laws. Apply Right, but let me go a
-
step further. Does God on you?
-
Are you his property? Did he buy you with a price?
-
Did he come and take up residence on the inside of you.
-
So, that's why I have my body, don't have to be broke down,
-
beat down, stunts, like everybody else's because I have
-
access. When you see me, I am government
-
property and he's obligated to fix this property.
-
He'll Smile. Man.
-
He'll get my emotions. He'll heal my body cause I'm
-
owned by the government. I'm a Lethal Weapon.
-
Y'all hear me all the authority rights and powers of the nation
-
represented by that government are in effect on that property.
-
You mess with me angels mess with you.
-
Are you hearing me? Yeah, I got a couple bodyguards
-
walking around with me right now.
-
They're so secrets, you can't see them.
-
But they have capacity to reveal themselves.
-
I've heard of missionaries that were in places and all of a
-
sudden, the Angels showed up, I heard of one particular.
-
One we're Bandits came missionary was on the back of a
-
particular truck and they came to, you know, to take everything
-
when they got to the back and open up the back they ran off.
-
Later on that Pastor six months later was ministering somewhere
-
and one of those Bandits were in the service and said you know I
-
was one of the ones that tried to rob you but we ran off.
-
Where are those 10-foot guys that were there?
-
Still here. They got bigger actually right
-
now, whether you see range or not see relevant that don't make
-
you more spiritual. Can I just say that too?
-
So don't come and say, oh, I seen angels, I don't care if you
-
seen Angels or not. I know they exist whether or not
-
you see them and you're not more spiritual because you saw, okay?
-
But they are they exist and I give charge of my angels.
-
I do not have rough air on airlines, why?
-
Because I tell my angel's you go ahead of me.
-
You prepared away so we'll have no rough air or turbulence.
-
I do that every time. I say ministering Spirits, go
-
I'm serious. We do not have terminals long.
-
You want to be on my plane, you do.
-
Cause when you're on my plane, you're on an ambassador's
-
playing. I say, I take charge it as
-
playing for the sake of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
-
I said, because I'm on this plane.
-
My wife's on this plane, all these people are going to be
-
protected right now. I am vote my Ambassador, right?
-
Because when I sat down on a plane, a whole nation set on
-
that plane. Amen.
-
I'm serious because I know who I am.
-
See, we are not responsible as ambassadors for making policies.
-
We are responsible only for carrying out the policies
-
established by the king. So again, when the world says,
-
well, what do you think about, you know, homosexuality and what
-
do you think about, you know, transgender and what do you
-
think about? You know, you know, sexual
-
immorality and what do you think about?
-
I have no opinion in the matter but my King says.
-
That they shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
-
No issue. I'll keep peace with you.
-
Well, your are you, are you afraid of same-sex marriage?
-
I'm not afraid of nothing. God will let them do whatever
-
they want to, but you'll hold them accountable to whatever
-
they do. I'm just saying in the Kingdom,
-
you just choosing not to come. Do what you want to do.
-
It's not for me to convince. I'm just here to tell you the
-
policy because I'm an ambassador.
-
Well, you hate me. I don't hate you.
-
My king doesn't even hate you. My king hates sin.
-
And you're doing things that are contrary to his will and you
-
have to deal with that one day, but he's also made provision to
-
get in his will and he wants you to get a piece because you know,
-
you are not a piece, are you hearing me?
-
But you know what Christians are doing because they don't know
-
what that they're an ambassador. And because they just want to go
-
to heaven, is that they make up their own policies.
-
That's why they'll put people in the Pulpit that God says won't
-
even inherit the kingdom of God. That's why they'll keep people
-
in leadership. That won't even inherit the
-
kingdom of God. So they decide to make up their
-
own policies which means they're actually not a Ambassador for
-
the kingdom of God. There an ambassador to kingdom
-
of darkness. All right, Hallelujah, okay.
-
The only responsibility we have as Christ's ambassadors is to
-
make sure we are connected to our King in such a way that we
-
know and understand what he says and then speak and act
-
accordingly. Period.
-
What are the qualities of an ambassador?
-
An ambassador is a diplomatic agent of the highest-ranked
-
accredited to a foreign government or King Highest rank.
-
It's so silly. When you see Saints, jockeying
-
for position when the Lord puts you in the highest rank as an
-
ambassador, right? Right.
-
I mean at the end of the day, you're already at the highest
-
rank, you're an ambassador. So whether you're working in
-
parking lot, as the Ambassador or whether you're being agreed
-
or whether you get a pair on the boys, really relevant because
-
we're really ambassadors. We were representing a king.
-
Hey Mae were carrying out that which God calls us to do an
-
ambassador is appointed by the king were not voted into
-
position. I mean, you can't put me here
-
the king picked me, just go ahead and say the king pic me,
-
man. I mean, how more secure.
-
Could you get all the king? The king picked me, right?
-
I mean, the king picked me, the king picked me.
-
Yeah, I mean it's nothing personally not the king picks
-
me. Wow.
-
Wow, the king picked me. King pick me told me to go to
-
India. King, pick me.
-
Tell me go to Africa. King pick me told me go to
-
Poland. King, pick me to go into Walmart
-
King Pig me? No, ma'am.
-
You're the quality of an ambassador is appointed to
-
represent the kingdom. That's what you do.
-
You represent the kingdom. You ain't represent yourself.
-
It right? You don't have to tear down.
-
Somebody else, you're going to represent the kingdom, where an
-
ambassador is committed, only to the Kingdom's interest.
-
Only. Say only oh y'all getting some
-
laughs and going on here. I better be the Holy Ghost Town.
-
That's all I'm saying it is it is Joy Walmart ambassadors.
-
Y'all got some Walmart ambassadors.
-
Okay, committed only to the Kingdom's.
-
Interest. Are you committed only?
-
I mean your life is not your own.
-
He appointed you, Hallelujah, he said Rick Hutchins.
-
He said I'm going to make you an ambassador to Dominican
-
Republic. That's your assignment.
-
You know what you're going to do?
-
You're going to stay here. Can't because you're not for
-
your own interest. And Ambassador embodies the
-
nation or the kingdom. Again, when you meet him
-
bashing, me to whole nation, they're totally covered by the
-
kingdom. Totally covered Health Care
-
Dental. Life insurance.
-
I'm not saying when you die, I'm talking you have life insurance.
-
He keep you alive, right? He keep you alive through the
-
whole purpose of what you need to do.
-
Oh man, totally covered by the state, right?
-
You feel like you're having a mental breakdown.
-
He's got that covered. He fix your mental state.
-
I mean, he pays for it all. I said, he pays for it all
-
because he paid for it all and Ambassador is the responsibility
-
of the Kingdom. That means when they when he
-
made you in a bath, he said I'm totally responsible for you.
-
Now, I'm totally responsible you as long as you are doing what I
-
say. But if you become a rogue
-
Ambassador, then you're actually not an ambassador.
-
You're a traitor. All right.
-
Now, are you hearing me? I said, are you hearing me
-
because an ambassador never speaks his personal position on
-
any issue, only of the nation's official position, right?
-
Okay. And Ambassador is totally
-
protected by its government. There's some going down in
-
Sudan, do you hear? I don't know what it's all
-
about. The next thing, you know, I saw
-
on the news that all of a sudden they did a night Recon brought
-
in a helicopter, grab the Ambassador and 90 Personnel out
-
of the embassy in Sudan and flew him out the United States did
-
something's going down. So what did he do?
-
The the government delivered them I'm out of a trouble that's
-
coming. Oh my gosh.
-
Are you hearing me? Because they're protected?
-
It is a failure of a government, not to protect now.
-
Human government, may fail their ambassadors, but Decay will
-
never fail, his ambassadors. Never the king is not
-
negotiating with the Devil. He's stripped him.
-
He's not negotiating. He's not a saying, well, you
-
know? I wish you'd let that Ambassador
-
go. No, he's already giving you the
-
power to release yourself. Hallelujah.
-
And Ambassador can only be recalled by the king so nobody
-
can take you out of your position.
-
But you now you can with your way, your will your attitude,
-
your treason. Amen.
-
He can recall you because you don't represent me.
-
You're not representing me now. You're saying stuff that I do is
-
not my official position. I mean, you're going over this
-
whole nation and telling them that sometimes I put sickness on
-
them to teach them. Something that's not my official
-
position. My position is by his stripes.
-
We were healed and will bring Healthcare to that Nation, to
-
show them that I'm conned. So, I want you to minister to
-
them and lay hands on them and bring them some healthcare.
-
We're going to be benevolent. All right, here.
-
An ambassador has access to all its nation's wealth for the
-
assignment. So how could you ever see
-
yourself broke? You're not broke whatever.
-
Your assignment needs, as an ambassador, you'll get it
-
period. Now just in the natural, if
-
they're the Ambassador for the United States in India that it's
-
in New Delhi right now. If they needed some resources,
-
that are not actually in India there and they call the Home
-
Country. Hey we're making a request,
-
we're going to need some of these things brought over, you
-
know, we need a couple cars out of Da, you know, because we
-
don't want to buy Indian cars. We want to buy u.s. cars that
-
are bulletproof. You know, we want to know that
-
it was made there. So that protects this here, we
-
need not to die. We understand.
-
Then they fill the order, which means the minute.
-
They know. They got the hang up boss, I got
-
it, we'll send it. Got your orders coming, they're
-
not worried anymore, but there's a time frame.
-
But Tom, the time they load them up onto on the planes.
-
Fly. Almost over all the while
-
they're know we're coming. Say for us by faith.
-
You know what we're going to have it.
-
The Lord said we're going to take the lamb, so the home
-
countries, bringing the provision, the home countries,
-
bringing the people, the home countries, bringing the supply
-
Because we have access to its nation's wealth, we are
-
authorized Messengers, who have the power to make decisions and
-
to represent the will of the government.
-
We represent that, that's why we say, in the name of Jesus.
-
Geez, dad had to be here in the name of Jesus.
-
In the name of my king. This was his will, his will in
-
this situation. This is the Diplomatic approach
-
that we're taking with you. Are you hear me?
-
Y'all doing. All right?
-
The goal of the Ambassador is to influence the territory for his
-
kingdom government. That's our goal.
-
Our goal is to leave an impression of the Kingdom that
-
when people see us, they know they were impacted by a nation.
-
Wow. So Representing.
-
He came, we should be concerned only with their interests of the
-
king and Ambassador who understands his role was simply
-
communicate the position of his government ambassadors.
-
Have here it as you ready, diplomatic immunity in the
-
territory they are assigned. Now, what has diplomatic
-
immunity? It is the privilege of exemption
-
from certain laws and taxes granted to diplomats by the
-
country in which they are working.
-
Do you understand where we're in a world where not of, which
-
means the law of sin and death doesn't apply to me?
-
I have diplomatic immunity I have diplomatic immunity.
-
So when that Nation tries to describe to me sin and death,
-
I'm like, nope. I have diplomatic immunity.
-
I'm under the law of the spirit of life in Christ.
-
Jesus, I'm under a different law.
-
I said I'm under a different law have diplomatic immunity.
-
You don't owe me any more. I don't go.
-
According to your laws, I don't go against, I don't go according
-
to your taxation. Oh my goodness.
-
Well, that being said, this is why John recognized how all of
-
us should be because the minute we get what John says, then
-
we're on the path. to be in the Diplomat when we know that if
-
we're going to be great meaning, we're going to be a great
-
Ambassador for God, that we have to stay like a child just like
-
Jesus was In the nsa's. Jesus remain like a child.
-
Whatever dad says I do, I completely trust him.
-
Period. I never questioned.
-
My father's will one time in the garden.
-
He said my Lord, if there's another way.
-
But at the end of the day, I'm just a child and not my will,
-
but your will be done. And he only dealt with that
-
because why he did not want to be separated from his father.
-
At the end of the day even though he knows he's coming in
-
three days, gonna come out. I just don't want to be
-
separated, it is so good to be with you but he still even in
-
that not doing my will I am not doing my will, right?
-
And then when we recognize that it puts us in what John says, in
-
John 3:30. He must, but I'm us.
-
How do you know that you're starting to function?
-
Well, as an ambassador, you'll say well, or what do you want me
-
to do? What do you want me to do?
-
What do you want me to do? it's not my will, your will I
-
have no opinion in the matter, what's your policy because
-
that's life. That's life and I just represent
-
you only represent you. Let me just say this way for all
-
eternity. I will only represent you
-
because you are life. Now here's the thing.
-
For American citizens. You know what that makes you
-
feel like? Well, what about me?
-
Listen, there is no, you outside of Hume.
-
Soir Paul said in him, we live and move and have our.
-
You can't even find yourself unless you're in Christ, in the
-
king submitted to the king, there's not even life outside of
-
that. So I fi I live the best life
-
ever because I discover myself I have power beyond my wildest
-
dreams because I'm submitted to the voice of my dad and my dad
-
releases me. He empowers me, he allows me to
-
cold labor in this Kingdom and do phenomenal exploits through
-
my life. And he's last days that's going
-
to require true. Diplomats To navigate in this
-
evil age. To navigate.
-
Are you hearing me? Because when we navigate as
-
diplomats, the kingdom will be left wherever we are.
-
They can reject it but they will have experienced it.
-
They will have encountered the nation.
