Chosen - Kingdom Lordship

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now, enjoy this message. We want to help keep things

straight help things stay in truth.

Amen. And so, I want to talk to you

about being chosen today, Amen. In John 6:44.

John 6:44

It says this, no one can come to me, unless the father has sent

Who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the

last day. No one say no one.

Say, no one. So that means you're witnessing.

Can't do it. Your admonishing, no matter how

much how passionate you are. And saying, if you died today,

where will you go? All right, let me go over here.

Your Romans road to Salvation does not guarantee salvation.

There's a lot of witnessing happening without the leading of

the Holy Ghost. And a lot of the witnessing that

are happening, the disciple themselves needs to learn a, my

watering and my planting because not every time is Harvest yet,

we will talk to people if we don't watch out about trying to

be born again, in such a way as if this is the only opportunity,

which means if we were true disciples and more connected to

the spirit, then we would know how to discern our conversation

cause no one. Can come to me unless the father

who sent me draws him. So unless the holy spirit is

involved in the process of this conversation, concerning Jesus

death, burial and Resurrection. You can talk till you are red in

the face and veins are popping out and you're doing everything.

You can to convince them, not to be eternally, separated from

God, and go to hell. Does not guarantee.

They'll come to the kingdom until the kingdom of God itself

himself, the spirit of God. Feel it.

It's still going to be blind to them.

So we need to learn how to discern that when we're giving

this message. When we're talking to people,

I'm just planning. It's obvious, they're not ready

to be harvested but the seed is there nonetheless or I see that

they've heard this before, and I'm just reiterating things that

they are accustomed to. I'm watering today but I can

tell they're not Waiting to come in.

So there's no reason for me to give them pressure.

You understand people are not born again because they're so we

scare the hell out of them. In fact, the Bible says, it's

the love of God that draws men to repentance.

Not the fear of going to hell. I would submit to you if people

are confessing Jesus as Lord because of the fear of going to

hell, he may not actually be lured.

In fact, I could almost submit to you that it could be.

That we get a nice all conversation instead of a true

repentance conversation. What do I mean by Esau Esau was

really sorry. That he wasn't getting the

blessing. And he was crying out to the

father to give it to him, but yet there was no repentance a

part of his life. And there are many people that

are sorry, that they are getting caught for their rebellion and

wrongdoing. And when they realize, I will be

eternally thrown into the prison system of the Kingdom.

I don't want that. What can I do to get out?

Well, you must believe that Jesus died.

I'll take that. And it's not because they want

Jesus to be what's required to be born again, they just want to

be saved from. Going to hell and being saved

from going to hell, does not bring a new birth experience.

I'm going to say that again and being being saved from going to

hell. Eternity for eternity is not a

new birth experience, not according to scripture.

So John chapter 12 verse 31 and 32 says this says now judgment

John 12:31

is upon this world. Now the ruler of this world will

be cast out and if I and I, if I am lifted up from the earth will

draw all men to myself. So the word in this Here at have

to function together in order to all three, the father, Son and

the Holy Spirit, they function together that begins to draw,

people until the light comes on until Revelation, until God

himself, makes it known in that moment in that conversation that

this is true that you need to receive and they need he knows

that they know. Until that moment then we're

still planning. We're still watering.

We're still planning, we're still watering.

And there are many times during the watering process that they

have a revelation, it's true, but yet, they're not ready to

yield. They have too many mental things

going on. This is why the Bible says that

Jesus, the Lord of the Harvest, he said, pray to the Lord of the

Harvest, man, if we could get this right in the church so much

anxiousness That happens in the church, concerning the lost that

the father clearly through. Jesus tells us you don't have to

be anxious about this. Just do what I say when I say

because he's the Lord of our, he said pray to the Lord of the

Harvest that he would send forth laborers.

Now, a laborer is one, who's On Assignment from the owner of the

field. And how is it again, we have an

agriculture Society in our County.

How is it that those farmers in Hastings know when it's time to

pick those potatoes? How do they know that?

How do they know when it's time to harvest?

Those collard greens? Are those watermelons are those

cantaloupes? I mean, they are trained to know

how come a farmer can walk out in the film, same.

Okay, we'll get this next week. Well, it looks like it's ready

this week. You understand if you pull the

fruit off the vine before it's fruitful or it's truly Harvest

time than it's no good. You know how many people are

running into supermarkets running into gas stations?

Running into places of business and trying to pull the Harvest

of Salvation from a person's life.

And yet it's not the fruit is not you really ready to be

picked and then that person when they basically pray, Way to get

you off of their back, they are the the the sourest, the most

prune believer on the face of the planet, you get around them

and every time you taste them they taste like they're bitter.

They're upset. I mean my gosh you have God in

you, you're born again and yet you're acting like nothing's

changed. Could we have given them a false

sense of security? Because we're not leaning to the

lord of the Harvest. Are you hearing me?

But, what's important about this is that God drew them.

What I want to key in is on both of these times.

God is doing the drawing. God is the one who says this

door is open. Now listen, I understand today

is the day of salvation. I get that.

I understand that, but you understand their seven point

nine billion people on the planet and there are of those

seven point nine billion. People other than the Ones that

have already confessed. Jesus Christ is Lord which is

very minimal, very minimal still a minority.

Are you hearing me? That there are those that God

has spoken to, that they are absolutely in the watering

stage. They know they need to give

their lives to the Lord but they've yet to do it.

They've yet to do. And God is patient.

The Bible says he's patient. He's patient like a farmer.

What are they? They're patient because he's

like, I'm the fruits coming the fruits coming.

We're going to be at a hot. We're going to get them in.

We're going to get them in. We're going to get them in.

We're going to get them in and we need to be patient as well.

And then realize this, we're not the only labor out there.

When you have done a portion of watering and they're no longer

want to receive your water, just let it go and let some other

labor come by because you don't want to damage, what God is

trying to do, but he's the one drawing.

Look what it says, in John chapter 15 verse 16 to 19, he

John 15:16–19

says, you did not choose me. But I chose you.

You did not choose me but I chose you.

You did not choose me, but I chose you.

Jesus, did not accept you, you have to accept him.

There's a difference between being accepted in choosing.

When God chooses you, he's making a choice to give you an

opportunity. He's definitely not accepting

you as you are. He's giving you the choice to

come through the blood and be changed.

This is important because a lot of times we're saying God loves

you. Just the way you are.

God loves and love died and love, Rose and love, made a way

for you. Not to be like you are anymore

and so he chooses to let you know.

You don't have to be like you are anymore, you can't change

it. But if you'll come through me

and let the blood wash you, then you'll be different when you get

on the other side. Can I get an amen?

So Oh, God did not. You did not choose God for the

Bible says, no man comes after God.

No, not one. So, it's important when the Lord

begins to draw a person, you should begin to say, wait a

minute, he's talking to me and I can't get any, can't get in any

other way. If he wasn't talking, I couldn't

come, I might need to listen because he's starting to call my

name. These appointments of time when

God begins to speak forth your day when he begins to Harold

from the the corridors of the Kingdom of Light down into the

depths of darkness and begin, just like he did with Lazarus

telling you to come forth to get you up out of the Grave, you

need to answer that call because you can't choose him.

He's choosing you. And when he begins to choose

you, you need to accept his calling.

You did not choose. Me said, but I chose you and

appointed you that you would go and bear fruit and that your

fruit would remain. So that whatever you ask of the

father in my name, he may give it to you this.

I command you that you want. Not a suggestion.

Amen. This is not a personal

relationship. Whoop.

When God chooses you, he doesn't choose you to have a personal

relationship with you. He chooses you to come to a

family that then he commands you to love one another.

Okay, I'll go over here and preach I think this size a

little more excited. He's not calling you to a life

of isolation with him alone. He's calling you to a family

life. He's calling you into something

bigger than yourself. He's calling you into something

that requires you to give a yourself to others, because

that's what he did. God is not a god of isolation.

God is not a God that maintain Solace.

He didn't in his in his infinite sea of Father, Son.

And Holy Spirit, said I'm good enough.

No, because of love. He said my God.

I must create, I must share. I must expand myself to other

things of creation. I must create.

I'm a giver. I can't help it.

That's my nature. So when you get in his kingdom

and ain't you and God and that's it, he's calling you in to a

larger family where the gifts within you can be, can be

utilized and deployed among the family.

And in the kingdom of God, hallelujah.

He said, listen this I command you that you love one another.

If the world hates you you know that it hated me before it hated

you if you were of the world the world would love its own man.

If you're getting a lot of accolades from the world, you

might want to re-examine your relationship with the Lord.

If you are of this world, if you were of the world, the world

would love its own but because you are not of this world.

But I what chose you out of the world because of this, the world

hates you. A lot of lot of times in the

realm of Christianity and witnessing.

We like to take the humanity life of Jesus and try to make

him like the world as if God was trying to be like us.

But the law was not trying to be like us.

He just came in the form of a man.

He can identify with us because he was in that form.

But never once, was he trying to live like us, he actually lived

like the father wanted him. In fact, he became the example

of how he wants us to live like him.

So he did not come down to identify with Humanity.

He came down because he had the legal responsibility to take

back what Adam lost and only a man could do that.

I'll get to that in a minute. And so Jesus came down in the

form of what could legally bring back to the Earth that which

Adam actually lost that, which causes us to be lost in the

first place. Are you hearing me?

And because of that, the world will hate you because the world

is under the sway of a different ruler.

Of a different father. Jesus himself, acknowledged

there was another dad other than him and they were to religious

people, he said you are of your father the devil The devil now,

you understand all of us. We like to act like everybody on

the planet is made is God's loving people.

When everyone is not God's loving people.

Now man was originally created in the image of God and we in

seeing human life is to see them with their potential.

And that is they can be back in the original design.

God wanted for them but Jesus himself knows, you're not living

like my father. He said, man, if you were living

and loved my father, you would love me and you wouldn't be

trying to kill me. Amen.

But you are of your father, the devil, he is a liar and the

father of Lies. But I'm not of the devil

anymore. Aren't you glad you've been

transferred? Aren't you?

Glad you've come into the kingdom of God, aren't you?

Glad you're reunited with your heavenly father?

Amen. So again with Jesus said, I

didn't shoot, you didn't choose me but I chose you.

He said, I chose you out of this world, meaning I'm not asking

you to look like the world. I'm asking you to come out of

the world and the way it functions, even though you're in

it, When they saw Jesus, they're like, who is this guy?

He doesn't function like everyone else.

He does not, like anyone else he doesn't behave, like anyone

else. He doesn't talk like anyone

else. In fact, when he preaches, he

doesn't pre. He's using the same scripture.

I heard the Pharisees say, in the synagogue last week, but

this guy preaches with authority, and he calls us

things to come to pass. Jesus did not identify with them

by living there. Same example, boozing it up with

the sinners. Constant it up with the Sinners,

joking, it up with the Sinners. No, he lived.

A holy life, separated consecrated unto God, that their

life, who is this guy, and the Lord's.

Like I chose you to come out of that.

Are you hearing me now? When he says, I didn't choose

you, but chose, I chose you didn't choose me, but I chose

you. He said, I appointed you that

you would go and bear fruit and that your fruit would remain.

This is awesome. So what is he called unto

himself? Well, you just have to jump up

in this verse this chapter back to verse 7.

Verse 7, says it this way, if you abide in me and my words

abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for

you. My father is glorified by this

that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

Just as the father has loved me. I have also loved you abide in

my love. If you keep my Commandments, you

will abide in my love. Just as I have kept my father's

Commandments and abide in his love.

Now we need to break this down a little bit because there's a lot

of insight here. That will change our thinking,

Matthew, 15 3. I quote this often Jesus says to

religious people. Why do you forsake the

Commandments of God for the sake of your Traditions?

There's a lot of tradition being taught even in the church today

especially among denominations. Because you know, they have

heard things one way without actually examining the reason

why Martin Luther put 95 Theses on the door one day and the

Protestant Reformation took place.

Is because he started to search the scripture for himself and

began to realize, huh, there's some additional things here now

he didn't put that on the door without going to the authorities

of the church. And say, what about this?

The problem was the authorities of the church at the time, chose

to stay with their tradition. Then to say, man, now we need to

look at this. I find it interesting that it's

very difficult for believers to get around.

Together and actually discuss scripture.

I have found that many do not number one because of their

ignorance. Number two, they don't want to

look ignorant. So in turn, they'll just leave

the subject alone. But I am empowered by questions

because this, I'm never intimidated with someone's

thought because if I cannot line it up with scripture, I'll just

cast that down anyway. I won't let a tradition stay in

my mind, even if most of the churches say in it.

Because it is the church that sometimes gets things off, when

I say the church, I'm saying those that start staying in

Tradition. Not the one Jesus is building.

Can I say that? Let me just step back because

the last thing that I want to give the appearance, is that the

church is not doing its job. The church that Jesus is

building is alive and well, and it's functioning with great

Authority and it's in the planet today.

There are just a lot of people assembling that are actually in

the church, he's building. And there's a difference because

if you're in the church, he's building then the pastor is

empowering you to think for yourself and to hear the Holy

Ghost for yourself. And at the end of the day, when

we come around, any patch of scripture, we're going to have

to come to the same conclusion because there is the truth, not

your truth and my true There's his truth and not many are

willing to go long enough to determine his truth because we

don't want to look like we were wrong.

I don't mind being wrong if I'm wrong.

And I'm like, man, that's good. This is why I'm always drawing

on people around me who are in the word speaking.

The word and begin to say, Pastor what do you think about?

That's a good point. Let me look at that.

Let me examine that I don't act like, I know all the answers but

I know who does. Does the Holy Ghost?

And in his word and if I'll seek it I'll find and you won't come

to a different conclusion. We'll have to arrive to the same

conclusion. Are you hearing me?

So let's go back to this passage because I want you to see a

couple of things here that are really important.

He said now if you abide in me and my words abide in you ask

whatever you wish and it shall be done.

My father is glorified by this by what that his words abide in

you. Because he goes on and says and

that you bear much fruit. So prove to be my disciples.

How do you prove that you're a disciple of God?

Is that you abide in his word and it produces in your life?

He said, just as the father has loved me.

I also loved you now Abad, that means remain in my love.

How do we do this verse 10 if conditional statement?

Which means if you're not meeting the condition, you'll be

out. Now, I'm not talking about loss

of Salvation. I'm just saying you're not

abiding in love if you keep my come on, say it out loud.

Commandments you will abide in my love.

If you keep my Commandments, you will abide in my love.

Just as I have, what kept my father's Commandments and abide

in his love? How did Jesus abide in the

Father's Love. Not because he was born of the

father. The fact that Jesus was born of

the Holy Spirit. When he came upon Mary the

virgin What's not proof of his love for the father.

Wow! My mom just because Jesus was

born of the Holy Spirit of the Virgin, Mary Jesus doesn't say

don't you know, the father loves me.

I'm his son. I am born of God.

What qualified the love of the father with the sun?

He kept my word. He kept my word.

Oh, you want me to prove it to you?

Okay, no problem. I didn't think I'd get this much

resistant right now and I ain't even got to the meat of the

matter, but that's okay. It must be what's happening on

YouTube when we release it, okay.

Jesus looks at John the Baptist. He says John you need to baptize

me. He said, you are the lamb that

has come to take away the sins of the world.

I'm not even worthy to untie your sandals.

You are going to baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire.

I just do water for repentance. He said you should baptize me.

What did Jesus say? Permit it at this time.

So that all righteousness can be fulfilled, meaning Just this is

not a religious word, it means right standing with the

governing Authority. It's God's way of doing

something. The father has told me to do

this in essence. He said, I'm being obedient to

Dad, Dad told me to come. And have you baptized me once?

He was baptized in the Jordan, and came up the Heavens opened,

and the Holy Spirit Came Upon Jesus without measure, then, the

voice from Heaven, which was a father says this.

Is my beloved Son in whom. I am not because he was born of

a virgin, but because he's kept my word, he's kept my word.

He's kept it Jesus says now listen, if you going to abide in

my love, like I bought it in my father, you're gonna have to

keep the word that I'm saying. So what he's saying is, I've

chosen you to bear fruit. What I've chosen, you notice.

What it doesn't say my father is glorified by this that you're

born again. Bob metal with religion all the

time. We have put way too much

emphasis on an entrance. Way too much emphasis on an

entrance. Right now, Chelsea and Kirk have

a child. She has come.

I have seen her face. Chelsea and Kirk can pack their

bags with John and Marie's their grandparents.

The grandparents and then come home, they'll show up here and

would be like, hey, Chelsea Kirk?

Let's see the baby. Oh man, we gave birth to a

beautiful baby, she's whatever. It was somebody else's so long.

Let's see her. Oh, we don't have her when you

don't have her. We left her at the hospital.

What? Yeah, all we did was give birth.

She's born. I mean, we labor, Nan.

Mus we got her here. She's here.

Okay. So who's taking care of all?

She's a child. She's everything within hers

enough. Let God handle that.

When you let God, he gave her to you.

We don't want to hear this, because what we do is, we're not

trying to get people to be born again.

And they were like good, you're in heaven.

Now, when you die, you go to heaven, I'm going on to the next

one. We put so much emphasis yet.

The father didn't put emphasis on the door or the entrance in

in fact, Born Again, doesn't even manifest.

As a conversation except to a religious guy at about 2:00 or

3:00 in the morning. And the reason born-again was

even mentioned is because it was about going somewhere.

Jesus said to Nicodemus, unless a man is born again, he will not

see. The kingdom.

And we've turned the life, the death, the burial, and the

resurrection of Jesus. And what we call Salvation into

a confessing Jesus as our savior coming to a heart and save us.

So that when we die, we go to heaven, so that we can just be

born again. And yet Jesus is not emphasizing

born again, he's emphasizing the Kingdom publicly, he preaches

everywhere for the Kingdom of Heaven is like this.

And the kingdom of God is like that.

He never. Once publicly said, you must be

born again, but yet many places. All they preach is you must be

born again. You must be born again now.

Do you need to be born again? Yes.

Because it's the way in but it's to something.

It's not the end, it's got the conclusion.

It's tough to finality. It's not where we stopped.

Well, we Rejoice. Guess, we'll all of Heaven.

Yes. But Heaven won't continue that

praise. If you don't become a disciple,

You want to prove that the father loves you?

And that you love the Father and Jesus, you're going to have to

become a disciple. And the disciple is one who

keeps the word. And the gospel that we carry, is

not a destination gospel, it's a destiny gospel.

I said it's a destiny gospel. So how is it that we must be get

into this Kingdom. Well, Philippians 2 11 said this

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ, is

this word is the most Aunt underutilized word.

It is skimmed over. It is looked at with know No

value at all. It doesn't have the true meaning

that the scripture has it as we have turned it into something.

Just like when I'm in Latin American countries this word

Lord, that that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ

is Lord to the glory of the Father.

The word Lord in Spanish can be translated senior senior, but

the problem with senior is it's the same as mister.

So you can look at me and call me, you know, mr.

Earl which they won't say Earl cuz you know Spanish may have a

hard time saying Earl. They'd rather save glisten,

right? Senior glisten, senior senior,

which is mr. Mr. Glisten mr.

Glisten. And you understand, when I

preach in those countries, I always have.

And I say, you must make Jesus. Lord, they'll say hey School.

Chris Cristo has Jesus Cristo as Senior and I'm Gonna Know,

Dwayne, yo. Now, Dwayne yo means Master,

that's different because not everybody's master.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? Because this word Lord is very

important, because if this not for this word, Lord, we can't

even be saved. Let's turn over to Romans

Romans 9 · chapter mention

chapter 9. Since we go there, chapter 10,

and most people use the Romans road to Salvation.

It says, is that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as not

savior, not savior. Is Jesus as Savior?

Yes. Has he saved everyone?

Yes, beanie. He's Provision for all to be

safe. Let's put it that way.

Let me say it. This way, has Jesus saved,

everyone? Not everyone saved.

He has made per Vision so that all can be saved.

There's a difference. The Lord saved us.

All not everyone saved. The Lord has made provision for

all to be saved, but Salvation is not the goal.

Salvation is, what gives the ability to get into the kingdom

because in order to get into the kingdom, you must have must

identify Jesus. As someone as Jesus as oh great.

I guess everybody's asleep today, I'm sure preaching.

Way more passionate in your hearing.

I can tell you that. And why is this?

Because we don't value our salvation.

We don't value it. I mean, someone has been in

Christ for so long. We forgot what it means to be in

Christ. We take a so flippantly, he's

Lord, I said he's Lord, I said he's Lord.

I mean when he walks in the room, we Bow Down On Our Knees.

We get on our face. When I like my gosh, Glory

showed up yet. We don't treat it like that in

the shirts because we don't even act.

Like you see here yet. The minute we opened scripture,

it is Jesus himself. He is the word.

All we bowing to it and where we submitted to it.

No, it's just casual That's my homeboy.

Jesus, he's saying this whole when I had to go to hell.

Jesus is not your homeboy, he's not your buddy, he's not your

pal, he's Lord, I said he's Lord, I said he's Lord, he's to

be honored. He's to be respected, he's to be

in awe. I'm concerned that many who have

called Jesus Lord, is it, he's really not.

And we'll get to that next week. We're not gonna be able to

preach that today, but if you confess with your mouth, Jesus

as Lord, this word Lord means Supreme in Authority.

It is not a religious word, it is not a religious word, it

means Master. It means owner of property.

And you know what? This is hard in the u.s. because

you know what You Don't Own Me you better hope God owns you,

you better testify. He owns you.

You better yield and yell it from the rooftop, I'm on by

someone else. They own me.

They own me they have the right to tell me anything because I'll

do exactly what they say whenever they say it because

life That at mouth, they are life.

Where am I gonna go without him? It's in him, we move and

breathe, and have our B. But when he's just your buddy,

he's optional. He just the one who saved you

from going to hell, Kudos? Thanks, Jesus, loved it.

Thanks for saving me. Thanks, I'm not going to hell,

it's just cool. But he's the king.

I said, he's the king. See we love Savior.

Jesus, go, nobody wants to go to hell for their wrongdoing.

But Lord's a whole nother ballgame.

And Jesus says, acknowledging me as your savior will get you in,

don't say that. He said, listen, I've saved you.

I can get you in, but it cost you.

See. Now that's a problem because in

today's church and most Believers today, they act like

you don't cost you nothing and it's just not true.

It's really a lie from the pit of Hell.

Anyone that has truly actively involved with the Lord knows it

did cost me some. Now, it's not a work that you

impress. God, it's not what we're saying.

So go ahead and get that out your mom but you know what?

It did cost me, it cost me my will.

It cost me my flesh. I crucified daily at the expense

of my Lord, I chose to no longer do it my way and I habitually do

it his way. That's what it cost me every

day. It costs me to be able to say

yes, Lord. Yes, Lord, yes, it gave me.

The ultimate cost is I in turn laid my life down to take up the

one, he was going to give me Jesus laid his life down as the

ultimate Sacrifice so that his blood which ran.

So pure have the capacity to forgive me of all my wrongdoing

but the day that I said, Jesus, you are Lord.

I said, I'll equally lay my life down, although it has no value,

not at all, according to you, but I'll lay it down to take up

the life. You'll freely, give me by

acknowledging. You are the Lord of my life.

I am in continual. All submission to your

Authority, whatever you say, I say yes.

Lord. now, that believer, walks different That believer gets

crowned that believer gets raised up and seated in Heavenly

places in Christ Jesus. That believer begins to conquer

because you only conquer what God has conquered.

You only do what God says to do. You begin to live like Jesus?

Did I only do what the father says?

You say I only do what Jesus said.

Oh man. Don't you have a mind on your

own? I got rid of that.

It was destructive. Well man you're so

narrow-minded. Thank God.

I am cuz wide is the gate. That leads to death and

destruction. You might want to close your

eyes down a little bit because you keep opening it up and let

death. Come in, let cancer come in.

Let all kinds of sickness and disease let demons come in but I

keep my focus. I keep it narrow.

I keep it just as the word. I keep it to the source of life.

My God, made it easy for me to get rid of all the cups clutter

of life and say just believe me at my word.

I mean, this is such an easy thing and yet we made it

complicated while could we don't want to offend nobody?

Well, the word offense because the Lord is not taking anything,

you got to offer Ain't taking any of it.

He says, just lay it all down at the cross and I'll resurrect

somebody new. Can I get an amen?

It says that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and

believe in your heart, that God raised him from the dead.

You will be saved. So salvation comes as a result

of lordship. Not as a result of

acknowledging, Jesus as Savior. Because he's Lord for with the

heart of person, believes resulting in righteousness, and

with the mouth, he confesses resulting in Salvation.

For the scripture, says, whoever believes in him will not be

disappointed. For there is no distinction

between Jew or Greek. For the same Lord is Lord of all

abounding in riches, for all who call on him, for whoever will

call on the name of the Will be salvation does not come any

other way. Church attendance doesn't make

you right with God, being good to people don't make you right

with God paying people's bills don't make you right with God

because again if you're determining what's good then

you're a God to yourself. If you're judging the situation

without God, you're a God to yourself.

But the minute you say, Lord, what do you want me to do?

How do you want me to handle this situation?

What do you want me to do in this circumstance?

Now, you have the mind of Christ and you can begin to function.

Ian and operate as God always intended you to operate because

you must name him Lord this word here.

When we talk about Lord, it means to make a covenant with

your mouth that Jesus is supreme and authority.

And since Jesus is the word, in the beginning, was the word and

the Word was with God. And the Word was God, and the

word became flesh. John 1:14 says, we could say it

John 1:14

this way that if we make a covenant with our mouth that the

word is supreme authority and that is not a one-time event,

that's my whole life. The word is supreme authority,

the word. I know a Believer is starting to

move towards maturity in discipleship.

When they, when asked a question they would say.

Well what does the word say? Anytime you get cornered in

society? Well, where are you at on

same-sex marriage? Well what does the word say?

What does the word say? Well what do you think should

happen, you know if your boss done your own?

Well what does the word say? What do you think about giving

to the church? Well what does the word say?

What do you think we should do with our child?

He's been acting like this. Well, what does the word say?

Because I've done a lot of things that my feelings and my

mind would not have done, but I do the word and it brings life.

It opens up life. It gives the opportunity of life

and gives the opportunity for repentance.

Even if those, that hear it, don't receive it.

Because if they don't receive it, they're really not rejecting

me, but they're rejecting. The Lord and nothing personal

about it, but we're in a society that we want to go to heaven and

be light. We want the world to love us as

we go to heaven. But the Bible says the world

hates you. So to avoid hatred, we get along

with the world and then say, well, you know, I'm saved.

But Jesus becomes the option of when to follow and how to

follow. That's not lordship.

See in the Kingdom. There's a lordship principle

because all kings are personally legal owners of property

territory, or their domain. Another word for honor is Lord.

And we don't hear this word, a whole lot in our nation because

you understand, you know, we are independent.

We have a different kind of government.

You don't hear of these types of terms much anymore, but the

reality is, you would First and this, if you were renting

because you have a land lord, which means they own the

property that you are in and you can function in that property

based upon the agreement set forth in the terms of the rental

agreement. If the owner allows you to paint

the inside of the property, you can paint the inside of the

property, but if they will not let you, if you paint it, you

are unauthorized. It could be grounds for

eviction. Are you hearing me?

But you understand, we are owners but the reality is, were

really not owners unless we hold title d.

Because even if you're paying for your house as an owner

through a mortgage, the bank actually owns your property.

And if you took the time to actually read all those

documents that you signed word for word, then you'd realize

there are conditions that are set forth by the one holding the

mortgage that if you violate some things, they can read, they

can take access to the property. Just go ahead and tell them you

own it and quit paying. Are you hearing me?

Yeah. Now if you own the land and the

house you have title deed, do you actually own it you only own

the land up to your taxes, okay? Hallelujah.

Because at the end of the day, the government still has a right

to what you possess. Okay, nobody was fun.

Ain't no government. Go on me.

You better hope the kingdom owns you.

I'm just saying in the natural, you're not free of world

governments. You never want to be free of

God's government. So go ahead and not pay your

taxes on the land. You want to have title D because

they'll take possession of it. Then if the city or the county

proves, it's necessary to put a highway through the land that

you pay taxes. They'll take this thing called

eminent domain eminent domain where they'll say, you know, I

know it's yours and you own it, but For the better of the

society. You don't want to hear this.

We're going to pay you a portion.

Fair market value. And we're taking the land, I

don't care. It's been in your family for a

hundred years. I know, when I was traveling

through Gainesville, lateral County, there's a particular

farmer, that owned a piece of property and set I-75 went right

through the middle of it. She means they own cattle over

here and over here. And the state did not see fit to

build a little walkway for his cattle to be able to cross.

And we go through their property every day now.

Well, not us because we don't live over there, but back in the

day, when I lived over there, I went through their property

every day while because the state took access.

Because it was better for the state, it's better for the

nation. That we cut right through here.

Are you hearing me? Jesus is honored.

Lord means supreme authority. It means controller.

Go ahead and look at me. Say God control.

Me please. Now here's the thing.

He can't control you. You have to yield control.

So when you sing Jesus, Take the Wheel.

Why were you driving in the first place?

Right in one sense. Now, I don't mind you driving.

If you're taking instructions from Jesus, the GPS system.

What do you want me to turn? Because I have no idea where I'm

going. Are you hearing me?

Amen, we do participate. But he wants to be able to

dictate because he knows you better than you do.

Lord means he to whom a person or thing belongs about which he

has power. Or of deciding.

You've got to be, you're not in the US, the minute, you get over

into the kingdom, although you live in it.

You got to say, what do you, what do you decide?

How do you want me to handle this?

What do you want to do? Now, it'd be different if this

was actually a foreign concept to all of us and that we didn't

do it all the time because many in this room, go to work and you

have a manager or someone over you and you say, what do you

want us to do? And you do it. you definitely do

it if you like them, if you don't like them you still do it

because you love your job more than you do them, even though

you'll walk away from them and talk bad about them and their

decision, but you won't lead Because of the money.

Which means you serve money. More than it all.

Because the money keeps calling you out of bed, okay.

Don't want to meddle in your lordship.

Jesus said yeah there's only two guys out there on the planet.

I am God. And then there's another one

that people allow to make decisions in their heart who

govern their lives that they determine whether they do

something. They consult their bank account.

Can I go on vacation? Can I buy that present?

Can I go on that mission trip? Hull Pastor.

I'd love to go on that mission trip with you but I can't afford

it. So you let your money tell you.

You never once asked God yeah but I know how much I made.

How much is your daddy make? I mean, if he's Lord, can't he

say, I want you to go when our Lord, there's nothing in my

account to support your words, but at your word, I'll do it.

I'm signing up. Well, you need $100 of sign up.

Okay, well no one's giving me 100.

I'm putting my own hundred in it.

Believe God for the rest. Some of you haven't gone on

mission trips because God wouldn't authorize the person

paying for it to do it because you never got past your own

wallet. Hallelujah, I have had business.

People come to me and say, I want to do this, I say, well, if

somebody comes along, I'll let you know.

Then no one comes along while because they listen to their

wallet instead of the Lord. Because the Lord had already

provided, they just had to take the step of faith.

Not knowing where I was going to come from, but just had a word.

I said, just that a word. I remember the Lord spoke to me

like that one time because he's my Lord.

My wife and I were going into our second year of Bible College

and the Lord spoke to me very clearly.

He says, do not save money for school.

Don't do it. You just take care of your wife

and three kids. And so all summer, the money

went straight to the house except for what was God's the

tithes and offerings. Other than that, we just try and

take care of the house. And it man.

There wasn't a whole lot. I mean, it was just like keeping

us in the house. You know, Bond the $89 Hamburger

Helper meals. We used to buy these little

chicken drumettes, you know, little drumsticks and we tear

them things up, man, cause you get a bunch of chicken

drumsticks for nothing. I mean, we had the cheapest food

processed, I mean, it's probably cardboard box be honest with

you. I mean, it's I don't even know

his real food, but we hate it. Amen.

Well, as we got a little closer, we realized there's no money for

this. So naturally you start carrying

on conversations, you begin to have your own conversation.

Should we both go? Should we just one of us?

Go could we maybe just work it out?

Where one could go in the other? You know?

Because again, you begin. Well, we don't know what God is

doing. Totally he just said, don't say

but I'll never forget when we were having that conversation

about one of us. Going the holy gear goes

reminded me of what Pastor Hagan says.

He said, if the Lord call you to start Raymond, then he's called

you to finish. I looked at her and I said, God

called us to start. We going to start, we started

together. We going to finish together.

Didn't know how that was going to happen at the end of the day,

we're two weeks before school starts for my kids and up and

someone from the state of Florida happened.

To be in Little Rock Arkansas and we were in Oklahoma.

They gave us a call said, we were in the neighborhood.

Now, Little Rock Arkansas is not literally in the neighborhood of

Tulsa, Oklahoma, it's hundreds of miles away, right?

But compared to Florida. Yes, it was.

And so they asked how could they come?

By and see us. And we said sure and in that the

Lord spoke to them to buy our kids clothes for school so it

was awesome. Didn't have to say for that.

Because God cares for me. I just need to be in his will

and my Lord through someone else.

Bought all my kids school clothes and then we ate at a

restaurant. We've not eaten at for over a

year. I mean, we had steak that day,

it was like the best steak ever on the planet.

Not that it really was shit when you been eating hamburger

helpful for so long you know beef stroganoff, it was nice you

know, rice and beans. Ins spaghetti was every week for

sure. Thank you, Lord.

So they bid us farewell and they left and we were like, praise

God. Well, it was enough for us to

say, God knows about us. We're on his radar, look what

he's done for our kids. And if you'll do this for our

kids than surely, he'll do something for us about 30

minutes later, the same couple, the wife calls and speaks to my

wife. And says, where are y'all at

with your tuition? Mission for school.

Well I said well we're believing God and they said we're going to

pay for both of y'all's School this year.

Hallelujah. I said, Hallelujah.

He's Lord. Now to rewind three years

earlier, two years earlier, two years earlier.

The husband slap me in the face at work.

One day. He was my Superior and I was

talking with people on a pallet about the Lord and He himself

wasn't born again and it stirred him up.

And man, he slapped me in the face in front of everybody by

was shocked. About that time.

I had this leather necklace on that he end up putting up

underneath my I was in the military up underneath my shirt

and pulled it out and says what is this?

And I was wearing, because it was fascist buff, a fad back

then. Wwjd I said it's wwjd it stands.

What would Jesus do? And he'd turn the other cheek.

So here's this one. He was shocked by that and

stepped away. But he paid.

For my second year of my wife's second year for rain.

Because Jesus is Lord, and I didn't take Vengeance because I

didn't jump up and say, I'm gonna bust you down right now.

I'm not, you're not going to Bears me in front of all these

people because I didn't lift my fist.

But because I just took it because I had a word from my

king because I was submitted to God, God used a situation where

I control my flesh and my will, And use that individual to pay

for my second year, they showed up here one day.

Walked into the church began to cry.

Both of them were sick had symptoms in their body.

No, healing was happening. Just looking around and was just

in Aunt ears. The man hug my wife and hug me.

He said, I'm so proud of you on what you've done.

I said you did this. I didn't take him back to the

slap. I said you invested in US.

I said because you, you and best in US, you allowed us to finish.

The course God, use you to let us finish.

The course, brought them up on the front row and that night,

Pastor Hagan priest, and he was doing a kingdom or a living

faith conference at the time, and he never lays hands.

On the first night, never does this.

He always does it the last night, but he said in the

Pulpit, I feel that the Lord wants me to lay hands on the

sick tonight. And they were the first to that

he laid hands on. And they both receive their

healing. Aren't you?

Glad Jesus is Lord. You understand lordship is not

about going to heaven. It's about becoming children of

God. It's not a destination, it's a

destiny. Jesus came to restore that which

Adam lost in Genesis 1:26 and 27.

Genesis 1:26

Then God said let us make man in our image, according to our

likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea over, the

birds of the sky, over the cattle, over every living thing

that creeps on the earth, God created in his own image, in the

image of God, he created them male and female he created them,

he created us to have dominion. Ian.

To have dominion Adam lost the kingdom, not heaven.

Adam did not fall from Heaven so he did not lose Heaven.

Adam lost the kingdom and Jesus came to restore the kingdom.

Back to humanity. He's came to put man back in his

rightful position of dominion and sonship this is why Luke

Luke 3:38

3:38 the latter. Part says he was in the

genealogy coming from the birth of Jesus back down to Creation

that Adam was the son of God. Jesus was coming as the last

Adam to restore. What?

The first Adam gave away for the Devil Himself in the Luke's

account of the Temptation Of Christ, showed him all the

kingdoms of a moment of time. And he says, all this domain,

all this Authority, all this power, all this rulership, all

this, that you that you could Reign Over has been handed to

me, I'll give it to you, if you'll just Bow Down.

And worship me or make me your God, your king?

And Jesus said it is written. He said in his writing because

he only did the will of the father and when Jesus died on

the cross and said, it was finished and went to the grave

and conquered death, hell and the grave and he received the

keys of the of the of the Grave itself and he bust up out of

there by the power of the Holy Ghost, on the third day.

That he poured out his blood on The Mercy Seat in heaven and he

gave access that those could Back to Dominion back to

rulership back into the kingdom, by being born again or born from

above, this is not about a one-time salvation experience,

it's about becoming a child of the king.

It's about Destiny, it's about sonship, it's about ruling.

That's what the lordship of Jesus Christ is about.

Jesus told pilot and John chapter 18 starting in verse 33

John 18 · chapter mention

when Pilots saying listen, are you the king of the Jews?

Jesus said are you saying this on your own initiative or did

others tell you about me? Pilate said, I'm not a Jew, am I

your own tree, your nation and your Chief Priests of delivered?

You to me, what have you done? Jesus said, my kingdom is not of

this realm. Meaning, it doesn't operate like

the world, he kingdoms. Because if it did, my service

would not, let me be handed over to the Jews, but my kingdom is

not of this realm. And pilate said so you are King

Jesus. As you say correctly that I'm a

king. For this, I have been born.

And for this, I have come into the world.

He came to restore the King Khan.

Not to save you from planet Earth, but save you for planet

Earth. So that you could rain on an

earth that God himself will redeem that, God himself will

come back to that. God himself will cause the New

Jerusalem to come down, where he'll be the King of Kings, and

the Lord of lords, This is why Jesus said again and nicotine.

Nicodemus in John 3, he sent unless a man is what born again,

he will not see the kingdom of God.

So lordship or calling Jesus, Lord is not about saving your

life. It's about giving you the

Kingdom Life, sonship rulership? Born again is access.

To the Dominion, God had for you the whole time that if you'll

take the sonship, if you'll take the Dominion, if you'll begin to

walk in it. Then you'll begin to exercise

things. Spoken of you that greater is he

that's in you than he? That's in the world.

You'll begin to rejoice when a trial comes for, Jesus said, in

this life you'll have trials and tribulation but be of good

cheer. You'll begin to Rejoice because

you'll know that my God delivers the righteous out of all their

troubles. You'll know that I'm the head

and not the tail. I'm above, and not beneath.

You'll begin to operate in the Kingdom principles of Health

Care and provision. You'll begin to walk in the joy

of the Lord. You'll begin to eat the fruits

of the spirit. You'll begin to rise above

everything. You'll actually rise.

In life because you're not holding on for a destination.

You're like, I'm bringing Heaven to Earth by praying to my

heavenly father, I'm getting his kingdom to come, his will to be

done on Earth, just as it is in heaven because God has saved me

for the Earth. Save me that I would have

dominion here. And while I remain because there

will be a day that you'll be caught up together with him.

I'm not saying you won't But he's coming back, he's not

coming back to catch us up and then we just go hang out and

clouds. So, you're not going to become a

fat naked, baby, angel? See playing hearts?

You'll never turn into an angel. There are different species.

But after 7 years of the Great Tribulation trip tribulation and

after we've done the marriage supper of the Lamb, the king

will return with the Saints will come right back to the Earth.

And we'll begin our rulership with him of Eternity for a

thousand years on a planet that needs us and still has sent in

it and he'll dispersed us. And it in continued Dominion

status. And then ultimately create a new

Heaven and a new Earth. And the New Jerusalem will come

down out of Heaven to the Earth, and Will Rule and reign with him

forever. So, to be born again, means

terrain, and ruling starts today.
