Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
-
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now, enjoy this message, we've been in a series called the
-
beginning and the end we're talking about the kingdom of God
-
because the earth needs the kingdom.
-
It was always God's design that his kingdom would be in the
-
earth and the only government that functioned here.
-
Are you here? Miss the only authorized one.
-
Are you hearing what I'm saying? The one in its original intent
-
and so we see in revelation 22 verse 13.
-
It says I am the Alpha and the Omega the first and the last,
-
the beginning and the end. But we've learned here at anchor
-
features that many places, preach, not the beginning or the
-
end, they preached the middle. They preached from the fall till
-
the catching away of the church and that's their whole Focus.
-
But the problem is when you're only focused on the fall and the
-
catching away of the church. Well then you missed the
-
original intent of man, and what we're supposed to be doing and
-
you'll miss what happens in the end because a lot of times
-
people say, I've read the back of the book we win.
-
Well, they only say that cause they heard a song sing it.
-
And so they say it, but he actually hadn't even read the
-
back. Because in their mind if you
-
talk to most Believers today, you say well what what happens
-
when we die our when Jesus can? What?
-
Well we're caught up with him will live with him forever in
-
heaven, but the Bible does not support, that does not support
-
that. And so if you you need to be
-
able to read the beginning and the end, the beginning is
-
Genesis 12 before the fall and then Revelation is 21 and 22
-
what takes place after The devil is thrown into the bottomless
-
pit are not. The bomb wasn't thrown into the
-
Lake of Fire, which is the second death and then all those
-
that never called on the name of the Lord, when that he after,
-
that event takes place, the great white, Throne judgment.
-
Some other events are going to take place and it's amazing when
-
you get over to Revelation. 21 that all the sudden he says that
-
he'll make a new Heaven and a new Earth.
-
Well, if we're going to live in heaven forever, why is a new
-
Earth being made? Made.
-
Amen. So, it requires us then, to
-
rightly divide the word of Truth and start from the beginning and
-
go all the way to the end of the book.
-
Amen. So we see then.
-
Also, when it comes to beginnings, John 1:1 says this.
-
He says, in the beginning was the was the word and the Word
-
was with God. And the Word was God.
-
Now, who is the word? What's his name?
-
What's his name? Jesus.
-
Oh, Jesus was in the He was in the beginning, he was in the
-
beginning. So Jesus has been in the earth
-
before sin entered. I said before sent end entered
-
and there was a way the Earth was to function based upon the
-
design because the word was in the beginning.
-
Are you hearing me the word was in the beginning?
-
The word is a part of creation. Look at Romans 1:20 says for
-
since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his
-
eternal power and divine. What nature ER, have been
-
clearly seen being understood through what has been made so
-
that they are without excuse. We can just tell by what we see
-
in creation that there is God. Now, what I like about this
-
verse is it says that he has eternal power, but he also has a
-
divine nature. What is his nature?
-
What is the nature of God? Now, I think we would say love
-
obviously because God is love when we've taught a whole lot on
-
love recently. Have we not?
-
Amen. But we also and we know this
-
because God is love and the word is God.
-
So then the word is love. And the word Never by elates
-
love. Neither does love ever.
-
Violate the word? They're never in opposition to
-
one another. Are you hearing me, but there's
-
a divine nature with God. Will, you know what he saw?
-
Verne, 1st Timothy Chapter 6 verse 15 calls him.
-
A potentate in the king in the new King James that just means
-
he's Sovereign, he has divine power.
-
He's the king of and the Lord of.
-
So, his divine nature. Nature, is that of the king?
-
Now, here's the thing. We love Savior.
-
Jesus. Because we know according to
-
Genesis 3, there's a fall sin has entered the world and all of
-
us have sinned and Fallen, what short of the glory of God.
-
But the reality is, is that most of us love Savior Jesus, because
-
we don't want to go to hell for all of our wrongdoing.
-
But Lord, Jesus is a whole nother ball game.
-
Do you know you can be saved by from.
-
You can be saved by someone. You don't like All right, you
-
know someone can save you that you don't ever hang out with.
-
Nor have a relationship with. Jesus saved us from death.
-
But that doesn't guarantee relationship, amen.
-
Everyone loves the preaching of Savior.
-
But we know here at anchor Faith Church if Adam had never eaten
-
the fruit Jesus never would have come as Savior.
-
Never Woulda came, but he's always been Lord.
-
I said he's always been Lord. Lord is not a religious word.
-
It means Supreme and authority. And Jesus has always had supreme
-
authority. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
You know what, John chapter 18 gives us an Insight of his
John 18 chapter mention
-
divine nature, as well. Because we focus so much on the
-
lamb that was slain. And is he the lamb?
-
That was slain? Yes, saviors.
-
What he did Lord is who he is. And there's a difference.
-
There's a difference. Jesus was talking a pilot at the
-
time of his crucifixion that he has been handed over to him by
-
his, the chief priest, and his nation.
-
And so pilate is carrying on a conversation with him will pick
-
up in the 33rd verse of John chapter 18.
John 18 chapter mention
-
And it says, when pilate entered in to have a conversation with
-
Jesus, he asked this question, are you a religious figure
-
bringing Christianity? No, he said, are you the king of
-
the Jews? Now, this pilot know who a king
-
is, does pilot have a king? Pilot does his name, Caesar
-
because pilot was the governor of Rome pilot is a government
-
guy and appointed official, from Rome into the territory of
-
Jerusalem where he was to make sure that the inhabitants of
-
Jerusalem conform to the culture of Rome.
-
That was the assignment of the governor that he was to enforce
-
the laws of the And that he was not living in.
-
He wasn't in Italy, he was in Israel, he wasn't in the city of
-
Rome. He was in Jerusalem but he was
-
functioning in Jerusalem as though he was in Rome.
-
That's where the adage is When in Rome do as the Romans do,
-
right? Because they're became some
-
Rebellion, see wrong did something.
-
No other country did before them when other countries came in and
-
conquered land or conquered another Nation.
-
They would strip the land of all of its resources, they would
-
take the people captive and bring them back to their home
-
country or to their capital and they would force them as slaves.
-
But wrong did not get into the relocation program wrong.
-
When they conquered said I'll send people a governor and 300
-
citizens. Plus an army that will enforce
-
our culture in the land and strip them of their identity
-
where they're at. They'll become Romans without
-
ever having to see Rome. And when this government hit the
-
Lord said, it's time for Jesus to come because that looks like
-
the original intent of what I expected say.
-
Well what do you mean Pastor? Well what did Jesus pray, pray.
-
Jesus said now, when you pray pray this way.
-
Our father, whose father not just his but ours are father.
-
Your kingdom, come your will be done on on.
-
On Earth as it is in God, always intended, Heavens realm, to be
-
in the earth realm that its culture in heaven, would
-
manifest on the earth. That's why when God created, Man
-
In His Image, according to his lightness, the culture of the
-
earth prior to the fall. Look like heaven on Earth.
-
Hallelujah. And Adam looked like his God.
-
Praise the Lord Jesus. Then in answering this he says
-
to Him. Are you speaking on your own
-
initiative or did others tell you about me now?
-
What's the implication here? Did you figure out?
-
I was a king on your own or did somebody tell you as a king?
-
He did not say I'm not a king. I'm the lamb.
-
That was slain. I'm a nobody.
-
No, he goes on policies. I'm not a Jew.
-
Emma. Your own Nation Chief priest
-
delivered, you to me. What have you done?
-
Jesus says what? My now.
-
He is acknowledging. He has a kingdom kingdom.
-
If you split the word means Kings Dominion.
-
So, Jesus is admitting, I am a king of a domain.
-
He says my kingdom is not of this world.
-
Now most people like there it is.
-
See the Kingdom's not on the earth.
-
That's not what Jesus saying. Let's go on.
-
He says my kingdom is not of this world.
-
If my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would be
-
fighting. So that I would not be handed
-
over to the Jews, but as it is, my kingdom is not of this realm.
-
What he's saying is my kingdom does not operate like worldly
-
kingdoms. My kingdom is not of this world.
-
It's not of the systems that you are used to.
-
As a king, I don't function like the kings of the Earth.
-
He said, if I function like the kings of the earth, my Army are
-
my servants. Would not, let me be handed over
-
now. You understand?
-
He's saying this after Peter has cut off a man's ear in the
-
garden. Right.
-
He cuts off the high priest servant's ear.
-
The Lord says, put your sword away.
-
If you live by the sword, die by the sword, he heals the guy's
-
ear and then he says this to Peter, don't you know?
-
That I could call a legion of angels down.
-
What's he saying? I can call my Army, my special
-
forces. If I function like the world's
-
Kings, I would bring my Army. Now, he has released some angels
-
in our history book in the document of of who we are as a
-
culture. There was one angel that came
-
down to help Israel when they were fighting the nation of the
-
midianites. And the Bible says one Angel
-
just one conquered 185,000 men. Just one if he brought a legion
-
and Allegiance anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 soldiers, I mean,
-
we're talking smoking the planet people.
-
Are you hearing me? I mean he could conquer it by
-
right of bringing his army but then he would be the only man
-
alive. He said my kingdom is not of
-
this realm pilate said. So you are a king.
-
Look, what Jesus says, Jesus says you say what you say, what
-
that? I am a king, man.
-
We love Savior Jesus. We love the lamb.
-
That was slain before the foundations of the world, but we
-
are not used to his kingship. But Jesus did not come just to
-
savior of the world, he came as king.
-
The only King, who could save because he's looking for a
-
nation, a nation. God, always intended that he
-
would have. Are you hearing me?
-
He goes, he said you say correctly that I'm a king for
-
this. I've been bored and for this I
-
have coming to the year Earth to testify to the truth, everyone
-
who is of the truth, hears my voice and Essence everything
-
you're seeing now in the seen Realm.
-
In the realm of sight hearing, smelling touching, whatever
-
other since I just missed off tasting, the you are ruled by
-
your sight, but I'm going to bring you a kingdom that you
-
don't have to live by sight. You can live by faith.
-
Now, Faith sound spiritual, but faith is not a spiritual word.
-
Be honest with you because faith comes by hearing and hearing
-
from the word of God. In essence, faith is the natural
-
Natural way of causing the Kings voice to materialize.
-
What he says in this scene planet?
-
Are you hearing me? We always all of us are
-
functioning this way with our own government.
-
March was my birthday. Thank you for all your gifts.
-
I appreciate it, but I received while I was gone over to Naples
-
to do our Rhema ministers conference.
-
That when I got back home I had a letter from the from Flagler
-
County. From the government office, I
-
opened it up and it has this little yellow sticker.
-
And on that yellow, sticker says 24.
-
And then it has my license. My tag number printed on it.
-
I will take this little sticker. I will put it on my camper.
-
And it will be authorized in, right?
-
Standing it will be righteous with the government and
-
communicates to the law enforcement if they ever pull up
-
behind me that I can legally pull this thing around.
-
By faith. I believe the words on that
-
little yellow sticker has the power to keep the law from
-
pulling me over. I read it and it tells me this
-
is my tag for the next year. Because currently right now if I
-
was to go get my camper and pull it off the property, it would be
-
illegal I would be in sin, okay? How would the governing
-
authorities know I was in sin? They'd say that's the 23.
-
This person's this expired on his birthday March, 11 expires
-
on your birthday, not at the end of the month they change that.
-
You need to know that I thought you got to the end of the month.
-
That's not true. When your birthday hits?
-
It's expired. That means you're in sin.
-
Because sin is simply disobeying the governing Authority.
-
So I'm not pulling it off the property in sin, I'll just cover
-
it. I'll cover the 23 with a 24.
-
I got another word for it. I got a word for it this year
-
and it has the power. The power that I can freely go
-
anywhere in the United States with him.
-
I do not have to take the individual that is over that
-
area Department of Motor Vehicles, with me they do not
-
have to sit in my vehicle and verify, okay?
-
So when we say faith were saying, what does the king say?
-
And when we live according to that, we're authorized We're
-
authorized so Jesus knows. He's a king because he has a
-
divine nature. His divine nature is that of a
-
king. Look at this, in Colossians
-
1:16, it says, is for by him. All things were created both in
-
the heavens and on Earth, visible and invisible, whether
-
Thrones, or dominions or rulers or authorities.
-
All things have been created through him.
-
And for him, notice Jesus did not create one religion.
-
He created Thrones Thrones her and kingdoms, not religions, he
-
created dominions that is areas by which someone rules over, he
-
created rulers those, that would rule domains, he created
-
authorities, those who are authorized to speak on behalf of
-
the King in the area. They are authorized to rule and
-
have dominion over Hallelujah. Ouya and all things were created
-
through him and for him, Praise the Lord.
-
So we see here that Jesus is the creator.
-
He's in the beginning, the word is in the beginning, the Bible's
-
the beginning and the end. Let's quit reading and only
-
preaching from the middle. Let's make sure our middle is in
-
context with our beginning and end Genesis 1:1 says, in the
-
beginning, God, Created the heavens and the Earth.
-
Right, and if you continue to read this, from here on down all
-
the way up to verse 26. So through that, there's a
-
recurring theme that takes place.
-
And the recurring thing is this, then God said, and it was then
-
God said, and it was so what we see here is, it's a
-
precedent-setting of bid. It's the first time that we
-
recognize God's divine nature when it comes to Creation.
-
That cause he's King because he's ruler because he has
-
dominion and a kingdom. When he speaks, it happens, when
-
he says it comes to pass. The reason why many people
-
struggle with the things Jesus say is because they only view
-
him as a savior and not as a king.
-
Because when they view him only as a savior, then they'll
-
question his capacity. Why, is that what capacity am I
-
talking about? Well now you saved me from my
-
sins so that I don't die and go to hell and when I leave my body
-
I'll be present with you in heaven but now to heal my body.
-
Not sure you want to do that. To prosper me.
-
I'm not sure you want to do that because all that really matters
-
is that I asked you to come to my heart and save me.
-
So when I die, I go to heaven but that is not all that
-
matters. That's just the door into the
-
kingdom. Jesus says, I'm going to show
-
you the entrance. Because I'm not I'm not taking
-
you out of something and then you have nothing while you
-
remain in the Earth. The way into the kingdom that
-
will now dominate. The Earth is through the blood
-
of Jesus. You must be born again.
-
What's he saying? Literally it means born from
-
above, in essence. He's saying you cannot buy your
-
citizenship. You have to become a born
-
citizen of my kingdom and you can through the blood.
-
I said you can't through the blood, you can't through the
-
blood, think about it right now, anyone in the world that wanted
-
the United States to be their citizenship if they could go
-
back in time. And place themselves in another
-
womb in the US. For many of them they wouldn't
-
have the struggles that they're having to get over here.
-
But why do they want to come anyway because they're here and
-
it's the land of opportunity. It's a place where you can
-
provide for your family. It's the is the place of
-
Freedom. This is what they're hearing
-
from far away and they'll risk their own lives to get to a
-
better Nation. Yet the Lord's, like, you don't
-
have to leave Brazil, you don't have to leave Cuba.
-
You don't have to leave. Nicaragua, you don't have to
-
leave, Iraq. All you.
-
Got to do is be born of my kingdom, and I'll bring my
-
kingdom to your territory, Hallelujah.
-
Because my kingdom is actually a global Kingdom.
-
It was the only one that was ever supposed to be here and
-
it's the only one that will ever remain.
-
Hallelujah. So we see here, the king speaks
-
and it's done. He did not just die for us.
-
He restored us, he redeemed us he made us in Christ.
-
Christ is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word Messiah,
-
which is the anointed one and his anointing.
-
And that just means the king because when Samuel went God
-
reject when Israel rejected God is their King reads.
-
First Samuel chapter 8, he had Samuel.
1 Samuel 8 chapter mention
-
Anoints all In essence, gave him kingship.
-
Jesus was anointed. What did Jesus say in Luke
-
chapter, 18, the spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has.
-
He has, he has? When did that anointing come
-
when John put him down in the Jordan River.
-
Pulled him back up. The Holy Spirit came out of
-
Heaven fell upon him like a descended upon him like a dove.
-
And the anointing hit him without measure and God said
-
this is my son in whom I'm well pleased in essence, he announced
-
Here's the king. The king is here.
-
The king is here. The king is here.
-
The king is here. John the Baptist did not was not
-
announcing a savior alone. He said repent for the Kingdom
-
of Heaven is at hand one time. He said there is the Lamb that
-
takes away the sins of the world.
-
He acknowledged that there's something about his life that
-
will help us get into Redemption, but he recognized
-
more importantly, this guy carries the kingdom.
-
Look what it says. In Psalms chapter 33 verse 4
-
through 9, assists for the word of the Lord is upright.
-
In all his work is done in faithfulness, he loves
-
righteousness and Justice. Don't even act like you, what?
-
You want, Justice more than God. The Earth is full of the loving,
-
kindness of the Lord, by the word of the Lord, the heavens
-
were made and by the breath of his mouth, all their hosts.
-
He gathers, look at this, the Waters of the sea together as a
-
heap, he lays up the deeps in storehouses, let all the Earth
-
fear, the lord, let all the inhabitants of the world stand
-
in awe of him for he spoke and it was done.
-
He what he? What he commanded and it stood
-
fast glory to God. Well, that lets us know, when
-
ecclesiastical 8:4. I've already alluded to this.
-
And then over in verse 5 it says this where the word of the king
-
is, there is power. One translation says Authority,
-
then verse 5, he who keeps his command command will experience
-
nothing. Harmful now, that doesn't mean
-
you won't go through trials and tribulations but it won't be
-
able to destroy you. Take you out, bring you down.
-
Yay though. You may want through the valley
-
of the shadow of death. You will fear.
-
No evil for his rod and his staff.
-
They comfort you, you will go all the way through.
-
True. Because when you stay with the
-
command of the Lord, it'll come to pass.
-
Bobbles about a king, his kingdom.
-
And his role Offspring, it's always been about that because
-
in the beginning, God demonstrated his kingship By
-
speaking and it happened. The Earth did not resist him.
-
It only obeyed glory to God John your Genesis 1:26 you know but
-
we should read it again. Then God said this is his
-
decree. This is his will let us make man
-
in our image. According to our likeness, that
-
means a carbon copy you. You Adam by All Rights.
-
Was the son of God? Now, he's not God In the Flesh.
-
But he was a Son of God when you read genealogies in one of the
-
gospels and it goes down from where Jesus was born and it gets
-
back to Creation to Adam it says Adam the Son of God because he
-
looked just like him he could respond like him.
-
This is why after he was a started to breathe and move
-
around, God brought him all the animals and say now, you name
-
them and whatever he decreed them to be.
-
It was so so, and he said let them rule let them what have
-
religious exercises See Kumbaya hope that God will do come and
-
visit them on the Earth every once in awhile.
-
Let them rule over the fish of the sea over, the birds of the
-
sky, over the cattle over all the Earth and over every
-
creeping thing that creeps on the earth, God created, man in
-
his own image. In the image of God.
-
He created him what male and female he created them, and God
-
bless them. And God said to them, look what
-
he said. Be fruitful multiply fill the
-
Earth. Not feel heaven.
-
He wasn't like fill this Earth because there's going to come a
-
day. I want you actually come to
-
heaven. Fill the Earth and subdue.
-
It rule over the fish of the sea over, the birds of the sky.
-
Over every living thing that moves on the Earth.
-
So man was in the image of God created in his likeness and he
-
himself was to be ruler. God would rule in his realm
-
called Heaven and Man ruled in this realm called Earth and God
-
came down in the cool of the day.
-
Unhindered is God, Adam and Eve in the garden.
-
No sin, perfect existence. But again as I said, here's Adam
-
just to remind you. We've said these atom is
-
perfect, he is righteous. He is Holy, he is blameless.
-
He is without sin and God doesn't know he loves him. all
-
that was not enough for Adam to say, surely I love you because
-
of this The Lord says I want to know you love me.
-
Adam. So, is that Adam?
-
You can eat from any tree in the garden. but, The tree of the
-
knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat for the day.
-
You eat, you will surely die. Let's look at this in Genesis
Genesis 2 chapter mention
-
chapter 2. So you can see it yourself says
-
Genesis 2:15. Starts turning verse 15 says,
-
then the Lord God. The Lord God took the man and
-
put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivating.
-
Keep it, then the Lord God. What, what did he do?
-
The Lord, God made a suggestion. The Lord says on any given day
-
when you're feeling it. the Lord said now if you're not too tired
-
from cultivating and keeping, because, you know, Maybe you
-
just don't want to go to a tree that's a little bit further out
-
from The Middle. The Lord God made a suggestion.
-
Well, that's my opinion. Are you hearing me, you know, in
-
our society today we have a hard time when people just get
-
commanded to do something. Don't tell me what to do.
-
Oh, your rebellious. The most dangerous word in the
-
kingdom is independence. the second most dangerous word is is
-
rebellion because the minute you want to become independent of
-
God, you will Rebel See, but his words are life.
-
I said his words are life and all he wants is Adam just
-
demonstrate. You love me every day.
-
By keeping my word. What did Jesus say?
-
He said this, he says, you'll know that they're my disciples
-
because of the love for the Brethren, right?
-
And he says, if you love me, you will keep my word.
-
And we've turned love into a Feeling.
-
When in God's eyes Love Is You obeying?
-
Then the Lord God commanded, the man saying from any tree of the
-
garden, you may eat freedom but of the tree of the knowledge of
-
Good and Evil, you shall not eat for in the day that you eat it.
-
You will surely die. That's why we say, if Adam had
-
never eaten the fruit, where would he be today?
-
He be on this planet. He would have never
-
transitioned. He would have never gone into a
-
grave. He would have never died.
-
He would be right here. We would be able to go over and
-
talk to him. We would actually all be a
-
nation. Of holy people.
-
Of the king kind. Because he would have reproduced
-
after his own kind. But Adam ate the fruit.
-
So when Adam ate the fruitless was listen.
-
He did not lose. He Adam lost the kingdom, not a
-
religion. So therefore, the Redemptive
-
work of the Creator, would be the re-establishment of his
-
kingdom on Earth. Because God is obligated to his
-
word. He said the word that goes forth
-
from my mouth it shall not return unto me what void?
-
But it shall accomplish that which I was sent to do, did God
-
decree and declare man would have dominion he did.
-
So when Adam fell from Dominion, God in Genesis 3 says I'm going
-
to bring my seat through the woman because I'm going to have
-
what I say in essence. There's an amendment.
-
Because here love Came Down. Into the garden.
-
Adam has hidden himself in his religion.
-
That's what fig leaves were you trying to cover up that which
-
doesn't allow you to get in his presence.
-
Adam started religion. He was searching a way for him
-
to look or to be that when God shows up, he could be in his
-
presence, be accepted, but when he came in, he was afraid even
-
in all this coverings. And he hit himself, I said he
-
hit himself. God said, where are you now?
-
That doesn't mean he couldn't find him, you know, that that
-
just means he's like where what position are you in now?
-
Right? Well position.
-
And so, at that point, God says, now, how many times does Adam
-
made a mistake God is love. Does love forgive.
-
Then why didn't God just come and say son?
-
Wow, I hate that this happened. I'll just forgive you.
-
Let's act like, it didn't happen again, don't eat again.
-
Love, did not do that. Love did not stop death from
-
coming because love said death would come.
-
If you do this love created the condition for death to manifest
-
and Adam brought death in Soul of could not change that nor
-
could love let it go because love has to do what love says it
-
to do and love, put his son and his wife out of the garden.
-
But he had a plan, I'm going to bring my seed through a virgin
-
now. That's not recorded that Adam
-
and Eve had girls, but seriously, they obviously had
-
females You can't have a bunch of guys and all of a sudden
-
they'll be no other way to populate the planet because when
-
guys sleep together, they do not procreate.
-
Don't happen. This joke, I don't do jokes, but
-
I'm gonna bring it up right now. Scientists came to the Lord and
-
said, you know, we can do anything.
-
You can do, we've learned how to clone, man, we can do it, you
-
know, we don't need, we don't need, you don't need anything
-
about you. We figured it out.
-
So they grab some dirt. He says you go get your own
-
dirt. So again when sign says, yeah,
-
man can have a child. Well, where'd you get the egg
-
that you inseminated in him? Go get you on egg.
-
Are you hearing me? if everybody just went with the
-
same sex, the generation would die, the whole planet would
-
cease to exist in a generation you want to kill everybody off,
-
just sleep with somebody that looks like you.
-
All right. Well, praise the Lord.
-
So it's obviously a conflict to God's design.
-
He said be fruitful and multiply so, when people say, God made me
-
this way, that's a lie because that goes against the order of
-
how he called, man, because the enemy comes to kill, steal, and
-
destroy, and he wants to eliminate The human race.
-
So here convinced you don't be fruitful and multiply so I just
-
eliminate you. Hallelujah.
-
Adam did not lose a religion, a man.
-
We're talking Christianity, Christianity, Christianity
-
Christianity. And Jesus don't even talk about
-
Christianity. Jesus just talks about the
-
kingdom. Jesus said, the Kingdom of
-
Heaven is like this. And the kingdom of God is like
-
that. Every time he publicly preached,
-
he said, the kingdom of God is like this and the kingdom of God
-
is like that Jesus never publicly preached be born again.
-
He preached it one time. Spoke to one guy.
-
One guy named Nicodemus in John chapter 3, about to clock in the
John 3 chapter mention
-
morning. When he's like, man, you got to
-
be from God. He says, unless a man is born
-
again, he shall not enter the kingdom.
-
Jesus was saying why you're born again.
-
He didn't say, unless a man is born again, he can't get to
-
heaven. He didn't say it.
-
He said, unless a man is born again.
-
He cannot see the kingdom. He can't enter the kingdom
-
because what's this? This is about a kingdom.
-
This is a not by this is not about you, going to heaven.
-
Now at the end of the day before, you know you won't throw
-
stones at me. I am not saying that you don't
-
go to heaven. The Bible is very clear to be
-
absent. From the body is to be what
-
present with the Lord. Notice it said, present with the
-
lord. Well where's the Lord presently?
-
He's in heaven. He's seated at the right hand of
-
the father. So when I leave this suit, I'll
-
be Present with the Lord but you know, Jesus is coming back.
-
I said Jesus is coming back. He's going to come back and call
-
the rest of us that our stat remain change Us in the moment
-
in the twinkling of an eye, will get caught up together with him
-
in the air. And then we'll go do the
-
marriage supper of the Lamb. He'll reward us for our
-
obedience to him win in our lordship existence while we were
-
separated physically from him in this Earth, but then after that,
-
period, he will return. Turn with us to the Earth and he
-
will reign on the same planet with the Saints for a thousand
-
years. And in those Thousand Years, sin
-
will still be on the Earth. I'll Never See sin again.
-
When I die. Not true.
-
Not true. You won't be subject to it, but
-
you'll see it. You'll see it in other humans.
-
During the Thousand Year, Millennial reign of Jesus.
-
Just read the back of the book. And then after he releases the
-
devil, after that thousand years, you know, throws him into
-
the bottomless pit, but then releases him for time.
-
And he calls his all the nation to rebel against Jesus who's
-
physically on the planet, he doesn't come back as a suffering
-
servant people, he's coming back as the king who Reigns.
-
He comes back with a scepter of iron.
-
Love Comes To Rule. Amen.
-
And then he'll Wipe Out the enemy and those who sided with
-
him. He'll judge the dead.
-
Casts all into the Lake of Fire who are not whose names are not
-
written in the Lamb's Book of Life, he'll throw all the ones
-
that were reserved. The Angelic spirits that left
-
their proper do Abode Hill released, he'll throw them in
-
there. The false prophet, the Beast,
-
Satan himself, And then he will create a new Heaven and new
-
earth. The Bible says, the New
-
Jerusalem will come down out of Heaven to the Earth.
-
So all this religion that keeps trying to get us to get to
-
heaven, the Lord's. Like, I'm trying to come to the
-
Earth. See, kingdom is not a religion,
-
but a government. It was never God's plan to
-
establish religion. We said this last week, but it
-
Bears repeating right now. Religion, preoccupies, man,
-
until he finds the kingdom. Religion is What man does until
-
he finds the kingdom. That means you're trying to do
-
something to try to get God to be impressed with you, so that
-
when you die, you won't be eternally judged the kingdom
-
prepares man to leave her. I mean, religion, prepares, man
-
to leave Earth but the kingdom, empowers man to dominate her.
-
Religion focuses on heaven, but the kingdom focuses on the
-
earth. I know I'm going to heaven.
-
I know I'll be present with the Lord.
-
I know I'll be caught up together with him.
-
I got that, but until that day comes, I'm making an impact here
-
because God wants to make an impact here.
-
And God wants to demonstrate to the world who he is through his
-
sons and daughters, who are the kings of the Earth.
-
Religion is reaching up to God. The kingdom is God coming down
-
to man? I mean all we got to do is read
-
the Bible before sin entered, what did God do?
-
He came down, he never said, Adam, get up here.
-
I want to talk to you. He came down after he fell, he
-
would come down in a pillar. Of cloud or Pillar of Fire.
-
He come down as as the anointing upon the prophet priest and
-
King, He would come down, he would come down.
-
Then he came down in Jesus. Then he came down with the Holy
-
Ghost and now we are the Temple of the Holy Ghost.
-
Jesus is name was Emmanuel, which is what God can't wait to
-
see you. The god of Heaven wish you were
-
up here. No God With Us where you at, on
-
the earth, God's always coming down.
-
And yet religion gets you so focused on leaving that you're
-
no earthly good for the kingdom. You just can't wait to get you.
-
The sweet bomba sing and I told him.
-
No. When we all get to heaven, what
-
a day of rejoicing that would be?
-
Well, I don't have to wait, I can Rejoice.
-
Now I can Rejoice now cause I got the Holy Ghost on the
-
inside. I got the joy of the Lord right
-
here. I can have full Joy right now.
-
I can experience God right now, I can have Heaven.
-
Invade me right now. I just Rejoice now Why are you
-
waiting to have a day rejoice? And there's rejoice in in you
-
right now. You how's the third person of
-
the godhead greater? Is he that's in you than he does
-
in the world that you ought to rejoice?
-
Yeah, the spirit of the king is on the inside of you.
-
Wow! Religion wants you to escape
-
Earth the kingdom, impacts influences and changes the
-
earth. Religion wants you to take Earth
-
to heaven, but the kingdom brings Heaven to Earth.
-
The king's words are not suggestions, but commands and
-
they are expected to be obeyed. Jesus said in John 3:3, you must
-
be born again. Well, I would really like for
-
you to be born again. That be preferable. you know, if
-
you have time, why don't you get born again?
-
I mean to be born again, yeah, maybe It is not really necessary
-
because I'm going to pour out my blood for everybody anyway.
-
Take care of all that sin. Yeah, but you must be you can't
-
even have the life of God unless you do something.
-
You can't have what love paid for.
-
Unless you do something, you have to meet the condition love
-
set for you to be born again. You do love does not make you
-
born again, although it's provided for you to be born
-
again. Which means people who go into
-
the Lake of Fire go because they did not meet the condition that
-
the Lord required for salvation. It won't be golf problem.
-
Is theirs. He said this we are commanded to
-
love one another in John 15 17 says this, I command you, that
-
you love one another. That's pretty amazing.
-
I'd our state, you know why? There's so much backbiting and
-
churches, because their religious places because you
-
think you can look across the out your brother and be offended
-
with them and because they done you wrong and you don't have to
-
love them, you don't have to forgive them, you can be upset
-
with them. You can treat them with content.
-
You know what they did? You know how they hurt someone
-
so, you know, how they messed up such and such You know what they
-
did to my family know how they affected me.
-
Jesus says, it's not an option for you to sit like that. he
-
said that I forgive you then you must forgive Commands.
-
It it's not an option. It's not an option for you to
-
sit here and, you know, you got a problem with somebody.
-
But it is when he's just savior well he say me, I'm going to go
-
to heaven when I die. You know, that's all that
-
matters. So I really don't have to
-
because I'm not going to do that.
-
Lord, you know that hurt. Surely, you're not going to make
-
me do that. No, he's gonna he's require now.
-
He won't make you do it but he'll hold you accountable to
-
what you're not doing, okay? He said this seek first, the
-
kingdom, in Matthew 6:33, but seek first, his kingdom, and his
-
righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
-
That's a command seat first. Well, when you have time, I know
-
you're busy. You're working hard.
-
You have a job. I get it.
-
Jesus is not saying that. Now you're religious.
-
Jesus is saying that now Jesus, you know how hard it is for me.
-
I'll come and, you know, show up, you know, once a month and
-
you know, cuz I understand you died for me.
-
I mean, I can give you 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Right. I appreciate that but you know,
-
I got a lot going on. I'm very busy, Jesus.
-
I know you're going to love me. He tells us how to love him,
-
know what you going to do is you're going to love me with all
-
when I can't give you all know you understand.
-
I got some other stuff going on here with all your heart.
-
I gave him my heart. Lord I give you my I say
-
people's think they, I gave you my heart.
-
Well, he said, you're gonna love me with all your heart, all your
-
soul, soul is where your mind will intellect motions.
-
So, you'll act the fool emotionally and like, Lord, you
-
got to understand what I'm going through right now.
-
He's like, I understand you. Shut your mouth.
-
Listen to my spirit and get you emotions intact.
-
That's what I understand. What I understand is that if you
-
actually gave me your whole heart, I should get your whole
-
soul which means the way you think I should be the dominant
-
thinker. You should renew your mind to my
-
way of thinking because you're a king.
-
Your Royal quit living like a slave.
-
Quit being bound to stinkin Thinkin.
-
I didn't create you to be stuck there.
-
I made you a new creature in Christ.
-
I've seeded you in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
-
I've made you royalty. You are no longer a slave, but
-
you are a, royal you now are in my kingdom and are my nature.
-
And I totally Reeve wire the way you think and it's not optional.
-
I'm off all your soul, all your mind and all your.
-
I'm too tired to come to church. Pastor.
-
Why'd you give you strength to the world.
-
So you give God leftovers. Just go ahead and smile.
-
Anyway what's so great about this church?
-
And I'm only talking to the people on YouTube right now.
-
Amen. That's why they're not here
-
today because it was an option if they live in our town.
-
Right others. You know I get it because they
-
live in other states. But it's amazing how we don't
-
recognize his lordship. I'm going to preach on lordship
-
next week, we love Savior Jesus. So if we claim to be as
-
followers and call him Lord, we must obey But that's us making a
-
conscious decision. Yes, Lord, I'll do it.
-
Well, he's just a dictator. No, he's life.
-
Because he's not a dictator, he'll let you choose death.
-
A dictator will only make you do what he says.
-
Jesus says, I present to you life and choose because I'm
-
giving you life, so choose it. But if you choose not to have it
-
you'll get the alternative Adam eat from any tree in the garden.
-
You have more options. Then the one in the middle.
-
To be with me, there is way more.
-
Are you hear me? What Adam should have done when
-
the snake came in the serpent? He should have said, shut up and
-
get out of the garden. How do we know he could have
-
done it? Because Jesus said in Matthew, I
-
saw Satan fall, like, lightning from Heaven because when Satan
-
wanted to lift his throne above the most high in Isaiah, chapter
Isaiah 14 chapter mention
-
14 and created a rebellion in towards his Kingdom in Heaven.
-
God cast him out. Adam had the same Authority that
-
God, he could have said get out of the garden.
-
The Lord already authorized me. He said keep it He didn't have
-
to say somebody's coming to take your Dominion, he already gave
-
him the word, keep it. Rule over everything on the
-
earth creeping. Things were one of them.
-
The serpent was kind of creepy. But he entertained that voice.
-
So if we claim to be Father's followers and call him, Le we
-
must obey him. Otherwise, he is not Lord.
-
And we will never find the kingdom and never experience the
-
Fulfillment of our life purpose. It's amazing.
-
How many people? We'll live.
-
Left's lives. Because they don't truly make
-
him Lord so much. So that I am actually really
-
concerned that some are actually in the Kingdom at all.
-
So Pastor I could you say that I'm not judging them, but all I
-
know is the scripture says that we are to call on the name of
-
the Lord, to be saved. We are to have him and supreme
-
authority. And the Lord himself will say,
-
when they come to him and say, didn't we say, Lord, Lord.
-
He said depart from me. I never knew you.
-
He says they confess me with their butt there.
-
And there's a lot of people have come down to the altar because
-
they realize, wow, I'm caught. I don't want to go to hell.
-
I don't want to serve Jesus. I just don't go to hell.
-
And being sorry for what you've done is not repentance.
-
I've had my own kids that said they were sorry.
-
Not because they actually were repentant is because they did
-
not want the consequence that's coming because of their
-
Disobedience. So they're looking for my Mercy.
-
But they're really just saying, I'll cover it up and do a better
-
time better job next time for not getting caught.
-
And that's how a lot of people who come to church.
-
How do I know? Because they hop from one Church
-
to the next. They jump to the next one.
-
Jump to the next one. Jump to the next one because
-
when God says, hey I'm going to deal with you.
-
One thing. I'm gonna deal with you.
-
One thing, there's one thing, you lack.
-
So, and there's one thing you lack.
-
Honey. There's one thing.
-
You lack daughter. There's one thing you lie.
-
Yeah, you're doing it all with your mouth.
-
You're looking like, you got it. Your religion man.
-
Looks like you love God more than anybody but your heart is
-
far from me. I'm not Lord.
-
Sometimes we have Justified ourselves, which is really
-
living the deceive life when we determine with our minds, which
-
words from the King to obey and which ones we deem unnecessary
-
kind of like the one when he says, do not forsake the
-
assembling of yourselves together.
-
Hallelujah. I got to work three or four
-
jobs, man. I just can't make it a church.
-
Why don't you work one? Get into God's economic system
-
by tithe and offering. And don't miss church and watch
-
him. Bring you increase.
-
Can it be uncomfortable? Yes.
-
But if you'll actually trust him instead of your own ability, you
-
might find yourself somewhere better.
-
Obedience produces righteousness.
-
Are you hearing me? In Romans chapter 4 verse 22. 22
-
it says, yet with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver
-
in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God and
-
being fully assured or fully persuaded one.
-
Translation says that God, that what God had promised he was
-
also he was able also to perform therefore, it was also credited
-
to him as righteousness. Righteousness, is not a
-
religious word, it's actually a legal term, which means right
-
positioning to be in correct alignment with the ruling
-
standard. The world functions in
-
righteousness. Every time they do, the speed
-
limit. Because that is the ruling
-
standard of the highway. You'll never have to sweat when
-
you pass the state trooper that sitting in a median, if you're
-
doing. you will slam on the brakes when you see the state
-
trooper in the median, Go ahead and just say, Amen, because I
-
know how you drive. Don't think I ain't gonna little
-
bit over 2. I mean, I've gone a lot over
-
actually sometimes. Amen.
-
But I know I'm risking at the end the day and I wouldn't be
-
like arguing. You know you?
-
Yeah yeah, I was And I'm going to have to pay the price, I get
-
it. The difference between I are you
-
know, Florida Highway Patrol is that they only see you when The
-
Radars out and you go by their spot, but God sees you all the
-
time, every time. And with God, it's even a little
-
bit different because God does it like this.
-
You're driving the speed limit. He sitting in the squad car he's
-
clocking you and then he comes out and runs you down.
-
Now you looking confused because you like I was doing the speed
-
limit. You pull over and God gets out
-
of stock squad. Cars has give me your license
-
and registration. You said, what's the problem
-
Lord was doing the speed limit? He said, yeah, I know you were
-
doing it, but on the inside you wanted to speed So I'm writing
-
you up for that. You said he would do that.
-
If a man lusts after a woman in his own heart, even though he
-
doesn't commit the sin of adultery, he's committed to sin
-
of adultery. Yeah, amen.
-
I mean that's how our Lord is. So, what you thinking on the
-
inside you want to do? And you are a man.
-
If I get away to I do it I would do it.
-
I would do it. I'm doing the speed limit but I
-
would do it. The Lord's like fine, I'll just
-
give you a ticket for that, bro. Hallelujah, no righteousness is
-
a legal term Hey there ain't nothing better than being
-
righteous know, when you're in right standing with God, there's
-
no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, in that
-
amazing, that you can come in and church because you didn't do
-
something on Saturday night. They compromise, is your
-
relationship with God. You're not thinking thoughts
-
that are compromising your relationship with God.
-
You're not having hidden things that are comprehend, your free,
-
you can come and worship. You can see cuz, you know,
-
you're pure, let's add a Lord, I'm doing everything you've
-
asked me to do and I'm, you made me righteous in my Spirit.
-
And I'm a, I'm living it out in my soul, round my physical body.
-
I'm not doing anything that is against what you would say.
-
Because I have the capacity to always say, yes, Lord, I'll do
-
it your way. Romans for teen 17 says that
-
this way, for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,
-
although you go to some Churches, that's all they do is
-
eat and drink just say, Amen. Anyway.
-
And I'm not talking drinking, milk and coffee.
-
I'm talking stuff that affects their mind.
-
But the right, but the kingdom of God is righteousness peace
-
and joy in the Holy Ghost. See when you're righteous.
-
Peace is no problem. Peace, and joy follow
-
righteousness. Amen.
-
So don't come up in here and go. Wait a minute.
-
I've been made righteous in Christ.
-
Well if you're living wrong, then you're going to feel
-
condemned anyway. You can't be born again and be
-
sleeping around and feel holy. You can't be lying.
-
Hustling cheating, living a lawless life.
-
Yet born again and gods like he's okay with it, he's not okay
-
with it. In fact, he's like this is
-
unacceptable because then you as the capacity to do nothing
-
you're doing. I mean I know they do it.
-
I mean, they're cold, they can't help it, they're cut off.
-
And this guy here, he's made righteous and he's living it.
-
He's submitting his whole life to everything I say.
-
And he's living a pure life. But here you're lukewarm.
-
Because on the inside, you have, T to live exactly.
-
Like my kingdom says, but you living like, you still in sin,
-
I'm about to vomit. So don't let anybody do Pugh and
-
thinking that you shouldn't demonstrate the righteousness
-
you've been made. Well, God knows, I love him,
-
then do what he says. Let me tell you this one will
-
close. God's kingdom cannot be
-
separated from his righteousness, there's power and
-
righteousness. The first thing when you're
-
righteous, the government has a Rah.
-
There's governmental obligation when you are in right standing
-
with the King, he's obligated to take care of your life.
-
Obligated, there's governmental protection when you're in right
-
standing with the King, he's obligated to protect you,
-
there's governmental support when you are in right standing
-
with the King, he is obligated to support your life to uphold.
-
You in everything, there's governmental provision when you
-
are in right standing with the King, he provides you with
-
everything you need to accomplish the purpose.
-
He has assigned to your life. Number five, governmental
-
commitment when you're in, right standing with the king, the king
-
is committed to take care of you committed.
-
He said I'll never leave you nor forsake you.
-
He did not leave you on the earth so the devil can beat you
-
up and you can just can't wait to go to heaven.
-
No, he gave. You authority over that guy and
-
he's so far under your feet. It's not even comparable.
-
Number 6, governmental responsibilities, when you're
-
under the Kings Authority and in right relationship with The
-
King, The King has a place of responsibility towards you.
-
Number seven righteousness, activates the government.
-
When you are in right standing with the King, you activate the
-
entire machine of the government, the government is
-
focused on you. It does everything for you.
-
That's why Jesus said come State your case.
-
When you come and pray to me, go ahead and just tell me what I
-
said about you, bring it before me, bring my word back to me,
-
bring me back in remembrance of my word.
-
