Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
-
from st. Augustine, Florida.
-
Now enjoy this message. Reverend Doug Jones is an
-
instructor at Rhema Bible training College.
-
He's been there three decades. He was there when I was there.
-
I remember the first class that Pastor Marcy and I sat in as
-
Rhema students, we were a little late to class because we had to
-
drop off our children for preschool or one of them and we
-
pulled in and, you know, he's had started the class and, you
-
know, it's kind of like his Forte.
-
He has no problem with embarrassing you and so we
-
walked into class, you know, we had assigned seating back Then
-
first day class. First time, wherever there and
-
he goes, oh well, what are ya'lls names, right?
-
From the whole class. Right?
-
So I told him who we were and he goes where y'all from and we
-
said we were from Florida. Is everybody say Hello?
-
Darlin Marcy. Alright, yes, you're like
-
thanks. And you sat down you seat.
-
So he began the class was the ABCs of faith.
-
And as he began to kind of start first five minutes of class now
-
to bring you to, where I was at this point of my seat in the
-
seat that I was in the classroom.
-
I had been raised in the Baptist Church.
-
I had just recently, three years prior went to the Assembly of
-
God, where I learned about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and
-
never been taught that ever. I always knew there was
-
something more but I didn't know what it was.
-
And then an assembly God, Pastor, who had graduated from
-
Rhema showed me in the scripture where you could be filled with
-
the Holy Ghost. There was a an experience Beyond
-
with the Holy Spirit Beyond salvation beyond the new birth
-
experience. And so I had received that and
-
so, I could preach salvation because I was trained to preach
-
salvation. I was raised only to hear that,
-
you know, Jesus Christ, died and Rose from the grave and you must
-
ask him to come into your heart, to save you.
-
So when you die, you don't, you'll go to heaven and hell.
-
But then I found out about the power of the spirit which was
-
really amazing and began to move and experience the gifts again.
-
But the line of thinking was, you know, this is a little bit
-
more, a little more power. I have until I go to heaven one
-
day. And then I sat in this class and
-
I began to realize Faith was not just for those two experiences.
-
That Faith was bigger than that and I had preached a Revival and
-
the three years I was at the assembly.
-
God, in fact, I was actually the youth pastor there and we had
-
ministered, we had one teenage girl when we started doing youth
-
ministry at his church, before we left that church had over 75
-
teenagers into juvenile detention centers, were coming
-
to us. We were only at church about 150
-
and half of them were Youth and we had our own location, we
-
couldn't fit everybody at the church.
-
It was so small. I could put the first church.
-
We were in literally the whole building in this sanctuary.
-
And we would probably still have room for parking.
-
That's a true statement that building doesn't even exist in
-
that Community today. They tore it down, but I ended
-
up looking at my wife five minutes in and I said, I don't
-
even know the Bible. I realized I just didn't know
-
something. but the here Reverend Doug Jones say this thirty years
-
after teaching, It had me thinking I wonder if he read the
-
first chapter of my book, The Forest.
-
It had me thinking because here's the thing the reality is
-
there he represents in his testimony.
-
There probably 98% of all believers Probably 98% of all
-
believers. I'm talking on a Global
-
Perspective. because most of the the Christianity that is taught
-
today comes from the perspective of Genesis chapter 3, And that
Genesis 3 chapter mention
-
is when Adam fell. So the majority of teaching is
-
from that perspective, it is a current reality that is in the
-
Earth but it isn't a reality that always existed.
-
And so we have learned here that there is somewhere else we
-
should go in order for us to understand context. you know,
-
teachers are great at line upon line, but he said it so
-
eloquently that if you stay within one subject matter,
-
You'll get narrow. You'll get on One Tree and
-
preach that tree, you'll hug that tree.
-
And then miss the whole Forest, you're in.
-
Amen. But I'm thankful that God pulled
-
us away from tree hugging. Now don't get me wrong, I love
-
the trees, because if you didn't have trees, you wouldn't have
-
enforced. But we do have one but in
-
Revelations. 22 verses first 13. It says it this way and if we
-
would begin to preach according to this we would find ourselves
-
having a better context. He said I am the Alpha and the
-
Omega the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-
Now I find this interesting And because what he doesn't say is,
-
I'm the middle, I'm the middle now.
-
That doesn't mean he's not in the middle because if you're the
-
first and you become get to the last meaning, if you're the
-
beginning and you get to the end, well, there's a process to
-
get somewhere. But when it comes to the Bible,
-
if we know what the beginnings about, then we'll understand the
-
end because 98% of all believers because they their message is
-
our topic driven. And it's from the context of
-
Genesis 3, they only arrived to Revelations 20.
-
And so the end of their story is when we all get to heaven what a
-
day of rejoicing that will be amen.
-
Now, when we go to heaven. Yes.
-
But is that the end? It's not the end of the book and
-
it's not the end of the story. I said it's not the end of the
-
story. So when you base your whole life
-
in your belief in Jesus, that it's just about a destination,
-
Once you die, you'll miss God. even though he lives in you,
-
you'll miss the fullness of God and you'll live just a measure
-
better than the rest of the world.
-
Now what do I mean just to measure better?
-
I mean you'll have assurance that you'll be with God forever
-
but majority and have you noticed, have you been around
-
some Believers that profess Jesus as their savior that they
-
worry like the world. Although Jesus said don't worry.
-
They doubt like the world. They live in unbelief like the
-
world. They live in uncertainty, like
-
the world. Yet, I get it, there's a
-
profound peace, they have because they do no man to be
-
absent from my body. I'm going to be present with the
-
Lord. And that existing is different.
-
Make no mistake, but God did not send his son so that you would
-
have a guaranteed destination. Once you left your suit that
-
was, never God's intent. That's why Jesus said, I am the
-
Alpha and the Omega, the beginning, and the end, the
-
first and the last, the beginning, and the end you need
-
to know what I mean in the beginning.
-
So that you understand? What's To happen in the End.
-
Amen. And so it would do us good,
-
especially the US that know, the beginning and the end that we
-
remind ourselves of these things, but not everybody in the
-
sanctuary today or the more that I'm hearing are following on
-
YouTube. That they know the things that,
-
you know, See, one of the things that we do is once Revelation
-
hits. Then you must stir yourself up
-
to maintain passion. Of Revelation.
-
I realized this that the minute you hear something new for the
-
first time and it goes off in your spirit.
-
A truth has been revealed you've never seen before and it shakes
-
you it will Propel your life to a Direction but when that same
-
truth hits again because now you know it doesn't seem to have the
-
same effect. It will cause you saying you
-
know what, it's not like it was the first time well when you
-
were blind and you were in darkness and then the light came
-
on On, it's different. But when you walk in a room with
-
light, now it's not so surprising, but you're thankful
-
for it. I said, you've got to be
-
thankful for it. Amen.
-
Don't don't devalue the light that's now in the room, in
-
essence, be excited about it. What we need to do is say man
-
give me more illumination of what I already know.
-
So it continues to be clear because the ACT the reality is
-
about what will preach today is that we are still Even as much
-
as we have discovered, we are still looking through a lens
-
dim. It's not all been revealed yet.
-
It's not all been revealed and we want to become those that are
-
constantly hungry for the revealing of all that we are in
-
Christ so that we can function as God designed.
-
Because I'm convinced that when Jesus said, now I'm going to
-
come back for my church. Notice he's not coming back for
-
the Lost. He's made a way for the loss,
-
but he's coming back for the church.
-
And as I said in prayer, the next great event of God is not
-
the catching away of the church. The next Grady then of God is
-
the church mature functioning as God always intended for it to
-
function before he catches it away.
-
Are you hearing me, how do we know this?
-
The Bible talks about the early and latter rain and this was a
-
communication concerning an Agricultural Society.
-
When the Lord says, now listen, I'm going to give you the early
-
and latter rain. Well, what was the early rain?
-
Now in our society day is always about Best.
-
And that's an agricultural thought process.
-
But we see it in the realm of harvesting Souls.
-
But let's look at it in context. In context, the early rain is a
-
seed is planted in the ground. Now a seed unless it dies it
-
remains alone and its potential never comes out and it
-
definitely will never produce fruit.
-
So it must go in the ground and die and the early rain.
-
Saturates the soul so soil. So that that seed can break
-
forth all of what was it was intended to be in the first
-
place. If it's corn, corn plant can
-
come out. If it's oranges and orange tree
-
can come out, whatever it is, whatever fruit it was designed
-
to do once the, once we shed the shell of the seed, then it's
-
potential can now grow. And when that water, which is a
-
reflection of the word, it's the watering of the water of the
-
word, it just continues to help the plant, grow grow, grow.
-
Grow, but we're not here to grow plants.
-
We're here to grow fruit. Because a corn stalk with no
-
ears. Of corn is failure.
-
I said a corn stalk with no ears.
-
Of corn is failure and orange tree with no oranges is failure.
-
It may be green and it may provide shade but it's not
-
producing its fruit. So the latter rain was designed
-
not for seed. See by All rights conversion we
-
break out of what we were held in.
-
And now we become what we were always destined to be.
-
The latter rain is for the crop that's already growing and has
-
fruit on the vine. The latter rain is so it will
-
mature that fruit. So it's ready to pick.
-
Hallelujah. So the Lord's latter rain is for
-
the church. Now, here's the thing where we
-
are at, in our knowledge of God will determine the strength of
-
our fruit. so, when he pours out his Spirit on All Flesh on the
-
last days, if you're in the church, that all you are hearing
-
are subjects, Better in context to Genesis 32 Revelations. 20
-
that it will help you go up a level in your revelation of
-
Truth. So where can the law?
-
What can the Lord do for us? And what he's revealed.
-
Anchor feature churches. Are you hearing me now?
-
I would be more excited than that because when I realize what
-
I know that God has allowed me to know.
-
That that latter rain will cause us to walk in such a way that
-
they could almost confuse us with Jesus.
-
Your act, you're doing, just like Jesus.
-
You're Healing The Sick. Raising the dead.
-
Casting out death. I mean, at a moment, like, easy
-
for you. This is happening in Public's.
-
We're talking Home Depot, we're talking in-laws.
-
We're talking when we're getting our tags, renewed.
-
People in wheelchairs are coming out on a consistent basis with
-
everybody that's in the room. Because our God is not a liar.
-
He said the works that I do. And his works are not limited to
-
healings. He spoke to winds and waves.
-
He spoke to like he spoke to substance and said you're going
-
to have to make more. Oh, when the world saying
-
there's inflation, there's inflation, it just cost so much
-
to buy food. Well, talk to your food in your
-
cabinet, then go ahead and say rice, you need to multiply, I'm
-
not buying any more of you. Hallelujah.
-
Now that's not fantasy. He's the alpha, the Omega, the
-
first, and the last, the beginning, and the end.
-
And so we want to know God from Genesis 1:1.
-
All the way to Revelation is 2221.
-
And these are the things we preach.
-
Because of that. The Matthew 15 3 comes into play
-
for our lives and he answered and said why do you transgress
-
the Commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
-
If you have only been a study of topics or been associated with
-
congregations that only communicate trees Traditions are
-
true or soon to follow because as the man of God just said
-
Because I was a teacher that expounded on individual topics,
-
I still became narrow in my understanding of God.
-
Amen. That's why big picture preaching
-
is important. That doesn't mean that we
-
shouldn't go line upon line precept upon precept, we should
-
and we Endeavor to and we'll do it.
-
That's why in this church body, we don't just have a preacher.
-
We have teachers, we have the ones that can take and dissect
-
subjects, but when you get the big picture, then all of a
-
sudden it makes more sense in the dissecting Of those
-
particular subject. Same M and and in so it will
-
cause Traditions. Meaning, our interpretation of
-
God will be confronted with God's interpretation of himself.
-
That's ultimately what a tradition is.
-
A tradition is your interpretation of God,
-
confronting God's interpretation of himself, and if one needs to
-
be, let go of, which one do you think it is, is yours?
-
Well, no, Lord. I said, what I thought you were.
-
Well, that's not what I am. Actually, I'm this. amen so just
-
change your thinking side with God yeah but my aunt said this
-
about you My mama said this about you.
-
But God said well your mama got it wrong and some of you want
-
your mom's to get it wrong, you been want your mom to be wrong
-
for a long time, you know, cause everybody thinks mother's know
-
best well, they do if they're following the king rightly
-
dividing, his word, amen, sometime Mama's miss it.
-
God. Never misses it.
-
Amen. And you have the Holy Ghost on
-
the inside. So with that being said, let's
-
go to the beginnings. Now, I'm not talking Genesis yet
-
because there are references to the beginning not in Genesis.
-
Let's first start in Isaiah 45:18.
-
Isaiah 45:18, The New International Version says that
-
this way. It says, for what is for, this
-
is what the Lord says. He who created the heavens, he
-
is God. He Who fashioned and made the
-
Earth. He founded it and he did not
-
create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited.
-
So there's a reason why the Earth is here.
-
It's not out of boredom. It's not because God had nothing
-
else to do. God has a plan.
-
God always has a plan. Plan and God always fulfills his
-
plan because God were does something when God speaks it
-
does something. God, does not have casual
-
conversation when God speaks things happen.
-
And so here we see that God in the beginning, although it
-
doesn't say in the beginning, this gives a little more
-
insight. Can we know Genesis ones was in
-
the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
-
Isaiah, the prophet gives us a little more expansion of that
-
when he says, listen he created the heavens, he's got here
-
Fashioned and made the Earth but he formed it.
-
Not to be empty. But to be inhabited which tells
-
us when he created the Earth, he had a plan in mind and a way it
-
was to function. Are you hearing me?
-
Psalms 8911 says that this way, the heavens are yours.
-
The Earth also is yours the world and all it contains, you
-
have founded them. So who owns the gold?
-
Who owns the silver? Who owns every resource that's
-
in the planet right now who owns all the oil not OPEC.
-
Not a bunch of sheikhs. Or you don't want to come on
-
now, help me out. Now it seems as if somebody has
-
it and they may be operating with it but it's actually the
-
Lord's. I said, it's the Lord's.
-
Amen. In fact the beginning of Psalms
-
24 1, it says that this way, the Earth is the Lord's and all its
-
fullness and what all its fullness the world and those who
-
dwell therein meaning, if you're on his Planet, are you
-
authorized or not? Amen.
-
Now I own my house. So at the end of the day I can
-
authorize who comes in and who isn't Amen.
-
I authorize who comes in and who is it?
-
I asked can authorize someone to come in, but if their behavior
-
goes in a direction that is contrary to what I want in my
-
home, guess what? I have the right to do kick them
-
out. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. And some of you kick people out
-
of your house. Well, how come you kicked him
-
out? Because they were not acting
-
like I needed them to act. Well, you didn't love them.
-
I guess, huh? Well, we know that's not true
-
but yet that's how we act like we God that don't matter how you
-
act God's just gonna love you anyway.
-
Oh, he's gonna love you anyway, but he's going to respond to you
-
like love response to things that aren't in keeping with his
-
word. Hey man.
-
I said amen because I can look to someone in my house and say,
-
wait a minute. We don't do that here in this
-
house. Which means, that's, that's
-
Mercy. I'm giving you an opportunity to
-
repent to change your thinking and your behavior so that you
-
can stay in the house. But if you keep responding and
-
they attitude and actions. And I'm saying, we don't do this
-
in his house now I'm authorized. And if you don't leave at my
-
word, well, I have a resource. Be on my word, I have authority
-
beyond my word. I can get other legal things
-
involved. Left.
-
That can pull you out. Amen, that can have a show of
-
force different. Praise the Lord.
-
But you understand at a word, the Lord can move things and
-
does. So, the Earth is the Lord's.
-
Lord is not a religious word. It means Supreme and Authority.
-
So he has the final say, actually, in Planet Earth.
-
Ultimately, speaking from the beginning and the end
-
perspective. Because in the beginning, God
-
created the Earth, he created it to be inhabited.
-
He had a plan for it. And as a result of that plan
-
he's going to see that thing come to pass.
-
Are you hearing me? Well, what else is to say about
-
God, being the Earth's owner, look at Psalms 47, 7.
-
Gives us a little insight here for God is the what what is he
-
now most of the time in most religious circles where we're
-
preaching Genesis chapter 32, Revelations chapter 20 and we
Genesis 32 chapter mention Revelation 20 chapter mention
-
stay focused focused on trees like the tree of Salvation or
-
the tree of the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of
-
speaking in tongues, or the tree of redemption or the tree of
-
Deliverance, Right, or the tree of Mercy.
-
Are you hearing me? The tree is sacrifice.
-
Okay, we see that God is the savior of the world and we love
-
savior because we don't want to die and what we did wrong but
-
he's not just savior. He's King now.
-
Kings different than savior. I say Kings different than
-
savior. Hallelujah.
-
King is the one who's in authority.
-
Says for God is the king of all the Earth, you know everybody's
-
concerned about a one world power.
-
You understand there is only one world power now.
-
Now so again for you for the religious Christians out there.
-
Yes, it's true. That the Antichrist wants to set
-
up a one world government. Why?
-
Because he wants to counterfeit. God, God is the One World
-
Government. I said he is the One World
-
Government and he's the only government that's going to
-
remain because he's the king of all the Earth.
-
And what's so great about our King is that before Earth came
-
no one voted him as king. No one elected him as king.
-
He is King by Nature. He's King by title.
-
He's King because he is defeat is conferred upon himself
-
because he's God that he's ruler of everything.
-
Not just Planet Earth blood, all of creation.
-
And since he's King, he's going to take care of that, which is
-
his. So for God, is king of all the
-
Earth. We ought to sing praises with
-
understanding because many are singing praises and have no
-
understanding. So what do we learn from this,
-
the territory of Earth was created by the Home Country
-
rather than being taken by force?
-
It was not anyone else's possession beforehand.
-
God didn't come conquer Earth. He made it.
-
I said, he made it. So you don't have to worry about
-
him knocking people off their land.
-
You know, if you have a problem where people go in and move
-
people off their land, well, you understand, then you ought to be
-
have a problem with a lot of humans because they've taken
-
possession of things that are actually gods.
-
It was God's first. And God had a people that he
-
wanted to possess it. And when he's planted this
-
thing, when he did it, nobody's on it.
-
He put the people he wanted on it in the beginning.
-
Let's go on. So there were no one have this
-
on the earth that first which was designed for them in mind.
-
He, it was specifically prepared for those who would live here.
-
Now who's getting the earth? Look at this in Psalms 115
-
verse, 14 and 16. It says, may the Lord give you
-
increase, you and your children, may, you be blessed of the Lord.
-
Now, again, Lord is not a religious word, it means supreme
-
authority. He's maker of heaven, and Earth
-
and Earth. The heavens are the heavens of
-
the Lord. He says, now I'm going to
-
maintain all authority, there and functionality.
-
But the Earth. He has given to the sons of men,
-
the NIV verse 16 says that this way, it says the highest Heavens
-
belong to the Lord, but the Earth he has given to mankind.
-
So the original, the original inhabitants were not of a
-
different culture. From the home country but rather
-
actually The Offspring of the king himself.
-
How do we know this Genesis 1:26?
-
See now we're getting into parts of the Bible that most topical
-
Ministries that stay on topics. Do not go to or do not reference
-
because they're preaching is only from the platform of the
-
fall of Man. But you understand the Earth has
-
experienced a time when man had not Fallen.
-
And when it's all said and done, there will be an experience
-
where sin is not a problem. Can we say the fall of Man?
-
We talk about Sin. Well, is there a time that sin
-
is not even going to be an issue?
-
Sure, absolutely. In fact, any believer, if you
-
talk to and say is their sin in heaven, they would all conclude
-
no, no way. Not there, not there.
-
It's not there. So sin won't be there.
-
Amen. Well, there was a time that sin
-
wasn't here. Hey, can we have that again?
-
Well, according to the book, we can when you actually read it,
-
are you hearing me? So he says the highest Heavens
-
belong to the Lord, but the Earth he has given to man.
-
Now, when he gave it to man, he gave it to man in mind of how he
-
would create man because in the book of Beginnings, Genesis
Genesis 1 chapter mention
-
chapter 1, God in his creation of the six days of creation than
-
the seventh day, rest the all of his creation.
-
Other than man, he says Let There be let there be this, let
-
there be that let there be this. Let there be that and the
-
scripture says and it was and it was what it was, what it was
-
good. But when it came to man, Now,
-
there are living creatures all over the planet before man's
-
there. There are birds fish cattle, all
-
kinds of animals, living on land, all kinds of animals,
-
living in the see, all kinds of animals, flying in the air.
-
There's all kinds of tree life. There's all kinds of different
-
types of things growing that definitely have creatures that
-
can see taste function by All rights, probably spoke, So, how
-
do you know that Pastor well, Adam and Eve really weren't
-
concerned about a serpent talking?
-
And we even know of another particular person that was going
-
to did to try to curse Israel that their donkey started
-
talking. Which means it must have had
-
capacity at a time. Okay.
-
C'est la think on these things. But when it came to man this is
-
different says, then. God said let us that's Father,
-
Son and Holy Spirit Genesis 1:26, then God said let us make
-
man in our image according to our likeness Genesis 1:26.
-
Now says this, let us make man in our image, according to our
-
likeness, that means he was to be a carbon copy of us.
-
Meaning from my nature. I'm going to create man now is
-
sin, and God has God ever sinned.
-
So then he created a man outside of sin.
-
Send did not exist. Any he said this?
-
Let them then have. What do they have dominion or
-
rule will does God rule? So the reason why man would rule
-
is because he's of the nature of God, God's our ruler.
-
So he's made man a ruler. And that he assigns what he
-
rules. He says this, he says, the fish
-
of the sea. He's going to have dominion or
-
over the fish of the sea over the birds of the air and over
-
the cattle, over all the Earth and over every creeping thing
-
that creeps on the earth in essence, the Lord says, now I
-
created the Earth for you. I'm going to rule in my realm.
-
You rule in this realm according to my instruction.
-
I've given you the oversight. The word dominion means, it
-
means to govern. It means to rule, it means to
-
control things. Don't, you know, people just
-
want to be able to get control of their life.
-
Well, that's why you need to get and Dominion.
-
It means to manage. It means to master something.
-
It means to have rulership in essence, the Lord says listen,
-
how do we not know that he's the king of the Kingdom?
-
We know that the Bible says, God is the king of all the Earth and
-
if you're a king all Kings have a Main.
-
So he says man have dominion. The Bible tells us that the
-
highest Heaven is the Lord. So the Lord rules the rain or
-
territory of Heaven. That's his domain.
-
It's his Kings Dominion. He says, now go make man in my
-
image, he's going to look like me function.
-
Like me respond. Like me be at a rule like me.
-
And I'm going to give him the territory of the earth.
-
That's his Dominion. Now, that doesn't I mean, God
-
gave the Earth away to man. It means he said, you
-
administrate, you're the ruler of this property that I own you
-
cause it's systems to look like my systems.
-
How do we know God wanted this system down here to look like
-
his systems up there? Because Jesus tells us this when
-
he comes to the planet to teach his disciples.
-
How to pray he said now, When you pray pray, this way, Our
-
Father who art in heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name, Your
-
Kingdom, your will be on Earth as it is in.
-
It was always God's intent that if you were in heaven are you
-
were on Earth, didn't matter. Same environment, same culture,
-
Didn't matter. So a kingdom to find then is
-
this a kingdom, is the government influence of a king
-
over his territory, impacting it with his personal will purpose
-
and intent. If it's producing citizens,
-
expressing the culture values, morals and Lifestyles
-
reflecting, the Kings nature almost say it again.
-
A kingdom is the government influence of a king over his
-
territory, impacting it with his personal will purpose and intent
-
producing citizens. Pressing, the culture values
-
morals and Lifestyles reflecting, the Kings nature.
-
Hallelujah. So kingdoms are built upon
-
concepts of legalities, this is not legalism is legalities
-
again, the church has done such a horrific job.
-
Of treed preaching that they're so narrow in scope that they
-
cannot keep the concepts of the Bible.
-
And now you see, if you say certain words, they associate
-
you with their definition of religion, when the reality is,
-
there's context of kingdom. And they don't want to hear it
-
because Kingdom and make you get some personal responsibility.
-
The king does all that he needs to do that.
-
You could never do. But then he empowers you to do
-
what you can because it's about sonship again.
-
Destiny, preaching, going to heaven our destination,
-
preaching going to heaven, Destiny, preaching is, I've
-
become astronauts child of God, right now, and my dad said,
-
he'll never, leave me nor forsake me, my dad said the same
-
Teamworks heat. That is that my brother Jesus
-
did. I'll be able to do my dad.
-
Put the greater one on the inside of me and then gave me
-
access to all this Kingdom. Every bit of it that I can
-
function in it right now with the authority of the name.
-
That's above every name. Who is the king?
-
His name is Jesus. So kingdoms are built upon
-
concepts of legality. I have a legal right to tell the
-
devil don't touch me. Because he had a legal right to
-
keep me bound because my sin had a legal right to hold me in the
-
grave and paid me the wage of death, but God being rich in his
-
Mercy, while I was yet a sitter God, for me, brought me into the
-
kingdom of God gave me the legal right?
-
To say You Don't Own Me. No More.
-
You Don't Own Me. My Flesh.
-
You Don't Own Me. You can't tell me what to do.
-
God has caused me to Pause above that.
-
He seated me in Heavenly places. He's put me in kingship again.
-
That's what I'm talking about. That's what he gave me.
-
He didn't give me some. Here's the ticket.
-
When you die, son. He said here's Heavens realm,
-
pull it into the earth-sun, pull it into the earth-sun, pull it
-
into the Earth. Whatever you need to King has
-
it. So let's build on a concept of
-
legalities which extends to its citizens offering them the
-
rights and privileges that are guaranteed by the king.
-
That's why my faith has so much power because the king spoke it,
-
he has to do it. See a kingdom.
-
This Kingdom that he created is not a kingdom of subjects.
-
It's the kingdom of Kings. So again, when you study world
-
history, sure, you can say, man, I don't want a king over me, I
-
don't want a king over me, you got a king over you, if you're
-
born again. But the cool thing about our
-
King is he is love, which means he's only, he's more concerned
-
about your interest in any interest.
-
And he all he wants to release you, because he's the one who
-
knew you before you were in your mother's womb in essence.
-
He said, I know who you are, know everything about you for a
-
Put you in the womb. I knew what you were destined to
-
do. Why don't you let me do to help
-
you discover yourself? And so my life now in Christ is
-
a self discovery of what God always intended to me for me
-
before the foundations of the world, my gosh, it's the
-
greatest Adventure ever. And all when I understand the
-
kingdom of King growing at more and more I'll function more and
-
more as his son in this thing. So the vision of God was always
-
this from the beginning to extend his invisible Kingdom of
-
Heaven to a visible Earth. It was to expand his spiritual
-
Kingdom to the physical Earth. It was to fill Earth with the
-
influence and culture of Heaven. This Earth was so like heaven
-
that God showed up all the time. He left one realm came into
-
another realm and just talked to his son.
-
Adam. Spent time with them in the cool
-
of the day. The other purpose of God is to
-
create a colony on Earth from the kingdom of heaven.
-
Now, colonization has a real negative term in the world
-
today. And I don't mind the parts that
-
are applicable, but if you're going to have a problem with
-
colonization, then you need to have a problem with Humanity for
-
sure because it's God's planet. And God had a very specific type
-
of man. Both male and female he was
-
putting in the Earth, the ones that were in His image and his
-
likeness and that would rule under his rulership.
-
So for everyone who's not doing that, they are wrong.
-
And when they go into territory and they begin to change the
-
minds of people and changes the systems of people and changes
-
the way that we educate. And the way we do medical
-
systems in the way we do economics.
-
And the way we do, social interaction it and the way we do
-
relationship, they are the ones that are deter, Anika rulers.
-
Not the one who are following the plan and purpose of God.
-
So yeah, there's a day coming when the Lord will literally
-
decolonize those that are not a part of his colony.
-
He'll get them out. Cause a colony in its purest,
-
definition is a group of people who established residents in
-
that area and who retained ties to the parent state.
-
God didn't move sin out of the earth when he put Adam and Eve
-
in there. The Earth was without sin.
-
No sin. It was Heaven on Earth.
-
Earth was an expression of Heavens realm and he says,
-
here's my Colony a man and a woman that they'll reproduce
-
after their own kind. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
They will colonize this thing with a culture from heaven.
-
They will look. Like me, they'll be in my image
-
and they'll function like I function.
-
This is my plan for Earth. And God has not changed that
-
plan. I said he's not change that
-
plan. So God's original purpose was
-
and intent was to rule the seen realm, what you can see from his
-
unseen Realm. And he would do it through the
-
Unseen Spirit of, man. We can't see our spirit but he's
-
in there through this scene body what you can see on the surface
-
of this scene Earth, that was his plan.
-
He said I'll rule from this, unseen realm through their
-
spirit. And it would affect everything
-
that they see. Hallelujah.
-
And God has not changed that plan.
-
Are you hearing me? So the original plan was to
-
extend his Heavenly Kingdom on Earth through mankind.
-
God created man to manage and administrate his Kings Dominion
-
on the earth. The purpose and Destiny of
-
mankind was dominion and rulership over the Earth.
-
How do we know this Adam? You can eat from any tree of the
-
garden but of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you
-
shall not eat for the day. You eat, you will surely if Adam
-
had never eaten the fruit, where would he be today?
-
Now, that's hard. For the person who sits in the
-
church that's been topically taught.
-
Because their whole life is, we're going to heaven when we
-
die yet. Adam was not trying to go to
-
heaven. And if God always does what he
-
says, if Adam had never eaten the fruit, he would be on the
-
same planet today. So, that should shift our Focus.
-
Now when I say that, I must say this to be absent from the body
-
is to be present with the Lord. That's true and you'll go to
-
heaven. I have no problem with that,
-
right? Because Adam did eat the fruit
-
And so God had to enact an amendment.
-
He had to bring a way to get back to his original intent and
-
he'll go through the process of that taking place, but it will
-
turn out. Exactly.
-
As he said, he men. So having to be a holding tank,
-
Anybody ever been on a plane, right?
-
You start one location. And sometimes in fact, most of
-
the time, if you're flying Delta, All flights go through
-
Atlanta. I think I've done one that took
-
me straight to New York but the majority of the time all flights
-
go through Delta which means you have a layover.
-
Heaven will be a layover. I'm going to show you before we
-
finish today. Just for those who are
-
struggling right now. Yeah.
-
And you understand layovers are subject to win.
-
Your next flight comes in, you could have a 45-minute layover,
-
are you can have a five or six you got a 24-hour layover in
-
like, man. That's a long layover.
-
Well, some been in heaven for a little bit seem like it'd been a
-
long layover, Some of us were going to go up, going to be
-
seven years and we will come back down.
-
It's going to be a shorter. Layover, I said is going to be
-
shorter, will be caught up together with him.
-
Come on, Amen. All right, I'll show you in a
-
minute. The fall of Man was a fall from
-
Dominion, not from heaven. So when the Lord said Adam,
-
where are you? All of us are smart enough to
-
know and even the most topical Lee taught.
-
Believers know. That God is all-knowing.
-
So there's no way Adam was behind a tree that God couldn't
-
figure out. So it's obviously he's not
-
meaning, where are you? I can't find you, you have
-
really hidden well today. No, he's saying.
-
What position are you in now? You're not in the same position
-
anymore. There's there's something
-
between us and then, he asked the question, did you eat the
-
fruit? Now, I said this in our love
-
series and I'm not going to preach it, but it does for a
-
sale on moment for everyone here today.
-
Adam and Eve are creating the likeness of God In His Image.
-
They have no sin. They are fully righteous and
-
fully. Holy, they are perfect human
-
beings yet. God still doesn't know they love
-
him. Because righteousness and
-
Holiness does not communicate. Love How did God know that they
-
loved him obedience? You can eat from any tree in the
-
garden. There are way more trees to eat
-
from Sun than this one. Don't eat from it because the
-
day you eat from it, you'll die. And that's where he proved every
-
day. Didn't need it.
-
He proved that. I love you because even Jesus
-
himself, go ahead and read the scriptures for yourself because
-
you'll be. So topical driven, you'll be all
-
messed up. Jesus said, if you love me, you
-
will keep my word. He didn't say you'll get born
-
again and be righteous. And holy.
-
He said, you'll keep my word. So keeping his word is the
-
expression of love and that's what God does.
-
God always keeps his word. Always.
-
Always. That's why he is the perfect
-
judge and is full of Justice calls.
-
No one will be in his kingdom that he said, will not be in.
-
Nor will they be in his kingdom any other way than they could
-
get in? Because love always keeps his
-
word. The original plan, the purpose
-
and goal of God's. Redemptive plan is to restore
-
mankind, back to God's original plan.
-
And the restoration of God's original plan, was the
-
restoration of God's Kings Dominion to Earth is God's
-
ultimate goal. How do we know this?
-
Look at Isaiah chapter 9, y'all doing.
Isaiah 9 chapter mention
-
All right. Isaiah chapter 9 says, for a,
Isaiah 9 chapter mention
-
child will be born to us. A son will be given notice the,
-
sun's not born because the sun always existed and the
-
government. You see that this is your Bible,
-
And the government will rest on his shoulders.
-
Jesus never came to establish a religion, he only came to
-
re-establish a government that exists in heaven realm used to
-
function in the earth realm, according to God's plan, but had
-
been thwarted, and he's giving the opportunity for it to come
-
back to planet Earth, and the government will rest on his
-
shoulders, shoulders are in the body.
-
And the church is the body of Christ.
-
So the government of God in the Earth today is his church, which
-
looks more like an embassy. Since we are all ambassadors for
-
Christ and ambassadors are appointed government officials
-
to represent a country that they are not currently in, but
-
they're in another territory and they aren't only speak on behalf
-
of that Kingdom. The government rests on his
-
shoulders and his name will be called, wonderful, counselor,
-
Mighty God. Eternal Father.
-
Prince of Peace. There will be no end.
-
Say no end. To the increase of his
-
government or peace. Who's this son given in the
-
child born? What's his name?
-
What's his name is Jesus so they'll be no end to the
-
increase of his government or a piece on the throne of David and
-
over his over his what not religion Over his kingdom.
-
To establish and to uphold it with Justice and righteousness
-
from then on and forever. More the Zeal of the Lord of
-
hosts will accomplish this. So God believes that government
-
is the answer to Mankind's problem.
-
Yet many churches are trying to sell the world a religion.
-
Although, they'll say, it's not a religion, it's a relationship.
-
Well, if you don't know, he's a king, you don't even have a
-
relationship. If you don't know that your
-
saviors Lord supreme authority, you don't have a relationship.
-
You actually have a religion of Jesus.
-
Because they religion by All rights is just a definition.
-
Your definition of God. That's established religion.
-
When they made little Idols, they told us and their culture,
-
what this God represented, and how you function, but, and pray
-
and bowel, and do for it. I went into Myanmar, which was
-
the first nation I ever went to as a on a mission trip, it's the
-
former nation of Burma and I went to one of their religious
-
idol worship places. I mean, there were so, So many
-
golden Idols. I mean of all kinds of statures.
-
Had to take your shoes off to go in there.
-
One of my have taken shoes. I wonder where they got that
-
thought from So you don't go to that place with shoes on.
-
And I remember walking in, I'm just looking at them and I'm
-
just grieved on the inside saying, this was, this is man's
-
definition of God. And these people are devoted.
-
To a religion. And the United States, we've
-
turned Jesus into one. because we tell Jesus, when we're going
-
to assemble, How often were going to do it?
-
How much to obey, what to accept from the word and whatnot to
-
what to keep and what not to keep what we want Grace to cover
-
so that we don't actually have to be responsible and actually
-
dealing with it. Yeah.
-
Many people have turned Jesus into an idol.
-
I used to think, but I realize after the kingdom and I was off.
-
I used to think that when Paul said, if anyone preaches you a
-
different Jesus, That that was the places that did not say he
-
was a Son of God. He was just a good man or a
-
prophet. But I realize it's even those
-
who believe Jesus is the Christ that they can even preach a
-
different Jesus. Things like well Jesus put
-
sickness on his in disease on you, you know, because he's
-
trying to teach us stuff. Well, you know, Jesus took your
-
baby because he wanted it to be with him instead of with you
-
Okay, I know it ain't popular preaching, but I'm not here for
-
a popularity contest. I'm here to represent, McCain,
-
and they're not represent my king who Jesus is not taking
-
your kids from you. Jesus teaches by instruction.
-
Your sin gets you in trouble. The Devil comes to kill, steal,
-
and destroy even when you're living righteous, and it's not
-
coming from God. but the good news in the New Covenant, I said
-
in the New Covenant You don't have to be ignorance of the
-
devil's devices, so you can get ahead of it.
-
But you can't, if you're oblivious, if you're not being
-
led by the spirit, if you're living your Christianity based
-
upon your terms, Que Sera, Sera, whatever will be will be because
-
God is in control, and I can't do anything.
-
God is in control of his word and you can learn his word.
-
It is the most asinine statement for believer to say, God is in
-
control of everything. Then you would have to conclude,
-
he's in control of rape, he's in control of murder, he's in
-
control of theft, he's in control of racism, he's in
-
control of all the head, he's not in control of that.
-
The devil is a liar. And the devil's done a better
-
job of defining God to his people, that his people have
-
been letting God to find himself because we're stuck on trees.
-
I just want to go to heaven when I die and he's like my gosh man.
-
I'm going to heaven to come to you.
-
In fact, when Jesus is born, he's giving the name Emmanuel.
-
Anybody know any man you want means god.
-
Then when you get born again, he puts the Holy Ghost in you.
-
God is always coming down. And yet we preaching this
-
religion, like it's about us going up, and he's like that's
-
nonsense. It's about me, coming down to
-
you always. He came down the cool today.
-
Adam ate the fruit, and God came down to man spoke with them
-
spent time. Then he got into dispensation,
-
where he would come down in a tabernacle with a glory Cloud.
-
He would come down, come down, come down, come down, come down
-
upon the Prophet. Come down, come down then man
-
gets born again. Night comes down and lives in
-
them. But yeah, we like our definition
-
of God, our religion. Our idol worship.
-
I just want to go to him. One day.
-
I go to I'm With You. You are the Temple of the Holy
-
Ghost. What are you waiting on?
-
They don't know Kingdom. See God knows this about a
-
government. See the Bible's about
-
government. The Holy Bible is about
-
governments about governing. Adam lost the kingdom, not a
-
religion. Therefore the Redemptive work of
-
the Creator would be the re-establishment of his kingdom
-
on Earth. I'll talk about religion next
-
week and religion versus Kingdom.
-
The difference in its approach and you'll know, when you come
-
next week, whether or not you've been sitting up a bunt up
-
underneath a bunch of religious teaching, Because of its
-
perspective. The kingdom is not a religion.
-
It is a government And Jesus Christ is the son, he has come
-
and when he came there will be no end to the increase of his
-
government or peace. It doesn't matter how bad the
-
world's getting doesn't matter you'll never get the kingdom out
-
of it now that it's in You'll never get it out.
-
Even when God catches away the church, the kingdom is still be
-
here. In fact, the kingdom will wreak
-
havoc on planet Earth. Because it is start pouring out
-
God's Wrath on man. Everybody is so interested in
-
Antichrist that has no power. It's a temporary limited power.
-
He will oppress people mainly his own, keeping them in
-
darkness, he will kill Gods, but there will be a reward for them.
-
I said they'll be a reward for them.
-
It would be a privilege for them to die.
-
I said to be a privilege. But all the while he'll be
-
wreaking havoc. We don't talk about the two
-
witnesses that are smoking everything down here.
-
Everybody talking about the Antichrist who got two witnesses
-
that the whole world is all messed up about that every time
-
they speak all kinds of world calamities taken place because
-
that's God's tear and seals. Jesus is Terror and seals in the
-
heaven round, the two witnesses are declaring what's happening
-
up there and it's coming to the earth.
-
And the whole planet is going to be in an uproar over what these
-
two guys are doing because they don't see what God's doing in
-
his realm through these two guys to make it manifest down here.
-
And then they'll killed it, guys.
-
They'll Rejoice. All the world will begin to.
-
Give presents to one another. Why cause it'd be on all social
-
media outlets and now just leave them dead in the street.
-
But on the third day, On the third day.
-
They'll get up. I said they'll get up, they'll
-
get up and they'll be called up. Again they'll just be testimony
-
Jesus died and on the third day he got up.
-
You better believe in Jesus. And not the liar.
-
That's here. I said not the liar this year.
-
Are you hearing me? Okay, this kingdoms here, Daniel
-
prophesied about this Kingdom. The Bible's about a king, his
-
kingdom and his Royal Offspring. Let me try to run us through the
-
Bible. Quickly.
-
All right, we have communion today, you're going to want to
-
do communion after this, you're going to thank God, you're an
-
illegal Covenant with God and his kingdom, and that the Kings
-
on your side or more important. Yeah, yeah.
-
More important. You're on his side.
-
Hey Ben. But I want to show a couple
-
things just so it's rooted in us.
-
Let me show you this Kingdom that has no end.
-
Daniel said this, in Daniel chapter 2 starting in verse 31.
Daniel 2 chapter mention
-
I'm just going to read it now. So stay with me.
-
He's interpreting a Dream by King, Nebuchadnezzar.
-
All right, it says, Daniel who's A from the nation of Israel.
-
He's captured into Babylon. The King has a dream and he
-
needs it. Not only spoken of but
-
interpreted and here's Daniel by the spirit of God giving him the
-
answer. He said you okaying were looking
-
and behold. There was a single statue that
-
stach great statue that statue was large and extraordinarily
-
splendor. What's standing in front of you
-
and its appearance was awesome. The head of the statue was made
-
of fine, gold the breast and his arms of silver, its belly and
-
thighs of bronze and its legs of iron, its feet, partly of iron
-
and partly of clay. You continue, looking until the
-
stone was cut out until a stone was cut out without hands
-
without hands, who is this Stone?
-
He's the Cornerstone and it struck the statue at his, on its
-
feet of iron and clay and crushed them.
-
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, Over and
-
gold were crushed all at the same time because, like, chaff
-
from the summer threshing floor, the wind carried them away.
-
So that not a trace, not a trace of them were was found, but the
-
stone was struck, but the stone that struck the statue became a
-
great mountain and what filled the whole earth?
-
This was the dream. Now we will tell its
-
interpretation before the king you Old King, The King of Kings.
-
Is whom the god of Heaven has given the kingdom, the power,
-
the strength, and the glory. He was the natural king of
-
natural Kings only at that time in the earth, and whatever the
-
sons of men, dwell or the beasts of the fields of the birds of
-
the sky. He has given them into your
-
hands and has caused you to rule over them.
-
You are the head of gold after you.
-
There will arise another kingdom inferior to you than another,
-
then another third Kingdom of bronze.
-
Which will rule over all the Earth.
-
Then there will be a fourth Kingdom, as strong as iron
-
insomuch as the iron crushes and shatters all things.
-
So like iron that breaks in pieces.
-
It will crush and break. All these end pieces and that
-
you saw the feet of of toes feet and Toes, parse partly of
-
potters, clay and partly of iron.
-
It will be a divided Kingdom but it will but it will have in it.
-
The toughness of iron in so much as you saw the iron mixed with
-
common clay. As the toes of the feet were
-
partly of iron and partly of pottery.
-
So some of the Kingdom will be strong and part of it will be
-
brittle in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay.
-
They will continue with one another in the seed of men and
-
they will not in adhere to one another.
-
Even as iron does not combine with Pottery in the days of
-
those kings, the god of heaven will set up a kingdom.
-
Which will never be destroyed and that Kingdom will, but not
-
be left for another people, but it will crush and put an end to
-
all these kingdoms, but in itself, endure forever.
-
So the Bible is always been about a king as Kingdom in his
-
role Offspring. Because when Adam did eat the
-
fruit, the Lord says to the serpent, I'll bring my seed and
-
he will crush your seed. I'm bringing my seed.
-
He will crush you, you'll bruise his heel, but he'll crush your
-
head, the Chief Cornerstone. Jesus was born of the Virgin,
-
not of a man, because man fell from Dominion.
-
So man is now sinful. So God comes upon a virgin
-
without the help of sinful, man. So that Jesus could get clothes
-
in a skin suit because it was man who had the authority to
-
have dominion. So it required a man to get the
-
authority back. That's why God had to come as
-
the son of man. and so he threw the old Covenant, which is
-
important for us to recognize because it allows us to know the
-
justice of our judge, the righteousness of our king, and
-
the fact that sin is in the Earth, and though we're in a new
-
and better Covenant, there are things we learn from it and need
-
to keep in light of But Jesus comes and God is looking for the
-
bloodline, but he has to make covenant with man.
-
Look what it says here. In Genesis chapter 12 verse 1.
-
It says now the Lord said to Abram go forth from your country
-
and from your relatives and from your father's house to the land,
-
which I will show you and I will make you a great what nation,
-
not a religion. And I will bless you and make
-
your name great and you shall be a blessing.
-
And I will bless those who bless you.
-
And the one who curses you, I will curse and in you all the
-
families of the earth will be Blessed.
-
So Abram became Abraham, which is the father of many nations,
-
not religions, Abraham gave birth to Isaac.
-
Isaac gave birth to Jacob, Jacob.
-
Wrestled with the Lord and gets his name changed to Israel.
-
Israel is a nation in the earth still today.
-
Because the Bible is always been about a king as Kingdom in his
-
role Offspring. It is about a nation of people
-
that will look like him and Rule like him first Samuel chapter 8.
1 Samuel 8 chapter mention
-
Because God, then through Israel, he gives birth to 12
-
sons. One of his sons gets sold off
-
into slavery, who eventually comes and delivers the whole
-
nation, in the time of famine, because he was set up as a
-
prince in Egypt. God, Not change.
-
The religion of Egypt. He brought a kingdom to Egypt.
-
I found this out and I'm going to talk about it more next week.
-
We talked about how Egypt is sin and yes in one sense it is but
-
Egypt represents more religion than anything and God wants to
-
deliver us out of our religion. Our thoughts of who God is and
-
our ways of responding to God, which in all right, becomes sin
-
because they're disobedient, actions and behaviors.
-
Contrary to his word. And so he delivers the nation
-
out of the nation and he creates a nation in the wilderness and
-
he takes them into the promised land.
-
And this God, who is unseen would show up in a peddler.
-
Of Fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day and he would
-
protect this nation who they couldn't see.
-
He would come down on the mountain and they would fear and
-
trembling run away from it because of the Holiness of who
-
he is and he conquered Nation after Nation, after Nation with
-
them. He said, I'll do this part.
-
You do this part when it came to Jericho, he said, go around it
-
once one time for seven days, but on the seventh time do it,
-
seven times, then. When you shout, I'll do my part.
-
So, the king of Israel did his part and brought down the wall,
-
then Israel did their part and went in and conquered the people
-
that did not have the strength or ability, although they were a
-
mightier and stronger Nation. They could not with resist, the
-
swords of the nation of Israel and he went to land to land and
-
he dispossessed people, why? Because he owns the planet, they
-
were in the wrong being there. They were Behaving and acting
-
and functioning in ways that were not designed for his
-
planet. All you got to do is read when
-
he talks to Abraham. He said now listen your people
-
are going to come back to this land, you're looking at but the
-
people here their sin has not reached his fullness.
-
And I'm going to be here to try to deal with that.
-
In fact, he even said this and the New Testament Jesus.
-
He said now if the works that I was doing here, we're performed
-
back. When Sodom and Gomorrah was
-
around, he'd still be here today.
-
But here's the thing. There was enough in Sodom and
-
Gomorrah to keep it here, but God himself came down.
-
And says, let me go see what kind of behaviors happening in
-
Sodom and Gomorrah because I'm here in about it in heaven and
-
he said if It is what I'm hearing and what I'm smelling.
-
Because sin stinks. Now, you want to know what kind
-
of Lifestyles were in Sodom and Gomorrah.
-
Go read it for yourself. And God hadn't changed his mind
-
about that. I said he hadn't changed his
-
mind about that because Romans tells us the same types of
-
behavior, Romans 1, same behaviors.
-
He said they will not inherit the kingdom of God.
-
It's not going to happen, won't be.
-
There won't be there. The Lord himself came and said,
-
if it's this way. I'm going to eliminate this
-
community. Not because they didn't have a
-
chance to change. They refuse to not change.
-
And he conquered all these things and then all of a sudden
-
Israel decides we can't seem so we don't want him.
-
So first Samuel, chapter 8 verse 7 says this and the Lord said to
-
Samuel, listen to the voices of the people In regards to all
-
that they say to you, for they have not rejected you but they
-
have rejected me from being King over them.
-
I don't know why it's not up here but I'm assuming that
-
something's going on with our computer.
-
So you should always bring your Bible and not be conditioned to
-
just seeing stuff on a screen because all these scriptures you
-
need to write down and we go on and see that Daniel talked about
-
it. Isaiah talked about it,
-
Zachariah talked about a king that was going to come on a
-
donkey. I mean the hall the nation of
-
Israel was always looking for this king.
-
Who would come? And they'll be no end to the
-
Increase of they're looking for the Messiah and then we get to
-
Matthew chapter 3 verse 1. John the Baptist says this 3:1
-
go to verse 3. Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven
-
is at hand for this of the one referred to by Isaiah the
-
prophet. When he said the voice of one
-
crying in the wilderness, Make Ready the way of the Lord make
-
his paths straight. What did Jesus preach?
-
When he showed up, Jesus said this in Matthew 4:17, from that
-
time. Jesus began to preach and say,
-
repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is what had hand.
-
Chapter 5 Verse 3. Jesus said blessed are the poor
-
in spirit and for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
-
Matthew 6:10 and 19 pray in this way.
-
Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name, Your
-
Kingdom Come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
-
In fact, if you reference the gospels Jesus preached, the
-
kingdom publicly, he spoke about it over 130 times.
-
In fact, it was his public message.
-
It was not be born again, being born again, was not his public
-
message. He actually only spoke about
-
being born again, one. Time in John, chapter 3 to a
John 3 chapter mention
-
religious man at 2:00 about 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
-
Now, do you need to be born again?
-
Yes. Because Jesus said, unless a man
-
is born again, he shall not see the kingdom and he shall not
-
enter the Kingdom. So you must be born of the
-
Kingdom. Which tells us is, you cannot
-
smuggle anyone in it. Our nation is in an uproar about
-
his borders. God has the tightest borders,
-
period. And he doesn't let them in
-
through purgatory. By paying penance.
-
Your prayer doesn't get them in although your pipe prayer can
-
make Power available for them. But it doesn't get them in.
-
No, there's only one way in Jesus says, I am the way the
-
truth and the light unless a man comes to me unless he
-
acknowledges me as supreme authority unless he's willing to
-
bow down before my kingship. Unless he wanted to die to self.
-
Unless he's ready to actually become a citizen of my kingdom
-
because I don't have people bothering weigh-in, I don't have
-
them, they'll they don't work their way in.
-
They don't come and serve in the church for 20 or 30 years.
-
And by right now, you ought to be Eddie get in.
-
You can't lay in a casket with someone who's going.
-
There's only one way, he's now. He does.
-
He have open borders. Know he has the door.
-
He has a gate and it will open if you'll present yourself.
-
All right. John chapter 18, verse 33 to 37.
-
Just so you'll know Jesus did a self proclamation of his
-
kingship pilate entered and summoned.
-
Jesus and said to him, are you the king of the Jews verse 34?
-
Jesus answered? Are you saying this on your own
-
initiative? Or did others tell you about me?
-
He's not refuting it. He just trying to figure out his
-
source. Pilot answer said, I'm not a
-
Jew. Am I?
-
Your own nation and the chief priest delivered?
-
You to me. What have you done?
-
Jesus said my kingdom. He's not of this world.
-
If my kingdom were of this world, 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.
-
Now notice he explains what he means.
-
By my kingdom, is not of this world because the religious The
-
tree teachers, only tree teachers will say that this is
-
because this is heaven. But Jesus defines he says my
-
kingdom is not of this world, if it were meaning how do you know
-
that? It's like the world, it would
-
function like the world. so he says, if it were my kingdom in
-
essence is not of this world, meaning not of its function, it
-
doesn't function like the world's kingdoms, If it did, my
-
servants would not, let me be handed over to the Jews.
-
What did he tell? Peter when he cut off the high
-
priest ear, when they were coming out of garden, he said
-
put your sword away, man. And he heals the guys here.
-
He said, don't you know that I could call a legion of angels
-
down right now because the my kingdom function like your
-
kingdom Come on. Have we not read that the Lord
-
sent one Angel and smoked 185 Mennonites just won a legion of
-
angels, which is in reference to the Roman.
-
Legions is either 2,000 to 6,000 men.
-
Now, you do the math, all by yourself, 185 times 2000, and
-
tell me how many and and I'm not saying one couldn't have done
-
more, but I'm just saying, based upon that math, how many people
-
is that going to be? That one.
-
That this Legion then could show up on the planet to deal with
-
Humanity. Because if I'm operate like you,
-
I take the throne, I dispossessed all of you.
-
But I'm not doing that because my kingdom is not of this realm.
-
My kingdom doesn't function this well way, my father sent me as
-
the king to bring in More Kings, To pay the price to be the
-
sacrifice so that they could get back in their original position
-
of Dominion. I am going to pay the price
-
that's owed. Sin has a price, it's called
-
death and Jesus says, I'm the only one who can pay it.
-
Your silver and gold is worthless.
-
But my blood But my blood and my blood is precious.
-
Why? Because it's not tainted because
-
I live this life. Like the first Adam did If you
-
look at all the Miracles that Jesus did, they were in the,
-
they are in keeping with the Dominion Adam had, this will
-
blow your mind when you see this Adam had dominion over the fish
-
of the sea. Did Jesus.
-
Multiply fish? Did he tell Peter to go fishing?
-
Did he tell Peter go fishing more than one time?
-
One time throwing that on the other side.
-
He like, man. I've been doing doing this all
-
night long, bro. And he got Jack, but at your
-
word, he's like I got authority over these fish.
-
And they pulled in a hall that had a call Partners to come pick
-
it in, then, when he had to pay taxes, he's like go fishing.
-
The first one you get will have heard my voice, pick up the
-
coins that are in the water. And come find your line, your
-
net, whatever he was fishing with and get in it.
-
And the fish did. The dead ones.
-
Listen to The Voice. Why?
-
Cuz he is the rest. He is the resurrection and the
-
life that matter have got Five Loaves and two fish.
-
In my hand because he's fish that are dead.
-
The cells of their meat are going to multiply and I'm going
-
to keep pulling from their carcass until I feed all five
-
thousand men plus the women and children.
-
And there's a reason why Brad, listen why cause their plants
-
bread came from plants of the earth?
-
He talked to a fig tree and the Fig Tree withered at his roots
-
because they heard the word of God because they had dominion
-
over him. He could talk to Brad and it's a
-
yes sir, whatever you say will. I'll just keep multiplying your
-
the king we do. What you say, this is why
-
healings were easy for Jesus. Why?
-
Cause man was made out of the Dust of the earth and man and
-
God gave man dominion over all the Earth.
-
So your skin suit is to be subject to the Lord.
-
That's why sickness and disease has no Authority on your life.
-
You're like Dirk get it together.
-
Because my king paid for my health care by his stripes, you
-
were healed. I am healed.
-
So cancer. Leave you cannot hang out on
-
this beach. Yeah.
-
This property this dirt, this sand.
-
Amen. Jesus goes on or Pilot says
-
therefore you are King verse 37. Jesus said you say correctly
-
that I'm a king For this, I've been born.
-
And for this, I have come into the world to testify to the
-
truth. Everyone who is of the truth
-
hears, my voice Colossians 1:13 says this, for he, rescued us
-
from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the, what
-
kingdom of his beloved Son. He didn't die on the cross so
-
that you could go to heaven, one day, he died on the cross.
-
So, we get the kingdom in you now.
-
First Timothy 6:15 says, is he the latter part, he who was
-
blessed and only Sovereign ruler, the king of and the Lord
-
of, who are those kings? Who are those Lords?
-
Yeah, your little King to the king.
-
First Timothy, our first Peter 2:9 says this but you are a
-
chosen race. So, quit calling you an African
-
race. Quit calling yourself, a British
-
race. Quit calling yourself a black
-
race or a white race. Or brown race, call yourself a
-
chosen race. Because in the kingdom of God,
-
every tongue, every tribe and every nation.
-
God is too creative to make us all the same but we are chosen.
-
So if you want to get rid of discrimination, you're gonna
-
have to get in the Kingdom. If you want to get it, rid of
-
racism, you're going to get in Kingdom because in this Kingdom,
-
when you function as it Was designed, it will mature as a
-
church will look out and see Brothers and Sisters in Christ a
-
chosen race. There's only two races of
-
people. It is God's grace or the devil's
-
race, and we in God's grace, we are chosen race.
-
We are not to identify with our outward appearance.
-
He said, I regard, no man, according to the flesh, but I
-
regard you according to the spirit of God, which means I'm
-
no longer subject to respond in this world based upon what I
-
see, but only What I Hear From The Chosen race.
-
He said your chosen race, your royal priesthood.
-
I'm looking at royalty today. See, the reason why people love
-
their Jesus is because they want to keep their identity.
-
There, there is nowhere in Scripture that there's a black
-
church. Or a white church.
-
Jesus said I will build my church.
-
I'm telling you I have a problem with us right now.
-
If I looked out and saw the same color, I'd be like we got to do
-
something about, this is stupid. Now I understand some nations
-
are predominantly you know one way or the other.
-
I get that not in our nation. We should look around and say
-
now this is God. So if anything ever happens with
-
the color of someone's skin, don't come to me and say, Pastor
-
or what you going to do about that.
-
I'm going to do what the kingdom says, because I'm not Champion
-
anything other than the kingdom. I stand with the chosen race.
-
Always. Are you hearing me?
-
See when you're in the Kingdom? You'll do that.
-
You'll get rid of loyalties that are superficial He calls us a
-
chosen race, not a religion, he calls us a whole royal
-
priesthood, not a religion, he calls us a holy nation, a people
-
for God's Own possession. So that we may proclaim the
-
excellencies of him who has called you out of Darkness Into
-
His Marvelous Light. I just want you to know I
-
shorten this message today, you're welcome.
-
I already have two pages for next week, it's called I copy
-
and pasted it on from this. Matthew 24:14, this is our
-
assignment. This is this is the church.
-
Jesus is buildings assignment. This gospel.
-
In the same video I showed you earlier today.
-
Reverend Doug Jones Define the word gospel.
-
Because of his study of Romans. and he said, That this word
-
gospel. And the Old Testament was never
-
called gospel, was called another word, good tidings.
-
So, just like when Jesus said, I will build my church, at what
-
the new word church, was not a new word because the Greek word
-
for that because you know was ekklesia which when Jesus said I
-
will build my church, everyone heard I'll build my senate or
-
legislative assembly. I'm building my government.
-
That's what he said. That's what they heard.
-
We hear religion. They heard a government.
-
When Jesus said gospel, they didn't hear good news.
-
That Jesus, Christ, died on the cross and Rose from the grave.
-
You know, Jesus never told his disciples, except me because I'm
-
going to die on the cross and be raised from the dead.
-
He never said that. And he didn't tell him that when
-
he came back from the dead. This word gospel means, good,
-
tidings, and it has this definition.
-
So all my military guys are going to love this.
-
It means when they heard it, they heard this.
-
It is a king who came and had a military Triumph.
-
So in essence, I'm delivering good news, our King Triumph
-
militarily, he spoiled principalities and Powers.
-
Jesus said, I've conquered, I conquered, I have destroyed
-
every place that the devil took the Dominion and I've taken it
-
back and now I'm giving it back to the ones who are rightful
-
heirs. If I'm Lord of their life, he
-
said this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole
-
world as a testimony to all the nations.
-
And then he didn't say the gospel that Jesus died on the
-
cross and Rose from the grave alone.
-
It's the gospel of the Kingdom. Let's close and Revelations 21.
-
Revelation 21, we pick up after the millennial reign of Christ.
-
Jesus himself has been on this same planet for a thousand
-
years. We as Saints will be with him
-
ruling on the planet with people who are in skin suits like us
-
now. He will have released the devil
-
after he's thrown him into the bottomless pit for those
-
thousands of years. He will deceive Nations.
-
They will come against Jesus in Jerusalem.
-
To try to destroy him but it will Bode not well for them
-
after that. And all who died.
-
He will cast The Devil. Satan himself into the Lake of
-
Fire, which is the second death with the false prophet in the
-
Beast. Then the Bible says, he will
-
call the grave, The Last Enemy of God.
-
To give up the dead. Which means everyone who's been
-
in torment is going to go to heaven.
-
I must say that again, they're going to go to heaven for trial.
-
They'll stand before the great white, Throne judgment and begin
-
to see the environment that they could have had.
-
Have they made Jesus Lord. He will judge them according to
-
the books first, he'll look and see that.
-
Their name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
-
He'll pull out the rest of the books, which is everything to
-
the greatest of detail, every thought every action.
-
Everything in essence, it be a summary, something like this,
-
you can do whatever you want to do.
-
But I'ma hold you accountable to whatever you do.
-
And you chose not me. And the answer to that is the
-
Lake of Fire is my prison. And he'll cast them into that
-
Lake of Fire, which is the second death.
-
And then we get to 21. And Revelations. 21 one says
-
this. And this is shocking.
-
When read by topical Christians, Man Revelation is 21 1 says that
-
this way, then I saw a new Heaven and a new we're going to
-
live in heaven forever. Why is there a new planet?
-
For the first Heaven and the first Earth passed away and
-
there was no longer any sea and I saw the holy city New
-
Jerusalem. What's it doing coming down out
-
of from God made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
-
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying behold the
-
Tabernacle of God is among not. That man came to me.
-
And he will dwell and he who's he Capital H, and God Will Do
-
Dwell among them. Are you hearing me?
-
Will dwell among them? Drop down to verse 10.
-
John said it this way and he carried me away in the spirit to
-
a great and high mountain and showed me the Holy City,
-
Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven from God.
-
Again, if we're going to live in heaven forever, why are we not
-
there? The devil's in the Lake of Fire?
-
Everybody who's disobeyed God's in the Lake of Fire?
-
Well, because God created the Earth for man.
-
And God loves planet Earth even more than man does because it's
-
a place, he's choosing to come to wow.
-
Verse 22, jump down to verse 22. He said I saw no temple in it.
-
That says that New Jerusalem that's in the earth.
-
Now, for the Lord God Almighty, that's the father and the lamb.
-
That's the sun are its Temple and the city has no need of the
-
Sun or the moon to shine on it for the glory of God has
-
illuminated and it's Lamp is the Lamb.
-
Look at verse 20 for the Nations.
-
In this new Earth, they'll still be Nations.
-
But it would be the nation's God intended from the beginning that
-
Adam and Eve would create a race of people that would only be
-
righteous holy and obey God demonstrating their love to him
-
and he'll have that on this new Earth.
-
And he says, the Nations will walk by its light and the kings
-
of the earth who are those kings of the Earth.
-
And the kings of the earth will bring their Glory into it.
-
In the daytime, there will be no night there for for his Gates
-
will never be closed. Why?
-
Cause there's never a risk of it ever being overthrown, and they
-
will bring the glory and honor of the nation's into it.
-
And nothing verse 27, says unclaimed, no one who practices
-
abomination in line show ever coming to it.
-
But only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of
-
Life because the rest have been locked up forever in the Lake of
-
Fire, which is the second death. He's the beginning and the end.
-
because the Bible is about a king, his kingdom in his role
-
Offspring, that's all it's ever been about But unfortunately, we
-
made it a religion. But not here and I'm thankful
-
that the spirit of God is revealing it more and more in
-
these last days. Why?
-
Because the king is coming and he's not coming as a suffering
-
servant. He will not return as a
-
suffering servant. He turned returns as the
-
reigning King. And most of his kids are not
-
ready for the king. But in this house, And every
-
house we plant. The citizens will be ready for
-
the king. Not only be ready but be
-
equipped to be deployed by the king to help him govern during
-
the millennial Reign. Wow.
