Pathway to Citizenship

Hello, and welcome to the Anchor.

Faith. Message podcast enjoyed this

message. Well you excited to be in the

house of the Lord. Amen.

Well I want to talk about a subject that you know is in the

kingdom of God. But I think it's very important

that we kind of discussed it because you know, a lot of

things are being said. Said, it's amazing.

How much that, how many things are happening in parallel to

God's kingdom in the world? You know, the good news is here

at anchor in a church. We've done a really good job of

ripping, religion off to recognize that we're in a

kingdom. The Bible's by the king is

Kingdom in his role Offspring, and by All rights.

A kingdom is a government. And so, the King has dominion

over his territory and aren't you?

Glad you're part of his territory, aren't you?

Glad that he purchased you with his blood, aren't you?

Glad you've been bought and paid for Or aren't you glad the Holy

Ghost lives in you and bears witness with your spirit.

You're a child of God. Amen.

And so I love being in the congregation's that know a bit

about this because I get feedback every time I go preach

the kingdom and they don't know it as well.

It gets really quiet and I realized that because, you know,

you start filtering through all that you think you know, about

God on it to realize, there's so much.

I still need to know about him and ways that we can operate.

Wait, but I want to talk to you about the pathway to

citizenship. Now, I'm not trying to be

political, so please don't go there.

But at the end of the day, there are a lot of parallels that are

happening in the world, because the world is just trying to find

the Kingdom. At the end of the day, Heaven is

not the place that we're trying to attain to, we're trying to

attain to the kingdom because wherever the kingdom is, that's

where we want to be. Again, we do not want to drop

our thinking and I say drop, I mean lower it to where, all we

are concerned about is where we go.

When we die. Die.

Because every religion has that concern and Christ is bigger

than any religion. In fact, if you actually read

scripture and take the time and don't take it through just a

traditional lens, you'll come to discover that God came down all

the time that in the very beginning.

When God, created the heavens and the Earth and he made, Man

In His Image, according to his likeness and gave him Dominion.

He would come down and walk with him in the cool of the day.

He didn't say, Adam come up here.

I can't wait till you come up here.

I mean, Earth's realm was without sin, Heavens realm was

without sin and God could come and have no issue there.

There was great relationship. Adam wasn't trying to get

somewhere where God was because God was with him.

We know that when Jesus was born hit one of his name's was called

Immanuel, which is what God With Us, right?

We know before that when God made a covenant with Abraham,

Abraham baguette gave birth to Isaac.

Isaac gave birth to Jacob. Jacob.

You know, had 12 sons and their the twat Trot.

Twelve Tribes of Israel because Jacob wrestled with the Lord and

had a name change of Israel. We know that God told Moses,

when he delivered the people out of Egypt to build a tabernacle

why, so he could come down and be with a people.

So, there are so many examples when they built one Solomon.

Built that Temple. The Lord came down, Jesus Is God

With Us and the good news about what Jesus, Jesus says, now is

to your advantage that I go, so that he may not that you may

leave It's to your advantage that I go so that you can leave

to know. So your man is that I go so that

he may come, so that he'll be with you, right?

Then he'll be with you. Amen, it's amazing.

How many people liked how I just can't wait to be with god?

What have you checked inside? I mean, the third person of the

godhead lives in The Believer, I'm 10, we need get revelation

of that good. Let me tell you what the Holy

Ghost would say on a Sunday, I want to go to church.

I want to go to assemble with my brothers and sisters.

Let me tell you what he say on Wednesday night of the place at

your side. I want to go to church.

I want to be with the people that I said, well you let me

tell you what do you want to do with the vision of the church

that he's accentuate? Anything they're doing the Holy

Ghost, be like, let's go do something.

Let's go be a light to the world.

Not to your house. Amen.

I'm glad some of y'all were not Jesus because you would have

never made it to the Cross. You had a hard enough time with

the food that you didn't have to eat.

You'd have been struggling with the way people talked about you

and you just stay home. Amen.

Because I mean, if someone would have slapped it had to be in it.

You know, I'm done with this church stuff.

I'm glad Jesus bore our Stripes that he was beaten so bad, you

couldn't tell. He was a man and said, I won't

let nothing stop me from fulfilling the purpose that my

Father, sent me, amen. The third person of the godhead

is in you. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. I have come to find out the

closer we get to the end, the boulder.

We're going to have to be, I mean even in the church

preaching, amen. Because the enemy, there's a

great deception that is already in the Earth.

In fact, the Bible tells us in the last of the last days,

they'll be seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

One of the greatest things that happen on the planet is the

deception of many. So if you're not gearing up this

relationship, you actually have and growing in it and learning

how to be led by the spirit of God.

Even though you're a child of God, you will run the risk, not

just run it, it is emphatic, that it will happen to you.

Because James Let the church know he said, I listened

Brethren, right? James chapter 1.

James 1 · chapter mention

He said I listen, don't get all jacked up when you enter the

trials and tribulations, right? Be of good cheer, but he goes on

in that same chapter he says now you need to be doers of the word

and not hearers only deceiving themselves.

There are many that are in congregations that are in

places. They call church.

And I'm not even saying that's not Church.

Some probably, Aren't. But some are, and they're just

hearing the word but they're not acting on it.

Living it out and they are under the great deception, a taught

by, but by All rights, they are children of God.

Amen. But not here, say not here, say

not with me. I will hear the voice of God and

I will obey it. Amen.

There's nothing that we should do.

More than obey the voice of God. God's always coming down?

Always coming down, always coming down, guess what?

He's going to come down again when he catches us up.

Now, again that event is just an event, it's not forever because

if you read the book, you'll find that will be caught up

together with him in the air. It actually says Okay, in the

air. Right.

And then he'll return after that, tribulation period with

the Saints. So when we're caught up, you're

coming back. Coming back to the planet and

you're going to reign with him for a thousand years and then I

just have to surmise at the end. You know, when they judge the

dead and that the great white Throne judgment and they throw

all those into the Lake of Fire of those who chose to, not

accept Jesus as Lord. Throw Satan in there, himself

throw death and the grave in there as well.

Then it says, he'll burn the heavens and the Earth.

And I just believe is probably going to be like, Shadrach

Meshach and Abednego, we're going to be Right here on the

planet, it's gonna go up in Flames.

We're gonna be just watching it burn.

Come on, we'll be in our glorified bodies.

Be right there in the midst of the fire, watch it all burn, and

then we have a new Heaven and a new Earth, and then we'll just

watch as the New Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven.

Shouts come down out of heaven and hits the planet Glory that

God. And all of a sudden, the gate to

be opened and the King will be in the air and the father will

come down and Jesus will take His authority and hand it back

over to Daddy God the father. And he'll say now, I'll hold

this already on the planet and never be lost again glory to God

where what a great day to be a men but he's in us now the

greater one is in us now. See we talk about the United

States, you know like you know there's this great pride of

nation, right? You know many the cultures and

Nations on the earth when you go to the Olympics or stuff there's

like a great what you would consider a pride or this

allegiance to their Nation. They have this inside them.

They want to represent their country.

How much more should we represent?

The kingdom of God? Amen.

And here's the thing, although the kingdom of God is made

available for everyone. There's only a select few to get

in. It's a very prestigious nation.

In fact, our Chancellor Chancellor, Brian he was born in

Germany, okay? His father was deployed over

there and not that there was an issue.

He was just at a base over there in Germany, and that's when he

was born. And so, you know, they came back

to the states, right? And so years later, you know,

really within the last 10 years, I think it was he Ended up

contacting Germany and and asked about, you know, receiving

citizenship since he was born there he thought I would like to

hold dual citizenship and so when he you know, contacted

them, they lasted him and said we don't give away citizenship

like you Americans do. We value our citizenship.

Wow, make almost get you offended, right?

There's like it's not that easy for you to become a citizen just

because you were born in our country, you are actually on a

US base and we just don't give it out like you do.

So in essence, he won't receive dual citizenship.

Even though he is born in that Nation, are you hearing what I'm

saying? Well, you understand God has a

way into his Amen. I said he has a way into his and

we need to learn that because right now in our world, you

know, people, you know, don't understand that there's

boundaries associated with Nations.

And, and however, the world operates really doesn't matter.

In one sense, I don't care, whether it's open borders, are

closed, borders, be honest with you.

It doesn't really matter to me in one sense.

Okay, what I'm saying is that there is a kingdom side though.

So whether the us or Germany or Thailand, you know, whatever

Nation doesn't really matter. Okay.

Whatever their policy is in a pathway to citizenship.

There is a pathway to citizenship.

Up in the kingdom of God. And so we need to look at this

again because at the end of the day, anyone going from a nation

to a nation. Is going for this purpose and

opportunity to have a better life.

I mean, how do you fault that? Right now, I'm not going to say

that there aren't people coming from Nations into another Nation

for the sake of trying to destroy it.

Right, we know that that would be truth as well because the

reality is they're not actually wanting to have an allegiance to

their new nation. What they want to do is want to

infiltrate it so that the nation they came from can dominate it

or get in, because a lot of times, you know, the best way to

take something down as from the inside, right?

It's from the inside, but we'll see some of this in scripture,

anyway, all right, so in John 3:3, Look what Jesus says, Jesus

John 3:3

answered and said to them to him that, This is Nicodemus, is it

about a religious leader? Okay, it's about 2:30. 3:00 a.m.

in the morning, okay? This guy came out to him in

private because obviously he didn't want the rest of the

Pharisees to know that he was talking to Jesus.

And so he's asking him some questions about the kingdom or

you know, that he's from God, and Jesus just puts it out right

here. He says, truly, truly, I say to

you unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

So the first thing we have to realize that, right?

Here. And this goes in line with

Ephesians when it says it's not of any Works, lest any man

should boast meaning. We can't work our way, pay our

way for a citizenship in the Kingdom of God.

In order to be a true citizen of God's kingdom, you must be born

of the Kingdom. Born, which tells us that you

can't come to church with Mom and mom, get you in.

You can't hang out in the church and act like you're part of its

Nation. Unless you're a born of it.

Are you hearing what I'm saying using some terms today?

Again don't get offended because there's legal and illegal.

And many of you are illegal half the time when it comes to

driving, you illegally drive over the speed limit.

So don't get all caught up with the word illegal, okay?

Illegal just means not lawful in The process of something, and

I'm going to talk like this. I'm not going to be, I'm not

gonna backtrack. Over your sensitivity weatherall

honor here. Okay, so let's use our brain.

Instead of just, you know, taking a bunch of talking points

off of Twitter, CNN, MSNBC Fox News or whatever, okay?

Okay. So if you drive over the speed

limit by All rights, you are an illegal.

Okay? So there are legal ways to

access Nations and illegal ways to access Nations and illegal

way. For you to think that you can

access the kingdom of God, is that you can work in a way that

God is impressed with your goodness.

But the reality is, you're not in.

Here's the thing. Again, you can be in the church.

Come to every service but by All rights.

You are an illegal alien in the congregation.

Which means you are forfeiting some rights because you don't

have them. because you're not of the nation even though you're

around those who are period. And again, someone who's legally

in the Kingdom can bless you has rights can get things for you.

But at the end of the day, Unless you're born again, you're

not a citizen. I said, you're not a citizen.

You understand. Someone can come to this nation

or any Nation for that matter. Unlawfully, right.

And still get help. But that doesn't make you a

citizen. You can receive the benefits

actually of that nation and still not be a part of it.

Right? And this happens day in and day

out in churches, where people are receiving benefits from the

kingdom of God, like food, clothing, Healthcare.

Don't worry about what you're going to eat, what you gonna

drink or what you going, where right?

They can come to the church. His nation and those citizens

are very benevolent and they're like we you need some clothes.

Here, you need to eat here. You're sick.

Let me lay hands on you and administer, the healthcare

system of the kingdom, and then they receive healing.

Write a bill needs to be paid. We pay the bill but at the end

of the day, they're still not a citizen.

Still not a citizen and they can jump from one Embassy to the

next one congregation to the next and and receive out of that

Nation. Yet in the end, if they do not

repent, Then they'll find out and they know honestly, they

will be in the Kingdom that they are part of which is the kingdom

of darkness, right? Okay, so Jesus says, unless

you're born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.

So, this nation is only by Birthright, which in light, here

we go, in like manner, then in the United States, than if the

United States were the kingdom of God, then Essence, unless you

were born in this, those 50 states, you're not getting in

Period. Okay.

Okay, I'll go over here. I'm just trying to give you a

natural sense. If you were not born here, you

cannot get in Period. There is not another pathway.

See what God. There is another pathway.

You're either born in it or you're not.

You're either born in it. Are you not now in the natural?

You're only born once. Which means if you weren't on

the soil, then you would have the mentality would be according

to God, is you never have an opportunity.

You would never be a US citizen. If that was their policy.

We only have citizens that are born here.

I'm not saying there aren't Nations kind of like that.

I'll probably do a little bit of research.

Now that said that because I got one that popped up in my spirit

and I'll study that out and maybe talk to you next week

about it because again, you're like, wow, how close minded is

that? Well, I mean, if that's what

they did natural but God's not close-minded.

God says I can get you born again.

But it's still, the only way. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

So let's go on because Jesus was very direct.

Right. Very direct and how to become a

citizen of his kingdom in John 14:6.

John 14:6

Jesus said to them, I am the not, I am a I am thee.

Now, I am a Well I mean do you really believe that all those

people that are saying they love God and just doing a little bit

different than the way you do. It aren't getting in yes yes

absolutely without a doubt. No Doubt.

Period. Now why does this offend people

because people want to do it their way instead of saying

cheese, the creator of Heaven and Earth made it like super

simple. He got rid of all of the

confusion. He did he made a such an

emphatic statement that I don't have to wonder whether Islam is

it or whether Buddhism is it or whether you know Hinduism is Is

it or whether humanism is it, or whether atheism is it?

I mean, that's like someone giving you a test and circling

the answer And you still Mark something else.

I mean seriously you get a multiple choice, right?

And he fills in every bubble. The only way you blow that scan

is you go and fill in your own bubbles.

Now, you got more than one answer and now all of a sudden

it kicks you out or causes it to wrong even though the right

answer is already there, all you got to do is sign your name all.

You had to assign a name to the test and turn it in but you want

to sign your name and it's a I don't know if I agree with that.

Well I mean wow. I mean seriously, you're like

wow. Siri you would actually blow a

hundred percent perfect task just so you think you're better.

Well, some may say that that's not it.

I don't care what some may say. He's eternal.

Oh Hallelujah. And again anytime someone pushes

you in this direction, oh like get a hottie about that, you

know, like I can't I can't believe that.

You think some human would be smarter than God.

And at the end of they all you're doing is asking me to

believe someone, you know or some book you read or somebody

else's word over the word of God.

That's all you're doing. You're asking me to do the same

thing I'm doing but you're telling me to put my trust in

some individuals name or somebody else's.

Thought instead of God's thoughts.

Why don't you go to his thoughts?

Right? I mean, when they call you

close-minded, just say no Mom has been wide open to Eternity.

Yeah. I mean my God made it so simple.

I mean you still complicating it.

Well what do you think about what songs so said who was so

on? So I mean half the time you

ain't even met so-and-so. And you're like, believing

so-so. It's simple.

Jesus said I am the way the again.

Well, do you think the stuff going on in this religion?

Jesus says I'm not a truth. I'm the truth.

Now, most in fact, basically, all other religions, even a

theater even being an atheist, has some truth, they've grabbed

something from God and then created their own thing because

that's how they can try to reinforce the lie.

I mean in that what the devil did has got not said you can't

eat from any tree of the garden and Eve says you stand

corrected. God said I 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. I eat.

I'll die. There's the truth, then he goes,

you ain't going down. He just needed a truth to

reinforce his law. And all these other religions

are trying to grab some portion of God because you know what are

they coming? Well how do you know your books

right? You know I mean they wrote that

book over. What was already going on?

No they did again. You're trying to get me to

believe that somebody else that our book was barred from someone

else's story. But here's the thing, the author

of the book actually is inside me.

That's what's different. I actually have the author of

the book on the inside of his skin suit.

It's, you can't see talking to my spirit, man, saying, that's a

lie. I was there.

When we pinned the page, I was in the cell with Paul when it

was happening and his sweat was coming down at 3:00 in the

morning. I was there when God spoke and

it happened, I was there when a sorry liar wrote that other book

and I tried to let them no through this individual go that

direction. He was there and he's in me.

Hallelujah. Now, I'm not confident in me.

I'm confident in him, because he actually talks to me right

again. I hear your voice.

I hear his voice. So, again, what are you doing?

You're trying to make me decide that I should listen to your

voice more than the voice. I literally here on the inside.

See, this is how you can talk to the World when they come at you

on these things like okay, so all you want me to do is hear

your words and not the words I hear from the Holy Ghost on the

inside of me. You decide.

Do I follow man or God? I mean, this has been in

scripture before I just read it with Peter here at Acts chapter

Acts 5 · chapter mention

5 and 6 this morning man and Peter was like you decide

whether we obey, man, or obey, God, you pass a law.

Telling me, I can't preach in the name of Jesus, I'm gonna

tell you right now. I got a kingdom that supersedes

yours, and you may kill me on the Earth, but you can't kill

me. Because I'll come back to judge

you. I'm going to do what God says he

hear me. So he said, I am the way.

I am the truth, I am the life again.

These are these statements. These are not a statements.

It would be different if he just said I'm away.

I'm a truth. I'm alive.

I'm like, okay, well he's won. No different than when we go to

India that point, you know, just add Jesus to the rest of the

gods. They have.

How many guys are they have over there?

Miss Amina. Thousands right, thousands,

thousands. Now they have a few that are

like top-tier, you know, their top tier.

I don't know why their top tier but they are, but the rest of,

you know, there's just everywhere.

And so when I have to, when I preach the kingdom of God there,

I'm like, you have to denounce every other God.

Don't you ask Jesus to the list of the, you can't add him.

You denounced the rest, but see, that's what citizenship is

citizenship, is, is I denounce the The nation, I was in.

I have no more allegiance to it and my full Allegiance now is to

the nation that I'm born of and I only fight for that Nation.

I only support that Nation. It's my only thought process.

He said, I am the way, the truth and the life.

No one comes to the father, but through me, this Pathway to

citizenship in Matthew 7:13-14, the passion.

Matthew 7:13–14

Elation says this come to God through the narrow gate.

What kind of gate is? It narrow gate because wide say

wide wide is the gate that leads to destruction.

Now again we want big opportunities, we want it to be

really big, right? Oh that's a big gate.

I can go in there. Look at all these people, the

magenta now, look at this. Now wide is the gate that leads

to destruction. Nearly everyone chooses that

crowded road. So that tells me the T.

Is going in a direction. And if you find that your

thinking and your lifestyle is in with the majority, you might

be on the wrong road. I mean, that is enough nugget

for me when I'm starting to think and I'm hearing stuff

going on the world and how you should respond to situations.

If the whole planet is in lockstep, I'm thinking that

might not be the right Road. That just might not be the right

Road. Because nearly everybody, this

is sad. This is actually a very

depressing scripture. Nearly everyone chooses that

crowded Road, the narrow gate and the difficult way leads to

lie eternal life. So if you even find it, I've

come to realize, there's not going to be an overcrowding in

the kingdom of God. But there will be an

overcrowding. In the Lake of Fire.

Now, do I think it'll be crowded like they're going to be bumping

into each other? No but there would be a lot.

It is by their choice. You know why it's difficult to

do the narrow gate? Because it's just easy to live,

according to your flesh and follow the, and be led by your

side. It's just easy to respond the

way everyone else does. It's just as easy.

To get mad and angry like everybody else to be tempted and

do the Temptation like everybody else.

It's easy to send, it's easy to send.

It's like he's evil, right? That was, there was a time that

was you're like super easy for you, you know?

Hopefully it's difficult for you at this juncture.

Hopefully is like a very difficult task, you know, you're

like I don't want to do that. There's the time, it was easy

and it's easy. The world just follows it Ron's.

They do what they give to their passions.

They give to their emotions, they give to the way they feel,

they give to the This abs and flows of everything.

They're carried around by everything, they're just in

full-blown deception, and they're all being led to

slaughter. Yep.

But there are few that all of a sudden, see this paths kind of

like this stripe down here at down here on the floor.

If you haven't been up here, you ought to come up after

servicing. You see it, I mean, it's pretty

easy to see that line. and so if I knew life was on the line, If

life is on the line. Now be easy to step off this

line. Be very easy.

Because there's way more carpet Square somewhere else.

But this is life, life is on the line.

Here's the thing I know where it's going.

I mean I can see it, it's pretty clear.

And this is God, God is a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our

path. He makes the Crooked places

straight. I mean, God Is So makes it so

easy for Humanity. This is why I want you when

people stand before him one day, all are without excuse.

You're not going to complicate it, you'll have no case. because

here's the thing that I know is the most crushing in the

Judgment of Jesus. Is that God himself talks to you

about what's truth and who is truth?

And what is the way? And he'll open up your spirit

man, on that day, where, you know, that you heard God's voice

and you said no. Pathway to citizenship, we call

it an Arab. I call it easy.

And the context was difficult, though, the difficulty, is you

laying down your flesh, the difficulty is you laying down

your own will the difficulty, is you want to do it your way?

Said the majority of Christian thinking specially in the United

States today is that I'm just asking Jesus to come into my

heart and save me because it's about a after life.

After I'm in this suit existence, it has nothing to do

with now. So, how I live today in his

kingdom is he relevant? But that's not what the Bible

teaches. It's not what the Bible teaches

that all, there's a pathway to citizenship, John chapter 10

John 10:1

verse 1. Says, this truly truly, I say to

you, he who does not enter by the door, into the fault of the

sheep. But climbs up some other way, he

is a thief and a robber robber. What he's saying here is that if

you're trying to get into the church, another way, You're a

thief and you're trying to steal something that's his and it's

just not going to work. You're not a citizen's what I'm

saying. You can't get another way he

said, unless you do the door, this is who you are.

You jump down to verse 7. Jesus said to them again, truly

truly, I say to you. Ah, I am the door of the sheep.

Jesus is the door. No man comes to the father, but

through me, unless a man is born again, he can't even see the

Kingdom, right? Okay.

And this is a narrow gate. Why is it narrower?

Because it's Jesus. I said it's Jesus mama.

Can't get you in. Daddy, can't get you in grandma.

Can't get you in on to can get you in.

Doesn't happen. Nobody else can get you in

pasture. Can't get you in profit.

Can't get you in profit. Can't prophesy you.

You can't pay money to the church to get you in and keep

you out of purgatory. Can't do it.

No, you gotta go through Jesus, do a confession of faith that he

came and he died on the cross and Rose from the grave and then

he saved your life from Eternal damnation and delivered.

You out of a nation that had a tyrannical ruler and you call

Jesus Lord, which is an allegiance to the one who is

supreme and authority and Allegiance.

I mean, how do you deny your nation?

I mean, I was in the Army. How do I deny My nation if it

calls me to go. How do you deny that?

Well, I tell you. Deny you say I ain't going for

these other reason and they throw you in jail and discharge

you. But I voluntarily said I will

defend the nation, so when the nation calls you put aside

everything else. Because no Nation will stay well

defended if their citizens are willing to fight.

We are citizens of the kingdom of heaven and we have a fight,

it's called the fight of faith and your nation calls you to

fight the good fight of Faith. But what we want is citizenship

after we leave and no fight while we're down here.

Your nation calls come to prayer.

Oh shut up. Come to prayer and intercede on

behalf of those stuck in another Nation.

Like well I you know I got to stay home with my kids man you

just ask him way too much of me. Oh yes, quiet.

Now we understand citizenship. I mean if you pick and choose,

it's a religion to you. That's what every other religion

picking and choosing how they want to believe God.

But when you're a citizen and you're connected with a vision,

that's moving for God and with God, then you'll hear the call

and you'll step up to the plate. Hallelujah.

Glory to God, do some self-evaluation.

Amen. And honestly, man, I'm just

gonna be honest with you, man. Life ain't near as Citizens

right now in this particular Nation today, it ain't near as

bad as some other nations for people to stay citizens and that

in the kingdom of God. I felt like we could help him a

whole lot more. I there's no reason why God

hasn't deployed us here so that our intercession helps those

that are in the other nations being more oppressed.

But you got to answer the call fight the good fight of Faith.

Got to answer the call. Me really what calling your

lives bigger than that? I mean, really, what could you

possibly be doing greater than the call of God in your life?

And at the end of the day, God is not calling all of us to come

here every day 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

That's not he wants us to influence the world but in 168

hours a day a a week I mean not a day that sometimes I feel like

I need that but 168 hours in a week.

Any time the Call Comes you should say my allegiance is to

my nation. As a citizen.

I need to come fight the good fight of Faith.

Hallelujah. Alright verse 9, the 10th

chapter of John, amen. Just like somebody say, this is

really good. Say it in faith, even if you

don't believe it, just say it. Jesus said, I am the door.

If anyone enters through me, he will be what.

So the implication is, if your fence jumper, you're not You're

not saved. Got to enter in through the

door. He said he will be saved and

will go in and out and find pasture.

Well, you'll get the benefits of the Kingdom.

This word door here, the Thayer's defines door here, and

John 10:9, the door of the Kingdom of Heaven.

John 10:9

Likened to a palace denotes the condition, which must be

compiled with in order to be received into the kingdom of

God. It's the only way you're going

to get in. Jesus is the pathway to

citizenship if you want to be a part of the kingdom of God.

His Nation God's kingdom. Then you must enter in through

the door. You must believe in your heart

that Jesus Christ came born of a virgin that he died on a cross

as a substitute for our Rebellion, our transgression,

our sin that's just our Disobedience to the crown of God

to his throne is our way of doing life, which is in

Rebellion to His way of doing it and he is life.

So the minute we don't do it his way.

We're in death, it's called separation.

We're separated from the kingdom.

And we were stuck in a domain, a kingdom of darkness where that

ruler dominated Our Lives destroyed.

Our lives only had one agenda for our lives to kill steal and

destroy, leave us a mess, not only us but our seed for four

five. Ten Generations, why offering a

wide way Way. Of what seemed like hope, peace.

And all it ins is death. Right.

But Jesus is the only way in and so he's the door.

He said, I am the door. If you'll confess me as your

lord supreme authority, you'll be saved.

I'll pull you out of that Kingdom.

We see this in Colossians chapter 1, starting in verse 13,

Colossians 1 · chapter mention

to verse 14. It says, for he, that's Jesus

rescued us from the domain of Darkness.

Us the authority and power. The one who had you, Chained and

Shackled. You know, everybody likes those

songs about my chains are gone. Well, they may be gone off your

spirit but some of you still Shackled in your mind's, in your

behavior because you're not acting like a citizen.

You're acting like a religious person that just wants to go to

heaven when you die. So you got to get the shackles

off your brain off, you thinking off your mind and off your body.

So do you don't have addictions are your body's telling you what

to do? I made this statement in and at

Transformation Church, I said you going to let a plant talk to

you have dominion over you. You gonna let tobacco tell you

what to do? And today, you know, the

marijuana plant is dominating. I mean, have you seen them pop

up all over ours. Now I hear you because some

people like my pastor Earle. I mean people need that because

you know, they have some real serious ailments in issues and

it helps them you know what and maybe it does but God never

wants you addicted to a plan. He only wants you to have one

dependency and that's the blood of Jesus.

So rise out of the plant life into the blood life.

That's what I'm saying. Come out of the plant life and

get into the blood life of Jesus caused by his stripes.

Not only, will he not mask your pain but he will deliver you

from the pain. Because smoking you dope and

drinking your alcohol and getting your body numb to the

pain doesn't change. The pain.

In fact, many of you are getting worse and parts of your body

because they've gone so numb, that you're doing stuff that you

can't do, but you can't feel it until it wears off.

But Jesus a heal your body. I said he'll heal your body.

Amen. Don't be it.

Don't know Phil a shame because the Healthcare System of your

kingdom does. More than put us.

Put a mask over something, but it actually cures you listen in

the kingdom of God. There's a thing called The Cure.

You can be cured of cancer. Not put in remission.

You can be cured of epilepsy of of muscular sir.

Yes, you can be cured. Of HIV.

You can be cured of covid turd. There's no disease.

The blood doesn't take care of and this is a right to the

citizen in the Kingdom. I mean, one of the biggest

challenges in most Nations today is offering the benefit to their

citizens called Healthcare. Amen.

Now listen wherever you're at, just grow.

That's what I'm saying. I mean there was a time in my

life that every Thanksgiving man, I would come down with the

flu like all the time and I was skinny guy, right?

And I wanted to eat and get bigger and that's when you had a

bountiful amount that you could write, get a couple extra ounces

and so, but I couldn't eat during us like how it's like

cyclical man every year. Then I found, About healing.

I thought why am I letting flu show up every flu season like it

has a right to me. So I had to change my thinking.

What does that mean? That I've never taken NyQuil

before. Sure, I've taken NyQuil.

Does that mean that I've never put a plop plop fizz fizz?

Oh, what a relief, it is sure I've done but I didn't rely on

it. There came a point where I'm

like, hey let me fight this here and I've found that I've won me

and Milan of battles with that that I didn't have to go to

apply. I'll go to a plop, plop fizz

tomorrow if necessary but I won't stay in a plop.

Plop, fizz fizz life? No sir no I'll get in the word

and rise up. I'll say Lord changed my

thinking cause my faith to increase.

Let me try Just you at your word, you can raise the dead.

My gosh, you can heal my body. This is easy for you.

So help me believe because you know, Smith Wigglesworth who had

multiple miracles happen in his ministry.

He said, one of the greatest downfalls of the miraculous of

healing in the church, body will be the advancement of Medical

Science because people will put more trust and what a doctor

says about something in a pill that you didn't even see

process. You have no idea half of us

can't even read the stuff it is. I mean the words are so big.

So, what am I a moxa? Millen.

What's a mock mock? Sicilian?

Who can't pronounce it, right? I mean, it's like, what even is

that? You can't even pronounce.

All you want to do is no take one three times a day and you'll

walk around. How you doing.

Well, I'm taking my I'm not against your medicine, I'm just

saying if you'll be dedicated there all you got to do a shift

it over to the word because the word does good like a medicine

and eventually got to be like you know what?

It's fine. You were there and that helped

you along but ultimately less arrived.

Let's go on and get to another place.

Where more than often That belief is an analyst faith comes

by hearing. So here's the thing just

because, you know, it don't mean, you're going to have the

dose of it, okay? Yes.

Thank you. Lord, nobody takes a

prescription takes one starts feeling better off the one in

never finishes, the rest. Now, many of you do take a few

days, start feeling better and didn't finish it.

That's true. And then, sometimes it comes

back and like, man, I should have finished a prescription.

Same thing. You got healed once with the

Lord, but then you're not in scripture anymore.

I mean you want to come down someone lay hands on you to

administer healing but then you don't faith comes by hearing not

from having heard so you're not going to maintain Health.

Some of y'all that have gone on, you know, I don't want to say a

diet because I mean diets, a negative term, even though

that's what it is. You you change the way you ate.

So that means then your body perform based upon different

eating habits. and the only way you're going to maintain that is

if you don't go back to the old habit, Right.

Oh Hallelujah and man when you get your body pure you go back

to some stuff that's like Ms hurts.

I had a doughnut and trans formation Church.

Yeah. Seminole Texas.

They had these little donut shops becomes desperate.

Tom's people, it's desperate times.

I mean, I don't even think they had a McDonald's know, they

didn't even have a McDonald's people.

Yeah, desperate times. So I was looking for a cup of

coffee, went to the donut shop. That's why I went That's true.

That's true statement. And I went and pulled the coffee

self-serve off the bun, machinist at the cafe, and a

little red container of Folgers was behind it.

Desperate times people desperate times.

At this juncture, if I'm going to drink this kerosene, I've

gonna have to get something else in me to help offset this thing.

So but do not win and I felt it. It's like I felt the sugar

running through my veins man, it was crazy bills like right?

It's horrible. You're like why do you do it to

yourself? There was nothing else to eat.

People. There was nothing else to eat.

Oh my gosh. But hey, the Lord He's alright.

It's alright. I've passed it all now.

I've passed it all. We're moving on to greener

pastures, Hallelujah. I mean, it didn't kill me, but I

felt it's what I'm saying. Amen.

All right, y'all. All right.

Okay, let's keep going. Colossians chapter 1, verse 12

Colossians 1:12–14

to 14 says this, for he rescued us from the domain of darkness

and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

In whom we have Redemption, the forgiveness of sin.

See that's when you become Come a citizen.

See his ceremonies pretty amazing, too.

Because when he threw the pathway of citizenship, when you

acknowledge Jesus is Lord through his death, burial and

Resurrection through his death on the cross and Resurrection

from the grave, by the power of the Holy Ghost and he's Lord of

your life. And you say, forgive me of all

my wrongdoing, I acknowledge is the Lord of my life.

When you do that, then the Lord has a celebration in heaven.

A ceremony takes place, right? That all the The angels in

heaven, Rejoice over the one. Citizen.

Now The Sinner who's come home. This rebellious treasonist, this

in another nation that was an enemy to God.

Has now been turned and has become a citizen of the kingdom

of God, he transfer you out of the domain of Darkness where

into the kingdom of his beloved Son, when does that occur, that

does not occur in heaven, that occurs immediately in the realm

of the spirit, which Means then you are to denounce.

See when we say repent, which means change your thinking, but

many times through the religious side they choose it.

As a 180 you are determined away from it.

Really, you are now saying I am siding with the party of Jesus,

one translation meets me that repent, me side with my party in

SS. I'm leaving this nation called,

it's no good. This is why I don't fault.

People coming from other nations that are looking for a better

nation and they want to denounce it and come over.

Cause here's the problem us that are born in it, we're denouncing

it and wanting the benefits of it.

How could someone do that? Well, Christians do it all the

time. They get born again and then

denounced. Through their lifestyle and

behavior. They don't even know their own

Nation. For people to become citizens of

the United States, they have to actually study our history.

We don't even care about our history.

And then we make demands of our leaders.

And say we want to be like another Nation.

I mean, I don't work in the Kingdom.

You're not gonna say Jesus. Now, listen, this is all great,

right? I'm glad you saved me.

That's awesome. I don't want to have to burn

forever. This is nice.

But here's the thing, I mean, you know, now there are some

things in my other Nation. I was really kind of cool.

Okay. Okay.

You don't want to go there as fine.

How do I know it's been in the church because there was a time

in our nation that you were only known as a US citizen or an

American period. That's all that mattered.

But something's happened that all of a sudden we started

reaching back and we started having another association with

the word America. African American Irish American,

Hispanic American Asian American.

Like all of a sudden, we wanted to go back and we want this

culture to somehow manifest here.

How do I know it's in the church?

But we say this. Well, I'm just a sinner saved by

grace. I'm a sinner Christian.

Instead of being a Christian. Or believer.

I'm a I'm I send like you but I'm got Grace.

Okay, you put your reaching back because you have lost your

Allegiance, only to the citizenship that you're in.

You're longing for something your flesh wants.

But there's nothing ever offered in that nation that you can't

have it in this nation with freedom, you're not going to

change the King on the policies. Of when you can have sexual

relationship, you're not changing it.

The king's not going to say. Yeah, I get it.

You love them. I mean we don't need to get

married. I mean it's okay.

I mean as long as you love me that's all that matters.

Kings never gonna say that. He's going to save the citizens

and my nation are only having sexual relation, when the man

and the woman come together as one, then it's permitted.

Everything else. Everything else?

Is unlawful as a citizen. It's not of our nation.

Are you do is read the book because in the end, when all

that's left is the kingdom of God, none of that activity is

going to be happening. None.

Okay. Philippians 3.

Y'all doing. All right, let me just want this

down there. Hey, Wanda down.

Philippians chapter 3. How do I know you're a citizen?

Philippians 3 · chapter mention

Because the Bible says so Philippians 3:17 to 20, you're

Philippians 3:17–20

doing great. Love you Brethren Brethren.

That's us the church Brethren. Join in following my example and

observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.

So when you become a citizen, there is a pattern.

There is a culture as a behavior that is fitting with the citizen

of a kingdom will talk about that later for many walk of

whom, I MA who I often told you. And now tell you even weeping

that they are enemies of the Cross of Christ of Cross of

Christ. So they used to operate like a

citizen because they were a citizen but now their behavior

is actually an enemy to their own Nation.

I mean, it doesn't sit well with any nation and it should not sit

well with you. if someone in the United States that you're a

citizen of if you are, Betrayed your nation and sold our secrets

to another nation that was an enemy alike.

Throw that dude in jail or lady whatever.

Really, they were Spa, they were doing that undermining us this

whole time. And yet, this is what happens

here. Believers in the kingdom of God.

Now undermining their own Nation through their walk.

He said in verse 19, whose end is destruction, whose God is

their appetite and whose glory is in their shame, who set their

minds on Earthly things. But look at verse 24 hour.

What? For our, what is in heaven, from

which we also, for which also we eagerly wait for the Savior for

a savior. The Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, just cause your citizenship is in heaven, doesn't mean it's

confined to heaven. And because when I go to another

Nation, I'm not in the u.s. anymore, but my rights are not

confined to that Nation alone. Nor are its resources.

Because I've had some guys in here that are US citizens that

were in the service. They were to deploy to a foreign

territory and they had the resources of the Home Country,

show up with them. So, although their citizenship

was in the United States, when they were in those other

territories, the resources of that Nation, showed up the

commands, showed up the food, showed up, the provision, showed

up and the finance. They were taking care of the

health care went with them. Oh, the money went with them.

The resources, they need to do to accomplish the purpose of

that Nation went with them. The orders came from the actual

soil, their citizenship was in. And even though they weren't

present, they were able to relay the information in the Unseen

and they were able to extract that information and carry out

an assignment. So, Even though your citizenship

is in heaven, meaning your name's been logged into the

Lamb's Book of Life. You don't have to be there to

enjoy the benefits of citizenship.

Some other translations of verse 20 says that this way, the

Amplified classic says it this way but we are citizens of the

state Commonwealth Homeland, which is in heaven.

And from it we also for and from it also, we earnestly and

patiently, wait, the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the

Messiah as Savior, the Weymouth translation says we however are

free citizens of heaven and we are waiting for with longing

expectation of the coming from Heaven of a savior, the Lord

Jesus Christ. Bible.

Basic English says it this way for our country is in heaven

from where the Savior for whom we are waiting will come even

the Lord, Jesus Christ. A faithful version, AFV says it

this way. But for us, the Commonwealth of

God exists in the heavens from where we also, we are waiting

for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Easy read version says, that this way, but the government

that rules us is in heaven. We are waiting For our savior,

the Lord Jesus Christ to come from there.

The passion translation, says it this way but we are a colony of

Heaven on Earth as we cling tightly to our life Giver the

Lord Jesus Christ. So the kingdom citizen

principles, this citizenship in a kingdom is not a right, but a,

but a privilege citizens are chosen by the king and our

beneficiaries of the king's pleasure and promise.

What did John 16:15? 16 say you did not choose me,

John 16:15

But I chose you. God hand-picked you one day,

aren't you? Glad you came down the narrow

way. I said, aren't you glad you came

down the narrow way? So again, you don't you can't

say, well, we have a right to that.

No, you got to be picked for it. Now, here's the thing.

God wants to pick the world. And offers it to the world, but

there's only one way in. I said there's only one way in.

Through him. We'll close with this passage of

scripture, Ephesians chapter 2, verse 18 and 19 says for through

Ephesians 2:18

him. We both have our access in one

Spirit to the father so that you are no longer strangers and

Aliens but you are fellow what citizens with the Saints And our

of God's household. Here's the awesome thing about

the nation, where are our? We are of we're all related to

one another number one. Number two.

We all are of the god kind, which is a king kind.

We're royalty in the nation. We're of as Citizens, all of

God, citizens are Kings. Unlike in the United States

where you still to this day have opportunities to Excel or not.

And this particular type of society, okay?

Still today, it still is able to happen and some other nations.

You have to be tight with the government or you have nothing.

Right. And those are usually more

corrupted nature on the Earth. And God's kingdom.

He says all my citizens are Kings.

All of them because he's the king of kings.

So the minute you made, citizenship in God's kingdom,

you made kingship. Wow, what an awesome Nation we

are in. There's only one way, I said,

there's only one way. It is through Jesus.

It's through Jesus. I'm glad that I know Jesus.

Because the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be

present with the Lord. And our church, last week,

suffered a tragedy. We have one of our own go home

early. It's never easy during those

Tom's. The time were in right now, it's

not easy. Because we just don't want to be

separated seeing God's original intent.

He never intended for us to ever die. for he told Adam if you

don't eat the fruit to eat the fruit, you die, if you don't,

and if Adam had never eaten the fruit, then none of us ever

would have experienced death But unfortunately death is in the

Earth and there is an enemy out there that kills Steals and

destroys and there are situations that happen around

that. We just don't always get the

answer. But I know this is truth.

That God is never at fault. that God loves and that if there's

something I miss I know that God is good.

Always, I want to thank you as your pastor because when we got

news, we asked the question. Is it time to come home now?

And I heard the Spear of the Lord say My body is taken care

of this right now. You do your assignment here and

they're doing that assignment there because you're all

reflecting me. And I'm so thankful that you

reflected Jesus. we've got some things, we still have to go

through, but at the end of the day, one day.

When we see Steve again will never not see.

And that is very amazing. He knows more about the kingdom

than we do today. He does.

And I know this, I guarantee it, I have no doubt, I have no doubt

why. Cause scriptures already told me

Because if someone who didn't even know, God would ask Abraham

to send someone back to tell his brothers, to testify of

something different than a child of God is standing with a cloud

of witnesses right now. Say you do your assignment.

You finish your purpose, you get it done, don't leave a moment

early. Because we're coming back and I

guarantee he's probably saying it may be closer than you think,

not that, he knows because no one knows except the father.

But I bet there's a sense. I bet there's a sense.
