If it's on your gadgets, you can open in your gadgets wherever I you

-
the petroum again, called Jesus and said to him, are you the King
-
of the Jews. Let's go, Jesus answered him, Are you speaking for
-
yourself about this? Or are you readys ready together? Hallelujah? Have we
-
ready together? All right, let's read it together. John chapter eighteen,
-
verse thirty three. Let's go, And are you the King of the Jews?
-
Jesus answered him, Are you speaking for yourself about this or did others
-
tell you this concerning me? Pilot answered, am I a Jew your own
-
nation and the chief priest have delivered you to me? What have you done?
-
Thirty six? Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world.
-
If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight so that I
-
should not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from
-
here. Let the Lord add his blessing to his word. In Jesus' name,
-
our ride and they resume your seat. God bless you, hallelujah,
-
But a blessing, Thank God for today, thank God for life. We
-
are praying where He will lead us to and then where we will land.
-
Amen. So last week we started on the Kingdom series and we are continuing.
-
Today's salmon title is the Kingdom is not of this world. The Kingdom
-
is not of this world. Hallelujah. So this is Jesus talking, and
-
that's a type tell of the message. The kingdom is not of this world.
-
The Kingdom is not of this world. Can we have a definition of
-
a kingdom on the board? Can you quickly said something? Or if not,
-
you can just go ahead. Kingdom is a country state. According to
-
the Oxford Dictionary, it said kingdom is a country state or territory ruled by
-
a king or a queen. Is it correct? Am I correct? Okay?
-
So be our dictionary. Hallelujah. Amen. Yeah, it's a great
-
blessing. So I will just add this various scriptures. Well, Matthew sixty
-
three, as we are talking about the kingdom by our foundational scriptures that John
-
eighteen to three to thirty six. Yeah, John eighteen thirty six to it's
-
as sick efface. The Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things
-
shall be added onto you that is in the Matthew six thirty three. Hallelujah.
-
Amen. Yeah. So we are talking about a kingdom. Last week
-
we spoke about kingdom service as we belong to this kingdom. There are many
-
kingdoms, as we spoke about, and you and I belong to a kingdom.
-
And therefore there is a king who is in this kingdom, hallelujah,
-
who rules in the affairs of men, Amen, even though he is not
-
here, but he rules, as we believe us as children of God,
-
we have a king. There are other kingdoms, but there is a king
-
of kings. He puts people in positions. Amen, he put people in
-
position. God is good and all the time. Hallelujah. Are you with
-
me? Yes, please stay with me A man, a man. So
-
we thank you for joining us this morning. It's a great blessing. Can
-
I go back to the scripture? The best sty six? The best of
-
six A right. So Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world.
-
If my kingdom were of this world, then would my sevants fight.
-
But I will not be delivered to the Jews. But now it's my kingdom,
-
not from Henes. Hallelujah. So this was the time that Jesus was
-
interrogated. He was being interrogated because of what was said concerning him and what
-
he has They said he has done, amen, and because of what they
-
didn't have understanding to what he was saying. So they accused him and they
-
beat him because of you and I. So he had to go through it.
-
Hallelujah. He has to go through it because of you and I,
-
so that we will come into his kingdom that he said is there for us.
-
He has to go through the beatings, he has to go through the
-
insult, he has to go through all that just for you and I so
-
that we can all be together where he said He's going to prepare a place
-
for you and I that he said in his father's house are many mansions,
-
hallelujah. So they are mantions that we are going to live in according to
-
the word of the Lord, Amen, which is the kingdom of God.
-
He said in his father's house, A many mansions, are many, many
-
mentions, hallelujah. And I can't wait to be part of that mention that
-
Jesus has promised us in his word. Hallelujah. Amen. God is good
-
all right. So there are so many kingdoms, as we started last week,
-
they have several kingdoms, and every kingdom and its rules and what governs
-
such a kingdom. So you and I, as believers and as children of
-
God, the Kingdom of God also has its rules that governs as how we
-
should live our lives and purity and love and forgiveness, even loving our enemies.
-
It's amazing. Hallelujah. Yeah, forgiveness and then love forgiveness and then
-
love. Hallelujah. God is with us. Same man goes straight into it.
-
We have several kingdoms. We have different kinds of kingdoms. I believe
-
some of you know some of the kingdoms we have in the world. You
-
can mention some What are some of the kingdoms we have in this world?
-
I mean there are nation's kingdoms. What are some of the kingdoms in this
-
world where we are here? You don't know of any kingdom? There are
-
kingdoms, the United Kingdom I literally have hallelujah. Yeah, which other kingdoms?
-
Kingdom of God? Okay I'm talking about here is correct Spain, there's
-
a kingdom, hallelujah. So here in Ghana is there no kingdom? Heah
-
aha? How you have an alcome bom. So we have the Assantic Kingdom
-
as well? In which other kingdom there are? There's no Ildia, certainly
-
they have other kingdoms. Yeah, so there are other kingdoms in this world.
-
Hallelujah. But Jesus is telling us that his kingdom is not of this
-
one. His kingdom is not of this one. So in order for him
-
to get us into the kingdom he is talking about, is the reason for
-
which he came to die. Is the reason for which he obeyed his father's
-
command, his father's sending looking for who to send that he responded to the
-
call and he came so that he may die, and then so that he
-
can riconcolates back and take our sayings upon himself. And the death that you
-
and I were supposed to die and have die e tenor death he was.
-
He came to die so that you and I can belong to the place that
-
he said he wants you and I to be his kingdom. Hallelujah amen.
-
How maud, if you are ready to be in the kingdom that God said
-
he's going to be with us, He's going to prepare for us. How
-
would if you want to be there? Because in that kingdom I can tell
-
you for a fact and of a truth through the word of the Lord,
-
that place there is no pain. There is no pain, there is no
-
sorrow. That is the kingdom that Jesus is promising you and I. There
-
is no pain, There is no soul some of us. When it's time
-
for exams, you have running so much that place. There is no exams.
-
Your exams is just hallelujah amen. But for you to be able to
-
pass and even enter that kingdom, it is also an exam. So there
-
are rules, governing rules that are leading us to where we must be.
-
So Jesus is expecting us to live in a certain way, have certain values
-
in life, to be able to also connect back to Him. Amen.
-
So in the Kingdom of God, there is a lot that would be exempted
-
from no accidents. All the problems of this world, you will find them
-
there. Any problem you can think of, you're not going to find it
-
there. In this world, you're not going to find it there. It's
-
not a good place to be. Yeah, it's a good place to be.
-
Amen. Yeah, it's a very good place to be. And I
-
want to be there. I want to be there. I don't know about
-
you, but I want to be there. I want to be there.
-
And I'm preparing myself to be a man because the Bible said work out your
-
own salvation with fear and trembling in your heart. So it is you whom
-
has work it out. Our duty as past us, as men of God,
-
is to present the thing to you, the truth to you, and
-
now it is up to you whether to buy it or not. Is a
-
choice. Neighbor is a choice. Life. Life is full of choices.
-
Yeah, it's full of choices. I don't know where else you want to
-
be a place where there's no sorrow, problems, issues, pain, sickness
-
is a place you have peace of mind, everlasting joy. That is the
-
kingdom that Jesus was presenting to us. Amen. Yeah, so Jesus presenting
-
this to us. You see, when companies or let me just use a
-
bank. When a bank want to sell a product or advertising the product,
-
there is a way they market it so that so that you'll be able to
-
come into their domain. They have to tell you about their products and the
-
benefits that will come to you when you join them. So I'm using the
-
bank as a kingdom. So in order for you for them to get you
-
into their space. Now they bring out products and then the product will tell
-
you okay, so when you enter into this product, these are the benefits
-
when they enter into this product, This are the benefits you get. So
-
that what they can enroll you into the banking system so that they know that
-
you are part of them. You are part of them. That is why
-
they are able to send you information concerning they are changes concerning laws, concerning
-
things that they are doing for the bank to move forward. Hallelujah. So
-
they send you all kinds of things, tell you sell the products to you,
-
sell the bank to you. They give you reasons why you must join
-
the bank. They give you several reasons why you must join the bank a
-
man, because it will be good for you according to the bank. So
-
why not you, Sada. I don't want to mention any bank's name,
-
So I'm just so Bank A and Bank B. Why not jump by A
-
or Bank B? Hallelujah. Everybody has reasons for joining whichever bank they have
-
in a man. Yeah, so you asked, so why don't you join
-
Bank A or Bank B? But they want you to join Bank A because
-
they'll tell you and sell their products to you. Hallelujah. And Jesus has
-
also promised that so many things that he said in his father souse are many
-
mintions. His father's solves are many mentions. So we are in preparation every
-
day of our lives. We need to prepare every day of our lives.
-
We need to prepare ourselves so that we can also beware. He said that
-
he's preparing for us. In Man two sikes that theader says, a sicky
-
face, the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be
-
added onto you. Our other things shall be added on to you. A
-
man. So I'd like us to look at the first thing that they were
-
talking about about the Kingdom of God, not of this world. Number one
-
is that the kingdom was a subject of prophecy. I believe that you've heard
-
this message. Is that the kingdom was a subject of prophecy. The kingdom
-
was a subject of prophecy, according to Daniel. Daniel Chapter two, the
-
Study three other Way to forty four January Chapter two, the Study thirty thirty
-
one to forty four Daniel Chapter two, thirty one to forty four, And
-
it's talking about the four kingdoms. When you go into that scripture, you
-
realize that he's talking about the four kingdoms, the prophecies that and the revelation
-
and the dream that the king had that Daniel allowed to come later and interpret
-
the dream for the king, telling him about the kingdoms that are to come,
-
the kingdoms that I will come, the first, second, and third
-
and the fourth. And he was the one with the golden head. That
-
was what this scripture was trying to tell us. From the verst thirty one
-
to forty four is talking about that hallelu yeah. And he's talking about God
-
also going to be establishing his kingdom. God is also going to establish his
-
kingdom Helloujah. Yeah, So the kingdom was a subject of prophecy even before
-
this. You realized that Isaiah even prophesied in Isaiah nine versus six and then
-
verse seven. Let's read it quickly, Asaiah chapter nine, Versus six and
-
seven, Asia nine versus six and seven. I'm just connecting it to this
-
one. I'm just connecting it to the scripture the Daniel two thirty one,
-
and so he said, for unto us, a child is born, onto
-
us, a sign is given, and the government will be upon his showed
-
us, and his name will be called wonderful counselor Minti, God of our
-
lasting Father, Prince of peace. Verse seven, verse seven is that of
-
the increase of his government and peace, there will be no end upon the
-
throne of David and over his kingdom to order it and establish it with judgment
-
and justice from that time forward even forever. He says, the zeal of
-
the Lord of Hosts will perform this. Hallelujah a man. So when you
-
look at the Daniel to the forty four, it's also talking about establishing the
-
kingdom forever, that there is a kingdom and there's a kingdom that will be
-
established forever, which was the fifth kingdom that God is talking to us about
-
this money the man the first woice that and in the days of these kings,
-
the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed.
-
And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break
-
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. So
-
the kingdom that is coming will surpass all the four kingdoms that we are talking
-
about. In the Daniel two, verse thirty one to forty four, there
-
is a kingdom, which is the Kingdom of God, which will be established
-
forever that it cannot be destroyed. So I was connecting this one to the
-
Isaiah Nih the verse six and the verse seven, which also thoughts about the
-
establishing of the Kingdom of God. Amen. And then the fifth five also
-
also stands for grace, because the Bible said Moses came by the law,
-
but Jesus came out with grace. So five the fifth kingdom, I'm just
-
connecting all of distance. Hallelujah. So five also stand for grace. And
-
I believe that the fifth kingdom with the God the Bible is talking us to
-
about. Is that the grace which is inside of that kingdom, with a
-
grace that we are going to be experiencing in the Kingdom of God, a
-
kingdom that is going to be established that has no end. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
Are you here all right? So be here? Actually, neighbor,
-
are you here or you've gone home? What is your neighbor saying? Okay,
-
we are around. Okay, hallelujah, neighbor, be around, bright
-
up, yeah, yeah. And this day of the Kings, the Kingdom,
-
the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed.
-
And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break
-
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. That
-
is the fifth kingdom that we are talking about. So there are four kingdoms
-
which has already come to pass. I mean, when Michael Jackson died,
-
I remember one of the people who came to speak, think what is a
-
priest. I can't remember who exactly, but what the person said was that
-
he said, the king of pop is dead, but now he's going to
-
meet the King of kings. So you may be king of something, but
-
there is a king of kings who reigns forever. There is a king of
-
kings who reigns forever, hallelujah. Even though he was a king of pop
-
But there is a king of kings who he has to go and answer to
-
who he has to go and answer to. So no matter what kingdom you
-
belong to, there is a king over every kingdom. Hallelujah. A man,
-
And I pray I'm seeing you and I over there. A man,
-
I pray that God will connect you and either that will be desirous of going
-
there and seeing what he said is going to prepare for us A man.
-
Yeah, it is my prayer that none of us will miss it. Amen.
-
It's a place not for anybody to miss. Tell you, the Kingdom
-
of God is not a place that you should miss. Heaven is not a
-
place that you should miss. Turn. But you can miss all the nine
-
parties that will be organized and who and who will be called and who is
-
not called, But for this one, never miss it. Turn aybody never
-
missed this one. So don't don't be worried if you're not invited to certain
-
pattern. But don't be worried if you are not invited to certain parties.
-
They say, ah, they should have invited it, but they didn't invite
-
it. But don't be worried. Don't be worried. But there is a
-
place greater than that party. Hallelujah. So if you're not invited, don't
-
worry at all. Turn about. If you're not invited, do not worry,
-
do not worry. Hallelujah. A man, Yeah, put your hands
-
together for the Lord. If you will not be worried, put your hands
-
together for the Lord. A man, yeah. The Lord is good.
-
What a blessing. Let's quickly move to the second point said, the Kingdom
-
is on earth, but it's spiritual in nature. The Kingdom on earth,
-
but it is spiritual in nature. But it is spiritual in nature. It
-
is spiritual in nature. The Kingdom is on earth, but it is spiritual
-
in nature. Before I even talk about this, let's look at Look to
-
thirty to thirty two. Look to thirty to thirty two. I want to
-
connect this to this. Look chapter two, verse thirty to thirty two.
-
Let's look at something there quickly. Now this was Simeon, who was waiting
-
for the coming of our Lord and Master Savior, Jesus Christ's that my eyes,
-
for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the
-
Phase of all peoples thirty two is a light to bring revelation to the gentiles
-
and the glory of your people Israel. Hallelujah. So he was excited for
-
what God has shown him about the kingdom that we are talking about, because
-
it is Jesus who is in tradition us to that kingdom where he wants you
-
and I to be. And Simon, who was a priest, he said,
-
he is happy that his eye has behold he has seen the Savior.
-
He has seen the Savior. He has seen the Savior. So that's what
-
we're talking about. That it is supernatural in nature, but you have to
-
move from the natural before you enter into the supernatural. You must move from
-
the natural before you enter into the supernatural. Amen. So he realized that
-
Christ in us is the hope of glory. So you realize that the Kingdom
-
of God is in us, is in us, is in us. The
-
Kingdom of God is inside of us. It's inside you and I. Hallelujah.
-
So predicted that the kingdom was to come. John the Baptist also what
-
preached that it was at hand, but when Jesus came, he said,
-
what the Kingdom of God? What? He proclaimed that it is already here.
-
When Jesus came, he proclaimed that the Kingdom is already here. Hallelujah,
-
oh amen. When Jesus came, he said, the Kingdom is already
-
here. Daniel spoke about it. John the Baptist was talking to the people
-
repented, for there they are evil, and then he was telling them that
-
the Kingdom of God is to come. And when Jesus also came, he
-
also told us that the kingdom is already here. The Kingdom is already here.
-
Hallelujah amen. So quickly take me to the back to the scripture.
-
He was telling us about what Jesus was coming to do. What Jesus was
-
coming to do, and he introduced us and get us back into this kingdom
-
and get us back to where he wants you and I to be. He
-
was happy, he said, after he saw Jesus was he was not ready
-
to go home to be with the Lord. He was not ready to go
-
home. He said, a light, that's what Jesus was going to be.
-
So this kingdom that we are going into, that Jesus is the light.
-
Is that the lights to bring revelation to the gentiles. Who are the
-
gentiles. The gentiles are the unbelievers. The gentiles are the unbelievers, people
-
who are not amazing in love. We have unbelieving believers. Hallelujah, We
-
have unbelieving believers. See the word of the Lord. He is that everything
-
shall pass away, but his word, his word, his word, will
-
never pass away. Hallelujah. Telling about desire the word of the Lord,
-
and spend time in steadying the word of the Lord. Spend time in reading
-
the word of the Lord, because it is the only thing. Telling about
-
It is the only thing that will not pass, but every other thing shall
-
pass. Hallelujah. A man. Yeah, So the kingdom that was announced,
-
that was spoken of, isn't us. Isn't us God in us,
-
This God in us, Christ in us, the Hope of glory. The
-
kingdom isn't us. You will be asked, how can this huge kingdom be
-
in me? That's why we said, the kingdom is on the earth,
-
but it is spiritual in nature. It is spiritual in nature. Amen.
-
And Simeon said that my eyes have seined. He was excited to see.
-
He was excited to see Jesus being born, His parents brought him to the
-
temple, and he was happy except for my eyes. I've seen the salvation.
-
So Jesus bringing us into the kingdom is reconstanting us back. It's the
-
way of saving us. It's the way of bringing us a place of everlasting
-
joy. Hallelujah. I see the Lord taking us there? Or your amen
-
is we say, I see the Lord taking us there. Yeah, I
-
have to work it out telling about you have to work it out. You
-
have to work it out. You must work it out. So let's look
-
at some of the things that the kingdom that Jesus spoke about, and the
-
apostles also announced quickly. When you hear of what it's about to happen,
-
and it happens, and it's before you, you realize that you have all
-
kinds of ideas. You are happy, you are excited. I mean the
-
promise. The whole je were they were waiting for the moment for Jesus to
-
come. Hallelujah. So let's look quickly at you. It said it was
-
so small enough to exist in one person's heart. The kingdom that we are
-
talking about was because of the prophets before, so small that I was able
-
to exist in the hearts, in the person's heart. The next one is
-
that is big enough to include all who would enter in at the same time,
-
also big enough for all who will enter in. The Bible said,
-
it is that desire, It is the will of God. Are all men
-
be saved? That's his planned, that's is that all men. He doesn't
-
want anybody to die. So it says, what is big enough to include
-
all who will enter in? So those who are not yet in, there
-
is space for everyone. There is space for everyone who wants to come in
-
and row in the Kingdom of God. There is space, hallelujah. And
-
it's also it was powerful enough to dominate every other kingdom, So the Kingdom
-
of God is powerful enough to dominate every other kingdom. That is why we
-
have the Kingdom of darkness, so that when lights appears, you realize that
-
there is no more darkness. So when you're in a room and the light
-
is off, so for as far as the light comes, when you're there,
-
you can't see anything. But once light comes on, everything appears.
-
You're able to see Claire. You are able to see Clary. There is
-
no darkness. But once you're in the dark and you're in the room that
-
there's no lights. Once the light comes on, it brings that power.
-
It brings our lights, it brings our revelation to us. Hallelujah. It's
-
that it's so powerful, the adamension of his name, Jesus Christ. You
-
realize that God has given us certain power. God has given us certain power
-
to be able to speak to things for them, to live our lives,
-
to rebuke things out of our life. We said, what the kingdom is,
-
that it's powerful enough to dominate every other kingdom. But sometimes because we
-
don't know the power we have as children of God and the kingdom we belong
-
to, the enemy place striction on us, brings the exception, brings fear
-
to us. But we don't know the power that we have as children of
-
God in his kingdom. The Bible said was God has not given us a
-
spate of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind.
-
So you have power to rebuke sickness, is to rebuke situations and conditions
-
you don't have to see. He said, faith. It takes faith to
-
be able to rebuke it and to know it and to believe the power that
-
we have in this kingdom. It takes faith. Hallelujah amen. Yeah.
-
And it's so pressure that when someone found it, they will abandon everything they
-
own in order to possess it. It's so pressure that when someone finds it,
-
they would abandon everything they own in order to possess it. Hallelujah amen.
-
Let me quickly go to the third point is that the kingdom, the
-
kingdom was something that has been established. The kingdom is something that has been
-
established. In my two chapter six Versus nine to ten that talks about the
-
Lord's prayer, I believe talks about the Kingdom of God, which is already
-
established in heaven. See, the Kingdom of God does not just happened.
-
It's that pray. It does in the Kingdom does not just come. He
-
said, pray our Father in heaven, hallow it be your name. So
-
we pray for the Kingdom of God to come. It doesn't just come.
-
We pray for the Kingdom. We say, your Kingdom come, Your will
-
be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hallelujah amen. Yeah,
-
we pray for the Kingdom of God to come because it has already been established.
-
Hallelujah amen. Amen. So this scripture is talking to us about already
-
existing established kindomig is in heaven, and pray that the will of God will
-
be done. So it is I pray that His will will be done on
-
earth asset is in heaven. So once we are here on earth, whatever
-
is happening in heaven, God Jesus was trying to tell us here that we
-
should pray that what is happening in heaven will be happening, will happen to
-
our lives whilst we are here on earth, and before the time that will
-
reconnect, pray that His will will be done on earth as it is in
-
heaven. Ascetists in heaven. So that's what the scripture is talking to us
-
about that and already established kingdom, which is heaven, which is already in
-
operational, that we should pray that a kingdom will come and that His will
-
will be done on earth. Ascetists in heaven. So you realize that God
-
exists where his will what is being done. Where his will is not being
-
done, you don't find him there done much. But where his will is
-
being done, you find him there, Amen. Where his will is being
-
done, you find him there. Amen. Now somebody may be asking,
-
how do I enter How do I enter? Let me give you something quickly.
-
How do I enter the Kingdom? In cares? Maybe somebody I've heard
-
about the Kingdom of God. I've heard about everything about it. So how
-
do I enter? How do I enter? How do I enter? Quickly?
-
Let's write this, how do I enter the Kingdom of God? Number
-
one repent? You must repent, Mark one fifteen. We are not going
-
to read it. Your repent, Mark one fifteen. How do you enter
-
this kingdom that we are talking about, that God is preparing for us a
-
place that we are going to be, and all of that. Number one
-
repents, Mark one fifteen. Number two Be childlike. There is different between
-
child and childlike. Helluyah, So be a childlike child. Believe and trust
-
whatever is told. When a child is promised I'll buy you football, they
-
will hold on to that word. They never let it go. So be
-
child like to believe the word of the Lord. Be child like. It
-
means you are giving trust to God and his word, Mark ten fifteen.
-
And then the last one is being born again. That's the new birth,
-
being born again? How to enter this kingdom that we are talking about?
-
Being born again? John three three, John three three, John three three.
-
So this is how for somebody to be able to enter into the Kingdom
-
of God. In case you hear, oh, I've heard about the Kingdom
-
of God. They are saying this. I said, so, now how
-
do I become part of it? So these are the three things that I'm
-
just giving that you can also share with a friend that, okay, you
-
can come into the Kingdom. By this means you don't need to do a
-
lot of things. You don't need to do many You just need to repent.
-
Repentance is what changing of mind, being a childlike and then accepting the
-
Lord and be born again a man or a man. So, in conclusion,
-
the Kingdom of God is both a present reality and a future hope.
-
Telling about the Kingdom of God, it's both present reality and a future hope.
-
Hallelujah, putting hands together for the Lord. Shabby rise, savery rise.
-
You may be here. You've not given your life to Jesus. You've
-
not giving your life to Jesus and this kingdom that we are talking about.
-
If you haven't repented, you haven't been born again. You're not entitled to
-
enter there. Like I made mention of a bank before you become part of
-
the bank. You have to be enrolled. They take your details to be
-
en road. So this is just the point for you to be able to
-
be part of this kingdom that we are talking about. If you're here,
-
you don't know Jesus, you're not yet connected. You are not in the
-
Kingdom of God. You need to first take a step of repentance, changing
-
off mind and trusting the word of the Lord and becoming born again, and
-
confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart. The opportunity is here for
-
you to come. The opportunity is here for you to give your life to
-
Christ. If you're here like that, when every eyes closed, with every
-
eyes closed, look within yourself, set within yourself. You know yourself better.
-
And even God knows you even better. If God does not reveal,
-
we can say even prophecy we see in parts. If you're here like that,
-
come and let's pray with you and start this journey with Christ, and
-
start this journey with the Lord. If you're here like that, come let's
-
pray and let's start this journey together and be part of this family that God
-
is building and this kingdom that Jesus is talking about, this kingdom that God
-
is talking to us about where he wants us to be, where he wants
-
us to spend it. Tinity. If you're here like that, please come.
-
Let's pray. Please come, lets pray. The Kingdom of God is
-
not about it's not bread and water or better. If you're here like that,
-
please come. If there is nobody, let's pray together. Say Lord,
-
Jesus, I thank you for saving me. Oh Lord, help me.
-
Grant me the grace to maintain mindself to work out my salvation every day.
-
In the name of Jesus. Oh Lord, I give you praise.
-
I thank you for your gifts of salvation. I love you, Jesus.
-
I love you Jesus. Thank you Lord for dying on the cross for my
-
sake. In Jesus' name, a man put their hands together for the Lord.
