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