1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,960 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:16,760 Now enjoy this message. Last week we started taking time 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,040 to break down the Kingdom again and it's very important that we 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,920 have a hunger for the Kingdom again. 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,400 I was just talking with George before service today. 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240 He was said he was reading in the Bible reading plan where it 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,480 talked about the one left the 99, you know, and it said how 9 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,560 all the angels rejoice because the one comes back. 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,480 Do you understand that most people interpret that scripture 11 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:48,240 as the one being a person lost? But that's not true because the 12 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,440 one was with the 99 and the 99 was with the Lord. 13 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:58,800 So that Scripture along with the prodigal son, the prodigal son 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,440 is not a type and shadow of the world, neither is the one 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,920 leaving the 99. They are both someone who's been 16 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,320 in the house, who's had a relationship with the father and 17 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,920 then hardened themselves out of their own pursuit of selfish 18 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,840 ambition and want to do it their way. 19 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,520 And they left the safety of and provision of home. 20 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,560 Now why would all the angels rejoice mightily when the one 21 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,240 who was lost would come back into the full? 22 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,800 Because you know how hard you're going to have to harden your 23 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,960 heart to discredit the words you've been acting on. 24 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,320 The Bible tells us how dark it is. 25 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,600 A person that once they're exposed to life, to get back in 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,680 darkness. So you understand it's not funny 27 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,440 business when you've had a relationship with Jesus, you've 28 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400 been actively involved in a church, you recognize those 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,760 things and then you get offended or upset or something happens 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,840 that you begin to not value the head of the church in his church 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,680 and you begin to see it as well. It's maybe something I'll do or 32 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,440 maybe I want won't. And you move out. 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Guess what? It is a hardening of your heart. 34 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,800 And when someone starts to layer the light you have, then it can 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560 be extremely difficult for you to return. 36 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040 I've said this with married couples because I've had this 37 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,120 happen in the past that people they were married and all of a 38 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,800 sudden someone wants to leave and basically they would throw 39 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120 this out. They say, well you know I'm 40 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,680 going to divorce them anyway and I'll just ask God to forgive me. 41 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,480 I said you think you will. We do know God is a forgiver and 42 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,240 we do know if we do sin that God will forgive us. 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,680 But when you openly know I'm going to sin and harden my heart 44 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,320 from doing what's right, I'm going to go ahead and do wrong, 45 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,760 that we really think with all of our heart we're going to 46 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,200 actually come back and repent. Most do not. 47 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,880 In fact, I in my experience with those individuals that I've had 48 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440 that conversation with, the one that hardened their heart from 49 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,560 the Word and went ahead and divorced anyway, they've never 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,240 had an intimate relationship with the Lord. 51 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,960 Again. I've not seen it now, I have 52 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,120 seen a religious exercise, but man, you get around them and 53 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600 they're not walking in love. They're really not walking in 54 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,600 forgiveness. They're always trying to justify 55 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,560 their position. Why? 56 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Because they had to justify to leave. 57 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,760 This is why it's difficult that when the one separates from the 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880 99. But if they do come and you 59 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,560 understand the Good Shepherd, the great Shepherd, the chief 60 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Shepherd, that's Jesus, He's going to do everything he can. 61 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,320 To pull you in. He'll use people, he'll try to 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,640 get them to you to make correction, He'll work on those 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640 particular things. But at the end of the day, if 64 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,040 you've hardened your heart, sometimes it's very challenging. 65 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,800 But This is why the angels rejoiced, because they knew how 66 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,280 much at risk you are. This is why the Scripture says 67 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,160 if someone comes in and then leaves, it would have been 68 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680 better for them not to have known the way. 69 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,680 That's what the Bible says. So again, when you get born 70 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,960 again, is it a security? Yes, as long as you continue to 71 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,960 do what you did to get in and that is to crucify self, crucify 72 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,440 your will, do it God's way, yield to him that I'm going to 73 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,120 tell you right now it's the best existence ever. 74 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,400 But if you ever along the way in your journey begin to say, not 75 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,280 sure I'm going to do it like that anymore. 76 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,200 I've done enough. You're at risk, and that's not 77 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,400 what God wants. And you know what? 78 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240 How do you know that you're starting to maybe walk in a path 79 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680 that way is how are you hearing the word when it's something 80 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,920 you've already heard? Because when it's something 81 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,680 you've already heard, you're like, Oh yeah, I know that. 82 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,160 I know where pastor's going. I know what he's doing instead 83 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,160 of Lord. I remember the first time I 84 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,960 heard. This Come on now. 85 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Listen, I, I frequent some restaurants, OK? 86 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,480 And I have some relationship with the owners of some 87 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,320 restaurants because of how frequent I go there. 88 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,960 There's one particular one and you all know this because y'all 89 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,000 usually give us a bunch of gift cards when you're, you know, 90 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000 being a blessing to us, to the Black Molly, OK? 91 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,160 And so there is a standard at Black Molly in my taste. 92 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,640 Buds and that is their spinach artichoke dip. 93 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,840 It is so good that any other restaurant I ever go to. 94 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,120 I measure it to theirs. Now this is my this is not 95 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,640 biblical. This is opinion. 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640 So if you hate it, that's that's because you have undeveloped 97 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,880 taste buds. I get that. 98 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,280 And I, I, I I'm not here to help develop your taste buds to be 99 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:02,560 honest with you. That's like you coffee. 100 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Drinkers that don't drink it black. 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,040 You just untrained and unlearned. 102 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160 When you finally get over to black, you're going to arrive to 103 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,840 where you need to be. All right. 104 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,560 See here, all the religious people. 105 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Nay, and I get it, you know. I'm surrounded by religious 106 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800 people. With that being said, my point 107 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,560 is is that that particular place and that menu item. 108 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,320 I love it every I don't go and. Say, well, I guess we'll do the 109 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,000 spinach artichoke dip. No, I have this confident 110 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,880 expectation that when I order it, man, my little taste buds 111 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,680 are going to start doing this. Dance around, be like, whoa, 112 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200 this is so good. And you're like, oh, this is so 113 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,040 good. You know when you're eating 114 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,600 food, you're like. This is so good. 115 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 And it's always even better when you've gone and had horrible 116 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,160 food for a little while and then you come back to a place that 117 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440 you know is good. Then it's like even better than 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,960 better, although it may not be. It's just that you've had some 119 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,040 really bad food experiences. We had that at camp. 120 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,280 When we went to Virginia, we had some really bad food 121 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920 experiences. Y'all need to pray for Virginia. 122 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,240 I don't think they know how to eat. 123 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,240 I only think they don't know how to cook. 124 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,720 Us all processed. I don't know. 125 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,040 I don't know what's going on in that state. 126 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,960 I mean it's like does anybody what is happening? 127 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,000 I'm like y'all need to come to Florida and taste food for the 128 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200 first time. But in Matthew 15, three, you 129 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,680 know what it says? And he answered and said to 130 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,040 them, why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake 131 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,840 of your tradition? He is not talking to lost 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,400 people. And when I say that you 133 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,680 understand everybody was lost when Jesus was there, but he's 134 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,560 talking to people who knew God because in the dispensation they 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,320 were in, they had access to God. Especially these which were the 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440 Pharisees, the religious, the priests ascribes because the 137 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,160 anointing would come upon them. So they could have understanding 138 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,520 of the word, because it was their responsibility to teach 139 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,280 the nation of Israel. So they knew exactly what they 140 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,360 were supposed to say, but they chose not to say it because they 141 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,080 loved the accolades instead of giving it to God. 142 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,560 And they loved the positions that put them in with the local 143 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080 government instead of with God. OK. 144 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840 This is why they let Jesus. They wanted Jesus crucified 145 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,600 because they loved Caesar. More than they did Jesus. 146 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,720 And they touted that we have only one king and his name, 147 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Caesar. That's what they told Pilate the 148 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,200 day that they said crucify him. He said, what do you want me to 149 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,960 do with your king? And they said, we have no king 150 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,200 but Caesar. So they picked the world's king, 151 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,960 which is really, we're going to go with the devil, right 152 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,799 instead. So again, in the church we have 153 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:47,040 to always guard ourselves from receiving the Word as the Word 154 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,920 of men or as a common thing that we've heard. 155 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,960 We need to receive it for what it really is, the Word of God 156 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,640 and passionately want to receive. 157 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,480 That. Because you understand, we have 158 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,440 just begun to scratch the surface of His Kingdom. 159 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,480 For anyone in this room to say, well, I know about the Kingdom 160 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,880 of God, that is untruth. You know something about it, but 161 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,560 not to the layer that we need to know. 162 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,240 In fact, as much as we study and God reveals, the Bible tells 163 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,880 that it still is, has a veil to it, and until we go and be with 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Him will it be completely stripped off. 165 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,240 So even as much revelation as we can receive, we still only know 166 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,800 in part. So what part? 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,480 We know we need to rejoice and exercise that part because if we 168 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,280 do not continually exercise the part and do what's necessary, 169 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,160 then we will lose what we have gained. 170 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,760 Are you hearing me? OK? 171 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:55,120 So we saw that the whole planet was set up so that God could 172 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,880 give it to man. When God created the heavens and 173 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800 the earth He created with the intentions of giving it to man, 174 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200 He didn't want it to be empty. We read this in Psalms 8911. 175 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,480 We said this in Isaiah 4518 and we jumped over into a Psalms 115 176 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,680 verse 15. This was last week and where it 177 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,480 says the highest heavens are the Lord, but the earth He has given 178 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,640 to the sons of man. So the territory of the earth 179 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,040 was created by the home country which is heaven and it was not 180 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,200 taken by force. He didn't come conquer this 181 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,720 thing He made. It so it's God's Bible, pride of 182 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,200 creation. He created everything, the 183 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,960 heavens and the earth. The earth is extremely important 184 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,760 to God in our modern day US Christianity, we don't think the 185 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280 earth is important. Now I'm not getting into climate 186 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,880 change, although there's a climate change that is a that is 187 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,240 a reality now, not from the political party reality from the 188 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440 biblical party reality. Is the earth going to get 189 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,240 warmer? Yes, much warmer, extremely 190 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,520 warm, in fact, so warm that it's going to burn. 191 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,920 It will burn, say burn, baby, burn it will. 192 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,800 But it's burning because God's going to make it new. 193 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,040 He's going to burn off anything that is in error because when he 194 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520 deals with the devil once and for all throws him to the lake 195 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,480 of fire, which is the the second death and all those who denounce 196 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Jesus as Lord and everyone else who rebelled against his Kingdom 197 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,880 and they are in the prison system of God's Kingdom. 198 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200 The lake of fire is God's prison. 199 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,240 It's not the devil's home. The devil doesn't live in hell. 200 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,360 It's not his home. He had a right to death because 201 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,720 Adam fell from dominion, sinned and death came. 202 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,840 A hold came into play because everyone who who goes against 203 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,080 the word of God, death comes. However, Jesus conquered death, 204 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,120 hell in the grave, meaning he's the only righteous judge who can 205 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,560 now dictate who goes there. In essence, he became the warden 206 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,520 of the prison. Are you hearing me? 207 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,680 So those who go, go voluntarily because they rejected Jesus as 208 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,000 king. So when all that's said and 209 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,200 done, the Bible tells us that in in Peter that by fire he'll burn 210 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,920 the heavens and the earth. Now that's not the 3rd heaven 211 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,000 where God lives. Because in the 3rd heaven, the 212 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,520 minute a rebellion started, God got rid of it. 213 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,000 And how fast did he get rid of it? 214 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,320 Light, lightning. Jesus said, I saw Satan fall 215 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600 like lightning from heaven. It was very quick. 216 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,880 You're not going to be up here doing this. 217 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,560 Boom, you're gone. OK, with that being said, there 218 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,480 is a 1st heaven, 2nd heaven and in those areas where there's 219 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,040 principalities and powers, there's things that are wrong. 220 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,560 God fire is always a representation of purging 221 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,920 unrighteousness. It is the burn off that which is 222 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,640 wrong. So there's been a lot of stuff 223 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,960 done on this planet that God never intended. 224 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,800 And so God has to purify it like you purify gold. 225 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,760 You get it to the fire, the dross comes up, you pull it off 226 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,680 so that you're left with the purity of the gold and God will 227 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:18,720 only have a pure planet Earth. I said he'll only have a pure 228 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120 planet Earth. So the fires coming, say when is 229 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,480 it? Well, that's when we come back 230 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520 and reign with him after the 1000 years and the devil comes 231 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200 and attacks that Jesus and his nation again. 232 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,720 It will amount to nothing and he'll cast. 233 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,640 Him. And then they'll give up the 234 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,840 dead, and they'll be the Great White Throne Judgment. 235 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,320 They'll all be cast into the Lake of Fire, and then everyone 236 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,960 that's on the earth will be caught in that fire, which is no 237 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,640 big deal because Shadrach, Meshak and Abednego was caught 238 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920 in a fiery furnace. Seven times hotter and hot and 239 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,480 they didn't burn, didn't smell like smoke. 240 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,480 They were right in the middle of it. 241 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,680 We can stand right here on the planet while it burns. 242 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760 It'll be the best bonfire you've ever been to in your life. 243 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,920 Not only will you see it, you'll be in the middle. 244 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,280 Of it, OK? And it will burn off all the 245 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:07,000 impurities that then we'll have a new heavens and new earth, and 246 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,840 we'll be with the Lord forever in all eternity, where nothing 247 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,000 but righteousness is in all of his creation. 248 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,200 And there's one isolated place where unrighteousness exists. 249 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,840 It is the lake of fire. And they'll never get out. 250 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,840 And they'll be tormented forever by choice, by their choice. 251 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,360 Are you hearing me? So it's important for us to 252 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,160 understand that God, when he created this Earth, initially 253 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,280 those that he put in the planet were not of a different nature 254 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,160 than Him. So when he made Adam out of the 255 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,840 dust of the earth, breathe into his nostrils the breath of life 256 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,200 from his nature. He created humans, He created 257 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,600 man and woman. Infer Genesis chapter one verse 258 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,000 26 that said then God said, let us make man in our image 259 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,840 according to our likeness and let him have them have dominion. 260 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,280 Over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the 261 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,400 cattle, over all the earth, over every creeping thing that creeps 262 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520 on the earth. Verse 27 So God created man in 263 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,720 his own image, in the image of God. 264 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,960 He created him male and female. So the spirit of man goes into a 265 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960 male suit and into a female suit. 266 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,160 God never gets that wrong. They're always exactly where he 267 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,080 ordained them, OK. And as a result of that, they 268 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,480 were to have demean over the earth, not over each other, but 269 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,600 over the earth. They both possess dominion. 270 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,440 Now God needs them to function in this dominion status. 271 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,200 And dominion is not a religious position. 272 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,880 Dominion means to govern, it means to rule, it means to 273 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480 manage, it means to have rulership. 274 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,080 So Adam, the first Adam had no concept of a religious exercise. 275 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,280 Adam's concept of God was he's the king of heaven. 276 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,320 He's made me king of the earth. He could also say it this way. 277 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,160 He is the God of heaven and God of all creation, and he's made 278 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,320 me God of the earth. I'm submitted to him. 279 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800 The God. I'm a little God. 280 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,560 I'm a little God now He's not God himself, but he is a little 281 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,440 God. Now this shouldn't be hard for 282 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,000 us because at this point in the new covenant, you're called 283 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,920 children of. Well, if you're children of God, 284 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:32,040 then you must be of God or you're the Bible calls you sons 285 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,280 of. So in essence, you're little 286 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,480 gods because you function under the authority of the God. 287 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,360 How do we know this God capacity works or this ultimate 288 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,480 rulership? When Paul was recounting the 289 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,360 authority that the devil possessed concerning the systems 290 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,240 that were functioning on the planet, even after his defeat, 291 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,200 he says the God of this world, meaning the systems that are in 292 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,960 play, the way things function away from God's Kingdom, there 293 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,160 is a God or one that's in authority or supreme authority 294 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,440 of that system and that is the devil. 295 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,960 So again, 2nd Corinthians 4 four says the God of this world has 296 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,880 blinded the eyes of the unbelieving so that they cannot 297 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,120 see the light of the gospel or recognize their true place they 298 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:33,880 should be in, and that is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 299 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,240 OK, So again even the devil was contributed as a God of this 300 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,440 world and even Jesus himself in the temptation that he had with 301 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,040 the devil in Luke chapter 4, the devil showed him all the 302 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,480 kingdoms in a moment of time because he knows this is not 303 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,760 about religion. I do religion for man. 304 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,600 I keep religion in front of man because it keeps man confused 305 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000 and deceived, because if he knew this was only about a Kingdom 306 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,120 and the government or King's dominion for man, then he would 307 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:08,680 not tolerate religion anyway. So I keep him confused on which 308 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,080 way to go. Which way is right? 309 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Which one's right? Which way? 310 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,280 Who do we serve? Who do we? 311 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,280 I mean, how all these people in these other countries worship 312 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,480 this other God? Could they be wrong? 313 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,880 Maybe you're wrong. We keep them in confusion. 314 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720 OK, but he doesn't do that to Jesus. 315 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,120 He doesn't tempt Jesus with the religions of the world. 316 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:36,280 He tempts Jesus with kingdoms. He said all this domain I'll 317 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,760 give to you, for they have been handed over to me. 318 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,080 Where? Where did he get it from? 319 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,000 He had received it from Adam. So when Adam ate the fruit that 320 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,120 the Lord told him not to, OK. And the reason why God has to 321 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,880 say don't eat this fruit, eat everything else but not this one 322 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,320 is because God needs to know that Adam loves him. 323 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,440 He's of his nature, he's of love. 324 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,720 We should know this, but our love to God is not demonstrated 325 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,160 with the words I love you. Jesus defines how we love God. 326 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,920 He says if you love me, you will what? 327 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:19,040 Keep my word so we must be doers of the word and here's the 328 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,680 thing, it's not our self effort. It is our effort in Christ that 329 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,760 accomplishes it. Now I will say this, there is a 330 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,240 time you do it yourself or you're participating, which I 331 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,400 when I say at times, really it's every time, but again, you're 332 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,440 being empowered because God has opened the door by his Spirit to 333 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,520 let you know if you do this choice life. 334 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,840 So think about it when you were dead in your trespasses of sin. 335 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,560 The Bible is very clear. No one goes after God. 336 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,000 No, not one. And you can't even come to the 337 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Father unless He draws you, which means somewhere along the 338 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,480 line, God Himself, through His Holy Spirit, started speaking to 339 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,040 your heart. And He started speaking to your 340 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,520 heart while you were a Sinner dead. 341 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,640 Cut off from God, couldn't hear God, didn't want anything to do 342 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,240 with God, would never say yes to God, would never serve God of 343 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,400 your own free will. Yet that voice and the 344 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,040 revelation of that moment that Jesus Christ has made the way 345 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,600 for you to come into this Kingdom and you believed it by 346 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,680 faith. Even as a Sinner, you could say 347 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,760 I believe Jesus Christ came born of a virgin, died on the third 348 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,440 day, rose from the dead and I confess him as Lord. 349 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,120 A Sinner did that. But the minute you did that by 350 00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:48,520 faith, then that spirit that was dead and could not hear, could 351 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,320 not commune with God, could not go any further with God, could 352 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,160 not have a relationship with God, is ripped out of your skin 353 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,400 suit and is immediately replaced with a new spirit that is in 354 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Christ that now has a direct connect with heaven and given 355 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,720 dominion status. You can rule and reign now. 356 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,200 You can follow the Spirit of God, you can obey the voice of 357 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,800 God, and you can prove day after day that you love Him because 358 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000 your spirit wants to do the Word. 359 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,960 So Jesus said, now if you love me, you go keep my word. 360 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,600 So he says, Adam, if you love me, don't eat the tree of the 361 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,040 knowledge of good and evil for the day you eat you'll surely. 362 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,280 And we said this 100,000 times, we're going to say it 100,000 363 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560 times more, maybe even a billion if it takes that long before 364 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,880 Jesus returned. If Adam had never eaten the. 365 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,840 Fruit. Where would he be today? 366 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,120 He'd be right here. So Adam was not trying to go to 367 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,600 heaven, which tells us the new birth experience is not about 368 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,840 going to heaven. It's about becoming a child of 369 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,920 God and receiving the dominion God originally had for you. 370 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,400 That's what it's about now. I'm not telling you you won't go 371 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,640 to heaven because the Bible says to be absent from the body. 372 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,560 You'll be what? Present with the Lord? 373 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,560 Where is the Lord presently at? He's in heaven. 374 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320 Is he staying there? If you read the scripture, 375 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,400 you'll know he's not that Jesus will come back. 376 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,280 And who will come back with? Him. 377 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,720 We will. All right, So wherever the Lord 378 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,560 is, I am. Now, if you want to stay in 379 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,680 heaven when the Lord's not there, that's on you. 380 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000 And I don't even know if that's Kate, if you're capable of doing 381 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000 that, because again, if he's Lord and he says, all right, 382 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,680 let's go back to the earth, what are you going to do? 383 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,320 No, I think I'm just. Going to stay up here, been down 384 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,960 there before, didn't really care for it. 385 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,120 Wasn't a great existence for me, you know, till I met you and you 386 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,280 were awesome. You changed my life and now that 387 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,480 I'm up here, don't want to have to hang out with sin again. 388 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,560 How many of you believe you'll see sin again after you go to 389 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,760 heaven? You bet you will. 390 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,120 I didn't say you'd participate in it, but you'll see it because 391 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,840 when you come back in the millennial reign with Christ, 392 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,880 there will be people on the planet still in sin. 393 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,920 The good news is, is that you won't be subject to it again. 394 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,360 You're not going to fail or fall. 395 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,480 You're sealed in righteousness. You have your glorified body. 396 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680 You're no longer ever going to be connected to that because you 397 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,040 have been delivered from the second death. 398 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,840 And you'll be able to walk on this planet in a way that you 399 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,480 never walked on it before. Because right now we're born 400 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,760 again. We have His spirit, we have his 401 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,440 power. We can renew our minds. 402 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,680 We can walk in dominion, but our flesh is still here. 403 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,880 Our body's still dying. We still have some connectors to 404 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,520 it. We're having to crucify that 405 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,000 daily so dominion can continue to move, so we can function in 406 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760 our rulership, but when we come back with the Lord, our flesh 407 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,320 won't be connected to it. We'll be free from all that. 408 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,520 Hallelujah. Now for some of you this may 409 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,400 sound like strange teaching, but it's actually biblical teaching 410 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,400 because when you actually read the Bible from Genesis. 11 to 411 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,720 Revelations 2221. You'll find this has been there 412 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,440 the whole time and again, American Christianity has put us 413 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,640 in this position where all we want to do is know where we go 414 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840 when we die. And Jesus never asked that 415 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,360 question. He never looked at anyone and 416 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,760 says do you know where you're going to go when you die? 417 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,520 That was never a preaching point for Jesus. 418 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,400 He did answer the question. When I say the question, he 419 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,560 really just communicated. The first time he ever said born 420 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,360 again was never publicly he said it, you know, about 2:00 in the 421 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,480 morning to a religious guy by the name of Nicodemus. 422 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,200 And this is where we hear the term born again, which is better 423 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,640 translated born from above. And that conversation he was 424 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,480 having with that religious man was about the Kingdom or about 425 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,280 hit the father. It's obvious that you are of God 426 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,520 because the works you're doing, man, nobody can explain this. 427 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,320 We would have to deny our God to deny the works you're doing. 428 00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:02,440 And then Jesus said unless a man's born again, he will not 429 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,520 enter the Kingdom. So he's letting him know how 430 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,760 you're going to get in. You've got to be born from 431 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560 above. So Nicodemus a little confused 432 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,200 by that statement. And he says, how can I be a 433 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,000 grown man, Get back in my mom's womb? 434 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,440 He says you're missing it because this is not a natural 435 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,280 birth. This is a spiritual birth. 436 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,960 You can't do this. All your good works to try to be 437 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,760 right with me doesn't work. That's why Paul said in First 438 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,320 Corinthians 7, he said, man, I wanted to do right. 439 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,840 I mean everything I wanted to do that was right. 440 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,960 I found myself just being wrong. And the things I didn't even 441 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,400 want to do, I found myself doing them. 442 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,200 I'm just a wretched man who will save me from this life of sin. 443 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,320 But thanks be unto God that I am, I can triumph in Christ 444 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,240 delivered me from that kind of life. 445 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840 So he says, listen, you're going to have to be born in my spirit. 446 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,040 In essence, if you're not born again, you can't enter or see 447 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,400 the Kingdom of God. Born again is entrance. 448 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,720 It's not the end. And we've made the Bible in the 449 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,200 US specifically, that the end of all end is just get born again. 450 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440 And Jesus, like, that's just getting you through the door. 451 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,920 You're not experiencing it, you're just now in the house, 452 00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:26,480 but I'll send my Spirit to teach you how to live in the house 453 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,800 function and do the same because Jesus said the works that I do, 454 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,960 most believers are just trying to get to heaven. 455 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,520 I'm going to heaven when I die. We'll do the works of. 456 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,960 Jesus, because he did them where? 457 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Right here. Amen. 458 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,720 So a Kingdom then, which is what Jesus preached, is the Kingdom 459 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,960 is a government influence of a king over his territory, 460 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,840 impacting it with his personal will, purpose and intent, 461 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,440 producing citizens, expressing the culture, values, morals and 462 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,200 lifestyles reflecting the King's nature. 463 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,040 So God's original plan was to extend His heavenly Kingdom on 464 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,560 the earth through mankind. God created man to manage and 465 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,360 administrate His King's dominion on the earth. 466 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,320 Are you hearing what I'm saying So when Adam rebelled the The 467 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,360 most dangerous word in a Kingdom is independence. 468 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,920 The most dangerous word in the Kingdom is what what it what is 469 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,760 going to happen Thursday is what Independence Day. 470 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,160 This is why it's so easy for us to water down scripture in the 471 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,440 US is because we want to maintain our independence and 472 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,160 independence from what the King. Oh y'all don't want to hear 473 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,680 this? In our fact now again, we 474 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,400 rebelled from a monarch, from another nation based upon some 475 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,240 representation and some additional things. 476 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,880 I'm not going to get in that history lesson. 477 00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:00,960 OK, But never were we supposed to rebel from the King Jesus. 478 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,480 So what we've done is we've brought in our U.S. government 479 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,400 into the church, and we want to be born of a nation that we get 480 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,480 to do whatever we want to do because we've been sold the lie 481 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,920 that in the free nation you can do whatever you want to do. 482 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:21,880 That's not freedom. Freedom is not free to do 483 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,720 whatever you want to do because you're not free to kill people. 484 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,320 You're not free to steal. Even though there's some places 485 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,120 it looks like it. I understand that, but we're not 486 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,440 free. There are things in place so 487 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,200 that we are. We have the boundaries to create 488 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,600 life. Any nation has to have laws, so 489 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,600 there is order. Do you understand God has some 490 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,760 laws as well. Now again, the minute I say that 491 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,720 the religious Christians go, we're not under the law. 492 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,920 Yes you are. It's called the law of the 493 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. That's in Romans now you're not 494 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,000 doing a work independent of God to be right with God cause the 495 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,120 law showed you couldn't do that. But once you're born again, he 496 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880 didn't do away with the law, he fulfilled it. 497 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,880 So guess what's still in play? Thou shalt not commit adultery. 498 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,160 Y'all went there first. OK, I was going to say murder 499 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,320 myself. We might need to do a marriage 500 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:36,400 seminar right now, huh? I bond that religious or lustful 501 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,520 spirit right now in Jesus name away from all these people. 502 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,840 OK, so to say that the law's been destroyed and we don't have 503 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,840 to live a no in the New Covenant, you can't murder 504 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,400 someone under grace. I don't like you. 505 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,560 I'm going to kill you because I'm tired of hearing your mouth 506 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,560 because I'm under grace. Oh, this preach is really good. 507 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:09,040 OK, now again, the whole context of law is in that dispensation 508 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,600 God reveals. Look how much of A Sinner you 509 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,960 are, because prior to the law they were doing whatever they. 510 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Want to do and they did what seems right. 511 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,600 They had no boundaries or nothing that God was setting a 512 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,080 standard that was revealing their sin to them. 513 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,200 But when the law came it revealed it. 514 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,600 In fact, Paul said that he said now listen, until the law came, 515 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440 I didn't know I was coveting though I was. 516 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,600 And the minute the law showed up, covetousness came alive in 517 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,080 me. All of a sudden I realized, man, 518 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,520 I covet. I'm doing that. 519 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,880 So the law revealed the heart. Jesus makes us a new creature in 520 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,880 Christ because when Jesus came, he didn't murder people, he 521 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,960 didn't steal, he didn't covet. He fulfilled the law, which 522 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,560 means now the spirit in you, you get to fulfill it too. 523 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,120 You don't have desires to want to covet your neighbor's stuff 524 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,440 because if you did, you'd be like, something ain't right with 525 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,480 me. That's a freaking nature. 526 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,600 You can't covet someone's stuff under grace and God be like I'm 527 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,280 fine with. It. 528 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,600 That's not the point. The point is now you can live in 529 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,320 a way submitted to God by his Spirit and your nature's alive 530 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,240 to God to do so. So independence is the most 531 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,320 dangerous word in the Kingdom and we have embraced it in the 532 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,000 US church that all I need to do is be born again and don't tell 533 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,640 me how I'm supposed to live. But in the Kingdom the king 534 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,640 tells you how you supposed to. In fact, all through the 535 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,200 Scriptures written by Paul to the churches, those are letters 536 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,960 that are saying this in this Kingdom, this is the correct 537 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:50,680 behavior and he never let grace cover bad behavior. 538 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,440 In fact, he says, I'm shocked you're having this behavior 539 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,800 cause the grace of God has actually now empowered you to 540 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,520 not. Have that behavior. 541 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,200 So it's more applicable to question if grace is in your 542 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,800 life. Then it would be to say that 543 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,600 grace is functioning because you can live like you were lost, but 544 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:20,840 still be fine with God. So independence in the US 545 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,080 churches like the United States. I can, I ask Lord, come in my 546 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,400 heart, don't tell me what to do. I can come to church when I want 547 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,720 to. I can do what I want to do. 548 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,160 I can be where I want to be. You can't tell me what I'm sure 549 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,000 not going to submit to a pastor. Forget that. 550 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,760 Ain't nobody going to tell me what to do. 551 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,720 Well, that's U.S. government stuff. 552 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,200 That's not Kingdom. And when you get into 553 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,360 independence, then it breathes the next one, and that is 554 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,000 rebellion. Because the minute Adam saw 555 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,480 himself independent of God, he rebelled. 556 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,240 Now I will say this so you'll understand the difference of 557 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,080 terms. When you're in God's Kingdom, 558 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,760 you lose your independence because you are fully dependent 559 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:14,120 not only on Jesus but his body. You're dependent on both. 560 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,560 So what you you lose your independence, but you do not 561 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,240 lose your individuality. What is this? 562 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,040 What is this? That's my finger. 563 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,520 OK. What is this? 564 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,400 Why'd you call an elbow? Why did? 565 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,560 Why is it not a finger? I mean it's. 566 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,240 My body's a free country. It can do what it wants to do. 567 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:44,400 OK, what's this right here? Come on, what is it? 568 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,240 I'm not at trying to impress you. 569 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,160 I mean, it's all I got. What is this? 570 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,760 I'm pointing at it. Whether you see it or not, it 571 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,360 doesn't matter. Don't make me get you stand up 572 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,880 here, OK? What is this? 573 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,600 A bicep? Why we caught. 574 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:09,840 So it's an individual part of my body and you know, my elbow, my 575 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,159 finger and my bicep work together and they do not fight 576 00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,560 against each other. If they start to fight against 577 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:21,800 each other, then there's an abnormality with me. 578 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,360 That's then I'm seeing LGI got a problem, man. 579 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,000 There's something's wrong. I'm not functioning right. 580 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,280 He's like, let's figure out what individual part of you is 581 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,360 rebelling. Oh yeah, I'm glad we're getting 582 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,280 there. This is good stuff in it. 583 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,719 Wow. So what I'm saying is is that we 584 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,159 have, we're all individual. Please do not be me. 585 00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:45,679 I don't want to be you. Don't be me. 586 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,600 Be who you are and embrace who you are because you're so 587 00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,560 uniquely made and created by God. 588 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,960 But you sure are not independent of me. 589 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,040 You can't say you don't need me. You can't say you don't need the 590 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,200 church. You can't say you can be with 591 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,520 Jesus without church because that's impossible. 592 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,400 He's the head of the church. To be with Jesus without the 593 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,040 church means you cut his head off. 594 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,160 A head without a body is decapitated. 595 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,560 You cannot worship Jesus at your house and think God's OK with 596 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,280 it. Now if you are stuck at home, 597 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,040 that's one. Thing if you're bed bound, 598 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,560 that's one thing. But let me tell you, if you are 599 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,800 bed bound, you need to find you four friends that'd be willing 600 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,200 to pick you up and bring you to church. 601 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,400 Because some people that bed Bob don't won't even get enough 602 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,320 faith and they don't have enough for four friends of faith to say 603 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,000 we got to get you up out of this house. 604 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,960 God never intended you be stuck at the house. 605 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,040 God did not put you on the planet so that you can be stuck 606 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,640 at the house and watch TV ministry. 607 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,080 All right, so the fall of man was not a fall from Dominion. 608 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,000 It was a fall from. Or it was a fall. 609 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,440 From dominion, not a fall from heaven. 610 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,080 The purpose and goal of God's redemptive plan is to restore 611 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,520 mankind back to God's original plan. 612 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,160 So the restoration of God's King's dominion to earth is 613 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,920 God's ultimate goal. Adam lost a Kingdom, not a 614 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,240 religion, and therefore the redemptive work of the Creator 615 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,320 would be the reestablishment of His Kingdom on the earth. 616 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,880 Kenneth E Hagin in his book the The Believers Authority said 617 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,160 this. The trouble with us is that 618 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:30,920 we've preached a cross religion. We need to preach a throne one, 619 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,000 and we love the cross. We wear it, we have it 620 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,440 everywhere. The cross is to remind us of the 621 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,120 price He paid for us. But God never wanted you to 622 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,400 identify only with your sin. You get around some believers 623 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,600 and all they can do is identify with their sin. 624 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,880 I'm just a sorry Sinner saved by grace. 625 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,400 Well, then you're not. Saved if you're still a sorry 626 00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,600 Sinner, how can you be saved if you're a sorry Sinner well 627 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,000 brother, I sin every day like everybody else but I got grace 628 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,920 that's not what grace did grace did not empower you to continue 629 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,280 to sin and be right with God I'm. 630 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,600 Going to say that again. Grace did not empower you to sin 631 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:19,480 and be right with God. OK, grace paid the price first 632 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,080 because of what you could not do to be right with God. 633 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,880 Then grace will come and grab you when you activate it by 634 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,080 faith. Because if you don't have faith, 635 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,800 grace ain't even working. Then grace will go and grab you 636 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,800 out of the grave, snatch you through the cross, and when it 637 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,760 gets you through the cross, your spirit man that's dead without 638 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,840 God gets shoved out the door. He does not accept you as you 639 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,640 are. It doesn't even get in the 640 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,960 Kingdom. Who you were doesn't get in in 641 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,120 the spirit. He snatches out your old spirit, 642 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,520 puts in you a brand new spirit. Now the grace of God will 643 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,400 empower you, because then you receive the same grace, Jesus. 644 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,120 Had. And the grace Jesus had because 645 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,520 he was full of grace, the Bible says. 646 00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:07,840 And if grace only means unmerited favor, I don't deserve 647 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,480 it. What did Jesus do that he didn't 648 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,440 deserve? When was he wrong and grace 649 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,920 kicked in? No, he was a man who knew. 650 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,840 No, you know, the grace he carried, the grace that caused 651 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,920 him. That when he was tempted on all 652 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:29,480 accounts like us, temptation is not sin, it is the door to sin. 653 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,760 And every time the door of temptation opened up at the 654 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,800 devil's like come on over in here and enjoy a little bit of 655 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,720 rebellion. Jesus with his grace could shut 656 00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,840 the door and said, I ain't going there. 657 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,520 Jesus with the grace, he said, said, I'll keep on walking past 658 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:46,840 that door. I'm not getting in. 659 00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:50,040 So you understand anything you've ever been through, Jesus 660 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,280 had the power to shut the door and He made you in His image, 661 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,320 which means now you can go to the door of any temptation and 662 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,840 go. You don't owe me no more. 663 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,960 Not going back there, not talking like that, not drinking 664 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,760 like that, not smoking like that, not acting like that, not 665 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,160 screwing around like that, not laying around like that, not 666 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,640 thinking like that. Shut the door. 667 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,840 You shut it because he's graced you to do so. 668 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:31,120 So if you're walking through the door, then Mercy starts to call 669 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,880 you back. Mercy comes around and says you 670 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,400 need to get up out of this room. You in the wrong room. 671 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,080 You're freaking nature right now. 672 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,040 All right, So we need to preach a throne one. 673 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,040 So kingdom's not a religion, but a government. 674 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,320 It was never God's plan to establish a religion. 675 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,800 This is what happens with religion. 676 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,680 Religion prepares man to leave earth. 677 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:55,000 The Kingdom empowers man to dominate Earth. 678 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,520 You know how many Christians just want to go to heaven and 679 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,680 listen? Heaven's awesome. 680 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,360 It's awesome. But again, we're acting like we 681 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,160 don't even have the God. Like it's going to be great when 682 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,440 we it'd be great because again, I understand we'll be in his 683 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,400 presence personally, but you understand he's in our presence 684 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,680 now in us. If we read the Bible, he's 685 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,520 always coming down to man anyway. 686 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,240 I mean, Jesus name Emmanuel means God and we're acting like 687 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,080 we can't be connected to God unless we're in heaven. 688 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:36,360 He's like, really, I'm in you. I mean, I'm talking to you. 689 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,400 I'm here. You have a religious thought. 690 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,360 Quit trying to leave. Let me keep coming in. 691 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,880 What's it say to pray? When you pray? 692 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,920 Pray this way. Our that. 693 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,560 Whose father? Whose father is it? 694 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,040 Your daddy. OK. 695 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,160 Not just Jesus, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your 696 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,680 name, your Kingdom, your will be on as it is. 697 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,240 So we have the responsibility by faith, through the grace of God, 698 00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,520 to pull his realm into this realm, and we don't have to wait 699 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,880 till we go to heaven to get there. 700 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:09,200 You know what? This is really such a better 701 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:14,120 gospel anyway, when you think about it, Jesus was not so weak 702 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,160 that all he could do was get you to a place when you die. 703 00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:23,200 Jesus so powerful, He's like, I'll bring my place to you while 704 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,880 you're still in the midst of it all. 705 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,240 You understand what I'm saying? I mean, Jesus is not intimidated 706 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,000 with this world and sin. He's not intimidated with the 707 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,320 devil. He's not intimidated with the 708 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,600 rebellion of principalities and powers 'cause he's the king of 709 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,320 Glory Hill. I just get right down in the 710 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,320 middle of that stuff and show righteousness. 711 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,680 They'll be afraid of me. I'm sure not afraid of them. 712 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,040 Are you hearing me? So again, you have the most 713 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,000 powerful presence in the planet today living in you. 714 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,880 I understand we see all kind of horrible stuff, but we're not of 715 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,680 this world. We don't have to function and 716 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,040 participate like that. We have the third person of the 717 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,960 Godhead in US. God lives in US. 718 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,520 It's not destination gospel. It's destiny. 719 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,320 And destiny occurs the minute I call on the name of the Lord. 720 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,480 God made me this way. But if all I do is identify with 721 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,320 my sin nature, then I want to leave. 722 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,440 But God wants me to identify with my Christ nature. 723 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,480 Man, you're a king now. You have royalty, you have 724 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,200 dominion. Go ahead and rule and reign. 725 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,800 Go ahead and fulfill my plan. Go ahead and know that my word 726 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,720 will not return unto me. Boy, just believe, only believe. 727 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,640 So religion focuses on heaven, but the Kingdom focuses on 728 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,160 Earth. Religion is reaching up to God. 729 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,120 The Kingdom is God coming down to man. 730 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,080 Oh man. Religion wants to escape Earth. 731 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,360 The Kingdom impacts, influences and changes the earth. 732 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,560 Jesus came down and changed the planet. 733 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,440 Now sin's still here, but the kingdom's here. 734 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,800 And now that the kingdom's here, it can't get out. 735 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,960 And the devil, no matter how much he tries to suppress the 736 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,800 church, persecute the church, tries to burn Bibles, tries to 737 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,200 cut off the word, he can't stop it. 738 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,400 He cannot squelch it. He. 739 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,880 Cannot stamp it out. He can do not. 740 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,360 It's here and it will never not be here. 741 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,640 And ultimately it's all that will only remain. 742 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:32,120 Are you hearing me? So you need to understand then 743 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,800 that all the governments of the earth, because we look at 744 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,840 religions and then try to equate that with our God, but God's 745 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,120 like, I'm not even associated with religions. 746 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,880 If you really want to try to see who's trying to model me, you 747 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,320 have to look at the governments, because the governments of the 748 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,960 world are attempts to achieve the goal of a perfect. 749 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,280 Kingdom without the necessary raw material of the Holy Ghost. 750 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,520 And you know what, every human heart is searching for a new and 751 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,840 better world. I mean, what does everyone say 752 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,880 we just want peace on earth? I mean, really think about it, 753 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,360 you know, and of our political climate, you know, if people 754 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,560 would quit, you know, being so divisive, right? 755 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,840 And would really just understand that if we really listen to 756 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,200 people, you, you can really start to peer in to they're 757 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,920 really searching for the king. And instead of being so upset 758 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,040 about how they're trying to find the king through sin, we should 759 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,760 say, you know, you're really looking for the king there. 760 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,960 So again, you know, when you think about the whole climate 761 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,920 change and people wanted to, you know, us to to lower our carbon 762 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,920 emission and lower these so that we can have pure water and we 763 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,440 can, you know, that's just people wanting a better world. 764 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,760 You know what they're looking for. 765 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,000 They're looking for the new Earth. 766 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,160 That's what they're looking for. Now, they don't know that. 767 00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,720 And even them, what are they doing? 768 00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,960 They have something within them, and they know they're gonna die. 769 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,520 They know this. Yet there's something about 770 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:15,160 beyond their life that they think exists somewhere, that 771 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,840 they want the planet. Because why are they so 772 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,000 concerned about humans living after them? 773 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,320 Why are they concerned about that? 774 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:34,120 The planet could go so bad that it wipes out all humans 'cause 775 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,080 that's really a pull towards an eternal thought, an eternal 776 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,440 thought. And if we would be more apt to 777 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,720 hear, instead of being divisive, we could really begin to say, 778 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,080 wow, you're, that's, you're, you're almost touching the 779 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,680 Kingdom. What do you mean I'm almost 780 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,560 touching the Kingdom? You know, the Lord's really 781 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:58,560 concerned about the earth. He sees a lot of stuff going on 782 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,480 here, too. I mean, you think oil is bad for 783 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,440 our planet? You think carbon emissions are 784 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,000 bad for our planet? You want to know the number one 785 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,320 thing that is destroying our planet? 786 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,280 It's blood. It's the. 787 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,840 Spilling of innocent blood. The spilling of innocent blood 788 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:26,240 will cause God to want to show up in a nation because that 789 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:32,120 talks. We're trying to clean up oil 790 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,680 spills and carbon when nobody's trying to clean up the spilling 791 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,920 of innocent blood. Now that has more contamination 792 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,280 in the earth. Oh, y'all don't want to hear 793 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,240 this? See, because the church has 794 00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:49,280 dumbed itself down so much to want to go to heaven that we 795 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,960 don't recognize that the real root of problems is sin. 796 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,680 You're not going to change the planet unless you deal with the 797 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,960 spilling of blood. You're not going to save a 798 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,520 planet. This is why Jesus Christ the 799 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:09,760 Lord said Israel, I am going to dispossess all of those people 800 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,360 on that territory because they know I exist. 801 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,800 They did not repent. Their sin now has come to 802 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,280 fullness. I am going to get them out of 803 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,840 that land and dispossessed people. 804 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,040 God moved. Them out of the land because 805 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,960 they were destroying his planet with the spilling of innocent 806 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:42,640 blood. We because the church is so 807 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:49,760 uneducated and equipped to handle modern day problems, we 808 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:58,680 think our issue is climate. The wages of is. 809 00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:05,160 Notice the city. Just do your own natural study. 810 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:12,920 Notice the cities that that participate in actions that are 811 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,320 contrary to scripture. I'm talking behaviors. 812 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:23,760 They allow these things full on. Notice how dilapidated and 813 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:24,840 destructed. Why? 814 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,240 Because every time they do the things that are contrary to 815 00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:33,200 God's work, they are saying death come to us. 816 00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:38,040 So I don't care who wants to be the next governor of Florida. 817 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,520 I don't care who wants to be the next president of the United 818 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,920 States. I don't care who wants to be the 819 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,280 next senator. If all they do is continue to do 820 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:51,080 policies that are contrary to the word of God with this idea 821 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,720 that it is peace and that it's doing more for others, guess 822 00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:56,720 what? The storms are coming. 823 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:04,120 Earthquakes are going to happen, natural disasters going to 824 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,640 happen. Things are going to. 825 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,160 Occur. Why 'cause you're calling death 826 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:14,960 to you, the wages of sin is death. 827 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,520 And we're not dealing with the the the spilling of blood. 828 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,320 See, we're in a Kingdom, not a religion. 829 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,320 So every human heart is searching for a new and better 830 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:27,840 world. All men believe. 831 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:34,200 Listen, all men believe except for religious Christians really, 832 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,720 that government is the answer. And here's the thing, so does 833 00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:43,680 God. God believes that government is 834 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:48,320 the answer because God never came to bring a religion but a 835 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,680 Kingdom. Isaiah Chapter 9, verse six and 836 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,640 seven. You ready for some speed round 837 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,400 here in a minute. Isaiah Chapter 9 verse six and 838 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,200 seven says for a child will be born to us. 839 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,440 Who is this child? Come on, what's his name? 840 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,240 What's his name? His name is what? 841 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,040 Come on. I need you better than this 842 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,240 Again. One more time. 843 00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,360 As you understand, I have the mic. 844 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,040 You don't. So again, we put this on 845 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:15,520 YouTube. We want to be able to have 846 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,160 everybody hearing you. What's his name? 847 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:24,480 A child will be born. To us, a son will be what? 848 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:30,000 Notice the son is not born because the Son always existed 849 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,000 in the beginning was the word and the word was with God. 850 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,280 The word was God, the 14th verse of John chapter one. 851 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:42,560 And the word became and his name is So Jesus is the Son of God. 852 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,520 He's always existed before the account of time. 853 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:52,400 So he can't be born into the world He is given, but the suit 854 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,480 he's placed in is born. So a child will be born to us, a 855 00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:00,040 son will be given, and the that's your Bible. 856 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,200 You know how many people have never read Isaiah's account? 857 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:07,360 They don't look at it because, again, they stay away from the 858 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,400 Old Testament anyway because it scares them. 859 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,080 But it says, and the government will rest on his shoulder. 860 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,080 Whose shoulders? Who's he? 861 00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:18,760 What's his name? What's his name? 862 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:20,920 So what's resting on his shoulders? 863 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,240 Not a religion. Jesus never intended to bring 864 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,880 Christianity. He only intended to bring the 865 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,280 Kingdom. He doesn't say repent for 866 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:37,360 Christianity is at hand. He never said that. 867 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,120 In fact, I think it's only three times that Christian is 868 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,280 mentioned in the. Bible and all of them are by 869 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,400 pagans, meaning people outside of the church. 870 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,560 Which is their label. And Christian is not a negative 871 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,040 term. OK, so I'm not here to say quit 872 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,120 calling yourself a Christian, but be it. 873 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,760 Christian means to be Christ like. 874 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,040 That means to be like a king, like the king. 875 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,520 So if you're like the king, be a Christian. 876 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:09,240 But if you're not. Like the king, then you're just 877 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:11,240 putting a label on yourself that you're not. 878 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,600 You can wear AT shirt and not be it. 879 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,160 You can get a tattoo and not be it. 880 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,720 I mean it can be a permanent on you, a cross, a scripture and 881 00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:27,400 not live it. You can wear the necklace. 882 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,000 I didn't matter. You can have it all in your car 883 00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:34,640 doesn't matter. But it says the government will 884 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,360 rest on his what shoulders and his name will be called 885 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,920 Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father. 886 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,720 Appearance of Pete there will be no end to the increase of his. 887 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,600 Or of peace on the throne of David. 888 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,520 Thrones are in kingdoms, not religions. 889 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,960 And over his Kingdom to establish it, and behold it with 890 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,440 justice and righteousness from then on. 891 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,960 And. Forever the zeal of the Lord of 892 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,720 hosts will accomplishes. Notice in these verses. 893 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,880 God believes that the answer to the world's problem is His 894 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,520 government. His government. 895 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:08,960 Now here's the thing about His government. 896 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:14,480 If you're going to be in His Kingdom, you must be a born 897 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:20,720 citizen of that Kingdom. You cannot immigrate there by 898 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:24,840 passing a test of your own free will. 899 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,160 You can't physically cross its borders. 900 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,680 The good news is Jesus made the way for you to become a born 901 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,320 citizen of His Kingdom. Are you hearing me? 902 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,120 Now notice the government will rest where on his shoulders? 903 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,680 Where are the shoulders located in the body is below the head. 904 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,120 You got the head and neck connects to the shoulder. 905 00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:47,760 So the government rests on the shoulder. 906 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:52,520 So tells us this God's demonstration of his government 907 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:57,240 Kingdom rests with the church and most of the church is 908 00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:06,160 religious, which tells me then it's really not the church. 909 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,800 Now why do I say that Because Jesus says this in Matthew 910 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,640 chapter 16 verse 18. He said upon the revelation that 911 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:18,520 I'm the Christ said that to Peter upon the revelation upon 912 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,000 this rock. That is the revelation. 913 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,200 I'm the Christ not upon Peter. So we're not building the church 914 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,360 on Peter or his bones because he said. 915 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,800 Peter, who do you say that I am? Or he said, who do you say that 916 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,160 I am? And Peter says you are the 917 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,480 Christ, the Son of the living God. 918 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,760 And he said, Peter, you're blessed because my father has 919 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,960 revealed to you, and I'll no longer call you Simon, but 920 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,680 Peter, which is Little Rock. And why does he say Little Rock? 921 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,280 Because again, who is the big rock? 922 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,080 Who is the chief cornerstone? So This is why I said I'll call 923 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,080 you Peter or the Little Rock, because guess what? 924 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:56,000 You are a representation of me. I'm the rock, and you're a rock 925 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,600 like me. Because when you die to Christ, 926 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,600 it's no longer you who live, but Christ now lives in you, and you 927 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,640 get lost in him. So they should see. 928 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,000 When they see you, they should be seeing Jesus. 929 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,200 So set us upon this revelation that I am the Christ or the 930 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,920 King, that I will build my church. 931 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,800 Jesus never delegated the building of his church to a 932 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:23,720 pastor or an apostle or a missionary or an evangelist or a 933 00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:27,280 prophet or a teacher. Jesus says I'll be on the throne 934 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,120 in heaven, but I'm active in my church. 935 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,880 And if he's building the church, guess what? 936 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,720 That church is going to be talking about the Kingdom, 937 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,600 because that's all Jesus preached. 938 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,360 I said that's all he preached. And it says there'll be no end 939 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,680 to the increase. Is his Kingdom in here today? 940 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:52,320 So the Kingdom mandate runs throughout the entire Bible. 941 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,600 The re establishment to humanity started with Abram, which was 942 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,960 not a religion but a nation. You're ready for speed realm. 943 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,720 OK 'cause we're going to baptize some people today. 944 00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:06,320 I'm going to give you a quick little speed round Genesis 945 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,760 chapter 12. Let's go. 946 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,120 Let's take a trip through the Bible because we understand 947 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,800 this. In Genesis 3, when Adam fell 948 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,080 from demand, the Lord said, Adam, what'd you do? 949 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,320 And as he said, where are you? And we understand that he knew 950 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,160 where he is because he's omnipresent. 951 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,880 He's all knowing, omniscient. So it's not like he doesn't know 952 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,160 he's eating the fruit, but he says, where are you? 953 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:24,800 Which means, what position are you in now? 954 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,840 Because you're sure not in dominion, right? 955 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:35,040 And so Adam blames God and says, well, it's that woman you gave 956 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,720 me. She ate the fruit and gave it to 957 00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:39,120 me. He could have said, well, you 958 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,200 were there listening to the conversation and let her eat it 959 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,760 and didn't try to say anything. But he didn't say that, did he? 960 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,520 He said, Eve, what'd you do now? Eve tells the truth. 961 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:52,680 She said I was deceived because she was by the serpent and I 962 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:54,720 ate. He said I'll come back to both 963 00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:56,080 of y'all. Then he gets to the serpent. 964 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,440 He doesn't say. What have you done? 965 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,760 No, no, no. What have you done? 966 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,880 He's like, this is what's going to happen, he said. 967 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,560 This is what's going to happen, he said. 968 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:14,960 I have spoken my word, and my word does not return unto me 969 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,040 void. In essence, whatever my word 970 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,400 says, the ability for that word to come to pass will always come 971 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:27,040 to pass. So before you showed up, I said, 972 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,680 let's make man in our image according to our notness, and 973 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,840 let them rule. Adam now has eaten the fruit, 974 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,080 abdicated his throne, and given it to the devil, giving him 975 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:43,640 rulership on the planet. So God is not in control of 976 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,000 everything on planet earth. That is a religious thought. 977 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,920 God's in control of everything. No, he's not. 978 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,440 He's not in control of what the devil's doing. 979 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,760 You know what God's literally in control of? 980 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:59,600 His word. His word. 981 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,880 He's not in control of your word and he's not controlling your 982 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,280 word because if he could control your word, he would cause you to 983 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,560 call him Lord and then none would go to the lake of fire. 984 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,440 But he can't control you because love doesn't control you. 985 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,640 Oh, y'all don't want to hear this? 986 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,000 That's fine because we want to believe God's in control. 987 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,200 He's in control of His word, and if you do His word, he'll have 988 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,960 that word come to pass. So now he says, here's the 989 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,440 problem. Adam has fallen from dominion. 990 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,200 Now when he sleeps with his wife and they have children, they'll 991 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,160 produce after your kind, which means rebellion. 992 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,000 That's not my kind. So I'm going to have my con. 993 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,640 And since the woman was honest, I can't use the man to 994 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,760 participate. I'm going to show up again with 995 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:52,840 my seed in a virgin woman. And when he gets in the planet 996 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,960 he will crush your head. Because I gave dominion to man, 997 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:02,840 I must now send my son as a man 'cause that's the legal entrance 998 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,200 into the earth. And if it if a man lost the 999 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,120 dominion, then it requires a. A man to get the dominion, and I 1000 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,480 must become a man in order to do that. 1001 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:19,400 This is why Jesus has to come, because if Jesus, if God could 1002 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:26,200 just forgive, then why didn't he just say, well, Adam, I forgive 1003 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,040 you. You've never made a mistake, 1004 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,800 son. You've never made a mistake. 1005 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:35,920 This first one, because God said this Adam, if you eat the fruit, 1006 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,440 he does what he says because he's a king. 1007 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,040 His whole Kingdom is on his ability to do his word. 1008 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,680 If you eat the fruit, you're going to die. 1009 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,760 Did he eat the fruit? So is death there? 1010 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,440 Well, there's a problem. Death has to be paid. 1011 00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:02,120 He can't sweep it under the rug. So he says there's only one 1012 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,040 payment made. There's only one thing that can 1013 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,320 be done to pay the penalty. That's why the Bible says when 1014 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,400 you're born again, what are you? Come on, what are you? 1015 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:21,480 No, you have been ransomed. You have been bought with a Now 1016 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,280 most believers don't see it this way because we love free. 1017 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,960 Imagine Jesus on the cross right now. 1018 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,960 He's beaten so bad you cannot tell. 1019 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:41,800 He's a man. Still has a crown of thorns 1020 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,280 shoved on his head. He's been stripped of his 1021 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,320 clothes. Flesh is ripped off his back, 1022 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:54,000 sides, face, arms, and he's hanging there and blood's just 1023 01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:01,040 pouring down. He stretched all out and blood's 1024 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,760 flowing. He dies. 1025 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,080 They Pierce his side, see it as so, and we don't hear about him 1026 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:14,320 for three days, but on the third day he comes and he's carrying 1027 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,360 something. He's got to take it to heaven. 1028 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,120 It's called payment. See, when we look at the cross, 1029 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,000 we don't see that that's a financial transaction. 1030 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:32,640 That's a payment of a debt. So it may be free for you to 1031 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:37,960 call on the name of the Lord, but it cost God his Son, and his 1032 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,960 blood was a price. It says He redeemed you not with 1033 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,000 an imperishable, with a perishable item called silver 1034 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:50,200 and gold, but with the precious blood of Jesus. 1035 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:56,200 And I am shocked at Christians who get born again and have no 1036 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,800 value for the full price of the blood. 1037 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,720 You know what we call those people whose parents have a lot 1038 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,920 of money and they give them everything they want and they 1039 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:13,280 don't value it spoiled. And the US church has created 1040 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:19,680 spoiled believers. And us that aren't in that 1041 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,200 natural family, we're like, man, we would be wait. 1042 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,400 I mean, we would really appreciate it. 1043 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,880 I mean, they don't even value. Well, how many of us don't even 1044 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:37,160 value because again, we've made our Jesus a religion instead of 1045 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,680 a Kingdom. And we'll tell the King, maybe 1046 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,160 I'll come, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll do what you say, 1047 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,840 maybe I don't just Remember Me when I die, that I asked you to 1048 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,840 come into my heart and save me. Now you make sure you do that. 1049 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,600 You better do your part in the Lord's light. 1050 01:02:53,920 --> 01:03:00,720 Well, do your part. You called me Lord to get into 1051 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,200 this thing that means supreme authority. 1052 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,600 That's not a religious term. Now you do your. 1053 01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,040 Part. Because I sure did my part and 1054 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:15,560 I'll never not do my part. So the Lord says I'll have a 1055 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:21,000 pathway for man to have dominion because what I said has the 1056 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,800 ability to come to pass. And at this point He has 1057 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,800 fulfilled that through the death, burial, resurrection of 1058 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,280 Jesus. That word is in play right now. 1059 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,760 All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. 1060 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:35,400 And guess what, you will be. You will have, you will have 1061 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,840 been given dominion again so that you can rule and reign 1062 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,240 while you're in the earth and God's word has come to pass. 1063 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,920 But for those who do not call on the name, guess what? 1064 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,680 You also get what the word said. If you don't do what I say, 1065 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,720 you're going to die, and people will be cast into the lake of 1066 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:58,080 fire, even though the blood has been paid to forgive them. 1067 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,440 You ready for speed round? Here we go. 1068 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:02,840 I'm going to do this in 10 minutes. 1069 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,680 Genesis 12, one through 3, says this. 1070 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,560 Now the Lord said to Abram, go forth from your country and from 1071 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,760 your relatives, and from your father's house to a land which I 1072 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,040 will show you, and I will make you a great what nation, not a 1073 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:15,760 religion. And I'll bless you and make you 1074 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,120 a your name great, and you shall be a blessing. 1075 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,160 And I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse 1076 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,800 you. And then and you, all the 1077 01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,520 families of the earth will be blessed. 1078 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,640 So Abram gets a name change to Abraham. 1079 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,040 Abraham means the father of many nations, not the father of many 1080 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,000 religions or the father of a religion that ultimately will 1081 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,200 allow people to be born again and get into heaven. 1082 01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,560 His name is Abraham, a father of many nations. 1083 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,400 Again, because it's always been about a king, his Kingdom and 1084 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,280 his royal offspring. Abraham gives birth to a boy 1085 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,200 named Isaac. Isaac is a covenant child that 1086 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,520 the Lord says will be his covenant. 1087 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,560 But ultimately he said, now go kill your son. 1088 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,600 And he does that because he needs to know, does Abraham 1089 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,120 actually love me? And so when he would not 1090 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,360 withhold his own son, but was with full intent willing to kill 1091 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,440 him, the Lord stopped the whole thing. 1092 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,160 He said, I know I have your whole heart. 1093 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,000 You're willing to do whatever I say, but it's not your son that 1094 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,360 has to die. I'll send mine later. 1095 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,200 That boy Isaac gives birth to another son by the name of 1096 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,720 Jacob. Jacob wrestles with the Lord and 1097 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:25,240 gets a new name called Israel. Israel has twelve sons that 1098 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,400 become tribes of a nation, and that nation is in our earth 1099 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:36,160 still today. And God was the king of this 1100 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,680 nation. He delivered them out of Egypt. 1101 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,280 He was a nation deliverer. He pulled His nation out of an 1102 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,360 oppressive nation which is a type and shadow of us, coming 1103 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,720 out of the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of His beloved 1104 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,760 Son. And so he took this nation, 1105 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,920 brought them into a place where they were to conquer their 1106 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,480 enemies. Live in a land that flow with 1107 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,920 milk and honey. That is the new birth experience 1108 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,120 while you're on the earth, because there are no giants in 1109 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,040 heaven, there is no sickness and disease in heaven. 1110 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,120 There is no thing to cast out. That is earth impact. 1111 01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,960 That is what it looks like. When the nation of God's Kingdom 1112 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,680 goes into the world with its influence, it will overcome that 1113 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,920 place and move things out and show He was showing the world. 1114 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,880 If you will follow me like this nation does, you'll be blessed 1115 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,640 going in, blessed going out. You'll be the head and not the 1116 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,200 tail. It was always about a Kingdom, 1117 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:39,000 but he told that nation you can't do what you want to do. 1118 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,160 But eventually because they were not born of the Spirit, they 1119 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,520 looked with their eyes instead of listening with their hearts. 1120 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,720 They said we want to see our king. 1121 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,320 And we get into first Samuel chapter 8, verse 7, where we 1122 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,280 find that Samuel the prophet is talking to the Lord concerning 1123 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,520 this problematic issue. That this whole nation who has 1124 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,520 followed the Lord and his voice in the voice of the prophets to 1125 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,760 conquer and land and take possession and be blessed, now 1126 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,800 says we want to see our king. And he says, Samuel, give the 1127 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,560 people what they want, for they have rejected me as king, not 1128 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,800 you. So the Lord calls himself king 1129 01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,760 in this context, because the Bible's always been about a 1130 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,160 king, his Kingdom and his royal offspring. 1131 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,720 We see in Psalms 24/7 through 10. 1132 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,520 He says, lift up your head, O gates, and be lifted up, O 1133 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,280 ancient doors, the that the king of glory may come in. 1134 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,760 Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the 1135 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,160 Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, and 1136 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,880 lift them up, O ancient doors, that the king of glory may come 1137 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,680 in. Who is the king of glory? 1138 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,800 The Lord of post? He is the king of glory. 1139 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:54,520 Psalms 47, seven For God is king of all the earth. 1140 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,800 Sing praises with understanding. Daniel communicates to 1141 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,600 Nebuchadnezzar of a statue that he had in a dream. 1142 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,920 And he says the in there are these different layers of of, 1143 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,280 of, of metals. And then finally we'll get to 1144 01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,640 some feet with some metal and clay, which is iron and clay 1145 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,280 mixed together. But a rock is going to be made 1146 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,280 without hands. Who is that rock? 1147 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,120 His name's Jesus, and Jesus comes and crushes every 1148 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,040 government. Every one of those layers 1149 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,840 represented not religions, not other belief systems, but 1150 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,800 governments, he said. My Kingdom is going to come and 1151 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,200 crush every other government. And it says Then that rock 1152 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,479 turned into a great mountain and took over the whole planet. 1153 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,920 Here's the thing. The Kingdom of God is a global 1154 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:42,960 takeover. Zechariah 99 says rejoice 1155 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,000 greatly, old daughter of Zion, shout in triumph. 1156 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,000 Old daughter of Jerusalem, behold, your king is coming to 1157 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:50,800 you. He is just an endowed with 1158 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,840 salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, even on a cult, the 1159 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,040 foal of a donkey. The whole old covenant is as 1160 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,600 this context of what a king would look like with a nation 1161 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,160 who obeyed him. So when we look at the Old 1162 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,120 Testament, it's not just useless information what it is, it's our 1163 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:13,359 history book of a model of what God wanted to do as a king over 1164 01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:16,040 a group of people who would obey him, which would demonstrate I 1165 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,920 love you. And it shows them that they 1166 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,920 would be extremely blessed. But if they rebelled against 1167 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:25,160 their king, then they would be overtaken by other governments 1168 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,960 are the enemy. Now we Fast forward into the new 1169 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,760 covenant and when we get to the new covenant, notice in Luke 1170 01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,040 chapter one verse 30 and 33, it's not ushering in 1171 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:38,120 Christianity or religion. It says the Angel says to Mary, 1172 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,600 do not be afraid, for you have found favor with God. 1173 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,800 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and 1174 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,479 you shall name him what? Come on, what's his name? 1175 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,960 Only got 5 minutes. He will be great and you shall 1176 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,479 call him son of the most High. The Lord God will give him the 1177 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:58,360 what throne of his father David was David over a religion? 1178 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:03,760 He was over a what Kingdom Thrones are in Kingdom and he 1179 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:09,080 will what reign over the House of Jacob Forever and his and his 1180 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:14,080 and his will have no end. Jesus did not come to bring 1181 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:18,520 Christianity, He came to bring the Kingdom back to the earth 1182 01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,560 where man could get in this Kingdom. 1183 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,760 In Matthew chapter 2, verse one and two says now after Jesus was 1184 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,200 born in Bethlehem of Judea and the days of Herod the king Magi 1185 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,920 from the east, that's wise men arrived in Jerusalem saying 1186 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,760 where is he who has been born king of the Jews? 1187 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,880 We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him. 1188 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,880 So who did the wise men come to see? 1189 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,960 Not the new religious leader, not the new religion to follow. 1190 01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,880 They came seeking a government. Why did these people come and 1191 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,360 where were they coming from? They came from the east and if 1192 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,200 you study this, they came from where? 1193 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:55,280 The original Babylon on was that Daniel was a captive from Israel 1194 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,320 and put in Babylon where he said to Nebuchadnezzar, because he 1195 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:04,480 was known as the seer who had a contact with God and his God was 1196 01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,800 better than any God and he had insight into dreams and he 1197 01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:13,520 prophesied about that statue. And that whole verbal prophecy 1198 01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:18,480 went down century after century after century that these wise 1199 01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:21,040 men are astrologers are waiting for that day. 1200 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,440 And when the Star of David showed up, they said the king is 1201 01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:29,440 here, whoa, the king is here, the King's here, let's pack the 1202 01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:33,640 bags man, let's go. The same star the shepherd saw 1203 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,080 on the night he was born. These guys were about two years 1204 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:43,400 away on foot and by the time they get there, Jesus is a child 1205 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,600 in another house and they brought gifts, 'cause you don't 1206 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:51,200 come to a king empty handed. And they laid down their 1207 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,120 treasures and bowed down before the king. 1208 01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,360 They did not come to seek a religion. 1209 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:04,280 And Luke 443 he says, but he said, I must preach the Kingdom 1210 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:08,120 of God to the other cities, for I was sent for this purpose. 1211 01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:12,480 Jesus wasn't sent just to die for your sins, He sent to 1212 01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:16,320 proclaim His Kingdom. He goes on and says this in 1213 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,680 Matthew 417. From that time Jesus began to 1214 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,640 preach thee and repent, which means change your thinking. 1215 01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,360 It's not a religious word. The Kingdom of heaven is at 1216 01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,440 hand. We've already said in Matthew 69 1217 01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:29,040 and 10, your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth. 1218 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,600 Jesus everywhere he went. You can look it up for yourself 1219 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:36,400 in the four Gospels about 133 times when Jesus was publicly 1220 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,960 preaching, he said the Kingdom of heaven is like this and the 1221 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,120 Kingdom of God is like that. And he did parables that were 1222 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:46,720 only showing the Kingdom. The Bible's about a king, his 1223 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,760 Kingdom and his role offspring. In John chapter 18, verse 33 to 1224 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:57,440 37, Pilot who is a governor for Rome, so he understands 1225 01:12:57,440 --> 01:12:59,400 government. He goes to Jesus says, are you 1226 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,480 the king of the Jews? Didn't ask him what's this 1227 01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:03,640 religion you spreading around among your people? 1228 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,480 Jesus said, are you saying this on your own initiative? 1229 01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:09,800 Did others tell you about me? Which means he's not refuting 1230 01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,560 that statement. Pilate says I'm not a Jew. 1231 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,360 Am I Your own nation and the chief priests delivered to me. 1232 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:16,760 What have you done then? Jesus says this. 1233 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:21,360 My Kingdom is not of this world. Now, that doesn't mean it's not 1234 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,320 in the planet. The word world here is not 1235 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,320 earth. It means systems that operate. 1236 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,560 So what Jesus is saying to my Kingdom does not function like 1237 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:35,120 your kingdoms. He said if my Kingdom were of 1238 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,960 this world, This is why we know this, look what it says, then my 1239 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,360 service would be fighting so that I would not be handed over 1240 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,440 the Jews. Meaning if my Kingdom functioned 1241 01:13:42,440 --> 01:13:46,720 like the world's kingdoms, made no mistake, my army would win. 1242 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:51,160 What did he tell Peter in the garden after he cut off the the 1243 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,120 high priest servants ear? He said don't you know I could 1244 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,400 call a legion of angels down right now? 1245 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,920 Have you not read the Bible where one Angel showed up back 1246 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:05,040 in the old covenant and killed 185,000 Midianites by himself? 1247 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,000 That the prophet Elijah said Lord open up my servants eyes so 1248 01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,080 he can see there's more with me than this natural army that has 1249 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,600 come to take me. And he showed him on the 1250 01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:21,040 mountainside all of these angels with flaming sores and in 1251 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,520 Chariots. They were there to rout that 1252 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,240 natural army at a word from the prophet. 1253 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,320 Woo glory. You understand we have a big 1254 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,840 army. I said we have a big army. 1255 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,480 It's a myriad, a myriad of thousands upon thousands. 1256 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,560 I mean, angels could be dispatched. 1257 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,840 I'm telling you, the planet doesn't have a chance. 1258 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,040 I don't care about nuclear power. 1259 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,520 We have angels. Oh my gosh. 1260 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:52,200 So he goes on and says this. He says, but my Kingdom is not 1261 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,600 of this realm, meaning we don't function this way. 1262 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,760 He goes on and says Pilate says, so you are king. 1263 01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:02,680 Jesus says, you say, see we love Savior Jesus because Savior is 1264 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,160 what he did for us. He saved. 1265 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,800 Us. But if Adam had never eaten the 1266 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,520 fruit, he never would have come to save, because there had been 1267 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,640 nothing to be saved. But you know what? 1268 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:15,640 He's always been Lord, He's always been supreme in 1269 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:16,960 authority, He's always been king. 1270 01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,720 He says, you say correctly that I'm a king. 1271 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:23,440 For this I have been been born, and for this I've come into the 1272 01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:26,080 world to testify the truth. Everyone who hears the truth 1273 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,400 hears my voice. Now Jesus has died on the cross 1274 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,360 and risen from the dead. You think if the message of the 1275 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,280 gospel is about where are you going to go when you die? 1276 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,360 This is the time to preach that gospel. 1277 01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,560 Acts chapter one, verse 3. To these. 1278 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,920 He presented himself alive after a suffering with many convincing 1279 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,480 proof appearing to them over a period of 40 days and Speaking 1280 01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:51,360 of things concerning the Kingdom of God. 1281 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,720 Then they asked him is it the time for the Kingdom? 1282 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,200 He said it's not for you to know that but you going to receive 1283 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,200 power. Jesus did not say just tell 1284 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,920 everybody ask them when you go out and preach where they going 1285 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,640 to go when they die. You will not find that in the 1286 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,960 book of Acts. In fact, Acts chapter 20 verses 1287 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,920 25 and 27. Paul who wrote over half of the 1288 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,800 New Testament. What did he preach? 1289 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:17,040 He says, now behold, I know that all of you among whom I went 1290 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,440 about preaching, what? What do you preach? 1291 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,640 The Kingdom will no longer see my face. 1292 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,760 Therefore I testified you to this day that I'm innocent of 1293 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,560 the blood of all men, for I did not shrink from declaring to you 1294 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,840 the whole purpose of God. Hebrews chapter 12 verse 28. 1295 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,880 Therefore, since we receive a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, 1296 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,360 let us show gratitude by which we offer to God an acceptable 1297 01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,160 service with reverence in our first Timothy chapter 6 verse 1298 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,000 15. He who is blessed. 1299 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:44,640 And only sovereign ruler, the king of kings and the Lord of 1300 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:49,840 Lords, who are kings of the king, who are kings of the king, 1301 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:55,520 who are Lords of the Lord, We are first Peter 29 But you are a 1302 01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:01,680 chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for 1303 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,400 God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the 1304 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,280 excellencies of him who called him out of darkness into Marvel 1305 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:08,400 site. And the last passage of 1306 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,040 Scripture I will give to you today. 1307 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,400 Because we started in Genesis and we have hit Revelations 1308 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,000 because the Bible's about a king, his Kingdom and his royal 1309 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,720 offspring. It's not a religion. 1310 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,960 And 21 verse one and two, it says this. 1311 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:35,320 Then I saw this is after the tribulation, the rapture of the 1312 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,720 Church, the great Tribulation. This is after Jesus Christ comes 1313 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,520 back on a horse with his Saints and sets up a physical Kingdom 1314 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,000 that everyone can see and rules there for 1000 years while the 1315 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,680 devil has been thrown into a bottomless pit during that 1316 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:55,320 duration of which after that duration of 1000 years. 1317 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,040 You want to know what 1000 years looks like? 1318 01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,440 What year are we in 2020? What's 1000 years from now? 1319 01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:05,480 What will it be? 3034 or 24/30/24? 1320 01:18:05,480 --> 01:18:08,480 Which means the planet's not over when you leave. 1321 01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,360 Most believers don't even think like. 1322 01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,760 This. We know that planet Earth will 1323 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:23,720 arrive to the year 3024 because it's 2034. 1324 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:29,000 We know this now. It depends on when Jesus is 1325 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,040 catching away the church and we come back. 1326 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,880 The minute we come back with Jesus, the clock of 1000 years 1327 01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,640 start. So if that's 2033, then guess 1328 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:39,400 what? We know the plan is going to go 1329 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:47,640 on, but we'll see a calendar that says 3033 and you'll be 1330 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,720 here. But after that, he'll release 1331 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:55,440 the devil for a short time. He'll rally the people on the 1332 01:18:55,440 --> 01:19:01,560 earth that are like us now. They'll go against Jesus and us 1333 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,040 at the holy city, Jerusalem, the capital of the world. 1334 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:06,960 Jerusalem is the capital of the world. 1335 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,320 Let me just say, Jerusalem will never fall. 1336 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:19,000 It will be ambushed, it will be attacked, but it will never fall 1337 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,640 'cause it is the capital of the world. 1338 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:28,720 D CS got nothing on Jerusalem. It's the capital of the world 1339 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,880 after that attack, and it doesn't amount to nothing. 1340 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,880 He cast the devil in the lake of fire, and then he takes care of 1341 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,720 everyone that has been dead without Christ and throws him to 1342 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,800 the lake of fire. And then the false prophet and 1343 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,040 the beast are all there and all the angels that he judged. 1344 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,040 Everything's said and done judged. 1345 01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:49,760 Then I saw a new heaven and a new. 1346 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,960 So if we're going to live in heaven forever, why is there 1347 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:57,120 another planet for the 1st heaven and the first earth 1348 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:58,960 passed away and there's no longer any sea. 1349 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,960 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem. 1350 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:09,600 What was it doing coming What down out of heaven made ready as 1351 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,720 a bride adorn for her husband? It's coming down out of heaven. 1352 01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:17,960 Verse 23 And the city has no need of the sun or the moon to 1353 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,400 shine in it, for the glory of the Lord has illuminated, and 1354 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,560 its lamp is the Lamb and the nations. 1355 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:29,080 Will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring 1356 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:36,000 their glory into it. Hallelujah, because the Bible is 1357 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,840 about a king, his Kingdom, and his royal offspring. 1358 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,640 Let's pray, Father, we love you and we honor you and thank you. 1359 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,240 Thank you so much for listening to this message. 1360 01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,680 If you want more, subscribe to our message podcast on iTunes, 1361 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,880 Google Play, Spotify, and SoundCloud. 1362 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,480 Rating and leaving a comment will go a long way with helping 1363 01:20:55,480 --> 01:20:57,200 our messages get better circulation. 1364 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,000 If you'd enjoy watching our weekend messages, visit 1365 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,040 youtube.com/anchor Faith.
