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 --> 00:00:15,880
Now enjoy this message. 
All right, if you have your 

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,280
Bibles, turn to Matthew chapter 
15. 

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,360
I'm super excited about today 
because today is a day that the 

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,080
Lord is allowing me to 
communicate the word of God 

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,440
again. 
And I love these days because I 

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,720
was just in an event. 
We went to summer camp and then 

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,600
I flew to DC to attend where 
believers from all over the 

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,400
nations came together to be able
to, you know, hear from 

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,640
different people that have are 
in office who aspire to be in 

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,280
office. 
And we attended that event. 

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,240
The number one reason why I 
attended that event is because I

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,160
am always, as a pastor, 
concerned about the believer. 

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,560
I'm not concerned about the 
government. 

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,520
You understand this. 
I have to do my part in the 

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,920
government, but at the end of 
the day, the church thrives. 

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Period. 
There is no government on the 

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080
planet that can stop the church 
right now. 

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,240
In the most oppressive 
governments. 

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,880
The church is still growing. 
The church is growing in China 

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,400
right now. 
You just don't hear about it 

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480
because the government will not 
talk to you about it. 

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,760
But it's growing. 
It cannot be pushed out, cannot 

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,880
be snubbed out. 
It cannot be destroyed. 

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Can it be persecuted? 
Yes. 

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440
But it doesn't stop it. 
In fact, if we look at our 

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200
history book called the Bible, 
we see that when persecution 

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,480
does come to the church, it 
actually will grow. 

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,960
It seems to have this ability 
that the tougher it gets, the 

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,040
more wildfire it will spread. 
Like wildfire, it will spread 

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,680
because there's something 
innately within the believer 

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,560
that when pushback comes to the 
point of death, they are willing

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,560
to lay down their life like 
their king did, and it somehow 

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,160
seems to spread his message at a
greater level. 

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Now, that doesn't mean that the 
Lord doesn't want us to have 

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400
peace and that it can't because 
you understand, Jesus came to 

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,800
the earth under a very 
tyrannical government called the

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Roman Empire. 
The Roman Empire was not a nice 

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,040
government, OK? 
And he could navigate. 

41
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760
You understand this. 
He actually had no issues with 

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,000
the Roman government, not when 
he was ministering, didn't have 

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,120
issues. 
He had issues with his own 

44
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,520
nation and it was the religious 
people he had issues with 

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,640
because it was the religious 
that they had partnered with the

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,560
local government and they like 
the government power that was 

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,960
established within the Roman 
Empire instead of the government

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,240
power that was associated with 
the Kingdom of God. 

49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,200
They love the notoriety of men 
within government more than the 

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,480
notoriety of the King himself, 
and as a result of that they 

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,880
would adjust the word to be able
to adopt what they considered 

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,920
traditions. 
They would use God's words to 

53
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:15,720
create these man made traditions
that seem holy, but honestly 

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960
they were not. 
They were taking the word out of

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,760
context and they were actually 
causing the word not to not be 

56
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,600
acted upon. 
And Jesus took great issue with 

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,640
this. 
OK, but as far as with, you 

58
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,000
know, the Roman government in 
general, he didn't have, he 

59
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,240
didn't say much about it because
to him it's, it's a mute point 

60
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400
'cause once the kingdom's in the
earth, the kingdom's in the 

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,120
earth, you can't take it out. 
It is the supreme government of 

62
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,400
the planet. 
OK, Now why am I talking 

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560
government so much? 
Because the Bible's about a king

64
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200
is Kingdom and Israel offspring.
It actually is a governmental 

65
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,480
document and so we've used it as
a religious document for years. 

66
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,800
When the reality is religion, if
you use that term, if you break 

67
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,640
it down, it means a belief 
system. 

68
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,840
And you understand every 
government has a belief system. 

69
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,120
So we've tried to separate 
something when the reality is 

70
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,200
the state of any government is 
the state of the church. 

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,800
Now with that being said, I'm in
a room with all these believers 

72
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,440
from different types of belief 
systems when I say that 

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,360
denominations and all that. 
And so I'm listening because the

74
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,720
ones that are elected to office 
stand behind the lectern and 

75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,440
begin to quote scripture. 
If you're going to quote 

76
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,160
Scripture, my ears are going to 
be listening to determine, to 

77
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,320
determine. 
Are you rightly dividing that 

78
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,200
scripture? 
Because both Republicans and 

79
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Democrats, as far as a party, 
quote scripture, but even the 

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,080
devil quotes scripture. 
Are you hearing me? 

81
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,600
I have seen a trend happening 
that gives me great concern and 

82
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,480
that is where Christians in the 
United States are trading their 

83
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440
Christianity for being a 
conservative. 

84
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,320
OK, that got quiet. 
I love that you understand being

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:29,880
a conservative is not holy, nor 
is being a liberal, but you 

86
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,160
understand in the Kingdom of God
there is. 

87
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,320
He is very liberal about some 
things. 

88
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520
I'm not talking about policies 
that are the same. 

89
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,800
I'm just saying in the term 
liberal, God has some very 

90
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,000
liberal things that he does, but
on the other side, he's 

91
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,720
extremely conservative. 
So they take terms that come 

92
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,960
from our government and they 
tend to use it in their 

93
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,760
particular platforms and then 
use his words to try to make 

94
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,200
their point. 
One of the ones most used within

95
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,560
the Democratic Party is Matthew 
chapter 25. 

96
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,000
And in Matthew chapter 25, it 
says, if we do this to the least

97
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,040
of one of these of ours, now, 
that is one of the most 

98
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,320
misquoted unscriptural 
statements that they make, 

99
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,120
because the context of Matthew 
25 is not to the world. 

100
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,280
When I was naked, you gave me 
clothes. 

101
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,840
When I was hungry, you gave me 
food. 

102
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640
That was not to the world. 
It says, if you've done this to 

103
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,080
the least of one of mine, well, 
who's his? 

104
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Because the world is not 
Jesus's. 

105
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:52,800
The church is Jesus's. 
But yet no Republican questions 

106
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,920
the Scripture to them because 
they don't know it either. 

107
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:00,600
Most of the time they don't know
it. 

108
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,640
And so they spout all things, 
communicate things. 

109
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,560
And I've realized that there is 
this rallying happening and I 

110
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,520
understand there is a moral 
issue that's happening in our 

111
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040
land. 
And if again, if you go just to 

112
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Scripture and many people 
dispute Thomas Jefferson in this

113
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,120
context, I wasn't there 
personally. 

114
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,520
So I do not currently know his 
motivation. 

115
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,000
There are those that lean on one
side that said he, he 

116
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,520
emphatically believed in Jesus 
Christ as Lord. 

117
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000
There are others on another side
that said that he was a deist, 

118
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640
which means he believed in a 
God, but not necessarily that 

119
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920
Jesus was the Son of God. 
I don't know and never talked to

120
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,720
him personally, but I will say 
this based upon the Thomas 

121
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Jefferson Bible, which is he 
took extracted out and again 

122
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,520
when I said this understand 
there's a reason why that is. 

123
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,880
I don't know which one 
specifically. 

124
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
If it is the one that he just 
didn't believe that Jesus was a 

125
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,680
miracle worker and he took it 
out, well, that would be a 

126
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,880
problem. 
According to Scripture, you're 

127
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,680
not supposed to take things out.
OK, if that was his intent, 

128
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,840
that's a problem. 
But if his intent was, let's not

129
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,960
debate as a nation of whether or
not Jesus is the Son of God. 

130
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Let's just look at his moral 
work and if you in which if you 

131
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,400
extract the miracles out and 
just look at his moral work, 

132
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,480
which is his social work. 
If a nation live by that social 

133
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,159
order alone, it would be blessed
and prosperous and would be good

134
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,200
for the all of mankind. 
And that's what's his point. 

135
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,440
I believe potentially if you 
look at just the standards that 

136
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Jesus put within the moral 
fabric of humanity, if you base 

137
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,640
laws upon that, then the society
as a whole, whether you're 

138
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,160
righteous or unrighteous, would 
be blessed as a result of it. 

139
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,520
And, and there's a point there 
to be made, however, in our 

140
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,400
nation because of this issue. 
And I'll be honest with you, I 

141
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,120
was a little vocal in the crowd.
My wife had to shush me, had a 

142
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,640
particular speaker say that it 
was the church's responsibility 

143
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,040
or it's it's problem for the 
problems of our nation. 

144
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,320
They blame the church. 
Well, I take issue with that 

145
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,240
statement. 
The number one reason why I take

146
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,400
issue with that statement is, is
that we have a huge trend today 

147
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,800
in our nation where people call 
themselves believers but do not 

148
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:49,880
actively attend the church. 
So here's the thing, if you're a

149
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,520
Republican or Democrat or any 
other party, which you know, the

150
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,480
Green Party, the Libertarian 
Party, I don't know them all, 

151
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,240
'cause there's quite a few 
parties out there that you're 

152
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040
unaware that are there because 
they give them no media time. 

153
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,000
But in all those parties, they 
will tell you the only way we 

154
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,640
can win an election is if we 
come together, we mobilize, we 

155
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,640
turn, turn out and vote. 
That means we have to do it on a

156
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:24,560
very specific time frame. 
Oh, y'all don't want to hear 

157
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:28,160
this? 
In essence, they'll say we need 

158
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,560
you to go vote. 
You either need to do it the 

159
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:37,520
minute early voting opens. 
That means it's a defined time, 

160
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,640
or the day of election, which is
November the 5th. 

161
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800
It is. 
Polls open at 7:00 AM. 

162
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,360
They close I think at 7:00 PM, 
usually 12 hours. 

163
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:58,560
That is a defined time and you 
need to get out and vote and 

164
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:02,160
then you're going to say the 
church is the the the the 

165
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,640
blaming party of the condition 
of our nation. 

166
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,280
When pastors are giving just 
fine times for us to come 

167
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,560
together in unity so that we can
grow in the things of God and 

168
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,600
the culture of the Kingdom. 
That way we can go out as a 

169
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:28,440
group to influence the world. 
No one would even be talking 

170
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:35,520
about Trump's re election run if
he went to a community and no 

171
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:43,600
one showed up, no one showed up.
Everybody would laugh, say well 

172
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,080
when he first ran, thousands, 
10s of thousands, hundreds of 

173
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,760
thousands showed up. 
Now he gets out there, nobody's 

174
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,280
there. 
Why are we? 

175
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Why do people take notice? 
Because everyone seems to show 

176
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:09,800
up at the time spoken to 
assemble and then we want to say

177
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,200
it's the church's problem. 
Well, I would say it's the 

178
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,680
believer's problem because it's 
not the church's problem. 

179
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:21,240
The church has been assembling, 
but has the believer? 

180
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,520
I said has the believer because 
if we have been assembling and 

181
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,440
if we have been growing in the 
things of the Kingdom, if we 

182
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,600
have actually been rightly 
interpreting the word of God and

183
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,720
not seen it as a document that 
it causes us to escape the 

184
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,520
earth. 
Where are we going to go when we

185
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,120
die book. 
But how do we change our culture

186
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,960
in the earth through our culture
that's from another world. 

187
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240
While we're in the earth, then 
you know what? 

188
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Our nation would be different. 
And I'll say it this way. 

189
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,480
If you truly believe that Jesus 
Christ is the Son of God and the

190
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Word of God is the infallible 
word of God, and you actually 

191
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,280
rightly divide it through the 
interpretation with the Holy 

192
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,080
Ghost, then every professing 
believer in the United States in

193
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,600
two election cycles would remove
any type of politician that was 

194
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,840
wicked and only put those in 
that had an ear towards the 

195
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,320
Lord. 
I'm not saying that they had to 

196
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,800
be born again, they would just 
be an ear towards the Lord. 

197
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:27,880
It would only take two election 
cycles, but because we don't 

198
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:37,000
assemble, so it's not the 
church, it's a disengaged 

199
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,800
believer. 
Same thing if someone loses an 

200
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,680
election, typically what they 
do, they'll say, well, the 

201
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:51,440
voters didn't turn out. 
We had low voter. 

202
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,840
There's plenty of, I mean, right
now you understand, in our 

203
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,680
nation, Anila, do you know off 
the top of your head how many 

204
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,000
people typically vote in an 
election? 

205
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,520
25, OK. 
I think they said for believers,

206
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,960
only about 25% of profession 
believers turn out to vote. 

207
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:24,440
That means 75% don't assemble. 
Don't assemble. 

208
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:32,400
In fact, every registered voter 
in our county has never voted on

209
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,400
an Election Day. 
We've always had absentees, 

210
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:44,320
meaning they didn't vote. 
So once again, you would hear a 

211
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,240
politician say this if you 
didn't vote, you shouldn't 

212
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,920
complain about your government. 
Well, I would say if you don't 

213
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,320
attend church, you shouldn't. 
You shouldn't talk about the 

214
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:02,520
church. 
If you don't attend church 

215
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:08,440
actively and submitted to a 
pastor and a local vision, then 

216
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600
you should quit complaining 
about the church. 

217
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,840
You should quit because again, 
you have no actual investment in

218
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,080
some in the organization that 
Jesus invested his blood for. 

219
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Hallelujah. 
Say Amen. 

220
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Anyway, Matthew 15 three says 
this y'all doing all right, all 

221
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,040
right. 
And he answered and said to 

222
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760
them, why do you transgress? 
Why you self transgress the 

223
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
commandment of God for the sake 
of your tradition. 

224
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880
I love the Kingdom of God 
because the Kingdom of God 

225
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:52,080
destroys every religious 
tradition, absolutely dismantles

226
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,600
it. 
And the Bible again is about a 

227
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,560
king, his Kingdom and his rural 
offspring. 

228
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,600
It's always been about that and 
we need to learn this more than 

229
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,240
ever because the the suffering 
servant is not returning. 

230
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,600
The suffering servant is not 
returning. 

231
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:14,120
The Lamb that was slain is 
coming back in a in a different 

232
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:20,400
role now. 
He all, he came in this role, 

233
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,920
but he yielded himself. 
But the next time there is no 

234
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,080
yielding. 
His first assignment is He must 

235
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,560
take on the sins of the world. 
He takes on the sins of the 

236
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,640
world so that he can gain power 
again in the earth. 

237
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,240
What do I mean by that? 
Giving the power back to whom 

238
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,600
the power was due. 
Are you hearing me? 

239
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,360
How do we know this? 
In Genesis 11 we said in the 

240
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,040
beginning God created the 
heavens and the earth. 

241
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Psalms 8911 says this. 
The heavens are yours. 

242
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,360
The earth also is yours. 
The world and all it contains, 

243
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,520
You have founded them. 
So God never lost planet earth. 

244
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,800
He formed it, He made it. 
It's his by right of creation. 

245
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Isaiah 4518 says, For this is 
what the Lord says, He who 

246
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,599
created the heavens, He is God 
who fashioned and made the 

247
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,960
earth, He founded it. 
He did not create it to be 

248
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,760
empty, but formed it to be 
inhabited. 

249
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,960
So God created the earth with us
in mind. 

250
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,560
God is in heaven, that is his 
place, that's his residence, OK.

251
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160
And heaven is a literal place, 
OK. 

252
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:28,560
It's not this unseen realm in in
one sense it is seen, we just 

253
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,840
don't technically see it. 
And it is a defined place 

254
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,680
because it is called heaven. 
Heaven is not all encompass of 

255
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,800
everything else. 
OK so heaven is a defined place.

256
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Although God Himself is is 
everywhere and is all knowing, 

257
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,760
omnipresent, all that, there 
still is a containment by which 

258
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,600
Heaven has yet. 
Then He creates this thing 

259
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,640
called earth, and when he 
creates this earth, He had a 

260
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,000
concept in his mind of what He 
would do. 

261
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,320
In Psalms 115 verses 15 and 16, 
he says, May you be blessed of 

262
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,240
the Lord Maker of heaven and 
earth. 

263
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,600
The heavens are the heavens are 
the Lord, but the earth He has 

264
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,280
given to the sons of man. 
The the NIV of verse 16 says it 

265
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,080
this way. 
The highest heavens belong to 

266
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,720
the Lord, but the earth He has 
given to man. 

267
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,400
Are you hearing me? 
And I find it interesting 

268
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,800
because of some of the things 
that are happening in our 

269
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,680
nation. 
The enemy has done a really good

270
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,920
job because he knows what's 
going down. 

271
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,200
Can I say that the enemy knows 
what's going down? 

272
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,280
Let me Fast forward real quick. 
Just so you understand, the 

273
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,320
devil is fully aware of the 
Kingdom of God because in the 

274
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,600
Luke's temptation of Jesus, he 
takes Jesus to a high place. 

275
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,640
He shows him all the kingdoms in
a moment of time. 

276
00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,520
He did not show him the the the 
world's religions because 

277
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
religions were nothing that 
Jesus was struggling with. 

278
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,720
He was not struggling on whether
Bail was the real God or not, 

279
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,440
whether the gods of Rome were 
the real gods or not, or the 

280
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,360
gods of the fallen Greek Empire.
Where gods are are what ones 

281
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,520
that preceded all that stuff 
before. 

282
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,640
Or was Molech really a real guy?
He was not struggling with God 

283
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,320
issues. 
He knew who God was because he 

284
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,200
came from God. 
He had been with God, he was 

285
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,360
God. 
He had no identity crisis when 

286
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:40,480
it came to God. 
So religion was something that 

287
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,680
the devil never tempted him 
with. 

288
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,880
But what he did tempt him with 
is what Jesus was coming after, 

289
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,400
because the Bible says Jesus 
came to seek and to save that 

290
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,000
which was lost, not who was 
lost. 

291
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,680
See, we've changed the whole 
dialogue of the Bible to be 

292
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,160
about you. 
It includes you. 

293
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,600
But that which he came to seek 
and to save was the Kingdom to 

294
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,280
be restored back to those who 
choose to want it. 

295
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:30,280
Because even Jesus knew there's 
no guarantee they'll accept the 

296
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,160
position I I originally made for
them. 

297
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,720
And if they don't, they don't 
have to. 

298
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:44,560
Because I will not make them 
make me king, even though I am 

299
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:50,280
king nonetheless. 
They can choose because love 

300
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:57,120
lets you choose love lest you 
choose. 

301
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,640
And so Jesus came to save that 
which was lost, which was the 

302
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Kingdom of God. 
He shows him all the kingdoms in

303
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,360
a moment of time, and he says 
all these domains I'll give to 

304
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:12,240
you, for they have been handed 
over to me and I can give them 

305
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,760
to whomever I wish. 
The devil clearly communicates 

306
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,080
to Jesus. 
They were handed over to me. 

307
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,880
And you hear ministers say all 
the time that the devil stole 

308
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,560
it. 
The devil stole. 

309
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,840
The devil did not steal it. 
Adam abdicated his throne. 

310
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,360
He gave it away. 
He knew what he was doing. 

311
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:36,120
He chose to operate in 
rebellion, the most dangerous 

312
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:39,360
word in the Kingdom. 
Are you ready is independence? 

313
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,280
And this is a problem for the 
USA church because we like our 

314
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:57,480
U.S. government in our churches,
we have this independent spirit.

315
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,360
Nobody going to tell me what to 
do. 

316
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,280
Well, that doesn't work in His 
Kingdom. 

317
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,800
I said that doesn't work in his 
Kingdom. 

318
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,320
And this is very important 
because as many times as I've 

319
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,560
ministered on the Kingdom and I 
know of a lot of people who know

320
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:19,080
this, I can watch them slip away
in their day-to-day life of the 

321
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Lordship of Jesus, that doing 
his word is optional in their 

322
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,560
lives. 
Whether to forgive someone, 

323
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:39,560
whether to walk in joy and put 
down anger or you know, feelings

324
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:47,920
of low self esteem, picking up 
an offense yet you know, because

325
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,640
the king said. 
And yet if we don't watch out, 

326
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,440
we'll pull independence back in.
It's OK for us to come and 

327
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,240
worship and have an issue with 
our brother. 

328
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,200
It's OK for us to worship and 
have a challenge with someone. 

329
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,520
It's OK for us to tell somebody 
about themselves. 

330
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,880
Hallelujah, we fall away. 
But independence is the most 

331
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,920
dangerous word in the Kingdom. 
The second most dangerous word 

332
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320
in the Kingdom is rebellion. 
And the minute you want to be 

333
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,640
independent, you're going to 
rebel. 

334
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760
Now let me tell you what you do 
not lose in the Kingdom is your 

335
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,920
individuality. 
So do not mistake individuality 

336
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,440
with independence. 
Individuality. 

337
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,200
God is way too creative to make 
us the same. 

338
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,600
This is why when you look at the
church, it's going to look 

339
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,200
different. 
On the outside, it'd be easy for

340
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,600
it to look different, but on the
inside it's going to function 

341
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,080
the same. 
What do I mean by that? 

342
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Every spirit being within the 
vessel that carries it will be 

343
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,760
yielded, compliant with all 
their heart, to the voice of the

344
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,240
King, knowing he has absolute 
authority. 

345
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:01,080
They love that he has absolute 
authority because he's the only 

346
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,800
one who can carry that absolute 
authority without ever failing. 

347
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,080
And we're thankful that he 
carries it and he loves us. 

348
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,360
And he made a way for us to come
out of our rebellion, come out 

349
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:18,600
of our independent spirit, and 
become fully dependent on Him, 

350
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,680
where we are led by his Spirit 
as he was led by the same 

351
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Spirit. 
Jesus said, I don't do anything 

352
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,040
on my own initiative, but only 
what I hear from the. 

353
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,400
And if Jesus would never deviate
from what the Father says, why 

354
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:38,760
do we think we can? 
Because we want U.S. government 

355
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,440
in our church. 
Now, the Declaration of 

356
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,360
Independence was technically 
just a document to say we do not

357
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:53,000
want the oppressive, you know, 
rule that you have and it and it

358
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,160
really bowled out of taxation 
without representation, right? 

359
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:58,680
You know, basically exploiting 
us and you're not even here and 

360
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,640
we have no representation. 
So we're just going to do our 

361
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,880
own nation. 
It wasn't because we want to be 

362
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,200
independent of ourselves. 
This is why we coined the phrase

363
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:14,080
eventually the United States. 
But man, is there not a push to 

364
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,120
not be united anymore? 
Well, the minute you can bring 

365
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:23,280
division in a house, what will 
not? 

366
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,400
So there is an undercurrent in 
our own nation to divide us. 

367
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,560
And George Washington, when he 
was leaving his second term, as 

368
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,040
the president said 
prophetically, that he was 

369
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,560
concerned that our government 
would come to a two party 

370
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,440
platform and it would become so 
divisive that it would get 

371
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,400
nothing done. 
And the Republican and 

372
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Democratic Party weren't even 
around then. 

373
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,000
They were different parties at 
that time, but there were two 

374
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
specific that were at odds. 
And he said that if it came to 

375
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,360
that, it would turn around and 
and run the risk of the 

376
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:05,040
Republic. 
And ma'am, we are here today. 

377
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,560
I said we're here today. 
But I have to admit there is a 

378
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,960
group of people that are trying 
to become independents. 

379
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,320
But independent itself is 
dangerous. 

380
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800
Being an independent itself is 
dangerous. 

381
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,800
So God creates this earth with 
no one on it at first. 

382
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,000
But it was designed for man. 
I said it was designed for man. 

383
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,440
He wants to give man the rule of
the earth as he rules in heaven.

384
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720
And the devil says, I'll give 
you all this domain, for it's 

385
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,280
been handed over to me and I can
give it to whomever I want. 

386
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,080
Even the devil knows this is 
about a Kingdom. 

387
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:56,480
So he there are terms the devil 
are using today to try to squash

388
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,280
or hinder the revelation of the 
Kingdom of God to come to the 

389
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,400
church, especially in the United
States. 

390
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Because if you have the 
revelation of the Kingdom of 

391
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:13,640
God, which is not a subject, it 
is the Bible, then he knows your

392
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,320
faith will go to another level, 
your lordship goes to another 

393
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,280
level, all the blessings of the 
Kingdom go to another level, and

394
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,960
there's nothing he can do to 
stop you. 

395
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,640
That you'll recognize the 
position the church really has 

396
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080
in your life and what it means 
for you to be an actual 

397
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,640
ambassador. 
Are you hearing me? 

398
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,200
So the original inhabitants on 
planet earth were not of a 

399
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,520
different culture than heaven, 
but we're actually of the 

400
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,200
offspring of the king himself. 
Genesis 126 says then God said, 

401
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,520
let us make man in our image and
corner our likeness, and let 

402
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,560
them have what? 
Dominion over the fish of the 

403
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,240
sea, over the birds of the air, 
over the cattle, over all the 

404
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,440
earth, over every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth. 

405
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,200
He created man in his own image 
and the image of God. 

406
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
He created him, male and female,
He created them. 

407
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,120
Dominion means to govern. 
It means to rule, it means to 

408
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,280
control things, it means to 
manage, it means to master 

409
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,160
something, It means to have 
rulers. 

410
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,080
So notice he said, let them have
dominion over who? 

411
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:24,200
Fish, birds, cattle, earth. 
When we say earth, the things 

412
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,200
that are growing are associated 
with the earth specifically, and

413
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,960
then every creepy thing that 
creeps on the earth. 

414
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:36,080
Notice what man was not to have 
rule over other humans. 

415
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,440
This is why every election cycle
becomes a challenge for us 

416
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,920
'cause we really don't want to 
vote for somebody, some human, 

417
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,120
to be over us. 
Because God never intended for 

418
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:55,960
humans to be over humans, but 
that God would be over us as a 

419
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,400
people. 
Because again, the Kingdom that 

420
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:06,480
God has is not a Kingdom of 
slaves or servants, but a 

421
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,320
Kingdom where all of us that are
citizens are kings themselves. 

422
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,320
So when I look at you so well, 
hello king, right? 

423
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,520
And when you're king, guess 
what? 

424
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,360
You have all rule, all 
authority, all power over what? 

425
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Over yourself and then over the 
environment that is around you. 

426
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,720
It should not rule you. 
This is why you've heard us say 

427
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,520
before, after the fall of man, 
what man should have reigned 

428
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,040
over, started reigning over him.
Why are there so many humans 

429
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:46,720
addicted to plants? 
Tobacco leaves were never 

430
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,480
supposed to tell humans what to 
do. 

431
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,720
Cocaine was never supposed to 
tell humans what to do. 

432
00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,520
Marijuana was never supposed to 
dictate the behavior and actions

433
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,720
of humans. 
And when you become a child of 

434
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,280
the king, you'll say plant. 
You don't talk to me no more. 

435
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,600
Are you hearing me? 
When you get this revelation, 

436
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,080
you'll no longer allow plants to
dominate you. 

437
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,360
You won't even let grapes 
dominate you. 

438
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Grapes that get mixed with this 
thing called yeast and barley 

439
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,680
and ferments. 
You won't make it, won't control

440
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,840
your life. 
I'll say Amen anyway. 

441
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,280
Yeah. 
I mean again. 

442
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,720
Well, you know, I have to have. 
You have to have. 

443
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,600
No, you have to have the Lord. 
You have to have the spirit. 

444
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,320
That's what you have to have. 
And that's what you need. 

445
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,440
If you're having to have 
something else, then you're 

446
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:58,520
bowing your knee too. 
But you understand this escapes 

447
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,640
everyone's notice when all the 
Bible to them is about Jesus 

448
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,400
dying on the cross for your sins
so that when you die, you go to 

449
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,640
heaven. 
In fact, if we read the Bible 

450
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,040
and we'll see even see here in 
the beginning pages, I mean 

451
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,280
before sin even hits the planet,
God makes man in his image 

452
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,080
according to his likeness, both 
male and female. 

453
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,560
There we know their names are 
Adam and Eve. 

454
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,320
And guess what, Adam and Eve 
were not singing this song in 

455
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,360
heaven in in the earth. 
When we all get to heaven, what 

456
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,760
a day of rejoicing that will be.
They were not singing that song.

457
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,040
In fact, he's puts man in this 
garden. 

458
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,680
He says, Adam, you can eat from 
any tree of the garden. 

459
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,880
I mean, I've provided everything
for you. 

460
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,560
In fact, I expect that you're 
going to take my image that's in

461
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,080
you, and you're going to rule 
there as I rule here, as I speak

462
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800
to you of what to do. 
You do it in the earth. 

463
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,040
And whatever you say is what 
I've said, and it has to listen.

464
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,760
It will obey your voice. 
Are you hearing me? 

465
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,520
And he says you can have any 
fruit from any tree, but of the 

466
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,960
tree of the knowledge of good 
and evil, you shall not eat. 

467
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,640
For the day you eat you will, 
surely. 

468
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,800
So if Adam had never eaten the 
fruit, where would he be today? 

469
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,200
So Adam was not trying to go to 
heaven. 

470
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,520
And here's the kicker, God 
wasn't actually asking him to 

471
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:32,480
come, because God didn't have to
have Adam come to heaven to be 

472
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,360
with him. 
He came right down here. 

473
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,920
You know how many believers 
today that only know the think 

474
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,360
the Bible's about where am I 
going to go when I die or just 

475
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,080
waiting to go to heaven so bad. 
Yet if they read the Bible 

476
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,920
actually cover to cover, they 
realize God was constantly 

477
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,920
coming down. 
He's never been waiting on us, 

478
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,920
nor is he like can't wait till 
you get here. 

479
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,280
Oh my gosh, can't wait till you 
get here. 

480
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,640
Oh, can't wait till you get 
here. 

481
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,360
I just want you to be here with 
me. 

482
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,920
Are you seriously? 
Even after the fall, he comes 

483
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,720
down. 
He comes down to talks to Noah. 

484
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,160
He comes down to burning Bush 
with Abram, right he or to 

485
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,240
Moses. 
He comes down talks to Abram. 

486
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,320
He comes down in the temple. 
He comes down on the mountain. 

487
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,080
He comes down on the in the 
anointing upon prophets, priests

488
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,080
and kings. 
He comes down then we get Jesus.

489
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,000
His name is Emmanuel, which 
means God, not God, can't can't 

490
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,480
wait till you get to me. 
Emmanuel doesn't mean can't wait

491
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,760
till you get to me. 
He's constantly coming down. 

492
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Then the kicker, Jesus says, 
man, now that I've conquered 

493
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,280
death, hell in the grave and my 
blood's been poured all in the 

494
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,640
mercy seat in heaven, I'm 
leaving because he's coming and 

495
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,600
the Holy Ghost is going to live 
in you. 

496
00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:00,200
I'm bringing God to you. 
And we say. 

497
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:06,200
It greater is he that's in and 
we want to leave the earth. 

498
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Like we just can't wait to. 
Get up out of here. 

499
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,120
It's 'cause you don't know 
you're in a Kingdom, 'cause 

500
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,080
when. 
You know you're in a Kingdom. 

501
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,560
You're like, what can you do to 
me? 

502
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,840
I how's. 
God, I am the temple of the Holy

503
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,719
Spirit. 
I have a direct connection with 

504
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,280
God. 
You may take out world's 

505
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,360
communications, you may take out
satellites, you may lock up my 

506
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,760
iPad. 
You may shut down all my 

507
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,800
accounts. 
You may do all those things, but

508
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,840
you cannot shut down my 
connection with the Creator of 

509
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,080
heaven and earth. 
Can't do it. 

510
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,639
You. 
Can't shut down. 

511
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:56,000
The communication lines between 
me and the Kingdom I am of, and 

512
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,640
that Kingdom is in the earth and
you sure can't get rid of it. 

513
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,520
Amen. 
Hallelujah so. 

514
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,800
He's given us. 
Rulers, we are the most powerful

515
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,000
force on the planet. 
The thing I was. 

516
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,760
Most discouraged about this 
weekend was it was #1 is that 

517
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,520
when things were spoken from 
Scripture, the hearers from the 

518
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,880
majority took it hook, line and 
sinker. 

519
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,000
One person had the audacity to 
say this, that it's time for the

520
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,280
flock to rise up against the 
shepherds and lead them. 

521
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:38,800
Yes, and I said something out 
loud. 

522
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,400
I said that's. 
Nowhere in Scripture. 

523
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:49,240
My wife's, Like I said, there's 
nothing. 

524
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:53,760
There's nowhere in Scripture. 
Nowhere in Scripture. 

525
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,320
In fact, in one of God's with 
one of God's prophets, he's 

526
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,360
correcting his shepherds and 
he's telling them you getting 

527
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,400
fat off the flock, you're not 
feeding the flock like I told 

528
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,120
you, so I'm going to remove you.
He never said I'm raising up a 

529
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,760
flock. 
He said I will raise up another 

530
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,840
shepherd. 
Anytime. 

531
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Somebody thinks the Saints are 
supposed to rise up against the 

532
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,600
shepherds. 
That is the spirit of 

533
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Antichrist. 
Can Shepherds? 

534
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,840
Fail, yes, and we're hearing 
about a lot of them. 

535
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,720
But you understand, Saints fail 
all the time. 

536
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,120
And all those Saints run. 
To those pastors, ask for 

537
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,600
reconciliation, ask for 
forgiveness. 

538
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,720
Now I understand they're at a 
higher accountability. 

539
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,720
They need to be removed from 
their office. 

540
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,920
They need to go somewhere else 
and get restored. 

541
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,960
I have no problem with that. 
But to think a pastor cannot be 

542
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,520
restored as well, that's 
ludicrous. 

543
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200
The attack on the church. 
And its institution today, which

544
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:03,360
is not a religious thing unless 
you're building it, crazy little

545
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,640
thing. 
We're on the little back roads 

546
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,440
of Virginia when we were going 
to camp. 

547
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,080
And this little church has 
there's nothing wrong with the 

548
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
church. 
There's only something wrong 

549
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,640
with the church. 
There's nothing wrong with the 

550
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,880
church, God's building. 
There's only something wrong 

551
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,160
with the church. 
Man's building. 

552
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:23,760
And that's true because most 
pastors don't know Matthew 1618 

553
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,960
where Jesus said, and I will 
build my church. 

554
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,080
He never delegated the building 
of church to me, but I am an 

555
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,400
overseer that he put me in 
charge of this vision that Jesus

556
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,560
Christ put me here because of 
his blood. 

557
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,440
And the Holy Spirit made me 
overseer. 

558
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,040
And because of that, I'm going 
to run this vision by the 

559
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,280
leading of the Holy Ghost and 
let's all come together and do 

560
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,040
it. 
And it'd be amazing thing. 

561
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,760
Period only. 
One person can Take Me Out of 

562
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,560
the pulpit. 
Me. 

563
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,840
If I don't fail, I don't have to
go. 

564
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,320
Hallelujah. 
Neither do. 

565
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,760
You have to go if you're not 
failing now we none of us have 

566
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,640
to technically go. 
We can all be forgiven. 

567
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,120
But you know, my position is 
more open and failure is a 

568
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,760
problem, which that's why I have
the fear of the Lord. 

569
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,640
I'm more concerned about. 
God, than I am about you anyway.

570
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,040
Are you hearing me? 
But they're making these 

571
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,880
statements and they take it 
hook, line and sinker. 

572
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,920
And the one who made the 
statement actually just had an 

573
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,560
issue with the denomination they
were in because they didn't like

574
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,240
that he was actually standing 
for truth. 

575
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:41,520
And so the system of his 
religion pulled his credentials.

576
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,440
And so now he's developed this 
kind of life. 

577
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,920
Well. 
Just 'cause I mean you, maybe 

578
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,640
you shouldn't have been that 
organization anyway. 

579
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,000
Maybe you should have read 
enough scripture to realize, you

580
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,240
know, the organization in love 
itself wasn't the most 

581
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,680
healthiest one and releasing the
power of God. 

582
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,920
I mean, I've gone through 
denominations myself and for 

583
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,200
only one reason. 
Because the denomination I was 

584
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,280
raised in only taught Where do I
go when I die? 

585
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,480
It was the only. 
Truth and it was the truth Jesus

586
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,560
Christ died for my sins. 
His death, burial, resurrection 

587
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,800
is the only way that I'm to the 
can go to the Father. 

588
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:25,240
I must be born again taught me 
that I I could avoid damnation 

589
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,040
or the lake of fire. 
Those were truths but did not 

590
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,680
teach me how to overcome my 
flesh. 

591
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,640
Did not teach me the baptism of 
the Holy Ghost, Did not teach me

592
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640
about the authority of believer.
Didn't teach me any of those 

593
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,520
things. 
Didn't even touch the subjects. 

594
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,800
So when I got hungry for. 
God, God was obligated to meet 

595
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,280
my hunger. 
Because he will. 

596
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Feed the hungry. 
He loves those who hunger and 

597
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,120
thirst for his, which is his way
of doing things. 

598
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,240
And if the church that I was at 
wasn't teaching those things, as

599
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:01,000
Paul said, I've not withheld 
from you the full council of 

600
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,720
God. 
If they were not doing that, 

601
00:40:03,720 --> 00:40:06,120
then God's obligated to move me 
to the next thing. 

602
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,240
But He was really good the way 
He did it because He sure 

603
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,560
immersed me into places that 
would allow me to continue to 

604
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,720
grow properly. 
Are you hearing me? 

605
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,080
And so I moved to the next one, 
which then I found out about the

606
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,160
indubent of power from on high, 
the baptism of the Holy Ghost, 

607
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,320
this other experience with the 
Spirit of God that actually just

608
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,360
gave me the language of my 
Kingdom. 

609
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,800
You know, so many people get so 
freaked out about speaking in 

610
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,160
other tongues, but they get, 
they don't freak out over 

611
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,600
someone speaking in Spanish, 
German, Poland, Polish language 

612
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,480
or any other language when they 
encounter somebody in our In 

613
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,240
fact, my wife and I, we were at 
the airport in Washington and no

614
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:52,760
one that we spoke to, whether it
was at the ticket counter, at 

615
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:59,240
TSA, at a restaurant had an 
English accent. 

616
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,560
Everyone almost from another. 
Nation and some of them didn't 

617
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,920
even know how to really talk 
well. 

618
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,160
And I didn't freak out, nor did 
I freak out when I was hearing 

619
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,920
people speak other languages. 
But when you get to do with 

620
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,800
power from Ohio, you'll speak in
a new tongue. 

621
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,000
It's unknown to your mind, but 
God hears it. 

622
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,720
You know it's from the Spirit. 
You release it and you're 

623
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:23,160
praying out the perfect will of 
God. 

624
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,960
Man, I went to a church that 
taught me on the power of God 

625
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,560
and that and I received that 
truth and I've never been the 

626
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,760
same. 
Then God continue to progress. 

627
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,240
Me why? 
Cause of hunger and he's moved 

628
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:37,600
us into the Kingdom of God as 
well. 

629
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,000
A Kingdom is a government 
influence of a king over his 

630
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
territory, impacting it with his
personal will, purpose and 

631
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,120
intent. 
There's only one will that. 

632
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:53,680
Will remain his. 
Jesus's. 

633
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,960
Statement forces two things. 
Jesus says that forces you to 

634
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,880
change 'cause God is not 
changing. 

635
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,240
God is not a man that he should 
lie number one. 

636
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:09,200
Number two, and the Bible says 
God changes not. 

637
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,200
Why 'cause he's life. 
He is life. 

638
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,280
He is the source of life. 
His words are the source of 

639
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,440
life. 
For him to go against his word 

640
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,760
is death. 
This is why he. 

641
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:28,400
Doesn't This is why he doesn't 
do it, Because his words are 

642
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,160
life. 
Period. 

643
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:34,240
And so he's the embodiment of 
life. 

644
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Jesus made two statements. 
He said I am next word I am. 

645
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,440
I am way truth life. 
I am. 

646
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,200
What's that word? 
What's that word? 

647
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:54,200
The not a he doesn't say I am a 
way. 

648
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:59,840
I am my truth. 
I'm a life. 

649
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,840
He doesn't say that. 
The minute he says I am the way,

650
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,640
then he eradicates any other 
way. 

651
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,920
This is the thing with me and 
you know, people like you know, 

652
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,640
it's just so confusing. 
It's not confusing. 

653
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,480
It's not confusing because 
again, you've seen it before 

654
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,120
where you have the like the 
little points up here ABC and 

655
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,000
then there's 123 and there's 
like all these little scribbly 

656
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,880
things all and you got to figure
out, you know, does 2 connect 

657
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,320
with A or is it B or C? 
And you got to follow that whole

658
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,360
little yarn string, you know, 
and it's like all them, but with

659
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,280
God. 
He's over on this other side, 

660
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,320
right? 
He's got AK for Kingdom and he 

661
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,360
got, you know, one. 
He's the only way, right one and

662
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,960
and and there's no other string 
involved. 

663
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,320
It's just a straight line. 
And it's like, well, that's 

664
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,520
easy. 
This not. 

665
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,440
Complicated. 
Jesus eradicated every other 

666
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:55,000
thought when he says I am, the 
way, the truth, the life. 

667
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,280
There's no other way to the 
Father but I'm it. 

668
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,480
So again. 
Wide is the gate and that's why 

669
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,320
there's so many is why 'cause 
all the strings you. 

670
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,040
Don't know which. 
Way you going and you don't know

671
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,520
if you've crossed over or 
whatever, but he said narrow. 

672
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:19,040
It's just real straight path, 
not complicated, just straight, 

673
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,720
he said. 
But many want to get on all that

674
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:27,320
broad stuff instead of seeing 
the path that allows you to see 

675
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,080
straight to the end. 
Are you hearing me then He. 

676
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,960
Makes this statement repent for 
the Kingdom of heaven is a hand.

677
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:43,040
The word repent is not have a 
sorrowful emotional response of 

678
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,920
all your wrongdoing and say 
Jesus, I need you as my Lord. 

679
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,560
That is not repentance. 
We've made that word repentance 

680
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,280
into that kind of action. 
You need to come and repent. 

681
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,360
I've done wrong. 
Oh, God, I don't want a bird to 

682
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,720
go to hell. 
Thank you. 

683
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,720
Thank you for saving me. 
Right. 

684
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:15,120
But then they don't change. 
They leave the altar and live 

685
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,720
the same way. 
And then drinking, boozing, 

686
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,680
fornicating, adultery, whatever 
they're doing, living like the 

687
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,040
rest of the world, talking like 
the rest of the world. 

688
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,800
But in all those moments, say, 
yeah, I ask Jesus, come on, I'm 

689
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,280
a believer. 
I'm going to heaven when I die. 

690
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,840
Because we've said. 
Repentance as this emotional, 

691
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,080
sorrowful moment. 
In essence, I would say this. 

692
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,560
We have defined repentance. 
With a with a. 

693
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,040
A context of Esau. 
Esau gave up his. 

694
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,320
Birthright sold it. 
He gave, he gave all that stuff 

695
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,080
up. 
He just wanted the blessing. 

696
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,600
So when Dad gave the blessing to
his oldest brother, he's crying,

697
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,920
sobbing. 
Where's my blessing? 

698
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,720
And I want to go too. 
Because I'm not I'm. 

699
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:13,880
Sorry I missed out on the 
benefits, but as far as a change

700
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:20,560
of action, that ain't me. 
And he says Esau sought for 

701
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,560
repentance even in tears, but 
could not find it. 

702
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,080
Jesus said repent which means 
this change your thinking. 

703
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,760
So Jesus is very. 
Clear your your mind's messed 

704
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,480
up. 
Your thinking's off. 

705
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,680
See, there's a way that seems 
right to a man, but in the end 

706
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,040
lies. 
He says that thinking's wrong. 

707
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,160
Now here's the problem. 
You'll never think better until 

708
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:54,120
your spirit is new. 
You'll never think better till. 

709
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,480
Your spirit is new, your 
spirit's been made alive. 

710
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,720
So Jesus says I'm going to do 
the thing you can't do. 

711
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,840
I'm going to die for your 
transgression because your 

712
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,800
spirit man is dead and separated
from me. 

713
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,240
For all have what sin and fallen
short of the glory of God. 

714
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,040
I'll take that on if you'll call
me Lord. 

715
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,200
We love to call him. 
Savior but. 

716
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,920
That's calling. 
Him Savior doesn't get you 

717
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,160
saved. 
Lordship is what gets you saved.

718
00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:25,840
Are you hearing me? 
Lordship is what it gets you 

719
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,640
saved. 
Lordship it means, and it's not 

720
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,840
even a religious word. 
It means supreme in authority. 

721
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:39,280
It is supreme in authority. 
In our natural government, we 

722
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,000
have the highest court. 
It's called the Supreme Court, 

723
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,880
and when they lay down a ruling,
it becomes the supreme. 

724
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,600
There is no appeal beyond it. 
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

725
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,120
There is no appeal beyond it is 
the supreme authority of that 

726
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,400
case. 
Well, good news. 

727
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,440
There's a court above the 
Supreme Court in. 

728
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,560
Our nation. 
'Cause we're a holy nation, we 

729
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,760
are peculiar people and it is 
the throne room of God. 

730
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,480
It's the throne of grace. 
Are you hearing me? 

731
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,440
So we can make an appeal to the 
highest of High Courts and get 

732
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:25,160
his word on the matter and his 
word will always come to pass. 

733
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,800
Always. 
It never fails. 

734
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,800
Are you hearing me? 
So Jesus, when he says you're 

735
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,480
going to call on me to be Lord, 
you have to have him as supreme 

736
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,240
in authority. 
This is not a religious 

737
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:42,040
exercise. 
To make Him Lord means I laid 

738
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,680
down my life and the life I live
now. 

739
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,440
I live completely at the 
submission to your will for my 

740
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:50,840
life. 
And why do we do it? 

741
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,960
Because number one, He loved us 
and He made he met every 

742
00:48:54,960 --> 00:49:00,320
condition necessary so that we 
could voluntarily accept Him as 

743
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,640
our Lord and yield to His 
Lordship. 

744
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,440
And then he makes us in His 
image. 

745
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,320
He crowns us as King. 
He gives us back dominion. 

746
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,240
He puts authority back on our 
life. 

747
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,080
He allows us to rule and reign 
in this life and the one to 

748
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,800
come. 
Wow, what an awesome deal. 

749
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,000
Not just man you just man. 
You got to hold on bro. 

750
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:28,600
Jesus like, hold on. 
Stuff down there, man. 

751
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,560
Stuff did. 
Jesus say it was tough. 

752
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,360
Down here, sure he did. 
He said it this way, though. 

753
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:39,080
In this life you're going to 
have trials and tribulation, and

754
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,680
most believers stop there. 
Oh, it's been hard, It's been 

755
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,600
hard. 
Devil's after me. 

756
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:43,680
It's hard, man. 
It's hard down here. 

757
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,400
It's tough, it's tough. 
I can't wait to go to heaven. 

758
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,400
I keep reading the verse. 
I say keep reading the verse. 

759
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:54,840
Quit stopping at the verse in 
the verse where it meets your 

760
00:49:54,840 --> 00:50:00,760
emotional feeling. 
Keep reading. 

761
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,000
And get in faith, he said. 
In this life you going to have 

762
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,240
trials and tribulation. 
But come on, say. 

763
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:14,880
But. 
But be of good tears doesn't say

764
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,080
that doesn't say for you to be 
crying the whole time. 

765
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,360
It's hard I. 
Mean how can you even? 

766
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,840
Identify as being a victim. 
Because we've all been a. 

767
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,720
Victim of something, but he 
tells us to identify with 

768
00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:35,280
victory, with cheer. 
He said be of good cheer. 

769
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,840
Then he tells you why you can 
laugh, have joy, be excited. 

770
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,680
Joy's not temporary. 
You can have it anytime. 

771
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,320
You can pull it in, as it was 
said by the Spirit of the Lord 

772
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,880
this morning. 
I can pull it in now. 

773
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,760
I can pull it in now. 
I mean, sometimes I wish the 

774
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,480
Lord would allow me to come by 
and slap you in the face. 

775
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,720
I do. 
And slap that dead look off your

776
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:03,640
face. 
I mean when you're in this. 

777
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,600
Kind of environment, knowing 
what the king does and the best 

778
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,640
you can do is. 
I'm like, where's? 

779
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,160
Joy. 
Can we not slap some joy on? 

780
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,360
I mean, how hard is? 
This to get excited about what 

781
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,600
Jesus did for you. 
I mean, it's kind of crazy now, 

782
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,680
at the end of the day, there 
have been like the healing 

783
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,120
revivals where, you know, people
had tumors and they're like, 

784
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:32,960
punch them and they punched in 
the tumor. 

785
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,840
I wish the Lord would say just 
slap happy on them. 

786
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,280
Damn. 
And then they just fall out 

787
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,160
laughing and get all excited, 
right? 

788
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,880
Like, get happy, get excited, 
man. 

789
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,280
God loves you. 
He died for you. 

790
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,360
He's giving you the ability to 
reign. 

791
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,680
He's giving you his Kingdom that
cannot be shaken. 

792
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,400
He said man have. 
Your what can man do to you 

793
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,960
people stressing over an 
election. 

794
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,360
I mean, all they're doing is 
talking about it. 

795
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,680
If we don't elect this one, 
we're going to lose our whole 

796
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,320
country. 
Well, listen, all the countries 

797
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,760
are being lost because the 
kingdom's the only one that's 

798
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,440
going to stay. 
Now, I'm not saying don't do 

799
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,880
your responsibility. 
And it's better when we're in 

800
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,400
peace because the gospel can go 
further in peace. 

801
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,960
However, I don't care how it 
turns out. 

802
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,800
At the end of the day. 
They can never dethrone my king.

803
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,040
He was not voted in power. 
He can't be voted out of power. 

804
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,720
You can't kill his other kings. 
You can't suppress his book. 

805
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,200
You can do none of those things 
to stop him. 

806
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:48,120
We are in an unstoppable force. 
I wish they'd let me. 

807
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:53,280
Preach at one of these little 
things one day, 'cause at the 

808
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,040
end of the day man, let's get 
out of mamby pamby Christianity.

809
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:01,680
Let's become citizens that are 
locked and united together, 

810
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,760
changing communities together 
because we look like God. 

811
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,760
We don't see as man sees on the 
outward appearance, we look at 

812
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:15,240
the heart. 
Hallelujah. 

813
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,080
Amen. 
The Lord's good. 

814
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,600
I'm it's going to be like a 
series now. 

815
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,840
My creative guy's like, really? 
Yeah, why not? 

816
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,720
Let's just preach this thing for
a little while. 

817
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,160
Let me. 
Close with this thought and then

818
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:34,200
we'll come back to it next week 
and Genesis 3, as you know. 

819
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,400
The fall of Man. 
Most people preach the Bible 

820
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:44,640
from Genesis chapter 3 to 
Revelations chapter 20, and 

821
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:45,960
it's. 
Called the Fall of Man. 

822
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:50,240
They do not deal with how man 
existed in Genesis one and two, 

823
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,640
which was a totally different 
existence, nor did they deal 

824
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,720
with man's existence from 
Revelations 21 and 22. 

825
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,640
Most Christians today would be 
shocked if you went to them and 

826
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,920
said said to them you. 
Know we're not. 

827
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,080
Going to be in heaven forever. 
They would be. 

828
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,840
Shocked at that statement, 
however, the Bible clearly 

829
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:20,800
communicates that there's a new 
heaven and new Why are. 

830
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,160
We making a new. 
Planet. 

831
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,320
Why? 
Is the new Jerusalem coming down

832
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:33,440
out of heaven to the. 
Our modern day US. 

833
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,640
Christianity has abandoned the 
earth. 

834
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,720
Yet God is going to live. 
Here. 

835
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,560
Going to set up his. 
Full blown throne and 

836
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:53,080
administration here. 
Now again. 

837
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,960
Am I saying that you're not 
going to heaven? 

838
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,760
Absolutely. 
The Bible is very clear to be 

839
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,560
absent from the body. 
You'll be what present. 

840
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,200
With the Lord, where is. 
The Lord presently at He's in 

841
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,520
heaven, but is he staying there?
He is not. 

842
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,400
You know what? 
Most believers would be shocked 

843
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,240
at this statement because they 
think when they die, they'll 

844
00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:17,000
never see sin again. 
Now it's true they won't 

845
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:22,160
participate in it. 
But they'll see it again. 

846
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,080
Because after the catching away 
of the church, Jesus Christ will

847
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,400
come back, put his foot down in 
the earth, and reign for 1000 

848
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,760
years on a planet without the 
devil's influence. 

849
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,880
For 1000. 
Years where there will be humans

850
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:45,040
that are still in the lost state
and we will reign with him on 

851
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,920
the planet as his judges in 
different territories. 

852
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,200
This is. 
Why it's so important for us to 

853
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,840
understand the Kingdom? 
Because most believers are only 

854
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,120
thinking about going to heaven, 
receiving a reward that they 

855
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,760
have no context of what that 
actually even means. 

856
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,120
They think, apparently, that 
they're going to retire. 

857
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,800
And that angels are going. 
To swing through and drop grapes

858
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,240
in their mouth because they're 
fat and naked anyway, like 

859
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:25,760
little babies, right? 
Yet the Lord's life, when he 

860
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,200
rewards you, he's going to say, 
this is what you're going to do 

861
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,680
for me in the millennial reign. 
What we're doing now is the 

862
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:39,640
resume for the next Earth. 
Are you hearing me? 

863
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:46,000
But he says to man. 
You can eat from any tree of 

864
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,680
the. 
Garden, but of the tree of the 

865
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,800
knowledge of good and evil you 
shall not eat, for the day you 

866
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,040
eat you will surely and. 
Many people ask. 

867
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,000
Me. 
Why did God do that if he knew 

868
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,840
he was going to eat the fruit? 
Why? 

869
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,040
Well, I'll tell. 
You why? 

870
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,480
Because there's no way for God 
to know you love him. 

871
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:08,800
Unless you are given a. 
Choice. 

872
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,000
Jesus. 
Defines our love for God and it 

873
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:18,480
is not the US Christianity 
definition the US Christianity 

874
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,960
definition of love is we accept 
you just as you are that's. 

875
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,080
Good. 
We love you, don't matter what. 

876
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:26,880
You've done. 
We love you. 

877
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,760
That is not biblical definition 
of love. 

878
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:36,400
It's not because God does not 
love us in our current state, in

879
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,320
this context, that He's 
accepting us. 

880
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,000
Because if he accepted us in 
our. 

881
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,440
Current state. 
Then there would be no reason 

882
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,960
for us to be born again. 
Nor would there be in a. 

883
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:52,440
Requirement for blood. 
I don't have time to teach. 

884
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,720
On the subject of love though, I
will again this year on a Sunday

885
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,360
and I will release it because 
for those that you know, we've 

886
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,440
gone through this detail and 
most do not know what we know 

887
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,920
concerning it. 
We did not release that series 

888
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,880
at that time, but the next time 
we will, OK. 

889
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:20,360
And so Jesus met every condition
you have fallen into so that you

890
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:21,840
can. 
Come out of. 

891
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:27,360
By making him Lord. 
But you have to choose so when 

892
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,960
God says you can eat from any 
tree of the garden, because here

893
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,080
I've made Adam in my image from 
my breath. 

894
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,920
He is a living being. 
He's of my nature. 

895
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,880
Well God is love. 
The Bible tells us this in first

896
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,880
John that God is love, not that 
he knows love, but that he is 

897
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,560
love. 
So if he came from the nature of

898
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,320
God, then Adam himself must be 
of the nature of love. 

899
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,840
However, how does God know that 
Adam loves him? 

900
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,240
He must do his word. 
Jesus said this in John 15. 

901
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:01,960
He says if conditional 
statement, if you love me, he 

902
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:13,340
did not say you'll tell me, he 
said you'll keep my word. 

903
00:59:15,780 --> 00:59:19,980
This is why. 
I know that there's problems 

904
00:59:19,980 --> 00:59:24,380
within our Christian community 
in the earth because we are 

905
00:59:24,380 --> 00:59:30,340
bringing our independent 
thinking, Democrat, democratic 

906
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:35,560
democracy I. 
Get to do what I want to do. 

907
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,960
I have the freedom to. 
Do what I want to do mentality 

908
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,000
into the church. 
Well, that may be good for you. 

909
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,440
You can do what you want to do 
with God, but I'm going to God 

910
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,640
does not have a different 
standard for his children. 

911
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,320
And if you're born of his 
nature, then it's. 

912
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:55,920
Easy for you to say, I love 
doing God because His word is 

913
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,080
life. 
And I'm going to demonstrate 

914
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,600
that I love you because I keep 
your word. 

915
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:07,760
I keep your word. 
So the fall of man was not a 

916
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,920
fall from heaven, it was a fall 
from dominion. 

917
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,320
So the purpose? 
And goal. 

918
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,200
Of God's redemptive plan is to 
restore mankind back to God's 

919
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,680
original plan, the restoration. 
Of God's King's. 

920
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,840
Dominion to Earth is God's 
ultimate goal. 

921
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,280
Adam lost a Kingdom, not a 
religion, and therefore the 

922
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,800
redemptive work of the Creator 
would be the re establishment of

923
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:39,800
his Kingdom on the earth. 
This is why Jesus only said one 

924
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:44,160
time after. 
Midnight to a. 

925
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:51,400
Religious man named nicodemus in
John chapter 3 in context to the

926
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:56,040
Kingdom when nicodemus. 
A religious leader. 

927
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,960
That had access to the scrolls, 
the Torah, the first five books 

928
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:05,840
of Moses, the prophets, the 
minor prophets, Psalms, all 

929
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,320
those books. 
And then he looks at you and 

930
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:14,400
says you've got to be from God 
because of the works that you're

931
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:19,040
doing. 
And Jesus said unless to a man 

932
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:23,280
privately, only time he did it. 
To a man privately. 

933
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:32,200
Unless you are born again, you 
will not see the Kingdom, he 

934
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:32,960
said. 
Unless you're born. 

935
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,560
Again, you cannot. 
Enter the Kingdom of God. 

936
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:41,520
We emphasize born again. 
But Jesus's ministry emphasized 

937
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,360
the Kingdom. 
And if we would emphasize the 

938
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,680
Kingdom, then people would say, 
well, how do I get your Kingdom?

939
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,000
And we would be able to say, 
well man, you just got to be 

940
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,480
born again. 
You got to be born from our 

941
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,920
country, unlike nations that 
will allow you into their 

942
01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:01,880
country through paying, taking 
tests and giving you citizenship

943
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:08,400
of your own merit. 
This Kingdom of God you must. 

944
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:13,680
Become a citizen of it by 
birthright, which is why 

945
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:14,960
Nicodemus. 
Says this is. 

946
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,360
Confusing. 
How can I get back in my mom's 

947
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,520
womb as a grown man and be born 
again? 

948
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,040
He says. 
You're thinking natural. 

949
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:26,400
This is spiritual. 
You must be a. 

950
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:31,360
Natural born or we would say 
supernatural born citizen of his

951
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,800
Kingdom because a better 
translation actually is you must

952
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:40,840
be born from above. 
Everywhere else, Jesus said the 

953
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,760
Kingdom of heaven is like. 
This and the Kingdom of God is 

954
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,400
like that, and the Kingdom of 
heaven is like this and the 

955
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:45,760
Kingdom of God. 
Let me tell you what the Kingdom

956
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,840
of God would be compared to. 
Why is he saying this? 

957
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,320
Because you need to repent for 
the Kingdom is at hand. 

958
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:58,840
Jesus came to re establish his 
Kingdom realm to us so that we 

959
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,880
don't have to wait to rule and 
reign. 

960
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,200
We get to participate in it now.
And when we do, guess what? 

961
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:10,280
It's easy for us to transform 
our communities because we get 

962
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:14,240
to receive from the home country
as ambassadors all resources 

963
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,760
necessary to influence the world
with His Kingdom. 

964
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,440
Heaven is not what we're here to
gain. 

965
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:31,960
Dominion. 
And once you get Dominion, then 

966
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,760
heaven. 
And earth is easy, I said Heaven

967
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,200
and earth is easy. 
Once you gain dominion, Heaven 

968
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,080
and earth is easy because then 
you'll be able to pray to your 

969
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:47,600
Father like Jesus said Our 
Father whose father who art in 

970
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,200
heaven. 
Hallowed be your. 

971
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:56,680
Name your what Kingdom come your
will be done on as it is. 

972
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,800
You're not missing out on 
anything. 

973
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:11,400
In fact, you are the greatest 
liberators to the planet today. 

974
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:19,680
And this planet needs you. 
To rise up as a king, a citizen 

975
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:24,680
and an ambassador for the king 
and show them heaven. 

976
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,240
On Earth through your. 
Life your behavior and through 

977
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,000
your demonstrations by his 
power. 

978
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,320
That's why it's so. 
Important for us to know the 

979
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,320
Kingdom. 
And the king who's returning. 

980
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:41,520
And when the king comes, it's 
not optional to do what he says.

981
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:49,040
He's life and our King. 
Says unless a man. 

982
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,440
'S born again. 
He shall not see the Kingdom. 

983
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,160
You need to be born again. 
Let's pray.
