I want to talk to you about. World Peace today, World Peace.
It is what people want, Amen. And it is obtainable.
If you're in the right. Kingdom.
Amen. So turn.
Over to John chapter 16, verse 33.
Hallelujah, we are going to press.
Past. The stuffing today.
Amen. How?
Many you want to press past the. Stuffing today, praise the Lord
Jesus you know he went into some places and found that man he was
having some challenges ministering certain things so he
said man, I'm just going to teach and you know the.
Environment at the at. Churches are solely dependent,
not solely, but there is a dependency on it, on
expectation. Now the gifts can get in
operation despite you because they as the Spirit wills.
But the reason why the gifts get in operation is to build
expectation. Teaching is to build expectation
too, because when expectation is built, then all of a sudden
things can increase. And so, you know, we want to
have expectation. That's why hope's very
important. It's confident expectation.
All right. I, I, I never care a whole lot.
Because I'm not really a teacher, I'm apartment to teach.
The anointing in my life that God's placed on me as a gift
allows me to be able to step over in and teach.
Most of the time when people see my sermons or hear them, they
assume I'm a teacher just because I use so much scripture.
But the reality is it's of the. Fivefold offices.
It's the least. One that I tap into.
However, you know, at times we must because it's required to
build expectation. Amen.
Now when I received. This word, it was way more
exciting to me than the environment I'm in right now.
Amen. So I endeavor to believe we'll
get there, Praise the Lord. These things it says in John
1633. These are shouting.
Words right here. These things I've spoken to you
so that in me you may have have what in the world?
You'll have tribulation, but take.
Courage I have. Overcome the world.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Amen. So in order to obtain World
Peace, we're going to have to. Think different.
Amen. Because he says now in me you
have peace in Christ that's in the king or in the Kingdom.
So there is a world you can tap into that has World Peace.
However, in this world, on planet Earth, in the systems
that are functioning today, he says.
You're going to have trials and tribulations.
You're going to have them. But take courage, he says.
Take courage because I've overcome.
Them I've overcome the world. Hallelujah.
Our king is the victor, I said. Our king is the victor.
The amplified reads it this way, he said.
I've told you these things so that in me you may have perfect
peace in the world. You have tribulation and
distress and suffering. But be courageous, Be confident.
Be undaunted. Be.
Filled with joy, I have overcome the world.
My conquest is accomplished, my victory abiding.
Man, that's pretty powerful. Hallelujah.
What encouraging words for us to have in the world today, the
amplified classic concerning I've overcome the world goes on
to expound and say it this way. I have deprived it of power to
harm you and have conquered it for you.
I have deprived it of power to harm you and have.
Conquered it for you. Hallelujah Brandon.
Text me during. Worship, he said.
How would you worship? If if the king was here, how
would you worship? He said because the.
King is coming. What would you look?
Like if the king was in the room.
What would he, what would you look like if you say, you know?
I'm almost convinced that with some believers today, they're
not going to have a revelation of Jesus anymore.
Till they see him again. Because in this world.
There's trouble. And if we?
Don't watch out. We focus on the trouble so much
that we lose our joy. We lose our ability to be on
undaunted, courageous. And you can tell it in attitude.
You can tell it in the way people handled themselves.
You can tell it in the way they come and worship before their.
King, you can tell it. Because and again, you know
people, you know, I get it. We struggle because we don't
want to be told what to do. But again, we're not telling you
what to do. We're letting you know what the
Bible says, how you can function that will release the things of
God in your life. Again, you can tell me about a
banana, but until I see that fruit meaning a banana is a
banana and and you don't reap any benefit till you hold it,
peel it. And eat it.
Now I can describe it to anyone, but there's no benefit to them
of the the banana till they receive it and enjoy its fruit.
God never intended for us to just talk about it.
We should be an example of the fruit of God through our people
should taste and see through our lives that he's good.
So you bring the fruit of the spirit with you today that
people around you to say, wow, I'm going to.
I'm tasting joy because it's coming up.
In you right now I. See it.
I can taste it in your life. I can see it on your
countenance. I can see perfect peace in your
life. I can see long-suffering
function in you. I can see self-control
happening. I can see kindness show up.
I can see goodness manifest. And you're tasting it from the
person sitting beside you, because they manifest.
It Amen. The fragrance of these fruits.
But in this world, man, he says, look man, I have overcome and
I've deprived him of its power to harm you.
I have conquered it for you. Now turn over to John chapter
17. John chapter 17, verses 13 to
20. Hallelujah.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
He said, But now I come to you, this is Jesus speaking, and
these things I speak in the world so that they may.
Have my what joy made full in themselves.
So he's talking. About it in the current planet
you're living, but the systems of things that come against you
he says verse 14 he says I have given them your So if you're
going to have perfect peace you're going to have World Peace
then you have. To stay in the Kingdom.
And in order to stay in the Kingdom, you got to.
Abide in His word. But you can't abide in his word.
Biden in his in his word, is not reading his word alone.
It is reading his word for the purpose of applying that word
and functioning and causing that word to function and produce the
fruit of that word in your life. Because when you do that, you
can walk in perfect peace in the midst of storms, he said.
I've given you, given them your word, and the world has, because
they are not of this, not of the world, even as I.
Am not of the world. He goes, I do not ask you to
take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, even even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth, man.
Look at verse 18. As You sent me into the world, I
also have sent them into the world.
For their sake I sanctify myself that they themselves also may be
what sanctified that means set apart in truth.
I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who
believe in me through their word.
Are you one of those who believe?
Are you one of those who believe and aren't you glad that they as
moved as the Holy Spirit moved upon them, pinned the things
that we read concerning the Scripture and it's caused faith
to rise up in us. We believe and we have also now
experienced we have the same spirit of faith.
We are stepped out into the Kingdom of God.
We've made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives because of what
they've spoken to us through a. Testimony.
Aren't you glad for that? Now let's go back and look at
this passage of scriptures and break it down just a little bit.
And notice that Jesus has this acknowledgement that they're in
a world they're not of. And we must view ourselves that
way because as long as we view ourselves as we are part of this
world, then we will not have World Peace.
Now we do try to obtain World Peace because in order to be at
peace with the world. Look at verse 14.
It tells us he said I've given them your and the world has Why
does the world hate them because they have his word.
So if you want to get at peace with the.
World let go of his. Word, which is why we have this
epidemic within the church that most people are not reading the
word and This is why they seem to navigate relatively peaceful
in this world. In order for you to live at
peace with the world, you'll have to abandon the word.
But now that means you're. Abandoning your nature now the.
World loves its own, but you understand the love they have
for each other is not like the love of God, because they love
you as long as they can use you as long as you.
Benefit them. Right.
I mean, there's no genuine. Affection.
It's all about self. OK, the lust of the flesh, the
lust of the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, but it's all
underneath this word called love that the world uses.
All right. However, when you have the word,
the world is going to hate you and you must be comfortable with
that. I said.
You must be. Comfortable with that?
Because God is saying, listen, it's the word that separates us
from the world. And if you're going to have my
peace or perfect peace, or you're going to have World
Peace, mean Kingdom peace, then you're going to have to abide in
his word. And he then reminds us, Now
listen, he says, they're not of the world as I'm.
Not of the world, because. Was Jesus a man of the Word?
Well, he is the Word. Is he not Hallelujah?
And he says, I'm not I, I'm not subject to this world system.
I don't do it that way. The the things that the enemy
does, the darkness that he has, I have no part of that and he
has no part in me. Jesus is light and the devil is
darkness and they are complete opposites.
All right. Then he goes on to say the power
of being able to have World Peace in our Kingdom.
He says do not, I do not ask you to take them out of the world.
So the word, the Lord's goal is not to fast track you to heaven.
The goal is just for you to remember what world you are.
Of and to abide there. Right, and if you will abide
with the word, then guess what the the Father will will keep
you from the evil one. Now that doesn't mean the evil
one will not show up on occasions.
And when I say that for many people, many Saints, honestly,
he probably never shows up in their life because he doesn't
have time. He's not taking time to deal
with every individual on the planet because most offer no
threat to his. Kingdom to his domain.
Again, when you when you still are having to deal with your own
flesh and it's conquering you and you haven't renewed your
mind to overcome the flesh. The devil does not have to show
up at your house because he is not omnipotent.
He doesn't know what you're doing.
He's we have placed the devil almost like an equality with
God, like he's all he doesn't even know that you exist unless
he shows up around you and he has no idea what you did last
week unless he was in your presence because he doesn't
function. That way.
Now God, that's a different. Story he knows.
The sum total of all that you would do before he even showed
up, your existence doesn't does. It is not required for God to
know everything about you, but the devil has to get around you,
or he has to get his spirits, those that are in his domain, to
come around you to find out anything about you to be able to
use it. Against you, all right.
But he says to keep you from the evil. 1 Then he says, verse 16
again, they are not of the world, even as I'm not of the
world. And what causes us not to be of
the world? Verse 17 Sanctify them in the
truth. Your word is is.
Truth. I said your word is.
Truth. Hallelujah.
So then he. Goes on and says, now listen,
they're going to be in the world, but they can't go into
the world any way they. Want they cannot.
Go in the world any way they want.
How do they go into the world then, that they're not of verse
18 as say, as as you. This is the Father as the
Father. Sent Jesus into the world.
I also have sent. Them into the world same way.
And and the Father has sent him into the world #1 full of power
with the Holy Ghost. Aren't you glad?
We have the Holy Ghost in US. Aren't you glad he's?
In US, and He can come upon us and we have His.
Power. Amen.
But. We also see how Jesus functioned
in the planet verse 19. He sanctified himself.
That means he set himself apart unto the Lord through truth or
the Word. He kept his mind set on the
Word. He let the word be the only
thing that navigated his choices.
And decisions and rule. His emotions, Hallelujah.
He always responded to situations through it is
written. He didn't hold his opinion on
the matter. He was like, Father, how do you
want me to address this situation and how he went into
the world doing that? He has sent us to be able to do
it as well because we have been given the Holy Spirit.
Amen. Now, with that being said, in
this world, we're going to have trials.
And tribulations there's going. To be problems.
Going to be conflict. There's world challenges, world
issues, world troubles. We have a transition right now
with our own government. There's a lot of stuff happening
over in the Middle East today. There's a lot of prophecies out
there, a lot of people trying to determine, you know, when the
return. Of the King.
Is and it's imminent. He is coming, I said.
The. King is coming.
In fact, this Sunday, most, most churches, a lot of churches are
celebrating the first Sunday of Advent.
Advent it means. The coming.
Of the Lord and the first couple of Sundays is to be focused on
the. Return of our king.
He's coming when he. Breaks through the clouds he's
going to come and set up his Kingdom at another time on the
planet so the first 2 are celebrate that then the last two
that goes up to Christmas then begins to reflect back of how he
came into the earth as a child to humanity and place us back in
the. Dominion that God originally
intended for us. Amen.
So the King is coming, and we've never been closer than we are.
Today, and it's very. Likely that it could happen in
your. Lifetime.
Amen. Now I know.
People have said that before. Even Paul believed that Jesus
would return in his lifetime. But somebody's right, 123123123
So since we're the closest, we might as well continue the
belief that he'll come in our lifetime, because if you do not.
Hold that then your existence. On the earth may not have the
effect it should. Have Hallelujah man, the King is
coming. And as much as that's going and
with all that's going on in the. World.
He. Said you can have peace because
I've overcome it. So I'm going to.
Leave you today with some scriptures to remind you that he
has overcome it. Let's look at this first one
here in Exodus. Oh my goodness.
The Lord shall reign forever and ever because He's overcome the
world. The Lord shall reign forever.
How long? Come on?
How long? How long is he going to reign
forever? Praise the Lord Psalms 146.
Verse 10. Psalms 146 verse. 10.
The Lord will reign forever your God, O Zion to all generations.
Praise the Lord. Now, Zion obviously is over in
Jerusalem, but yet scholars believe that the reference of
Zion also refers to the church we know.
Ultimately, there'll be a new. Heaven and a new earth.
And the Lord will reign forever. He'll reign forever, and I use
these first because most believe as believers that the Lord will.
Reign and yes, there. Is a coming reigning of the
Lord. There is a coming reigning of
the Lord where He will come and be physically present on the
planet. That is true, but there are some
things that he reigns. Now Amen.
Let's look at Psalms 47, Eight says God reigns over the
nation's. God sits on his holy throne.
Come on, can you get a mental? Picture with me right now.
Jesus currently is seated on a throne in heaven at the right
hand of the Father. He's seated, in fact, the Bible
tells us concerning his Father that he sits in the heavens and
laughs at all that the nations are doing because he knows I
reign. All your plans, all your ways of
doing things, all your ways of trying to kick me off the throne
will have no effect, will not work.
I am seated on the throne. I reign and God reigns where
over the nations. Well, what nations does he rule
over? All of them.
Ultimately there we call them superpowers.
There's your superpower. This is the superpower.
God reigns over the nations. God reigns over the nations.
Now again what do we do? People tend to think, well if
God is reigning, they use this word, then control.
Well God's in control of the nation.
No, he's not controlling those nation he rules over.
Them. And he will.
Allow man to do what man wants to do in his rebellion, and he
does this for. Season, and it is mercy.
Because he's giving them. He's long-suffering to give them
an opportunity to repent, to change, but ultimately he will
judge. Them and there's no.
Blood that has ever been or ever will be spilled on the planet
that the great Judge will not account.
For. There is no such thing as
injustice in the Kingdom. Of God, Hallelujah, nor on.
Planet Earth as regard to God, because God will cause all.
Things to come into judgment. Amen.
So he reigns over the nation. He sits on his holy throne.
Psalms 99.1. The Lord reigns.
The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble.
He is enthroned above the cherubim.
Let the earth shake. You know, we do a lot of
preaching concerning the salvation of man, and man needs
to be saved. Do a lot of preaching on the
Lamb that was slain and the Lamb was slain for the sins of all
humanity, but very few are aware of his reign and there is no
blind eye to God. He can be the Lamb, Lamb without
blemish because He is righteous and just.
In fact, one Scripture, and I don't believe I have it in this
particular service today, but the foundation of His throne is
righteousness and justice. It's the foundation.
The more we understand His reigning power, the opportunity
for the fear of the Lord is more ever present within us, because
when we only conclude He saved me, we don't always value that
properly and our lifestyles sometimes become a reflection of
that. Psalms 97.1 The Lord reigns.
You see the theme here. Let the earth rejoice.
Let the many islands be glad you know what?
All the earth is. Crying out for its own
redemption, every piece of land cannot wait for the King to come
back. Hallelujah.
I wonder if the earth has an expectation of the king.
More than we do. I wonder if the dirt that
doesn't have the spirit of man in it has more of an
expectation. Of the Lord than we do.
Because the earth cries out. It's looking for the redemption
of man for the sons of. God to be revealed.
Man Hallelujah Psalms. 9311 and. Two, the Lord reigns.
Hallelujah, the Lord reigns. He is clothed with majesty.
The Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength.
Indeed, the world is firmly. Established it will not be
moved. Your throne is established from.
Of old. You.
Are from everlasting. Natural governments have been
set up. And torn down.
But his Kingdom is forever. How?
Yeah. I mean, should the Lord Terry,
there may not be a China or North Korea.
I mean, Rome does not exist as it used to.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? Psalms 96. 10:00 and 11:00 says.
Stay among the. Nation, the Lord reigns indeed.
The world is firmly established. It will not be moved.
He will judge the people with equity, and he's the only
government who can. Let the heavens be glad, Let the
earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all it contain.
Nature is shouting for the reign of the king.
It declares its play, its praises to him.
Nature itself cries out. The Lord gave me this message
for next year. I can't even preach.
I'm like this is this is way too good for to just preach it by
itself. There's some things we need to
add as visual effects. I mean the earth is crying out.
It's giving him praise. I mean Jesus said if you all
praise me the rocks will cry out.
I mean, I get around some believers.
I'm thinking the rocks at their house is doing a better job at
praising God than they are. Whoo.
Man, don't go home and think, man, my rocks are praising.
Better than me. I got a lot of rocks at my.
House I actually have a lot of rocks at my house.
And I don't want to praise him better than I because they'll
cry out. Hallelujah.
But notice in verse 10 of Psalm 96 it says, say among the
nations the Lord reigns. This is the gospel.
The gospel is not limited to or reduced to.
Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave so that when you
call on his name, you'll be saved.
So that when you die, you'll. Go to heaven, that's not.
The gospel that is a. Piece of the Gospel.
The gospel is the Lord reigns, that His Kingdom is here.
The gospel of the Kingdom is the gospel Jesus preached.
And as a result of that, what was He letting them know?
I reign and I want you in my Kingdom.
I never wanted the earth to experience humanity outside of
my Kingdom. However, the earth experienced
humanity outside the Kingdom. And God had a plan of
redemption. To do what?
Get man back at the Kingdom, To get them back in their fit, to
be, get them back in their place.
And Jesus fulfilled that. He fulfilled it all.
Everything required to fulfill it, Jesus fulfilled it.
Not one thing went unfulfilled by Jesus.
Glory to God, He reigns. He reigns.
You know, again, sometimes if we just pick up certain words and
kind of recite them and let them get in our spirit, it'll get you
to shouting. The Lord reigns.
I mean, when you hear stuff in the Earth, you just got to say
all you have to do. Is say the Lord reigns, the Lord
reigns, the Lord reigns. He reigns over sickness and
disease. He reigns over inflation.
He reigns over depression. He reigns over broken marriages.
He reigns over lack. He reigns over a broken mind, a
broken heart. He reigns over every situation
you would ever go through should you yield to him and acknowledge
His Lordship. Amen.
I mean, it's easy for the believer to yield in the trials
and tribulation, meaning to overcome them the minute we
yield to His Lordship. Lord, how do you want me to
handle this? How do you want me to respond?
What do you want me to do now? If you have no scripture, you
don't have an answer. The word is the answer.
Hallelujah. So the earth is.
Crying out. Amen.
First Chronicles 163031 Let the heavens be glad, let the earth
rejoice, and let them say among the nations.
The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns.
Man in this. Life you'll have trials and
tribulation, But be of good cheer.
He has overcome. Be undaunted, filled with joy.
Walk in perfect peace. Isaiah 52, seven says it this
way. How lovely.
On the mountain are the feet of him who brings good news, who
announces peace and brings good news of.
Happiness. What are they announcing?
Who announces salvation and says in in Zion?
What's the announcement of salvation?
Your God reigns. Hallelujah, the message.
Of salvation is your God reigns, Jesus reigns, the Lord reigns.
Isaiah 2423 Just trying to arm you.
Then the moon will be. Abashed and the sun ashamed.
For the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion.
And in Jerusalem and his. Glory will be.
Before his elders, my Mama. Is he setting up a Kingdom?
Will he come and reign forever? Luke 1:30.
Three, and he will reign over the House of Jacob Forever, and
his Kingdom will have. No end.
The king is coming. I said the king is.
Coming. The King is coming, and he
reigns. You know how many people in the
United States back in 2020 we're so excited for the inauguration?
Of President Joe Biden in January of 2021, you know how
many? People were excited, thrilled.
Elated couldn't wait. To see him inaugurated.
Put in office, become the. Supreme leader, we say of the
world, the leader of the world. You know how many people were
jacked, excited about that? Many people were.
Equally, you know how many
people are excited for January of 2025 when Donald Trump gets
sworn in and inaugurated back into the White House?
You know he's going to be excited.
I mean, people have taken time to actually get on planes and go
to hotels or Airbnb and watch these events.
You know, how many people showed up when President Barack Obama
was inaugurated in and he was considered the first man of
color to be the president? How many people showed up and,
and, and watched the inauguration and were in awe
with anticipation? I mean, but here, what's our
anticipation of the return of our king, the one who reigns,
the one who sits on the thrall, the one who brings peace to
everyone, the one who conquers? I mean, what's the anticipation?
I mean, we look for one time events when yet you could come
and fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis.
But then corporately when we come to a Church of which He is
the head and we assemble together to be before the King
of Kings and the Lord of Lords who reigns in life and who will
communicate through his fivefold ministry and then through Saints
of how you can overcome in this life when you're dealing with
things that you can get in the environment of perfect peace,
you can get in the environment of unity, you can get an
environment where people are yielded and submitted to the
King. I mean, why would we not run to
that event be? Passionate about it?
He. Reigns First Corinthians 1520. 5
For he must reign until he puts. All his enemies under his feet.
God is so just. He's so just.
Hallelujah. Now we we are going to be led by
the Spirit. And minister on things the Lord
wants to say to His church. Justice is one of those things.
There's just not enough. Preaching on justice.
Those people are afraid. Of sounding like legalism, but
it's not legalism. It's a Kingdom that is just.
And God is just man. He's so amazing.
And but he's also equally merciful and long-suffering.
But there comes a day when mercy is moved aside.
The reason? Why mercy triumphs over justice
is because if you receive God's mercy.
Then you won't be. Judged and eternally separated,
if you'll take his mercy path, but if you do not taken Timothy
212. If we endure, we will also.
Reign with him. If we deny him, he will also
deny us. But if we endure, what will we
do now? I love.
This because the Lord reigns and.
What I love about this verse is that he has the invitation not
just to declare to you that he reigns.
But that you reign. Hallelujah.
So when you say the Lord reigns, and if you yield and are
submitted to his Lordship, you equally say.
Then I get to reign. And I get to reign in this life.
I don't have to reign until he comes.
I don't have to reign until the new heaven.
And I don't have to wait to reign until the new heaven and
new earth. We can begin to reign now
because we are Co laborers with him.
And in this world we can have perfect peace because the trials
and tribulations are something that are just going to, we're
going to go through. But we go through because we
have the champion, the one who's never lost a battle.
I said he's never lost a battle. Hallelujah.
Revelations 510 says this. You have made them to be a
Kingdom and priest to our God, and they will reign where so
reigning is not set. For heaven, reigning is set.
For once you believe Hallelujah and you can enter into that
world that has peace again. Many people stand up and say,
man, I want World Peace. And they hit.
Proud of champ, but you can't have World Peace in this world,
but you can have the Kingdom peace, which is a different
world. Jesus will establish ultimate
global peace in the. New heaven and the new earth.
And it. Will not come until then.
And when Jesus reigns from 4000 years, there will be a lot of
peace in the earth, but sin will still be here too, and He will
judge sin differently during that time.
Frame than he does currently. Hallelujah.
Revelations 1115. Then the seven angels sounded.
And there were loud voices. In heaven, saying the.
Kingdom of the World has. Become the Kingdom of our Lord.
And of his Christ and he. Will what?
Forever and ever. Don't know this.
It doesn't matter how many nations develop nuclear.
Power doesn't matter because our King and his Kingdom is taking
over the rest of the kingdoms. Hallelujah.
So don't be. Afraid.
That's why he says don't fear little flock, for my father has
chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.
If anyone on the planet should be exercising peace, it's us.
And you will when you keep the word.
In the midst of your life, I'm glad I could teach you this
morning. Revelation. 19/6 Revelation
19/6. Then I heard a sound.
Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, like
the sound of many waters, like the sound.
Of a mighty pills of Thunder, saying Hallelujah.
For the Lord our God the Almighty, come on, let's see, He
reigns. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
For the Lord Almighty reigns. For the Lord Almighty reigns, He
reigns. Now he's seated on the throne.
Two more. We're done.
Revelations 20, verse 6. Blessed and holy is the one who
has a part in the first resurrection over these the
second death. Has no power.
But they will be priests of. God and of Christ, that's the
King and will what reign? With him for 1000 years will
reign with him for a. 1000 years.
We get to reign right now in this life, then we get to reign
with him for 1000 years in the millennial reign, and then will
reign with him forever in the new.
Heaven and new earth. Where there will only be
righteousness, and sin will be no more.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Because we followed the
champion. Oh my goodness, we followed the
champion. Jesus Christ is king.
I mean, So what? So what about the world?
We pray, we do things that the Lord asks us to do.
We pray in line with his word. We, we speak, we are in faith,
we but ultimately our King has conquered.
He's overcome. He's given us the victory and
the power to overcome as well. We can have perfect peace even
in the midst of trials and tribulation, you understand, in
the world and with the world. And they hate us and we can
accept that. Let's quit having the hatred
within our own body. Let's end division and strife
within the church. Let's eradicate that.
Let's don't become the religious negligent, let's do not be the
deceived ones. Let's do not become the ones
that fall away because they lack being doers of the Word.
No, let's maintain the unity of peace among the brethren, and
let's be passionate to put down the flesh and to desire to only
want to be a doer of the Word. As the psalmist David said, he
said, man, if it had been my enemy, I could have handled it.
That's expected. But it was.
You. The one who used to.
Go with me in the House of the Lord, That's the greatest.
Betrayal. Why?
Because there's no reason nor excuse.
For us not to allow the reigning spirit.
To reign in US. And for us to be in perfect.
Peace with one another. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Glory to God, and I believe God that He will come back for the
church that's without spot or wrinkle.
The ones. That are in perfect peace and
unity the ones that are. Functioning in the Word of God,
the ones that are putting down the flesh, the ones that are
renewing their minds, the ones that are.
Deciding that he is king, walking in the fear of the Lord,
having the wisdom of God. Walking in the knowledge.
Of God and keeping themselves in their fit and not let anything
take you away. From it.
Hallelujah. Think about it right now.
Who outside of this building? Right now what we would.
Consider the lost in Saint Augustine that is out there
attacking. US.
Where are they? They're not lined up now.
They showed up a little bit during COVID, but outside of
that, I mean, they're not standing out there trying to
keep you from coming in. Praise God hindering you.
This is why James said in his book.
He said listen, let's don't have any.
Quarrels among ourselves. Because when you have the
reigning spirit, it's easy to deny yourself and just do the
Word, because your spirit wants to do the Word is.
Passionate about the word? In fact, coming to church should
be the most blessed on an encouraging place you could ever
be. Yeah, because if you'll say is
the word being preached, is the Spirit of God moving?
Can I exercise my gifts? Man, it's a great place.
Now we're all being perfected. We're all being changed and
renewed and being adjusted and and growing.
That's true. But again, God was
long-suffering with Saji, long-suffering with me,
long-suffering with Marissa, long-suffering, you know, with
Tatias. And well, he's long-suffering.
So we can be long-suffering. We can be merciful, we can be
quick to forgive, which means it's the greatest place ever to
be. Because I'm around a bunch of
quick forgivers, merciful, long-suffering, compassionate
people that is there to help me grow and develop into all that
God wants me to be is the greatest place of.
Comfort. Where we can share with one
another the things of God, because our God.
Reigns, Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.
Now don't let the devil deceive you that the church is not alive
and well and doing good, because when he reigns, then he reigns
in how we do church. Here it is the Revelations 22.
Five, are you? Ready.
And there will. Will no longer be any night.
And they will not need the lamp of need, need of the light of
the lamp. Or the light of the.
Sun. Because.
The Lord God will illuminate them and they will reign forever
and ever. Now this is in the end, when the
new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, there's a new heaven and
new earth. God the Father will leave.
Heaven to come to earth. And reign with Christ on the
earth in Jerusalem, which will be the capital of all creation,
so that he can be with us. Oh my, so he can be with us.
And there'll be no sin. There'll be no sin.
The Earth will be perfect. I'm talking perfection of which.
No sin will ever show back up on it.
No issue will ever occur. No other rebellion will ever
happen for all eternity in this amazing This is the King that
sits on the throne today. He already reigns and has the
power to put everything back in this original intent that we who
have yielded to His Lordship perpetually are in awe of.
His power, His grace, His Majesty, His splendor, His
power, His justice, His kingship, man, we are going to
reign with him forever. And that's the world that
Abraham was looking for. That's the world Moses was
looking for. That's the world of all the
patriarchs. And the Old Covenant says they
were looking for a city, they were looking for a better world.
They were looking for a different place.
And into our dispensation, we are looking for a better place.
We know it's coming and it's going to be on this planet, but
it's going to take Jesus to do it.
And we get a piece of the peace now by being a keeper of his
word, walking in love, having unity, walking in the purpose
and plan of God in our life, not just being salvation people that
says, oh, I know where I'm going to go when I die.
I'm talking about people that are yielded 100% totally
submitted to the lordship of Jesus.
Christ bow not. Just in need, but in will, in
heart, in passion. That is an unstoppable force.
And that's the spirit God has put in us.
If you yield to it, it's the reigning spirit, because the
Lord, he reigns.
