Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. All right.
Y'all ready to get into the ending of our Diplomat?
All right, let's go back over to John chapter 12 again, I want to
highlight some of these verses. We've said to bring us into this
point that we want to get to tonight.
Just really, we've had great. I just want to thank you for
coming to Kingdom rise. We've had a great turnout, you
know, when we evaluate each time, we do one, you know, you
want increase, you want to make sure that you know, more people
are coming. Because the message is so
powerful, right? I mean, has the kingdom, changed
anybody's life, right? Can anyone admit?
I was in religion and then I heard the kingdom.
Yeah. And is the kingdom better than
religion? Yeah.
I mean it sets you free. It is such a free and so, you
know, it's always good to see increase and we appreciate you
coming taking time to get off work or arranging things with
work so that you can be here. Cause, you know, these are our
divine appointed times, you know, again, it's so easy to
just get in the routine of something and then forget what's
going on, you know, God has no problem with saying, hey, let's
do something a little different. Because, you know, at the end of
the day, if you've been with our sessions in the morning, you
know, Pastor Mark gave me a great message today.
When he started talking about, you know, free gifts and you
know he says at the end of the day, it does cost us.
Something, you know, because it is long as it's in our mind free
with. There's no value and if you
don't value something then you're really going to be in
religion because all you want to do is wait till you go to heaven
when you die. And that's not what God's intent
was going to heaven. When you die is going to be
great, you'll be caught up together and be with him, right.
You'll be present with the Lord, that's awesome and wherever he
is, I want to be. So when he comes back to planet
Earth, I want to be with him. Amen.
So things are good. All right.
Well that being said, John chapter 12 verse 49 and 50, says
this for, I do not for I have not spoken on my own authority
but the father who sent me, gave me a command as what to say and
what to speak. And I know that his commandment
has everlasting life. Therefore whatever, I speak,
just as a father has told me so I speak Jack Hayford.
Third did a commentary in the Bible and he, and his studies,
he makes some mention concerning the Apostle, John.
Because in the Gospel of John, John uses this word eternal
life. And when he was riding this,
there were such persecution in the church because the, the
apostles and disciples were really spreading the kingdom.
If you read the book, Of Acts, you see that Philip went to
Samaria and he went about preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and things concerning. Jesus, Paul himself did this as
well. So, this was their mode of
communication. They understood what the gospel
really was. It was the kingdom.
They were not trying to sell a religion, all right?
But the Roman Empire was cracking down on Christianity so
hard because they saw it as a government threat.
So, John picks up the word eternal life. instead of saying
the kingdom, Now, John can't put eternal life in there.
Unless the Holy Ghost had told him, are you hearing me?
This is a very good point as we begin to move forward into our
study of Diplomat because God's desire is so that his Nation can
influence other The Other Nation.
When he sends an ambassador, the goal is that he can have a
peaceful dialogue and win that other Nation over to to our
nation's thoughts because our King his words are life their
life. All right, so it doesn't
surprise me that the holy ghost at the because you understand
John's been, they tried to kill him multiple times and cannot
kill the man. I mean he has been the subject
of being a martyr on more than one occasion they bowled a man
and old and he's still alive, right?
I mean he's our New Covenant dispensation or age of the fiery
furnace instead of them putting him in a fiery furnace.
They put him in boiling oil and he still came out.
So they're like, we can't kill the guy.
Let's put him on an island. Let's exiling, we'll just cut
him off from society, right? So it's obvious that God begins
to talk to him because he God wants the opportunity to engage
in conversation diplomatically, right?
He wants to do that. Just as we've talked about some
parables in our morning sessions, God, hid throughs, so
that those who are hungry, could find them.
In fact, when you look at the gospels, there are times that
again, Jesus said, I speak in Parables to hide things because
those who are hungry, we'll find them, but those who don't want
them. Won't get it.
But he says they're in there at other times.
He started to say, he spoke to the disciples plainly.
This is no Parable, no store. I'm just telling you.
And one of the things he said to them plainly was, I'm going to
die, but in three days I'm going to be raised up.
That was very plain, very emphatic.
Okay. But when it comes to diplomacy
with a hostile Nation, Okay, there are only two nations in
the earth. There's the holy nation of God,
and then there's the nation of the devil, okay?
Both Nations can be kind, because evil can be kind, evil,
can even look like light. Evil can laugh.
Are you hearing me? Okay.
So the Lord wants this discourse, that's why he had
Paul pain. He said, live at peace live at
peace with all men as far as you can.
So, you know, even though Jesus said, do you think that I came
to bring peace? He says this.
He said, no, I came to bring a sword divisions coming.
Now, what is he saying, did I come to to make everybody mad
and stir up, anger among people know, No.
Was he trying to run people down?
No but he knew the minute. They people receive the kingdom
and get into the kingdom. They are going to be a different
nature than everyone else. And all of a sudden the way they
think behave and act or is going to look different than someone
else. And that division can happen in
a household between a husband and wife between parents and
children between siblings. Definitely in the workplace.
I mean, we Two different people. I'm a new creature in Christ.
You're still with your father, the devil and he's a liar,
right? You are still of sin but I've
been made righteous, okay? And so he says, I didn't come to
bring peace where we're all just going to get along.
What? I brought was my kingdom and
it's going to cause a separation, but in my Approach
I'm going to do a diplomatically to try to help.
Up you come over into my kingdom.
Are you hearing me? So Jesus, then by the Holy Ghost
obviously, says John so much attention is happening with the
church concerning the Kingdom. At this point.
It is going to be-better that when you address them just say
eternal life. So it kind of it, lightens the
blow of Rome, but here's the problem.
If you don't know that, that's the purpose behind eternal life
and that eternal life is really saying the kingdom.
Because again, let's just go to a scripture that we know,
everyone knows right, for John, 3:16 for God.
So loved the world that he gave his only begotten, son, that
whoever believes in him would have okay?
But what if we put the word Kingdom there, Now you're like,
man, I wish you would have said that, right?
That's a that one for God. So loved the world that he gave
his only begotten, son. That whoever would believe in
him would not perish, but would have the kingdom, and that's
what we're getting. We're getting the kingdom.
I said, we're getting the kingdom.
My point is that God has no problem with in his language, to
communicate his side to be able to communicate In a way that
helps the aggressive hostile Nation not being to be a little
more peace. Are you hearing me?
He doesn't have a problem with that.
Does it always function that way?
No. Because sometimes the Lord wants
to engage her relationship with a nation, a totally different
way. But I'm saying, it's not because
he hasn't tried to bring peace first, try to get them to change
their thinking first, all right, but if they don't, then
obviously things will get a little bit different.
Alright? With that being said, John
obviously says here in 50, I know that his commands is the
kingdom them In essence, I know that when my when my father
speaks, he speaks from the throne.
So, this is Kingdom talk. This is the government's
position in essence. Jesus is saying, I am the
greatest Ambassador you've ever seen on the planet, right?
And Jesus was the greatest one. Jeremiah was a great ambassador.
Because he represented God. Okay.
But the reality is he talked to God a few times like man I don't
want to do that man. I got I'm trying he even has had
a whole conversation about. I'm trying not to do it but your
words like a fire. Shut up in my bones, man.
I got a preacher but I was like, shut this down.
I'm done with this. Jesus didn't have that
conversation with his father at all.
He only had a conversation with his father, about his will by.
I really don't want to be separated from you outside of
that. Whatever.
My father says I do because I'm not here to represent me.
I'm here to represent my father and his kingdom.
Right? And Jesus Is Our Lord so we
should follow that example. We'd get in less trouble if we
do. Amen.
Now, I don't mean will avoid trouble, but we'll get less
trouble. John 5:30 says this, I can can
of my own self, do nothing. As I hear, I judge and my
judgment is just because I seek not my own will, but the will of
the father who hath sent me, let me do it this way.
Now, let me read these next couple and then I'll say it,
John 6:38, these are review for, I have come down from heaven,
not to do my own will Will, but the will of him who sent me
verse 5, John 5:19 John 5:19. Therefore Jesus answered and
said to them truly truly, I say to you.
The son can do nothing of himself unless it's something.
He sees the father doing for whether the, whatever the father
does, these things. The son also does in lat like
manner. Okay, the kingdom Ambassador
principle called we can't even talk about being a diplomat or
being diplomatic. Unless you understand, you are
an ambassador and the Ambassador ER, speaks for the kingdom and
does not represent himself only the kingdom.
That's what Jesus did. What's his first message?
He publicly preaches after he came up out of the, Jordan being
baptized by the spirit, repent. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand. Repent is not a religious word.
It means change, your thinking. And is that not what happens
when our ambassadors engage other nations.
There saying you should change your thinking on what you're
wanting to do here. Right, it also means side would
my party. Which means why don't you come
over to it are thinking and the way we do government and our
ambassadors do that, you need to change your thinking on hon your
approach towards our nation right now you might want to side
with our party. Right, he said, repent for the,
what kingdom of God is at hand, and then we're learning a
powerful lesson in the, in the morning sessions about this
Kingdom, I will mention here because not all of y'all been in
service, but the kingdom of God, we are in.
Okay? Is in is one Kingdom into ages.
Okay. Jesus inaugurated this Kingdom
to be able to come back to the Earth through Humanity.
Remember what he said. When you pray pray this way, our
whose father has your daddy, my daddy, he's your daddy.
If you're born of God, if Jesus is, Lord of your life, God's not
your daddy. If Jesus Christ is not the Lord
of your life, you got some other make believe God and you may
call him God and you may associate I'm with Jesus but the
reality is unless you have laid down your life.
And live for him. Totally.
Then there's a false reality in your religion.
Amen. This is total lordship but the
your father is Jesus's, father, Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed Be Your Name, Your Kingdom Come your will be done
on Earth as it is. And there's no rebellion in
heaven anymore. It happened once and he got
kicked out. And there's never been another
Rebellion ever. Jesus said, I saw Satan fall.
Like lightning, that was dumb. Right.
Because the kingdom has never lost a battle.
God's kingdom has never lost a battle.
Hallelujah, his kingdoms. Love it is love.
He will always do his word, his word, beats every condition
necessary. So that God will fulfill his
whatever he says, period. Amen.
So here Jesus then is the greatest representative of an
ambassador because he only does what the father says.
That's all he's doing. That's all he ever done.
Did, and every conversation then we can conclude now is he's
having direct communication with the Home Country on how to
navigate with These other nations and when we say Nations,
we're not just talking territory landmass caused by All rights.
A nation is not territory. Its people And if we didn't
believe that, then nobody would in here, will be calling
themselves. An Irish American and African
American an indian-american. You wouldn't do that.
Because you're not actually in India.
I mean except for Pastor Jay right now other than that you're
not but now he's a citizen of India.
But we see people and that's how we identify right a people
group. So, you know, people then
identify on the outside. They identify also by how they
behave their culture and even if they're not on in their home
country, they will have a connection with the land that
are not even of right now. I don't have a problem with that
if you'll do that spiritually because I'm connected with the
land and I'm not currently residing in Meaning Heavens,
perfect government system. That I was originally a part of
in God's mind when he created heaven and earth in the first
place. Let us make man in our
dimension, in our likeness, and let them have dominion.
So, I'll be, I have a heaven realm that I rule, I gave them
the Earth realm, that they rule. I own all this, but I'm going to
let them because they're like me, let them rule.
But when Adam ate the fruit sin, enter the world and the Lord had
to step in. And so, Jesus comes and says,
I've come to represent the kingdom because it's the kingdom
that man, lost man, did not lose heaven.
Man did not fall from Heaven man.
Lost dominion and lost access to the kingdom of God.
Amen. So God wants heaven to manifest
in the earth and the way heaven will manifest in the earth is
through his ambassadors, right? And so, then they are dealing
then with a hostile Nation, those that are outside the
kingdom of God, and they're having relations.
Attic relations in trying to get them, to change their thinking
in the position, they're in. Because if they actually sided
with the kingdom, they would be a to enter into life.
Okay, so an ambassador speaks for the kingdom, does not
represent himself onto the kingdom, the and of the
ambassador's the Kingdom's agent for conveying.
Its will desires and purposes in the territory to which he, or
she is, is assigned. We read in Ephesians that
there's an ambassador there. Ephesians 6, I'm not going to
read that scripture tonight but 2nd Corinthians 5:18 and 20.
I'll read it says now. All these are from God who
reconciled us to himself through Christ.
That means the king and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Elevation. So a diplomat when he's doing
when he is doing diplomatic. Things through diplomacy, he is
trying to bring reconciliation with a nation that has become
hostile. They have had a sever in
relationship. God has had a sever Severn
relationship with Humanity because of the fall of Adam and
now he's trying to reconcile them back and he uses his
ambassadors to do. So.
So, and he's always used this role of ambassadors.
Someone to represent him and his word, he did it in the old
Covenant or Old Testament, or even before the law, he's done
that. He also does it now in this one
and he'll do it in the age to come so this Kingdom which
stretches between two ages. We are in an evil age now,
meaning that, even though Jesus has stripped the devil of his
authority, he did not take him out of the planet that comes in
the millennial. So that tells us then is that we
will have challenges. Jesus said in this life you'll
have trials and tribulation but be of good cheer for I have
overcome the world at the end of the day, as pastors, going to
really teach on this tomorrow. Because we are in his kingdom
that stretches to ages. Even though we're in a present
evil age, where we still see sin, we still see this hostile
Nation. We still see these that are
going against an attack. God's Nation.
It's no. Different than what we see
happen with China. Towards the u.s. right now and
Russia towards a u.s. right now. It's no different.
They're hostile. They why?
Because they want to become the global power.
They will all other nations to what bow down to them.
Well, you understand, the world wants the church to bow down to
it, because the devil has only wanted one thing for God to what
bow down to him. But we are the superior Nation.
Not. And I don't say that in the
Arrogant or conceited way. I mean, God is superior and
we're of his class where the god class where the god, Khan, who
happened to be Kings. So, the cool thing about the
kingdom, where in, because it stretches across two Ages, which
really when we say to, we could almost say three because it goes
into the perfect government with a new Heaven, new Earth, okay?
But the reality is this going in a I have no win now that Jesus
when his resurrection it's available, we can function in
it. We can pull Heaven to Earth.
And how do we do this? Because we stretch over into
this Millennial reign. Time period and pull those
benefits into. Now, we can be healed now.
Right? We can prosper now, have all
their needs met now, because we pulled it over by faith because
we're in a kingdom that is already exceeded Tom.
I mean we're trying to catch up to where it is.
Hallelujah. All right so we're reconciling.
Then this Evil Nation or hostile Nation.
Trying we won't know to get them back in.
Good relationship with God. Not that we let our saying stay
in your nation and just be at peace with God.
We're saying you need to come over to this nation because your
resistance is futile. Right verse 19 says, namely that
God was in Christ. Reconciling the world to himself
not counting their trespasses against them and he has
committed to us the word of reconciliation verse 20.
Therefore we are what we are ambassadors for Christ.
Okay, as though God, we're making an appeal through a show
doing, alright? So we are a diplomat them.
We are one employed in skilled in diplomacy.
This is I and I would say this, we are calling Called to be an
ambassador, but many are not actually skilled in diplomacy.
So if you're going to be a diplomat, In your office, which
of Ambassador, which is the highest rank, a government can
give that citizen. You're going to go and represent
me. So again, we said yesterday,
when you, when people see you, they don't meet you.
They meet a nation. So you've got to quit living for
self and you got to get rid of personal savior mentality.
Did Jesus personally die for you?
Yes, because you're included in everyone, he died for, I've
heard it taught this way. You know what?
If you were the only one Christ would have came?
Nope, would not have if nobody would have gotten right with
Jesus. He still would have came, even
if the whole world would have Still rejected him, he still
would he came because he would have been able to rightly judge
us that I said, let us make man in our image, according to our
likeness, let them have dominion.
Jesus said I have made Dominion available for them again.
All they have to do is receive it by faith, and if none of
humanity wants to get back in that position, I'm not a liar.
So if no one after Adam would have ever repented, and believed
Jesus, still coming to the planet is going to die.
Because God says, I'll do my word and what do you say?
I'm gonna bring my seed through the woman, said he was bringing
his seed whether you going to accept it or not.
So don't think that Jesus just came for you.
Jesus came because the father said, I'm sending my seed, good
news, is you can get ill. Not, that's what's exciting.
Is that you can get in on that. But we have really kept this
kind of God mentality that we've had ourselves.
Even when we come over to Jesus over, he just died for me.
I'm so special for him. It's like man, I came cause
daddy said I had to you just get the benefit of that deal.
Because how do I know you're going to you're not many people
are not accepting him, you know how many are going to be cast
into the Lake of Fire which is the second death.
How many? The Bible says, it keeps growing
wide is the gate that leads and many and every one of them could
have had Dominion could have been restored and Jesus died for
them. So we're not more special.
Everyone that would be cast into the Lake of Fire.
He loved them. But he gave them what they
wanted according to his word. If you don't accept me, this is
the condition and love puts you in the Lake of Fire because you
chose to be without him for eternity, just say, Amen.
Anyway, all right, so we are to be employed.
In diplomacy, diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting
negotiations between nations skilled and handling Affairs,
without arousing hostility. This I Know Why the Lord brought
this to my spirit about the Diplomat because and I hear him
say to me, says, son, the reason why is because my church, my
ambassadors. My Saints are are in adequately
trained to negotiate with the world.
They're at their in adequately trained.
Why? Because watch, they want to be
hostile. Especially as the day gets
darker, the more we're going to want to be more if you don't
watch out hostile. But guys, not talk to asking you
to be hostile. He's asking you to exhibit
diplomacy and diplomacy is to try to make.
Try to change thinking in peace. The first and foremost, all
diplomats. The first thing is not, we going
to blow you up. You'll do what I say that's not
Step 1. Step One is like, can we come to
take my have a conversation. So I'm not really sure why
you're thinking like this. I mean, what's going on that?
You're exhibiting so much hostility towards me, we need to
re-establish some relationship here.
So any Diplomat who can get hostility of a Nation back to
very peaceful terms is always the best way to go.
Unfortunately some Nations do not respond, and when that takes
place even God does things different.
We're going to see examples of this, but in these last days,
when number one, it says, when Jesus comes back, will he find
faith in the earth also? He said in the last days, there
will be such lawlessness and that the hearts of many Well,
the the love of many will grow cold, meaning the Agape
Christians harshberger, which means when you're watching TV,
you'll get so mad. Okay, I'm preaching so mad at
these anti Antichrist. Legislations ungodly demonic
things. I mean mad so mad.
You like we got to do. Listen, the Bible's already.
Let us show the world's going to hell in a handbasket in one
sense, right? It's not our job, I mean, it's
fantasy thinking as US ambassador, think you're going,
A change everybody. In fact, the Bible actually lets
us know more or are not going to get in.
I mean it's that's just an unfortunate.
Piece of information. We already have from the king.
I mean, I feel like the church is in such a delusion right now,
man, there's going to be this Great Harvest before the return
of Jesus. I don't know how great it to be.
I mean, I believe there's going to be a harvest.
But I think there's gonna be a massive harvest in the catching
away of the church and many I'm going to get right on the other
side because they're going to be like Lord.
He said, man, I was not intimately acquainted with you.
Many people. During the tribulation because
they have a knowledge of God going to realize, listen, can I
just help you don't? You don't want to be left in the
tribulation. Just voluntarily ill.
Now, I remember telling a particular child of a parent
that they were struggling with obeying their parents and so,
you know, I met with them and I said, listen, I'm just going to
be honest with you. You're you're going to have to
submit period, this little issue that you got would submitting to
us what you know the person over you.
This is this is will happen forever in eternity.
Okay and here's the thing, submissions going to happen in
your life so you can either learn to voluntarily submit to
your parents rules right now with peace, okay?
Or there's going to come a day that you will be forced into
submission. Because the police are going to
put you somewhere. Unfortunately, they didn't
listen to my advice and they received forced submission.
So now they're told when to get out of the cell, what they're
eating, what they're wearing. Now, on the inside and still be
full of rebellious. I'm not submitting your
submitting because you're not saying I'm not going to wear of
this prison uniform. You're wearing the prison
uniform. I'm not going to eat this will
find in your Diane starve to death.
No problem with us that it just be less taxpayer money, but you
find them eating it, right? Now there may be a lot of
conflict, might get into a lot of fights, might have a lot of
prison guards, you know, tasing on whatever they do.
They're in the prison system but it's for submission.
You don't want to be left behind because then it's going to call
it. Most likely is going to cost you
your actual life. You'll have to just go ahead and
prove it through being martyred. But if you're having a hard time
on this side being volunteering, then you're going to take the
mark of the beast, man. Let's just go ahead and be
honest. That's just going to be a rough
deal and you're going to know. I am foot my allegiance to the
Antichrist because you couldn't do it with a God that was
talking to you here. Just say men anyway so in these
last days he said man there's going to be trouble trouble in
Toms so we've got to get our diplomacy on.
We got to be diplomatic we're already the the nation is
hostile towards us, right? You don't take it covid shot,
they're hostile. before that time, whether you took shots or
not was not even a and whether you took a shot or not, I don't
care. It's what's happening behind it?
I mean Walmart and Home Depot can stay open.
But all of a sudden, sure she got shut down that's hostile but
now do they come again in diplomacy?
What is the enemy? What's that?
This is what we're going to do. We're going to negotiate with
you, we need you. To close the doors.
For a set period of time. But now because of the stress of
this moment and the isolation, we're going to keep ABC liquor
open. Oh, did not liquor store, stay
open because alcoholics in their home without being able to get
what they're addicted to that hostile government said, no, we
got to keep feeding, what keeps them not being sober minded, we
got to keep adding to how can San Francisco be had handing out
heroin Two people all over the streets.
Right. My point is, is that that can't
make you mad. Now at the end of the day, it
will grieve you. I get it.
But you understand there are at all the time thinking.
Let's just go with Jesus real quick.
Okay, we're talking about diplomacy.
How many times did Jesus get angry and it's recorded.
One time you bet in the temple. So we know that the father says
what they doing in my temple right now.
I am not well with and my action towards this is you going to go
up in there and you're going to knock them tables over you and
find you a whip and you going to drive them all out and you're
going to remind them, that there's only one we are going to
view some Brute Force. In our diplomacy to get the
house back. Now, did he do that?
But how many times did he get mad at everything else?
Okay, so that tells me then and all the stuff that God did and
the Jesus did, in negotiating with a hostile Nation, anger was
the least thing he did. Yet most Christians calls their
carnal. Or angry and their uses
scripture. But Jesus didn't do that.
Now did Jesus have issues with the religious?
Yeah but you know what? He didn't have issues with the
world. So the only part of the Hostile
Nations that he in his diplomatic approach was is those
who actually had access to me and should know and be on that
had an anointing because the priest the high priest could
have the anointing come upon him.
They were separated unto God, so they actually had access to be
able to hear from heaven. And do different.
But now those that are outside of the house, they did not and
he was compassionate. The diplomacy was compassion,
he's Healing The Sick, raising the dead casting out Devils he
didn't go well you deserve that devil be in you.
Don't think I don't know about you.
Right. Don't think, I don't know about
you. He knew about people, the woman
comes and washes, his feet with her tears.
Pours, all on him and the religious.
Like, man, if he is a prophet God, you know, what kind of
woman that is they angrily? Hear the anger in that, right?
I can't believe it. I mean, I can't believe he's in
my house right now. So Jesus gets diplomatic may I
ask you a question. We got a couple people that's
got some debts on they. Oh, right.
He's being diplomatic. One has 10 bucks.
He owes somebody. I'm, you know, I'm that's not
what the scripture actually says.
Okay. I'm paraphrasing 10 bucks.
This was a million. Both are forgiven.
Which one do you think? Love more?
Because of him? He goes, I would suppose a 1
forgiving more debt. Is you say correctly?
He says, when I came into this house, you didn't kiss me.
You didn't try to wash my feet. But this woman though her sins
are many. Oh, I know about her.
I know what kind of woman she is.
But what she's doing right now, the World's Gonna know about it.
Because my presence and what I've already done in the Earth
with the kingdom has caused this one to come over to my side,
you're still hostile. Right.
But too many I'm telling you carnal, Christians and we I'm in
the process of doing a book right now.
Y'all heard me preach on equipped and you know what?
We've said about equipped, if all you do is educate the body
of Christ, the best you can produce as a Pharisee, It's the
best you can do. God, never called us to equal to
educate the body. He called us to equip the body
and there's a difference, but most of the churches, because
people don't read the Bible. So they have no idea about their
Kingdom. Don't even know there any
Kingdom. So how can they even be an
ambassador? How can they negotiate with
these hostile Nations? And these people that are in
hostility towards us because the world hates us You just and the
world hates the church. So every time the church is the
standard of God, right? If you're going to stay in
Ambassador, then you're gonna have to live the lifestyle
associated with righteous. As John said, it this way, you
have to live a life in keeping with repentance, okay?
You're gonna have to live holy blameless, you're going to have
to work that thing out now. Can you make a mistake?
Sure will God forgive you. Yes, but your heart is not to
live wrong, your heart is to actually live who you are in
Christ. You want to renew your mind, you
want? To please your father.
You want to do whatever he says, whenever he says, because you
are a good son and daughter and your example of Jesus because I
only do what that says. I want to do because he loves
me. I mean, he's the one who gave me
this life. This is so easy for me to do
this. So I'm not going to be glad by
my flesh. I'm going to be led by the
spirit and those who are led by the spirit.
These So people live by the flesh where I can question
whether you are one. Now that doesn't mean you can't
be a Son of God and still be led by your flesh.
Sure. Paul's like why are you so
carnal to the Corinthian Church? I can't even speak to you about
spiritual matters because you're so carnal.
I mean, you're like Mere Men, your babes in Christ and the
majority of Believers on the planet.
Now, Or babes. And man, when things get tough,
because we know some scripture we going to try to negotiate
with the world like a Pharisee. So what do we do?
We should have a standard but what's the church doing?
Especially in the u.s. well the world is totally different than
us. Well we want to be relevant.
Because the more moral God-fearing Desiring to be
wholly towards God because he made me whole day anyway and let
that see. Then the world itself will rise
to a level of morality. But the minute you try to come
down and say, well, we're like the same.
I'm just a sinner saved by grace.
You know what the world hates the church?
They're like, forget that I don't want to, like, you look
too much like me. I got to do more things worse.
This is why our world is Decay because the church is exhibiting
such a low standard. And at like this is God, that
the world's like we hate God, how can I be drinking in the
club right now? And this guy's going to church
tomorrow this will make any sense that you're You're gonna
can look at ordering can I order you another one brother?
Okay let's talk about the Lord. This is happening.
This is literally happy and so weird and this guy's like
confuse his life. I hate God.
How in the world can I look like this guy right now?
I mean even those people know, Something right.
Have you ever noticed how the world wants to tell us how to be
Believers? Well, you're a Christian.
You're not supposed to? Well, how do you know that?
Even the world knows the standards higher.
Well now brother, I'm just you know, I'm just trying, that's
not diplomacy, that's carnality. They're like forget that man.
I gotta go worse, I look too much like God and I didn't even
realize it and we call that Grace.
That ain't Grace, that stupidity.
That's what that is. Amen.
Now here's the thing. There's growth, I get it.
So you can't just get locked in. This is the deal with diplomacy
diplomacy is not black and white.
Diplomacy is following the voice of the Lord, because he knows
what draws men. This is the issue.
You can't just go in and, you know, just, I can't believe
you're living like that. You're gonna have to change.
You know what, you know, what do you know, how many servers are
living an alternative lifestyle, right now?
Can I say it that way? Some servers that we, I know
they're not living. But I am I talk to them.
I treat them like a human being. I mean I and I know I do.
It's no I mean I mean I have one server a guy.
He's like man I'm leaving going to New Jersey going to be up
with my you know my you know my lover up there.
All right. I'm like really, you know, and
you could tell every time he served, you know, that he was
just searching. But at the end of the day, I
never once talked to him about Jesus, I'll be honest with you,
I never did why? Because I'm not stupid, because
I actually listen to the Holy Ghost and some people aren't
ready to have that conversation. He needed just the exposure of
my life. Of my godliness.
I mean I won't open doors so diplomacy is I'm not talking to
you about your sin. I'm I and he knows that I'm a
preacher. And if he goes around and asks,
The other servers will how much tip did you get?
You know, when he won't be able to do?
And he couldn't, they whenever say well, he didn't give me, I
know they're doing, I'd given them nothing.
Like we had like, we're supporting their habit,
supporting their behavior. No, I'm going to show you God,
because while you were yet, sinners Christ died for me.
I mean, he he paid the ultimate price of blood while we are
living the most horrific life towards his kingdom and I can't
bless. Him with a 50 dollar bill.
Be like why is the church giving me money like this, they give me
more money than my own kind. Because ultimately, then when
God starts talking to their heart, that was be like The end
of the day you say, would you let people that are doing sin in
the church? You're here?
Write me. Sure.
Did come in perfect, you still dealing with stuff now?
But you know what diplomacy won't allow me to do.
It won't allow me to let you start walking through the church
and acting like how you're living is acceptable to God.
Now my diplomacy will kick into another level.
And my diplomacy. I have no opinion in the matter,
but my king says so I and again, what does the world do they're
pushing and saying, you know, that we hate this sexual sin.
We hate any sin, sexual sin, sexual sin is not just same-sex.
It is fornication, which is a heterosexual relationship
without marriage. That's in.
Now, I'm not kicking somebody out if they've done it, but what
I'm doing is trying to demonstrate the love of God,
preached Ruth, you're going to hear that here.
But at the end of the day, you have to make that choice.
And I'm not against you, I will help you, I will do everything I
need to do because again some people in some we are really
going out of the way. Why is showing kindness?
Because it's the kindness of God that draws men to repentance.
But now my diplomacy kicked into another level.
If they are so-called brother, this is why Jesus talked to
Pharisees. One way and there's the other
way but carnal Christians only talk one way.
Cause they can't discern. They can't discern.
Jesus had a again, the guy comes up with Leprosy and he said,
Lord, if you're willing, he obviously already heard from the
father, he's not doing anything that the father hasn't
authorized and the demo diplomatic approach for him and
his Ambassador is to bring the Healthcare System of his kingdom
to this hostile nation and show compassion.
He could have said, son, you know why you left her?
See You want to tell you why you got leprosy.
Now, it may not be that Heath sinned in brought it on, it
could be. Just because sin is in the earth
symptoms in our body doesn't mean we've are we been in sin
certain diseases that mean. You've been as him?
Some can. Yes.
But again discernment. Lets you know where that's at.
My point is that Jesus wasn't blast it because everyone
rightly we're having the problems they were having
because they all were Fallen but man, Jesus had the capacity as
an ambassador, a dad. What do you want me to say?
How do you me to engage this National He says, well do this
from our kingdom? Do this from our kingdom.
That's why acts 10:38 said, look how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth. Who went around doing good.
And healing all who were oppressed of the devil.
Oh, Wow. Moses and Egypt is probably one
of the greatest diplomatic models.
We have God, sends an ambassador.
Moses you're my Ambassador, I'm here in heaven here on Earth.
I need you to go help my people. The ones I'm in Covenant with
Abraham Isaac and Jacob, right? Which turned into Israel.
I need to go help them, but I need to go to the government.
So we're going to get into a diplomatic relation.
This is the kingdom. Sod.
This is my position. Tell them to let my people go
just be a peaceful transfer. I'm not here, I'm not here to
roll this nation. All the all this Kings got to do
is let my people go. Is that not what he did?
But the Kings light. I don't know.
You got right? I've never met your king.
No, I'm not doing that. So the Lord said well we're
going to have to bring some sanctions.
You hear what I'm saying? We have to apply some pressure
but we need him. Change your thinking.
Right. Moses didn't cry like a baby.
Oh yeah. How do you know you're living
Ambassador life? Because you're not crying like a
baby when the Hostile Nation opposes you.
He didn't throw at enter temper tantrum.
He didn't get all mad every time.
Right. No, now he went to Laura says.
Whoa man. Whoa man.
I didn't know I was gonna get this bad for our own people.
But again, why did Pharaoh retaliate?
That's what happens in diplomacy.
Someone's trying to Muscle Up on the other.
I mean, right now in our own Nation it was just an outside of
China said after a little military exercise, we're ready
to go to war with the United States.
My friends, that is a threat. That is a threat, just saying
that is basically saying we're not intimidated with you.
Now, that doesn't mean they're sending them, but they're just
saying we're ready to go. You don't want to fire shot at
us. Now somebody's lying.
There's a bluff somewhere right? At the end of the day and
Pharaoh was trying to show I mean but he lived by the
natural. He saw his Armory or me.
He saw his wealth. He saw all this alignment a
slave. Don't talk to me.
Your God is not going to get them out of this deal but boy
did Laura start bringing came back reading it.
Well we'll just do it this way. It's like and then even the king
of Egypt, Pharaoh has Has to ask the ambassador to get rid of
part of the stuff. Can you get rid of the frogs
man, and you ask the Nats to go, why?
Cause he knows it didn't come from them.
Right then even his own advisor starts saying, man, this you
might want to step away from this.
Because this this nation's got the upper hand.
When God delivers them. Right.
When he delivers them, he sends in one special force guy.
Okay, just one. He sends one in at night.
He tells his Nation, you put blood on your door post because
he's special forces, new guy. The only way he going to get the
doors right. If you got blood on it you don't
get blood on it. I mean he's a new I miss his
first mission first mission. Okay, so we're going to help him
but blood on your doors. All right. now, listen, if
Pastor Ramon, if they had not obeyed, That angel would have
killed it Israelite. Because the only reason that
first born is protected in awe is because the blood and God
didn't put his blood on it. They had to put the blood on it.
All right. Hallow God's in control if he
is. Why didn't he send a painter
first? Put it on, paint your door, the
Lord's in control. You just just go back to sleep.
We don't want you to do anything.
You're a pathetic sheep. You can't do nothing man.
And we got to do it all you. I mean, you are the most
high-maintenance creation we've ever been around.
I mean, that's as modern day. Christianity is an odd, you
know? Oh, can you bring me a tea?
Why you're here? I mean, we're right making.
God serve us guys. Like, I'm sending my guy first
mission. Put some blood on the door, so
you don't kill your kid. I need you paint the door.
No, you better paint that door. But what did he do?
He went through one God one night.
He was stealthy. Took out the first born. man,
that was But is that where God? Did God ultimate now God knows
where he was going to have to go because he has Intelligence
already. You understand when you starts,
when you when they went ahead of a Nation since their ambassador
to nigga? It's because they already have
intelligence. God already knows how pharaohs
going to respond before even sends his Ambassador, but he
still, what's he do? It's not, I'd it's not because I
didn't give the king And the nation a chance.
And they just chose the Hard Road.
Then when the Kings like, what have we done?
We're go kill them all now. He's like, I got man, I and this
is why I want my nation to see when you get over in the other
side that this can never come after you again.
You're going to watch them die, you're never going to be
thinking in the back is Pharaoh coming.
You know, that's what he did to the devil.
He stripped the devil, his power so much that you don't have to
look back and say is the devil coming.
Is he coming? Which means then we have
Intelligence on what we need to do to engage.
This is diplomacy and we're not even activating it.
Joshua and Jericho, that's diplomatic relation.
Diplomatic relation. Now, you say, well, I don't
member him. Meet with the leaders know, God
had met with them and the last 400 years because before Abraham
at a conversation with Abraham, he said to Abraham, he said
Abraham, you can have so many descendants it's going to be
like, the sand of the Sea and the stars in the sky.
He said, but here's the deal. Your descendants are going to be
stuck in a nation. For 400 years.
And then I'll go get them. And I'm going to bring him right
here to watch your sin. He says, I can't bring him here
yet because the sins of the amorites have not come to a
fullness, which means I've been I'm going to be talking to these
guys for the next few centuries diplomatically to repent.
But when they don't listen, I'm taking the land.
Because it's my Earth anyway. Are you hearing me?
It's my Earth in you and that was what we consider a hard
case. That when the Lord shows up, now
they already have knowledge. Remember what Rahab said?
We heard about you guys, we have been interior.
Well, what's that mean? The Lord's already.
Gave them a message from Egypt. You might want to open your
gate. Right.
But what do they do? They stayed shut up tightly.
Nope, didn't do it when they could have gotten out, they
chose know. We going to fight, we ain't
going. And we going to trust in our
walls and what they put their trust in.
God, brought down and that's the same thing he did with Pharaoh,
what? Pharaoh, trusted his Gods.
He brought though, all those guys can predict him.
That's what all those plays were about the amen.
Well, what's that do for us? Let's try to close this down a
little bit. Matthew 16, Verse 18, It's
that's just why it's so important for you to come to
church. Okay.
Go ahead. Put that up.
I'm worried, I give you the name Peter Stone, right.
Okay. He says this because again,
they, he's asking them. Who do people say that I am,
right? And they say, your these
prophets dada, dada da? He said, who do you say that?
I am. They said, we are the Christ,
the son of the Living God and he says, Peter flesh and blood has
not revealed that to you. But my but by the spirit, my
father has and then he calls him blessed and he says, listen and
this truth of who I am meaning, I'm the Christ.
I'm the king who's bringing the kingdom that I have no end
according to You, all right. Will be the Bedrock foundation
on which I will build my church, and his church is not a brand
new term, and it's not a religious term, it was already
in the Earth. And that's why the passion gets
it right says this my legislative assembly.
On Tuesdays aniela. How many Tuesday's is this at
the county Tuesdays when they have their board meeting?
First and third on the first and third and st.
Johns County. They have a board of County
Commission meeting in essence. They have an assembly Writing
you know up in our state I went and prayed they were having an
assembly a legislative assembly where they were creating laws
debating to determine how we better govern the citizens.
Are you hear me? And if you want to know what
they mean, you got to stay connected to that.
If you want to know what kind of laws, they're trying to pass
because there are laws that are trying to destroy the church and
it's in the state level. It's in county and City levels,
and it's in federal levels because there is a hostile
government. But we are legislative assembly.
So church is when we come together as ambassadors in this
Embassy, and we're hearing from the home country, on how we need
to handle things in our own personal lives, right?
And really God talking to you about, you is really just
training. So you'll be a better Ambassador
because you can't be a good Ambassador if you don't
represent him because your behavior looks like the world
because you're going rogue. So, he trains you to be a great
Ambassador so that you always embody the kingdom.
And then he will, then tell you how to actually handle
situations in your home at work. He'll give you the capacity.
To negotiate and that comes because you come to church and
grow in the word. So he says, my, I'll build my
church. My legislative assembly and the
power of death will not be able to overpower.
I will give you the what keys of Heavens Kingdom Realm.
Keys plural. To forbid on Earth, that which
has been forbidden in heaven and to release on Earth, that which
has been released in heaven. I know the King James says bound
on Earth. You know, and buying in heaven,
you don't bind in heaven on. You don't bond Earth on Earth
before you bind in heaven Heavens telling you what we have
this is our position. Our position is bond this you
like okay as an ambassador here's my position, we're
bonding that because it's already there in heaven, that
way. If Heaven said we going to lose
this, then you're in your Isshin, we going to lose this.
It's not my opinion. I don't have my ID come to serve
my own will only the will of my father, right?
And so he will tell us, I remember when we first started
and we went over to this 312 location, we were in Gamble.
Rogers. Shot over to this 312 location
across from Cobblestone and we were into storefronts in a
warehouse. And so we were, you know, first
going to be there, 10,000 square feet.
You know, it's going to be our new home.
We were advertised as a big sign in some citizen of st.
Johns County went by who Was not a by hostile Nation.
They were called the county and says, there's a church-going in
here. We don't like it or they doing
right. And man we are in there painting
getting ready for service. and then all of a sudden inspector
from the county shows up and tells us That we can't do any
more work and that we are not even allowed in the building.
We're not authorized, which was surprising.
Because when we got into the lease anyway with the owner, I
called zoning, and I asked them about Zoni.
It was under a what they call a commercial, the general and
churches can be in that area. So this is a shock to me.
So I just got into diplomacy. I'm gonna give you a real-life
testimony. So I came up because I was in
the back, saw him there, and I shook his hand and he said,
y'all can't work here. You know, he was pretty stomped,
you know, he was kind of like he got his badge here, right?
I'm the authority don't even talk to me.
It's kind of that kind of approach, right?
But I was soft in diplomacy. So, what's happening?
You know? Okay, he said, I don't shoot the
messenger because he was expecting a response of
retaliation. I'm like, hey, you're just doing
your job, no problem. He got shocked by that
statement. I said, I am a little confused.
I mean I had called the county about it.
They said I was, he said well, you know, you're not zoned for
this, I said that's very surprising, but that's fine.
Can you give me a name? He goes.
He literally said this. You're really taking this well I
said, sir, you're just doing your job, it's no big deal.
I just honestly, I just need of name.
I mean I'm going to have to, obviously, go work it out.
He goes, wow, he goes away. Anytime I go to church, they
died. No one's ever responded like you
That means they yelled at them. They got mad at him.
They were Pharisee pastors. So because I responded
diplomatically piece trying to restore peace.
There's obviously something going on here that I'm unaware
of. How can we restore peace.
I said now, listen, I got this one challenge.
You know, can you help me? You know, I said the church will
be here on Sunday. I have no way to be able to
communicate with everyone that we can't be in this location.
You know, would it be okay if we come Sunday so I can let them
know what's going on? Obviously, the next day was
Friday, I will get down to zoning.
I'll find out what's going on. Then I can inform them and we
can obviously make decisions. He says, that's fine because we
don't even work on the weekend anyway.
So that's no problem. Y'all can come, he gave me
permission to assemble in a building.
He's already told me. I'm not authorized in.
So then I went to the county met with the zoning manager had a
meeting and I said, you know, All them who I was.
Oh yeah, you know, because they know all's that church, you
know, already got the buzz about it, right?
And everybody's looking around at the guy that's coming in as
from that church, that's serious.
That's how that went down. And so they showed me and gave
me, you know, told me why, you know, it's a PUD actually.
Okay, in though, you know, it meets, you know, it's
underneath, you know, commercial General and Commercial
intensive. The reality is, it's a PUD and
these are the allowable uses and churches not on there.
So, wow. Okay.
I said, well, can I have a copy of that she said?
Yep, no problem. So I got a copy of that, send it
to my attorney because again, you're zoning manager, you're
doing what you've been told, but I'm fixing to go up a notch,
right? Because again, I'm being
diplomatic, I was nice wasn't upset, nothing as far as they
were concerned, they thought, okay, that worked out.
Well, you know, on to the next client, well, I call my
attorney, my attorney Lisa, and I Pastor Earle this first
paragraph right here. Says you meet.
Spirit of intent. And in this list of pu Dee's,
okay, down here, you know there is a Moose Lodge which is a 501,
c 3. And there is a federal law
called the rluipa that prohibits communities from discriminating
against churches that if they allow a non-profit to be in a
location. They cannot discriminate against
the church being in the like location.
So because you meet the spirit and intent even though they
don't have you in the list, aw. Obviously you meet the
qualification you can go. Now listen, that doesn't mean
they could throw you in jail. If all they want to do is
interpret it that way. But I'm telling you, you do have
a legal standing. I said I'll take that.
So my diplomacy changed. At that point.
I'm like I'm not leaving. I didn't leave so that point
went to the congregation. Told them went back to zoning on
Monday, handed them, their own zoning and I said, told them
this whole thing that I just said with and they said we've
never interpreted it that way. I said, well, I'm in the
business of changing people's thinking, right?
This was diplomacy. This is not me getting mad.
This is not me saying, well, I guess God didn't call me to st.
Augustine. Cause it didn't work.
Out are, you know, I'm going to go to another community.
Like most pastors do when they hit their first trial in a
community because it's been three great years.
And maybe I'll go plant a church somewhere else.
No, I just listen to the king. At that point, they realize well
that could be a challenge for us because I gave them a federal
law that then they went to their County attorney about.
So they came back to me and says you know what, we're suggesting
that you do a major modification and that is you get your name
added to the list. I said well I can do that.
That's no problem. I'm doing diplomacy.
I have no problem doing that if that's if that's what we need to
do. That's no big deal to me.
I mean legally. I know I don't have to Do this,
but we'll do this. That's okay.
It's an application fee. Be $1500.
I said, why am I paying $1500 that I'll legally don't have to
do the thing in the first place? I understand.
So, Pastor us is our suggestion that you fill out the
application and then you ask for a waiver Right.
Okay, I'll ask for a waiver fun. So I had to go before the board,
the five power seats, right? Of the county for doing major
modification to get my name added to a list.
I don't have to get attitude but this is diplomacy.
You understand. I didn't go like I don't have to
do it and I'm not and we going to do to church.
And then y'all bring it along. How stupid is this?
I could have been in the paper that way.
But God was doing more for anchor features.
The way I was doing it. Because I was doing it the Kings
Way. Well, I get up there and they
said, just tell him you're your new church.
You don't have a whole lot of money.
That's what they wanted me to say that.
Was their counsel to me. Okay.
So I got up there and I told them, you know, I said I'm, you
know, I'm doing major modification.
So we can be here to get Church, add it to the list, you know, we
are church and we're asking for an exemption, you know, from
having to pay it, I didn't tell them, we were broke because we
weren't I said, but, you know, if that's not enough, I have
more information that I could share now, step back and one of
the County attorneys say, we'll go ahead and tell your
information. I said there's a federal law by
the name boom. And I just went off like a
lawyer literally, I mean I had anointing for that.
Hit me and they're all like looking at each other like this
and they looking down the county attorney.
And the County Attorney is looking like this and going So
after that, they're like will waive your fee and then move
the. So I had to go to shoot up,
easy, a which is Planning and Zoning agency.
I gotta go before 10 people. Now just so that I can get
people and then they can put it in a paper.
Because if anybody has a problem becoming we want the public on
this stuff, that's fine. This is diplomacy, no problem.
Went to the ten, all ten of them say we approved.
We recommend that you be there and they add you to the less
unanimous. Went back to the cow the board.
Now all the while I am in the building but you know what the
Hostile nation is doing, they're still trying to create conflict
and one of the conflict is your an assembly, that's your, that's
your occupancy and you are in a Mercantile.
And the spaces were designed for Mercantile.
And the fire rating of a wall in between Mercantile is only one
hour, but you've got to have a to our firewall.
Now, the building them back which was 3,400 square feet.
It was separated from the building, which made it a four
hour fire rating. So, I could come out of 7,000.
Squeeze us into three and did that.
Why we put up, she trots, three layers, deep on the other side.
In the building. Where no one was in.
There was no other tenants. We were the only ones in the
building but this is diplomacy. What is this?
This is, I understand your rules and regulations.
I have no problem with it, even though this is a little bit
asinine, No problem. Because at the end of the day,
God wants us to have peace. I don't want to be considered a
jerk. Like most Christians.
Get so we're putting three layers of sheet, rock on one
wall. That was pretty awesome.
We negotiated with that because they have offices connected were
like, man, we have to tear that uh, I'm giving you all of it
right now. It's very difficult.
Unless you have never heard this, but they allowed us to do
three layers. Only on one side, to meet the
rating, I got it completed. Wanted them to inspect.
How to guess minister in. Okay, but they didn't make the
inspection, they didn't come. So my conscience wouldn't let me
do it in the church, so I held a service outside. because at the
end of the day, I'm not in this case, the diplomacy is Wait, for
the inspection. So they came the next week
inspected. We moved into the space.
I had to go back before the board.
And at that point, we had one person have public comment.
Have you seen their website? You know what, all they're going
to do. They're going to just out of
dada. Dada da, I'm says, I said sir,
we're Beginning church. I said, most of the stuff in our
vision could never be in this location.
This is definitely temporary. You know, we're going to be here
for season then, we're going somewhere else lo and behold.
They didn't know we were going to the mall and going to take
it. Hallelujah.
I was right when I said this one, big enough lo and behold
they didn't know if they had only no you know I didn't put
that the website we taking them all.
I didn't do that. I didn't know at that time
anyway. Four out of five said we should
be there. We should be there.
So we got our pass. Now here's a sad story but true
the one that said no State hostile towards the church.
And the King took it personal. Six months later, they were
caught embezzling money. They were thrown in jail and
within two years, they committed suicide in there.
Probably should have said, yes. You David said, Mana?
I mean, the Bible talks about you don't want to be around an
Angry. God, you don't want to be in his
Wrath. Right now guys, when it came to
covid diplomacy was different. Because I had our government
come to me and say we need you to keep the preschool open.
In this building, okay? Because nurses in Flagler are
dropping their kids off at your preschool.
Nurses that are dealing with covid patients are dropping
their kids off in our preschool? Yes.
Okay, we need you to stay open. Okay, we're going to clean but
we don't want the church. I said nah.
It's not going to happen. I can clean this facility Monday
through Friday kids, who are going home with moms that have
been around covid in a hospital. And you're going to act.
Like I can't take care of my congregation on a Sunday and
Wednesday but I diplomatically we did do compromise.
I shut down the Mighty Men. Monday meetings, we didn't do
any extra stuff like what kingdom Institute?
We didn't do that. We might have kept Kingdom
Minister because it was small number.
We did do that. But we only did our Sunday
Wednesday night service Kingdom Institute nithin else we did.
So that was a diplomatic move. But you know what?
The Hostile Nation drove by custis, Al threatened us on
social media, they would kill us.
I had a higher security, literally Right?
Y'all remember that? But what happened at the end of
the day? It all negotiated out, God moved
on. Our governor ended up putting a
big push for the church in general.
We passed then the county attorney's that were involved
with me, his full circle, the County attorneys who were
involved with me during the very first occasion.
And I've gone in and done many permits since then, and I've had
them, say, I remember when you came in the first time, Will you
quit created quite a Ruckus? I was going to come to your
church but I was like, man, I don't know if people know I'm
going there because you shot you set waves.
So I did send waves my my kingdom sent waves.
Right. My kingdom.
So we're planning. Wow, what are we?
What are you gonna do? Our Sur.
We said, okay, we could take this outside.
No big deal. We are not forsaking the
assembly itself together. We going to do this.
So we had this plan of going outside.
We going to be here, this is going to happen.
This is going to happen the same day.
Our governor comes out and says, churches are essential right?
Which again, I don't need his approval, but I'm just saying,
God, did that at the end of the day?
Next thing, you know, we're calling the County Attorney
because we have a relationship, And we're like, what are you
doing with? What he said.
He said, man, we just got a hot off the press herself.
We're looking at it, right? So the County Administrator and
the County Attorney at the time, took it upon themselves, didn't
even ask wrote a letter and said, anchor Faith Church can
Assemble Lawfully based upon this order that he came out with
dada dada and we put it on the front door.
Yeah, put on the front door because our kingdom got into
diplomatic relations. Are you hearing me?
Are you hear me? This is how we have to fight.
If you can't even take care of yourself, God's not using you to
represent bigger things. But when you take care of
yourself, God will start allowing you to represent
different things. There are things we can do as
diplomats that will stop Nations.
I know our US government is not asking the church to pray about
what to do with China, but I don't need their authorization.
Because Rhema long before the wall fell down in Germany.
God it in the spirit, by Brother Hagin in.
Is that right? Pastor Daryl and they were
praying. Every meeting they went, they
were praying that the wall would come down.
What were they doing? They were using diplomacy.
They were fighting the battle where the battle was
principalities and powers and it moved things around.
So that a leader would actually get elected in our nation that
then took they natural diplomacy and says tear that Wall down and
the Wall came down, I'm telling you the church has to do the
same thing, we're against principalities and Powers the.
The bamboo curtain is what we call it when it's China has not
come down but we could make force by it again.
Sure we could nuke our whole place out, right?
We can have all kinds of bombers.
I don't have a problem with your natural show of force, but the
church could pray and crippled Nations, because, we know Elijah
prayed. So that, Rain would show up in
his own nation, and it crippled it.
So again but we're not even ask because we're not even being
diplomatic. Always trying to do is live our
best life now. Hallelujah, God's called, anchor
Faith Church. He said to my wife and I I'm
closing with this. he said, you'll be A forerunner Ministry
told me that now 4Runner Ministry is John the Baptist
I've always been drawn to the ministry of John the Baptist
because and that's why I love John 3:30.
I must decrease and he must increase.
C z. But he announced the coming
King. And I can't prove it.
But it seems that we're living in the last of the last days so
much. We know we are the closest to
the catching away of the church ever.
And could it be that anchor of a church literally is the
Forerunner who right now? And st.
Augustine Valdosta. India soon, Managua another one
in Lyon and Porta-Potty platter Dominican Republic.
Chicago, Connecticut, maybe at some other time as well and who
knows at other locations. Those Ministries those that
church anchor of a church is going to Herald the kingdom.
John the Baptist message was repent for the Kingdom of Heaven
is at hand. Do you believe the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand again? And I believe the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand again and that we could be living In the age
that timeframe right at the end. I mean we're in the age.
I'm talking about in that last of Le were the, we hear the
trumpet sound. So I'm telling you I don't know
how old you are but you should really try to hold out for 120
because think about it. If the Lord did come back in
2030 2035 2040 and you can make it to that.
Wouldn't you want to just be changed?
In the moment in the twinkling of an eye will not be amazing
because somebody's going to have that experience that's going to
happen, right? And I believe that this is the
Mandate that we have is to take our foundation of faith that we
receive from Rhema. And on top building on that the
kingdom of God, when I say Bill I'm talking rightly dividing the
word of Truth is what we learned at Rhema.
And And now we're preaching the kingdom of God.
That's what we're going to do, which means that he's assembling
ambassadors, and I'm going to tell you what, the last end time
Harvest looks like, are you ready for this?
It's not singing. It's not, it is churches having
people. But it's the reason they're
there is because you as ambassadors are going out laying
hands on the sick. Casting out Devils.
It's this ain't the pastor show, this ain't an apostle show, this
ain't an evangelist show, this is a saint show, it's the church
maturing, we're all of us realize we got a part to play in
his kingdom where ambassadors? And I can lay hands on this
front. I could be a diplomat in this
location right now and bring Heaven to Earth in this
environment. And when we're all doing that,
man that hostile territory is going to lose a lot of people.
We won't get them all but we know this your king will not.
Protect you. As long as you stay within your
assignment. I can't guarantee that you
wouldn't die. Paul knew he was going to die
but he couldn't die. Before it was Tom, same thing
with you, they try to kill him multiple times.
Wouldn't do it till it was Tom. Now most of us are not going to
go out being martyred, but I don't want to give fantasy and
think if you're an ambassador, you can never die.
I'm not saying that I am saying that they can't take you.
You would know that. That's how it's going to go and
you would say I have fought the good fight.
I've run the race. I've finished my course you
would know that but that's a minority.
Most of us are just going to live on and could be that we
never experience the grave. Hallelujah.
So you come to church, why to get the art and practice of
diplomacy? So that you're always led by the
spirit on how you're going to navigate around people and show
them the king. Thank you so much for listening
