In John chapter 12, verses 12 through 15, on the next day the
large crowd had come to the feast.
And when they heard that James Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
they took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him,
and began to shout Hosanna blessed.
Is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even even even the
king of Israel? Say the king.
Come on, say the king, come on, say the king.
Jesus, finding a young donkey sat on it as it is written.
Fear not. Daughter of Zahn, behold, your
king is coming. Seated on a donkey's colt.
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
I'm telling you, King is coming.
Your king is coming. Your king is coming.
So Zechariah 99, this is where this was quoted in the book of
John. Zechariah the prophet said this.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout and triumph.
O daughter of Jerusalem, behold, your king is coming to you.
He is Justin, endowed with salvation, humble and mounted on
a donkey, even a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Amen. So Jesus came into Jerusalem
that day fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah.
Zechariah communicated years before that the king would come
this way, and Jerusalem was recognizing Jesus as king.
Now, they didn't realize that he first had to come in the role of
laying himself down. We call that the suffering
servant as a, you know, term, and that's our term.
You got to understand that in the Bible, did Jesus suffer?
Was he a servant unto God? But I think we paint a picture
of suffering servant a little bit different than what the
Bible does, OK. He is the Lamb that is slain.
That is true. He is the Lamb of God.
He is the one to be sacrificed. That is true.
But you understand underneath that lamb is a lion.
I said underneath that lamb is a lion.
Are you hearing me? So you understand when Jesus is
moving, He's not moving only as a lion.
He knows he is the reigning king.
He knows He's there to do the work of a king.
He knows that he is to be raised up as the king so that he can
make other kings. Are you hearing me OK?
But he in order to have kings, he must die.
He must lay down his life. He said unless a grain of wheat
falls in the ground and die, it will remain alone.
But if it dies, it will produce after its own kind.
And Jesus Christ is the king. And when you are born again, you
are born after that kind, the king kind.
Say I'm the king kind, say I'm the king kind.
Amen. Now this kingship that is being
announced to him by the crowd and was prophesied about him
comes with an anointing. I said comes with an anointing
and we are anointed to reign. Jesus is anointed to reign.
This is not a self-proclaimed, it comes because of the
anointing. Are you hearing me?
In Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says you know of Jesus of
Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with
power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who
are oppressed by the devil. For God was come on, what was
he? So you know how Jesus of
Nazareth, how who anointed him, who anointed him?
Come on, who anointed him? God anointed him how?
With the Holy Ghost, I said with the Holy Spirit.
So here's Jesus, the Son of God, not born of man, but born of the
Spirit, born of a virgin, comes into the earth.
The man who knew no sin. He is perfect without sin,
spotless, blameless, his life is perfect.
He fulfills the law to every cross, T to every I dotted.
Yet he is anointed by the Spirit.
He does not do it in his own inward character or being.
He does it because of the anointing.
He has emptied himself of his heavenly kingship.
He has come into the earth to function as a man and God always
intended man to function under the anointing.
I said under the anointing, man was never designed to reign or
function in life separated from the Holy Spirit.
I said separated from the Holy Spirit.
So we have to understand this day of Pentecost is a pivotal
day or this moment in time that we record in Acts Chapter 2 is
not about what most people are thinking the Holy Spirit is
about. And we need to correct a few
things today because when you correct a few things today, you
will do a better job at flowing with the Spirit.
Many things are hindered by for the Spirit because of our motive
to use the Spirit again. Doctor Miles Monroe says when
you don't know the purpose of a thing, abuses are inevitable.
I said they are inevitable. In fact, the Bible tells us not
to grieve the Holy Spirit, which tells us he can be grieved.
Now, that doesn't mean he's technically offended.
He's just grieved now. You can't offend him if you, you
know, do things against the word of God for sure, right?
And then he'll hold you accountable to those actions.
But ultimately we have to cooperate with him.
Amen. And Jesus Christ cooperated with
the Holy Spirit. Now in Luke chapter 4, Jesus
himself says this starting in verse 18, He says the Spirit of
the Lord is upon me because He anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor. He sent me to proclaim release
to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind.
He sent me what? He sent me what set he to set he
he sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of
sight to the blind, to set free those who are pressed to
proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, sat down,
and the eyes of all the congregation were fixed on him.
And he began to say to them today, say today this scripture
has been fulfilled in your hearing.
When did this event take place? Matthew chapter 3 in Matthew
chapter 3 verse 13, then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the
Jordan, coming to John to be baptized by him.
But John tried to prevent him saying, I have need to be
baptized by by you and do you come to me.
Let me just say this, you have need to be baptized by him.
You have need, You have need to be baptized by him.
Are you hearing me? John said.
I'm baptized with water, but he who is coming, he'll baptize
with the Holy Spirit and fire. And John knew you.
He had need. And you know a lot of people
today. Will.
Profess Jesus as Lord, but do not think they have a need to
have the Holy Spirit come upon. You have need, you have need.
And here's the cool thing, God shall supply all your according
to his riches and glory, so He will meet you at the needs you
have. And you have need.
I said you have need. You need more than just an
inward witness. You need the Holy Ghost to come
upon. You you have need.
You have need so he says, look, I have need to be baptized by
you. Do you come to me?
But Jesus answers say permitted at this time, right?
For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all
righteousness. And that says I'm doing what is
written of me. After being baptized, Jesus came
up immediately from the water and behold, the heavens were
open and he saw the Holy, the Spirit of God.
That's the Holy Spirit descending as a dove.
It's not a bird, it's like one. It's not a bird.
It's like 1. OK, so again, as you would have
to watch a video and see how a dove starts to descend before it
lands, then you would get an imagery of what then the Spirit
of God looked like as it was coming down upon Jesus.
OK, it's not a bird. It was like, OK, all right.
So he goes on and says this and behold, a voice out of heaven
said, this is my beloved, what and whom I am.
I'm well pleased. Now this moment is so
significant because when you only know the Bible from Genesis
chapter 3, the fall to Revelations chapter 20, where
the devil is thrown into the lake of fire or into the
bottomless pit really, Or we could really just say when Jesus
comes back and that's we kind of stopped there anyway, most of us
in our thinking. Well, then you missed this
moment. You missed this moment because
this moment has Kingdom consequence.
This moment is everything about the Kingdom of God.
It is everything about the. Kingdom of God.
I said it's everything about the Kingdom of God.
In order for you to understand this, you would have to trace
some things back into the old covenant to understand this
moment. We know in Genesis chapter one
verse 26, God said let us make man in our image according to
our likeness and let him have what dominion or rule.
So man's purpose was not to have a religion called Christianity.
Man's purpose was to reign in the earth as God reigns in his
realm and they would work together.
And the Spirit of God was the connection between the two
realms. Are you hearing me?
Because when he breathed on him to receive the spirit in him,
then he had the Holy Ghost. Adam himself was clothed in
glory, his body was, was glorified in the sense that it
would not die because the only thing that would cause death in
his life was disobedience. Are you hearing me?
And so he placed him in the garden, said you can eat of any
tree of the garden, right? And and he said, unless you eat
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for the day you
eat, you will surely what, die. So if Adam had never eaten the
fruit, he would still be here today, ruling and reigning, and
his offspring with Eve would be of that kind.
Are you hearing me? However, unfortunately, Adam ate
the fruit, rebelled or abdicated his throne, gave his dominion
over to the devil, and man fell. Fell.
So sin is a result of disobedience to God.
OK And so God in turn then is trying to re establish his
Kingdom on the earth and that's what he's doing.
When man fell, when he comes in the garden, he says, Adam, what
have you done? Then he talks with Eve.
Then he gets to the surfing and he says I'm going to bring my
seed born of the woman and he's going to crush your head.
In essence, I'm going to I got another seed that can redeem
mankind and put him back in his position to reign, put him back
in that position. Are you hearing me?
So from there, God is still trying to show the world his
rule. All the while this is throughout
the Bible and we see this occur with Abraham when he makes a
covenant with him. He says I'll make you a father
of many nations, right? Not religions.
He says I'll make you, I'll have you blessed.
You'll be a blessed nation. Whoever blesses you, be blessed.
Whoever curses you, be cursed. Y'all with me this morning.
OK, so with that being said, we see that God gives birth.
Abraham gives birth to Isaac, Isaac give birth to Jacob.
Jacob wrestles with the Lord. He has a name change called
Israel and that nation is in the earth today.
It would. It would bid you well to watch
how you speak about that nation even in its sin.
It would bid you well how you speak to that nation, 'cause
even when God turned on His own nation because of their
disobedience, He never allowed the nation that overtook them to
revel in it. In fact, He even expected that
they would have sorrow for what had happened to that nation and
anyone that did not. God ultimately destroyed the
nation that was used to correct His nation because they got into
disobedience. And God has said that nation
will be forever and it will always be here.
Let me tell you this, Israel will never leave planet earth.
There will never come another time that that lamb will be
overtaken by another nation. It will never happen.
The time has happened before,
but in 1948 that nation has come back and that generation that
was born then will see the king return.
Their king will come. I said their king will come.
Now you understand that God is functioning as a king over this
covenant with Abraham. But the people were rebellious.
So in First Samuel chapter 8, they rebel against God once
again and say we want to see our king.
All the nations can see their king.
We cannot. We want a man to be our king.
So the Lord says, and you can look this up yourself.
First name of chapter 8, verse six.
The Lord says, Samuel, give the people what they want.
For they've not rejected me you, but they've rejected me as their
king. They give him Saul because
that's what the people pictured as a strong man king.
But in order for Saul to take the position, God had to 1st
anoint him. Are you hearing me?
He had to anoint him. I said he had to anoint him.
And in doing so, MO, I mean, Samuel took oil, which is an Old
Testament type of the Holy Spirit, and poured it upon
Samuel's head so that it would run down him.
It's not in him, but it came upon him.
I'm going to say that again. It's not in him.
It came upon him. It's very important because it's
not what's in Saul that makes him king, it's what's upon him.
Now let me bring it over to the New Testament.
Yes, you may be born of God and the Spirit of God is in you to
bear witness that you are a child of God, but the Spirit in
you is not enough for you to reign as king in this life.
You're going to have to have the Spirit upon you, not just in
you, because again, you can be a child of God and abdicate your
responsibility to rule. Are you hearing me?
So this moment in Matthew is God declaring to the world.
Is God the Father King of all creation?
Yeah. The Psalms tell us in 47 and in
24 that the earth, the Lord, is the king of all the earth.
So the Father sits on a throne. Thrones are in kingdoms, not
religions. Jesus used to sit at his right
hand during, you know, prior to this time, but he's left
heaven's realm. He's come to the earth, enclosed
himself as a man. Why?
Because a man had dominion. It requires man to recover that
dominion. That's why Jesus has to come
back. You need to understand this.
God loves you personally, there's no doubt, but the reason
He loves you personally is because He views you through the
purpose He has for man. Come on, He's coming not just
for you personally, He's coming first because He spoke that this
was the position man would be and he had to provide a way so
that you could get back in it. God is always first fulfilling
His Word. So when we sometimes think I am
the most important person in God's mind, that is not.
True. The Word is the most important
thing in God's mind. I said the Word because if He
fulfills the Word, it opens the door for you.
I said it opens the door for you, and He's not going to
violate His Word for you. He's not going to do it, I said.
He's not going to do it. He's not going to violate his
word. Now he may do an amendment to
get you out of the trouble you're in and pay a price so you
can get back in good standing, but he's not going to violate
his word for you. Are you hearing me?
So there are many that are born of God and by right are in the
King's house. I could say it this way.
In fact, Paul said a child that's born in the royal
bloodline and a servant to the royal bloodline.
When they're children, they're no different.
They're no different. No, it's not until they get to
the place after the training. That then they get into the seat
and you take the seat after the anointing.
Look, we see this in our history book.
David is king of all of Israel, but he has a lot of sons.
He has a lot of sons. Are you hearing me?
And there were some self-proclaimed, but they
weren't from God. And self-proclaimed kings don't
make it on the throne, but the one who was anointed got the
right to rule. Now here's the cool thing.
In God's Kingdom, we all get the right to rule.
Woo Hallelujah because you understand, it's not like, oh,
Pastor Earl has the anointing and everybody is following me.
You're not following me. You have an anointing and you're
following the Holy Ghost like I'm following the Holy Ghost.
And on our family, yes, we have a chain of command, but
ultimately, as we are yielding to the the Spirit of God and
walking and loving unity, then that power and that rule and
that reign in our lives individually, corporately shows
up and does something extremely significant.
So when God said, this is my beloved son, in whom I'm well
pleased? It is an announcement to all the
earth. I am the king of all creation.
This is my son, and he's taking the seat of power on the earth.
Here's. My anointing when David was
anointed that his king, Did all of Israel see it?
No, no they did not. You know who saw it?
The brothers and dad. But did they recognize the
anointing on his life later? Yes, they did.
I'm saying the event itself was, not.
Out for everyone to see, but the evidence that it was upon him
showed up in the way he reigned in his life.
Are you hearing me? My point is, is that there is a
public anointing that has to occur.
Oh, you. Don't want to hear this?
There is a public anointing that is occurring, and God had a
public anointing with Jesus. Now not all of Israel saw the
Spirit come upon him, but John did.
I'm going to give you 7 witnesses to Jesus's kingship. 7
witnesses to Jesus's kingship. This is very important because
the day of Pentecost is not about power to perform miracles.
It includes it. But that's not why we got it,
and that's not why God Jesus got it.
Jesus received the anointing upon.
For kingship. The right to rule in essence,
the Father said because Jesus is known as the second Adam or the
last Adam. The first Adam was anointed of
God to reign on the earth. He abdicated his throne, gave it
over to the devil. That's why the devil and the
temptation of Jesus in the I believe it's the Luke account
chapter 4 says all this domain I'll give you for it's been
handed over to me and I can give it to whomever I wish.
He received it from Adam. So the Lord saying this is my
second Adam are my last Adam and I'm anointing him and he and
Jesus will never lose the throne.
Glory to God. I said he'll never lose the
throne. So here are 7 witnesses of Jesus
being the Messiah or the King. The first one is the Father.
The Father it says in John chapter 5 verse 37 it says in
the Father who sent me he has. Testified of me.
You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form
has Jesus. Oh yeah.
And we know again here in in the Matthew account, the voice from
heaven, the Father says this is my beloved son in whom I am what
in essence he's saying this is the king of the earth.
Here's the king of the earth, Earth.
Here's your king, Earth. Not, not United States, not the
United States, let me say that. Not Christianity, Earth.
Here's your king. Now it's your choice to
accepting 'cause He's king. Nonetheless, Jesus himself, the
Son, testifies of his kingship in John chapter 8 verse 14.
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I testify about myself,
my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and I know
where I'm going, but you do not know where I came from or where
I am going. Jesus later on in John chapter
18 told. Pilate, when Pilate says, are
you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said, did somebody
tell you about me, or did you learn this on your own?
And he goes, look, I'm not from your nation.
Your chief priests handed you over me.
What have you done? He said, now look, my Kingdom.
So then he goes on and he says, so you are king.
And Jesus says, you say correctly that I am a king and
for this. Purpose this, 'cause I have come
to the earth, Amen. Is Jesus the king?
I said, is he the king? Is he the Messiah?
Hallelujah. In fact, the woman at the well
came to him and said, you know the Messiah, the King's coming.
You know when there's a debate on where we going to worship him
and he says, lady, who you looking for is right in front of
your face right now, Amen. He first revealed his kingship
to the woman. Glory to God, Hallelujah.
The third person that testifies of his kingship is the Holy
Spirit, John 1526 says, And when the helper comes, I will send
whom I will send to you from the Father.
That is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father.
He will testify about me. He will testify about me.
So the Holy Spirit is talking to you about the King.
That's what he's talking to you about, the king.
This is the word of the king. This is what the king wants you
to do. This how the king wants you to
respond. Why does he do this?
Because he says, listen, you're an ambassador.
You are a king of the King, and this is how you are to represent
His Kingdom. So he instructs us, He teaches
us, He shows us our royal bloodline, He gives us
instruction, He trained changes us, He renews our mind so that
we will function as kings in the earth.
Jesus was anointed to reign so that we could be anointed to
reign as well. All right.
The 4th one is the written word, the written word, things that
were passed on through the law and the prophets, and it says in
Luke 2427. Then beginning with Moses and
with all the prophets, he explained to them the things
concerning himself in All in all the Scripture.
Jesus like. You didn't see that there, did
you? That's me there.
Yeah, that's me there. Yeah, that's me there.
And man, when you understand it's the Kingdom, then it's
everywhere, is it not? I mean, you can't Unsee it when
you see it. Now if I say Kingdom and you
think heaven, then you didn't see it.
Because kingdom's not heaven. Heaven is heaven and earth is
earth. Kingdom's in both, right?
How do we know this? Well, what's the prayer?
The Lord's Prayer, we say. We say it's the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father whose father? He's your daddy too.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your
Kingdom come, your will be on as it is.
So how can the Kingdom be done in the earth if it's only
heaven? So the Kingdom is not heaven.
The Kingdom is Kingdom, which is King's dominion.
It is the rule and reign of God. Hallelujah.
And that rule and reign is here. This is why our God is not
competing with the gods of this world, because he's not a
religion anyway. Our God is not even competing
with the nations of the world, 'cause they will bow, they will
bow. But the devil has raised up
nations to give us religion so that he can keep us blind from
the government that we actually already are part of right now.
And it is taking over the planet.
Hallelujah. And right now the Lord is doing
it peacefully. His weapons of warfare a lot
different, but He's doing it peacefully.
What do I mean by that? I mean, He's letting us go to
nations and just testify. But he'll come back and it won't
be so peaceful for those nations.
I said it won't be so peaceful. He will establish the rule, and
He's given them plenty of time by faith to yield.
Are you hearing me? So the written word testifies of
Jesus being king and man. We could go through Scripture
right now where we talk about the king.
Daniel saw the king Isaiah. Remember Isaiah Chapter 9, verse
six? He said a child will be born, a
son will be given, and the government shall rest on his
shoulders. Not a religion, not Christianity
as most people think of Christianity.
I mean, could we associate Christianity with all kinds of
churches, all kinds of things? And it's nothing of the Bible.
It is just religious exercise at best.
But when you understand the Kingdom, it's this Kingdom that
will come, this king who will establish his Kingdom.
And the Bible says he'll have no end.
Daniel saw this Kingdom come, that it would be a rock made
without hands. Who was that rock?
Jesus is? And it would fill the whole
earth. Divine works testify of his
kingship. I said divine works testify of
this kingship. That's number five John chapter
10 verse 23 Jesus answers said I told you and ye believe not the
works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness of me.
The works he did were to bear witness that the kingdoms here.
What did Jesus say? He said if I cast out a devil
with the finger of God, you. Know the kingdoms here.
So again, the miracle signs and wonders were not so people would
be impressed with Jesus's power. When I say power, I'm going to
I'm saying it right now in the term that most believers,
especially on the day of Pentecost, accepted as and that
is miraculous power. Jesus did not become anointed of
the Holy Spirit for miraculous power because the miraculous
power was there to communicate the kingdoms here.
How do we know this is true? Well, we understand that Jesus
healed the sick, raised the dead, healed blonde eyes open
deaf ears, love the lame walk, cured leprosy.
I mean done so many amazing miraculous thing, multiplied
bread and fish. I mean he calmed the seas.
He spoke to trees and they died. I mean, this guy was amazing,
right? And he gets three years in the
ministry and people are what, holding on to the miraculous.
I want to see the miraculous power, Jesus, Jesus.
I want to see the miraculous power in Jesus life.
Not even going to do a miracle no more.
You missed the point, he said. You're a perverse and wicked
generation. All you do is seek, and you're
missing the sign. The sign was not.
Look at the miraculous power I have.
The sign was the Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here, the
Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.
The Kingdom is here, the Kingdom is here.
You've missed the Kingdom. So I'm not even going to do a
miracle now in your city. So he takes one guy that's blind
out of the city. In order to heal, Heal because
I'm not doing it in front of you anymore.
Because you don't know what this anointing on me is actually for.
You don't even know you've missed it.
John testifies of his kingship. John 134.
He said, I this is the apostle John.
I myself have seen and have and have testified that this is.
The Son of God. Are you hearing me?
And then the 7th and again the Bible says let everything be
confirmed by two or three witnesses.
We just gave you 7. Jesus is the King, I said.
Jesus is the King. The disciples #7 the disciples,
John 2124. This is the disciple who was
testifying to these things and wrote these things.
And we know that his testimony is true.
We know that his testimony is true.
Remember Peter after he had to stand in front of the religious
leaders after the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus, after
Peter received his kingship? I'm going to say that again.
After Peter received his kingship, after Peter received
his kingship, he's standing before religious religion and
says, if I am here today because of what's happened to a man at a
gate, let it be known that the Christ you crucified.
Jesus. It's by his power and His power
alone that this miracle has been performed.
Are you hearing me? And they recognized that these
men, though untrained in the religious way, had been with
what Jesus 'cause they were modeling his Kingdom attributes.
In essence, you think that you've killed him, you know he's
come back, you're lying to everybody, that he was raised,
you know, the stone was rolled away and you know, you've paid
off the soldiers to spread a lot, that we have stolen him and
we are communicating propaganda. But you know, he lives because
he spoke that he lives. And what you don't know is that
he died and rose so that not only could he reign, but we
could reign as well. So you didn't stop the Kingdom
from being here 'cause you killed the king?
Cause the king didn't stay dead. You didn't realize you played
into the King's hand. He wanted to die so that I could
be sent like him. I could get into the earth like
him. I could do the worst he did.
I could say what he could say. I could be anointed to reign
just like he is. Oh gosh.
Look what it says here in Isaiah 11 one through 4 it says, then a
shoot will spring forth from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from
his roots will bear fruit. The spirit of the Lord will rest
upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and strengthen, the spirit of knowledge and the fear
of the Lord. Man, can you see in verse 2?
All that comes upon you on the day of Pentecost.
What we want to do is celebrate. Get into power and we don't even
know this is about kingship. We're receiving more than just
the power to demonstrate the kingdoms in the earth causing in
God's Kingdom. There is no sickness.
In God's Kingdom, there is no lack in God's Kingdom there is
no imperfection. In God's Kingdom, there is no
depression. In God's Kingdom, there is no
demonic bondage in his Kingdom. So every time we function.
And we cast out a devil we lay hands on.
We're saying the kingdom's here, that this realm, this earth,
although it is not where it needs to be, but know this, the
kingdom's here, it's influences here.
It's yeast. It's in the earth, and you're
not. Not going to stop it.
You're not going to stop it. Why?
Because I've been anointed with the same anointing that my king
has. So on the day of Pentecost, when
we celebrate the baptism of the Holy Ghost, one thing that we do
is we sensationalize tongues, when tongues in love itself is
just the language of the Kingdom.
Again, I've done it time and time again, not going to do it
today, but I could bring people up here right now.
I could bring someone that could speak Albania, who could speak
Greek, who could speak Spanish right now, and they could speak
to you in those prospective languages and nobody would say
it's of the devil. So why in the world do we think
God doesn't have a language? Obviously does.
Now the cool thing about God is he doesn't require you to have
to understand it in your mind to speak it.
That's what's amazing is the Lord's life.
Just yield, say it your mind don't know it, but release what
I'm saying because I hear it, I understand it and it's my
perfect will. And the devil don't know it and
he can't understand that communication.
But it releases my angels. It releases my purpose.
It releases my. Will so speak it out and then
it'll build up your most holy faith knowing that this life is
not the life you are here to live because you're not of this
world. It gives me this context that I
am disconnected from this natural realm.
I am reminded man I'm not my own when I pray in the spirit.
Thank God I am of the God kind. Are you hearing me?
But the it's not about the tongues, nor is it just about
the power of miraculous or what we call the access of the gifts
of the Spirit. Because guess what the Holy
Spirit will bring? He'll bring a spirit of wisdom
and understand how can you have an anointing upon your life and
be so silly and allies we're incapable of mind renewal.
Come on. Come on.
'Cause there's nothing worse than a foolish king.
Nothing worse. And the Holy Spirit came upon
you. He's in you to bear witness with
your spirit. You're a child of God.
He come upon you to bring power. And one of the powers he brings
is to eradicate thought so that you'll think like a king.
He'll give you wisdom and understanding in essence, He
comes upon me in such a way that now I get to reign over my
emotions that despair upon me. Lets me say, I don't care how
you feeling right now, suck it up.
Hold the tears back. We're not crying over this deal.
We going to find out what the King says.
We going to get our mourning into gladness.
We going to get our doubt into faith.
We going to get our fear into faith.
We going to get our hatred over into love.
We going to get our lust under control and we going to move.
Why? Because.
We reign now. Now we have a reigning spirit
upon us. We have been anointed to reign
in every aspect of our life. There is no wringing of the
hands. Oh, what are we going to do?
Lord, You have come upon me, which means You have brought to
me the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
You have given me the spirit of counsel and strength.
I mean how you have given me the spirit of what knowledge and the
fear of the. How in the world could an
anointed king, when the anointing comes upon them, think
that they could be playing in the devil's backyard?
And God, there's no consequence with God, 'cause when this fear
comes upon you, then the fear of the Lord is present.
We're all of a sudden you're like I.
Don't want to do anything that is going to disgrace my king
that would cause bad family name that would look make me
disqualified. So this branch that came from
Jesse which is Jesus when the Spirit descended upon him in
Matthew chapter three, he received the Spirit of wisdom,
understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge and the fear
of the Lord. That's why Jesus said I will not
do anything that he has not told me to do period.
That's why he'll look at some of his closest companions and say
your mind is wrong Peter, it's set on the devil.
I will not listen to that thought.
I will do the will of my Father. Sorry you don't understand, and
that's not being callous. That is the.
Fear of the Lord, How would I ever compromise my walk with my
father? Because you just don't
understand. But I'm praying for you.
I'm praying for you. Oh Hallelujah, He goes on to say
in verse three. And he will delight in the fear
of the Lord. He delights.
In it, man, we need to learn to delight.
In the fear of the Lord, delight in it because we have been
anointed. He was anointed to reign, which
means this anointing gave him a delight to the fear of the Lord.
That doesn't mean he's afraid of God, that God's going to beat
him down. No, he's like, I have such a
reverence in awe and respect and honor for my father and that his
ways are life. His way of my life is worth
laying. I trust him emphatically for his
plan. And even when he was in the
garden, said Dad. Is there another way to do it?
Because at the end of the day, we have never in all eternity up
to this point that I'm in time on the planet.
Been separated and. If there's really another way,
man. But if not, your will be done.
In essence, is there a ram caught in the thicket?
Dad, Abraham didn't have to kill his son.
Is there something on the other side of this mountain that I
don't see? And the father says, son, it was
always you, that it was always you.
But it's all right, because I told you in three days I will
free you. Hallelujah, Lord, it says.
Then based upon this anointing, look what this anointing did.
He delighted in the fear of the Lord, and he will not judge by
what he his eyes see. Nor make a decision by what his
ears hear, but with righteousness he will judge the
poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth.
And he will strike the earth how?
With the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he
will slay the wicked. What does that mean?
The minute the king releases his word, this is what takes place.
If you obey me, this is what takes place.
If you don't, they are in the earth.
If you choose life, you live. If you choose death, He will
slay you because he will do what he said.
He will do so. When the anointing came upon
him, not only did he give him wisdom, understanding, counsel,
strength, knowledge, the fear of the Lord, but it caused him to
not judge by what he saw or what he heard.
He was not led by sight, ever. He had a direct connection to
the Ruler, his Father. This is how he functioned on the
earth. This is how he lived.
This is why everything he said is just, is right.
This is why when he made calculations about religious
people and called them hypocrites, he was right,
although they talked about him in the back rooms.
He knew their thoughts, He understood their ways, and he
judged justly. Well, it's amazing how we think
we know stuff. Ah, but God knows, I said.
God knows. We've said it before.
Well, the Lord knows my heart. You bet he does.
You bet He does. And you are not faking it with
your mouth. That's it.
That's. It.
No, you're not. Hallelujah.
So with that being said, Revelation chapter 19, this is
good news, guys. I said this is good news.
Come on. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
It's the day of Pentecost. But you got to understand the
anointing the the Holy Spirit coming upon is the King's
anointing. It's to anoint you in kingship,
he says. And I saw heaven.
Open. And behold a White Horse,
Hallelujah. And I saw heaven opened, and I
saw a White Horse. And he who said on it is called
faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and
wages. Do you know our king will wage a
war? His eyes are a flame of fire,
and on his heads are many diadems, and he has a name
written on him which no one knows except himself.
He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called
the Word of God. And the armies which are in
heaven, what do they dress like? Sure don't look like what our
natural armies look like. They are clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. No camo.
The enemy going to know we are coming.
Come on now, you going to know we coming.
Now they may not see us initially in the cloud because
we camo there, but once we break and I don't know, maybe the Lord
split the clouds and be all blue and they'll think we bunch of
clouds till we show up. But once we hit the planet,
they're going to be like, well, there they are.
They're white. They'll probably say, oh,
they're wearing white, They're giving up.
No, not us. It says in the armies are which
are in heaven clothed and fine linen, white and clean were
what? Following him on white horses,
and his mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it he may
strike what the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of
iron, and he will he treads the winepress of the fierce wrath.
Of God the Almighty, and on his robe and on his thigh he has a
name written, King of Kings and Lord.
Oh Lord, who are those kings? Who are those kings?
Listen.
We are those kings right now, today.
And the reason why the Holy Spirit came on the day of
Pentecost was not so that you could be endued with miraculous
power alone, so that you could speak in a language that nobody
knew. No, it came upon you so that you
would receive the same anointing.
Jesus had I close with this verse John chapter 20 verses 21
and 22. He said this, he said to them,
so Jesus said to them again, peace be with you as the Father
sent me, I also send you and and when he had said this, he
breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit.
So he's saying, listen, you can't go like you are.
So in this passage we see that Jesus saw the new birth
experience with the disciples because they said Jesus was
Lord. Then he gathers them together in
Acts chapter one, verse three. And as he pulls them together,
he presents himself alive after his suffering.
Many convincing proofs appearing to them over a period of 40 days
and Speaking of things concerning the Kingdom of God.
Then gathering together, he commanded them, Don't leave
Jerusalem, he said. Don't leave, he said, but wait
for what the Father has from now.
He's already breathed on them in an upper room or in a room now,
he says don't go nowhere, but you're going to receive power
not too many days from now from the Holy Ghost, John says.
I need for you to baptize me because John knew you anointed
me, makes me a king in your Kingdom.
The reason why so many people are missing out on all the Holy
Ghost wants is because they want the Spirit of God and the power
of God so they can lay hands on the sick.
They get healed and take credit for it so that they can be known
as the great healing evangelist, the great prophet who gives the
words and knowledge and everyone should flock to them.
And they're like, but I've been in do with power.
The Holy Ghost has come upon me. You're like, you don't even know
what the Holy Ghost is upon you, for He's upon you so that you
would reign in this life and in reigning as a king, then you
would demonstrate. The qualities of the Kingdom,
which happened to cast out devils, heal the sick, raise the
dead, prophecy, speak words of knowledge, speak words of
wisdom, disclose things to come, discern spiritual things that
just comes because that's part of Kingdom access.
And the reason why I have is because I'm the child of a king
and I've been anointed as king. That's why I have the anointing
not to show off. Not so that you'll come to me
and think I have power. No, I'm nothing.
Anything that I am is because of the king.
It's because of the king. And the king said I don't want
you going around this planet unless you're functioning like I
did. And I didn't have my first
witnessing. I didn't even.
Preach once until I was anointed king.
Are you hearing me? So here today you have need, I
said. You have need.
I said you have need. I said you have need.
You have need. Cause on the Day of Pentecost,
you have need. Yeah, come on.
And for many of you, I'm just going to say right now, you need
to. Tweak why you are anointed.
Because when we tweak why we're anointed, then God's going to
let the Kingdom flow through us more.
How do I know you got to tweak it 'cause you know, I hear it,
man. I was in such and such and I
laid hands on them and they got healed.
You know, I prayed for them and they.
Did that, I did this, I did that.
If you don't watch out, yes, it's through you.
It's happened. But if you don't watch out,
you'll start saying I I to the point that you'll feel like it's
you. If it weren't for the anointing,
I said. If it weren't for the anointing.
Right. No.
How do you know it's like? The Kingdom manifested this
weekend. Pastor Earl, how did that
happen? You know what?
The Lord by His Spirit led me to go do this and pray here, say
this. And his Kingdom manifested.
Keeps perspective, it keeps where you're like, don't look to
me, look to Him, don't look to me, look to him, 'cause I
didn't. I'm just a conduit, I'm just a
representative. It's his power, it's his
Kingdom, it's his glory, it's his.
It's all him. And when we function that way,
realize. So that's why I'm baptized in
the Holy Ghost. That's why.
Not so you can have goosebumps, not so you can fall down.
Not so that you can run super fast.
It's the only time you do exercise.
Are you hearing me? It's not so You Can Dance till
your clothes fall off. It's so you can represent the
Kingdom. It's so that the earth will
know. Now I wasn't there, but it's
obvious you reign. They weren't there.
When God anointed you, but you know you are and the world of
no. When you function as a king in
the earth that way, are you here?
