The Unshakeable Kingdom: Truth vs. Transaction

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_01]:
All right let's talk about the kingdom of God the kingdom unshakable I'm going to teach and preach today so get out your notes get out your pens but also I'm going to I'm going to preach a little right Luke chapter 9 let's talk about the kingdom because there's largely a misunderstanding of the kingdom of God when Jesus and we'll get into this he talks about the kingdom I think 54 times
[00:00:21] He talks about the ecclesia, the church, three times.
[00:00:24] When you get into the book of Acts, it begins to transition and Paul and those that write the rest of the New Testament begin to refer to the church more, but it's about the ecclesia and that's really important because you have to understand the kingdom of God starts in Genesis and if you don't know the history, you won't understand the kingdom of God.
[00:00:45] Now the Bible says that we perish because of what?
[00:00:48] Lack of knowledge.
[00:00:49] So what knowledge, lack of knowledge is there is blindness.
[00:00:54] It's darkness.
[00:00:55] And so ignorance is darkness.
[00:00:58] So when people are ignorant of something, they're living in darkness.
[00:01:01] But when the Word comes to you, that's the light of God.
[00:01:05] It brings revelation.
[00:01:07] And I just pray over you often.
[00:01:09] Ephesians chapter 1 is a great book to study for that.
[00:01:12] I like verse 7 all the way through 17 up in 17 you get in there that the Lord would give you the spirit of wisdom the spirit of understanding and the spirit of revelation I make that a prayer for me almost daily elder that God would give me the spirit of wisdom the spirit of understanding and the spirit of revelation
[00:01:33] because without understanding he says in all you're getting get what get understanding without understanding you'll never have wisdom you'll never have revelation if you don't live in a revealed place then you're perishing and your life is a sum product of the decisions you make so all every decision in your life
[00:01:51] brings a consequence now we like to blame the devil we like to blame other people we like to blame our situation or circumstance for why we are in the situation we're in but the reality is you're there because of a product of your decisions oh no you don't you don't understand is my mom is my dad i've got all this trauma i was abused and i was hurt and i was fired and this happened i'm a woman
[00:02:14] I'm black I'm white I'm fat that might be a decision thing right there but but every single situation come on because God God even came in agreement with you and decided on you for your perfection everything you are is perfect for the purpose that you are sent into you had to have hips and lips come on don't be ashamed of being a woman
[00:02:38] And I'm not talking to any men.
[00:02:39] We aren't into that DEI stuff around here, right?
[00:02:42] You had to have those.
[00:02:45] You had to be born as a male.
[00:02:48] You had to be sent into this time.
[00:02:50] You clocked into purpose, the intention of God.
[00:02:52] You have a supreme reason for being, and that is carried out in God's kingdom.
[00:02:56] So many of you think like you're living to do what?
[00:03:01] Die and get to heaven, right?
[00:03:02] How many of you?
[00:03:03] Because that's pretty much what was preached if you're about my age, if you're about my age, that I just can't wait to get to heaven.
[00:03:09] And there is a literal heaven, but it's a holding place.
[00:03:14] it's a holding place I'm gonna lose some of you right there because you're like what because there is a new Jerusalem there is a new earth you see from the very beginning God's plan was a kingdom and if you don't understand the basics of the kingdom then you're going to live in a certain amount of perishing darkness because this bible is all about a king and his kingdom
[00:03:43] and if you don't understand that you as sons and I won't get into it today but when he talks about the sons of God it's not gender specific there's two words for it ASA ASA there's two different words for it and it means builders it means sons just like when he calls the church the bridegroom it's not gender specific it doesn't mean the church is only for females sons aren't only males because in spirit there is no gender
[00:04:12] So when you're a son of God created in the image of God, it means that you're the energy of his essence.
[00:04:19] You're created in his likeness, his nature, his character, who he is.
[00:04:25] Oh, this is going to get too deep for you already.
[00:04:28] And so if you think you're just a girl that was born from Mississippi mud out of Tupelo, whose daddy committed suicide and was sexually and physically abused, then I miss my true identity.
[00:04:40] That was experiences I had, but that's not who I am.
[00:04:43] I am a son of God.
[00:04:46] I am the bridegroom.
[00:04:49] Now I'm taking on kingdom language.
[00:04:53] And all, not some authority, but all authority has been given to me.
[00:04:57] That means if death tries to conquer me, I have greater authority than it.
[00:05:01] If sickness tries to attach itself to me, I have greater authority than it.
[00:05:05] Come on, if poverty tries to rule me, I have greater authority than that.
[00:05:11] On the basis of the finished work of King Jesus.
[00:05:16] So when you begin to understand, now He calls Himself Son of Man,
[00:05:22] and Son of God and that's important because the son of man he is the king of the kingdom so while you're trying to get to heaven the plan of God was never for you to go to a holding place it was always for God to get heaven to the earth which will be the final destination and his citizens will rule with them now I've already blown some of your minds away and I did a good teaching we could say amen right there
[00:05:47] but if you don't understand that and that's a that is just a that is a archway that's there's a whole lot of meat to get in that sandwich but but I'm going to give you eight points today I'm going to give you eight things about the kingdom that are foundational for you to understand first let's start in Luke chapter 9 verse 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick this is talking about Jesus
[00:06:12] and when he when he's getting towards the end now he only preaches i think the cross one time right but he preaches the kingdom more than anything and when he sends his disciples out what does he send them to do what's he send them to do guys to proclaim or to preach i'll put king james up we're all getting that niv all right you he's him to proclaim or to preach same word proclaim or to preach the what the kingdom
[00:06:39] Now when we really hear, we can take the entire, say, scope of America, not even the world right now.
[00:06:48] which apparently 62% identify as Christian now we're going up Bible cells are up 22% young men and young people are coming to church like never before come on revival is taking place there's a reawakening and you're part of that but if we take all of that 64% and we sit we all were were set down with one big zoom
[00:07:12] And one big test on the basics of the kingdom.
[00:07:17] I bet less than 10% could get that, Johnny.
[00:07:21] Of really understanding.
[00:07:23] And yet, what did Jesus do?
[00:07:24] He sent all 12, 100%.
[00:07:26] So 100% of that 64 should know the kingdom.
[00:07:31] To do what?
[00:07:32] Proclaim.
[00:07:32] You're like, oh those are disciples.
[00:07:34] You're the same thing.
[00:07:34] I'll prove it probably today.
[00:07:36] because you're you're I'm gonna get ahead of myself so you're in the same one he sent his disciples to do what to proclaim the kingdom to proclaim the kingdom I'm so happy that Pastor Brad's teaching you on the kingdom and then they did what they healed the sick and they brought deliverance and everything else because that's all the proclamation of the kingdom when the kingdom is proclaimed it sets in motion the power of God
[00:08:06] and the Proclamation of the Kingdom brings forth manifest results.
[00:08:11] He didn't preach.
[00:08:13] Jesus didn't preach healing.
[00:08:15] Jesus didn't preach deliverance.
[00:08:18] Jesus didn't preach how to build a church.
[00:08:20] Jesus didn't preach, this one's funny, prosperity.
[00:08:25] they always say she's a prosperity preacher that's a pejorative like they think like if i say you give a dollar you get a dollar that's nonsense i said that's nonsense God is not a Santa Claus he's a good father when i worship him i might get all kinds of things like a seat on southwest next to my future husband
[00:08:51] That's a whole lot better than a dollar.
[00:08:55] That's better than a billion dollars, a trillion dollars.
[00:08:57] There's no money in the world that could buy this relationship because it's a God-ordained one.
[00:09:03] And whatever God's given you is better than all the money in the whole wide world.
[00:09:08] She's preaching good.
[00:09:10] So you cannot proclaim a kingdom that you don't understand.
[00:09:14] So let's get some understanding today.
[00:09:17] These eight foundational points that I'm going to share with you, I think, just begin to kind of bring the beginning.
[00:09:22] Are you ready?
[00:09:24] So you come on, guys.
[00:09:25] And at the end, here's where we're going.
[00:09:28] And I believe this.
[00:09:29] I don't know who I'm here for today, but I know God sent me on assignment and that freedom's coming to you today.
[00:09:35] Liberation's coming to you today.
[00:09:38] today is a day of jubilee for you and i'll explain that at the end because today chains are going to come off blinders are going to be removed curses are going to be broken and this is going to be your day of deliverance and that's where god's taken us whatever the enemies had that last little stronghold and you fought through hell this past week i'm telling you you're going to be so glad you're watching today you're going to be so glad you got into the house of god today because god's about to bring you total freedom i'm telling you so number one here's point number one
[00:10:08] the kingdom is at hand now that sounds funny but it's the first thing that Jesus preached Jesus came to establish more than a religion he was not here to establish religion he came to inaugurate a government now that's a complete different mindset let me tell you why it's so hard for Americans to understand kingdom concepts because a kingdom is not a democracy
[00:10:34] So we're a divided nation right now.
[00:10:36] 50% love President Trump, right?
[00:10:38] It depends.
[00:10:39] Sometimes it's 74.
[00:10:40] It depends on what they're polling, right?
[00:10:42] And then 50% apparently don't.
[00:10:44] So if it was Biden, it'd say, and sometimes they'd go down 30%, jump up.
[00:10:49] So, so pretty much we're just like around, around that 50% mark or so.
[00:10:53] Now his ratings are higher than that now.
[00:10:56] And people think he's doing a good job on certain issues.
[00:10:58] Amen.
[00:10:59] Doing a great job.
[00:11:00] I think he's doing an excellent job personally.
[00:11:03] But especially in that White House faith office, I think he's doing a real good job.
[00:11:08] Might be a little biased there.
[00:11:11] Having an excellent team.
[00:11:13] But this is important, guys.
[00:11:14] This is really important.
[00:11:16] Because a democracy gets to pick who's going to lead them.
[00:11:22] y'all don't even understand democracy we got to go a whole lot back come on a democracy let's just stay with your mayor over orange county then right now okay because too much for y'all to get into politics but it's not politics it's bible you and the people of orange county decide who your mayor is okay now those um authorities we're gonna shut you down on easter
[00:11:47] They were going to shut you down because you were having an Easter egg hunt along with hundreds of other churches.
[00:11:54] But they were picking on you.
[00:11:57] What's new, guys?
[00:11:59] You got to get a Charlie Brown.
[00:12:00] Now watch, they choose.
[00:12:02] And we settled that real quick.
[00:12:06] We settled that real quick.
[00:12:07] But you have authority.
[00:12:09] That would have been hilarious if Pastor Brad would have been handcuffed here and y'all didn't know what it was about.
[00:12:14] I'd be like, I was fighting for your kids to get Easter eggs!

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_00]:
I know that would have been hilarious.
[00:12:21] You wouldn't have even known what it was about.
[00:12:23] They would have been taking him out.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_01]:
I'd be like, yes, go Pastor Brad!
[00:12:27] Unless it's me, I'm going to be like, I never said nothing.
[00:12:32] But this is important, alright?
[00:12:33] Now...
[00:12:35] The majority of people in Orange County voted the mayor in over the county.
[00:12:41] And that's a democracy.
[00:12:43] Are y'all with me?
[00:12:45] You don't get to vote God in.
[00:12:48] And you don't get to vote God out.
[00:12:50] He is.
[00:12:52] He always will be.
[00:12:55] And he has a constitution.
[00:12:58] And that constitution is above any democratic constitution.
[00:13:02] Any republic constitution.
[00:13:05] Watch what I'm saying and I'm not saying a party Democratic or Republican those are two terms you need to understand what a Republic is and what a democracy is and that constitution is these 66 books right here 39 and 27 that make up the holy word of God come on in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God he doesn't even separate it and the word is his will and that's your constitution as a citizen in the kingdom
[00:13:35] Uh-oh.
[00:13:37] So watch what I'm saying.
[00:13:38] Are you with me?
[00:13:40] So the reason it's difficult for most Americans because you aren't like Bahama.
[00:13:45] How many of you have ever been to the Bahamas?
[00:13:48] Good.
[00:13:49] So the Bahamas was colonized.
[00:13:52] By England, right?
[00:13:54] You with me?
[00:13:55] So children in Bahama wear like brown shorts to school.
[00:14:02] Bermuda too, right Shay?
[00:14:04] So Bermuda too, they wear ties.
[00:14:06] So it'd be 90 degrees and you're gonna have a tie on.
[00:14:09] You're gonna have your brown shorts on.
[00:14:12] Why?
[00:14:12] Because they were colonized so the rule of the king of England, or the queen, the rule was extended over when they colonized an area.
[00:14:24] So they now dress like the king.
[00:14:28] They act like the king.
[00:14:30] They eat like the king.
[00:14:33] They talk like the king.
[00:14:35] It's hard for Americans to understand that if you don't understand Bermuda, Bahamas, Southern Colonization because right now we don't say, Lucia, think of Jamaica because we don't understand.
[00:14:48] So we try to make God fit into our
[00:14:51] Agenda our way of doing things God I want to marry that man God says no you don't no you don't I've already pre-arranged your marriage and you'll know when you meet them and because we do our thing we end up with trouble I did my thing a lot
[00:15:09] and then I decided to get advisors and a council around me and a life group around me and elders and a board around me and poor John had to go through about seven different things all the way over to Ghana and to Memphis and to Dallas and to here before I'd ever say okay now we can walk to the altar and say I do because I realized that as much as I love God I still had my own agenda
[00:15:34] I thought these decisions are right and when you lose your mind and get his mind and you're nothing but kingdom minded then your life begins to transform
[00:15:44] I'm gonna help somebody out today all right so the kingdom's at hand Jesus came to inaugurate a government mark chapter 1 verse 15 he proclaims the time is fulfilled and this is when he first comes on here's his first message the time is fulfilled because the messiah has come it's all proclaimed all throughout the word of God you've got to know the history to understand the destiny of everything you've got to understand that's why the old testament is a type right
[00:16:11] there's types and there's anti-types and you've got to understand that it's a type and it's important to you to understand what will be so he proclaims the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand what he's saying it's in your reach now it's in your reach and what does he say repent and believe the gospel
[00:16:29] Now, repent doesn't mean I'm sorry.
[00:16:31] What does it mean?
[00:16:32] Do a 180-degree turnaround.
[00:16:34] Go back to the place of departure.
[00:16:36] You go, well, where did I depart?
[00:16:38] Adam departed in the garden when sin first entered into humankind.
[00:16:43] So we've got to go back all the way to the original sin.
[00:16:47] Come on.
[00:16:47] What the first Adam messed up, the second Adam, Jesus, came to restore.
[00:16:52] And the Bible calls him that, the second Adam.
[00:16:54] so here he is he says repent change your mind change your way depart from where you are and go back to the original plan of God somebody better help me because when you start talking about being restored it means get back to the original place
[00:17:10] that's who you really are in christ i'm going deep for you today somebody say bring it on pastor paula okay believe the gospel so somebody say say the kingdoms with the hand and within hand somebody grab it come on grasp it so the kingdom was not delayed for the next age that's important it arrived when jesus arrived it arrived in him
[00:17:32] and it came through him and it was left for us so this is important because the kingdom arrived in him and through him and through him with the kingdom came salvation came redemption came deliverance came healing came peace came justice came regeneration I can keep on going guys came provision see the problem is you're waiting for something that has already showed up and it's within your grasp
[00:18:02] and you will spend the only thing you have the dash you think the dates are important it doesn't matter when you clocked in and it doesn't matter when you leave what matters is the dash what did you do with the dash how did you live with the dash
[00:18:18] it's the dash between the two dates it doesn't matter when you die it matters did i fulfill my one and only opportunity you don't get reincarnation baby you don't get to come back you're not coming back as a cow or a person or a dog or a butterfly this is it you clocked into purpose you've got a dash between the date the kingdom of god is within your grasp and everything in you listen be delivered today be healed today be provided for today
[00:18:48] you've been thinking too small you've been living too small come on you've got to kingdom it up you've got to come on up you've got to live in what's been left in you salvation's been given to you and salvation doesn't mean i just get saved and i just stand here living miserable no it
[00:19:03] is a wholeness word it means you're healed you Jesus who conquered death hell in the grave means death doesn't have anything on you the grave doesn't have anything on you hell doesn't have anything on you he came to destroy the works of darkness darkness ignorance doesn't have anything on you the spirit of revelation is yours the spirit of wisdom is yours the spirit of understanding is yours i don't know who i'm here for but i came to kingdom you up today
[00:19:28] I came for you to get an understanding of who you really are you're really bad to the bone and the devil is scared to death of you come on sincerely that's why he wants an illusion that's why he messes with your mind to make you think you're defeated think you're in darkness think that you're bound think that you have all these problems you are a son of God you are a citizen of the kingdom and there's no delay in the kingdom
[00:19:54] It already arrived.
[00:19:55] The kingdom is not only for future because there will be a new heaven.
[00:19:59] There will be a new earth.
[00:20:01] Come on.
[00:20:01] And Jesus Christ will reign over all of it as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
[00:20:07] And those who recognize that and bow to Him now will rise with Him then.
[00:20:12] I promise you.
[00:20:13] Because one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess there is a King and His name is Jesus.
[00:20:21] Come on.
[00:20:22] He is the Messiah.
[00:20:23] He is the one that brought the kingdom.
[00:20:25] We've been waiting for kingdom, but the kingdom arrived when He arrived.
[00:20:30] And so many people just leave Him up on that cross and thank God for the cross.
[00:20:34] Without the cross, there wouldn't have been a burial.
[00:20:37] Without the burial, there wouldn't have been the resurrection.
[00:20:39] But He got up, come on, and gave you a kingdom.
[00:20:42] and he ascended and now he sits on the right hand of the father until we do our job you've got a big job to do for jesus and when we stop sitting around and we do the job to expand the kingdom to every tribe every tongue every nation we literally usher in the return of the king not the cross not the suffering that's been done he conquered it the return of the king
[00:21:12] so Maranatha means do your job Maranatha come quickly means okay do your job thy kingdom come thy will be done where on earth Goldie got to bring the will of God to pass on earth Eli you've got to bring it to pass on earth the kingdom's not just future it's now the rule of God invades the earth wherever his will is obeyed
[00:21:39] So it all boils down not to sacrifice to what?
[00:21:43] Obedience.
[00:21:44] People that work for me know this.
[00:21:47] You can do 99 things right and you do that one wrong.
[00:21:51] I'm not a perfectionist.
[00:21:53] I'm not like you did the one wrong.
[00:21:54] That disobedience just impacted all that rest.
[00:22:00] Let me ask you this.
[00:22:03] Does God's word say to be faithful to your spouse?
[00:22:11] Oh, I'm going to have to really teach if y'all can't say amen on that.
[00:22:15] Absolutely it does, right?
[00:22:18] So is it sin to have sex with someone outside of your marriage?
[00:22:23] Oh, so y'all went, yeah.
[00:22:25] Of course it is.
[00:22:27] Of course it is, right?
[00:22:29] So 99 women can hit on your husband.
[00:22:33] and he never does anything but one he does with does it affect everything else because it didn't take 99 it just took one act of disobedience so i always tell people that are close to me i'm like you can't hear me because if you can hear me
[00:22:56] Oh, let me start right here.
[00:22:58] If you can hear me, then you can obey the instruction that's been given.
[00:23:04] But everyone knows that communication is all about... Let's talk about communication.
[00:23:12] Communication is about a sender and a receiver, right?
[00:23:15] So if I'm communicating to you, Derek, I'm the sender, you're the receiver, right?
[00:23:21] So they say what's in communication is between sender and receiver is noise.
[00:23:26] There's people walking around, there's stuff.
[00:23:29] So the ability for you to receive means that the terminology has to be the same.
[00:23:36] So let's just say, all right, if you're in South, well, I shouldn't say this.
[00:23:42] How can I say this?
[00:23:45] If you're asking, say, well, I learned, all right, this is a terrible illustration, but my ex-husband's name was Randy, and we were going to preach in South Africa.
[00:23:59] And so they said, well, how do we introduce you?
[00:24:01] He said, Pastor Randy.
[00:24:04] And they said, no.
[00:24:07] And he said, Pastor Randy.
[00:24:08] And he was adamant about it, and he was getting ready to get up, and so they obeyed.
[00:24:12] There are thousands of people and they said, Pastor Randy is coming and the whole place started snickering, like going, like laughing.
[00:24:21] Well, I didn't know Randy in South Africa means horny.
[00:24:27] I'm sorry.
[00:24:29] That's all that people are going to remember, right?
[00:24:32] Okay, well, that's a totally different terminology here.
[00:24:36] Well, no wonder they didn't want him to be announced as Pastor Randy.
[00:24:40] All right?
[00:24:41] Now, think about this.
[00:24:42] If you lived in the 70s, how many of you were products of the 70s?
[00:24:45] Come on.
[00:24:46] There's a handful of us.
[00:24:47] Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:48] All right.
[00:24:48] Y'all need a whole lot more products of the 90s, 2000s around here.
[00:24:52] if you're in the 70s we said or the 60s you'd say that's cool i still say that's cool and my kids just look at me asher just rolls her eyes now because i am antiquated for saying that's cool because that's cool means what to us that's hip right but if i say that to asher now say that's cool because terminology's changed it means like it's cold
[00:25:20] If I were to say chill, that means like make it cold.
[00:25:25] So between sender and receiver, you've got to have the same terminology.
[00:25:31] Well, the sender of the kingdom is God.
[00:25:34] The terminology is in the Constitution.
[00:25:37] But because most people don't know the Constitution,
[00:25:41] they don't live in the kingdom because they can't understand the language and they think they have a good heart which they do have a good heart but having a good heart has nothing to do with obedience
[00:25:58] because you have a good heart doesn't mean you're not perishing I'm telling you kingdom it up today live up today because you're still living on American democracy or Tupelo honey language or whatever your environment or Ebonics or whatever you learned as a language when that language has changed because you have a constitution that gives you the terms gives you what the parameters are
[00:26:25] and so obedience is what matters to the kingdom of God oh I've got a whole lot more points to teach you on here all right number two the kingdom is a government Paul says in Romans chapter 14 verse 17 the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking right
[00:26:43] But what is it?
[00:26:45] Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
[00:26:48] Now here's the problem.
[00:26:49] How many of you have been in church for a while?
[00:26:51] Come on, lift your hands.
[00:26:52] How many of you never really understood that in its fullness?
[00:26:55] Probably have the hands.
[00:26:57] Because we go, oh, it's not a matter of eating or drinking, but of joy, righteousness, right?
[00:27:03] Of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
[00:27:07] And we take that so ambiguous as some poetic language, we just go, happy people.
[00:27:11] That's not it at all.
[00:27:13] Not it at all.
[00:27:15] See, these are the markers, and it would take me forever.
[00:27:17] I could just teach three hours on these.
[00:27:20] These are the markers of life under God's rule.
[00:27:24] So God's saying, if you live in my kingdom, here's the markers of my rule in a person's life.
[00:27:31] So a lot of people can go, I'm a Christian.
[00:27:35] But God says, here's the markers that I rule in Eli's life.
[00:27:41] Here's the markers that I rule in Jonah's life.
[00:27:46] Alright?
[00:27:47] What are they?
[00:27:47] Righteousness.
[00:27:49] What is righteousness?
[00:27:50] A restored position.
[00:27:54] I didn't just lose my place, I freely gave it up.
[00:27:58] Because my position is in Christ.
[00:28:01] It is Him I live and I move and I have my being.
[00:28:07] so it's a restored position Jesus came to seek and to save those that were lost lost doesn't mean like unsaved it means mispositioned sin took you out of position sin took you out of position God came and brought a kingdom to restore the position because you are a king's son that makes me a princess
[00:28:35] Look, I'll get in a lot of trouble now.
[00:28:36] Just call me Princess Paula.
[00:28:40] I like that.
[00:28:41] Baby, can you call me Princess Paula?
[00:28:44] Oh, I love my husband.
[00:28:46] He goes, I will.
[00:28:49] All right, do I get... See, I'm going to get a crown like a princess one time.
[00:28:52] Y'all are looking at me funny like, that you're a princess too?
[00:28:56] You're a prince too?
[00:28:58] Come on.
[00:28:59] I'm trying here.
[00:29:00] This is a tough group, man.
[00:29:02] Pastor Brad, get off that cruise!
[00:29:06] Okay, so righteousness, restored position, peace means divine order.
[00:29:13] Does?
[00:29:14] Absolutely.
[00:29:16] Because Paul talks about where there's a pulling away or a fraction.
[00:29:21] He says there's envy, there's fear, and there's every spirit of basically chaos, confusion.
[00:29:27] So he's talking about
[00:29:28] The opposite of peace is out of when things are out of order.
[00:29:33] So peace means a divine accurate order of things.
[00:29:37] Where there's not an order, the order of God is not flowing in your life, there's not going to be peace.
[00:29:42] So peace is not mind over matter, it's not meditation.
[00:29:47] Peace is a state of your being, a harmony with God because you're in divine order.
[00:29:54] Wow, I'm trying to help people.
[00:29:56] You want to know why people are so stressed out over their money?
[00:29:59] It's not in divine order.
[00:30:00] You want to know why they're stressed out over their kids?
[00:30:03] Not in divine order.
[00:30:04] Stressed out over your body?
[00:30:05] Not in divine order.
[00:30:07] Disease actually means out of order and not functioning.
[00:30:12] because anytime something is out of order it's not going to function the way it's supposed to I'm giving you the basics to the kingdom because people think this kingdom minister Greg is just like something way out there no the kingdom is what you live in whether you know it or not but today let every veil be removed ready and joy is our spiritual strength so your strength comes from the joy of the Lord so wherever these are presence the kingdom is functioning
[00:30:41] Wherever there's a restored position, come on, there's a divine accurate order.
[00:30:46] And wherever you have spiritual strength, which is given by Jesus Christ, that's our joy.
[00:30:51] That's why Stephen could be preaching while he was being stoned to death and the glory of God shone out of him.
[00:30:59] Now, you can't mind-will yourself into that kind of stuff.
[00:31:04] Either it's in you or it's not.
[00:31:06] People are like, how do you do this?
[00:31:08] How do you survive this?
[00:31:09] I mean, secular people ask me all the time, what do you have to say to the critics?
[00:31:13] I go, absolutely nothing.
[00:31:15] Because it really doesn't bother me.
[00:31:17] Y'all should know that by now.
[00:31:19] It really doesn't bother me.
[00:31:22] Because it doesn't matter.
[00:31:23] It's just noise.
[00:31:25] It's just simply noise.
[00:31:27] And some of you get so freaked out about the noise in your life because you don't know the terminology of the king.
[00:31:34] I'm telling you something.
[00:31:35] Because if you could hear what he's saying about you, every day would be different.
[00:31:42] So watch, the kingdom's not just in heaven.
[00:31:45] It's anywhere that heaven is in the earth.
[00:31:49] Now where's heaven in the earth?
[00:31:50] Wherever I expand it to.
[00:31:52] Let me explain it.
[00:31:54] Because
[00:31:55] we again you've got to break the mentality that your your dash is just about getting to a place that you're not even sure about I mean you're not even sure about and and there is there's a right now there's a heaven now read the rest of Revelation there'll be a new earth and a new Jerusalem so everything's going to be restored to its original condition and there's a whole lot that we don't know
[00:32:24] I'm excited to find that out.
[00:32:26] Now in that new earth and that new heaven, what is it like?
[00:32:29] There's no tears.
[00:32:31] He wipes the tears away.
[00:32:32] There's no sickness.
[00:32:33] There's no disease.
[00:32:35] The throne of God has healing leaves come out of it.
[00:32:38] It has this amazing river.
[00:32:41] I mean, the streets are of gold and then the throne has sapphire around it.
[00:32:48] I mean, it's incredible what all comes out.
[00:32:51] It has some interesting looking creatures around it that we haven't quite seen.
[00:32:57] But this is important.
[00:32:58] Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
[00:33:02] in the earth in the earth how do i pray pray like this hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done in it's in because there's two different words we say i in it's actually two different words in the um greek in the earth as it is in heaven
[00:33:26] all right so so important here so let me explain that the kingdom exists already and as citizens I'm operating in the kingdom of God so what does Jesus say you're in this world but you're not of this world so we get it but we don't get it
[00:33:47] So you can be standing in a boardroom.
[00:33:49] You can be standing in a classroom.
[00:33:51] You can be standing in a courtroom.
[00:33:53] You can be standing in the Rose Garden.
[00:33:55] And guys, they'll slam me for saying this, but this is the truth.
[00:34:00] Wherever you are, if there's righteousness, right position, if there's peace, divine accurate order of things, and if there's joy, my spiritual strength, right, in the Holy Ghost, then I'm ruling.
[00:34:13] Now this is important.
[00:34:14] And I'm standing in the kingdom.
[00:34:17] because I am a kingdom carrier I expand the kingdom of God you expand the kingdom of God
[00:34:25] so the kingdom of God has a people I'm getting ahead of myself it also has a place and what ultimately happens is the people of God expand the kingdom of God to the return of the Lord that every single nation will have the kingdom of God every single tribe every single tongue and then the return of the Lord you're looking at me funny you've got a big job to do for Jesus y'all got some expanding to do
[00:34:54] Because you're like, you go into, you're a school teacher, you go in, it's chaotic.
[00:34:58] You're like, it's so chaotic.
[00:35:00] you have kingdom rule bring the kingdom and you don't have to be fruity about it you don't have to write kingdom on your chart board you don't have to start speaking in tongues and throwing oil everywhere you walk in with the power the presence the knowledge the understanding you bring the peace you bring the righteousness you bring the joy come on
[00:35:24] and because you have authority over whoever you're teaching come on that's an influencing that classroom that classroom is the parameters God gave you that medical room that hospital that ministry come on that neighborhood wherever it is come on kingdom expansion I'm trying to help somebody here point number three the ecclesia
[00:35:51] the Ecclesia so let's talk what's the difference between the kingdom and the church and the Ecclesia is the legislative arm of the kingdom so people either teach on the church or they teach on the kingdom both are important let me put it in simple ways you can understand the church is the vehicle that God uses for his citizens to expand the kingdom
[00:36:17] So the church has to always be growing.
[00:36:19] In Matthew 16, 18, Jesus says, I will build my church.
[00:36:22] What's the word there?
[00:36:23] Ekklesia, right?
[00:36:25] So I'll build my church because it wasn't the same Hebrew or Greek or Aramaic word as the Jews were accustomed to as the spiritual temple or the house.
[00:36:34] Because God says that I'm going to rip the veil.
[00:36:37] I'm going to destroy that.
[00:36:39] and so I'll rip it from the top to the bottom to signify no man's hand could do this because know you not that you are the temple of God so the temple of God the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of me so he says what the gates of hell will not prevail against the ecclesia so what is ecclesia
[00:36:59] The Ecclesia was not this religious term or word it was a Roman governmental term used for an assembly that carried legal authority to represent the people so if two to three Romans gathered outside of Rome they would establish a locale there and that's how Rome
[00:37:18] The Bible spread itself to the world as one of the greatest empires.
[00:37:21] If you don't know the history of Rome, study it because it helps you understand the writings and what Paul was saying during this time.
[00:37:27] So Jesus deliberately used it to show that his people would have legislative power.
[00:37:33] And guys, you've got to understand governmental terms because that's what God uses.
[00:37:37] because it's all about a king and a kingdom so you have to understand that people from Bermuda and from Bahamas and Saint Lucia can understand in Jamaica can understand that a little I got you all all right here around the front row I got you all she's like you almost left out Saint Lucia no I didn't right and Jamaica right there on the front so you get it then so what does that mean spiritual authority to bring heaven's rule to earthly places
[00:38:05] Just like colonization.
[00:38:08] So understand, you have spiritual authority to bring heaven's rule.
[00:38:12] Is there problems in heaven right now?
[00:38:15] No.
[00:38:16] No.
[00:38:17] Have things been settled?
[00:38:19] Yes.
[00:38:20] What happened to the one guy that tried to rebel?
[00:38:24] I saw satan fall as lightning it didn't go too good did it right so there's not a problem there there's not an issue there this is important so now you have heaven's authority to rule in the earth
[00:38:40] Now the problem of this, Greg, is so many of us have other things ruling over us.
[00:38:46] Why are you allowing that when you are a kingdom citizen?
[00:38:50] Oh, because, Pastor, I need you to pay my mortgage.
[00:38:52] Sorry, I'm not your bank.
[00:38:55] And I'm certainly not your God.
[00:38:58] Now I'm saying that, I'm saying that theologically.
[00:39:01] I'm compassionate.
[00:39:02] I will always help anyone out if they get hurt one time.
[00:39:08] Two times but I'm not going to bail you out and enable you to live as a non-citizen because that makes you dependent on me when you and I are the same person we're equal we're sons of God come on we're the bridegroom we're the ecclesia you've got it baby just like I've got it and this is important there's no hierarchy in the kingdom of God there's a king and there's citizens
[00:39:34] There's a king and there's citizens.
[00:39:36] You've got it.
[00:39:38] I've got it.
[00:39:38] You can cast out devils.
[00:39:40] I can cast out devils.
[00:39:41] You can speak to the mountain and the mountain will be removed.
[00:39:44] I can speak to the mountain and the mountain will be removed.
[00:39:47] You lay your hands on the sick and they will recover.
[00:39:50] I lay my hands on the sick and they recover.
[00:39:52] I have a renewed mind.
[00:39:55] You have a renewed mind.
[00:39:57] Oh, I'm trying to help somebody get kingdom.
[00:39:59] Ready?
[00:40:00] so Jesus did this to say when two or three are gathered in his name the full weight of his kingdom is present he even reiterates that with Matthew chapter 18 verse 20 if any two of you agree is touching anything on heaven and earth on heaven in heaven are in earth then what he'll do it so if two of us agree now everybody uses that for prayer and that's true
[00:40:26] But let me tell you, Asia, come up here real quick.
[00:40:28] It's more than just prayer.
[00:40:29] The word agree means to meet together at a certain place.
[00:40:34] Come on up and agree with me.
[00:40:35] This is agreement.
[00:40:36] That's agreement right there.
[00:40:38] With my heels, man, I'm so much taller than you.
[00:40:41] I love you.
[00:40:43] and these are six inch heels sorry baby so come here agree if we agree if we come together and we agree we meet an appointment to meet same thing and you and i just say you know elder needs um debt cancellation her house is about to be supernaturally paid off let's come in agreement with that now we might do several things
[00:41:11] we might pray over that and or we might say how much you have how much i have and we might pay off her house agreement is more than just prayer oh i'm teaching you good right now
[00:41:28] I'm trying Lord I'm trying so so the importance of this is this Ecclesia is is we come and we have the full weight of the kingdom you got to understand the kingdom what's the kingdom right it's inclusive like he says repent believe the gospel preach the gospel for the kingdom of God is at hand this is important because we don't just attend church we are heaven's governing council in the earth are you getting it okay then number number four
[00:41:58] I've got four more points.
[00:41:59] I'm going to be in trouble because I'm going 15 minutes longer.
[00:42:02] Ready?
[00:42:02] I'll make it quick.
[00:42:03] The mandate of dominion.
[00:42:04] Genesis 1, 28.
[00:42:05] It's the original commission.
[00:42:07] Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion.
[00:42:11] So this is so important.
[00:42:13] This is the origination of the kingdom.
[00:42:16] God started a kingdom with Adam and Eve.
[00:42:19] And I'm going to show it to you.
[00:42:20] He said, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion.
[00:42:24] This is not just about family.
[00:42:26] It's about authority.
[00:42:27] and God gave five clear kingdom commands number one to be fruitful bear fruit bring forth grow and produce God expects that what he deposits on you or in you to manifest in the earth he expects it that's why he says if I go away here's something that's
[00:42:47] it's frustrating sometimes when you you have people around you that should that have sat under your teaching for a long time just being honest and should know kingdom because you you just operate in it and Jesus says this he gives a parable because he's always teaching kingdom he goes if i go away he says the master goes away and leaves all his stuff with some people right
[00:43:15] He leaves talents.
[00:43:17] Gives one one, one two, and one five.
[00:43:20] He comes back a year later.
[00:43:23] What'd you do with that talent?
[00:43:25] What'd you do with my barn?
[00:43:27] What'd you do with the house that you were left to oversee?
[00:43:30] What'd you do with the church that you were to build?
[00:43:33] What'd you do with the children's ministry that you were given?
[00:43:37] what'd you do with the the business that i gave you and that's what he's saying and the one goes well i doubled it very good well done thou faithful servant second one well look i doubled it
[00:43:50] very good well done okay well actually starts with five the guy doubles it goes to two doubles it and it goes down to the one with one i knew that you were a mean master that you'd get angry if i lost it think about what he's saying if i lost it in other words what he's saying is i know i'm a kingdom citizen and i know that i'm going to stand before you one day
[00:44:17] And I know that if I don't do anything with the dash, I lost it.
[00:44:25] I know I'm going to give an account, a full discourse, a logos, a full script of every minute, every second, every hour, every day, every month that oxygen was flowing through my body.
[00:44:43] and i knew that if i lost the dash if i lost three of the years everybody's like well god's grace and i know pastor brad spoke on the kingdom of god last week about the grace and there's a grace with stuff but that's the ecclesia grace is not the message of the kingdom it's the ecclesia and that's important it's a whole lot deeper you do have grace but don't live sloppy
[00:45:08] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:45:13] To whom much is given, much is required.
[00:45:15] And he comes back and he goes, that's how my barn looked?
[00:45:18] That's what my grass looks like?
[00:45:20] That's what my house looks like?
[00:45:22] And I left you with it for a year?
[00:45:25] Depart from me, you worker of iniquity.
[00:45:29] Depart from me, you worker of iniquity.
[00:45:34] Think about that.
[00:45:36] He gives something to every one of us.
[00:45:39] The measure is decided by God.
[00:45:42] The five, two, and one, that's God's decision.
[00:45:45] But what you do with it is your decision.
[00:45:48] Oh, it's quiet right now.
[00:45:51] Everybody's like, oh, it's all good.
[00:45:53] If you think it's okay just to get up here and throw yourself, not that you guys do, throw yourself into worship and go, well, we don't really need to rehearse.
[00:46:01] I don't really need to perfect my voice or play my instrument or anything.
[00:46:05] If God gave it to you and called you to do it, and you just take it casual, if you were paid a million dollars, I bet you would rehearse.
[00:46:13] If you were paid a million dollars, I bet you'd perfect it.
[00:46:18] Oh, this is just for church.
[00:46:22] What you do with it,
[00:46:24] I'm trying to help people with Kingdom right now to be fruitful.
[00:46:31] Fruitfulness is the evidence that something is alive and aligned.
[00:46:36] If there's no fruit in your life,
[00:46:39] Where's the power of God?
[00:46:41] Are you aligned with Him?
[00:46:43] Ready number two.
[00:46:43] Multiply.
[00:46:45] It means to increase and expand.
[00:46:47] The kingdom never shrinks.
[00:46:48] It's always enlarging its reach.
[00:46:50] Think of Acts chapter 2.
[00:46:52] The church multiplied daily.
[00:46:54] That's kingdom growth.
[00:46:55] How does this church grow?
[00:46:57] Through you.
[00:46:59] Through you.
[00:47:00] You go, no, that's Pastor Brad's responsibility.
[00:47:03] He's a great shepherd.
[00:47:05] But shepherds don't produce sheep.
[00:47:08] Sheep produce sheep.
[00:47:11] I've never seen a shepherd go into labor yet.
[00:47:14] I've never seen a shepherd bend down and push out a sheep.
[00:47:19] Sheeps push out sheep.
[00:47:22] And if you don't know that, let's take a farm lesson.
[00:47:27] Citizens grow citizens in the kingdom of God.
[00:47:31] and doesn't mean because when you're a shepherd you're also a sheep you've got to grow your own but you've also got a shepherd that's a dual role the right there you never get out of being a sheep we're all sheeps oh i see y'all are really happy about this message all right everybody's going to hell and you're going to burn like a
[00:47:53] Just messing with you.
[00:47:55] Number three, replenish, fill, and overflow.
[00:47:57] In the kingdom, you don't operate from a place of scarcity because it's a place of growth.
[00:48:02] It's a place of overflow.
[00:48:03] We replenish atmosphere.
[00:48:05] We replenish them with hope, with faith, with grace, with God, with goodness.
[00:48:10] Remember the woman?
[00:48:11] She broke her alabaster box.
[00:48:12] It changed the whole atmosphere that was what?
[00:48:15] Angry.
[00:48:15] that they were all had indignation and when she began to do a kingdom move worship that's a whole nother she began to do a kingdom move worship it changed the whole atmosphere kingdom moves change everything praise the lord
[00:48:33] All right, number four, subdue.
[00:48:35] It means to conquer, resist, chaos, and establish divine order.
[00:48:39] Every time you pray peace, you bring peace, divine, accurate order into a situation, you're subduing.
[00:48:46] You're replacing, you're subduing.
[00:48:48] That's what it is.
[00:48:48] Now, dominion's so important because people get all hung up on this, but it's so important because it means to rule with responsibility.
[00:48:57] And remember, Jesus says, I give you all authority.
[00:48:59] The importance that you need to understand is this.
[00:49:03] that um dominion boy um okay when you take the when you take the okay i'm trying to do this right without getting you on a 30-minute bible study
[00:49:17] when you take the Hebraic word dominion or the Aramaic or even the Greek word it's going to translate into let's take the Hebraic because that's the easiest the Hebraic Lamelech or however you're going to say it I can't say it right when you take the Hebrew word of dominion it translates kingdom when God says I now it's going to give you a lot of other etymology but it's going to be kingdom kingdom word basileia
[00:49:44] Have royalty, rule, and reign.
[00:49:47] What is that?
[00:49:48] Dominion.
[00:49:51] So, the word dominion, God says this.
[00:49:55] Let's go back to Genesis 1.28, alright?
[00:49:57] Let's look at it.
[00:49:58] Genesis 1.28.
[00:49:59] He says, Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have kingdom.
[00:50:10] and it gives you over what all you have it have rule reign have royalty over it over the fish over the birds over this over every single thing watch except for humans why because we already have a king and he has royalty rule and reign over my life his name is Jesus
[00:50:31] Now, that doesn't mean I go, okay, here you are, Dana, you're here, and I'm here, and God's here.
[00:50:39] No, God's here, I'm here, and Dana's here.
[00:50:43] We, as citizens, have equality.
[00:50:48] Y'all are all upset about that equality thing, all right.
[00:50:51] Praise the Lord, here we go.
[00:50:53] Dominion is not domination.
[00:50:55] It's righteous rulership, like Joseph in Egypt, stewarding what belongs to God for the good of others.
[00:51:02] So everyone that walks in dominion then has accountability as what?
[00:51:07] A steward and a manager.
[00:51:09] What did I do with what I gave you?
[00:51:12] The gift, the talent, the skill, the time.
[00:51:15] What did you do with it?
[00:51:17] And that's, we'll just about wrap up, right?
[00:51:20] Number five, I'll teach you this later.
[00:51:21] The kingdom flows from the king.
[00:51:23] and every kingdom has five components a king Jesus Christ with all authority Matthew 28 18 a territory the earth and every domain of influence Psalm 24 1 are you getting anything out of this citizens this is where I'm going to focus on right now those born again by a spirit Philippians 3 20 laws the words and principles of the king or your constitution Matthew 5 through 7.
[00:51:49] and Culture, the Lifestyle, Values and Atmosphere of the Kingdom, Romans 12, 2.
[00:51:54] So we aren't just believers who are what?
[00:51:56] We're citizens of heaven.
[00:51:57] Somebody say, I'm a citizen.
[00:51:59] Place on earth to bring heaven to earth.
[00:52:02] In other words, earth has to come up to a higher culture, the culture of the kingdom.
[00:52:07] That means how we speak, how we respond, how we lead should reflect the rule of the king and the influence of the environment we're implanted in.
[00:52:15] Number six, kingdom power and position, Matthew 6, 33.
[00:52:18] Jesus taught, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
[00:52:22] It's not about church activity.
[00:52:24] It's our kingdom priority.
[00:52:26] The kingdom refers to rulership, our power in Christ.
[00:52:29] And righteousness refers to relationship, our position in Christ.
[00:52:34] Did you get it?
[00:52:35] Okay, what is it?
[00:52:36] Kingdom priority.
[00:52:37] Kingdom refers to rulership, our power in Christ.
[00:52:42] And righteousness refers to position, right?
[00:52:46] Our relationship, our position in Christ.
[00:52:48] So you have two things, a position in Christ and power in Christ.
[00:52:52] So like Melchizedek, that makes you what?
[00:52:55] Both Priest and King Revelation 1 6 Oh you can't call me a king he's a king you're born of him you're born of him so there I'll just take that a lot deeper on another day all right so we govern with grace because we stand in right relationship one without the other creates this imbalance together they empower us to have integree uh an integer means one to have unity
[00:53:25] Number seven, and then I'm getting you to number eight, which is where I want to take you.
[00:53:28] Jesus is the king and his commission.
[00:53:30] In Matthew 28, 18 through 20, Jesus gives the great commission.
[00:53:34] All authority has been given to me.
[00:53:36] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.
[00:53:39] This isn't just a call to preach.
[00:53:41] It's a call to extend kingdom culture into every nation, every system, every structure.
[00:53:48] This is where the world goes crazy.
[00:53:50] They're like, you Christians are trying to dominate.
[00:53:54] No.
[00:53:55] Yeah, if we dominate, guess what we dominate with?
[00:53:58] Love.
[00:54:00] We're trying to love you to pieces.
[00:54:03] Goodness.
[00:54:04] We're trying to be good to you.
[00:54:06] Righteousness.
[00:54:07] We're trying to get you in right standing.
[00:54:12] Like you Christians, and this is where the secular, because if you're in darkness, it's your veil.
[00:54:18] And a person doesn't have an understanding of what domination is.
[00:54:22] It's not to rule over other people.
[00:54:24] It's to be kingdom.
[00:54:26] And in kingdom, I have authority, unapologetically.
[00:54:30] In kingdom, I have provision, unapologetically.
[00:54:34] In kingdom, I'm made whole, unapologetically.
[00:54:37] In kingdom, are you with me?
[00:54:39] Come on, I'm well, I'm healed.
[00:54:42] In kingdom, I have joy.
[00:54:44] In kingdom, I have right position.
[00:54:47] Are you hearing what I'm saying?
[00:54:48] In kingdom I have a divine accurate order of things.
[00:54:51] I know that's upsetting you because you write all kinds of things about it.
[00:54:55] But I want you to be in right position.
[00:54:59] I want you to have the peace and the joy, come on, and the righteousness of the kingdom.
[00:55:06] Because this is what happens.
[00:55:07] This isn't just a call to preach like I said.
[00:55:09] It's a command.
[00:55:10] We're ambassadors according to 2 Corinthians 5 20.
[00:55:14] Authorized to represent heaven's governments.
[00:55:16] When we disciple nations, we don't change laws.
[00:55:19] We transform hearts.
[00:55:21] Everybody used to say, this is funny, when I was young, people would say to me, when I mean young in my 20s and 30s, oh, you should run for governor.
[00:55:29] I was like, no way.
[00:55:30] I said, I'll never be in politics.
[00:55:32] They go, why?
[00:55:33] I said, because I've got the greatest position and the highest one you can ever have.
[00:55:38] I get to serve full-time the kingdom of God.
[00:55:42] I'm in full-time ministry.
[00:55:48] I love what I'm doing.
[00:55:49] It's an appointed position for a season and it's a great honor.
[00:55:53] But to be honest, there's nothing greater, I'll give you on a secret, than to do kingdom ministry for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and recognize if you're a teacher in a school, you're doing kingdom ministry.
[00:56:08] You're not kingdom just when you come to church.
[00:56:10] You're all the time the kingdom of God if you're at the gym come on wherever you are in your neighborhood when you're walking and praying so that's the importance when we just so we we change we restore families we reform systems we rebuild foundations and when the king rules through you everything begins to change and i brought you all to this ready
[00:56:32] now's your date of deliverance and i'm 11 minutes over i'm so sorry i'm going to go five more minutes here you go in luke 4 18 19 jesus quotes from isaiah and declares the year of the lord's favor this was a prophetic the kingdom is point number eight the kingdom is our or your jubilee so you got to understand what a jubilee is this was a prophetic reference to the year of jubilee in leviticus 25
[00:56:59] What happens on Jubilee?
[00:57:01] Every 50 years, all debt was canceled, slaves were freed, and all property was returned.
[00:57:07] So in Kingdom culture, the Jubilee doesn't happen every 50 years.
[00:57:12] It's our inheritance every single day with Christ.
[00:57:17] So what that means is every debt... See, let me help your mentality, why we have such American democracy mentalities.
[00:57:24] That means we take the... How many of you believe Jesus Christ canceled the debt of sin over your life that brings forth death?
[00:57:31] You got saved!
[00:57:32] Praise God!
[00:57:33] But you don't believe He cancels the debt of generational curses of financial drain in your life.
[00:57:42] So you think poverty is just your lot in life.
[00:57:45] No, it was passed before a generation.
[00:57:47] You think, well, mama died of diabetes and grandmama had diabetes and all.
[00:57:52] That's just the way it's going to be.
[00:57:54] No, it's not.
[00:57:55] You're going to start eating different.
[00:57:57] You're going to take on a different diet.
[00:58:00] You're going to learn how to take care of yourself.
[00:58:02] You're going to start walking and exercising.
[00:58:04] You're going to do the things that you were meant to do, all right?
[00:58:08] And now God's going to give you a kingdom body.
[00:58:10] you're going to have the energy of the spirit well i'm 60 years old i'm just getting old i'm 59 two sundays ago i'm just getting old i'm just getting tired no i have the energy of the spirit i'm gonna live to probably be 120 to torment the devil and do a lot of kingdom work why because every day if you don't get anything get this one every day the debt is canceled for you every day you are freed from slavery
[00:58:38] Every day, property, things are restored.
[00:58:42] Take no thought what you're going to eat, what you're going to wear, where you're going to live.
[00:58:45] These are the things of the kingdom.
[00:58:47] Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the right position, and all these everyday human needs will be met to you.
[00:58:57] That's not a struggle because I'm a good daddy.
[00:59:00] I'm a good father.
[00:59:01] I'm not here to punish you.
[00:59:03] I'm not here to abuse you.
[00:59:04] I'm not here to neglect you I'm here to love you to show the world my glory through you to expand my kingdom in you and through you you've got a job to do for Jesus you better help me out because right now you're in Jubilee so I came to deal with every bondage on your life I came for an assignment these next few minutes when you enter the kingdom you enter rest you enter release you enter restoration
[00:59:31] and you've got to know that that Jubilee is yours right now watch Luke chapter 13 there's a woman that has a spirit of infirmity your battle is not natural it's spiritual she had a spirit of infirmity it means she had no ability to produce results no ability to bring forth some of you had failure after failure every
[00:59:53] Every business you started didn't succeed.
[00:59:56] That day's over because it's your Jubilee.
[00:59:58] Come on, every time you got off whatever drug you were addicted off, you relapsed.
[01:00:03] Every time you tried to get sober, you relapsed.
[01:00:06] That day is over because it's your Jubilee.
[01:00:08] Every time you stopped trying to throw up, purging yourself from bulimia, anorexia, you couldn't help it.
[01:00:15] You went back to the sick cycle.
[01:00:17] That day is over because you got Jubilee.
[01:00:20] Every time you tried to get out of debt,
[01:00:22] you went on a spending spree late at night come on that debt is over it's being cancelled in the name of Jesus by the blood of Jesus I call contracts to you I call favor to you I call opportunity to you and God doesn't bring that to you if you're neglectful you've got to have a divine accurate order and arrangement that is peace get
[01:00:43] Get peace in your finances.
[01:00:44] Get peace in your home.
[01:00:46] Get peace in your business.
[01:00:47] Get peace, which means the accurate and divine order of things.
[01:00:51] And when that comes, now watch the contracts come.
[01:00:54] Watch the opportunity come.
[01:00:55] Because life is not one big struggle.
[01:00:58] You're going to have some suffering, but it's just for a short season.
[01:01:02] You're going to go through some things, aren't you, Apostle Paul?
[01:01:05] But in the end, you're going to spread the gospel all through Rome.
[01:01:08] You're going to win.
[01:01:08] You're going to stand before Caesar.
[01:01:10] you're going to go to fetish you're going to preach the gospel you're going to go into Greece you're going to go all around you're going to spread this thing to the east the north the south the west because you've come to preach the kingdom and the kingdom has no limitations the kingdom is not just American the kingdom is not just European the kingdom is not just African the kingdom is not just
[01:01:32] wherever you want to go whichever continent you want to be on the kingdom is from heaven and it comes to the earth where people receive Jesus Christ now I don't know who I'm here for but I came to let you know you've been in the synagogue you've been in church a long time but it's time you get in the Ecclesia which is the vehicle that expresses the kingdom because what you are is a citizen
[01:01:55] and you're living too much beneath your daddy you don't look like the house that your daddy is living in you don't look like the clothes that your daddy is wearing you are wrapped in garments of salvation you're robed in robes of righteousness you walk like a king you talk like a king you act like a king you live like a king because your father come on he is the king of kings he is the lord of lords
[01:02:23] Come on, He is more than just a suffering Savior.
[01:02:27] He is Messiah.
[01:02:28] He is King.
[01:02:30] He rules and reigns and because He does, so do you.
[01:02:33] Now come on in the name of Jesus.
[01:02:35] This woman was in this place in a synagogue for a long time.
[01:02:40] 18 years with a spirit of infirmity and what that means is that says she could in no wise lift herself up the word could implies that she had no ability and no power within herself she couldn't straighten up
[01:02:55] she couldn't reverse her condition it was a posture problem and the problem is watch she's in church but she doesn't have a kingdom mindset she's in church and she's got a posture problem because the kingdom of God is righteousness
[01:03:10] Redeemed to the proper position.
[01:03:13] Standing in the right...
[01:03:14] I don't care if you were born on the other side of the tracks.
[01:03:17] I don't care if they did call you trailer trash.
[01:03:20] Come on.
[01:03:20] I don't care where you came out of.
[01:03:22] The poorest state in America, Mississippi.
[01:03:25] It doesn't matter where you start.
[01:03:27] It matters where you end.
[01:03:28] Because in the Kingdom, He restores your position.
[01:03:32] He makes you righteous.
[01:03:34] You are now positioned in Him.
[01:03:36] There's no sin in Him.
[01:03:37] There's no accident in Him.
[01:03:39] There's no mistake in Him.
[01:03:41] There's no flaw in Him.
[01:03:42] There's no fault in Him.
[01:03:44] You are not this worm.
[01:03:46] You are a child of the Most High God.
[01:03:49] You are royal.
[01:03:51] You are chosen.
[01:03:52] You're the called out ones.
[01:03:54] You're an ambassador of the Most High God.
[01:03:57] You're a delegated representative of another kingdom.
[01:04:01] Somebody better help me.
[01:04:03] In the White House they're going through ambassador training right now.
[01:04:07] It's brutal.
[01:04:07] They don't just get to go to another country to re-present America.
[01:04:13] They're going through stringent training 10, 20, 15 hours a day before they get released to that country.
[01:04:20] You're going through stringent training.
[01:04:22] It's time you get to your Jubilee.
[01:04:24] Some of you have been sitting here 15 years and you're still bound, but today is your day of freedom.
[01:04:28] Right now is your day of deliverance.
[01:04:30] Right now every debt is canceled.
[01:04:33] The debt of the curse of your forefathers.
[01:04:35] The debt of the curse of your forefathers.
[01:04:38] The debt of the curse of your past.
[01:04:41] The debt of the curse of that conviction.
[01:04:44] Come on, whatever it is, it is canceled.
[01:04:46] The Lord has exonerated you.
[01:04:49] He has redeemed you and put you in the right posture.
[01:04:52] This has to do with your position, your divine acted order and arrangement of things.
[01:04:57] Things are going to start flowing in your life.
[01:05:00] Something wasn't working in her life.
[01:05:02] She was always bent over and if you're always bent over you don't see things rightly because you can only look down and some of you only
[01:05:10] I'm giving you sons, I'm giving you nations, I'm giving it all to you, that's where kingdom comes out of
[01:05:30] come on you better help me here she had a lack of strength she had no ability to produce and the bible goes on says she was bowed over which means she was in union with something and it doesn't tell us what i don't know what happened to her elder i don't know if they raped her or abused her or abandoned her i don't know what traumatized her maybe she was in a fire like john we all have those things that could make us in union he left you
[01:05:55] You traded you in when you were 40 for two 20s.
[01:05:58] That doesn't mean something's wrong with you.
[01:06:00] It means he was probably blinded.
[01:06:02] Come on, because you're in right position.
[01:06:05] You're not a product because when you become one with what happened to you, it messes up your real identity.
[01:06:11] You've got to know who you are.
[01:06:13] Child of God, citizen of the kingdom,
[01:06:15] Most High God come on those things were sent to knock you down to mess you up to keep you with a posture problem a position problem they were meant to mark you the rest of your life that you would have a union with an event or an experience or a person that doesn't even have any impact in your life because you are a citizen of the kingdom I don't know who I'm here for but in the name of Jesus get up
[01:06:40] this woman had tried she went to synagogue and nothing had changed and the problem is you've been trying to break out of a cycle trying to break out of an addiction trying to break out of depression trying to break out of despair and no matter how much you prayed no matter how much you pushed yourself
[01:06:57] you could no wise no ability to lift no power to lift yourself up in the sense you couldn't reverse it you couldn't unbind it but today with the spirit of revelation and understanding i came to tell you this is a job for jesus this is where the kingdom steps in jesus saw her not with his eyes but with his spirit edo is the word he called her forward which means he summoned her towards divine alignment and he spoke one word woman thou are loose you're free
[01:07:27] You're dismissed.
[01:07:28] You're relieved.
[01:07:29] You're released.
[01:07:30] You're divorced.
[01:07:31] I don't know who I'm here for, but you're loose today.
[01:07:34] You're divorced.
[01:07:36] You're free.
[01:07:37] You're relieved.
[01:07:38] I just came immediately.
[01:07:39] Not ten days later.
[01:07:41] Watch.
[01:07:41] Immediately she was made straight.
[01:07:43] Immediately her structure realigned.
[01:07:46] Immediately her identity was restored.
[01:07:48] Immediately she was in position.
[01:07:51] This is Jubilee.
[01:07:53] And this is Kingdom.
[01:07:55] Where what you could not do in your own power, the authority of the King does in a moment.
[01:08:00] I speak to you.
[01:08:01] I preach to you.
[01:08:03] Kingdom.
[01:08:03] This is the Kingdom in motion.
[01:08:05] Cycles break.
[01:08:07] Structures are realigned.
[01:08:08] Dignity is restored.
[01:08:10] Depression is gone.
[01:08:11] No more shame.
[01:08:12] No more pain.
[01:08:13] Help me out.
[01:08:14] No more fear.
[01:08:15] No more limitations.
[01:08:16] Jesus didn't just heal her body.
[01:08:18] He repositioned her destiny.
[01:08:21] Today God's not only healing you, he's repositioning your destiny.
[01:08:26] Today's a do-over.
[01:08:27] Today thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
[01:08:31] Everything from that moment before we got in here at 1030 is gone in the name of Jesus.
[01:08:37] and all you have to do is receive it if you receive it say I receive it say I receive it right now I receive it in the name of Jesus it's yours right now in the name of Jesus lift up your hands come on in the name of Jesus be loosed from every addiction be loose from every ungodly mindset be loose from fear be loose from depression be loose from every wrong decision be loose from that sin be loose from that generational curse there is nothing that has more power

[01:09:17] How many you receive it?
[01:09:28] If you receive it, get down here.
[01:09:30] Get down here.
[01:09:30] Just get out and just get down here.

[01:09:37] Relief from depression.
[01:09:38] In the name of Jesus right now.
[01:09:40] Because I'm going to do the very last thing and I'm going to show you how the kingdom works.
[01:09:43] Thank you.
[01:09:44] Thank you.
[01:09:45] How the kingdom works.
[01:09:47] Thank you.
[01:09:47] I know I went a little over.
[01:09:49] I'm sorry, Pastor Brad.
[01:09:50] I haven't preached for a long time.
[01:09:53] Thank you, Teresa.
[01:09:54] I was up late last night studying because I felt I had a word from God.
[01:09:58] Kingdom of God, how many of you received?
[01:10:01] Here it is.
[01:10:02] So what happens?
[01:10:05] She gets healed, right?
[01:10:07] Come on down.
[01:10:08] So proud of you.
[01:10:09] Everybody else, stand up and just stretch your hands towards Him.
[01:10:12] Because you know why I'm proud of you?
[01:10:14] The honesty to say, I've been sinning in the synagogue, but He's like, there's something in my life that's not aligned.
[01:10:23] And it's usually the same thing.
[01:10:24] Why isn't my family working?
[01:10:26] Why isn't my money working?
[01:10:28] And it's not yours anyway.
[01:10:29] You're a steward.
[01:10:30] You manage it.
[01:10:31] But why isn't this working?
[01:10:32] Why isn't that working?
[01:10:33] Why isn't my body working?
[01:10:35] Why isn't my mind working?
[01:10:36] It's not ours.
[01:10:37] It's His.
[01:10:39] And it's real simple.
[01:10:40] When the kingdom is proclaimed, okay?
[01:10:44] That's what it is.
[01:10:45] The kingdom preached.
[01:10:46] Then there's a manifestation.
[01:10:48] That's always why Jesus healed the sick and why there was deliverance.
[01:10:53] I'm taking you into a lot of things here.
[01:10:55] I healed the sick.
[01:10:56] At the very end, what happens?
[01:10:58] He wasn't just healing her.
[01:11:00] He wasn't just restoring her body.
[01:11:02] He was putting her back into her destiny.
[01:11:05] And what does he say?
[01:11:06] First off, the religious rulers get outraged.
[01:11:09] Why are they mad at this situation?
[01:11:12] Because religion will control you.
[01:11:15] Kingdom will free you.
[01:11:18] Kingdom will free you.
[01:11:19] Religion will control you.
[01:11:20] Because they just lost their ability to control a woman who was always in a bad situation.
[01:11:28] And now what does Jesus do?
[01:11:30] At the very end, perplexed minds don't understand this, but it makes total sense.
[01:11:34] Lift up your hand because I'm going to pray over you.
[01:11:36] This is important.
[01:11:38] Jesus says after her body's healed,
[01:11:41] She's restored.
[01:11:41] Immediately she starts praising God, right?
[01:11:45] And glorifying God is what the Bible says.
[01:11:47] Same with Stephen.
[01:11:48] Same with them.
[01:11:48] Glorifying God.
[01:11:49] Immediately.
[01:11:50] There are gods all over you.
[01:11:52] Come here.
[01:11:57] Today is your Jubilee.
[01:12:00] Jubilee.
[01:12:05] The power of God!
[01:12:09] Now in the name of Jesus, let that fire, let that fire, let that fire, let that fire break every chain, stir up the gift of God.
[01:12:18] The days of just like, how long Lord, how long are over?
[01:12:23] It is your Jubilee, says the Spirit of God.
[01:12:25] It's over right now in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
[01:12:30] Watch what happens.
[01:12:32] She gets restored.
[01:12:33] And what does Jesus do?
[01:12:35] He immediately, hear me, because this goes to the most important part.
[01:12:40] Keep your hands lifted, because I'm preaching for it to fall on you.
[01:12:42] Watch.
[01:12:43] He immediately says, what is the kingdom of God like?
[01:12:48] That whole narrative was all about the kingdom of God.
[01:12:53] So, He heals this woman that's been in church for 18 years.
[01:12:59] by preaching and proclaiming the gospel and he says the religious people get outraged and Jesus says what's the kingdom they're ticked the pastor's mad he says what's the kingdom of God like she's now in right position he goes what's the kingdom of God like and he gives them two examples he says number one
[01:13:27] it's a mustard seed it's small in size but it's unstoppable in growth the importance of that is as I preached and as you made an act of obedience to come down to this altar there's a mustard seed kingdom in you and it's small the power and the fire of God is all over you Eli I can visibly see it the glory of God's all over you
[01:13:54] Maybe I don't see it on someone else.
[01:13:57] Or maybe I do.
[01:13:58] It doesn't matter whether I see it.
[01:14:00] Because what just happened that moved you down is mustard seed kingdom.
[01:14:06] and when you have mustard seed kingdom it's small in size but it's unstoppable in growth if you don't understand a mustard seed go study the mustard seed because as it grows it's the smallest of seeds but as it grows it grows wild and unstoppable it's a mustard seed and in six months you keep coming back and keep coming back and keep coming back and keep sitting under Pastor Brad keep sitting under this teaching keep sitting under it it's going to be unstoppable it's growing
[01:14:34] and then he says he says this because mustard seed is the kingdom's invisible but it becomes undeniable you can't it's like undeniable then he says it's like leaven he says it's a mustard seed and he says it's like leaven now leaven's a little different it's hidden within but transforms everything it touches so the kingdom may work in secret but its influence is in total
[01:15:03] So you don't have to go tomorrow to your workplace and start throwing oil on the ceiling.
[01:15:10] You don't have to go and start going,
[01:15:12] you don't have to start praying in tongues everything you just have to go in position in righteousness in divine accurate order in peace and in spiritual strength and joy and watch what happens starts changing and then all of a sudden the enemy goes let's see how long this is going to last try to hit you with something step into it step into adversity with righteousness come on you aren't hearing me
[01:15:38] with peace and joy the enemy says i can't believe it i'm gonna make it harder i'm gonna make her knees buckle if that one didn't get her we crucified her saying she's a woman that one didn't get her in righteousness and peace and enjoy she's a prosperity teacher in righteousness and peace and joy
[01:15:59] Apparently, it's been so vile this week, you won't even believe what it is.
[01:16:06] In righteousness, in peace, and in joy.
[01:16:10] And you know what just starts to happen?
[01:16:12] It all falls off.
[01:16:13] It all falls off.
[01:16:14] And God starts dealing with it.
[01:16:17] And you want to know something?
[01:16:18] Then it's like, let's take a hit at our ministry.
[01:16:22] Thank you.
[01:16:23] We had the greatest giving we'd ever had that week for that, for something that was declining in one way.
[01:16:30] It went way up.
[01:16:32] If the enemy knew, he would have never crucified Jesus.
[01:16:37] So what I'm saying is when they hit you, when they nail you, because when you start walking in kingdom, you're not, he goes, Jesus says, no, he said, like they said, will you deliver us from the world?
[01:16:49] That's basically what the disciples are asking.
[01:16:52] And Father God said, tell them no.
[01:16:55] I'm not bringing them out of it.
[01:16:57] But what I'm going to do is be with them.
[01:17:01] And I'm going to protect them from the evil one.
[01:17:04] So every time the enemy attacks, you're a citizen of King.
[01:17:09] You're a deep well.
[01:17:11] You're a deep well.
[01:17:13] Push back.
[01:17:15] Push back.
[01:17:17] Imagine it in the natural.
[01:17:20] If someone came to mess with my grandbaby, y'all already know.
[01:17:27] Y'all already know.
[01:17:29] If someone came to mess with them, verbally, I'm like, physically, take them, hurt them, in any way.
[01:17:42] That person better know they're on their last breath.
[01:17:46] Why?
[01:17:47] I don't care if I am 5'4".
[01:17:51] and and this i'm a lot more with those shoes on i take the bottom of that see someone's going to take just the bottom of the hill and poke them in their eye i'm giving you something natural to why because i would push back with every ounce of me i would use every dime every dollar i have to make sure that you were prosecuted to the most i'd use every network i have for influence why because i love them
[01:18:20] Are you hearing what I'm saying?
[01:18:23] I'd push back.
[01:18:25] I'd push back spiritually.
[01:18:27] See, I'm hitting something here and I'm closing.
[01:18:30] Some of you think this is all just like ambiguity.
[01:18:34] No, spirituality is more real than the physical realm.
[01:18:39] I'd push back spiritually.
[01:18:41] I'd push back naturally.
[01:18:43] I'd push back physically if I could see it and do something about it.
[01:18:47] I'd push back legally.
[01:18:49] I'd prosecute them to the max.
[01:18:51] I'd push back with everybody I know.
[01:18:54] Why?
[01:18:55] Because if you go to hurt something I love, I'm gonna push back on it.
[01:19:01] You don't even love yourself enough to push back against the devil.
[01:19:06] If you start loving yourself like God loves you, every time the enemy comes in, you'll push back.
[01:19:13] You'll push back spiritually.
[01:19:15] You'll push back physically.
[01:19:17] You'll push back naturally.
[01:19:19] You'll push back with every system, every network, everything you have.
[01:19:23] Why are you letting the enemy just have a heyday with you?
[01:19:28] Push back.
[01:19:30] It's your Jubilee.
[01:19:32] Y'all ready to do some pushback?
[01:19:36] Father God I've been faithful to your word today the kingdom of God has come your will has been done any spirit that comes against you principality power wickedness or darkness according to Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 that tries to pull you out of alignment
[01:20:02] that tries to make you into a position that you were not created for.
[01:20:06] Let it be broken right now in the name of Jesus.
[01:20:10] Let every bondage, any debt on your soul, let it be broken.
[01:20:15] You're exonerated by the blood of Jesus.
[01:20:17] And through the kingdom of God, I call you forth to your citizenship.
[01:20:21] Wear your righteous robe.
[01:20:23] Wear your garments of salvation.
[01:20:25] That is grace.
[01:20:28] Walk in the power of Christ.
[01:20:30] Walk in the anointing that He released.
[01:20:32] Prophesy to yourself.
[01:20:34] Lay hands on yourself.
[01:20:36] Decree and declare according to Job 22 verse 28, and it will be established in the name of Jesus.
[01:20:41] Come in agreement with the Word of God.
[01:20:43] In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[01:20:46] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but the Word shall remain forever.
[01:20:50] Isaiah 55 10 says, The Word shall not return void, but it will prosper that which it sends to.
[01:20:55] The Bible says that the glory of man is as grass that withers and the flower that fadeth, but the Word is eternal.
[01:21:02] It shall remain forever.
[01:21:03] So I decree the Word, I decree the Kingdom, I decree the King's commands, the Constitution over you right now, that you are healed, you are free, you are delivered, you are whole, you are exonerated, and there is no more shame in Jesus' mighty name.
[01:21:18] And everybody said Amen.
