1KINGDOM NOT RELIGION

Would you turn to Matthew 4 please. I believe if we can grasp this message tonight, your
world will change. You know God is bringing us to other areas - other levels. You know a few
Saturdays ago, the Holy Spirit shared on a Saturday morning about the river of God that was
going up and then turning left. It was about staying in the anointing, staying in the river and
denying yourself. And that when the river turns, if you are not in God’s will, if you are not
walking correctly, if your heart’s not right, you are going to miss the turn. Amen? And
yesterday somebody came to me and they had a dream and it was pretty powerful because it
was the disciples loaded up in the van. And I am not going to go into the whole dream but
everybody was driving one way and other parts of the ministry were following them when all
of a sudden the van turned left. And the van turned left and all the cars were trying to sway
out of the way and whatever. A motorcycle hit the tail of the van but went through it and the
person was not hurt. And like I said then all of a sudden the van— all the cars were trying to
go all the way around it and all kinds of things and then the person woke up and came and
told me the dream. And I knew the Holy Spirit was telling me – that he was giving me
confirmation of what was given already from the vision I had in the Spirit. He was confirming–
in other words, the Spirit tells us things to come. Now we knew there was a shift in the Spirit
and so he gave us confirmation. But then when the confirmation comes he lets you know—
when the shift has been established in the Spirit, there is something he is about to give you
to bring you to another place. Are you with me? See because the shift is in the Spirit – so he
arms you and begins to impart in you, so that you can walk in that level that he has brought
you to. If you are not ready to walk in that level– in other words he brings you to the level
and then he teaches you how to walk in it. It’s like a period of grace – where if you can’t walk
in that level you are going to be taken out. Hello. Now, I’m not talking about literally taken
out. I’m talking about you missing what God is doing right then. Then you will have to go
back in that cycle and get back up to that level. Are you with me? In Matthew 4:12 – and I
believe that this message— and we are going to do a series— because there are certain
things we have got to understand. And as a believer we have to understand these things
because we have been in deception - and even the body of Christ is in deception in certain
areas. Are you with me? Amen? And the body of Christ is constantly going through
deliverance and healing. And we know the devil’s greatest weapon is deception and his
power is fear. And he is always trying to deceive us to get us to go astray, isn’t he. In some
way or another. In Matthew 4:12 it says, Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in
prison, He departed to Galilee. And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum,
which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, galilee of the Gentiles: The people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has
dawned. From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand. Everybody say that. Repent. For the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Now
the word “repent” - we have to understand something— What he is saying in this word
repent, is that it is time to change your mind. Are you with me? Change your mind. We are
assisted with repentance because when you and I repent, the Blood of Christ is activated.
Amen? Which gives you an opportunity to change your mind or take another course. Are you
with me? He said repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand or has drawn near. Now the
kingdom that he is talking about, if it is of heaven is invisible, isn’t it. Amen? It’s invisible.
So a kingdom which is invisible, that is in heaven, has come to the earth to become visible.
Are you with me? The kingdom of heaven has come to the earth to become what? Visible.
Okay? Oh, hallelujah. Now, he is saying, turn from your ways and come into the real
kingdom. Now Jesus did not come and preach, repent because religion is here. I want to
share something with you and that is that we need to come out of the mind-set that
Christianity is a religion. It is not a religion. Christians are citizens of a kingdom. And we
must get understanding about what a kingdom really is. Then you will know who you are and
what the whole course in God’s purpose is— in everything that’s involved. Are you with me?
Remember Jesus did not come— He did not come to bring religion. Amen? He came to bring
a what? Kingdom. He came to bring a what? Kingdom. Now what is a kingdom? Well a
kingdom if you split the word is a “king” “dom.” Right? A king is one that rules over a
territory and a territory is a representation of a domain. Amen? So it is someone who rules
over a territory or a domain— he is known as a king. Are you with me? Now the territoryis
governed— now understand this. The territory is governed by the king’s purpose. The king’s
purpose, the king’s will, the king’s culture, values, morals and lifestyle. In the hope that the
king’s desire will become the nature of his citizens. Come on, are you with me? I’m going to
repeat this. A king is one who rules. He rules a territory called a domain. The territory is
governed by the king’s purpose, his will, his culture, values, morals, lifestyle. In the hope that
the king’s desires become the nature of his citizens. Are you with me? Okay. Now, this is
God’s government. See the governing is called government. Are you understanding this?
Now God’s government is ruled as a kingdom. His kingdom is ruled as a government. It is a
government. It is God’s government. There is a difference between God’s government and
man’s government. Oh, hallelujah. God’s government is the ruling authority that governs the
people according to the king’s ethics and principles. Come on. God’s government, alright, is
the ruling authority that governs the people according to the king’s ethics, principles and – I
am going to give you one other thing – wealth. Okay God’s government, alright— It is the
ruling authority that governs the people according to the king’s ethics, principles and wealth.
There is no distinction of rich or poor. All citizens have equal access to kingdom wealth,
which is called common wealth. Do you understand that? This is God’s kingdom, alright.
This is God’s government. God’s government is the ruling authority according to the king’s
ethics, principles and wealth. In other words, there is no distinction of poor or rich.
Everybody has access. Everybody has access. Is everybody with me? To the king’s wealth.
Amen? Everybody has access to his kingdom wealth. In fact, the word “welfare” is because a
king was concerned about the welfare of his people. It wasn’t like what we have in the
government now. Are you with me? They call a commonwealth in our government now, an
area where there are grants or money distributed to a certain sector— where there is the
commonwealth and they can only release so much as to whatever is needed or where
someone has qualified for it. But in God’s kingdom, the government of God’s kingdom— is
that everybody has access to the king’s wealth. And I’m not talking just about money. I’m
talking about everything: wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing -- everything. A king is
one who owns all the land. And he begins to purchase other areas to colonize it. Now let me
explain something. In the old time - or the old testament, in certain areas – and I am not
going to get into all of this stuff because we are going through a series. But we are getting
an understanding of what a kingdom is. First of all there is a king that owns territory. He
owns the land. And what he does, in this area— what he does is allow people to live on his
land. He owns all the land. He allows people to live on his land. Alright. They cultivate it.
They use the land - because of his graciousness. And then what they do is they give an
offering to the king for using the land. Are you with me? But nobody buys the land. They
use it. And then what happens is the king— once the king- once everybody becomes
associated with his ethics and principles, and everybody has access to the commonwealth
then the king sends somebody out – or a mission out – to go purchase more land, which we
call colonizing. Are you with me? Okay. Now the king is the king of that land. Alright. When
he goes and sends out to colonize, he is still king of his land but whoever is ruling that land
that is being colonized is called a king also. Unless the king shows up on that land, then the
king that was ruling that land is no longer a king. Are you with me? But then when the king
leaves that land, that person that was a king takes his office again. That is how it was run.
Are you with me? Of course we know that according to many of the movies we have seen
and many of the things that were run - because it was run by man and not by God— we know
that a kingdom existed of a king that was concerned about his own wealth and well-being.
The more he owned the more power he had and that is where they had peasants and people
that were poor and begging for bread and whatever. But the king didn’t support them, did
he. He just took from the poor to support his own empire. But I am talking about God’s
government. Amen? So a king is one who owns all the land and one who begins to purchase
other territories to colonize them. To expand his will and purpose— his plan, lifestyle and
wealth to anyone willing to obey his kingdom rule or government. Are you with me? So what
he does is then– anyone willing to come under submission to his ruling government, he
provides everything to them just like he did the other ones. Now his rule in government or
his rule in laws is called a constitution. And we are not going to talk about all that tonight -
but we will. Oh, hallelujah. So those that are willing to submit— under the constitution of
that land - of that government, everything is available to them. Even protection for them.
But everybody is equal. Everybody has the same access to all the riches of the king. Are you
with me? Go to Isaiah 9. Oh, hallelujah. Isaiah chapter 9. Whew! Is it hot in here? Thought
so. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Do we have the AC up? Is everybody hot? Let’s cool it off in
here! I’m for that. Isaiah chapter 9, in verse 6. Isaiah 9:6, would you read it with me. For
unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the what? –government will be upon His
shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the
throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice,
from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will what? –perform this.
So Jesus we know is the king. And his government is everlasting. I want to share something
with you. Earth was colonized by the kingdom of heaven. So your mind— our peanut brain
mind cannot comprehend all that is happening, but we can comprehend as much as we can.
Amen? So if you look at the kingdom of heaven— so there was already a kingdom in heaven,
right? God chose to create the natural realm to establish his kingdom that was unseen in an
arena that was seen. Are you with me? So the earth was colonized and a king was placed
here to rule. Amen? Okay. Jesus came here to bring the kingdom not religion. Amen? Now
let me tell you what religion does. Religion seeks to bring earth to heaven. Kingdom seeks to
bring heaven to earth. Religion seeks self-exaltation. Kingdom seeks the king. These are
kingdom ethics aren’t they. Religion prepares a man to leave the earth. And kingdom
empowers a man to dominate the earth. In other words, we are not allowing life’s
circumstances to rule us. Life no longer rules you. You rule the circumstances of life. That’s
what the kingdom does, doesn’t it. Religion seeks service or servants. I know that we call
things— servants but I am going to share something with you a little bit different. The
kingdom seeks stewards. That’s the difference. Do you understand this? Religion seeks
service but the kingdom seeks stewards. Religion seeks to dominate the man. Kingdom
seeks to free the man. Oh, hallelujah. Go to Matthew 23. We are in a kingdom not in a
religion. This is not an organization. It is a living organism. Are you with me? That is
associated with a kingdom. So the earth was colonized by the kingdom of heaven. Now you
can go way back. And way back, and way back. And you wonder - you know— I’ll never
forget that one day the Lord had me roll up a piece of paper and he said to me - he said, Guy
when I created all things, my angels and heavenly host were all here. He said, roll out the
piece of paper. And I rolled out the piece of paper he said, when the universe was created it
was like a piece of paper that rolled out and we all stood there as I called it in. And he said to
me roll up the piece of paper again and I rolled up the piece of paper and he says now hold it
and put yourself where everybody else was and I was like— what do you mean? Now in my
next creation, you will be there when I roll out my next creation. In other words, we will be
watching the next creation like the heavenly host watched this creation. Because— see you
have to understand something. This is a kingdom and an everlasting kingdom. Do you
understand something that we are going to continue to colonize and colonize and colonize.
Come on!!! Are you with me? Do you get this!!!!! We are going to colonize— this is just a
training ground right now!!!! You are part of the first colonization that is going to go and
extend into eternity!!! And you will rule and reign in places depending upon your obedience!!
Oh we get so caught up in this foolishness. In Matthew 23, is everybody there? —Why?
Because you are part of a kingdom and not a religion. I am a citizen of a kingdom. And we
are not going into all that tonight but we will. In verse 13, Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! Come on and read it with me. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against
men;— Wow! See he was coming down on the pharisees and scribes. Why? Because they
were not explaining the essence of the kingdom! They taught religion! Everyone is thinking
Christianity is a religion. It’s not a religion, it’s a kingdom!!! We just talked about some of
the things. We can go on all night and tell you the difference between what religion does and
the kingdom does. Every human being has within themselves —to want to be governed!
Everybody! Why? Because that is what you were birthed with. Everything in the whole
world is associated with the kingdom but they call it socialism or marxism or communism or
whatever but they are not righteous kingdoms, are they? Dictatorships, even democracies.
It’s not ruled by a king, it’s ruled by the people. Hello. They call it freedom but it’s as close
as we can get to freedom, isn’t it. But it’s still bondage. It’s still deception. We will not have
true rule until the king comes. Oh, hallelujah. Now— He says, Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither
go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers.
Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! He calls them all hypocrites, doesn’t he. For you travel land and sea to win one
proselyte, [in other words, like a disciple] and when he is won, you make him twice as much a
son of hell as yourselves. Why? Because they were cutting off the kingdom of heaven! They
were shutting off the kingdom of heaven. Go to Matthew 6. Oh, hallelujah. Man, when you
find out who you are— The enemy doesn’t want you to know who you are. Remember we
were born blind. And when the scales come off— See we were born in the kingdom of
darkness. But God broke down the walls. He said I saw satan fall like lightening. Hello.
That’s when he was thrown out of heaven. In verse 25 he said. In 6:25, is everybody there?
Therefore I say to you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than
clothing? Look at the birds of the air for they neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by
worrying can add one cubit to his stature? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider
the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin: And yet I say to you, That
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is thrown into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, What shall we wear? (For after all these things the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. That’s a
Christian. Are you with me? Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Seek the
kingdom– in other words, get understanding of what the kingdom is. Acknowledge what the
kingdom is. Become a part of the kingdom. Enter the kingdom. Comprehend the kingdom.
Are you understanding? Understand kingdom ethics. Understand kingdom principles. In
other words, he’s saying, listen I’m telling you to understand the kingdom and his
righteousness. In other words, his character, his will, his desires, his law, his word. Amen?
But there is something he said even before that. He said seek— seek first the kingdom. Seek
meaning put things in priority. Let me share something with you. The greatest failure is to
be successful in the wrong assignment. I’m going to repeat that. The greatest failure as a
believer is being successful in the wrong assignment. That’s why he said first seek the
kingdom of God and his righteousness. See if you do not seek the kingdom of God. If you
don’t seek him— If you don’t seek— he said seek the kingdom of God. Amen? Understand
what the kingdom of God is. Know who you are! And his righteousness— seek his character!
And then all things will be added unto you. Why? Because you have access to all the
commonwealth! Again to be successful— The greatest failure as a believer is to be successful
in the wrong assignment. Go to Genesis 1. Oh, hallelujah. So what we must do— he’s saying
- the word seek first means get your priorities in order. What are your priorities. He said
seek the kingdom of God. Not your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, your wife,
your husband! Hello. Seek ye the kingdom of God FIRST!!!! Don’t seek your finances to
make your decision. Oh seek first. So priorities must be in order. If priorities are not in
order, there is always trouble. In Genesis 1:1, it says, in the what? Stop. In other words, in
the beginning God created time. The word beginning means that time was created. In the
beginning. Because he was before the beginning. Amen? His kingdom was before the
beginning. It was an everlasting kingdom – before. And ever will be. So he has always been
a king, he has always reigned. His purpose was to expand in different dimensions to rule his
children that they would express and be impressed with his character. And colonize other
areas. He is a king! It didn’t say anything about a religious dude. In the beginning. In other
words, time was created. Now listen, time is the currency of your life. Time is the currency of
your life. In other words, whatever you buy— whatever you put your time into is where your
life is. Amen? Effective use of time must involve establishing correct priorities. Amen?
Why? Because correct priorities will protect time. It will protect energy. It will protect
discipline. It will protect your talents and gifts. It will protect the true purpose and calling.
Are you with me? Correct priorities— it simplifies things when things are done in order. It
doesn’t cause confusion. Confusion is just associated with priorities that are not in order.
That’s all. That’s why confusion comes. And the devil loves to bring confusion so that your
priorities are messed up. Seek ye the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Those are two
priorities. Seek the kingdom of God. That and his righteousness are the priorities of survival
and success according to the will of God. He said seek the kingdom of God and his
righteousness – those two should be the main priorities of your life. They are priorities of
humanity - to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Diligently. Not you know—
I’m talking about – You are to diligently - you are to be dedicated in finding out what the
kingdom is. Are you with me? And then you are to get in alignment with the authority, his
authority or government. His. So we are not only to seek diligently, find out, get
understanding of what the kingdom is but then get in alignment with his authority. Because
if you are not under authority, you have none. In other words, study the kingdom. Hallelujah.
Now it says, in the beginning - in other words, God created time. And then it says, God
created the what? Heavens. The kingdom of heaven was colonized by his will, spiritual hosts
and righteousness. Are you with me? Heaven was colonized by his will, his spiritual hosts
and his righteousness. Heaven. Oh, hallelujah. Go to John 1. John chapter 1. John 1:1. Is
everybody okay? Are you getting this? See you don’t belong to a religion. You belong to a
kingdom. That makes you a citizen. But we must understand what a kingdom is and get in
line with its authority, its government. That’s how people become successful in other things
but it wasn’t what they were supposed to be successful in. Can you imagine— how many
believers— the greatest failure is to be successful in the wrong assignment. Why? Because
they really didn’t seek or come under or get in alignment with the authority. Amen? An
individual that cannot comprehend what the kingdom is or come in line with the authority -
the governing powers of God almighty that he has placed in offices - will always become the
greatest failure because they seek to do the right thing but they don’t come in line with the
authority and the devil moves them to another place to become successful on the wrong
assignment. And they give God all the glory for their success but it’s the wrong assignment
and in God’s eyes it’s a failure. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made what? –
through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. So what gives him the right
to be king? He made it. Amen? Now— Well because he owns the territory, doesn’t he. So
he has the right to be king. Now for someone to be associated with kingship, it must be
inherited. It isn’t voted. We have a president that gets voted. That’s not my Daddy’s
kingdom! In my Daddy’s kingdom, you inherit kingship! Oh, hallelujah. So we see that the
Word was with God and the Word was God and all things were created through him and for
him. So the whole universe, this whole dimensional realm of the universe was created for
Jesus. That’s why he is king. Are you with me? Now if God the Father showed up on earth,
Jesus would not be king. Do you understand that? That’s why the earth was colonized.
Because Jesus is king of this dimensional creation. Hello. Oh, praise God. The universe was
made by God the Word. Amen? Praise God! So that gives him the authority to be king
because he owns the land, doesn’t he. Can you imagine owning the whole universe. You
know, we can’t even comprehend that. We have a hard enough time with the front lawn!
[Laughter]. Praise God. Colossians 1. Oh, to God be the glory! Colossians 1. Is everyone
okay? Glory to God. Colossians chapter 1. Hallelujah. In verse 13. Is everybody there? He
has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the what? —kingdom of
the Son of His love, [that is why he came as son - you’ll see] in whom we have redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the what? —invisible God, the
firstborn over all creation. In other words, this is a whole other dimension, isn’t it. For by Him
all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether
thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and
what? —for Him. That’s why you and I are his inheritance. And He is before all things, and in
Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, [The
beginning of what? This dimension.] the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may
have the preeminence. So you have to understand something, the universe was created– this
whole thing was created– God created another dimension, because he can. He created
another dimension so that he could colonize it. Why? Because he wanted to express and
share his love. His commonwealth and everything that he is. Hallelujah. Eternal kingdom.
The eternal kingdom. The invisible kingdom. God the Father, God the son and God the Holy
Spirit. He created the universe and is king. Now, let me tell you– first of all he is king which
gives him authority and power. Say, authority. And power. We will get back to that. First go
to Romans 1. Oh, hallelujah. Is everybody okay? The world is such a mess. If they
understood — if they understood that they were created out of God’s love - because he
wanted to colonize this dimension - we wouldn’t be in so much war. But you know people are
seeking authority and power because that is a desire within us. But it isn’t righteous what
they seek. They seek it for themselves. We seek it to expand His character. Do you
understand? Because within us there is a desire to colonize. We just could never get it up in
our pea brain. Oh, hallelujah. You know I used to watch a lot of Star Trek. I always wondered
why. After I got saved I used to watch some episodes and weep and cry and I would think,
what’s the matter with me!! I would see them go colonize or help people on another planet
that were stranded and whatever. They were trying to bring their ethics and character.
Because see in that there is no— everybody is associated with the commonwealth. There
aren’t people who get paid more because they are a captain or a dishwasher. It isn’t about
pay. It’s about the commonwealth– to expand and colonize. Do you understand what I am
saying? Praise God. One day we’re all going to get beamed up! [Laughter.] Hallelujah. You
can say, beam me up Jesus!! YES!!! [More laughter.] I have been wanting to get on that
transporter thing for a long time. [LOTS more of laughter!] Hallelujah! We’re going to go
where no man has gone before!!!! Hallelujah!!! In verse 16, For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew
first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith;
as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness [It is revealed from where? The invisible. Heaven.] and
unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be
known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the
world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,— what? His invisible attributes are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so
that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as
God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were
what? —darkened. Professing to be wise, they became what? —fools, and changed the glory
of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed
animals and creeping things. In other words they began to worship creation instead of
worshiping the creator. They began to seek the hand of God instead of the face of God.
Gimme, gimme, gimme.... Those are invisible attributes that you and I know and see. But
they are not invisible to us are they. In I Timothy 1. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Praise God. I
Timothy 1:15. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, as a pattern to those who are going
to believe on him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who
alone is wise, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. So he acknowledged him as what?
King eternal, didn’t he. Amen? Qualified by inheritance. Owner of the land and territory in
the universe. Creator of the visible and invisible realm. Inherited authority and power. Now
let me share something with you. Authority has to do with responsibility. Power has to do
with ability. Want me to repeat it? Authority has to do with responsibility. You have
authority— An individual that is not responsible will never have authority. He may act like
and think he does, but he doesn’t. Because he is irresponsible. Responsibility is associated
with authority! Hello. And power has to do with ability. But first of all understand this:
authority gives power its legality. Come on, repeat it with me. Authority. Gives power. Its
legality. Right. Authority is associated with responsibility, isn’t it. We just said that. If an
individual is not under authority, he has none. If he is not under authority, it’s because he is
not responsible. He’s irresponsible. That means he has no authority. That means if he
doesn’t have authority, he doesn’t have any power. Because authority [Hello] makes power
legal— puts it in the legal arena. Why? Because it goes back to falling under the
government. Are you with me? It goes back to falling under the kingdom government.
That’s why people are getting beaten up left and right. Because they associate with that
independent spirit and think that they can just go out and do whatever they want and call on
Jesus. No, I don’t have to submit to anybody - the bible says that I’m the church. We are the
church. We are the members of the church. The church is the whole body. You can’t just go
out and do what you want to do. It doesn’t work that way. Why? Because if you are not
under authority, you have none. And because you are not responsible to go under authority,
you are then out of the governmental alignment and you have no power. And the enemy will
kick your butt! Because he knows this. See he knows about kingdom stuff. That’s why he
has been trying to prevent it from being established or even understood all of these years.
But God said he would reveal things in the last days and we are in them. We are in the last
minutes. Oh, hallelujah. Matthew 7. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Matthew 7:24, I believe.
Okay. Are you there? Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will
liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock: And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall: for it was
founded on a rock. But every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them,
shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. Why? Because he did not
fall under the government, did he. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell: and great was its fall. And so it was when
Jesus had ended these things, the people were astonished at his teaching: For he taught
them as one having what? —authority, and not as the what? —scribes. Not as the religious!
Because he was expressing about the kingdom of God with authority and power. Not
associated with religiosity that brings bondage. Matthew 28. Are you there? Glory!
Glorious!!! Matthew 28. That’s why God’s bringing the body of Christ through deliverance.
So that they can fall under government rule. Why? So they can walk with authority and
power. In verse 18. And Jesus came to speak to them saying, All authority has been given to
me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all
things that I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Wow!! He said listen– he made that confession, All authority has been given me in both the
visible realm and the invisible realm. Why? Because I own it all. Hello. In Psalm 62. Praise
God. Psalm 62. Is everybody there? In verse 9, Surely men of low degree are vapor, and
men of high degree are a lie: if they were weighed on scales they are all together lighter than
vapor. Do not trust not in oppression, nor vainly hope in robbery: if riches increase, do not
set your heart on them. God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs to
God. Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to each one according to his work.
Power belongs to who? God. Go to John 10. I know I am moving a little bit faster. It’s okay.
You can get the tape. John 10. Praise be to God. Hallelujah! John 10. In verse 14. I am the
good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known by my own. As the Father knows me,
even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold [Or this dimension. Hello.] them also I must bring, and they will hear
my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves me,
because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it
down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father. Wow! See because he inherited it, didn’t he.
He was the creator of this entire dimension. The visible and the invisible. Because he owns it
all. He is the king. He is the landlord. Hallelujah. He is the king of eternity. The dimensional
kingship– he will express through every corner of the dimension of this creation, whether
visible or invisible. His eternal character. His purpose and will. From one end of the universe
to the other end of the universe, his will is being manifested. Whether visible or invisible.
Because he owns it all. Are you with me. The bible says in Psalm 24, the earth is the Lords.
Psalm 24:1, 2. The earth is the what? Lords. Praise God. Go to Isaiah 45:18, For thus said
the LORD that created the heavens; who is God, who formed the earth and made it; who
established it, and did not create it in vain, who formed it to be what? —inhabited: I am the
LORD; and there is no other. Go to Leviticus 25. Leviticus is a representation of the Levites
who are the tabernacle keepers. The tribe of Levites. They are priests. Leviticus 25. Now I
want to share a little bit. I got a call from my wife who is in Israel. In Jerusalem. And she said
she went to the wailing wall and some other places where the temple mount was and stuff
and she said she was grieved in her spirit because she said that the— you could see the
difference in the people who were joyful and who were miserable. You could see the spirit of
hatred on many of the arab children and so forth. You could see that. She said that many of
– certain places that you would think would be clean and so forth were dirty and nasty. She
said that she sensed in her spirit— the escalation that it’s like the land can’t take it much
more. And the bible says that the earth groans for the revealing of the sons of God. She was
expressing to me – she said, you know it’s beautiful, I love it, I can feel the presence of God in
certain areas but you could feel the demonic influence tremendously here also. And she says
it’s like the land is just about to explode. She knows something is going to happen soon. You
know righteousness and unrighteousness will peak. Now listen to this, verse 23. And you
have to understand that all the fight over there is over land. Amen? The land shall not be
sold permanently. Are you with me? Is everybody there? For the land is mine, for you are
strangers and sojourners with me. In Israel, no foreigner can buy a piece of property. You
can lease it but you can’t own it. Only those who are citizens– Israeli citizens. Are you with
me? And that really isn’t done anywhere else in the world, that I know of. See that is part of
kingdom ethics, isn’t it. That’s why the whole world is going to come against Israel. That’s
why people are fighting— in fact, God set certain standards in that he gave the Israelites all
of this certain land. And people are still trying to take it. In fact, there— because the
government is not ruled by God (and we are going to go into this later) they are giving up
land that belongs to the Israelites and that is what this whole fight is over. They call their
organizations religious sects. But God didn’t bring religion, he brought a kingdom. See they
are fighting over religious beliefs - which are nothing but lies. And they are fighting over land
that is not rightfully theirs. It’s Gods. And he’s coming back for that land. And he is going to
destroy anyone who is on that land that does not belong there. Look over there, people are
blowing up one another and everything else. They are shifting, they are giving away pieces
of property. Why? —and it’s all God’s. Do you understand this? This is about a kingdom
thing, not a religious thing. But they are using a religious aspect, well we believe this belongs
to us– and you know what, war is going on, isn’t it. The land shall not be sold permanently:
for the land is mine, for you are strangers and sojourners with me. And in all the land of your
possession you shall grant redemption of the land. If one of your brethren becomes poor and
has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he
may redeem what his brother sold. Amen? Let’s see - where am I? Praise God. Or if the
man has no one to redeem it, and he himself becomes able to redeem it; Then let him count
the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it; that he
may return to his possession. See they called this Jubilee. So every 50 years the land has to
go back to its rightful owner. That’s what happens in Israel. That’s called Jubilee. That’s
what God set up. Is everybody with me? The land goes back to its rightful owner. Do you
understand why there is so much fight their now? I mean - it’s incredible! They are fighting
over land, over mosques, over positions - whatever. It’s all the Lords!!!! And he is coming
back and will wipe out every stinking thing there and take back his land and put his people
there. Oh, hallelujah. The land belongs to the Lord. Go to Matthew 20. Is everybody okay? I
only have a couple more scriptures – but I have a lot of verses so hang tough. [Laughter.]
Matthew 20:1, For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner! One day I was struggling with
my eyes and I would not put on reading glasses. And I was doing a service and I said, the
kingdom of heaven is like a lawnmower. [Laughter.] Everybody was dying. So was I! It got
really hot in here, instantly! The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner. Like a landlord.
Why? Because he is Lord over all the land. Did you ever hear the word real-estate? Do you
know where it comes from? Estate, which means land, that is real. Hello. That’s real estate.
Why? Because it can’t lose its value. That’s the only thing on this earth— do you know what
I call oil? Liquid real estate. Can’t lose it’s value. Oh, hallelujah. The landowner went out
early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now when he had agreed with the
laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the
third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said to them; do you also
want to go in the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went. Again he went
out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went
out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why have you been standing here idle
all day? They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He said to them, You also go into
the vineyard, and whatever is right, that you shall receive. So when evening had come, the
owner of the vineyard said to his steward,— his what? —steward, [that means he is a
righteous king] Call the laborers, and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the
first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a
denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and
they likewise received each a denarius. And when they had received it, they complained
against the landowner. Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made
them equal to us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. Now, wait a minute,
remember we talked about what a kingdom is. Everybody is equal – to the same
commonwealth. Amen? But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I am doing you no
wrong: did not you agree with me for a denarius? Take that yours is, and go your way: I wish
to give to this last man the same as you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own
things? Or is your eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for
many are called, but what? —few are chosen. Go to 22. Glory to God. Matthew 22. And
Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like
a certain king, who arranged a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call those
who were invited to the wedding: and they were not all willing to come. Again, he sent out
other servants, saying, Tell those whom I have invited, See I have prepared my dinner: my
oxen and my fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready: come to the wedding. But they
made light of it, and went their what? —ways, one to his farm, another to his business: And
the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king
heard about it, he was furious and he sent our his what? —armies, destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city. Then said he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
they which were bidden were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and ask as many
as you find, and invite them to the wedding. So those servants went out into the highways,
and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was
filled with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did
not have on a wedding garment: And he said to him, Friend— Now who did Jesus say friend
to? Judas. He said what? He said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without a
wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand
and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but what? —few are chosen. Now he was expressing
his kingdom, isn’t he. Everything he talked about in all the parables and everything was
associated with the kingdom. Kingdom business. Kingdom ethics. Kingdom rule. Everything
is associated with kingdom. Remember he came to bring a kingdom, not religion. Amen?
And I want to close at Matthew 13. Hallelujah. Matthew 13:18. Therefore, hear the parable
of the sower. When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then
the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who
received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed on stony places, is he that
hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy; Yet he has no root in himself and
endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word,
immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he that hears the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed on good ground is he that hears the word, and
understands it; who indeed bears fruit, and produces, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and
some thirty. The kingdom of God. Everything is spoken about the kingdom of God. Is
everybody with me? The kingdom of God. Amen? We are going to go into other areas but I
don’t want to go any further tonight. And, God willing, may be we will continue this Sunday.
Father, we thank you for your word and I pray that each and every one here will get the
understanding of the kingdom – in this three dimensional position of its character and ethics
and of its purpose of colonization. And Lord we thank you that you are King of kings and Lord
of lords and that you have called us. Lord let this seed grow and bear fruit for your glory. I
apply the blood of Jesus on these seeds that they not be stolen. And I am asking Lord that
your kingdom be manifested with revelation and impartation in us and through us. In Jesus’
name. And everybody said? AMEN.
