00:09:11All right. A huge thank you for all of those who came out and joined us on yesterday for Kingdom Connection.

00:09:30Thank you for thinking of me. It's a wonderful thing to come together with God's people.
00:09:34And I so enjoy each time we do a huge thank you to our very own Pastor Charmaine and to Bread of Life and all those who come together.
00:09:43You know, it's the same scripture was for the scripture for the day I was reading and it said, forsake not to assemble yourselves together.
00:09:51So that was a blessing. And we encourage you to do that. OK. We encourage you to get out when you can.
00:09:57These live streams are very special. I believe they're ordained of God.
00:10:01But when you get a chance, you ought to come out and join us and come together in Jesus' name.

00:10:54Get this word out. Let someone be blessed.
00:10:56If you're blessed, someone else will be blessed as well.
00:11:00All right. We thank God for each and every one of you.
00:11:03And we are ready to go into the word of God.
00:11:06We have a whole new study that we'll be sharing with you the next couple of weeks.
00:11:11A very, very important study.
00:11:14I mean, this one is big.
00:11:15Okay. Really big, big, big.
00:11:17But before we do that, I must give a shout out to our very own Talisha Vaughn, woman of God.
00:11:25It's your season, your birthday blessings unto you, woman of God.
00:11:32120, be unto you like and unto Moses.
00:11:36Enjoy your season.
00:11:38Seize your season.
00:11:40In Jesus' name, to all those who have entered into their season, your birthday is not just a day.
00:11:47It's a season.
00:11:49Seize it.
00:11:50Enjoy it.
00:11:51Be blessed of the Lord.
00:11:52All right.
00:11:55Who do you say I am?
00:11:58Some of you remember that wonderful scripture where Jesus was actually dealing with his disciples.
00:12:07And he challenged them.
00:12:09And this is going to be a very challenging study.
00:12:14So I want you to be prepared and get ready for it.
00:12:17You're going to learn some things that perhaps you never knew about Jesus and his disciples.
00:12:23We're going to walk you through the real understanding of names and how important they are and why Jesus was really confronting them concerning who he was.
00:12:37All right.
00:12:38So we got a lot to unpack.
00:12:40So let's get started.
00:12:42You want to have pen and paper on hand because it's going to be very important, some of the notes that you take.
00:12:48So spirit of the living God, thank you.
00:12:51Thank you for this beautiful day, for this wonderful first Sunday.
00:12:55We acknowledge you.
00:12:57We thank you.
00:12:57It's a first fruit Sunday.
00:12:59And we bless you with the first fruit of our lips.
00:13:02We offer it up.
00:13:04We bow in humble adoration.
00:13:06We acknowledge you in Jesus' mighty name.
00:13:09We submit to your authority.
00:13:11We submit to your power.
00:13:13And we thank you for all we're about to receive in Jesus' name.
00:13:19Amen and amen.
00:13:22All right.
00:13:23We are going to visit some scriptures.
00:13:25I think I'll begin with Matthew chapter 5 and verse 38 and verse 43 and verse 44.
00:13:35I kind of stretch it out because I want you to take some time.
00:13:38When you get some time after we teach this, guess what?
00:13:41I won't even have to tell you.
00:13:42You're going to go and read it for yourself and you're going to see things that you saw before, but now they're really going to be magnified in your spirit.
00:13:52You know, throughout Jesus' ministry, his teaching, his time with his disciples, many times, many times he would make statements such as, you've heard it said.
00:14:06And he'd say, from this time or another, from that time, you've heard it said of the prophets, or you've heard it said.
00:14:14But then he would say, okay, but I say.
00:14:19And he would go on and describe to them what was so important.
00:14:24This was so important because you don't see this just once in the scriptures.
00:14:30You see it repetitive, repetitive, repeatedly over and over again because he was really, this teaching is going to really reveal, you know, Jesus and why he really came.
00:14:45Because he didn't come for all the reasons why so many have preached and said and got, you know, it's kind of so off.
00:14:54Until that's why even with his disciples, he stopped and said, but I say.
00:15:00So what was he doing?
00:15:01Jesus was bringing reformation.
00:15:05Now that may seem like a big word, but it's really just simply the reforming of what was originally given.
00:15:13He was bringing restoration and he made it very clear to them.
00:15:21And see, reformation is the kind of thing, if you're going to reform something, unless you first correct the wrong information that you've heard, you know, that's why he said, but I say.
00:15:35See, but I say means what you have heard is coming to an end, okay, because that's not correct.
00:15:44So hear what I'm saying now.
00:15:49In other words, you've heard it said, you've heard this and you've heard that, but now this is what I say and this is what you need to hear.
00:15:58So what is he doing?
00:15:59He's presenting the language of reformation that there has to be.
00:16:04In that read, we see read, we taught a whole message on just the two little letters read, because that is what's taking place from Genesis right up to Revelations.
00:16:18So, again, you cannot bring reformation unless you first correct the wrong information.
00:16:25You have to see what he's presenting to them.
00:16:29So to have the full power of the kingdom of God, and that's what he really came to bring, you must leave what you have been told, okay, that's not producing the power of the kingdom of God.
00:16:45This is where it gets really real, because, you know, we don't understand that when something is set in one way, and that's the way, because Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
00:17:00When that is set and you're not producing that, then reformation must take place.
00:17:06So to have the full power of the kingdom, we have got to leave, you know, what we thought we were, what we thought, and we have to get to what was he actually saying so that we can start producing the power of the kingdom.
00:17:23Now, take a look at Acts chapter 11, and I hope you'll check with me because this is very important.
00:17:30I know some may think, well, this is not exactly what, just bear with me, and we'll get to some serious, you know, revelation.
00:17:39Acts 11 and 26 says, and when he had found him, we're talking about Paul, okay, his name was Paul, changed, he was Saul, but he was changed to Paul.
00:17:50He brought him onto Antioch, and it came to pass that a whole year, they assembled themselves with the church, and they taught much people.
00:18:05Now, watch this, and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
00:18:12So, first of all, you've got to understand that this is a powerful and very revealing statement, okay?
00:18:22The disciples were called, well, they were under the Roman Empire.
00:18:26The rule of the Roman Empire was very stern.
00:18:31They were very paganistic, and they were absolutely influencing and having a great deal of law, especially for those who were not serving their, the Romans pagan gods and the pagan activities, the idol worship that they were all caught up into.
00:18:54Now, so those who were not, this was very unusual, it was very different, and whenever something different shows up, people have, they got to label it, they got to give it a name so they can relate to it, so they can see how they want to treat you.
00:19:15People want to name something so they can decide how they want to deal with it.
00:19:20So, this is the beginning of what is called institutional Christianity, okay?
00:19:27If you want to write that down, institutional Christianity, all right?
00:19:32And this institutional Christianity, you'll actually see how it begins to divide into subcultures.
00:19:46Subculture simply meaning denomination.
00:19:51Okay?
00:19:52And so, when you start seeing this institutional Christianity and then dividing into subcultures, this is why I originally, this whole series is coming under the title of A Kingdom Divided.
00:20:08All right?
00:20:08And we'll get to those scriptures as we go, so that you can really see you will know the truth, as the scripture says, and that's what makes you free.
00:20:16Why?
00:20:17Because you are free then to fully manifest the will of God and the kingdom in Jesus' name.
00:20:26So, this is also, it was the unintended consequences, okay?
00:20:32Of the, now, many of you remember, hopefully in your history, I taught about it some time ago, but you'll remember the Emperor Constantine, okay?
00:20:44And how he nationalized Christianity, okay?
00:20:50And, you know, at the time, it seemed like a good thing because he got rid of all the idol gods and he says, this is going to be the religion that, you know, will dominate that empire's rule, okay?
00:21:06So, this was the nationalization of Christianity, okay?
00:21:11To go from idolatry, okay, to Christianity for that age, that was a big thing.
00:21:19And all the, you know, quote, unquote, Christians were excited because they were no longer being persecuted and jailed for their faith, all right?
00:21:28And so, this was a major move that took place in the, you know, corridors of history.
00:21:35So, the greatest transition of our time, I'm bringing you up now to our time.
00:21:41The greatest transition of our time is the transition from institutional Christianity to the kingdom mentality, the mindset of kingdom, to leave this realm of, you know, institutionalized religion or organized religion.
00:22:06This is a challenge, okay, for the believers of our age is to go from this institutional Christianity to the kingdom of God mentality, the kingdom mindset, all right?
00:22:23Let me read Jude chapter one.
00:22:26It's only one chapter in the book of Jude and verse three.
00:22:29It simply says, beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
00:22:54You must, what's he saying?
00:22:56Again, we must earnestly contend for the original faith, the original word that was given.
00:23:05It was once.
00:23:06So, that once simply means that was first given, the original realm of what was given.
00:23:13So, this teaching, what you're receiving now is really by divine revelation, okay?
00:23:20It's not from any kind of seminary because they don't teach this in seminaries.
00:23:26I've been there.
00:23:27I know.
00:23:28Nor is it taught even in Bible colleges where people are supposedly being equipped, okay, for the preaching of the gospel.
00:23:39Yet, there is no real dealing with this term Christianity, this term that God never gave, even though Paul was under Roman rule.
00:23:52And this was the dominerary thing at that time, he still, as you will see through his teachings and his writings, he contended for the faith.
00:24:04Most of his contending that we read, he was not really preaching those things.
00:24:11He was contending.
00:24:12He was trying to let them know the bottom line is kingdom.
00:24:15Yes, he explained the death, burial, resurrection.
00:24:18You see all those things, but that wasn't what he was preaching.
00:24:22That's what he was teaching to those who did not understand the true faith.
00:24:27He continued, as you'll see, to teach the kingdom, which was originally what was first given to them, all right?
00:24:36And so, kingdom, and I quote Dr. Francis Miles, mighty man of God, awesome teacher.
00:24:45I quote, he says, kingdom is the white elephant in the Bible, that it's rarely mentioned because of the frigidness of this church Christianity thing.
00:25:01And so, you've got this white elephant called the kingdom where folk are not sure what it means.
00:25:07They'll mention it and throw it in from time to time, but to really fully understand what are we talking about?
00:25:14What is this really all about?
00:25:16See, that's a whole different, it's the white elephant.
00:25:20You rarely hear it taught.
00:25:22There are only few.
00:25:24Again, I credit and exalt and thank God for Dr. Miles Monroe.
00:25:30To me, one of the most awesome teachers of kingdom that you'll ever hear.
00:25:35I remember getting everything that he ever spoke or taught on kingdom so I could learn.
00:25:42I wanted to contend for the original faith that was given, all right?
00:25:47And so, he says, this kingdom thing, it's the white elephant.
00:25:50The church doesn't know how really to deal with it, okay?
00:25:53And watch this.
00:25:54This is not to condemn Christianity.
00:25:56That's not what this is about.
00:25:58But it's rather to transcend, okay?
00:26:00To transcend it, transcend its historical limitations, because you'll see all the limitations as we walk through this.
00:26:09And how it's reducing, religion reduces the influence of dominion.
00:26:16This is why we're not seeing the same results that the disciples saw.
00:26:22You know, we should be able to at least say, okay, this is what happened in the Bible, and then look at now and say, is this what's happening?
00:26:31Now, this is very simple.
00:26:33We need to be realistic and see what is going on.
00:26:37We have to be like Jude and earnestly contend, okay, for the faith, for what was originally given unto us.
00:26:47We have to rediscover the original faith once delivered to the saints.
00:26:55That's what Jude was saying.
00:26:56Why is the power of faith, okay, the Bible, patriots, you know, they have the demonstration and power, okay?
00:27:07And they were demonstrating it throughout the scriptures, okay?
00:27:11What's happening with us that we're not fully seeing the manifestation?
00:27:19Because you can't take truth and make it a half-truth.
00:27:25It will never work.
00:27:26Something has been lost, people of God, in the translation.
00:27:30We are seeing today what they had, okay, the 12, what they did, 12 of them, okay, transformed millions.
00:27:45And we can't even seem to transform our own families.
00:27:50It's, you know, something, it's, yeah, it's the white elephant that no one wants to talk about.
00:27:55Why aren't we seeing the manifestations?
00:27:57It is, I told you, the church has turned into a major performance.
00:28:03It's like all of these things are replacing.
00:28:07We're doing things to replace the power because we don't have the manifestation of it.
00:28:15And so we start, you know, overcompensating with other things.
00:28:19And this is not the original, okay?
00:28:23Something has been lost, and we're going to deal with that, okay?
00:28:26You know, let me tell you something.
00:28:28A satanic infiltration is very real.
00:28:33And yes, we must deal with that.
00:28:35The devil knew he could not stop the church, so he joined it, okay?
00:28:42How?
00:28:43By corrupting the theology from within.
00:28:46Whereas the truth of what was given is not being preached or manifest.
00:28:55In fact, like I said, even when I began teaching spiritual warfare, it wasn't the unbelievers that mocked and teased and make fun.
00:29:04It was the believers, okay?
00:29:06And that went on for quite some time.
00:29:09You have to remember the exercise of how to see the downgrade of information.
00:29:20Do you remember in school, I know the teachers would do this little exercise with us.
00:29:27Some of you might remember this, where she would speak something in the first person's ear, and there'd be like a whole line, maybe 10 other people.
00:29:37And she'd tell them, okay, pass this down and keep passing it down.
00:29:43And some of you remember that.
00:29:44And by the time it got to the last person in the line, the whole message was totally different.
00:29:51It wasn't anything what she had originally said to that first person.
00:29:57So some of you remember that little exercise and how the downgrade of information would take place.
00:30:03And this is what the enemy has done.
00:30:06He's corrupting the theology from within, okay?
00:30:10And this is so important.
00:30:12It's the breakdown of the original information over time, a downgrade of information.
00:30:20See, we got to rediscover the faith originally delivered onto us.
00:30:24We got to earnestly contend for the faith.
00:30:27And that's what we're doing right now.
00:30:29We're going to take a good, hard look at what's going on.
00:30:32We're going to look at this name and what does it mean and see what Jesus interrupted everything to find out what they had,
00:30:40what was their true thought, okay?
00:30:44God is not a religious being.
00:30:47I can't emphasize that enough.
00:30:49He has nothing to do with religion.
00:30:53God is not ruling a religious institution.
00:30:57He is ruler of a government, of a kingdom.
00:31:01From what I understand it, heaven is a series of real planets that will need the governing of God's citizens and his kingdom citizens, okay?
00:31:15And so it's very real when you take it out of this religiosity mindset and start realizing you have to, you know, learn some things in this earthly realm while you're here because of what is to come, what is before you, what you are going to is far greater.
00:31:36All right, so archaeologists, they can actually change civilizations from my many trips to the Holy Land and going there and seeing the actual what they call digs where they're actually digging.
00:31:52They go, archaeology is always digging down.
00:31:55You have to go down.
00:31:56In other words, to get to the original, you're digging down to really find and rediscover what really would resonate for now for the current time, all right?
00:32:08And so they actually go in to look for what some would say maybe never existed or what this wasn't was.
00:32:18This was a people.
00:32:19This was not a people, so on and so forth.
00:32:21Was this really true what was written in the Bible?
00:32:24Did this really exist?
00:32:26You know, for the longest, they said that they didn't believe that a thing called the Jericho wall existed and that it actually happened.
00:32:34Well, the archaeologists, of course, went in, dug all the way down and found how it actually had to have fallen exactly the way the scripture said because it was layered and it went down layer by layer.
00:32:49And that's how they found this Jericho wall.
00:32:52And so that changed the whole mindset of those who would say, well, we don't believe it even existed.
00:32:58When it was found, the archaeologists, what did it do?
00:33:01It changed the whole mindset, okay?
00:33:04And so rediscovering ancient foundations that have been lost to the current day is simply what we're doing right now.
00:33:12In the book of Nehemiah, when they were rebuilding the wall and restoring the temple, that's a wonderful story to read as well because it's a truth, all right, that it had been, the temple had been in ruins.
00:33:28And in the midst of it, while they were rebuilding and restoring it, they found the book of the law, the law of Moses.
00:33:38Let me read Nehemiah for you, Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 3.
00:33:44Nehemiah chapter 8 and verse 3.
00:33:47And Ezra read therein before the street that was before the water gate for from the morning.
00:33:58So he's reading, they found this and they're saying, wow, we need to read this.
00:34:02So from morning until midday, before the men and the women and those that could understand and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
00:34:14Because why?
00:34:15They were learning what they had missed.
00:34:17They were rediscovering what really was the way things were supposed to be for them.
00:34:23This is what we must do.
00:34:25We must earnestly contend until, I don't care, if it's just a few of us that began to operate in the manifestations and demonstration of the word of God, it can affect millions.
00:34:41And that's what God wants.
00:34:43So you are in powerful company to understand this revelation and to contend for it that we may manifest the kingdom of God in earth, glory to God, as it is in heaven.
00:34:58So then Christianity, the idea, again, is not to condemn Christianity, but it is to transcend Christianity.
00:35:08I've said it many times, to transcend from the church to kingdom.
00:35:12There has to be a process of growth, of advancement, of acceleration.
00:35:19It must be, okay?
00:35:22God is a God that's always moving, always growing, always manifesting the greater.
00:35:27We shall not be content to be stuck in a thing called religion and tradition.
00:35:35It misrepresents the kingdom.
00:35:37It is not a representation of the kingdom of God.
00:35:40Kingdom is the original faith once delivered to the saints.
00:35:46The difference is in the results that we see, the Bible patriots, and today's Christianity is very real.
00:35:54We see the difference.
00:35:55We don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed.
00:35:58It's wonderful to say, guess what?
00:35:59We are not manifesting what we see in this Bible.
00:36:03And that is the mindset of kingdom, because kingdom says, if this is what it says, then this is what we're going to do.
00:36:11See, something has been lost in translation.
00:36:14They turn, listen, the disciples turned the world upside down.
00:36:19There was a scripture, a chapter where it says, these men have caused havoc and turned the entire city upside down.
00:36:29OK, we can't even turn our families around.
00:36:33OK, and here it is there because they were understanding the original, what it was.
00:36:39They were not willing to compromise.
00:36:41They were not willing to settle, say, oh, well, that was Jesus, because that's what most say.
00:36:46Now, that was disciples as though, you know, what they had, you know, the Holy Spirit was not the same and things of that sort.
00:36:54And that is just, again, the evil infiltration of the devil to continue this downgrade of the gospel of the kingdom of God.
00:37:04Remember, Jesus said this gospel of the kingdom.
00:37:09He literally defined what the gospel was.
00:37:12Many are calling the gospel a whole lot of things because they don't know how to deal with this thing called kingdom.
00:37:21So the devil knew he could not stop it.
00:37:24So he joined it and corrupted the theology of the church.
00:37:28Remember, again, the downgrade that is taking place even now, even now.
00:37:38Someone is going to have to stand up.
00:37:40That's why I say I remember I could see different ones would cringe when I would say I am not a Christian.
00:37:46OK, and I'll get to that. I don't want to get ahead of myself.
00:37:49But you know what? Maybe the body of Christ doesn't see it now.
00:37:53But I promise you there's a time coming when they'll find the eyes will open, but you'll be way ahead of it.
00:38:00You'll be way ahead of it as you, again, honestly contend, as it said in in the book of Jude.
00:38:09OK. And so then, again, like archaeologists, we got to dig.
00:38:14We got to we got to dig deeper until we rediscover the original foundations that have been lost in this current day so that we can show them this is what it's supposed to be.
00:38:27You are not a religion. You know, Christianity is listed with all of today's religions.
00:38:33Don't you know that on the end times that is going to be a major problem because the enemy is going to, you know, pit one against the other and it's going to be a religious.
00:38:44They have the nerve to call it a holy war. It has nothing to do with holiness.
00:38:48It is religious devils that are finally going to start coming out and showing their colors.
00:38:54And thank God you will have to understand that you are not even a part of any of that because you are coming into what is truth.
00:39:04Why is there such a great divide in Christianity if that's the way?
00:39:10Why are there so many different denominations, these subcultures again?
00:39:15And it's continuing to buy. You'd be surprised of some of the things that is done under the name of Christianity.
00:39:26Have you forgotten the Ku Klux Klan, the KKK, who actually uses a cross to burn in so-called under the name of Christianity?
00:39:37Have you not seen the works of Christianity? Have you not seen the works of the satanic realm infiltrating and dominating this thing that man has came up with?
00:39:48Because God never called you Christian. None of the disciples did.
00:39:52We've got to get to the original and not be ashamed of it.
00:39:58Who do you say? Glory to God.
00:40:02This great divide, this institutional Christianity, it's become the greatest obstacle of the advancement and spreading of the gospel of the kingdom of God.
00:40:15How? Because it's creating a lot of subcultures that this is we do it this way.
00:40:39This is how it's supposed to be done. And if you don't do this, you're not saved.
00:40:43You know, there are organizations who have become the judge and jury.
00:40:48They have decided who's not going to heaven and who's going to hell.
00:40:52I'm like, look at this demon who is really and got all these subcultures running, doing the same thing.
00:41:02What this one does, then the other ones jump on board and everybody is this herd mentality just running.
00:41:07And I told you the one herd in the Bible, they go off a clip never to be heard of again.
00:41:13We have got to really contend earnestly.
00:41:16Who do you say?
00:41:18Okay, because this is the truth.
00:41:21Christianity prevents many kingdom citizens from coming together.
00:41:28Okay, the denominations divide.
00:41:30They divide.
00:41:32Denomination, that very word means division.
00:41:37Denominations divide.
00:41:39Okay.
00:41:40Citizenship represents one nation.
00:41:44Glory to God.
00:41:47One nation.
00:41:49We must not see one another through denominational lenses, but through our citizenship.
00:41:58And until they get the revelation of kingdom, it'll always be my denomination or this particular group, or we're Baptists, we're Methodists, we're all of these subcultures.
00:42:10And each one has their own opinion.
00:42:13No wonder it got to the point of who do you say?
00:42:17And we're going to get to that.
00:42:18Let's keep moving.
00:42:19I hope you're tracking with me.
00:42:21This is one of the most important things I can teach you, especially if you're going to understand the realm of kingdom.
00:42:27Okay, then this is a very, very important teaching.
00:42:33Matthew 12 and 24 through 28.
00:42:36Matthew chapter 12.
00:42:37And I want you to make sure you highlight this and write it down because this really begins to unpack where we're going.
00:42:44He says,
00:43:14Satan cast out Satan.
00:43:16He's divided against himself.
00:43:18Look at how the churches come against each other.
00:43:21You want to see a war come quick?
00:43:23You know, all it takes is for one minister, one pastor, and they all dive in on them.
00:43:29They don't pray.
00:43:30Scripture says you're supposed to pray one for another that your brother be restored.
00:43:33And so they don't fall.
00:43:34Man, they dive in.
00:43:35They're the quickest turncoats you'll ever want to save.
00:43:38But let me stop.
00:43:39I want to stay on point.
00:43:40He says, and, you know, the devil, he's against himself if he does that.
00:43:45How shall then his kingdom stand if the devil is casting out the devil?
00:43:51And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?
00:43:57OK, therefore, they shall be judges.
00:44:02But if I cast out devils by the spirit of God, he introduces the whole realm of the kingdom of the foundation.
00:44:11Then the kingdom of God has come unto you.
00:44:16So now the realm of casting out devils is one of the main reasons that you understand kingdom has come.
00:44:24So then why are so many, quote unquote, churches and believers against spiritual warfare?
00:44:30They all, you know, you don't talk about the devil.
00:44:32We don't give it.
00:44:33I came up against that.
00:44:36I can't even tell you how many times.
00:44:38You know, different ones, they wanted me to come and preach, but they didn't want me to talk.
00:44:43I don't want you to talk about that spiritual warfare, that devil stuff.
00:44:47OK.
00:44:47I'm like, then what do you want me to come for?
00:44:50And you would be surprised.
00:44:52Their answers were just amazing.
00:44:54These were the leadership.
00:44:57That's why I call leaders, because they're not rulers, because anybody can lead, but only a ruler can rule.
00:45:03So then Jesus, he's in this major conversation with them in terms of kingdoms and the division thereof.
00:45:12And I'm saying, take a look at this and see if you don't see the same thing happening throughout the world.
00:45:19This world of Christianity, Christian dome has so divided.
00:45:24And there you see them falling and one after the other, and they don't pray for you.
00:45:31Go on YouTube and see how many are judging one another.
00:45:35And this one's these are, you know, they're they're false teachers and false.
00:45:40And I said, if it was, would that be the thing to do to get on there and broadcast it?
00:45:46Or would you be to fulfill the scripture and begin to pray that the eyes of their understanding?
00:45:50I mean, this is a mess, and the devil is having a field day.
00:45:55Someone has to speak out against this.
00:45:58Religion thrives on the spirit of division.
00:46:02You want to write that down.
00:46:03Make a note of that.
00:46:04Religion thrives on the spirit of division.
00:46:09Okay?
00:46:10Those Pharisees would always approach Jesus from a spirit of religion.
00:46:16Jesus would never respond from the spirit of religion, but from the context of kingdom.
00:46:23All of his teachings would really begin with the kingdom is likened onto this.
00:46:30The kingdom is such as this.
00:46:32He was always trying to show them it is not about a religion because religion prompts you to judge people.
00:46:40It prompts you to categorize, to grade them.
00:46:46And God, that's the whole reason why Jesus came, because the religious folks had set people in categories.
00:46:54They would rather a person stay ill.
00:46:59They fussed with him about healing the man in the synagogue, the woman 38 years in the synagogue.
00:47:05So they would rather her be sick and continue for 38 years than for Jesus to come and heal her.
00:47:12Look at the spirit of religion.
00:47:14Well, that's the Sabbath day.
00:47:16Well, when it wasn't the Sabbath day, why didn't you heal her?
00:47:19You see, religion can never produce truth.
00:47:24Glory to God.
00:47:26And so we see then that Jesus did not come to earth to restore a religion.
00:47:31That's not what he came for, but to restore his government, the kingdom of God.
00:47:37They were caught up in a religious language.
00:47:42Look at the church now, all this religious language, you know, quoting scriptures that they've never lived themselves.
00:47:49So Jesus spoke of government language, of kingdom, of the liberty and power and demonstration.
00:47:57Okay, so what?
00:47:59Casting out devils was not a religion.
00:48:01That's not a religion.
00:48:04Okay, but it was Jesus saying, this is the return of the government of the kingdom of God.
00:48:13If I cast out devils, see what he's saying?
00:48:16Then I'm showing you that the government of God has come to take what is unlawful and lawless and bringing people into bondage.
00:48:31And now your authority is to cast them out so people can be free, so people can walk in their power and authority.
00:48:39So they don't have to depend and wait for somebody to come lay hands on them.
00:48:43They can understand they have the government ruling of God, the Holy Spirit in them, and they can do it themselves.
00:48:51And see, that was one of the problems of the Pharisees, because if the people ever got enough power and authority to govern and rule and deal with themselves, then that government would lose control over them.
00:49:04They could no longer control them.
00:49:06And this is what religion does.
00:49:08It wants people to be under its demise and control so that they can never do anything except under the demise and control of religious devils.
00:49:19And this is what is coming to an end.
00:49:21This is why for all these years we've been teaching people that you have the power and the authority.
00:49:27You can cast out devils.
00:49:29You can lay hands on the sick.
00:49:30You know, for years religion said only certain ones can do that.
00:49:34You need a title.
00:49:35You have to go through cemetery at seminary.
00:49:38You have to be this and you have to be that.
00:49:41Nowhere is that in the Bible.
00:49:43It's not there.
00:49:45It's only what Jesus said concerning his kingdom.
00:49:49But see, some preachers and some leaders are so insecure.
00:49:54They need people to need them because that's what they thrive on.
00:49:59They don't even realize they need deliverance so they can get free from the bondage of dominating and being insecure.
00:50:07And the only way they can function is they got to be over somebody.
00:50:11They got to be controlling people.
00:50:13They need people to need them.
00:50:14And God wants people to be able to need him.
00:50:18Glory to God.
00:50:19So then casting out devils.
00:50:22This is not a religion.
00:50:24It's your authority.
00:50:25It's the power that Jesus gave you, okay?
00:50:28And it's the return of his kingdom.
00:50:30Any kingdom divided is a separate subculture, okay?
00:50:36And it's absent of power.
00:50:38Religion has no power.
00:50:41The kingdom of God is a sovereign government and a country.
00:50:45It's not divided as we see religion and denominations today, okay?
00:50:52Luke 11 and 17, and I'm moving quickly now because we got so much to cover.
00:50:57I pray that you will stay with this lesson.
00:50:59You will get so free.
00:51:00You will see the power and authority return.
00:51:03You'll begin to see that you do have power.
00:51:05You can lay hands.
00:51:07You'll see the authority of the kingdom.
00:51:09But you got to get free.
00:51:10This is reformation, and you have to be free so that you can fully manifest the kingdom of God.
00:51:17Luke 11, 17 says,
00:51:18But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said unto them,
00:51:21Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.
00:51:26And a house divided against a house falls.
00:51:30It cannot stand.
00:51:31And you see that one after the other.
00:51:33You know, I was seeing an article on mega churches that are folding now, bankrupt, closing, mega ministers, leaders, okay?
00:51:46They're being demoted.
00:51:48And it's happening all because Christianity is never what God ordained.
00:51:55It was not.
00:51:56God never called you a Christian.
00:51:59Glory to God.
00:52:01Let me look at the word divided real quick.
00:52:03But the word divided, and you would see that also in your strong concordance, it's 1266 for those who might want to look it up for themselves.
00:52:13Just the number 1266.
00:52:15And you're going to see diamarizo.
00:52:17Diamarizo is divided in the Greek.
00:52:21It says to partition, okay?
00:52:24It's to thoroughly separate in dissension.
00:52:30Dissension, that is huge.
00:52:31Dissension, because when you divide something, it becomes less than what it was.
00:52:35Dissension, it means to divide, to part.
00:52:38To disunion.
00:52:40Look at that, okay?
00:52:42It goes on to say, to disunion of opinion and conduct, okay?
00:52:48Because division comes from people.
00:52:50It didn't come from God.
00:52:51It's called a fragmented culture.
00:52:55Wow.
00:52:57Christianity is a fragmented culture.
00:53:00This, I have so much that I could share because I, you know, again, attending pastoral seminars and things of that throughout all these years that I've been doing this.
00:53:10And seeing how different ones actually got up and taught that this is how you have to preach.
00:53:17And, you know, you got the organ with the music and then you get this doing.
00:53:22And it was actually, he was actually saying this is, I said, wow, he doesn't even realize, no, that's how you preach.
00:53:29That's your, okay, subdivided culture.
00:53:34And, but this, but they actually believe this.
00:53:38They don't see or discern the infiltration of the enemy.
00:53:44As I said before, he knows he cannot stop the church.
00:53:48So he joined it.
00:53:50And boy, is he doing a mess.
00:53:53Kingdom culture is the main culture, okay?
00:53:57But all the division, that's not a kingdom.
00:54:02Kingdom, it's religion.
00:54:06And religion is in division.
00:54:09It's dividing.
00:54:11The devil is using the division to minimize the power and the impact.
00:54:18He knows, you know, you think the devil wants people to learn of the power that works in them through kingdom?
00:54:27You think he wants them to learn so that they will understand how to cast him out, how to get their children delivered, their families delivered, their friends delivered?
00:54:40Do you think he wants them to actually learn this?
00:54:44Of course not.
00:54:45This is why he is so infiltrating and keeping this dividing and this division and this Christianity thing going.
00:54:52Because once people get the truth, okay?
00:54:55The scripture says, you shall know the truth.
00:54:59And the truth, the knowledge of that truth is what makes you free.
00:55:04And now you can begin to function in the fullness that Jesus died for.
00:55:10This is one reason why you have to start seeing why this whole Christianity thing.
00:55:16Because people are not functioning under what is not ordained of God.
00:55:25Glory to God.
00:55:28Yes.
00:55:29Just this partial function.
00:55:32He lets it be just enough so people will keep going into it.
00:55:37You see, because, again, I say it, all religions thrive on the spirit of division.
00:55:45Okay?
00:55:45You need to come over here because they're not this and they're not.
00:55:49Why are you going over there?
00:55:51All of that is nothing but the adversary.
00:55:55You know, this division of Catholic.
00:55:59Look at the Catholic.
00:56:01Look at the whole realm of Catholic.
00:56:03Look at how many subdivision, subcultures are in the Catholic faith.
00:56:09And then look at the Baptists.
00:56:11How many subcultures?
00:56:13Okay?
00:56:14The Ego, A-M-E, Methodists, this kind.
00:56:17All subcultures.
00:56:19Then get into the Evangelical.
00:56:22That's multi.
00:56:23Okay?
00:56:24All division.
00:56:25All divided.
00:56:26None of them are on one accord.
00:56:28And then the Apostolic or the Pentecostal or the Holiness.
00:56:32All of them have these breakdowns, which is what the enemy knows, that if we can keep this all, we minimize.
00:56:40He's minimizing the power and the authority of what God has gotten.
00:56:45Listen, my time has really run out.
00:56:47But listen, Wednesday night, we are going to pick up in this.
00:56:50I'm going to take you into something so powerful that you will be so glad that you, you know, stayed with this teaching because it's liberating.
00:56:59God wants you to see there's healing in your hands.
00:57:02There's power and authority working in you.
00:57:05You don't have to wait for someone to come lay hands on you.
00:57:09You don't have to wait.
00:57:10God never ordained it to be that way.
00:57:13You shall receive power after that.
00:57:16The Holy Ghost has come.
00:57:18Not after you get a title or after someone comes in it.
00:57:22No.
00:57:23The word of God, the kingdom of God, it is arrived.
00:57:27He said it's at hand.
00:57:28At hand means it has arrived.
00:57:31Thy kingdom come.
00:57:33Thy will be done.
00:57:35Where in me, glory to God, and earth as it is in heaven.
00:57:40So when we come back, we dip deeper and deeper.
00:57:43I assure you, the revelation is something that will open your eyes.
00:57:48Immediately, you'll see the release of power coming upon your life.
00:57:52Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the word of God is right.
00:57:58And we want the pure and unadulterated word of God.
00:58:02We don't want any of the devil's subcultures and division.
00:58:06We rebuke the spirit of religion.
00:58:08We loose ourselves from any and everything that is not of you.
00:58:14We command, bound every evil operation that's coming against us.
00:58:18And we thank you, Holy Spirit of living God, that even ministering spirits will go forth
00:58:23and fight for us in Jesus' mighty name.
00:58:27We thank you for it.
00:58:28We call it done.
00:58:29And it is so.
00:58:30Don't miss Wednesday night.
00:58:32We come back even more powerful.
00:58:34I am excited.
00:58:35I can't wait to share this revelation with you.
00:58:37It's going to bless you.
00:58:39And you have a full understanding of the kingdom of God.
00:58:43In Jesus' name, God bless you.
00:58:44We'll see you then.
