00:07:40study. It's going to be such a blessing to those who are really starting to zero in on the kingdom,
00:07:47the message of the kingdom that Jesus preached because that's what he preached. All right. Yes,
00:07:51we do have a gone but not forgotten, our very own Apostle Mario Johnson. We do miss him, but we
00:07:56glorify
00:07:57the Lord and his home going and all that God done with him through the word of God as he
00:08:05was here
00:08:05with us. We always say, you know, we thank God for the time we did have and we believe that
00:08:10we will all
00:08:11be together again. But we do say gone but not forgotten. We will always remember Apostle Mario
00:08:20in Jesus name. All right. Three things. Would you do that for me right now? If you would hit that
00:08:26little like, the thumbs up, do that for us right now. That will bless us. And of course, need you

00:08:37And of course, share. A huge thank you because so many of you are doing just that. You have been
00:08:43sharing
00:08:44and people are just getting the word of God and I so thank you for doing that. We ask that
00:08:49you would
00:08:49just continue as media missionaries. We get it done. Amen. Blessings unto each and every one of
00:08:55you. Again, I'm very grateful. Amen. For just the faithful, those who are so faithful in their support
00:09:01and in their commitment. It's unto the Lord. It's unto the Lord first. Seek ye first. And so we thank
00:09:08God for each and every one of you. And we are very grateful for your faithfulness and just for your
00:09:14very presence. We appreciate it in Jesus name. All right. We're going to dig into the word of God
00:09:22and we are going to see just where the word's going to take us as we go into this masterclass,
00:09:30Kingdom Citizens Rights. I can't think of a more important subject right now as we've been teaching
00:09:36the realm of the kingdom. How important it is for the citizens to know their rights. Just like in
00:09:42any country, you need to know your rights. And that's what we're going to cover tonight. I believe
00:09:48it's going to really open the eyes of your understanding in such a way that everything
00:09:53begins to change for you. So Spirit of the living God, we're so grateful for this opportunity. Thank
00:09:58you for your word. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway. And we
00:10:05bless you as
00:10:06we study. Let our understanding, oh God, be filled with your word as we step into this realm of kingdom
00:10:15as citizens. We thank you in advance. We call it done and it is so in Jesus name. All right.
00:10:22Kingdom
00:10:22Citizens Rights. What an important study and how important it is for you to understand and know what
00:10:29the rights are. Yes, this is the realm of kingdom and it's understanding your rights, your citizens'
00:10:37rights. First of all, it begins with the blood of Jesus. May as well start there, especially as we
00:10:45have entered into this spring feast, the Passover season, Resurrection Sunday. And now as we are counting
00:10:52down the Feast of Weeks, we're going into the realm of Pentecost, we're in that 50-day counting right now
00:10:59as we are approaching the Feast of Pentecost. And it's all about the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus
00:11:07is your access. Remember that. It's your legal right to all the benefits of heaven here in earth.
00:11:16You have access to heaven's resources. And these are so important because it's got to change
00:11:25your mindset. Again, we are working to really drive out the religious mindset to no longer think or see
00:11:35through the lens of religion, but through the lens of kingdom and understanding the word of God for what
00:11:43it is and what it is and what it says and understanding it as he said it, that we believe
00:11:49on him as the scripture says. So again, you have access to heaven's resources. Now, the redemptive work
00:11:57of Jesus has secured for you an abundant life. That's why he said, that's why I came so you would
00:12:05have life
00:12:06and have it more abundantly. And so again, we're really seeking to put you in a frame of mind so
00:12:15that a lot of things that you're dealing with, you're going to absolutely start to see it diminishing
00:12:21because that's what kingdom is all about. And again, the more we preach it, the more you're going
00:12:26to get it. And the more you get it, the more you're going to see results. And that's what we're
00:12:30all about
00:12:31is results. So now, all right. So then abundant life, also forgiveness, forgiveness of your sins
00:12:39releases you from the judgment of God. That's what the blood of Jesus did. It paid for, uh, so that
00:12:45the
00:12:46wrath of God would no longer be on you. It took care of your sins are forgiven. Uh, that's why
00:12:52it says,
00:12:52if you sin, look, we have an advocate. You just simply, and then see the devil hates that because he
00:12:58wants
00:12:58you to be bugged down with guilt and condemnation every time you make a mistake or do something
00:13:04wrong. And the scripture simply says, you just need to repent, turn from it and God will forgive you.
00:13:09He is, he's, you know, abundantly forgives. He, he wants you to know that that's what he paid for.
00:13:16And so you have been reconciled back to God for a genuine, a real relationship, not a religion.
00:13:26Again, it has nothing. You're going to hear me say that often because I am going after this demonic
00:13:31realm called religion. Uh, I was listening to Dr. Miles Monroe, who to me, I just don't know anyone
00:13:38that teaches kingdom better than he does. And he simply identified the spirit of religion as a demonic
00:13:45realm, as a, uh, one that cast a spell because you could almost look at the body of Christ and
00:13:51see
00:13:51that it's under some kind of spell of where they can't seem to snap out of this religious
00:13:58Christianity mindset. And so we are definitely going to continue. Uh, the word of God is going
00:14:07to drive it out and cause you to be free and reconcile fully, uh, to what is already yours.
00:14:14It belongs to you. And this is again, the word of God, that's going to help you to absolutely
00:14:20walk in what Jesus has done for us. So then what the sonship has been restored
00:14:28back to us as his children. And that's what you want to see yourself, not a Christian.
00:14:35You're his children. You're a child of the King. You had to be born again. So you could be born
00:14:42into royalty because you don't just become Royal because you want to be, you have to be born into
00:14:49it. And so as being born again, that, uh, absolutely brings you into the Royal family of God Almighty.
00:14:57Your sonship has been restored thanks to the blood of Jesus. Okay. And, and it's, it's back to us as,
00:15:04and now we, we need to understand that's what we are. We are his children. Uh, one scripture will go
00:15:10to Hebrews. Actually, no, we'll go to Acts 17, uh, and, and, and see that the scripture makes it very
00:15:17direct and very intimate, uh, even as his, his offspring. Acts 17 and 29 says, for as much then
00:15:26as we are the offspring of God, are you listening to that? We are the offspring of God. We ought
00:15:33not to
00:15:34think goes right to the way we think. See, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like onto
00:15:40gold
00:15:40or silver or idol worship. That's what that was all about, or stones, these carving or graven images,
00:15:47uh, by art and man's devices. That's all religious stuff. That's spirit of religion. You're offspring.
00:15:56You're the real deal. Praise God. And God wants you to think according to what the word of God says
00:16:03and not what, uh, this false realm of religion has done to God's people. First Peter chapter three,
00:16:11and let's look at verse 18. I'm reading the amplified version. And for those of you can follow along,
00:16:17it's wonderful for you to read and see it for yourself. First Peter says for Christ, the Messiah
00:16:25himself, Yeshua Mashiach died for sins once and for all the righteous for the unrighteous, meaning he
00:16:37was righteous. He took on unrighteousness so we could be the righteousness. And it says just for the unjust
00:16:46in other words, whatever we were, he took it on so that we could become what he was. And it
00:16:53goes on to
00:16:53say the innocent. Okay. For the, for the guilty. In other words, he was innocent and he took on our
00:17:00guilt
00:17:00that he might bring us to God. There's no more in between. There's no mediation between us. He brought
00:17:11us directly to God in his human body. He was put to death, but he was made alive in the
00:17:20spirit. That's
00:17:21the amplified version and first Peter. And it really takes you into the detail of understanding
00:17:27because when you start seeing who you really are and what he did concerning you, it makes you think,
00:17:35it makes me think very differently, uh, from the religious mindset. First John two and one,
00:17:42we've got a lot of scriptures to cover. So I, because I want you to see it for yourself. Uh,
00:17:47it's one thing to hear it and someone else say it, but when you know it for yourself, it makes
00:17:52a huge
00:17:53difference. First John two and one says, my little children that we ask because we are his children.
00:17:58These things, right? I onto you that you sin not. Okay. We just said that. Okay. And if anyone sins,
00:18:11we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ, the righteousness, the righteous one. So you see,
00:18:21this is the part that the enemy hates because we can repent. We can turn from, I think one of
00:18:28the
00:18:28most powerful tools that we have is the power to change our mind. You understand the spiritual
00:18:34entities. They do not have the power. How they are is what they are and they cannot change. We have
00:18:41the power to change how we, you know, think if we feel like we made a mistake, we can, that's
00:18:48what
00:18:48repentance is a wonderful thing. We must never think negative of the term repentance. All right.
00:18:56The NLT, I want to read the new living translation of that same first John two and one. He says,
00:19:02my dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin,
00:19:10we have an advocate who pleads our case before the father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly
00:19:22righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins and not only our sins, but the sins of
00:19:31all the world. So even the world could really be saved if they would simply repent because he's
00:19:38already done it. It's already been done. It's just a matter of accepting and receiving what he has done
00:19:44on our behalf. Look at Hebrews chapter two and verse 17. Again, we want to make sure that our
00:19:51foundation is solid so that you'll understand fully your rights when we get into that area and show you
00:19:58how to decree and declare a thing and it must come to pass, but you got to first know your
00:20:04rights.
00:20:04All right. Hebrews 2 and 17, the NIV says, for this reason, he had to be made like them, fully
00:20:14human in
00:20:15every way, in order that he might become merciful and faithful, a merciful and faithful high priest
00:20:27in service to God. So see, that's why I said sin is really not the issue. Jesus knew he was
00:20:42going to
00:20:42take care of this issue called sin. That's what he came for. And for us to make a big deal
00:20:50out of
00:20:50something that's already been taken care of, we're missing. I think we're missing the point.
00:20:56Take a look at second Corinthians. You say we've got a lot of scripture. Yeah. I want you to write
00:21:00them down. And when you get some time, you can go over them for yourself. Second Corinthians five and
00:21:0520. He says, we are therefore Christ's ambassadors. There it is. There it is. As though God were making
00:21:14his appeal through us, we employ you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. God made him who had
00:21:26no sin to be sin for us so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God. So already
00:21:36now you're
00:21:37starting to see really who you are and that you should never allow the enemy to hover over you with
00:21:46guilt and condemnation because that was taken care of. And if you are feeling bad and guilt, that's the
00:21:54enemy and you need to really rebuke and cast him, do what you need to do so that you can
00:22:02be utterly free
00:22:03and understand what it is to walk in your rights. And so the death of Jesus fulfilled the judgment of
00:22:12God for the sins of the world, as well as each and every one of us paid in full. The
00:22:21kingdom of God
00:22:23is restored back into the earth because of the precious blood of Jesus. That's why the devil hates the
00:22:32blood. The blood of Jesus is alive and speaking in the earth, in earth as it is in heaven, returning
00:22:44the common wealth of heaven back into the earth. Understand this is so important. You've got to start
00:22:54thinking differently. You've got to start reading the word of God and asking the Holy Spirit to magnify the
00:23:01word. That's a part of my daily prayer is spirit of the living God. Let your living word, because the
00:23:09word is alive. Jesus said, my word is spirit and he's making it very clear. The word is alive. Word
00:23:16of God,
00:23:16be magnified and let God begin to work in you what he has already planned so that you can align.
00:23:25We just
00:23:25came out of the study of what it is to align yourself with the kingdom, align yourself with it so
00:23:31that you
00:23:31can walk in and it's not just a lot of talk. A lot of what we've been dealing with, it's
00:23:39about to be
00:23:40diminished because we're going to continue to hammer in this word of God who says, is not my word like
00:23:46a
00:23:46hammer? Yes. And that word is going to bring about the kind of change that God has brought you for
00:23:53in the first place. All right. Romans chapter eight and verse 32 says it like this. He who did not
00:24:02spare
00:24:02his own son, but gave him up for us all. How will he not also along with him graciously give
00:24:15us
00:24:16all things, not some things, not most things, but all things. And a lot of times when I'm ministering
00:24:25or counseling and someone tells me what they cannot do, I don't let them stay there because that's not
00:24:32true. You have everything it takes for whatever comes in your life. Our access to the resources of
00:24:41heaven is what I want to emphasize as we walk you through the kingdom citizens, right? This is
00:24:47masterclass. In other words, it has been restored. We have been repositioned as citizens of his great
00:24:57kingdom. We are reconnecting heaven to earth. We can, he has made it so this could be possible that
00:25:09reconnection. In other words, in the garden, when Adam sinned, not only was the dominion, but the very
00:25:15spirit of God, all of these things lifted from the earthly realm and everything became so difficult
00:25:22as it is, but we don't realize that Jesus, that's what he came to do to restore all that as
00:25:32he had planned
00:25:33in his original intent. Second Corinthians chapter 8 and verse 9 says this. For you know the grace of
00:25:45our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through
00:25:59his
00:26:00poverty might become rich. This is so important. We have to start thinking according to the word of
00:26:09God, not according even to your circumstances or your experiences. That's when the word has to be
00:26:16magnified. It has to become bigger than your thinking, bigger than your situation. And when you say,
00:26:24you know, be magnified in me, that is exactly what's going to happen. If you ask him, he absolutely
00:26:30will do it. You have to realize one of the worst things that happened to the church was the spirit
00:26:37of religion. Do you not know that even the priest early on in those first centuries, they took on vows,
00:26:45they took pledges of poverty. That thing is working to this day in the church, that you're not supposed to
00:26:53have any kind of wealth. You're not supposed to be humble and poor. And that is the biggest lie the
00:27:03enemy could ever put on the body of Christ. Poverty is not humility. Just get that in your head.
00:27:11Because the truth of the matter is, I know a whole lot of folk, okay, who really are in poverty
00:27:18and they
00:27:19are far from humble. So it's just these foolish religious practices that have entered into the body
00:27:28of Christ. And that's what the word of God does. It's driving it out in Jesus name. This demonic
00:27:34spirit called religion is yet to be identified by the church. The ecclesia has got to wake up and see
00:27:41it for what it is. The Bible is not a religious book. Never was, never was meant to be. The
00:27:47Bible
00:27:48is a legal document. It represents a country, a kingdom, okay? A planet, so to speak. It's a legal
00:27:57document representing the kingdom of God. That's why it's called the law of God. It's not called the
00:28:04religions of God. It's called the law of God. The Bible is not a religious doctrine nor a religious
00:28:12document, okay? The Bible, it is the constitution of the kingdom. It is the constitution of a country
00:28:22called heaven. This is got to be, we got to start thinking differently. If you want to experience what
00:28:29Jesus said that he brought, then we have to think on his terms. In other words, he that believes on
00:28:36me
00:28:36as the scripture says so. It has to be according to as he says and not how the spirit of
00:28:42religion
00:28:43has just cast its spell on the body of Christ and have so many people thinking so opposite of the
00:28:50scriptures. That's why we're not seeing and experiencing what the word of God says. The Bible
00:28:55is about a king and his kingdom and his royal family. Glory to God. The Bible is about the established
00:29:05kingdom of a king. The Bible tells how the realm of this king was lost in the earth and how
00:29:15it was
00:29:16regained through again the precious blood of Jesus. The Bible tells of the kingdom that has come and the
00:29:26kingdom that is yet to come. And so all of this is preparing not just for now in the present
00:29:34but also
00:29:35for what is to come. The Bible is not about a religion. We must approach the Bible in the right
00:29:41frame of mind. The Bible is a legal document, a constitution that embodies the laws of a country
00:29:53called heaven. Shall I say it again? The Bible is a legal document, a constitution that embodies the laws
00:30:03laws of a country called heaven. So then contained in the Bible are the details of the king and his
00:30:11kingdom. The teachings that we read of the apostles and the various ones, the letters, the epistles,
00:30:20whatever you want to call, those are what really should be referred to as a conduct, the code of conduct
00:30:27of the kingdom, how you are to conduct yourself, how you are to be, how you have been designed. All
00:30:34of that
00:30:35is about understanding what you have become since you were born again into this royal family. So being
00:30:45born, this is hard for us because we were born into a democracy. Okay. I honor so much Dr. Miles
00:30:55Monroe
00:30:55because he was born and grew up in a monarch, you know, a monarchy where there was a king and
00:31:05there
00:31:05was the whole setup of royalty and he understood how it worked. Thank God for him because he used again
00:31:11the natural because the natural is your looking glass into the spiritual and he was able to begin to teach
00:31:18and give greater insight on the actual Bible and what it means more than anyone that I really know of.
00:31:25And so a democracy is very different from a monarchy. Okay. The concept of a kingdom is not really
00:31:33understood when you, you know, are so into this thing called democracy. Democracy, it has no concept of
00:31:41kingdom. In fact, democracy is completely opposite of kingdom. So therefore kingdom concept is viewed
00:31:49through the eyes of democracy, our own environment, our own land and, you know, the type of upbringing
00:31:57that we came up in. But Jesus is not a president. Okay. He's a king. In a democracy, the power
00:32:08is in the people. Okay. Power to the people. You know, they vote, they decide who's in and who's out,
00:32:16so on and so forth. But in the kingdom, the power is in the one person called the king. That's
00:32:21the king.
00:32:22In a democracy, the vote, you vote in. And again, the people have everything to do with that,
00:32:31supposedly. I'm hardly sure no more. But anyway, in kingdom, there is no vote. Okay. Democracy,
00:32:42you understand the people, they make the laws. But in kingdom, the king's word is the law. Do you see
00:32:49the difference? So democracy is about a personal ownership. They talk about the American dream,
00:32:55you know, and to own your own this and own your own so-and-so. In kingdom, you own nothing.
00:33:03And
00:33:03that's the next area that we really want to cover because this kind of thinking is what's going to
00:33:08get you really in that place of increase and out of the kind of debt that just kind of bogs
00:33:14you down
00:33:15and distracts you. All these areas are going to be covered as we walk you through the kingdom
00:33:23citizens' rights. It's going to be so powerful. And you will begin to see it if you listen and ask
00:33:30the Holy Spirit to just, you know, open up your eyes of understanding so you can receive it fully
00:33:36so that you can absolutely begin to see the move of God take place. And a lot of the burdens
00:33:42and
00:33:42things you've been carrying will be lifted. I declare it will be in Jesus' name. All right. And so as
00:33:49we
00:33:49say that democracy is about, you know, it's, it's about ownership, you know, you, you, you should
00:33:56own this and you should own in kingdom, you own nothing. And that's the mindset you want. You don't
00:34:03own anything. The King owns everything. Okay. Now let me, let's take a look at the word owner and it'll
00:34:12be more familiar to the word owner is, is the Hebrew word Adon. Okay. Adon. It's likened on to
00:34:21Adonai. Okay. Which means Lord. I've shared that many times that the word Lord means owner. Adonai is
00:34:31owner in Hebrew. So the world Lord means owner. He owns everything. The, the only Lord in your country
00:34:41is the one Lord. There is no other. Okay. Psalms 24 and verse one. And again, I've shared this
00:34:54many times even, but maybe now because we're really focused on zeroing it on kingdom. You'll really hear
00:35:00it this time because our biggest problem is we, you know, say I have to pay my bill. Well, if
00:35:10they're
00:35:10you own nothing, then you're going to start thinking differently. And then you're going
00:35:15to start seeing some results. And one by one, those things, those bills that God is going
00:35:20to take care of that for you. You'll see, as we walk through it, this is not just talk. I'm
00:35:24not, this is your legal document called the Bible. Psalms 24 says this, the earth is what
00:35:33the, the, the Lord, the earth is agonized. Okay. And everything in it, the world and all
00:35:40who live in it. Okay. So one of the first things you want to understand when you're in kingdom
00:35:47is he owns everything. You own nothing. You don't want to own nothing because what you
00:35:53own, you have to be responsible for it. And what he owns, he is responsible for it. So this
00:35:59is not a religious Psalms 24 and one is not a religious statement. It's a statement of
00:36:08ownership. It's telling you who owns everything to understand kingdom thinking is to never worry
00:36:16again. Worry is a sign. Here we go. That you're religious and religion makes you think you have
00:36:26to do things because you always got to do something. Religion is all about doing, doing, busy, busy,
00:36:33busy, doing, keep doing and never stop and never see any results, but keep doing it anyway.
00:36:40When you're kingdom minded, you understand that no one owns anything. God can remove from anyone
00:36:50at any time and give it to whom he will because he is Adonai. He is the owner.
00:36:59Get this in your mind so that you'll stop saying my this or my house or my car or my,
00:37:05you want to lose
00:37:07that because you're really a steward. You are not an owner. So if you don't understand this concept,
00:37:14then the Bible will make no sense to you because it's an entirely different concept. And what I've
00:37:21been saying all along, kingdom is a different mindset. It is not a religion has got God's people
00:37:29so pressed down with so many issues and they're carrying so many things that God never gave them
00:37:35to carry. And they're concerned about things that God never gave them to. You've taken on ownership
00:37:42of something that never belongs to you because if you keep owning it, then you're going to be
00:37:48responsible for it. And kingdom is telling you entirely different. In God's kingdom, you don't own.
00:37:56You actually have access to everything that is his. This is why Jesus never had to teach prosperity.
00:38:09It's called common wealth. You have access to it. And when you realize that this is the original
00:38:17thinking that you're supposed to have, then you're going to have to work on the kind of
00:38:22deprogramming yourself or I call it detoxing because that stuff is toxic, man. It has you
00:38:27really worried and sick and all sorts of things coming on you. And so this is why when I said,
00:38:35you know, Lord, you're going to show me how you want to bring this lesson in terms of kingdom
00:38:40citizens rights, this is the foundation. This is where it begins. And then we'll actually get into
00:38:45some actual scriptures, but we're laying a foundation now. And I hope that you're just kind
00:38:50of following along with me as we walk you through this and understand, okay, this is foundational.
00:38:57Okay. And this is where your access and what you have, and you will unload the burdens and the things
00:39:06that you've carried unloaded, release yourself now in Jesus name. Ephesians chapter two
00:39:15and verse 12 says this, excuse me. Ephesians chapter two and verse 12 says that at that time,
00:39:23you were without price being aliens from the common wealth before you became born again,
00:39:35you know, you were not even a part of the common wealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants
00:39:42of promise. Okay. Paul broke that down really good. I said, thank God for that because I can really see
00:39:49that how, when we don't really have a renewing of the mind, even though we come in becoming born again,
00:39:57we bring all that stuff with us and there's no real teaching. You'd be hard pressed to get some real
00:40:04teaching according to what Jesus said and not what people want to have a catchy topic in a name. And
00:40:12they just want to, you know, get people all emotional and excited and, you know, okay.
00:40:19What, what do we get out of it? All this excitement, shouting, speaking in tongues, all those things,
00:40:24yet going home to the same situation, nothing changing. That was never God's plan. This is how
00:40:30it is that you, he says you once were okay. That, that was what you were. You were not a
00:40:36part of the
00:40:37common wealth, but when you became born again, you are now a part of the common wealth. Okay. So the
00:40:45Bible is really not about a religion. It's about his kingdom. All right. And again, this is a promise.
00:40:55It's a part of covenant. God is a covenant maker, not a covenant breaker. He does not break covenant.
00:41:00When you came into covenant through the blood of Jesus, you're in. Okay. And nothing can, no one can
00:41:12pluck you out of his hand. All right. Let's look at Luke chapter nine, verse 11, Luke chapter nine,
00:41:18verse 11. And it goes on like this. He says, but the crowds found out where he was going and
00:41:25they
00:41:25followed him. And what'd he do? He welcomed them and he taught them about the kingdom of God and he
00:41:35healed those who were sick. So Jesus never preached about healing. He just did it. It comes with the
00:41:43territory. And when you realize this is your right, healing is, it's not a religious, uh, it's,
00:41:51it's your right. It's a part of your covenant wealth, the common wealth. That's a part of who
00:42:00you are. That's a part of how it, you know, becomes yours and you have access to it, but not
00:42:06if you're
00:42:06thinking religiously and you're not getting the kind of renewing of the mind that it takes so that
00:42:14the Holy spirit can be magnified and bring about again, the changes that Jesus shed his blood for
00:42:22you to have. Jesus would teach first the kingdom of God. Then he would heal who needed to be healed.
00:42:32He would teach the kingdom of God. Then he would feed them if they needed to be fed. You see
00:42:37in the
00:42:37kingdom of God, there's no sickness and the kingdom has returned to the earth. So we must start thinking
00:42:45like that. You must not allow other thinking to come in. It's so, so you can be healed in the
00:42:52earth
00:42:52as it is in heaven. If you will think that away, if you think that, well, you know, maybe God
00:42:59is,
00:43:00you know, teaching me something or maybe this, or even if you say I shouldn't have done, it was my
00:43:04fault. So whatever way you're thinking, you need to be renewed in your thinking so that you can think
00:43:10what the kingdom has, what Jesus taught. As I've said before, we've been good at teaching Jesus,
00:43:15but now we must teach what Jesus taught. We must say what he said. We must become master teachers and
00:43:24do
00:43:24exactly what he said. All right. And so then miracles, miracles are really evidence of the return of the
00:43:31kingdom to the earth. Okay. They're there and we have access. Luke 12 and 32, Luke chapter 12. Again,
00:43:41everything you're going to have so many scriptures about kingdom. I really have gathered as many as
00:43:46possible. There's so many more. I had no idea how many more I said, how did we miss? It's all
00:43:52from the
00:43:52beginning to the end. And how did we miss taking time to learn this? Cause the enemy that's, but,
00:43:58but you know what, it's over now. You are stepping into a whole new realm. Luke chapter 12 and verse
00:44:0432
00:44:05says, do not be afraid little flock for your father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Wow.
00:44:17It's his pleasure. Now notice it didn't say give you a religion.
00:44:24It's his pleasure. It's his pleasure. He's pleased to give you, to make sure you have access to what
00:44:31Jesus shed his blood for. Matthew chapter 13 and verse 33, Matthew chapter 13, a lot of scriptures,
00:44:40but this is, look, this is the word of God and it's going to be so magnified in you. Things
00:44:45are going to
00:44:45have to change for you. It has to turn around. You understand? It's not going to have any,
00:44:50you're going to have so much word and it's going to be magnified in you. And you're going to start
00:44:55feeling changes right away, right away. Matthew 13 and 33 says this, the kingdom of heaven is like
00:45:01unto leaven or yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till the whole
00:45:12was leaven. The whole lump was leaven. He said, this is how the kingdom is. The more you get it,
00:45:20the more it's going to spread. And that's exactly what we're doing. We're going to give you so much
00:45:26word concerning the kingdom that like leaven, like yeast, you know, yeast does it rises. It just,
00:45:33it, it actually penetrates the whole lump. And this is what the kingdom does. He says,
00:45:38it's going to spread in you. This is such a, going to be such a blessing to you. You're going
00:45:45to go to
00:45:45sleep listening to scriptures of the kingdom of God. And, and absolutely the Holy spirit is going
00:45:52to work with you so that that change, you can begin to work with him because change has got, you
00:45:58cannot
00:45:58get the word of kingdom and not experience change. And I mean, right away, right away. So the kingdom
00:46:06kingdom is like a culture because yeast is also like a culture. It's called a culture. It's like
00:46:11a culture of, of influence. Okay. And influence it spreads throughout wherever it goes. So right now
00:46:19it's spreading in you. Hallelujah. It's spreading from your head, right down to your, your eyes and
00:46:26your ears and your words and your very being. And it's going to bring about the kind of change
00:46:33change that you deserve, that you have been through so much. You have endured, you've been
00:46:38faithful. And God is saying, this word is going to turn things around for you and you will see the
00:46:44difference. All right. And so the kingdom of God is sent to what? To regain earth back to God. He
00:46:52wants
00:46:52it just the way it was supposed to be to influence the earth. Therefore, the divine purpose of God
00:47:00was to extend his kingdom from what? From heaven into this earthly realm. And that's exactly what's
00:47:08taking place. It's called really colonization, which we should be familiar with that because
00:47:14that's how America began with colonization. When Britain was trying to expand, expand their kingdom
00:47:20and they came here. This is why we have all these, you know, traits from, from England right here.
00:47:26We even have different states and things that are named after, uh, you know, the new England realm,
00:47:34because we were colonized by them, uh, until of course, you know, the different things that broke
00:47:40out and we were no longer under, but colonization is what, what Genesis is all about. Okay. Yes. It's,
00:47:49it's, it's when a kingdom extends its influence to a foreign territory. And so heaven is the main
00:47:59territory. Earth is a foreign territory and heaven has extended itself to this earthly realm. God
00:48:05created earth to bring or to extend his kingdom to the earthly realm, because that's what kingdoms do.
00:48:14They expand through what is called colonization. All right. And so when you are under the rule of a
00:48:22kingdom, you speak the language. I went through that. I think before that, one of the first things that
00:48:28happens is, is English. We speak English because the English were, we were under that influence and that
00:48:34was the influence, you know, until again, the various wars and things that broke out that changed it.
00:48:40Uh, but this is very, this is very real. Uh, when you're under the rule of a kingdom,
00:48:45you speak the language that the kingdom, you have a heavenly language because that's the language
00:48:50of the kingdom. This is, this is not when people fight against tongues, it's cause religion,
00:48:56they're fighting a religious realm that people who understand kingdom, they're not fighting against
00:49:02it. It's, it's the language of, of the heaven where, where I came from and where I will return to.
00:49:07So, I mean, to fight against that, that's cause you don't understand kingdom.
00:49:11You're, you're religious speaking in tongues. It's not a religion. It's the language of the
00:49:16kingdom of God. It's the language of heaven. It's regaining your own tongue, your original
00:49:22tongue, your original language kingdom impacts the territories culture. It it's again called
00:49:28colonization. It's interrupting or I'm sorry. Interpreting tongues is not being interpreted for
00:49:36heaven that that's for the earthly realm, for the people who don't understand it, who don't know
00:49:42what's going on. And again, they make it religious and that's why they, you know, resist it and don't
00:49:47want it, but that's religion. When you understand kingdom, you realize that that's the language of
00:49:52heaven. And that's one of the first things that takes place when a kingdom begins to influence
00:49:59and absolutely expand itself. So in kingdoms impact territories, that's, that's what they do.
00:50:05Matthew chapter 12, verse 28. Yes, we have lots of scriptures, so many scriptures so that you can
00:50:11really read it and get it in your spirit and just watch the change take place. Just watch things begin
00:50:17to turn around. Matthew 12 says this verse 28 says, but if I cast out devils by the spirit of
00:50:23God,
00:50:24then the kingdom of God has come unto you. And I have to say this so many times, because again,
00:50:30when people don't understand the scripture, they think it's still to come. Well, this realm of kingdom
00:50:35has come. This is the realm of law and order. Okay. To cast out a devil that is legal. That's
00:50:45what
00:50:45we're supposed to do. We are the judicial on the ecclesia, the judicial arm of, of the kingdom of God.
00:50:55And that's why we have authority to do that and to, to resist that. It is, it's like every country
00:51:04has
00:51:04laws and the abiding, the law abiding citizens, which would be us. You want to see those laws enforced
00:51:13glory to God. And so this again, when he says, if you see this happening, I'm telling you the
00:51:19government of the kingdom of God is calm. It's come onto you. It's not coming. It is, it has come.
00:51:28This is evidence that the government or the culture of heaven has been returned into this earthly realm.
00:51:35Jesus, you know, he called miracles work. It was a common part of, you know,
00:51:43what he said? I do what my father says to do. It's not entertainment. It's proof that the laws
00:51:49of the kingdom have arrived. In other words, sickness is illegal. It's not truthful. It's not
00:51:56supposed to be on you. The law of the kingdom has arrived. You have a right to cast it from
00:52:02you.
00:52:02You have every right to not want to be sick, to not want to pay out a lot of doctor
00:52:08bills. You have
00:52:09every right to that. That's your right. Healing is your right. Commonwealth is your right. And that's
00:52:18the way God wants you to start thinking. And that's what this word is about. And so again, it's the
00:52:23evidence of the government of God. And it's showing you that this is what Jesus paid the price for you
00:52:32to
00:52:32have. All right. And so we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, but we don't preach the gospel that
00:52:40Jesus preached. And that's a wonderful saying from Dr. Miles Monroe. And I'll always ever be so grateful
00:52:47for his ministry, his obedience, the blessing that he has really left the body of Christ because it's so
00:52:55true and it makes so much sense and it'll bless and change your life forever. Acts 28 and verse 30.
00:53:02Acts 28 and verse 30 says this. It says, and Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house
00:53:13or his own
00:53:14rented house and received all that came in onto him. Now watch this. Preaching the kingdom of God
00:53:25and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence and no man forbidding
00:53:35him. And so people who didn't understand when Paul was dealing with the death bearer, those were people
00:53:43that were in opposition with him. And if you read it correctly, the apostles really, because they had so
00:53:49much conflict with the religious rulers. Okay. They spent a lot of time back and forth dealing with,
00:53:56you know, things that would help them to better be able to spread the gospel of the kingdom. But again,
00:54:03they spent a lot of time dealing with the death burial because I mean, that was a major ministry for
00:54:08them because people had actually seen Jesus crucified, killed, died on the cross. And now they had to be
00:54:17convinced that he rose again, that he was alive and he was well and so on and so forth. And
00:54:23so he spent
00:54:24a lot of time in opposition, but their message was what Jesus preached, the kingdom of God. Paul welcomed
00:54:32them in whenever there was a chance, he would welcome them. And the scripture says he would preach
00:54:37the kingdom of God. All right. Matthew chapter 10 and verse seven, Matthew chapter 10 and verse seven,
00:54:47it says, and as you go, so now he instructs them, he's instructing them as you go, preach saying the
00:54:57kingdom of heaven is at hand. The kingdom of heaven has arrived. He actually told them what to preach
00:55:03because he knew that they'd have their own message. They'd have their own, which is what's going on right
00:55:09now. Okay. In Christendom, people want their own message, their own, you know, he says, as you go, the NIV
00:55:18says, proclaim this message, the kingdom of heaven has arrived. And so this is the message that we're supposed
00:55:27to be sharing. Like I said, people don't want religion. They want God, but they don't want
00:55:34religion and kingdom forces you to bring the realm of what Jesus brought instead of what this religious
00:55:44spirit is imposing upon people. As I said before, people don't want religion. Okay. They want God,
00:55:54but they don't want religion. Listen, when we come back, we will continue because we're going to
00:55:58actually walk you through what are some of your rights and how do you begin to manifest them? Now,
00:56:05believe it or not, I told you a very powerful thing. It may sound simple and unimportant, but by simply
00:56:10asking the Holy spirit to magnify himself in you, magnify the word in you, that's a big thing. I
00:56:17encourage you to really, I mean, put it, put it to practice. Holy spirit, magnify God's word in me,
00:56:27because when that word starts magnifying, it's alive, it is alive and it will begin to bring the
00:56:34kind of change that you need. You need this change. You need this for your life. You need really the
00:56:41kingdom. That's what we've been longing for. That's what we're here for. We were never about all this
00:56:47other stuff. You know, I began to clean out my closet. I got rid of, I'm getting rid of so
00:56:51many
00:56:52books because all, and I have books and you know, I would read like a book, two, three books, maybe
00:56:57a
00:56:58month. And I still do a lot of reading, but I understand now they were good for, I guess that
00:57:04phase in my life, but they're not about kingdom. In fact, they cover just about everything except the
00:57:10realm of kingdom. And so this begins to teach you to focus zero in on what Jesus did and what
00:57:19he said
00:57:20and what he taught and what he preached, because that's, what's going to bring change. Now I understand
00:57:26why the scripture says, when you really don't fully understand kingdom immediately, Satan comes
00:57:34and we'll cover that when we come back. Father, in the strong name of Jesus, thank you for the word
00:57:39of
00:57:39God. Thank you for those who are diligently seeking your kingdom and your righteousness, Lord. You said
00:57:48that they would be filled. And if they seek you, that you would be found. And I encourage God's people
00:57:55to seek the kingdom of God for yourself. Watch the change begin. Watch things begin to come in line.
00:58:03Little by little, line upon line, step by step, it's going to start happening for you. I decree and
00:58:10declare it so in Jesus name. And you will see it right away as you begin to align yourself with
00:58:18the
00:58:18kingdom of God. God bless you. I look forward to our time together. We got so much we want to
00:58:23cover,
00:58:24powerful scriptures that maybe you haven't even really read, but we're going to bring them forth as
00:58:30we continue in this study, this masterclass, kingdom citizens rights. We'll see you then. God bless.
