00:08:33So thank you, like, subscribe, and of course, share. And we thank you for that in advance.

00:09:29who, believe it or not, she's really reaching out to beautiful young people and bringing them

00:09:34in her home and teaching. Thank you, Joey. We just appreciate those of you who are really

00:09:40taking this message of the kingdom to the people of God and taking it and making it very serious and

00:09:48very necessary. And it's what we should have been doing all along. But hey, God is blessing us and

00:09:53we're going to do exactly what he has given us to do in Jesus' name. All right. So I may

00:09:59review some

00:10:00of the scriptures because I just want to make sure that you have just an arsenal of word as you

00:10:07go

00:10:07forth in this understanding the kingdom citizens' rights. All right. And again, this is Masterclass.

00:10:15We say welcome to each and every one of you that are joining us. You want to have pen and

00:10:19paper on

00:10:19hand as we go forth. And we will begin with prayer. And again, we listen, we continue to lift you

00:10:27all

00:10:27up. Just know that we are consistently interceding on behalf of you and your loved ones, your family.

00:10:35It is what God has put in our spirit to do, to intercede for his people. And we love doing

00:10:41it.

00:10:41We thank God for the opportunity to pray and lift you up in Jesus' name. And so again, just know

00:10:49that

00:10:50we are doing exactly what God has given us to do to the best of our ability. And it's he

00:10:57who

00:10:57strengthens us and enables us to do even more as we are pursuing. We are in pursuit, praise God,

00:11:06God of the kingdom. So Spirit of the living God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity

00:11:10to share this powerful word of your kingdom as you have instructed us and commissioned us to go forth

00:11:18and make it known to the people. And so thank you. Thank you for revelation knowledge. Thank you,

00:11:24Father God, that you will continue to bless the eyes of the understanding of your people,

00:11:29to be enlightened, that they may see more clearly here and discern all that you have for them in

00:11:36Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Well, bless God. Listen, I want to say that this is such an important lesson.

00:11:48I guess that's why I feel the need to go over it again because so many are being blessed by

00:11:53it. So

00:11:53many are letting us know that they've not heard this teaching before. It is so necessary. They've heard

00:11:58the scriptures many times, but not a full teaching on it. So we're thankful for that. And we pray that

00:12:06you'll continue to receive what God has given us for his people in Jesus' name. All right. And so we

00:12:15begin. Let me see what I want to start. Well, I'll go. I'm going back just a little bit. I

00:12:23think I'll

00:12:23begin with our foundational scripture, Matthew chapter 6 and verse 33, because that just kind

00:12:31of covers everything. And so that should be our foundation in terms of our teaching in the kingdom.

00:12:36So Matthew chapter 6 and verse 33, it says, but seek first the kingdom and his righteousness,

00:12:46and all these things will be given or added onto you. And, and it's important to understand that

00:12:54that's one of the greatest promises that Jesus made to his people is to understand that you don't

00:13:02have to go out seeking after things. But he put, made it very easy. Actually, I just began to seek

00:13:10out, pray in the Holy ghost, seeking the kingdom, because when you began to seek the kingdom, it's

00:13:16going to cover everything else that you need. It's no wonder in Luke chapter 4 and verse 43,

00:13:23Jesus said, I must preach the good news or the gospel of the kingdom of God to, to other towns.

00:13:31Also, he says, because why, why, why must you do this? Jesus. He said, because that's why I was sent.

00:13:38Okay. That is the purpose I was sent for. So when, when you hear Jesus himself saying,

00:13:45this is why I'm actually here, then don't you think that we should pay attention and, and begin to

00:13:55actually, if, if you want to really be a master teacher, which is what Jesus was, John the Baptist

00:14:01was master teacher is not you being some big scholar and knowing a whole lot of things, but it's really,

00:14:08holding true to the context of what the scripture says to keep it. And it's original as we have

00:14:17shared with you over and over again, that when the message gets diluted, you will not have the same

00:14:24results. And if we be honest, we understand that we've read a lot of wonderful things in the scripture

00:14:31that we have not experienced. And my answer to that is because you cannot have one foot in the religious

00:14:39realm, uh, and, and the other foot in kingdom. It won't work. You have to go into the fullness.

00:14:46And Jesus made it very clear. This is why I came so that this, uh, return of the kingdom,

00:14:54which was lost in the garden with Adam and Eve. And Jesus said, this is why I came to return

00:15:01this

00:15:01so that you would have God's original intent for you and make no, listen, be very clear and understand

00:15:10that God's word will not return to him void. In other words, what his plan is for you. It doesn't

00:15:16matter

00:15:16how old, how young, what has happened to you, what has not happened for you or whatever. God's word

00:15:24is not going to return void. He has a plan and he will continue and you will come into the

00:15:31promises

00:15:32of the, you know, all of God's promises are what? Yes. And amen. Yay. And amen. And so as we

00:15:40continue now,

00:15:41uh, we also read Matthew 23. And again, this is just to kind of repeat. I think, uh, Casey has

00:15:46it up there. If you want to, you know, go over all the scriptures there, therefore you can download

00:15:51it. It's right there for you. Matthew 23 and 13 here, Jesus really, he comes against the religious

00:15:59people. And this is what we have to continue to emphasize. Religion is not of God. It didn't come

00:16:06from God. It sounds good. And to many, it even feels good, but it presents itself to be something

00:16:12that it is not. And, and it's not of God. And so Jesus says, woe to you teachers of the

00:16:18law,

00:16:18you Pharisees, you scribes, you hypocrites. He says, you shut the door of the kingdom of heaven to,

00:16:24to the peoples, uh, shut the door right in their faces. He says, and you yourselves do not enter,

00:16:31nor will you let those enter who are seeking. So what is the biggest hindrance to the teaching and

00:16:37the message of the kingdom, the religious leaders, the religious rulers, uh, the number one obstacle

00:16:43to the people entering into the kingdom of heaven and hearing the message is preachers and bishops

00:16:49and leaders, those with the big titles, those who insist, you know, that they have, you know, the,

00:16:55the, the ultimate message and, and, and all they need to do is hear what Jesus said. As I said,

00:17:02many times, I continue to say, we've done a fabulous job of preaching Jesus. Okay. But now it is time

00:17:11for

00:17:12us to preach what Jesus preached and it was the kingdom. It was why he came to make us understand

00:17:20that God, God almighty can not fit in anybody's religion. God is a spirit. He encompasses this earth.

00:17:30Then Isaiah picked it up and said, the earth is but a drop in the bucket. When you're dealing with

00:17:36God

00:17:36and the spirit realm, when you understand the massiveness of, of, of God's creation and God

00:17:43himself, I say, just take a moment sometimes and just take in the creation, look at the skies and look

00:17:52at all that God almighty and see if that should add up in your head, that he should be considered

00:17:58a

00:17:59religion listed as a religious. God is not a religion. Nothing that he does has to do with

00:18:07religiosity. If you really want to step into the power of what God has placed you here for,

00:18:13then we need to do exactly what the word of God says. We need to believe on him. He says,

00:18:19you that believe on me as the scripture says, stay true to the scripture. Okay. Then out of your belly

00:18:28shall flow rivers of living water, the waters of life, the things that God has promised you is there

00:18:36waiting for you. All right. And we said the word woe in Hebrew is actually a curse word. It literally

00:18:42means damn you. Jesus cursed the religious leaders who were preventing the message of the kingdom of

00:18:49God's arrival into the earth. Okay. Because they didn't want to receive it and they didn't want anyone

00:18:55else to receive it. And so understand how serious this message is when Jesus got to that point.

00:19:02All right. And then of course he gives these, how can I say, parables or different understandings of

00:19:11what is a kingdom. Matthew 13 and 33, we have an example. He says, the kingdom of heaven is like

00:19:17yeast. Okay. Now remember when he's given these examples, this is not something outside of you.

00:19:25Because where is the kingdom of heaven? He says, the kingdom is within you. It's in you. If they

00:19:32say here or go there, he says, don't go because it's in you. I've said it many times. Your future

00:19:37is

00:19:38not ahead of you. Your future is inside of you. What God is doing is inside of you. That's why

00:19:43it takes

00:19:43so much for us to go through and deal with things because God is working a work in us. And

00:19:49so when he

00:19:50says that the kingdom is likened onto yeast, well, that is something that it's, it absolutely,

00:19:56it's a culture we've shared with that. And he says, look, he understood the effects of yeast

00:20:03because it's a culture. And it's a wonderful comparison to the actual culture of the world

00:20:10system and how we live and who we are, as opposed to this yeast, which is also close to what?

00:20:15Because

00:20:15it spreads, it spreads, culture spreads, yeast spreads. In other words, he said, well, that's

00:20:20what the kingdom of heaven is like. It is like yeast. Okay. It begins to, you know, spread. Once it

00:20:29gets

00:20:29in, it begins to spread. As I continue to preach and teach this message of kingdom, it's like yeast going

00:20:39in you. It's going to spread. You're going to realize that God has really considered you as a

00:20:46part of the kingdom itself. And as you receive it, it's going to spread in you and it's going to

00:20:53spread

00:20:53among others. And as I said before, people, they don't want religion. They want God, but not this

00:21:01religious stuff. It's starting to realize that this religious thing is just a whole lot of, just a big

00:21:08smoke screen where people have performed and tried to be something that they're not, only to realize

00:21:14that was never God in the first place. So it begins to spread. And guess what? It cannot be stopped.

00:21:22And as this message of the kingdom continues, it's going to spread. And what's wonderful is the yeast,

00:21:30it will engage the dough, the flour, it'll engage it, but it never becomes the dough. Do you

00:21:37understand that? You do not become your situations, your environment, the world system? You will spread

00:21:45and engage it and it will become into you, but you will not become it. All right. And that is

00:21:52so

00:21:52important. Matthew 3, I'm sorry, 13 and verse 11, Jesus replied. He says, now this to me is one of

00:22:01the

00:22:02most important statements. So if you didn't get Matthew 13 and 11 on our last session, make sure

00:22:09you write it down this time, because to me, this is key to what a lot of believers do not

00:22:15get or even

00:22:16understand or even ever hear. Okay. It said here, Jesus replies, because why the disciples came to him

00:22:24privately as a scripture saying, they ask him, why do you teach in parables? You know, and he answered

00:22:29them, he says, because what the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given

00:22:36to you, not to them. Okay. Because why? Because they obviously are looking for ways to come against

00:22:47Jesus. Why would he waste time on someone who's not willing to receive? And, and, you know, as he

00:22:54continues in his teaching, he said, don't give, you know, what is good to the swine. Don't throw pearls to

00:22:59the swine. Don't give what is good to dogs. He's making it very clear that this is so valuable.

00:23:05It must not be wasted on those who don't want to receive it. And in one point he says, look,

00:23:10they don't receive it. Shake the dust off your feet and keep moving. In fact, let me add that

00:23:15scripture right now while I'm on that area, that, that subject of, of, you know, Luke chapter 10.

00:23:22And this might be another scripture that I didn't give you before. So you might want to write

00:23:25down Luke chapter 10 verses eight and nine. Uh, again, this is where Jesus sends out. Many of

00:23:32you remember the scripture. He sends out the 70 and, you know, they come back and they're excited

00:23:37because they said devils, you know, are subject, uh, to, to them and so on. And they're explaining

00:23:45the scribe and they're excited as to what took place. Okay. And so by the time you get to verse

00:23:52eight, again, this is all, all what Jesus is instruct. He's still talking. He's still telling

00:23:58them. He says in verse eight, he says, and into whatsoever city you enter and they receive you

00:24:05eat such things as are set before you. And then watch this and heal the sick that are there in

00:24:13and do what? And say, he's telling you what to say and say unto them, the kingdom of God

00:24:21has come nigh unto you, has returned unto you, has arrived here for you. In other words, we are here

00:24:29because healing is your legal right. Sickness and disease is illegal to be upon the body of God's

00:24:40believers of God's chosen of those whom God has called and chosen and marked for you have to, this

00:24:47is your right to be healed. Okay. And when the kingdom or the government of God comes to a person,

00:24:55now what's happening? Uh, the, the, the authority of his kingdom, the government of his kingdom is saying

00:25:03this sickness is illegal and it must be cast out. It must be cast from you and, and you can

00:25:11be healed

00:25:11because that's the law. That's the government of the kingdom of God. And so one of the most powerful

00:25:17things to understand is, is why we've entitled this, the citizens rights is to understand the rights that

00:25:25was returned. Uh, when Jesus, you know, the, the whole, we, if we could get rid of the, the pagan

00:25:32terminology, maybe we'd really understand what resurrection Sunday was all about. They're so busy

00:25:40naming it something that is not of God. It's a pagan, uh, you know, term. It's a pagan goddess,

00:25:49idols. These things are not of God. And we wonder why are we not having the full effects since we

00:25:57got

00:25:57to get real here and realize what is going on. Remember, we told you naming something naming is

00:26:04an ancient technology. It's been around forever from the beginning, right up until now, because what

00:26:11you name, you control what you name, you own, you control it. We got to realize, and I, I, I

00:26:19pray the body of Christ will wake up and realize what the enemy has named. He's controlling it.

00:26:25So you get something. The most powerful thing in the earth was resurrection of Jesus Christ to

00:26:32wipe out the sins of the world, the precious blood of Jesus speak then and speaking now to this day.

00:26:41And they have the nerve to call that day Easter. I mean, think about this. The enemy has

00:26:49taken control and charge of, and it's time for the body of Christ, the blood bought believers to take

00:26:56it back. Well, how do we take it by starting to deal with the scripture as he said it, as

00:27:02it is

00:27:03written, not with what the majority of the world goes with. And you just go with the flow. Well,

00:27:09cause that's what everybody says. That's what they, you know, that's all they know. Well,

00:27:13they'll never know anything else. If no one ever steps out and says, this is what it really is.

00:27:17And so again, it's a challenge. Broad is the way of destruction, but the path of God and righteousness

00:27:26is, it's narrow. This is a narrow path, but I believe that those who will, again, will take on

00:27:33this challenge of the kingdom of God and begin to embrace it and seek after it, pursue it. Your life

00:27:41will change for the better forever, and it'll just keep getting better and better. And so again,

00:27:47he's telling them, say this, say this, heal them, and then tell them, this is the kingdom

00:27:52of God. This is what's happening. And then, you know what, when you do what the scripture

00:27:57says, you can hold God to his word. Lord, this is what your word said. Your word said to heal

00:28:03the sick and then tell them that this is the kingdom. So then when you do that, now, if you

00:28:09haven't done that, you can't hold him to anything. This is your, you know, the world system.

00:28:16God is not going to pay for something he didn't order. Glory to God. And so when you realize,

00:28:23and again, religion excludes, it excludes just about any and everybody. Well, this is only for

00:28:31this one, or you got to have a title. You need these credentials and all this kind of stuff.

00:28:35That's not what the Bible says. It says when you go say this, heal them. You know, this is so

00:28:42simple,

00:28:43but religion has complicated it and made it to be something that it is not. All right. I'm taking

00:28:50off. Glory to God. I pray you hang with me. Darnese, girl, it's good to see you. Woman of God,

00:28:55love seeing you when you join us on these live streams. Listen, Darnese, we go back a long way.

00:29:02You know, we, we went back quite some time. So my goodness, uh, to, to see her, she is a

00:29:08real

00:29:08warrior in Jesus name. Love you, woman of God. All right. Uh, and so here we go now. So then

00:29:15what

00:29:15there are secrets. I'm back to, uh, Matthew 11. He says, it's for you to know these things,

00:29:23but guess what? If, if we don't seek after the kingdom, he's not going to, wouldn't it be no

00:29:28different than the, the, the, the scribes and the Pharisees and those who he would not

00:29:33say it to because, you know, we'll be no different. So why don't we know? Because we've been

00:29:39steeped in religion, steeped in denominationalism, steeped in, you know, things that God never gave

00:29:49us. And that's why we're not seeing the results. You want to see the results, start doing exactly

00:29:55what Jesus said. And that's why we're walking you through these scriptures. All right. Cause

00:29:59there are secrets and the guess what they have been given. They're already inside of you. If

00:30:05you have the kingdom in you, then these secrets are there, but only God can reveal them. And

00:30:10that comes from you deciding to go all the way in kingdom and not one foot in religion, the

00:30:15other foot in kingdom. All right. It's not for outsiders. It's only for the citizens. These

00:30:21things have been given to you to make your life on earth, not only better, but different.

00:30:30It'll make people see there's something, you know, far more than religion going on with you. Glory to

00:30:38God. Matthew 16, 19 through 20. He says, I will give you, and this again, I'm repeating this because

00:30:44I think some, so many, you know, comments, they never heard it before. They've always heard about the

00:30:48keys of the kingdom, but no one has actually broke it down and given the understanding of it or even

00:30:54talked about it. Well, we're going to go deeper and deeper each time we come together. And if you

00:30:59can receive it, praise God, then you can also see the change and the results that we should have had

00:31:06all along. All right. Matthew 16, 19 says this, it says, I will give you the keys of heaven's

00:31:14kingdom. And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Now, most again, in verse 20 says,

00:31:24whatsoever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. And we use that mostly, you know,

00:31:30what the enemy, and yes, that is a part of your warfare, but it's also for your life. It is,

00:31:36listen, this is a realm of authority. That's the idea. What you unlock, he says, whatever you

00:31:43loose or unlock or whatever you bind or lock up, then this is, uh, this is your right to do

00:31:51this.

00:31:52Okay. Uh, and, and he goes on to say, uh, verse 20, uh, he warned his disciples and said, now,

00:31:58listen,

00:31:59don't tell anybody who I am yet, because I'm not ready to reveal that yet. And, and so, but,

00:32:04but whatever you lock up, I'm letting you know, this is the kind of authority that you have,

00:32:08whatever you, uh, unlock or loose or allow. See, a lot of times we don't even realize we allow

00:32:17sickness and disease with our words, my, this, or my, that, you know why so many are in debt and

00:32:23they

00:32:24can't get free because they're still calling it my bills and, and my, this, and my sickness or my

00:32:30disease or my, you know, I hear people all the time and they want me to pray. I says, you

00:32:35know what?

00:32:35I cannot pray for you. As long as you're taking ownership. If many of you remember when we started

00:32:41the top of this session, this lesson, we thought, we wanted you to be very clear that, that God,

00:32:47when you're dealing with kingdom, every God owns everything. He has authority over everything. And so

00:32:53you want to walk in the authority and power of God and God doesn't want you to own anything.

00:32:59And if he doesn't want you to own material, how much more does he not want you to own

00:33:06debt and sickness and disease? How much more would he want you to not lay hold on that and own

00:33:15it for

00:33:15your mind, this, my, why are you taking ownership of something that's killing you? Something that's

00:33:21causing you handicap, something that's causing you pain and discomfort. Uh, you, you, you're,

00:33:28you're allowing this thing to take place when indeed you need to be, uh, binding it up, locking it up

00:33:36and sending it back to wherever it came from and understand that you are unlocking the total

00:33:43release of healing, the total release of finances. It is a, it's a fact, but we haven't seen that kind

00:33:50of effect because we're only now learning that unless you denounced religion and denounce this

00:33:57term Christianity, which God never called you. I'll tell you again, in the book of acts, it says

00:34:02they were first called Christians and Antioch. Well, who would they, that called them Christians?

00:34:08They were pagans. That's all they understood was religiosity. They didn't know anything. They were

00:34:15idol worshipers. You know, they, that's all they understood. And they needed another label. Again,

00:34:22the pagans, paganistic worship and idols is demonic. It comes from the devil. So when you say they were

00:34:29called Christians, that's the enemy. And why would an entire faith of people embrace such a thing when

00:34:39God himself throughout the scriptures, we were called so many things and never did God call us

00:34:45Christians yet. That's what we embrace. And that is something that you have to denounce. You have to

00:34:51come to the conviction and the conclusion for yourself. You don't take my word for it. You got to

00:34:57have your own conviction and go before the Lord and get released from it so that you can start to

00:35:04finally see the results that Jesus was talking about when he began decreeing and declaring the kingdom

00:35:11of God. All right. And so that, then we began to show you some of these keys. We started with

00:35:16whatsoever you lock up, whatsoever you unlock, because that's a realm of authority. That's a key.

00:35:22The first key we gave you was a crown. Remember we said, if you're dealing with a kingdom, a king

00:35:28has to

00:35:28have a crown because a crown is symbolic of authority of not authority. I'm sorry. It's a

00:35:35crown. It's a, it's symbolic of power. It represents power. The symbol of the king's power is his crown.

00:35:42Okay. And we wanted you to understand that that's a key to understand. And we put these keys in proper

00:35:48order and prioritize so that you'll understand what each one is about. That one represents a realm of power.

00:35:55The symbol we gave you, the censor. So we're given each of these, these three keys is the crown. Now

00:36:01the censor,

00:36:02the censor is a fragrance. It's an incense. You see priests when they're, you know, swinging those things

00:36:08back and forth. Well, that every king, every kingdom has a censor and it represents the glory. This is so

00:36:15powerful

00:36:16because when you understand how important glory is, that you'll realize that even the, how can we give God glory?

00:36:24The best way to give God glory, excuse me, is you need to function in the way he created you.

00:36:31I've shared you many times when a manufacturer, a company creates a product, they put a guarantee,

00:36:40a warranty on that product saying, this is exactly how it has to work. And if it doesn't,

00:36:45we guarantee it and you can send it back to us and we'll send you another one or we'll fix

00:36:51it or

00:36:51whatever. In other words, that has to function exactly the way it was created. Hear me now.

00:36:58I give you an example. I remember when Cadillac first came out, this is the new Cadillac. This was

00:37:04some years ago, but this Cadillac could go so many hundreds of miles without ever needing gas.

00:37:11And they guaranteed that. And not only did the Cadillac perform like that, but it even went

00:37:18beyond their expectations. And before you know it, then all the other car makers were making these

00:37:24economic type cars that will save gas. All right. So what happened? General Motors, Cadillac, they were

00:37:31in their glory because that car was functioning exactly the way it was created to be. Well,

00:37:39if you want to give God glory, then you function exactly the way he created you. You be everything

00:37:46that he has designed you, not someone else, not like it's okay to admire people, but don't try and

00:37:52become them. Don't be like somebody. God gets glory when you are exactly who and how he made you to

00:37:59be.

00:38:00All right. And so then the glory, the sensor represents the glory. The glory is the evidence

00:38:06of the presence of the kingdom of God, the culture, its functions. Okay. The function of heaven actually

00:38:15taking place in you in the earthly realm. And then we said there was the skeptor. All right. The skeptor

00:38:21is the representative. It's representative of authority. Now we said the skeptor, this was the most

00:38:27important one. Uh, so you have the crown, which is power. You have the sensor, which is influence its

00:38:34glory. And then you have the scepter that is authority. Now we wanted you to understand how

00:38:40important the scepter was. It was the most important one of all, because why it represents you being

00:38:47authorized. Your authorization has to come from the one who is authorized at all. All right. And so with

00:38:55power, there's got to be the authorized or the authorization of that power, Mark seven and 23,

00:39:04he says, and I will profess onto them. I never knew you what was happening. Well, they're healing and

00:39:12doing all sorts of wonderful things. I think I need to get a drink of water. And what happens is

00:39:20they come back to Jesus. We've done all these wonderful things. And what's he say? Depart.

00:39:30I never knew you. I never authorized you. You were not authorized. You had no authority.

00:39:40One of the worst things to do. And one of the most dangerous things is to have power

00:39:45power and not be authorized to not have authority. That's like a police officer who has not been

00:39:55authorized to carry a weapon. And he's out and doing whatever he wants with, and he has no authority.

00:40:01This is a very serious matter when it comes to functioning in the kingdom. Thank you, Casey.

00:40:08Let's see. One second. All right. And so then, and we use Esther also as an example.

00:40:24Let's see. All right. Let me finish reading Matthew seven. He says, and I will put profess onto them. I

00:40:30never knew you depart from me. That that's the serious part. Depart from me, you that work iniquity.

00:40:36And so again, power and influence without authority, without any authorization is illegal.

00:40:46Okay. And so remember the story of Esther. Thank you, evangelist. I see you got it up there already.

00:40:52Esther chapter four and verse 11, when, you know, with the story with Esther and she has to go before

00:40:57the King and she telling them, look, you know, I don't want to go before the King because he hasn't

00:41:04summoned me because if you go before him and you've not been summoned or authorized to come before him,

00:41:13he has but one law and that's to kill you. Okay. And, and so this is so serious because so

00:41:20many people,

00:41:21we talk about power more than we do authority. And if you have power and no authority, you're just like

00:41:29the ones where Jesus said, I don't know anything about you. I never authorized you. I never sent you

00:41:34to do anything. And so a person under authority is far more dangerous than a person with power.

00:41:41I hope that makes sense to you because we got a lot of that, you know, these road first, you

00:41:48know,

00:41:49folk going around saying what God has called them, what God, and they put their own titles. They

00:41:53make their own titles of what they want to be. And it's, it's just kind of crazy because I mean,

00:42:00who wants that without being authorized? You know, it means you're not going to have any results.

00:42:06You just have a bunch of titles and letters after your name and, and no results. That makes no sense

00:42:17to me. Psalms 45 and six says your throne. Oh God will last forever. And a scepter of justice

00:42:26will be the scepter of your kingdom. And so the, one of the most important keys that you have is

00:42:36the authority to be under authority. Remember the centurion, the soldier, he says, Jesus,

00:42:42just speak the word. Now I'm not worthy for you to go into my house, but if you speak the

00:42:46word,

00:42:47says, because I understand authority, I'm under authority and the men that I have over there

00:42:52under my authority. And I know that when you speak something, the authority makes it happen.

00:42:58Do you see how, so we need God's authority because that's what makes us effective. That's what gives us

00:43:06the kind of influence. It's not ourselves. It's nothing to do with us, but it's being authorized by God.

00:43:12Psalms 110, uh, the Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion saying, rule in the midst of your

00:43:19enemies. Look at that. You need that authority because that's how you rule in the midst of the

00:43:25enemy, no matter what he does. And believe me, the devil understands the word of God far more than most,

00:43:32uh, because folk, first of all, uh, they want to believe the parts that they want to and leave out

00:43:37the parts that it doesn't work that way. All right. So let me just move on. Now I want to

00:43:41make sure I

00:43:42cover everything. Uh, yes. All right. So then I would read that, but I think I did it. Luke chapter

00:43:5422

00:43:54and verse 29, uh, that's, that's, I'm always pushing for time. I want to get as much in Luke 22

00:44:00and verse 29. Now it's very, again, very important because we're talking about the kingdom citizens

00:44:07rights. Okay. And now here's Jesus again, and I'm reading the NIV Jesus. He says, and I confer

00:44:18on you a kingdom just as my father conferred one on me. So look at how he goes through the

00:44:30order.

00:44:31He says, now what I'm doing for you is because of what my father has already done for me. The

00:44:36word

00:44:36confer is what to extend or to appoint authority. Look at that. He's conferring, he's appointing this

00:44:46authority of the kingdom onto you. Okay. He says, it also means to delegate authority onto one. Okay.

00:44:56So then everybody has their personal authority. We've taught that under the realm of authority,

00:45:02which is your legal right to exercise your, your, you know, your personal gifting and, you know,

00:45:09the very personality and the, who you are and how you are. That's wonderful. Uh, but then

00:45:16there's the divine authority, and this is the submission to the greater authority that God

00:45:22has conferred, as he said in Luke onto you, the kingdom. Now he would have had to do that or

00:45:29the

00:45:29kingdom could not be in you. And so again, my daily prayer is thy kingdom come in me and I

00:45:42will be done

00:45:43in me in earth as it is in heaven, because that makes it more of a reality that it's not

00:45:50just some

00:45:51words, but you are living this thing. You're born with personal, natural human authority. Okay. But

00:45:57divine God given authority that comes from God who is the, he is the authority. He is the author,

00:46:05the finisher. He is the authorization. Personal authority, uh, has got a function under the greater

00:46:11authority. And when we understand that, that's why even simple things, you acknowledge him in all your

00:46:18ways that he would direct your path. You want that authority working for your benefit on your daily

00:46:24life. God gave you personal authority as your legal area of dominion. Remember you have dominion.

00:46:32Okay. Let them have dominion. And so this is the, this is very important. God gave this.

00:46:39When God does something, it can, you can't undo what God has done. When he said, let them have

00:46:45dominion. Even he aligned himself with what he had authorized in you. So in other words, you align

00:46:54yourself with the dominion authority that, you know, a bird is authorized to fly. He can take off,

00:47:02and start flying. You're not authorized to fly. You jump off of something. That's not going to be

00:47:06pretty. Okay. And so you understand if you, if you do something that you're not authorized to do,

00:47:13I mean, it could kill you. Right. And so I understand how this authority thing works when

00:47:21you're talking about keys to the kingdom. So then you want to learn how to be who you are. This

00:47:29is what

00:47:29we spend so much time teaching you about your authority, your presence, how important your

00:47:36presence is. You know, so many are starting to be more and more conscious of it. We had to teach

00:47:41that

00:47:42over and over again, and we will continue so that people can become more conscious of their presence

00:47:48and how their presence is probably affecting more than 50% of your life and the people that are around

00:47:54you, the town that you live in, the place that you work at. All these areas are affected by your

00:48:00presence and you don't even realize it because you're not conscious enough of the power and the

00:48:06authority that you carry when you go from place to place. So you be yourself. And when you be in

00:48:12yourself, the more you be yourself, the more you're protecting your life, believe it or not.

00:48:17Every power gift of its ability, it needs authority to function. Your gifts, your power, all of that is

00:48:26under the authority of God Almighty. Okay. It makes you legal. It's, you know, but your power is to be

00:48:34submitted to the ultimate power, which is God Almighty. Authority really protects your power when you

00:48:44understand how authority works. So the author, authority, authorization, authenticity are all

00:48:52related. I'll say it again. Author, authority, authorization, authenticity are all related. This

00:49:01is how powerful authority is. So when the author gives you authority, then you are authorized to be

00:49:08authentic. So many of you remember, we said you have power with a legal right to use it.

00:49:14So authority is not power. Don't get them confused. Authority is not power. Power is the ability or the

00:49:22energy or the force, the enablement to do something. And people have power. You know, they have power

00:49:30gifts. They have power talents. That's good. Okay. But authority gives the right to use that and be

00:49:38effective with it. Okay. It's the permission. It's the release. It's also the responsibility. The Bible

00:49:45likens it onto the anointing. Okay. Anointing does not mean you are legal. Remember King Saul, he was

00:49:53anointed, but he was not legal. He was operating apart from the authority of God. He disobeyed. He did his

00:50:01own thing and he suffered the consequences of it. Okay. And so many are attracted to power. Ooh, this

00:50:08one is so powerful and oh, they were this and they were that. Because most really like power more than

00:50:17they do authority. In fact, many resist authority. Authority is power with a legal right to use it.

00:50:24Always remember that. That's, you know, it in a nutshell. All right. First Corinthians 3 and 21. First

00:50:29Corinthians 3. My time is really running out. First Corinthians 3.21. Therefore, let no one glory in

00:50:36men or in people or in leaders or titles. Now watch this. For all things are yours. You know,

00:50:48the people were boasting about who had baptized them. They were boasting about Apollos. They were

00:50:54boasting about Paul. And if you read that in Corinthians, Paul says, I thank my God. I didn't

00:50:59baptized any of you. That I didn't have anything to do with you because you're being really foolish.

00:51:05You're not even understanding that we came to empower you so you can be what you're supposed

00:51:10to do. And here you are, go over somebody, name dropping. That happens a lot in the body of Christ.

00:51:16You know, when you see somebody like someone who's powerful, okay, that's great. But what about you?

00:51:22You know, sometimes it's so much easier to focus on someone else's power or their, you know,

00:51:28success supposedly rather than to deal with what about yours? When are you going to come up to where

00:51:34you're supposed to be? No, because it's easier to gloat over. No, he says, don't be glorying in no

00:51:41person. Why? Because you got the same thing. All things are yours. And then he goes on and said,

00:51:48whether Paul, Apollos or Cephas or, or, or the world, okay. Or life or death or things present

00:51:56or things to come. You have all of, all are yours. In other words, they don't have anything that you

00:52:05don't have. They don't have anything. They're not anybody that you're not. Oh God, help the body of

00:52:11Christ to wake up. And if this would, would really, you know, become the conviction of people,

00:52:18there wouldn't be any jealousy. There wouldn't be any envy. There wouldn't be any competition

00:52:22and rivalries and all the things that take place in the body of Christ and in workplaces and all

00:52:29these things. When you realize that all things are mine, I can become anything God has. Why should I

00:52:37be concerned about what this one looks like or that one and it looks like they're this and they're bigger

00:52:43than they're higher. Don't even waste your time doing that. You know, Paul highlights, you know,

00:52:48they're boasting over various leaders. And he said, this is foolish. Why? Why? Because every spiritual

00:52:56resource is already available to you just as it is to them. In Christ, all are heirs. This boasting or

00:53:07name

00:53:07dropping is what I call it is cardinal. It's immature. Therefore, insecurity and comparism should not be

00:53:17seeing that as, as, as belonging. When you understand you belong to Christ, you already have,

00:53:27you know, you possess all these things, everything that you need, you already have it. So why are you

00:53:34making a big deal? I'll finish it up. Yes, I got time. Second Peter one and three, and I'm going

00:53:42to be done.

00:53:42Second Peter one and three, and I'm going to read verse four, two. He says, watch this now. According as

00:53:48his

00:53:49divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him

00:54:01that has called us to glory and virtue. So that glory means you can fully be who you are

00:54:10because that brings glory to God. When you are functioning in the way and the design, and that's

00:54:17what's coming up. We're going to talk about your design. It's a powerful, powerful teaching. It's

00:54:22going to really shine the light on those of you who, I mean, I know what it's like to come

00:54:27up feeling bad

00:54:28and low esteem and not good about yourself because it's very hard when people treat you that away

00:54:33after a while, you start to believe it, but we're going to, you're going to come out of that in

00:54:37Jesus

00:54:37name. Let me finish verse four of second Peter verse one. It says, whereby are given unto us, given

00:54:43unto us. This is past tense. It's already given exceeding great and precious promises that by these,

00:54:52you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through

00:54:59lust. Listen, that's a spirit of lust that causes people to, you know, lust after things. You don't ever

00:55:08have to lust after anything that you're willing to pay the cost to be it. It costs something. Nobody is

00:55:15going to arrive, you know, perfectly, perfume smelling, you know, perfectly and without going

00:55:23through. It takes something to be that. And people would rather, you know, fight and boast and be

00:55:30jealous and then simply do what it takes to be it for yourself. You know, let them be what they

00:55:36are

00:55:36wonderful. God bless you. Celebrate them, but also go for yourself. Be what God has made you to be. You

00:55:44have all everything that you need to be all that God has called you. You already have it. As I

00:55:52said

00:55:52before, your future is not ahead of you. It's inside of you. You have so many kingdom rights and we're

00:55:59just getting started. As a citizen, you're going to know you have a right to be healed. You have a

00:56:05right

00:56:05to be, uh, listen, uh, supplied all your needs according to his reach. That's your right. It's

00:56:13not, it has nothing to do with religion. And if you have a religious mindset, that's what's blocking

00:56:19your breakthrough. It's blocking your increase. It's blocking your healing because it has nothing

00:56:25to do with religion and it has nothing to do. It is between you and your relationship with the Lord.

00:56:31And as you turn onto the Lord and know that he is your source, he has authorized you, not only

00:56:37that

00:56:37you be healed, but you can heal others in Jesus name. In fact, many have to go through things

00:56:42so you can learn how to be a healer, learn how to be a deliverer. I mean, sometimes it takes

00:56:48that so

00:56:49you can understand what it takes to help people to get their breakthroughs. Just like it took you

00:56:54father in the name of Jesus. I thank you for your word. Thank you for this time. I thank you

00:56:59for the

00:56:59power. I believe it's flowing through this live stream right now in Jesus mighty name that you are

00:57:06empowering your people that right now, even their hands are feeling warm, like liquid fires flowing

00:57:12through them, preparing them for the greatness that they are coming into, preparing them for the lives

00:57:18that they are about to encounter and change forever. Thank you, father God, that your kingdom has come.

00:57:25Your will will be done in us in earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name, God bless you.

00:57:32I love you with

00:57:33the love of the Lord. I believe great things are coming out of you because that's what you're here

00:57:38for. That's what God has assigned unto you and his word will not return unto him void. Everything

00:57:46that you've gone through, not one bit of it is going to be wasted. God is going to use it

00:57:50to authorize you

00:57:52to do great things in Jesus name. I call it done and it is so in Jesus name. God bless

00:57:58you. We'll see you next time.
