12:01And so,
12:02So,
17:59So,
19:41And so,
20:15And so,
21:54And so,
21:56And so,
22:37And so,
22:40And so,
23:11So,
23:17And so,
24:08And so,
24:14And so,
24:15And so,
24:16And so,
24:30And so,
24:41And so,
24:42And so,
24:43And so,
24:45And so,
24:46And so,
25:08And so,
25:10And so,
25:13And so,
25:15And so,
25:23This is why I don't think we have the kind of proof we should be having.
25:27You know, people have this religious, how can I say it, this routine, this pattern that has just been, you
25:38know, so implemented in us until right now when you tell people, look, these signs shall follow them.
25:46This is not just certain people.
25:48If you're a believer, you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you really shouldn't have to wait for someone to
25:55come lay hands on you.
25:56I mean, you don't even have to go to a church service.
26:00He said the kingdom of God is in you.
26:02Well, the kingdom of God represents his righteousness, your right standing with him.
26:08And righteousness also means, you know, doing, you know, the righteousness of God is actually in right standing and also
26:18doing things the way he would do things, which that's what he would tell us over and over in the
26:24scriptures is how these things are to be done.
26:27And so, again, so much religiosity and really when God gave me this dream and showed me, it was terrifying
26:41what a spirit of religion really looks like.
26:44I began to research and look up some more Hebrew commentaries, go back to early first century, the early church,
26:52how this thing came to be so prevalent, you know, in the body of Christ.
26:57And this is how the adversary works.
27:00And after when I began to see, I said, oh, wow, this is no surprise why it's such a dominating
27:06spirit.
27:07OK, but Jesus even told us how to deal with that.
27:12And we will get to that as we go, because, again, the Bible is not a religious book.
27:18If anything, it exposes the spirit of religion and religion as we see it now.
27:26It consists of unending acts of trying to appease God while God is not he's not a religion, nor can
27:36he be appeased by any kind of religion.
27:39So when he was saying seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, you know, God's righteousness or his
27:48way of doing things, that is what I call the KCOC, the kingdom code of conduct, how you are to
27:55conduct yourself.
27:56If you are the righteousness of God and we went through that, you know, that scripture that you are the
28:01righteousness of God.
28:03He became sin so we could become the righteousness of God so that we would know how to do things
28:09the way he does things.
28:10And we know all the things that he did. And we're coming up very short.
28:16And so but he said, showed us, told us how to do these things.
28:20So I say, people of God, let's dive in. Let us dive in as deep as we can go and
28:26let us see where we fall short so we can rise up and come up to the mark of the
28:32prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus.
28:34And just get it out of your mind that the Bible is some kind of religious book, because it is
28:41not.
28:42John seven and thirty eight. Again, this is becoming one of my favorite scriptures.
28:48It says, you know, John seven, chapter seven, verse thirty eight says he that believes on me.
28:54This is Jesus. He that believes on me, as the scripture says, OK, as the scripture has said, out of
29:03his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
29:06Living water represents the things that make for living a Zoe, a God like life.
29:13OK, that's, you know, it in a nutshell and the shortest definition that I can give you in terms of
29:19living water flowing out belly represents the innermost parts of your being.
29:25And out of that becomes the life, not just for you, but for all those around you and wherever you
29:32go, that that life is for you as you hold fast to the scriptures.
29:39As Jesus has said them seeking the kingdom of God, it's not just about praying, you know, hours and hours
29:47and hours.
29:49It's not about Jesus's return. OK, to the earth. It's not about attending church.
29:55It's not about, you know, all the things, the religious activities that we acquaint to the kingdom.
30:01And let's get really serious about, you know, fulfilling what was said.
30:07Prove it. Glory to God. So we need to define the concept of what the kingdom of God really is.
30:15What is let's start. Let's break it down. First, let's begin with the word kingdom.
30:20OK, kingdom is a compound word. It's king and then dumb.
30:26This represents a king and his domain or dominion kingdom is the king and his dominions compound word.
30:38It's not a metaphor of something that is spiritual and never will manifest or never to be seen.
30:44It is absolutely, you know, something that Jesus was explaining to us.
30:49So it's not a metaphor. Some believe that's just a metaphor that it's not a real kingdom, even when, you
30:55know,
30:56revelations talks about, you know, Jerusalem, the kingdom of God coming down to the earth.
31:02But so I'm not even going to get into all of that for now. You know, it's an actual kingdom.
31:07OK, King Jesus, King Jesus, Jesus Christ and his king's domain or dominion.
31:16OK, which is to have the dominance forever and ever over all things in the earth.
31:23We have the king as sovereign is over our life when we become born again into the royal family of
31:36the kingdom of God,
31:38of Christ Jesus and his kingdom. When we became born again through the precious blood of Jesus,
31:44you have become adopted into the royal family. You are royalty.
31:50That's why we must be born again. You don't just get into royalty because you want to.
31:55That's what he was explaining to Nicodemus. He says, look what they were in the Roman Empire, which was a
32:00major kingdom.
32:01It was one of the largest of the world at that time. It was the largest at that time.
32:07And so Nicodemus, he didn't quite understand the spiritual significance of it.
32:12And so, you know, Jesus was explaining it to him.
32:14He says, you being a master teacher, do you not know these things?
32:18And he's like, well, how do I get born again and go back into my mother's room?
32:22In other words, this is not a natural thing. This is something supernatural that eventually will manifest.
32:29But right now it needs to manifest through those whom he has chosen as representatives in the earthly realm.
32:38So we've been chosen to bring what is in heaven into this earthly realm, representing the kingdom, the governmenting rules
32:47of God.
32:48And so that's what being born again through the blood of Jesus, you're adopted into the royal family.
32:54Let me read Romans. I'll read the King James version.
32:59OK, and then I want to read the Passion Translation because it's very interesting.
33:05Romans 8 and verse 15.
33:09First, I'll read the Amplified.
33:11And then I want to read the Passion Translation.
33:16He says, for the spirit which you have now received is not a spirit of slavery to put you once
33:23more in bondage to fear.
33:24But you have received the spirit of adoption, the spirit that produces sonship.
33:31Again, it's not gender. It's sonship.
33:35It's an inheritance.
33:36In this, it says, in the list of which we cry, Abba, Father.
33:42OK, many of you, I'm sure, are familiar somewhat with that scripture, right?
33:45And so look at the translation now, the Passion Translation.
33:49It says, and you did not receive the spirit of religious duty leading you back into the fear of never
33:59being good enough.
34:00But you have received the spirit of full acceptance and folding you into the family of God.
34:09And you will never feel orphaned or as he rises up within you, our spirits join him in saying the
34:20words of the tender affection, beloved Father, or again, Abba, Father.
34:25So understand this right away.
34:27He's saying this is not a religious thing.
34:29This is the supernatural realm of God manifesting to us in the earth.
34:34And it is powerful and it will come into its fullness as we approach the word in its fullness and
34:42not, you know, try and substitute or take from what has been said.
34:46So the first thing, this is why I said it's very easy for us, because what?
34:50The first thing to seek the kingdom of God is what?
34:54Get the king.
34:55You got to get the king.
34:57Because why?
34:58Watch this now.
34:59Why?
34:59Because the center of a kingdom is a person, not a religion.
35:08It's not a religious organization.
35:11You know, in Matthew 11 and 28, this is why Jesus, again, he cries out to them, you know, come
35:19on to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden.
35:22I will give you rest.
35:24Take my yoke upon you.
35:25And what learn of me, learn about your king so that you'll understand what he's saying as you have relationship.
35:34And those who you have a relationship with the Lord already, this is flowing right through you already because you
35:40already have that relationship.
35:42You already.
35:43So what he says and speaks, you don't have a hard time with it because you're already in relationship.
35:49It's those who are not in relationship, those who are, again, consumed with religiosity and religious activities.
35:57It will be difficult.
35:59And, again, as the scriptures say, they don't come into it because, you know, they're not seeking or pursuing it.
36:07They're caught up in religion.
36:09So the king is the source of the kingdom.
36:12Get that in your spirit.
36:14That's why we get him first.
36:16You know, by his very birth, his own birthright.
36:18By God, the father himself causes him to be exactly what he is.
36:24And we come into that when we're born again.
36:27Thank God.
36:28So as a question or an example so that people can really.
36:33What do you do to be an Italian?
36:37What do you do to be a Jamaican?
36:40What do you do to be an American?
36:43You know, do you are you be or you become.
36:49OK, or you just simply be it.
36:52It's not something you do or religion is something you do.
36:56And people don't understand that, that the kingdom of God is not it's not a doing.
37:02It's a being.
37:03You know, you be what?
37:05Be a citizen.
37:07You know, not a member.
37:09OK, citizenship makes membership irrelevant.
37:13And we make more of membership in a church or building that's called a church because that's really not the
37:19church.
37:20We make more of that than the actual citizenship because the teaching is very lacking, very rare.
37:27You can't be a member of a country, you know, as a member in a religion, you do a bunch
37:33of rituals, as we said before, ceremonies to appease God, you know, routines.
37:39When you look at the religions of today, oh, my goodness, they have so much formalities and so much ceremonialism.
37:47It's like, really, at what point?
37:50What does that do?
37:51What does it mean?
37:52What does it produce?
37:54Religion can't produce anything because it has no power.
37:58And so all the rituals and the ceremonial, the routine, you know, citizenship.
38:04Listen, you don't do holy.
38:07It says be holy.
38:09OK, your king has already assigned that upon you.
38:14It's already been laid upon you.
38:16And so it's too difficult to seek something that you don't understand or you don't know how to seek it.
38:24And all this religiosity has blocked and blinded the minds of so many that they don't even care to seek
38:31anymore.
38:31They don't even ask the question, what is the kingdom?
38:33How do you seek it?
38:35What's it all about?
38:36And so it, you know, consequently is not taught.
38:39And that's why I say you have to ask questions, you know, on this summer, as we go through and
38:46prepare for September classes, we want you to, you know, send email us, get your questions out there.
38:53You know, do what you have to do, because this has got to be something that you can prove not
38:59only to yourself, but to others who don't have a clue.
39:02And we want to make sure we know exactly how to bring this thing to fruition.
39:08OK, because it's it's it's really something that this is listen.
39:13This was his.
39:15Priority to us and God would not leave us wandering around, wondering how to do what he commanded us to
39:23do.
39:24And, you know, when he said, seek first, I'm going to show you over and over again how he absolutely
39:30explained it.
39:31But see, that's why I said those who hear and don't get it, those who see and don't get it
39:37because they don't they don't seek it.
39:40And if you don't seek it, God, I don't give you something you don't care about.
39:42You don't want.
39:43He said, seek first the kingdom.
39:45This is God's priority, not something to guess about.
39:49That wouldn't be good.
39:50But God's priority will teach you where to put your time and your energy and your efforts.
39:57And you'll have proof.
39:59You'll have results.
40:00You'll have evidence because that's the way it shall come to pass.
40:05It has to happen because God can't lie.
40:07And so if this is what he said, then we should be on it and and stay on it until
40:13it absolutely manifests itself.
40:16All right. So when you know what to do, then, you know, you're not wasting your time and energy and
40:26efforts.
40:26And we're putting forth all these efforts and we're doing everything that we know to do and only to have
40:32what nothing to show for it.
40:34I don't know about you, but that just wore me out.
40:37I'm like, I don't want to keep doing something that's wearing me out.
40:40And I have nothing to show for it.
40:42OK, it's just too difficult to keep doing that.
40:45And this is why people stop pursuing.
40:49Because they don't understand it.
40:51Jesus preached and he taught.
40:55Simply those one message.
40:57Again, I encourage you to examine the scriptures for yourself.
41:02Read it over and over again, because the people that he was not dealing with concerning kingdom,
41:08they were the religious people and he dealt with them and you read and see exactly how he dealt with
41:14them.
41:14And what was he doing?
41:16Exposing these spirits of religion.
41:19We'll get into it as we go.
41:22Now, himself, he introduced the Mahit first, you know, came on the scene after John.
41:28John, again, was the forerunner.
41:30And this is what makes it, you know, it seals it.
41:33It's in the mouth of two witnesses, two or three.
41:36The Holy Spirit is a third witness.
41:39And then you've got John and then you've got Jesus.
41:42And they're making it very clear.
41:43And in Matthew chapter four and verse 17, let's go to Matthew chapter four and 17.
41:50Again, he himself introduced it.
41:52Now, if ever was a time to introduce Christianity, as so many are saying that he was really the founder
42:02of Christianity,
42:03that is the far is fetched statement that anyone could.
42:08That is so not what Jesus was doing at all.
42:12Matthew 4 is very clear, verse 17, of what he was doing.
42:16He says, from that time, Jesus, from that time forward, from that time on, Jesus began to preach and say,
42:24repent.
42:25In other words, turn from all this religious, you know, practices and formalities and ceremonialism.
42:32Because when you see certain religions, they are filled with, you know, and I just sit and ask, okay, what
42:37is that for?
42:38You know, what does that actually do?
42:41It's really interesting to see all the formalities.
42:45And again, this seeking to appease God.
42:50And God is never appeased by religion.
42:55He comes against religion.
42:57Glory to God.
42:59All right.
43:03I'll finish.
43:04It says, let me just read it again.
43:05It says, from that time forward, Jesus began to preach, saying, repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
43:11Or has arrived.
43:12And when he began his message, it began right then.
43:16In that time, his ministry began and walked through that right up until the end.
43:20All right.
43:21His message on the earth was about the kingdom.
43:24Throughout his ministry, this was the only message that he actually taught or preached.
43:30When you see him preaching or teaching, no matter what the subject is, he's going to always wind up going
43:35back to the realm of kingdom.
43:36Matthew chapter 13, verses 3 through 9 says this.
43:41Jesus spoke.
43:42This is the, you know, where he spoke about the sower.
43:45Now, we did walk through this before.
43:46And you can go back and watch that where we looked at the different grounds, which represent different people and
43:52how they respond to the message of the kingdom.
43:54And so a parable that he would liken onto the likeness of the kingdom.
44:01This is very clear.
44:03You know, this is why we can't, you know, act as though, you know, we don't have a clue because
44:08he's explaining it.
44:10And if you go ahead and get into it, allow yourself to really be consumed by the message of the
44:17kingdom rather than the, you know, spirits of religion, you're going to see some serious results.
44:23So he would liken it, you know, the kingdom was likened onto when we give these parables.
44:30It deals with planting.
44:31It deals with receiving and growing.
44:35Planting, receiving and growing.
44:37For as long as the earth is, it's seed, time, and harvest.
44:40All of these combine and come together.
44:42And he could use them because everybody was familiar with that, those teachings.
44:47Verse 10 of that same Matthew 13 says, the disciples, what they do, they came and said, why do you
44:54speak to the people in parables?
44:55Okay.
44:56And Jesus answered and said, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries or the secrets of the
45:05kingdom of heaven.
45:05But to them, it is not given.
45:10So how much clearer can it be?
45:12In other words, I want you who really want this message to know that there is something so wonderful for
45:20you to discover, but you're going to have to seek for it.
45:24Seek it out.
45:25It's not something that's going to, you know, just jump on you.
45:30You have to seek after it because then you'll understand and it will become very valuable to you.
45:36What you value is what you go after.
45:38And when you think about it, let's be honest, how we valued the, you know, religion, you know, what it
45:46is.
45:47But when you think about, look at all the sacrifices and the things that we did concerning, you know, our
45:53religious activities.
45:54Just, you know, just, you know, just, just go there because the honest truth is we put a lot of
46:00effort, you know, in, in a whole lot of religious activities and had no proof, nothing to really show for
46:09it.
46:09And if it's just me, then I'm just speaking for myself, but so be it.
46:12All right.
46:13And so he says, this is for you, you know, for those who I have chosen, I have some deep
46:19places for them to go.
46:21Okay.
46:22But, but, you know, they have to want it.
46:27Says it's not given to them.
46:29It's not for them.
46:30Verse 12 says for whoever has now watch this.
46:32That's why I say you'll never run out of a kingdom message.
46:37Never.
46:37He says for whoever has to them shall be given.
46:42Whoever gets this message of the kingdom, what to them shall be given and they shall have more abundance.
46:50So the more you seek it, the more he's going to give you, the more you seek it, the more
46:54he's going to give you.
46:56But he says, whoever has not, then what from them will be taken away.
47:01Even that, that they have.
47:05This is where all these other messages come from.
47:08They got to kind of seek and, you know, God is merciful.
47:11He's good.
47:11He gives good thoughts and you got the Holy Spirit.
47:14You're going to have some revelation and, you know, that that's good.
47:19But where is the teaching and the message that Jesus, like I said, thank God for the teaching of Jesus
47:27and the name of Jesus.
47:28I will continue my hats off to any and everyone because that was the king.
47:33We had to get the king first and you get the king.
47:36Then you move into the kingdom.
47:38And so thank God for that.
47:40But he's saying those who, you know, don't have this understanding of the kingdom, then what little bit they do,
47:45they lose it.
47:46And then they never really go after it again because they no longer have the interest.
47:51They don't, it's, they're no longer interest rested in it.
47:54He says, but, but watch this, those who, who have what?
47:57Those who have the knowledge of the mysteries of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven will be given more
48:06and will be given an abundance of these mysteries and of these secrets that have not yet been manifest.
48:15Yes, foolish for us to think we have exhausted the ocean, oceans of mysteries and secrets and revelation that he
48:26has for us.
48:27Foolish of us to think that we have exhausted all these areas when we haven't even got our feet wet.
48:34We haven't even in the least bit, you know, really dived into, but we are now, we're going to go
48:41deep and expect.
48:45To go even deeper, because the more you seek it, the more he's going to give.
48:50There's so much to learn, people of God, and to be learned about these mysteries and the secrets of the
48:58kingdom.
48:59There's a lifetime of knowledge to learn.
49:02There's a lifetime of kingdom messages that will come as we continue to seek.
49:07You'll never run out of kingdom messages, because why?
49:10The more, this is what I'm experiencing, because I always wondered, how do you just stay on this one subject
49:16and just, you know, that was my, you know, limited thinking.
49:21And then I began to realize that, okay, I see it.
49:25He's saying the more you seek after it, the more I'm going to give you.
49:30And then you seek some more, I'm going to give you more.
49:32You're going to have such an abundance until you'll be, you know, exploding with revelation knowledge.
49:39People will be drawn to you because God is going to draw people to this kingdom message, not to all
49:45this religiosity.
49:46Like I said before, I don't believe the problem is God.
49:50I believe people want God, but they don't want all this religious stuff that's going on that has taken over.
49:57It's global.
49:58It is a chief spirit, a chief principality that keeps people from even recognizing the message of the kingdom that
50:06Jesus preached over and over again.
50:09Praise God.
50:10So, yes, there's so much more.
50:12The more you desire and seek and pursue, the more he will give you.
50:17The more you seek, the more you get.
50:21It never runs out.
50:24It's always more.
50:26Now, I want to read Matthew 13 and 11.
50:29Praise God.
50:30And I want to read the passion translation from what I just now read, okay?
50:36He says, listen, you've been given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden mysteries of the realm of heaven's
50:50kingdom.
50:52But they have not.
50:54For everyone who listens with an open heart, open mind, will receive progressively, look at that, more revelation until they
51:08have more than enough.
51:11But those who don't listen with an open, teachable heart, even the understanding that they think they have will be
51:22taken from them.
51:23Verse 13, that's why I teach the people using parables because they think they're looking for truth.
51:34Yet, because their hearts are unteachable, they never discover it.
51:42Although they will listen, they listen to me, is what he's saying, but they never fully perceive the message that
51:53I speak concerning the kingdom.
51:55That is so good.
51:57Look at what he's trying to tell us, that you have, the half has not been told.
52:03That when you get serious and start seeking the kingdom, and like I said, it's not something that, you know,
52:11you can be exhausted.
52:12You can go on and on, and that's what I'm experiencing.
52:15The more I deal with it, the more it floods my soul.
52:18The more it comes in.
52:19I've been really dealing with, you know, this realm of the enemy.
52:22I guess that's my marking for spiritual warfare.
52:24And that this is the only message that the scripture says immediately comes after it.
52:30And when I say that, I mean, this is why the distraction, an attack is a distraction.
52:35A distraction is an attack.
52:37And it can throw you off.
52:40I mean, just recently, I've been totally, totally thrown off.
52:45And just saying, oh, my goodness.
52:47And I could feel myself being caught up in it, but then right away I can identify, okay, it's another
52:52distraction.
52:53This enemy, this devil does not want this message because he knows when people really get this message of the
52:59kingdom that they are gone.
53:01They will soar in ways that they never have, and he can't ever touch them, you know, can't touch them.
53:08He can't, and he won't be able to, and this is why he does whatever he can.
53:12But I also found out that in the midst of his attack, God is right there.
53:17He is right there fixing things.
53:20And by the time I get to it, God has already cleared the way.
53:23It's like, keep going, keep going.
53:25Don't stop now.
53:26It's just another distraction, just another foolishness, some stupidity that the enemy is trying to, he's trying to snatch it
53:34away.
53:34He doesn't want you to get it because the purpose of God is in you.
53:38And when you pursue his kingdom, nothing can stop your purpose.
53:41You begin to move into areas that you've never been before, doors that were once closed will open.
53:47You'll begin to find yourself not so intense and worried about finances.
53:52Your body will be healed, and you'll wonder, wow, I don't even feel that pain anymore.
53:57I'm just experiencing that about a week ago.
53:59And because I thought I had pulled the muscle, done something on, you know, treadmill when I'd be working out
54:04and so-and-so,
54:04and I said, oh, wow, this is really going to throw me off for a few days.
54:08And then I caught myself, stop saying it.
54:10Don't say that.
54:11I said, Lord, I thank you for healing.
54:13I thank you that you heal this leg in Jesus' name.
54:15And I said, you know, because the kingdom has arrived, and it's in me, and it does not accept anything
54:22that doesn't come from the heavenly realm of God.
54:25Do you know the next day I was right back on that treadmill going for it, doing just fine.
54:30Listen, this is the word of God.
54:32I got to stop now.
54:33But listen, we're going to come back Sunday, and we're going to explore some of these mysteries,
54:39some of these secrets that are hidden in the kingdom.
54:42And that's why I said you got to seek it if you want it.
54:44So don't miss anything because this is for you.
54:48This is why God brought you this far.
54:50You come this far by faith.
54:52Let's get it all.
54:54Let's get everything that we came for in Jesus' name.
54:57Spirit of the living God, I thank you.
54:59Thank you for your kingdom.
55:01Thank you for your word.
55:02Thank you for this powerful message.
55:04It will absolutely begin to spread glory to God, and your anointing will be upon us like never before.
55:11And no matter what distraction or attack the enemy throws at us, you will be right there to lead us
55:17through it.
55:18And we thank you in advance.
55:20We call all these things done in Jesus' name, as it is so.
55:23God bless you.
55:24We'll see you Sunday morning.
55:26Don't miss a thing.
55:27God bless.
