06:44father's day
06:45and it goes on to simply many are familiar with it so you can follow along blessed is the man
06:51that
06:51walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the way of sinners nor sits in the seat
06:58of the
06:59scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord and in his law does he meditate day and
07:09night he shall
07:10be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth his fruit in his season his leaf
07:19also
07:20shall not wither and whatsoever he does shall prosper the ungodly or not so but are like the
07:30chafe the chafe uh which the wind drives away therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment
07:42nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous for the lord knows the way of the righteous
07:50but the way of the ungodly shall perish i say whatsoever you do men of god i pray that it
07:59will
07:59prosper you that it will complement you and bless you and i say to all the women of god who
08:06have
08:06sons and brothers and fathers cover those men of god with the prayer and blood of jesus do that on
08:14i do it daily and i pray that you would do it too but for now we say a blessed
08:20and prosperous and very
08:22happy father's day to each and every one of the men of god and i hope those of you will
08:27just uh you know
08:28don't take it for granted thank god for them do something special in jesus name all right yes we
08:35are in prove it because that's what the word of god is here to show forth and to magnify itself
08:41in our lives and so we are looking forward to our time as we continue in this word on site
08:48shepherds
08:48thank you thank you on site shepherd evangelist melinda on site shepherd evangelist stephanie
08:55pastor dorothy gatlin and of course joey i told you you're in there you're right in there
09:00i just keep so uh you know the thoughts of how you just went out looking for young people during
09:06covet and getting them back to you know classes you know until it was on the news i mean the
09:12news
09:13had to cover it and i'm like whoa so yes i i have to add you to that list of
09:19unsight shepherds and i
09:21bless you and all of those all of you you're all so faithful listen we are in this together and
09:27i pray
09:27that you will continue to commit yourself keep god first no matter what and always always know that his
09:35word is righteous it is right it is the way to do things i encourage you especially during the summer
09:42as i said uh you know continue to support and give to the ministry so that we can continue and
09:48not be
09:48distracted but go forth and give you this word that will change your life forever let's pray father in
09:55the name of jesus we thank you for this wonderful opportunity this beautiful day and god we thank you
10:01for all the wonderful fathers that are in our lives and that have made such an impact we thank you
10:07for
10:07them lord we bless them and we cover them with the precious blood of jesus and now god bring forth
10:13your
10:13word with power and demonstration in jesus name amen and amen all right so then i want to pick up
10:20from
10:21romans 8 15 i read the translation of called the passion translation i think it's very wonderful
10:27in the way that it uses the words that are really appropriate for kingdom uh understanding of of what
10:36god has said and not what the world has said and so let me just just quickly review that and
10:43then we'll
10:44continue improve it because that's what the word of god it will prove itself and we need to believe on
10:51him
10:51as the scripture said romans 8 chapter 8 and verse 15 says and this is the you know passion translation
11:00it says and did and you did not receive the spirit of religious duty leading you back into the fear
11:10of never being good enough but you have received the spirit of full acceptance and folding you into the family
11:20of
11:20god and you will never feel orphaned for as he rises up within us our spirits join him in saying
11:30the words
11:32of tender affection beloved father abba father and so again being that it is father's day uh it's one
11:43thing for sure those of us who are natural fathers have gone on to glory we have our heavenly father
11:49who's
11:50with us always he never leaves he never forsakes and i encourage you to embrace your father your beloved
11:58father all right and so we have he is the king of kings he is the lord of lords and
12:05we are in
12:06master class we say welcome to this master class of prove it one of the things i know for sure
12:13that if you
12:14want something different you definitely will need to do something different you will not get something
12:19different doing the exact same thing that you've been doing all along and as i've said many times
12:25before to do something and never see the results uh to continue you know and and not ever changing but
12:33thinking things are going it just it doesn't even add up so again when you became born again you came
12:40into
12:41the royal family of our lord and savior jesus christ and there are just some things we have to shake
12:46off
12:47just shake it off of you because religion has been such a damaging spirit and most again just to get
12:56people to identify it is definitely a challenge and a message that must be preached so we said of course
13:03the first thing in seeking the kingdom in seeking the kingdom you first get the king and that's why this
13:09should be not so difficult for us because we have the king we understand that we needed to have this
13:18wonderful realm of god to just take over our life it's something we need thank god for it and that's
13:26why
13:26i continue to say thank god for everyone who has preached the name of jesus who has preached the blood
13:32of
13:33jesus who has taught and helped people to come into this realm called kingdom but now we have to preach
13:39what jesus preached and that is the kingdom of god uh first of all in order to seek the kingdom
13:46that's why
13:47we said it before you have to get the king seek the king because the center of a kingdom is
13:55a person not a
13:56religion the center of a kingdom the center of a kingdom is the person of our lord and savior jesus
14:02christ he is the king of kings again the scripture says lift up your head oh ye gates i say
14:10these gates
14:11have heads lift up your heads and then the king of glory shall come in who is this king of
14:21glory he is the
14:22lord god almighty the lord god almighty in battle and i believe he has sent forth ministering angels
14:30that are fighting for you that are fighting for your peace that are fighting so that you get the
14:37revelation knowledge of his kingdom right now they are warring in the heavenlies for your well-being so
14:45that you can come into yes as you really commit to kingdom you're going to get some distractions
14:52some attacks i've been getting it all along it took me a couple of minutes to get it but i
14:57realized
14:58okay then this is exactly what the enemy does he comes immediately this is the only message that he
15:04comes immediately after especially when you start getting it when the revelation starts you know
15:11allowing the eyes of your understanding to be enlightened yes then it comes to try to get you off track
15:17again but as we said before stay the course stay the course you've got the king now allow him to
15:26lead
15:27you despite of the distractions right into the realm of kingdom so that you might reap all the benefits
15:34okay forget not his benefits because they are there and you'll come into them but you gotta stay
15:41the course and watch him prove it glory to god he will prove it again i read you the scripture
15:49where
15:49he said look come on to me jesus said this again most turn it into religious all to call and
15:56so on and so
15:57forth well that's wonderful but he's really letting you know you need to learn of me you need to learn
16:02what it
16:03takes to walk with me to be in my realm to be in the royalty of the only one again
16:10you get all these
16:11religions and they all claim to be many of them claim to be christianity but remember they're all
16:18religions and jesus never came to establish a religion he just did not that was not his agenda
16:26it was very clear in the scriptures when he said i must preach this message of the gospel of the
16:33kingdom it was very specific all right and so i want to pick up now and continue in this master
16:40class
16:41prove it because the proof is there and you will experience it you will have it things will begin to
16:48turn around but i believe it's not just an attack but it's also a test to see if you can
16:55stay
16:56focus and stay step be steadfast and unmovable all right as we just read for the men of god
17:04planted you know by the rivers of living water all right so i pick up at matthew chapter 13 and
17:11verse
17:1111 again the um passion translation i think is very inspiring and encouraging and matthew 13 and verse 11
17:22says you've been giving the intimate experience of insight into the hidden mysteries of the realm
17:32of heaven's kingdom this is when jesus said it's not for them okay why are teaching parables because it is
17:39not for them it is this is for you okay and so i like the way the passion translation describes
17:47what jesus is
17:48saying because as i said the last time we were together i want to start looking at some of the
17:53mysteries they're you know the secrets they're right there hidden in plain sight but still we didn't see
18:02them the way uh they've been given so we want to take our time and walk through it i want
18:07you to see
18:08what is there right now for you as you continue to focus on kingdom and ask the lord to deliver
18:17you from
18:17every evil work of religious duties as it says in timothy all right matthew 13 11 you've been you've been
18:27given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden mysteries of the realm of heaven's kingdom
18:38but they have not for everyone who listens with an open heart or open mind will receive progressively
18:49more revelation until they have more than enough that's what's coming your way but those who don't listen
18:59with an open teachable heart even the understanding that they think they have will be taken from them
19:11verse 13 that's why i teach the people using parables because they think they're looking for truth
19:23yet because their hearts are unteachable they never discover it although they will listen to me
19:33they will never fully perceive or understand the message i speak look at how clear that jesus is being in
19:46his
19:47his explanation and his uh helping that his disciples or followers uh to understand what he is bringing
19:55again not anything religious he's bringing the realm of the kingdom of heaven now if you pursue it
20:07it will open unto you that's why i say this message you can never run out of it out because
20:14my thinking
20:15was how do you i mean dr miles monroe the late great man of god one of the greatest teachers
20:21of
20:21kingdom ever i used to wonder how does he do this over and over again for years that's all he
20:28really
20:29i mean he started out with you know a lot of wisdom and a lot of beautiful beautiful messages but
20:36even
20:36he said that you know he really would have spent far more time preaching kingdom had he understood
20:43it in the light that he had came into so it's a message that will never get old you'll never
20:49run
20:49out of revelation how could we think of it this is god almighty how could you and so that's why
20:55i
20:55thought it was so wonderful because he says look the more you seek it the more i'm going to give
21:00you
21:00you you know we're not just talking word and revelation knowledge but guess what your life is
21:06going to be cared for he becomes responsible oh we got some good stuff we want to share today so
21:11let's
21:11let's keep moving all right uh so god's motives are pure that's one thing we must remember so so he'll
21:19he
21:19will never show you what you don't care about and don't look to receive that's why i don't fuss with
21:25people about it i'm not going to deal with those who are not interested especially those who think
21:30they already know because so many have heard the you know the word kingdom it's been tossed around
21:35so much and so the minute you say it oh there's you know yeah they don't even realize in their
21:42subconscious mind they just shut it down because they think they already know it as i said we started
21:46out before people who think they already know are not even going to listen and this is the the problem
21:53because when you just shut that down then a little bit that you think you do know as we just
21:58read
21:59you lose that as well because you're not really receiving it and i found that sometimes people
22:05who think they already know they're so busy resisting they never receive and this is what
22:10happened with the religious rulers the scribes and the pharisees again the religious rulers that jesus
22:16always came against all of his confrontations all of his opposition were the religious rulers they were so
22:25busy resisting him that they could not receive what he was bringing to them for their own benefit
22:32and betterment all right and so again what you what you don't care about don't worry he will not bother
22:38you for it but when you get serious and begin to pursue and seek after it then the message of
22:44the
22:44kingdom of heaven becomes very valuable see and jesus you know he knows it's too valuable to waste on
22:52those who don't understand its value they'll mess over something that is more and greater than
22:59anything else in the earth and they don't really care to seek after it so he's not going to really
23:04bother with them but but but then guess what whatever they do have it will be taken the enemy will
23:11come and
23:11make sure that they stay off course off track and again i don't believe you know people necessarily
23:17going to miss heaven uh because i do believe the scripture as you confess you call on the lord you
23:22shall be saved i do believe that but the life that you deserve and are supposed to have here in
23:28the
23:28earth will be missed and that's what many of us have experienced that's why we're watching this we're
23:34we're learning we're seeking we're pursuing because we want our life to be full you know i was really
23:40zeroing in on the scriptures and as you know when jesus said witness he said be a witness you know
23:47he never actually uh talked about so much of you know when he says going through the world go out
23:53through the world it was what you are to be you know but religion turns it into something that you
23:58do
23:58rather than something that you be and that's why i said people are so busy going to church that they
24:04forgot that they are the church god is not coming for a building okay and and not necessarily a
24:11building full of people so to speak if they are not being and having the kind of relationship whereas
24:16they know him he knows them then that's that's a problem let's take a look now at matthew 13 and
24:22verse 16 matthew chapter 13 and i'm still traveling in those same scriptures he says but watch this now
24:28because this is so important what he says he says blessed are you your eyes for they see blessed are
24:38you because your eyes they see and your ears they hear so that's blessed and that word blessed what a
24:46definition it is empowered to prosper and empowered to go forth that word blessed says a whole lot of
24:51things uh and verse 17 says for surely i say unto you that many prophets and righteous men these are
25:01the
25:01old patriarchs that went before us and prophesized that many of them they desire to see those things
25:07which you see and have not seen them they desire to hear those things which you're hearing and have
25:15not heard them enough they prophesized of it they spoke of it you go through all the prophets
25:25of the old
25:25testament and they isaiah the eagle-eyed prophet one of them prophesized the very coming of christ
25:30uh you could go through each one of them um malachi said he will come you know and suddenly he
25:36will
25:36come and so but they didn't get to actually see it or experience okay so he's telling them how blessed
25:42they are what a blessing it is these old patriots that you know who who were they were they were
25:48in
25:49right standing with god they did not get to see or hear the message of mysteries of the kingdom of
25:55god the secrets that are that he was revealing to to the disciple and to us okay and so you
26:03and i are
26:04here to receive the most important revelation of our generation people of god the mysteries the
26:10secrets of of the kingdom of god we will get to see that and we're gonna you know reveal some
26:16of them
26:16as we go hebrews chapter 11 and verse 10 deals with these uh you know patriots the patriots of old
26:23you know by faith it says they believed you know for for for he looked he who who abraham abraham
26:31isaac
26:32jacob they all again by faith they were looking it says for they looked for a city
26:40which had its foundations whose builder and maker is god so again i emphasize that heaven is not
26:48some you know just oblivious kind of floating around it is a city it's a country it is a place
26:56where god
26:57dwells and it's where we return on to him okay when we leave this natural life but while we're here
27:05this is why i said we're we're not trying to be anxious like religious folk to get out of here
27:11because that's why god placed us here so that we can be manifest not all the doing but to be
27:20it to
27:21manifest his kingdom in earth as it is in heaven all right and so the number one opposition
27:29uh and opposition the opposing forces and i mean arrogantly and aggressively and blatantly
27:37you know that this is what came against the message of the kingdom and it's just as difficult today
27:44all right it it this was what the scribes and the pharisees well what were they who they were religious
27:51people they were evil they were of the devil jesus told them face to face that they were of their
27:59father
28:00the devil so this is proving to you the spirit of religion it's like i've been walking through these
28:06scriptures so that it can be you know identified and so people can read it and see it for themselves
28:13that religion and and and watch this because when you start really coming against religion you're
28:20already you know pulling down that stronghold called christianity because it is not what god gave us
28:28it appeared wonderful it looked wonderful uh you know but it's it's not there is a way
28:36that seems right unto people but the end thereof is destruction it causes you to never come into
28:44this realm of kingdom and you you know you're supposed to have this this is what was this is your
28:51benefits and and religion will never allow it and and so when i say the bible is definitely not a
28:58religious book because the very thing that jesus came against and encountered all the time was religion
29:05a spirit of religion which was in these pharisees and these scribes and all the religious rulers
29:12that that was a spirit of religion to the point where it made it a point which was to the
29:18glory of god when
29:19they killed jesus it was god's purpose it was prophesied so be it but it's also it's not just showing
29:26what
29:26happened to jesus it's revealing this spirit that is so deceptive that has caused people to not see it for
29:34what it is and we're going to walk through it so you can see it for yourself the same opposing
29:40force
29:40that came against jesus and his disciples is the spirit of religion that we are fighting and dealing
29:48with today all right and so let's take a look then because there are only about really i know they
29:54seem
29:55like it's more but it's really only three places in the bible you find this word religion and i say
30:01it
30:02really only counts as three because when it's in the same sentence it's not it can't be counted as
30:07an additional all right so i look at acts uh chapter 26 and and verse 5 and we're going to
30:15look at we're
30:15looking up the word religious and religion okay and i'll give you the um the uh concordance number for
30:23them as well so that you can you know look it up for yourself i always like for those to
30:28you know see for themselves so it won't be just something i said it'll be something to see for
30:33yourself and and this was paul when he came before king agrippa all right and again that would be your
30:40concordance numbers two three five six thank you casey put it right up there for you all right and and
30:46what it deals with the ceremonialism and the observance the religious observance all right now verse
30:54four of acts uh and i'm reading the nlt this is the new living translation thank you god
31:06it says as the jewish leaders are well aware i was given a thorough jewish training now he's before king
31:17agrippa and he's explaining who he is and where he came from so they could you know better realize
31:24what he was his appeal before them because they wanted of course to kill him beat him everything
31:30that you know they could do to stop that that's religion i want you to see that for what it
31:35is
31:35read between the lines here is paul now before king agrippa and he's giving his testimony he says i
31:43you know as as the jewish leaders are well aware he says they all know this
31:48okay they know i was given a thorough jewish training from my earliest childhood uh among my
31:56own people in jerusalem uh if they would admit that means if they would admit it they know that i
32:05was
32:05true to this religion and he goes on to say they know that i have been a member watch this
32:12of the pharisees
32:14who were the pharisees again these were the religious rulers they would know if he said if
32:19they would admit it they know that i was true to this and i was you know in the number
32:23of the pharisees
32:24under what the strictest sect of our religion okay and that's the one time you you'll see it but
32:33again it shows up uh but you can't keep counting it over in the same sentence all right so he's
32:39describing what does he describe as religion the the pharisees he's pointing them out okay
32:47now let's take a look also at galatians uh verses uh chapter one verses 13 and 14 again in the
32:57nlt the
32:58national uh living translation again these just leave out the though and the thou and you know that early
33:06english you know translation he says you know what i was like again paul sharing he's really
33:16exposing and revealing this spirit says you know what i was what i was like when i followed the jewish
33:23religion how i violently persecuted the church i did my best to destroy it
33:35is that a spirit of religion are we seeing this for what it is he's actually exposing this spirit
33:44he said i did my best to destroy it well he was under the influence of this evil spirit who
33:49he thought
33:50was good you know in the other passage he says that he was thinking it was good unto god to
33:56do this
33:57verse 14 he says i was far ahead of my fellow jews and my zeal for the for oh this
34:06is good and and my
34:07zeal for the traditions and we know in one place jesus made it clear that this religious traditions
34:13made the word word of god of none effect all right you've known that we've shared that many times for
34:18those who do not all right he said that you know for the traditions of my ancestors so this is
34:25uh two four
34:27got it right there on the screen two four five uh when you look it up you know what you're
34:33going to read
34:34i mean judaism jewish religions jewish faith jewish religions nothing to do with kingdom nothing to do
34:46with what god is i tell you over and over again this is why the bible can't be religious it's
34:52exposing
34:53it's coming against religion because it's a spirit and the sooner people identify this spirit for what it
35:00is and come against it talk about casting down imaginations images making it look like it's
35:07something that it's not and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of god this spirit of
35:14has exalted itself against the knowledge of god this is a high thing and it must be pulled down it
35:21is a
35:22stronghold and you must pull it down and cast it from you in the name of jesus so that you
35:29can be free
35:30to come into the promises and all that god has for you all right let's take a look at james
35:36chapter
35:37one again these are the places that you you will see this term religion but how it has nothing to
35:44do
35:45with the realm of kingdom james one and twenty and they're the good the numbers up for you as well
35:51thank you casey all right james one and twenty six says if you claim to be religious there it is
35:57but don't control your tongue you are fooling yourself and your religion is worthless well
36:04guess who he's talking to yeah the jewish converts the jewish believers do you know the first church was
36:12jewish they were jewish people that were coming into the faith and all of their practices religious
36:21practices that they had learned over the years as paul said from his ancestors okay all of this
36:30is being revealed and he was really addressing them and he goes on to say pure and genuine religion
36:40in the sight of god the father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let
36:50the
36:50world corrupt you well people that are not religious do that they care for so this to them was what
37:00religion
37:00their true religion was was was to again you know care for the orphans and widows well is that really
37:09well if you want to call it a religion so be it but people that are not religious do these
37:14things more
37:15so than anyone else so to speak you know entrepreneurs those who give and those um
37:22philanthropists however you say that word all right they do that without any kind of religious
37:28conviction so again it's it's the only place these are the only places as mentioned but i'm showing you
37:35it has nothing to do with kingdom all right i want to read that uh james in the um passion
37:44translation if
37:45you will in the passion translation and again but but before we even move to that that that translation
37:53two three five six it explains exactly what he's talking to because he's talking to jews it says it's
38:00their ceremonial observance religious uh bewailing lamenting mourning it's religious whenever you
38:08referring to religion they're referring to the judaism the religious faith of judaism okay so and you can't
38:15get more clear than that all right uh let's take a look at james in i i want to read
38:20the um passion
38:22translation he says if someone believes they have a relationship with god but fails to guard
38:30their words then their heart is drifting away and their religion is shallow and empty so we're
38:37talking really about a way of behaving and he's really instructing these jewish believers in terms
38:45of how they need to conduct themselves he goes on to say now look at this is the better translation
38:51because when i looked it up the word religion in the early bibles was never mentioned this is what
38:57was mentioned in the original translations he says true spirituality he didn't say relate truths
39:06true spirituality okay that is pure in the eyes of our father god is to make a difference in the
39:15lives
39:15of orphans widows and their trouble all right and to refuse to be corrupted by the world's values
39:23so again yes that's good but nothing to do with kingdom when you have conducts we told you about
39:33the kingdom code of conduct that's the way you be you know control yourself anyway you where you conduct
39:39yourself but again it has nothing to do religion is nothing to do with the realm of kingdom all right
39:46all right i'll read acts 13 and 43 again this is just covering the the three places where you find
39:55this
39:55term religion uh and again that the number is up there for you very good all right many jews
40:02and devout converts so again you're seeing who is being addressed uh to judaism follow paul
40:11and barnabas and barnabas and urging them to continue to rely on the grace of god and not their religious
40:21worship so
40:22that is describing because why instead of them doing all of these uh you know sacrifices and ceremonialisms and
40:32all these uh religious uh you know rituals that they had picked up he was they were using that as
40:41their
40:41salvation and paul is telling them no it's the grace of god okay you know it's not anything that you
40:49could do less people would boast that's in his teaching and he's telling them this is not you know what
40:56god is
40:57requiring of you it is his grace you receive it by faith which was very difficult and this is why
41:04a
41:04lot of them turned away because they were so used to their rituals and their ceremonies and doing what
41:10they considered to be for salvation and paul they were converts and many of them stayed but many of them
41:17left because of their again religious mindset all right so again this is just to show you that this
41:26spirit has just hovered over god's people for all these for centuries and people don't really even know
41:37that they're caught up in this the people don't even know that this is a spirit that makes them feel
41:44comfortable in something that is not of god and therefore they don't come into okay so come into some
41:51things but what if you were able to come into the fullness you know jesus said that your joy might
41:57be
41:57full that you would come into what he has you know there there'll be always some minimum very limited
42:05benefits that you'll come into but never into the fullness and as we see the body of christ the church
42:12as it is it's not coming into the fullness of what the word of god says and it can't because
42:18a religion
42:19is of the devil therefore religion can't do i'm about to jump into the mysteries because it's very
42:26clear that a religious spirit is not going to come against a devil because the devil would be divided
42:34that's a devil coming against the devil his kingdom would be divided that jesus exposed to that when they
42:40were calling him up beelzebub he says if the devil casts out the devil his kingdom is divided that makes
42:45no
42:45sense a religion if we continue this mindset of religion we're not going to be effective in one
42:51of the first mysteries that he revealed is that to cast out devils is this why the church is not
42:56very
42:57successful in getting people delivered and set free because they really don't understand that you have
43:04to be fully in the spirituality of the realm of the kingdom and not religion because religion is of the
43:10devil and the devil is not going to cast out a devil all right and well i jumped ahead but
43:16let's take a
43:16look at and at uh second corinthians and then i'll take a look also at the term christian again we
43:24may
43:24not have time but we'll get it when we come we're going to go through this because i just i
43:29can i just get
43:30this vision of seeing god's people so free that they come into the very dreams that god is putting their
43:38spirit that you know the things they have believed for and envisioned for their life and for their
43:45family their children uh their neighborhood their their careers okay their gifts i just see that release
43:53coming and it's so big and i know that this is what god has for his people he never wants
44:00them to
44:00live less than what he has called for us and so this is why you know we continue to drill
44:07this and
44:07plead the blood and come against this spirit so that god's people can get so free that they can you
44:14know prove it prove everything the word of god has said all right second corinthians 5 and
44:22verse 19 in lt he says for god was in christ reconciling the world to himself
44:32no longer counting people's sins against them because religion will always keep talking about
44:37sin and you're this and you're that and it judge and it condemns and you know this is so important
44:44for us to hear he's reconciling the world what god is reconciling the world to himself okay it goes on
44:52to
44:52say no longer counting people's sins against him and he gave us the wonderful message of reconciliation
45:00so we are christ ambassadors now we enter into another one of the mysteries one of the secrets
45:07that is imperative that you get this in your spirit today says so we are christ ambassadors god is making
45:16his appeal through us we speak for christ when we plead come back to god when we are telling people
45:25look get back we are it's like god is speaking through us all right it says for god has made
45:32jesus to be
45:33sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of god in christ meaning the
45:42what the white way or the way that god does things is coming through us as ambassadors see the blood
45:50of
45:50jesus made us the righteousness of god not a religion we represent a kingdom not a religion okay spiritually an
46:03ambassador is not even a actual fleshly person an ambassador is the embodiment of the kingdom of
46:12heaven heaven that's why he says it's in you it's a country it's the nation of god almighty
46:18and that's what you have been become spiritually no people won't see it but god has said this is what
46:26you are you are the embodiment of the kingdom of god of a country now watch this ambassadors are an
46:36an appointment of a government not a religious person an ambassador carries the power of the country it
46:46represents can you get with that you carry the power of that is so powerful but if you don't think
46:53that
46:54know that believe that if you have cut down yourself to what is called a christian then you cannot
47:02represent you cannot represent you cannot be an ambassador you you're not representing what the kingdom is
47:08saying and what it's all about our constitution what we call the bible calls us ambassadors of christ
47:17this means we are appointed by the government of heaven the kingdom of heaven and we bring that in earth
47:28as it is in heaven glory to god this is so powerful people of god this is why we come
47:38against the term christian now
47:40looking at this term christians it appears only three times and really twice because it's mentioned in the
47:47same sentence it appears only uh you know and it's only in the original new testament and and and
47:55again that the scriptures are there if if if if i gave that to casey for christians i'm not sure
48:02acts 11
48:03and 26 uh acts 26 and 28 and then there's peter 4 16 these are the three thank you casey
48:12these are the
48:13three times that it is mentioned and again when it's in the same situation dealing with the same situation
48:19you know again uh it you can only count it alone but that that's really not the most important part
48:26it was given by the pagan citizens of antioch okay and that was around 40 40 a.d which was
48:37you know some
48:39time after jesus resurrection uh but it first started out as a derogatory expression it was not a good
48:48expression it literally it literally when you translate it it means religion because they
48:54were looking for what they could call these followers of jesus uh and so it was always something
49:01that was not considered to be good all right in fact jesus being a jewish teacher came against the very
49:08religion of judaism as we just showed you in terms of understanding the word religion so jesus did not
49:15practice any religion you know he attended the synagogues during the feast so he could preach
49:23about the message of him being a king which they resisted in one place they literally said we will not
49:29have him as our king all right but he was preaching the kingdom and and this was his message jesus
49:36did not
49:36come to start a religion christianity emerged later as his followers mostly jews who came to believe
49:45he was the messiah and the son of god all right jesus a devout jew even though he was by
49:53birth only
49:55not by you know all these religious practices that people want to make him to be uh but before the
50:01term
50:02christian was coined guess what the earliest followers they referred and called themselves watch this
50:10the way yes the way where did they get that from john 14 and verse 6 these were the true
50:19original
50:19followers of jesus and you can look that up even google it and that's what's going to come up the
50:25original term for the followers of uh jesus was the way because why he said i am the way the
50:33truth and the
50:33life okay and this was even isaiah's prophecy prepare the way of the lord so jesus never referred to
50:41himself or his followers as christians and so that's why i said as you continue to uh you know denounce
50:50that religious spirit that term christianity is going right down with it it will lose you so let's then
50:57hopefully you can understand that and again look it up do some research find out so you can get free
51:04of that you you will be so blessed and things begin to turn around you start seeing what it was
51:09supposed
51:09to be all right and so we began talking about understanding this realm of ambassadors uh which is
51:18again it's it's a hidden mystery but it's in plain sight says so you the person is not the natural
51:25you're not
51:26in the natural but you spiritually are the embodiment of the kingdom of god okay this country called
51:34heaven and you are representative of this country's government you carry you represent the country this
51:42helps you to understand how great your power is because you have the kingdom an entire nation country
51:50okay backing you okay backing you following you staying with you you carry you represent something
51:56very powerful your power is through this understanding okay it helps you to understand how great your power
52:06really is you think of a part think of a parliamentarian you know a political person or a congress person
52:16a senator think of these people um but you personally when you understand this
52:27you start getting out of that religious mindset and start seeing the reality of what it was
52:33okay uh you know the ambassador you yourself is not this greatness the the ambassador the spirituality of
52:41the ambassadorship that's the greater because ambassador guess what is greater than all those
52:46the parliamentarians the parliamentarians the congressmen the councilmen the senators the the
52:51the ambassador is greater over all of them in a government uh a parliamentarian congress senator
52:57council person they all rely to be voted they have to be voted in okay uh but when an ambassador
53:04is
53:05appointed they're not they're not voted in they're appointed they become an actual embodiment of that
53:13that country that country that nation the country takes over their life the the government becomes what
53:19responsible for them that government america when they appoint an ambassador they become responsible for
53:27that person and they take care everything everything is taken care of why so that person can focus on his
53:35his ambassadorship okay where he's being causing people to be reconciled onto god and and if you understand
53:44that you can see the importance of why religion would not want you to understand this why the enemy would
53:51come and snatch this away in other words your life becomes the property of that government your life is the
53:58property no
53:58wonder jesus said uh don't worry okay saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall
54:05we wear you know that was in matthew chapter 6 and 31 i'm winding down because my time is up
54:10but we got
54:11to pick up on this you got to start seeing who you are okay yes you know you need to
54:16know spiritually but then
54:17need to understand your position okay in the kingdom of heaven he says for the the pagans the
54:24unbelievers run after these things and your heavenly father knows what you need he knows that you need
54:32them so that's why i said i want you to seek first understand your position seek first what's already
54:38been set up and laid aside for you an ambassador has more authority than who you know those who are
54:45really actually thinking they're the ones it is the ambassador realize that you know you got more
54:52authority than what you realize if someone assaults you or insults a citizen it's called an assault
54:59but if someone assaults an ambassador it's called an international incident that's what we'll get in
55:08when we come back this is why it would be so to your advantage to never concern yourself with clapping
55:15back or getting back or coming after someone who has done something to you because when you understand
55:21an ambassadorship you learn the real value of who you are father in the name of jesus we thank you
55:28oh god your word is so powerful it's it's like a mighty hammer and lord let your word oh god
55:36be in your
55:37people as never before let them get the impartation and revelation of what you have done concerning your
55:44people we cast down the spirit of religion in the name of jesus we denounce it and we come fully
