Kingdom Beauty—clearing up the CONFUSION

Our Heavenly Father is clearing up the CONFUSION

Many speak of building the kingdom

Many speak of building the church

However, none of that is our responsibility

Our Heavenly Father has given us the Kingdom and

Christ said that HE would build the Church!

Too many are trying to build the church—

Too many leaders select members that

They want to have in their church—

They block many from discovering the Kingdom!

The word church is translated ‘Ekklesia’

However, this word is misunderstood by many!

Ekklesia was not a ‘religious gathering’—

Ekklesia was a ‘GOVERNING BODY’ in a region that

Assembled for the purpose of LEGISLATING laws and

Declaring war in the region—

The romans knew this and this is why Jesus

Chose the time of the Roman Empire to fulfil HIS ASSIGNMENT

Our Heavenly Father will not be MOCKED

He will fulfil the TRUE DESIRE of the Ekklesia—

And over the centuries HE has been doing it!

Bless HIS HOLY NAME!

We must know and understand our CITIZENSHIP

Then we will know how to LEGISLATE the policies of HEAVEN

Which is exactly what Jesus meant in Matthew 16:19

The word church is translated ‘Ekklesia’

However, this word is misunderstood by many!

Ekklesia was not a ‘religious gathering’—

Ekklesia was a ‘GOVERNING BODY’ in a region that

Assembled for the purpose of LEGISLATING laws and

Declaring war in the region—

The romans knew this and this is why Jesus

Chose the time of the Roman Empire to fulfil HIS ASSIGNMENT

Many speak of building the kingdom

Many speak of building the church

However, none of that is our responsibility

We bless OUR LORD ALMIGHTY because

He is CLEARING up the CONFUSION!

The Kingdom of God GIVES you an OPPORTUNITY to be!

The Kingdom of God GIVES you an OPPORTUNITY to be!

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14)

Jesus did not bring a religion

Jesus brought a KINGDOM

Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—

The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!

Religion makes you work for salvation

In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

We are HIS CITIZENS and HE enforces His LAWS

Jesus did not bring a religion

Jesus brought a KINGDOM—

"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed." Daniel 7:13-14

Religion means to search—you are not satisfied

When you find the Kingdom of God you are fulfilled

Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—

The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!

Religion makes you work for salvation

In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

The Speaking Blood

When you are facing a tough situation
The blood speaks
When you are sick
The blood speaks
When you are angry
The blood speaks
When you are facing the enemy
The blood speaks
When people insult you
The blood speaks
When you have sinned
The blood speaks
When you are unsure about the future
The blood speaks
When you are alone
The blood speaks
When your family is going astray
The blood speaks
When your children are moving down the wrong path
The blood speaks

The blood of Jesus speaks
Now let us speak the blood of Jesus

The Kingdom vs. 16 soldiers—the darkest Night cannot Stop Us

The Kingdom vs. 16 soldiers—the darkest Night cannot Stop Us


The kingdom of God is unstoppable
No matter how many people try to keep us in a cage
The Kingdom of God will set us free
Our resurrection will not be STOPPED because of
His Holy NAME


Jesus rose from the grave that day
Just as the Scriptures declared—
The Tomb was prepared for Him
The Roman guard around the tomb would
Have consisted of 16 soldiers because
Jesus was an important political prisoner


Guards slept in shifts but soon
He would be lifted up—
The Saviour laid down for three days and
Then He was resurrected by His Father
Human power over Jesus was now finished
Soon men would be empowered by the Holy Spirit


His Kingdom is from Everlasting to Everlasting
He has conquered death and that is why with each
Living breath we should praise Him because
He is the Alpha and the Omega—
He rose from the grave that day
Just as the Scriptures declared
The tomb was guarded by 16 soldiers
But that could not stop the resurrection


His Kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting
He tasted death for us so
That we could taste life through Him


He is the Alpha and the Omega
The tomb was guarded by 16 soldiers
But that could not stop the resurrection


The kingdom of God is unstoppable
No matter how many people try to keep us in a cage
The Kingdom of God will set us free
Our resurrection will not be STOPPED because of
His Holy NAME

Days are expensive—Make it a kingdom Day

                            

                   Don’t waste your day

Days are expensive

Don’t taste the error of casualness because

Casualness leads to casualties who never realized that

The days are expensive

It cost the sun and the moon

It cost oxygen…

Be the one who pays attention today

                  

Let the hour reveal

The power of appreciation

Magnify your skill today

Days are expensive so

Learn to use them wisely

The day has a purpose so

How can you live the day

If you don’t have a purpose

Life can’t be wasted

Find a way and let

The days reveal you

Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus each year?

Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus each year?


Many in the 21st century would like a new Jesus
The reason is simply that the Jesus of the Bible destroys the peace
The Jesus of the Bible convicts the mind
The Jesus of the Bible shows us what purity is really about
The Jesus of the Bible declares that our sins must be forgiven

Fabricating a new Jesus
Exempts a man or women from
The need for the blood of Jesus and
This is the real goal of the enemy--
Some scholars might not even know that
They are part of this conspiracy
They might feel that their work is justified
However their work is a product from hell and
That is why we have to let these scholars know that
Jesus Christ will never be destroyed by foolish theories

Nothing will nullify HIS BLOOD
Nothing will quash the CROSS of CALVARY
It is embedded in history because HIS STORY is ETERNAL

Many in the 21st century would like a new Jesus!
The reason is simply that the Jesus of the Bible destroys the peace
The Jesus of the Bible convicts the mind
The Jesus of the Bible shows us what purity is really about
The Jesus of the Bible declares that our sins must be forgiven

The world does not need any more religion

Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of

grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in

time of need.

The world does not need any more religion

It needs Jesus Christ—

Religious people try to appease their god

They live in fear of their god but

The God of Jesus says that we can come

Boldly into His throne with confidence

Because of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross—

Religious people attempt to do God’s work in their own strength

Many religious people are good on Sunday but from

Monday to Saturday we see a different person

The world does not need any more religion

It needs Jesus Christ—

It needs another Government (the Government of Heaven)

That is what Jesus brought

He did not bring a religion

He brought a Government

Deadly Influences in 2012—Kingdom Confrontation Part 1

Deadly Influences in 2012—Kingdom Confrontation Part 1

Deception is getting easier and easier
Biblical marketing is a huge contribution toward deception
“Biblical marketing is an attempt to use the latest sales concepts and
marketing principles to attract the lost in the hope that they will be won to Christ.”
There are now tons of books concerning prosperity--
It appears the only thing that a Christian wants to do is to prosper “financially” and
So many will resemble the format of Revelation 3:17
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
However, the Lord said to the church in Smyrna
“I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich!”

Today many give to God or the church because
They want more money yet I have seen many
Christians that got nothing in return...
Today many treat their tithe like playing the lottery and
This is a product of the world

The book of Proverbs warns of a quick fix and
So often, we mix truth with error!
Today if you do not tithe
You will never be in a ministry position!
How foolish that today’s churches
Use the tithe as a law and spit in the face of Grace

Tithing is no sign of Christian devotion
We must tithe for the right reason so
Let our tithe feed the poor, help the widow and
Minister to the heart of God etc

Let us not play the lottery in church
Because that is a sign of mockery--
Today many give to God or the church because
They want more money

Deception is getting easier and easier

‘Micro-Christianity’—the Kingdom Challenge

‘Micro-Christianity’—the Kingdom Challenge

We are in a time of history when we have so much
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research
Certain things must be learnt and studied but
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour

The only reason why God has allowed different Bible translations is so
That the message can get to everyone ( on their level)—in his mercy
We might not agree with every translation but each of us
Can take the time out to study the context of the verse
In order to get the proper meaning—we live in a great time
We can learn so many truths (keys) of the Gospel

The lack of true biblical literacy on the part of God’s people is alarming
Today people believe in a ‘micro-Christianity’—
Our generation has lost the art of reading—
With this lack we forget that Jesus is the one that was bleeding
We live in a time when our senses are being bombarded
With constant noise and entertainment—the heart goes out to my learners
In their pain I understand their strain and so I pray that Jesus
Will guard their soul because it isn’t easy for our youth—

When people are told they should read their Bibles
Their instincts, correctly, are to begin with Genesis
But they get half way and are confronted by ‘Cain and Abel’
This is not easy reading and so the reader becomes ‘confused’—
The ones who tend to read their Bibles the most, tend also to read them poorly
Just think of all the denominations that are defending their ‘doctrine’

Many just read the ‘good parts’ of the Bible because it suits them
But it will be wise to remember that
A battery is made up of a positive and a negative so
It is imperative that the Bible presents the true negatives of life

We are in a time of history when we have so much
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research
Certain things must be learnt and studied but
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour

In Kingdom Living Tomorrow Never Dies

The Kingdom always gives you a FUTURE

Mistakes cannot remove your future—

The Kingdom of God will rectify your mistakes

The Kingdom will show you who you are and

It will not allow you to be religious

Jesus knew moments of darkness in his life

We will have moment of darkness in our life

Darkness means ‘growth’—

In Garden of Gethsemane Jesus realized

The awful type of death that he would suffer—

He knew that the physical pain would be terrible

He would carry our ‘sins while he was on that cross’

In the Garden, he prayed to his Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’ (Luke 22:41-46.)

Believers today, at some time will have periods of spiritual darkness

They will display clouds of doubt—

Sometime they will experience an eclipse

The Bible states, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

Many saints never doubt that God is real

However many saints at times doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY

Many at times feel that God is unfair—

They feel that God has not worked in

The way that they hoped or planned

Jeremiah in the Bible was concentrating on the people’s ‘return’ to God

However, God said to him, ‘If you return, then you can serve me’ (15:4)—

Jeremiah was full of pain and despair—

Our Heavenly FATHER reminded Jeremiah about his job

Jeremiah must help people to change—

He must not change and become like the people (15:19b)

Jeremiah’s job was going to be very hard

But God encouraged him—

Jeremiah had doubts— He was suffering very much

Sometimes we forget what God has said to us—

We then need to read it again—and believe

Our lives may be hard

But we must trust in his promises—

They do not change (Read 1 Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)

AT times you may not be sure that prayer is worthwhile—

But you must still pray and lay it before him—[even in anger]

Even at his worst times, Jeremiah continued to pray—

Sometimes it seemed that he only complained to God

But he continued to pray—nothing stopped him

(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15; 17:14 and 20:7-12)

Jeremiah prayed clearly and in an honest way

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today

Rev 1:5-6: ....Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Malachi 3:17a: “They shall be mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I make them my jewels.”

Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom

He preached relationship and not religion

Religion wants to put us into a specific ‘hold’ and keep us there

The religious church is divided into two major

Categories, one labelled ‘clergy’ and one labelled ‘laity’

The clergy referred to ‘fulltime ministers’ who

Generally performed all the spiritual duties of the church

Everyone else was referred to as laity

But God has pulled many out (and is still pulling) of this religious ‘hold’

Religion cannot save man—the Blood of Jesus does

We are a kingdom of kings and priest

We are peculiar people designed for a Kingdom purpose

We are His Governmental Agents on earth to bring Him Glory!

Every aspect of our life is to be the domain of God

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today

The religious church wants to hang on until Jesus comes back so

Many disregard Kingdom Teaching because they think it is not for now

The religious church believes the Kingdom is for Heaven

Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom

He preached relationship and not religion

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today

The religious church wants to hang on until Jesus comes back but

We are a kingdom of kings and priest

We are peculiar people designed for a Kingdom purpose

We are His Governmental Agents on earth to bring Him Glory!

Every aspect of our life is to be the domain of God

Kingdom File 2—An Imperial Church

 An imperial church is a church that is functioning

Within the framework of the Empire of God—

The ekklesia is HOLY and “is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven”

(Hebr8:4.5; 9:24; 1 Chron. 28:19, Ex. 25:40 Etc)

She existed before the foundations of the EARTH

The Ekklesia is the LORD’s SENATE

The Ekklesia must fulfil the KING’S MIND—so if

The Lord does not build the house, its builders labour in vain” (Ps 127:1)

The Ekklesia makes the invisible EMPIRE visible

Our Heavenly father has made HIS WORD Visible—

Jesus came as an invisible king,

Representing an invisible power to assume

The government of a yet invisible empire—

We have the privilege of making HIS Kingdom VISIBLE—

Love is the FIRST visible trait that can be made public

An Imperial church functions

Within the Framework of the Empire of God—

She must colonizes whatever she touches

Her Majestic presence infects all GENERATIONS—

The Ekklesia is the LORD’s SENATE

The Ekklesia must fulfil the KING’S MIND—so if

The Lord does not build the house, its builders labour in vain” (Ps 127:1)

Jesus came as an invisible king,

Representing an invisible power to assume

The government of a yet invisible empire

The Kingdom vs. playing the Lottery in church with the tithe

The Old Testament tithe was a tax—not a gift

Today many give to God or the church because

They want more money yet I have seen many

Christians that got nothing in return—

This can simply be due to the fact that

They treat their tithe like playing the lottery 

The book of Proverbs warns of a quick fix and 

So often, we mix truth with error!

Today if you do not tithe

You will never be in a ministry position!

How foolish that today’s churches

Use the tithe as a law and spit in the face of Grace

Tithing is no sign of Christian devotion

We must give for the right reason so

Let our tithe feed the poor, help the window and

Minister to the heart of God etc

Let us not let our tithe be like the lottery

Because that is a sign of mockery

Today many play the lottery in the church—

We give because we want to not because we have to…

Christian refugees—Kingdom Victory

Christian refugees—Kingdom Victory

paroikos

par'-oy-kos

From G3844 and G3624; having a home near, that is, (as noun) a by-dweller (alien resident): - foreigner, sojourn, stranger.

We have Christian (citizens of Heaven) refugees on this planet

They are scatted everywhere in many places of the world

They cannot return to their homeland and they are not yet

At the place they would like to be

Some of their conditions are miserable

By the standards of the world yet

They have chosen it above what they had before

They love the Lord and they have become all things to men

The idea of the Christian being a "refugee" is useful (I Peter 2:1 1)

There are millions of political refugees in the world today

They are scattered in camps in many places in the world

Their present conditions are often "miserable"

By the standards of the world, yet

They have chosen it above what they had before.

They live hoping for a better future

Some will obtain it now and will not

Some die in misery while others live in joy

Whatever the situation God is with the saint

We were sent here for a purpose

We must glorify Him in our new domain

This is why He has given us dominion and

More important we have His Name which is all that we need

Let us love one another as Jesus has loved us

He was also a foreign in this land and

He brought His Father’s Kingdom to planet earth

Let us do the same—this brings God Glory

Kingdom Correction

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1


This verse is one of the most abused verses in the 21st century
This is one of the most quoted verses
Skeptics quote this verse—
Rebellious teenagers quote this verse
Certain religious people quote this when their thoughts are challenged— 
When people want to defend their cause they quote this verse
However, when this verse is quoted it is usually ripped out of context—
The tragedy is that many use this verse as a ‘scare tactic’
This verse is one of the most abused verses in the 21st century


The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is a 
Public criticism of the Jewish scribes and 
Pharisees for their self-righteousness and abuse of the Old Testament—
Their lifestyle were judged righteously and Jesus came to
Show them this with a heart of LOVE but
He knew that some would rebel


Many people only want to focus on the positive things that
Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’


Jesus said, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:20—
Here the righteousness of the Pharisees were judged—
They were wearing righteousness with their clothes
However they never had it in their hearts!


Many people only want to focus on the positive things
That Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’


When we judge a teaching, we must judge righteously
We must do it without hypocrisy—John 7:24
Jesus had already judged the Pharisees righteousness 
When He taught the Sermon on the Mount—
Soon after the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus
Commanded that His followers make a judgement—
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine,
Lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” Matthew 7:6—Here we must judge who are dogs and who are hogs (pigs)


Again in Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus implied that 
The disciples must make a judgement!
In reality there is a simple question that we must ask ourselves,
How can we watch out for false prophets if we can’t make judgements?
[1 Corinthians 5:4-5, 11, 13b; 2 John 9-11 etc.]


Matthew 7:1 is used a lot in the 21st century
Many misuse it but forget that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’

Our Mission Far Exceeds a Church building—Kingdom Simplicity

“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” Psalm 2:8

The Kingdom of God never stays in the Church

The Kingdom of God travels all over this earth

We must not let a Church building blind us

That is a selfish nature—we are not

The only people that must go to Heaven

So let us not allow the Church building make us selfish!

Jesus didn’t leave the kingdom of God in heaven

He brought it with Him to earth--

At the Last Supper just prior to His crucifixion;

Jesus did something interesting--

Jesus handed over His Kingdom to the disciples

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed to me: that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29-30

Our aim as saints is to affect nations

We are not on earth to build churches

Jesus is the ONE who calls HIS Ecclesia and

As saints we must deliver HIS MIND

The term "Kingdom of Heaven" or "Kingdom of God" is mentioned

Over 100 times in the New Testament alone

Yet most saints or church members today

Don't even talk about the Kingdom, much less understand it

They dismiss it by saying we are in the Church Age—they say

We must wait for Christ to return and set up His Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)

It is God's Government ruling your heart and mind

The Kingdom of God operates in our lives right now

Heaven will support us now; our registration is in Heaven

Our aim as saints is to affect nations

We are not on earth to build churches

Jesus is the ONE who calls HIS Ecclesia and

As saints we must deliver HIS MIND

The WORD of GOD will affect nations

We must deliver the GREAT COMMISSION to the nations

Our mission far exceeds a church building

The Kingdom of God never stays in the Church

The Kingdom of God travels all over this earth

We must not let a Church building blind us

That is a selfish nature—we are not

The only people that must go to Heaven

So let us not allow the Church building make us selfish!
