Praise to God:
Hallelujah. I will praise the name of the Lord my God who is wonderful. Jehovah Holy Spirit God you the three who are in one in the Heavens. Heaven is thine throne and earth your footstool. Let your kingdom come tonight. John 10:3,4 says “You said your sheep will hear your voice” so Lord we want to hear you tonight. We are ready to listen to obey. We want to follow you. God transforms our lives into more of a likeness of you Lord. Lord, we must decrease and you must increase per John 3:30. Heal your people, deliver your people, save your people. Lord come in your kingdom. We praise you, Jesus. Lord may the words of my mouth the meditation of our heart be acceptable in your sight. Lord our rock and our redeemer. We pray to the father in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Questions to the Lord:
1. Question: How to hear the voice of God more?
Answer: Lord is saying to us, He knows that we have the heart for him and we serve him constantly which will allow us to hear the voice of the Lord. He specifically said that when we meditate on the Old Testament, we see the people like Samuel was in the presence of God, and he heard the voice of the Lord. The Lord is saying that we need to go back and meditate on the people who heard the voice of God and spend more time in meditation in our life. Our time serving is great, but our time in His presence is what we need if we want to hear the voice of God. He want us to spend time in that; This is the first step. When you do that, is he going to start to give us the unction of the Holy Spirit, where we won’t hear audibly but all of a sudden we will get an answer. It is like ‘Who is that inside of us that’s saying that?’ We will get the unction and we will get the answer, and after that, we will hear his voice audibly. Amen
2. Question: why do we struggle to worship, when it’s time to worship?
Answer: Lord gave a very specific answer. So there is a couple of things to know. What’s happening is we are distressed in our soul and we are bothered about so many things. He said that we have to pray over ourselves. Psalms 42:5 David said Why are you downcast oh my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Put your trust in God!’ So our emotions are blocking us, making walls in our heart. What the Lord is saying is that, if we don’t sing, he said we should to spend 30 minutes while everyone singing or worshipping just say Hallelujah, hallelujah and say that for 30 min and we will to speak to our soul. God said this will make us open up and the worship will start to flow.
Word of God:
The message that God has placed upon my heart tonight is “The kingdom of God is at hand”. We see this in the Matthew 3:2, & Matthew 4:19. In both places John the Baptist and Jesus said the same thing. They said; ‘Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!’ So time is short. We have to bring people and get them ready for the second coming of Jesus, because the kingdom of is at hand. We are going to talk about the two things. Because what the Lord is teaching us tonight is that is actually two different things. The kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. So the Kingdom of God is the power, and the glory of God revealed from eternity past to eternity future. That is the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of Heaven is actually the beginning of the church , all the way through till the millennium; that’s the Kingdom of Heaven. So that’s the difference. Most people think the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are the same thing. So that’s the first thing Lord wants us to know tonight, is that there’s a difference in those two things. So what’s very important as it says in Luke 4:44, Luke 10: 9,11 in all the places it tells us that we have to go preach the Kingdom of God in Matthew 24:14. It says until we preach the Kingdom of God to all the nations, the end won’t come, so it’s our job. Ephesians 5: 22 to 28 is to prepare the bride for the bridegroom. The Bride is the Church. The Bridegroom is Jesus Christ so here we have to understand the Kingdom of God as we’ve talked about before, is joy peace and righteousness. So we have to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth, and to the people with the help of the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17 is such a key here to understand. The power of the Kingdom of God is within you. It’s very important. So, it is not that we don’t get the Kingdom of God, we will get the Kingdom of God through observation, through sitting back and watching the power in us. So, it’s our job to help people to be able to see the Kingdom of God enter the Kingdom of God and inherit the Kingdom of God. All three of these things are only possible with the help of the Holy Spirit. In John 3:3 to 5 & Acts 14: 22 and also Galatians 5:19 to 23 in all that, we see we have got to enter, we have got to inherit, and help people with the Kingdom of God. Now I will give you a visual on that. You know if everyone loves to drive down Gordon Drive with all those beautiful big mansions. We just get to drive by and we get to see them. Some people have never gotten to see them, but we actually can drive down the street. We get to see them, but most of us have probably never entered one of them, and most of us never inherited one of them, so it’s one thing to be able to see that house and it doesn’t cost you anything. You can enter it if you know someone who lives there, and you can visit them and you can enter and walk around their house, and we can look at the ocean through the window. But then inherit, that’s a whole big deal. Paul said to inherit the Kingdom of God is through tribulation. If you want one of those houses on Gordon drive, we have to work hard and want to save a lot of money, and we have to buy the house and we have to pay for it and all the upkeep and do all that work – so it’s a lot harder. So, the first level of entering is great when you have few friends who own that big place. Inheriting is a whole other deal should be the other way seeing, entering, inheriting. Amen. Because so many people don’t even see the Kingdom of God, some people see, but they won’t go further. Some people enter in and a few will inherit the Kingdom of God. That’s the place we want to be, so we have to understand that this comes by continuously speaking a pure word. When people hear; ‘sow your seed in churches’ they will take the wallet and give donations, give money but biblically that’s not sowing. SOW YOUR SEED means WORD OF GOD and that we need to sow and scatter through speaking through the pure word of God. In Mathew 4:26-29 & I peter 4:11 says when you speak the oracle of God, you know many of us to think there are a lot of miracles that are happening around us, or a lot of things, but how many times are we quoting the business of the day, or what we heard on television and all that? How much are we speaking to people about the Kingdom of God? When we are walking like that and speaking the Kingdom of God, scattering the word like the seed, that’s when the things start to happen in our life. So, we have to scatter the seed. When we are walking like that and speaking the kingdom of God scattering the word like the seed that’s when the things start to happen in our life so, we have to scatter the seed. So it’s amazing how many people today (I’m talking the church not just the secular world) are walking with anxiety with fear, with just their complete life with so much turmoil and upset. I hear so many people have insomnia and they’re anxious and they’re worried, and they’re spinning and twisting in their mind but you see you know when we get the word, we speak the word is into our spirit all of a sudden, we start to calm down those and these things start to fade. Philippians 4:6,7 becomes real where it says ‘In everything presents your request before God, and the peace of God will surpass all the understanding and guard your heart and your mind in Christ.’ So you know when your bills are spinning you like crazy, getting money is not the answer. I mean you might solve it for a minute until you overspend the next time but that’s not the answer. The peace of God; that the word in us is what starts to transform us and take us out of that, you know? In Psalm 127:2 it says God gives good sleep to his beloved. There might be a few people around us who have insomnia or struggle to sleep at night. The answer is not medications that help you sleep; they cause more problems in your life. The answer is the word of God pouring into our spirit and when that starts to happen, all of a sudden as we speak the word and scatter the seed of the word even insomnia goes away and peace comes at night and the sleep comes. The anxiety goes away; This is the kingdom of God. When we wake up in the morning Psalm 63:1-3 says that we will ‘rise and see the glory and his power’ so what happens is that seed will sprout and start to grow up in you. The more word that is in you, the more peace is going to come, the more transformation going to come and more you will see grow up. The earth will bring forth its crop. So you know the bible says that a farmer will see the grain sprout up, and then you’re going to see the head, grain, crop and then you are going to harvest it. In Psalm 126:5,6 it says the man who sows with the tears will come back with the sheaves of the harvest saying ‘rejoice!’ You know what there’s a lot of sowing with tears for a long time but the time of joy is right in front of us, and we just continue to sow, and sow even with the tears. So we see in Hosea 10:12 it says what you sow in righteousness you’ll reap in mercy. We don’t focus on the harvest, we’re focus on the Kingdom of God, the word of God and the power of God. The Holy Spirit comes and we have to constantly be lifting and speaking the pure word of God. Acts 1 to 3 it says that when we’re constantly speaking the word of God, God says to us, ‘I have heard what you’ve spoken’ – this means God’s listening to every word we speak. In Deuteronomy 5: 28 it says that God himself will test you, to see if he’s believing my word, he’s preaching the gospel, he’s talking about the kingdom of God and demonstrating the power of God. We can bring pleasure to the heart of God. We saw Philip, who went to Samaria preaching the gospel speaking about the Kingdom of God. People were being saved, being healed, being delivered of demons and there was a great joy. In Luke 15:7 it says when one sinner repents there’s great joy around the throne of God. We need to be like Phillip. Remember we always talk about how we have to consider the ancient past. Jeremiah 6:16 asks us to see old way, and walk in it that it’ll be well for your weary soul. When we speak of the Kingdom of God, everything will start to happen. Apostle Paul says in Acts 19:8 says ‘I preached the kingdom of God’ and he says in Acts 20:25 ‘I preached the kingdom of God, now you can’t see me, but be good shepherds for the church’. And also in Acts 28:23 says he says again ‘I preached the Kingdom of God and persuaded people about Jesus Christ.’ So we have to say boldly about the coming Kingdom of God the presence of the Kingdom of Heaven. Paul said in I Corinthians 4:17,20 says the ‘Kingdom of God is not in word, but of power’ and Jesus said this in Mark 9:1 ‘the kingdom of God comes in power.’ So, we have the opportunity to have the boldness and the power to lift Jesus and speak the Kingdom of God. The Bible says in I Corinthians 6:9,10 and Galatians5:21, Ephesians 5:5, ‘We have to rectify people’s lives because many are walking in unrighteousness, fornication, uncleanliness, idolatry and covetousness.’ We have to rectify this because people can be doing all those things and they can sit in the pews, they can enter our church but with all that in their life, they cannot enter or inherit the Kingdom of God. So the key is, we have to be willing to rectify people’s lives, and the key is to speak the truth in love. If I didn’t say the truth in love, you will see nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care and how much Jesus cares. So we have to be careful. The bible says in II Peter 1:3,11 that the ‘entrance unto the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ will be opened abundantly when we turn people towards the kingdom of heaven by preaching the kingdom of God’. So we have to speak the pure word of God – whatever the difficulties in your life, instead of speaking the problem, what we have to do is speak the word of God and speak the kingdom. When we speak like that, we can uphold the testimony of Jesus Christ in our life. Revelation 1:9 says ‘I am a companion in the tribulation of the kingdom and the patience of Jesus Christ for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus’. We have to rise in our spirits in our soulish emotions. Amen. What is the supplication of the Holy Spirit? The supplication of the Holy Spirit, is the Holy Spirit comes and where we are not complete and he comes to complete us. We have to understand that the church is God’s plan for our redemption through Jesus Christ, and the supplication of the Holy Spirit. So we are the components of the church, and we are the body of Christ and the plan of God is for us to witness about the Kingdom of God, and that is our goal to walk in the power and witness for Jesus Christ. In Mathew 16:18,19 it says the ‘church is built upon the rock’ and he said ‘I have the keys to the door of the kingdom of heaven.’ Peter took the second key and he opened the door for the Jewish people Acts 2:38-42. And he took the second key to open the door for the gentiles which is at Cornelius’s house in Acts 10:34 -48. So, the church and the kingdom of God are interchangeable. So the church is in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven is in the church with power. The Church is filled with the Holy Spirit and resurrection power which is important to our lives. We can experience the Kingdom of Heaven now. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Which means it’s right nearby – not a long way off – it’s like- right in front of you! Mathew 13 say he shared in one chapter, the three parables. The first parable is wheat and the tares. The universal church of Jesus Christ is cultivating wheat and tares. A good percentage of time they are in the same place. As Christians we love everybody, what we do is we want them to get to the Kingdom of Heaven, so we hate the sin but we love the sinner. We have to love everybody and we have to boldly be willing to stand for what God stands. When I say speaking the Kingdom of God it means also living it. We have to live the kingdom of joy, peace, righteousness, power and love – that is the kingdom of God and that is when we can have the glory of God, and the power of God from eternity past to eternity future. The second thing is the Mustard seed and mustard plant. This is growing up from a plant and it grows into a tree with big branches and the birds are making their habitation – they’re nesting in the branches. So with churches a mustard plant and our branch full of birds, a lot of times we lose our divine perspective. We become more like that tree with branches with a whole lot of people nesting in the branches but is not producing any food or any fruit; Walking in the kingdom of God without the divine is useless. We have to understand that we are to bear fruit and bearing fruit is the power and the glory, demonstrating the power and the glory of the Kingdom of God and pointing to people towards the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen. The third parable is the Leaven and the Lump. The leaven that infiltrated the whole lump, the leaven in the lump is the good news and the bad news. If we’re reflecting on Jesus Christ, the leaven that we are will impact the lump of everybody around us – and it’s going to bring us towards the Kingdom of God. This is what the Lord gave me to explain the difference and show how we speak the word and walk. So, I want to encourage you that the Kingdom of God is from eternity past to the glory and the power of God, revealed from eternity past to eternity future. When we pray for people and somebody gets delivered or somebody gets healed, what that the power of God revealed and when God gives word, he reveals the power of God, revealed from eternity past eternity now and eternity future. That’s is the kingdom of God. So we want to walk in the Kingdom of God. We can have a powerful impact on the Kingdom of God when we start to understand these things, and we start to have the Kingdom and divine perspective in our lives. When we understand the prophets and apostles and what they through, and what God spoke to them, then automatically as we put Jesus in it, then it starts to transform our life. The demonic spirits whether it be fear, worry, anxiety all these things and confusions start to depart, and then we get the clarity, along with prayer. All of a sudden our life starts changing, what we’re trying to do is ignite a fire of the Holy Spirit in whoever is hungry and thirsty, so that they can bring the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere.
We can talk about healing for few minutes in Psalms 107:20 “He will send his word and heal you” In proverbs 3:8 and Proverbs 4:22 it says that his ‘word is healing to your bones and healing to your body’. So when we hear the word it will go forth and will touch their spirit and they get healed. Jesus is the word Revelation 19:13, John 1:1. So we have to understand Isaiah 53:1 says ‘whose report do you believe?’ The report of the world or the report of the Jesus? We just have to believe Jesus. Hebrew 11:6 says ‘Apart from faith we can’t believe God’ we must believe and we have to surrender to God. Mathew 8:17 He said ‘I died for your sickness and disease’, I peter 2:24 ‘I bore your curse’. That caused miracles and there is healing. III John 2 says ‘beloved you will prosper in all matters, as your soul prospers’. How many times do people have bitterness in their heart, and then say ‘I forgive them’, then I pray and instantly they will heal? We have to figure out what’s going on. Our Holy Spirit, the Lord – the more we can surrender to him, the more we walk in Jesus. God will teach how to stand and fight. If you have the gift of healing, when you grow in the fruit of the spirit it activated the gift of spirit. That gift activates healing. God has a plan and purpose in everything. He doesn’t bring your sickness, but he will use it for your good and his glory Romans 2:11. God is not a respecter of persons, so what he does for someone else he will do it for you. Amen. Deuteronomy 7:13-15 I heal you because I Love you, he says in Isaiah 53:4,5 I was pierced for your transgressions bruised for your iniquity by my wounds you are healed, So the Kingdom of God is at your Hand.
Blessing prayer:
Thank you God for the things that you have done tonight, for the testimonies that we will hear from the things that have happened. Pour out your Spirit Lord Jesus, on each of your children. Bless them and take them from glory to glory. In the Word of God you said Lord Jesus Christ Isaiah 45:23 ‘you have sworn by yourself, your word has gone out in righteousness it will not return void’. As we planted the seed, of the word of God in each one of these children of God, let them see the victory and the freedom in the name of Jesus Christ. God may the love of the Father, God the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship in you the Holy Spirit rest upon every child of God Amen!
