Heaven is a
Kingdom, but the message of the kingdom is not about us going to heaven.
Matthew 6:9-13 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
(11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (13) And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
“FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN”
- Do
not address God as though being on earth when you pray.
- He is
in HEAVEN.
- The
unseen realm.
- Not
far, just the next realm.
- When
you die you immediately are there.
But He is in HEAVEN not here.
- WE
ARE HERE.
- That
is why we pray for His KINGDOM OF HEAVEN to come here.
- “WILL”
in “THY WILL BE DONE” is the same Greek term as PURPOSE.
- THE
ORIGINAL INTENT – the intent God had for man when he created him
saying let him have dominion on the earth.
- Everytime
you pray, pray for his original purpose to be done in earth.
- That
is what Jesus was trying to instill within his disciples.
- It is
not earth going to heaven.
- It’s
not “Get me out of here God! Rapture me away, or all I am
concerned with is when I die I want to go to heaven.”
- It is
for HIS KINGDOM COME here to earth.
We were not meant to die and be forever in heaven.
- A
resurrection is going to bring us back into physical bodies again we
will use to rule over the world and never die again, as Adam was meant
to do.
Even Jesus is not staying in Heaven.
Acts 3:21 KJV Whom the heaven must receive until the
times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth
of all his holy prophets since the world began.
John Baptist, Jesus preached Kingdom, Paul, Moses, David, and Isaiah
(kingdom have no end and on his shoulders), Daniel.
They left Egypt and gathered to hear first instruction from God –
Exodus 19:3-6 KJV And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called
unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house
of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; (4) Ye have seen
what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and
brought you unto myself. (5) Now therefore, if ye will obey
my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
(6) And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy
nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of
Israel.
Tell them they are a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS and HOLY NATION.
- Adam
was first creation, and Adam was the kingdom on earth.
- Adam
committed treason, and another rules earth, Lucifer.
- Lucifer
rules kingdom of darkness.
- Then
Abraham was called.
- God
would make ABRAHAM A GREAT NATION to bless the NATIONS (Gen 12).
- He
lost the nation of ADAM.
- Saved
the nation named NOAH.
- And
redeem nations through ABRAHAM.
- And
the NATION from Abraham would redeem the NATIONS.
- Why
would God bless Abraham and why make a great nation?
- Because…
all nations be blessed through him.
- God
is after the nations.
- Abraham
is not the goal – a means.
- Abe
is the conduit to provide a seed to produce a nation.
Isaac is the son.
- Then
Jacob comes and 12 sons come.
- ISRAEL
is the nation.
- Joseph
goes to Egypt and preserves the nation that would bless the nations.
- Then
they are in bondage in Egypt.
- God
frees them.
- 430
years later to the day God sends Moses to rescue the nation to bless
the nations.
- Then
they enter the wilderness.
- COME
TO SINAI AND A GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT IS GIVE: NOW, if you OBEY ME,
then of all the nations YOU be my treasure – a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS.
KINGDOM of PRIESTS.
- KINGDOM
refers to rulership.
- KING
DOM – dom refers to domain.
- King
is a ROYAL POSITION.
- PRIESTS
are not kings.
- PRIESTS
are spiritual representatives of God.
- Ministers
SPIRITUAL things.
God intended ADAM to be both king and priest.
- In
same person.
- Adam
had no king or priest, since he was both.
- He
had the capacity of administration to rule and spiritual capacity to
interact with God.
This is lost and Noah is raised like a new Adam.
- He
wants a priest with a crown.
Zechariah
6:13 KJV Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall
bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be
a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between
them both.
Governments today separate the two until the church is afraid of
KINGSHIP.
Separation of church and state is separation of priest and king.
- We
have leaders making decisions without spiritual advice.
- David
was a WORSHIPER – the only King God said would have the throne
Jesus sits on was THIS WORSHIPER.
- Priest
(danced with linen Ephod, ministered with harp) and a King!
- Wrote
WORSHIP BOOK PSALMS.
Matthew 3:1-2 KJV In those days came John the Baptist, preaching
in the wilderness of Judaea, (2) And saying, Repent ye: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matt 3 John preached KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
- Mark
1:14-15. Good news of God is not going to heaven.
Mar 1:14 PHILLIPS 14-15 It was after John's arrest that Jesus
came into Galilee, proclaiming the Gospel of God, saying, "The time has
come at last - the kingdom of God has arrived. You must change your
hearts and minds and believe the good news."
Matt 10:7-8 PHILLIPS As you go proclaim that the kingdom of
Heaven has arrived. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers,
drive out devils - give, as you have received, without any charge
whatever.
John 16:33 KJV These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Luke 12:31-32 KJV But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all
these things shall be added unto you. (32) Fear not, little
flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Jesus said to the little flock to not be afraid, since they cannot
overcome them if they did not overcome Him.
Matthew 11:11-13 KJV Verily I say unto you, Among them that are
born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater
than he. (12) And from the days of John the Baptist until
now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it
by force. (13) For all the prophets and the law prophesied
until John.
Matthew 11:12 Phillips NT (12) Times New Roman;;12-15 "From
the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven has been
taken by storm and eager men are forcing their way into it. For the Law
and all the prophets foretold it till the time of John and - if you can
believe it - John himself is the 'Elijah' who must come before the
kingdom. The man who has ears to hear must use them.
WUEST: Indeed, from the days of John the Baptizer until this
moment, the kingdom of heaven is being taken by storm, and the strong
and forceful ones claim it for themselves eagerly, for all the prophets
and the law prophesied until John. And assuming that you would be
disposed to receive the following favorably he himself is Elijah, he
who is about to come. He who has ears, let him be hearing.
From John til the day Jesus spoke, the kingdom suffered violence.
- From
Abe to John the KINGDOM WAS ABSENT.
- John
not in it.
- Other
prophets spoke of king to come and kingdom, but John actually
introduced the King who brought the kingdom.
- John
SAW IT.
- John
was the last one outside it.
- FROM
JOHN ONWARD people are getting into it!
- So
least in Kingdom is greater than John.
- He
only saw Spirit come on Jesus, but later all others had it come INTO
them.
You are greater than Moses, David, Abraham, Daniel, Isaiah…
From days of John til day Jesus preached, KINGDOM was forcefully
advancing.
- A
Takeover going on since John.
- Only
ones taken over know about it.
- The
KINGDOM TOOK US OVER!
- Invaded
our hearts.
- Made
us forcefully-advancing humans.
- When
you understand the kingdom YOU ADVANCE FORCEFULLY.
- Because
the thing in us is greater than the world.
John 1:5 ESV The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
has not overcome it.
Before John it’s like they rolled over and played dead.
- But
we advance forcefully.
- It
advances through problems and overcomes, instead of running away.
Pressure wakes the kingdom up and causes it to show its real colours
under pressure.
We’re not “kingdom” yet if we are pushed around by
life.
Mark 1:14 KJV Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came
into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
AFTER John is in prison, then Jesus BEGAN proclaiming KINGDOM IS HERE.
- Once
John is out of the way.
- Kingdom
could not come when John was present, since he was OT prophet.
- We do
not read Herod put John in prison and Jesus stopped Herod from slaying
him, since John was holding it all back.
- God
turned Herod’s sword of evil into GOOD!
Herod caused there to be raised up people greater than Elijah!
- Herod
tried to shut John up, but made way for MILLIONS GREATER!
Acts 1:3 Complete Apostles' Bible (3) to whom He also
presented Himself alive after His suffering by many convincing proofs,
appearing to them during forty days and speaking of the things
concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:8 Complete Apostles' Bible (8) And he entered into
the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, debating and
persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 28:30-31 Complete Apostles' Bible (30) Then Paul
remained two full years in his own rented house, and he was receiving
all those who were coming to him, (31) preaching the
kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ
with all boldness, without hindrance.
Paul preached 3 months about KINGDOM.
John 3:1-5 Phillips NT 1-2 One night Nicodemus, a leading Jew and
a Pharisee, came to see Jesus. "Master," he began, "we realise that you
are a teacher who has come from God. Obviously no one could show the
signs that you show unless God were with him."
(3) 3 "Believe me," returned Jesus, "a man cannot even see
the kingdom of God without being born again."
(4) 4 "And how can a man who's getting old possibly be
born?" replied Nicodemus. "How can he go back into his mother's womb
and be born a second time?"
(5) ;5-8 "I assure you," said Jesus, "that unless a man is
born from water and from spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit gives birth to spirit: you must
not be surprised that I told you that all of you must be born again.
The wind blows where it likes, you can hear the sound of it but you
have no idea where it comes from and where it goes. Nor can you tell
how a man is born by the wind of the Spirit."
The overall plan of God from Genesis was to have MAN RULE WORLD.
- God
gave it not to angels nor anything else.
- JUST
MAN.
- Man
is spirit, soul and body.
- God
is Spirit.
- Animals
are soul and body.
- But
MAN has both the SPIRIT and BODY required to be conduit for HIS KINGDOM
to pass from invisible to visible.
You must be born IN THE WORLD of A WOMAN AND THEN BE BORN OF
GOD’S SPIRIT ON EARTH.
- ANGELS
cannot get into it.
- You
need a BODY and you need the SPIRIT OF GOD.
- ADAM
KEPT HIS body but lost the SPIRIT Contact.
- Jesus
died since it was a HOLY Spirit that had to get in us, and the blood
washed our sins.
1 John 4:1-3 Complete Apostles' Bible (1) Beloved, do not
believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God;
because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
(2) By this the Spirit of God is known: Every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
(3) and every spirit which does not confess that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the
Antichrist, which you have heard that it is coming, and now is already
in the world.
Satan will not confess Jesus CAME IN FLESH.
Mark 5:7 Complete Apostles' Bible (7) and crying out with a
great voice he said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!"
Matthew 4:3-4 Complete Apostles' Bible (3) And approaching
Him, the tempter said, "If You are the Son of God, speak so that these
stones may become bread." (4) But He answered and said, "It
is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceeds out of the mouth of God.' "
He will not sit while MAN rules, and he got Adam out of the picture.
- Satan
is in fits over MAN ruling this earth.
- Adam
was his target.
- He
was cast out of heaven and heard about man in God’s image to rule
the earth and knew man would cast him out of earth, too!
- But
Jesus came and satan could not get Him.
- Satan
hates the thought of MAN ruling over him in the world.
- Devils
would only call Jesus SON OF GOD, but not SON OF MAN.
Satan’s last resort is to distance us in our minds as far from
Jesus as He can, so we do not grasp the KINGDOM authority we have and
deal with him.
Without a body you are illegal.
- Jesus
told satan, “MAN shall not live by bread alone.”
- Satan
attacked and asked if he was “SON OF GOD.”
- Jesus
answered saying he was a MAN!
- Not
just GOD.
- Jesus’
favourite title was SON OF MAN - 85 verses in NT.
- 45
for SON OF GOD.
