The Kingdom of God is Within You: What did Jesus mean? | KINGDOM POWER GLORY CONFERENCE

Transcript
If his kingdom was to be in the midst of you, would you recognize it? You're like, well, Peter, we've talked about this for 24 hours. Of course we would recognize it. Well, be careful, because there was a lot of highly religious people in the first century who everyone else thought, if anyone was going to make it into the kingdom of God, it's going to be these guys. And the kingdom of God jumped right over their heads. It's almost like Yeshua emphatically skipped them by and walked up to some fishermen who knew nothing about nothing, and he uplifted the least. And so for us, let us consider ourselves the least when it comes to the things of his kingdom. Let us say, father, teach me, what role do I have in your kingdom? Brothers and sisters, we live in a world right now, a generation that's perhaps the most distracted generation that's ever lived on this earth. And we see within our brothers and sisters, even in Christianity, the same, a very distracted people. And this is why I personally, I'm so concerned at times about whether we truly all understand his kingdom. There are two kingdoms in this world, a kingdom of darkness. The kingdom of this world, the Kingdom of light of our God, and the Kingdom of light of our God, is a kingdom that empowers us from on high and that glorifies his name. But the kingdom of this world is the one whereby men empower themselves and attempt to strengthen themselves and labor from their own strength unto death for their own glory. The world teaches, accumulate, consume, climb. Even in religious circles, we see this, and you will become like a God. And yet the kingdom of God instead of accumulate says give, instead of consume says, have self control. And instead of climb says, consider everyone else as greater than yourself. The kingdom of God teaches that you have been made in the image of your father. See, Yeshua was in the wilderness, and the Hasatan came to him in Matthew 4. 8. Again the devil took him to a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him, all these I will give to you if you bow down to me. Then Yeshua said to him, begone, Satan, for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. Do you recognize that this world is attainable? The riches and wealth and everything the world promises that will make you happy is attainable. Satan says to Yeshua, here it is, you can have it. But Yeshua was not interested in the things of this world. Are you. Are you interested in this kingdom of this world? Because you cannot serve two masters. You can only focus on one. Because the moment you take your eyes off the Kingdom of God, your eyes are set on another kingdom. It's just how it is. The kingdom of God must be what we immerse ourselves with. Yeshua spoke to Pilate just before his crucifixion in the days leading up to it. And he said to Pilate, my kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom was of this world, my servants would be fighting to release me. But my kingdom is not of this world. See, Yeshua isn't interested in this world. He's interested in bringing his kingdom down. That's why we pray, let your kingdom come down on earth as it is in heaven. And if that's his prayer that his kingdom would come down, that should tell us that Jesus is not here to compete with Caesar or Trump. He's not here to even compete for your attention with social media or whatever else it is you're keeping yourself busy with. He is the king. He is coming with his kingdom whether you are ready or not. Years ago I remember I was. I had a friend, she was a teenager at that time, 18, 19 years old. And she was driving home with her friends to her parents house. And on the way a car from the other side of the road on the highway came and lost control, struck them head on. She perished. After the burial, her parents invited me over to their house. They asked me to baptize her sister. For her sister had now given her life to the Lord. In light of what has happened to her sister and I will never forget looking into the eyes of the father, I cannot imagine the tragedy is something that I cannot imagine. I cannot fathom it. I cannot understand it. I could see it in his eyes, but I cannot understand it. But at the same time I saw the hope of salvation as repentance was being manifested in his heart because of what had happened to his daughter. For he had suddenly realized that his own child had preceded him. The worst thing that any parent can imagine had happened to him. And now he has seen that he will be next face to face with the Lord. I ask of you that you would not wait for such a disaster to need to come upon your life to get your attention. For you are just a few breaths away from seeing the Lord in His glory and in his kingdom. And as for now, he has come and given you his kingdom in a different way which we'll speak about now. But what are you going to do with it? And do you even recognize it in your own life? Never mind out there. We spoke about this a little earlier, but I believe it's important to remind Luke 17:20, the Pharisees come to Yeshua. And he said, the Pharisees and everyone else, they're. They're. They're a little confused about Yeshua because you say you're the Messiah. You say you're the king of. You're someone who. So where's your kingdom? And he, of course, replies to them, my kingdom is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor it's going to be here or there, but my kingdom is within. You see, his first coming was all about establishing his kingdom in his people. And his second coming will be all about establishing his kingdom upon the earth. And it is so important for us to understand this kingdom, because even today, people are struggling because their whole view of what it means to be a believer is impacted. Some are saying he has now already returned. The second coming has already happened because we do not understand his kingdom. We read in Matthew 16:28, Yeshua speaks truly. I say to you, there are some standing here speaking to his disciples and all the rest present who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. And so we read this, and we get confused. Does this mean that Yeshua must have come back before they perished? You know the Book of Luke, Chapter 9. Luke speaks of the exact same account of Yeshua. And he repeats the words, and he says it this way. But truly, I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God. Both retelling the words of Yeshua, both focused on what Yeshua said, that it is when his you will not perish until you see the kingdom of God come. And how does the kingdom come but by the coming of the Son? How does the kingdom of God come but if the king brings it? And so how has he brought it? We see, in the first century, Yeshua comes first to establish his authority. He says to the people, if you see me cast out demons by the Spirit of God, the kingdom of God has come upon you. The kingdom of God has come upon you. It has happened. When you see me cast out a devil and set a captive person free, that is the sign for you that you know. And then he goes to his disciples, of course, and he speaks to them, as you all very well know. He gives them authority over all disease, over demons. And he says to them, Luke 9. Two, he sent him out to proclaim the kingdom of God. And then the next chapter, Luke 10, right he comes and he goes to the 72. He tells him the same, go out into the cities and the highways and byways. And then he says in verse nine, heal the sick and say to those in the cities, the kingdom of God has come upon you. Has the kingdom of God come? Has Yeshua come? And so those who were standing there, surely they did not perish until they saw it in their day. Hallelujah. 2000 years ago it happened. And so what of today, we see now Yeshua arrives in his kingdom through his people. And notice that every time that he says to them, the kingdom of God has come upon you, or proclaim to the others that the kingdom of God has come upon you, he says, this is said when there is a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit. When you heal the sick, say the kingdom of God has come upon you. When you cast out a demon, say the kingdom of God has come upon you. So you cannot separate the kingdom of God from the power of God, from the glory of God. When you separate the power of God from the kingdom of God, who is your king if he has no power? Is he even God at all? Is our God God if he has no power, Is he not like the mute dumb idols? No, he is alive. He has power. And we must live a life after him. Speaking, living in the kingdom, speaking of the kingdom that has come in, power in and through us today. That is what he has given us. This December, me and my wife and Dawson. Dawson is here in the room as well somewhere. And one of my friends from South Africa, we were in South Africa. I want to tell you a short story. We were on the beaches in Mossel Bay, South Africa, just speaking to people about Yeshua. And on the way home, back to the parking lot, we are thinking like, we're done. Which is always, you know, just when you think you're done. We walked through this square where there's a ton of people. This is December in South Africa. This is high holiday season. Everyone's there enjoying the beach and everything. And we walk by, there's a crowd of people who assembled, which we did not see when we walked by the first time. And it's a church. They're there, they're just praising and they're just worshiping the Father just there openly. And we're stopping there, like, wow, this is cool. This is interesting. We're just looking, we're watching them. And the pastor or leader, he walks up to us and he's just like, you know who. You know, who are you guys? And we just start talking with them. I ask him the question. I'll say, hey, look, is there anyone in your group who needs prayer? Is there anyone in your church group? Here you guys are worshiping God. That's amazing. Any illness, anything wrong? And he says, okay, I don't know. Well, I'll go and ask. So he runs back to them, and he's like, okay, hey, guys, there's this. You know, there's this guy. He's asking, does any of you need prayer? And so a lady comes up, a young lady. She says, okay, no, I have this neck issue. My shoulders are killing me. That kind of thing. Okay, we'll pray for her. Father, I thank you for freedom in her neck, her shoulders. Father, we speak to all of that pain, and we command her to leave. Lord, I thank you for your love for her. Amen. And she's, like, immediately shocked because even though she's a believer, of course she was shocked that it actually happened, right? Because let's be honest, it's like, if it's never happened to you, it's like she's like, guys, this is actually gone. This is actually. I actually like. And she doesn't. It's, you know, just. Just can't understand it. And immediately, another lady, an older lady, is attracted and drawn by this one of her congregants, her fellow congregants, who is also there, is drawn. She comes and she says, hey, can you pray for me? But look, I have a serious issue, because this is how we think, isn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's. That's a. Yeah. I've heard a lot of testimonies about the easy stuff. I've heard that so many times. Guys, when God moves, God has moved. Okay? But I get it. She. So I asked her, what's up? She says, no, look, during the COVID pandemic, I got the virus, and I got paralyzed from here on down, waist down. I lost feeling, I got weakness, all that. I went to the neurologists. They told me, okay, look, sometimes we've seen this happen. The virus starts attacking the neurological system in the body, and we have these effects. And so she was bedridden for a long time. She started getting a little better over time, over years, where she could start, you know, walking again, things like that. But she's still very weak from here on down. She still has no feeling and the feet and so on. And so, okay, yeah, let's pray. See, I do not see it differently. And I know this is a challenge for us. We should not see this differently because he is the one who empowers. It is not of my power. It is not of what I can do. And so, Father, I thank you, Lord. We just speak to her legs, Father. We speak to her feet. Thank you for bringing the. For feeling back and the numbness to go. In the name of Yeshua, Amen. And so we pray once, we pray twice. And she, the. She says, well, the numbness, it's going down. But she tells me this. She says, look, do you know why I really want to get healed? What's up? She says, look, I'm a worshiper. I love to worship the Father. That's why we're here today. I'm part of. Because I want to worship the Father, and I want to worship the Father. I could. I always used to jump and worship him through jumping and just like, expressive worship. And I haven't been able to do that ever since I got sick. And the compassion of God just lands on my heart, right? It says in the scriptures, Yeshua looked upon the crowds with compassion. That is the kingdom of God. And so, okay, let's pray one more time. And I pray for her. And she's like, okay, look. She says, look, this is the test. And all of her congregants are there, right? This is the test. I haven't been able to jump in three years. She bends her knees and she jumps and she jumps. And as she comes down, her eyes are full of tears and she starts jumping and worshiping and praising the Lord. And her congregants are praising the Lord because they know this better than me. Her son stands right next to her. His mouth is hanging open. I'm crying. She's crying. We're all a mess. And she starts. She's so excited. She just started telling me again. No, you don't understand. She already told me, but she's telling me again. You don't understand. Three years ago, she says the whole thing again. And this lady off the street who's on the side like, there, she's not part of the group, but she's, you know, there's a lot of people on the side here. She's there, she says, and as this lady's telling me, she runs up, this strange lady off the street. She's like, I've seen. I saw this happen from afar, but testify to me. Tell me what has happened to you now. And she started all over again. She just praise God. She just says the whole thing over again. And Dawson actually just told me last night after when we started Leaving. She was on Instagram Live or something, telling her social media guys, I just got healed. All glory to the Father. It is all his glory. It is all his glory. But that is the kingdom of God. That is. That is a kingdom that he is bringing about. See, she thought she was going to go and worship the Lord. And yes, she did. But she never imagined how she would. Hallelujah. So, brothers and sisters, here's my question to you tonight. We all know the story of Acts Chapter two. We understand what it meant. Or do we? If we look at the early church, and even before that, since the time of Abraham. Let's just think about that period up to the day before Acts Chapter two. I mean, Yeshua speaks and he says to his disciples, look, there's coming a time wait in Jerusalem. And so they're during this counting of the Omer, they're counting down the days until this day of Shavuot. They're not even fully sure probably what's going to happen. So there's something that's about to happen. Of course. The Holy Spirit lands on the heads of the people. They speak in tongues. 3,000 are baptized. Peter gets up and quench Joel. But what does it mean for us, like today? What's the difference between a believer who lived the day before Acts 2 and the believer who lived the day after Acts 2? Truly, because sometimes in the body of Christ, I think we don't know. When we look at our lives, can we truly say that we're living as if something did happen that day? Or are we just living the ways that those who came before, who only looked forward to that, where Moses said, oh, how I long for the day where all of God's people would be prophets. That's what Moses said. Moses longed for the day. Some of us are longing for the days of Moses. Some. No, Moses longed for this day. He wanted all to take part in what the Father started giving him. And so to answer your question, or the question that I set up of what does it mean? Well, it's what happened in Acts 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 and so on and so on, where we see how Peter gets a vision, where God tells him, cornelius, you need to go to Cornelius, go with these men. He goes to Cornelius household. He speaks to them. And the Spirit of God just falls upon that household of Gentiles and they speak in tongues. Or what about when Peter and John walked and there's a layman and a homeless man, a beggar he says, I don't have silver and gold, but this I have rise up and walk. Or what about when Philip was on the road and he finds the eunuch and he preaches the kingdom of the Lord to him, and the eunuch says, what prevents me? And he gets baptized and Peter vanishes out of thin air and the eunuch praises God for it. These aren't just stories. These are things for this day to be right in front of you, within you, every day. Let it become your reality. Let the Lord do it within you. Let his kingdom come. Truly, that's what we're praying for. Let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. That's what we're praying for. Do you know that? Do you understand that? And do you take that responsibility of what you're praying for? What does it help? I lift holy hands and pray, but I don't actually step out and fight for what I'm praying for. So my question to you is, who are you in the kingdom of God? Now, when I say that some of you, your hearts may sink. And you're like, well, Peter, you just talked to me about Peter. You just talked to me about Philip. You talked these big stories, you know, maybe you've heard some of the other amazing speakers, share amazing testimonies. And it's like, you know, I don't have that kind of power. You know, When Peter told the man, I don't have silver and gold, but this I do rise up and walk, you know what happened thereafter? It's written that the crowd started staring at him and it made Peter uncomfortable. Let me read it to you. Acts 3:11. And while the man clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomons. And when Peter saw it, he addressed the people, saying, this men of Israel, why do you wonder at this? Or why do you stare at us as though by our own power and. And holiness we have made him walk? How many times, without even realizing it, have we thought, well, that's that guy's holiness. That's that guy's power. It must have been Peter. He was specially holy, specially powerful, specially different. That's why God used him. It was Peter. Something about Peter and Peter corrects the crowds. He says, guys, stop staring at us. But yet some of us are still staring at Peter with a blank stare. We're staring at Philip, we're staring at Stephen with a blank stare, failing to recognize what Peter was really saying. Here. It was not by Our own power and our holiness. It was by his power. For his is the kingdom, his is the power and his is the glory. For if it was our power, it would be our glory, but it is not. It is his power and it is his glory. Do you not see that when you depend on yourself, you depend on your own power? When you. When you rely on yourself and your heart fails you, it's because you're depending on your own power and strength? That's not the kingdom of God. That's your kingdom. That's what the world's kingdoms do. They build their own thing by their own strength. This kingdom is different. It's built by the kingdom of God, by the king, his spirit in us, through us. That is freedom. When you realize that, when this clicks, it's freedom because it's. There's a lady standing in front of me. She had Covid. She was. She's had paralysis for years in her legs. And what am I supposed to do about this? That's a fair question. Bigger, better question is what is too big for the Lord? And so when I ask you, who are you in the kingdom of God? I don't want you to think about a preacher on the stage. I don't want you to think about someone who's doing a podcast with his wife talking about the Bible. I don't want you to think about the next best selling theological book, authority, praise God for all of those things. But I think we need to consider who is a somebody to God, because that is someone who is a somebody in his kingdom. Let me tell you who's a somebody to God. The mother who gives a drink to a man who is poor. The child who looks up and beholds the glory of God as these who are worshiping in the front did. A father who becomes an advocate for those who have no voice. This is the kingdom of God. This is his power. This is his glory. This is the kingdom of God. This is his power. This is his glory. And so I. And this is where I was going, to me and Tom. The Spirit has spoken to us both, I believe, because. So Tom mentioned Stephen, he was one of those, as Tom mentioned, who was a man who was appointed to look after widows and those were who needed to be fed to serve tables. Because the apostles that those who were teaching, they had. They were. They had their hands full, they were busy, they were important, they were teaching. That's fine. So they couldn't do everything. So they appointed these men, they appointed Stephen and a man called Philip. Philip, I'm Just going to take a. It's not in the Bible, but I'm just going to guess that Philip was a weak man, a man like me, an ordinary man. He was not an apostle. He was not a. He was also not a prophet or a pastor or any of those titles that we like to attribute to great men. He's an ordinary man. And as he's there, I imagine him. Just come with me for a moment. He's there in the early church. He's. They have their food that they're giving to widows and those who have nothing, the poor. May the Lord bless you. Here's. Here's something for you. May the Lord bless you. This is from our Lord and Savior. He has shed his blood for you to eat today. He has. He has come and he has changed us so that we can come and feed you. This is his kingdom. This is his power. This is his glory. And then suddenly I read of Philip how he has these daughters who are prophetesses. And then suddenly I read of Philip, how is he, how he's in Samaria healing the sick, casting out demons, proclaiming the kingdom of God has come upon you. And many were saved. It is written, the apostles even travel down because they heard of it. They comment what is happening, and they help in the ministry. They appointed him to serve tables, and the Father lifted him high. Brothers and sisters, let us no longer compare ourselves in that manner as an excuse to others, saying, I can't be used like that, or that, or that person I read about in the Bible because I don't have the title. The Lord is looking for men and women of God who can serve tables, who can bless the poor, who can. Who can lay hands on the sick and see them recover, who can cast out the demon, who can proclaim the kingdom of God has come upon you. And so now I want to. With that, as I conclude here, I want you to be cautious, because as these things were happening and many were witnessing these things, we see, for example, Paul. It's written how the handkerchiefs touched him. And then when it was laid on someone else, the demons left them and they were healed of their diseases. So people saw these things and they were like, well, this. There's great glory, obviously, with this poor guy. He has some power. There's something about him. And so the sons of Sceva come along and they say, okay, well, let's go after the demons with this. And we're like, okay, we assure you, in the name of Jesus, who Paul proclaims, come out. And it's written that the demons speak back and say to them, well, yeah, Paul, we know Jesus, we know, but who are you? And it's written that they were. They were jumped, they were mastered, overpowered, and they were left running naked. See, if you are a somebody in the kingdom of God, the demons leave. If you are a nobody in the kingdom of God, the demons master you. And it is not about your power. It is about who you know. Paul was no one special besides for who he knew and who knew him, the Father. So let us not be a people who say, well, look, I'm going to just slap in the name of Jesus at the end. And that's going to do it as if it's. Or some formula. We can study all the formulas, study all the ways of praying and, and all the. How do we do spiritual warfare. Okay, there's this prophet and all these things, don't get me wrong. But sometimes we want the formula, the words, the prayer, what do I say? And sometimes it's about the fact that you know him truly and he knows you. We don't want to be a people who depend on someone else's faith before God, as they did with Paul. We don't want to come and rely on our mom or our dad or husband or our wife and be like, I'm just going to ride along with their faith. I'm just going to, you know, we're talking about the kingdom of God. I'm just going to. I'm just going to kind of go along with what they are doing and believing. The Father is calling you and you and you and you and you and you and all of you. To, as Tom so eloquently said, to go into your room, close the door behind you, to get on your knees, to get with the Father, speak to him in secret. And your Father, who sees you in secret will reward you. That is what it is to know him. And the kingdom of God does not come about in any other way. We do not want to be like the foolish virgins who said at the last hour, let me borrow some of your oil, for mine is running out. That means I had oil at some point and it started running out. And so we can think, I'm religious, I'm coming to Sabbath, I'm doing all this stuff. But is your oil running out or is your lamp full? You know what a lamp does? It brings light. What is the purpose of a lamp but to put it on a stand and it gives light to a whole room and all the darkness scatters. That means that if you do not walk in your kingdom purpose, you put your lamp under a basket, you hide it, there's no use to have oil. You even forget whether you have enough or not. It's just. But when you know you're attending to your lamp because it's so important, this light needs to keep shining. I need. Do I have enough? Yes. Okay. It's shining. It's shining. It's shining because you're focused on the kingdom of God, the light on the hill that he's called you to be. That's the person who's going to have the oil of the Holy Spirit full. That's going to be the person who sees the door open. And you're going to enter in with confidence because you have prepared the way for the king as his second king, as his kingdom arrives with his second coming. And so, brothers, sisters, as I conclude here, and as we start concluding this beautiful time we've had at this conference, I don't want you, and I believe I speak for all of the speakers. We do not want you to think of all we have spoken of as just another new thing. We are in a world and in a. Even in the body of Christ. At times, it's. We're just running after the next new thing, the next cool thing. What's. What's hip, what the next teacher is saying, that it's tickling ears. People are going to and fro, looking for something to excite their souls. The kingdom of God is not the next new thing. It is the kingdom of God. He is the king of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Israel. He is our king. He is the king of the world. Whether they know it or not. His kingdom will be established. Will you be a part of it today? That is my question. And so now I. Can we all stand up? If you're able to stand. Can you, if you have a Bible, please turn with me to 1 Chronicles 29:10. And we're going to pray. It's not going to be my prayer. We're going to pray a prayer of David. As far as I can see, this is his last prayer before. Last prayer as king of Israel. And I want you to pray with me aloud. Okay? Therefore, David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said, blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel, our Father forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty for all that's in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might. And in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. But who am I and what is my people that we should be thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you and of your own have we given you? For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow and there is no abiding. O Lord our God. All this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own. I know, my God, that you test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart, I have freely offered all these things. And now I have seen your people who are present here offering freely and joyously to you. O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people and direct their hearts towards you. Everything that we have to offer him as us becoming the temple of God, as us sanctifying ourselves for his purposes, to become a living sacrifice. That is all from Him. And now we are to devote, and this is my call to you tonight. Let us devote our temples for him as a living sacrifice. Let us surrender our idols. Let us surrender our ambitions. Let us surrender the things that we have placed before him, his name, the things that we have placed where his kingdom ought to be in our life. Let us be the light on the lampstand. Let us become the loving waters of our king. Let us become the ones who proclaim the kingdom of God has come upon you. And so now, just as we're standing, can I ask you a favor? For the purposes of God's kingdom, to be bold, can I ask you to go here and there to the highways and byways and be bold like Stephen, like Philip, like Peter and the rest were? And could that boldness even start right now? Who is sick, raise your hand. Who's got any sickness, Raise it high, please. Raise it high. Who has any sickness, illness, pain, physically, emotionally, trauma, hurt, anguish of any sort, raise your hand high, please. And everyone else is standing. Look around. I want you to identify every person right now. Who's got a raised hand, raise it high for us, please. Look, identify, please. Pray for us, brother. Thank you. I appreciate you. And I want you to go to these people, these individuals, and let us Pray for one another in faith, for the kingdom of God is within you. If you want the kingdom of God in your life, if you want to let the kingdom of God manifest through you like you have heard this whole weekend. If you want more, come forward, God, we lift up this conference that all the seats that have gone out, Lord, I pray, Lord, that we would not just hear, but this would transform, that we would become a generation of action. Lord, when we walk, Father, let the demons tremble because somebody of the kingdom of God has walked into the room. When we walk into a room, let the sickness tremble. When we walk into a room, Father, let us have the boldness to say silver and gold I do not have but rise, Father. I pray, Lord, that you would upon these who are coming forward, Lord, just with their own humble hearts to serve. I pray, Father, you would meet them. Help us to, Father, be a light to those who are in need. Those who you went to, Yeshua, you went to the dark places. Those who are who are the sinners. Those who are the outcasts. Give us that heart. Give us a brokenness for the nations. The brokenness that you had in your heart for your people as you looked upon them as sheep without a shepherd. Give us that heart for them. And Holy Spirit, this is your time. I pray that you would now speak, that you would now prophesy, that you would speak loudly to each one here about their calling, about their future, about the kingdom, their role in your kingdom. Holy Spirit, have your way. Spirit. Break out Heaven. Come down, Spirit. Break out. Break our walls down, Spirit. Break out Heaven. Come down, Spirit. Break out.
Some Christians today do not understand the Kingdom of God, and it has caused many to be distracted from their Kingdom Calling and the Gospel of the Kingdom. This was also the problem of the Pharisees, who could not recognize the Kingdom in their midst. Understanding exactly what Jesus meant when He described His Kingdom, is paramount to living a meaningful life for God in His Kingdom - today.
