 Okay, welcome back after the break just before we went for our break. We were studying the literal kingdom in chapter 10 So any questions anyone has in this chapter? I'm sure you have a lot of questions regarding the end times the science what is going to happen? But you know, you will be studying a course in detail Call eschatology and all that's happening in the end times So I think most of your doubts and queries will all be answered then but any of you have any questions regarding what? Was mentioned in this chapter in chapter 10 anyone has any questions? Okay No questions Okay, there are no questions then We'll move on to chapter 11 the last chapter in this Publication the kingdom of God the kingdom mandate. Okay We know that there is a mandate on our lives a commission a Responsibility a call on our lives that Jesus has placed and that is the kingdom mandate and Jesus put it for us in this way when he said in Matthew chapter 6 Verses 9 and 10. So can somebody please read Matthew chapter 6 versus 9 and 10, please Matthew chapter 6 versus 9 and 10. Can somebody read that please for us? Matthew chapter 6 verse 9 and 10 This then is how you should pray a father in heaven Hallowed be your name your kingdom come you will be done on earth as it is in heaven Amen, so Jesus said I want you to play this Way and he says what does he say? You know, he says your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven which means the mandate to see his kingdom is on you and me because you and me are asked to pray And what are we asked to pray? We are asked to pray your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven so, you know, it the mandate is on each one of us and it's on you and me that we need to Pray so in your home. What do you pray? You pray Lord? I kingdom come that will be done in my home in my house If you're staying in an apartment complex, you know, and there are hundreds of people staying around you in the Apartments, you know, even as you walk out to or you're walking towards your apartment You know, you're looking at all these apartment complexes The hundreds of people living in these apartments You can pray Lord that kingdom come that will be done in my apartment Complex or if you're living in a neighborhood, you know, and as you walk around There are people living there some you know some you don't know but you can pray God your kingdom come that you will be done in my neighborhood now you go to office you go to the The grocery store wherever you go, you go to your office. You've got friends. You've got colleagues You know, you've got your bosses there some are good some you get along with some you don't get along with You know, you come to Bible college You know, you can you know Even as you meet different kind of people at your workplace And you know, you go through different situations in your workplace Even as you walk in and walk out of your workplace or walk in and walk out of Bible college Your prayer can be Lord let that kingdom come and let that will be done in this place So that's the mandate that's on our life. That's the mandate that's in your life in my life and The mandate is for us to pray and what are we to pray? We are to pray that God's kingdom come his will be done in wherever we are, you know In any area every sphere of our lives in our neighborhood in our workplace in our college in our schools wherever we go to, you know This is what we are asked to pray This is the mandate that is on your life and my life So it's our responsibility to see his kingdom come and his will be established in our lives, okay So when you pray that prayer, you know What is going to happen is you're going to be part of the answer to that prayer because when we pray You know, and when we pray things that are in accordance with God's will God is going to answer So when you pray your prayer is going to be you are going to be part of the answer to that Prayer so as you pray that kingdom come God says, okay, you know that he is going to release his Kingdom his kingdom is going to come in and through you, okay Now the Pharisees they came to Jesus and they were trying to figure out how You know, his kingdom is going to come here on earth now Jesus is preaching about the kingdom of God and he's saying repent for the kingdom of heaven is here But you know, they are wondering where is the kingdom? You know, they can't see the physical aspect of the the kingdom because they have envisioned the kingdom to be but king will come right or overthrow the enemies and would you know Give freedom to these Jews and they will be in authority and in In power and not be oppressed by the Roman government or who was oppressing Them so, you know, they were trying to figure out how this kingdom is going to Come so when Jesus is saying repent for the kingdom of heaven is here You know, they're wondering but where is this kingdom and how is it going to come? So they said, you know, Lord, tell us how this kingdom is going to come and look at what Jesus's response was in Luke chapter 17 verses 20 and 21 can somebody read that please Luke chapter 17 verse 20 and 21 Luke chapter 17 verse 20 and 21 now when he was asked by the Pharisees When the kingdom of God would come he answered them and said the kingdom of God does not come with Observation nor will they say see here or see there for indeed the kingdom of God is in within you Yeah, immense. So here it says, you know Jesus says it does not come the way that you think is going to come like the traditional Monarchs and the kings that you have seen marching and you know, this great parade that they have But he says the kingdom of God is not going to come like this Traditional kings who parade and bring about you come and pump and show and all their glory and majesty But he says the kingdom of God comes, you know Not in these ways, but he says the kingdom of God is within you It is within them, but the kingdom that Jesus has been talking about is a kingdom that is within them So, you know as you and I are praying God let your kingdom come in my home Let it come in my neighborhood in my apartment complex in my office and you know the Bible College where I'm studying The kingdom that is going to come is within you It's inside you as you are going to the Bible College as you are going to the workplace or as you are You know living that apartment complex in that neighborhood the kingdom of God is dead because where you are Is where the kingdom is because the kingdom of God is within you. It's inside you So wherever you are, wherever we are whatever situation that we enter in the king and his kingdom Already steps in because the kingdom of God is within us. We've already looked at all of these things I'm just Retreating it, you know, so there's a potential for God's kingdom to be released in and through any and every Situation there's a potential for God's kingdom to be released into that place Because you and I have walked in and the kingdom is within us So we are basically carrying God's kingdom and even as we are carrying God's kingdom We are you know able to manifest his kingdom and even as we're carrying his kingdom or the kingdom of God is within us We're carrying his authority and his power into that situation into that circumstances Into that place wherever we are going So we need to be conscious that the kingdom of God is within us now There's one thing that you and I need to understand about this kingdom of God that there is a dichotomy Or there is a paradox Or this there are two opposites on one hand Jesus said in Matthew chapter 18 He said that unless you become like a little child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God So there is this whole dimension of expressing God's kingdom Which requires child likeness from us child like faith child like abandoning ourselves To the father's trust and totally depending and Surrendering ourselves totally to him, but in Matthew chapter 11 Jesus also said something else in Matthew chapter 11 verse 12 and Somebody else can read Luke chapter 16 verse 16. So can somebody read that please? Matthew 11 12 and Luke 16 16 Luke 16 16 The law and the prophets were until John Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached and everyone is pressing into it Amen. Thank you. Can someone else read Matthew chapter 11 verse 12, please and From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violence take it by force online students, what's wrong? None of you are reading what happened to Rin and to Nina Santosh and Nikhil and Sri Radha What's happening there? Can you please quickly read the scripture passages? You can just pass on the mic quickly I'm sure you're close to each other and please be ready to read so that we don't have any waste of time Okay, so there are certain areas of our life and relationship with God where you know where we just need to You know expect us to be childlike Unless we are childlike, you know, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven That's what Jesus says but on the other hand there are things in life where God Expects us to be militant in the spirit, you know, he expects us to be aggressive in the spirit Which is unless we become violent in the spirit or we become aggressive or? Militant like in the spirit we cannot enter into that Kingdom because Jesus said the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violence take it by Force so this is something you and I must understand and begin to live by So we have to press in into the things of the kingdom You know it says here we need to press into the things of the kingdom So you can ask the question why you know do I have to press in as if it is God Holding it back for me, you know it and I need to just pull it from him or snatch it from him It's not that it's not God holding it back for me Or it's not God holding it back from you But Jesus said in Luke chapter 12 verse 32 Look at what Jesus says in Luke chapter 12 verse 32. Can one of you read that please? Luke 12 32 Do not fear little flock for this your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom Yes, what is your father's good pleasure to give you? It is his father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Okay, so the father wants you to have the Kingdom he wants you to have the righteousness peace and joy which is Characteristic of his kingdom or describes his Kingdom and he wants you to have what is in his Kingdom, so it's not that God is saying that you have to you know try to wriggle it out of his hands No, that's not what he's trying to say, but you know What we need to look at is that there are two great enemies that you and I face One of course, we know our enemy is you know, we wrestle against Principalities and powers. There are demonic forces that are ready to hold back What God has intended and designed for your life and for my life And so when they oppose, you know We need to fight through to take what God has is has given for us What God says is ours. What God says is yours What God has purpose and plan for you, you know, we need to be forceful militant like aggressive in our spirit To take what God has already released or what God has given to us because the enemy, you know is trying to Oppose or to stop or to fight From us receiving what God has already released it or given To us, you know, so God has intended and designed this for your life So when the enemy opposes we have to fight through to take what God says is ours But there's also another enemy and that enemy is closer to home It's just right beneath our skin and it's called our flesh Okay, so sometimes in order to experience the kingdom of God in order to receive what is in the kingdom of God in order to Receive an inherited to inherit what God said is our inheritance or what we can inherit You know, we've got to fight the enemy and this enemy is underneath Your skin and my skin and it's called a flesh, okay? Because left to itself our flesh will be so happy, you know to take us to hell But you know you and but we need to fight this enemy We need to fight our flesh, you know, we need to crucify this flesh We need to crucify the ungodly desires of our flesh in order to press into You know, all that God has Has envisioned for us and kept in store for us in order to press into that kingdom And take what God says is mine. Okay So there are these two enemies one is a demonic forces one is creating that oppressive Who opposes and also is the flesh and we need to fight these two enemies. So we need to be Aggressive in our spirit man. We need to be militant like in our spirit man and we need to Take hold of what God has already released for us So there are things that God has already given to us. He's released for us, you know, but we don't receive it It's because of these two enemies that are Stopping us from receiving it and we need to be militant like and aggressive in our spirit man to take What God has already given to us. So there are areas in our life You know where God says I want you to you know To be forceful to press in to have what I have designed for you to have And you know, we must be willing to say God, you know, I'm ready to be forceful in the Spirit I'm ready to press in I'm ready to fast. I'm ready to you know, pray that praise. I'm ready to You know Pray through to break through, you know, I'm willing Lord To stand as I ought to stand and you know stand in faith stand putting on my The armor of God and I'm willing to do what it takes Whether it takes to you know, declare your word or speak your promises Decreate your words speak over my situations Pray fast, you know press in Do what it takes to to press in to see that the kingdom blessings that you have already released Over my life and into my life or over my family over my work my job my vocation the course that I'm studying Or my family whatever, you know, that blessing comes into my life to inherit God what you have said that I can inherit and I'm going to do that and I'm going to be forceful I'm going to be aggressive and I I'm going to do what it takes to Um to to receive all that you have already released for me that you have already Kept in store for me and I'm going to press in so you know, we know that uh any battle that You and I face if we refuse to fight that battle We've already lost that battle by default. Okay any battle you and I refuse to fight We've already lost it so by default so many of us, you know We see uh battles in our lives and we just give up and you know through our hands up in the air and say You know, maybe I'm not going to experience the kingdom of god in this area of my life Or maybe I'm not going to see the blessing of god come through in this area of my life Maybe, you know, this is my This is what god has allotted for me. This is uh, this is what uh, uh, Is supposed to happen in my life, you know Or you can say that I cannot experience the kingdom of god in this area of my life And we can just throw up our hands without a fight And if we do that, we've already lost the battle by default in that specific area And yes, we cannot inherit or receive the blessing that god has already released for us or wants us to Inherit but sometimes, you know, we have to fight to see his kingdom Expressed in our life. Maybe it's in uh, you know in your marriage. Maybe it's your children Maybe it's your profession. Maybe it's our job our career And you know, uh, whatever it is you're saying god I know that you know, you want my marriage to be that covenant that we had made with you know With me and my spouse and with you and you know, you want marriage to be You know all this god you've envisioned this for me and I'm just praying into that I'm just pressing into that I'm just seeking after that and you know You are taking by force what god has already released and given to you in that covenant of marriage or you say, you know God, uh, I want my marriage in my home to be a place where there is righteousness Peace and joy because that is characteristic of your kingdom and I'm just going to do what it takes to present to see To till I see a breakthrough till I see this happening in my marriage in my home or you know, um You can say god I know that you've called me to be successful in my workplace in my career so that I can bear a good testimony And that that is being held for me, you know Or god, I know that you want my children to walk with you and I'm not seeing that But I'm going to do what it takes to press in god To see and to inherit to receive the blessing that you have already portion For me. So the question is, you know, uh, will you and I fight or will you and I just walk away without a Fight now if you walk away without a fight by default you've lost the battle And it's not that god has withheld a good home. It's not that god has destined your children to go to hell It's not that god is not wanting you to be, uh, you know prosperous In your workplace or your marriage to be a blessing and a joy for you, but You know, it's it's it's not that you know, but it's uh It's none of that and uh, but there are things in the kingdom that you and I have to fight for Because Jesus says the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent are the ones who will take it by force Okay, so we need to be forceful and need to take what is ours and not stop till we have taken what god has You know envisioned or has portioned uh for us Some of us can say hey the battle has been so long, you know, I'm ready to give up I mean, how long should I be standing and fighting and declaring and speaking and praying and Fasting but look at what paul says paul has an answer for us in Ephesians chapter 6 He says brethren, you know having put on the full armor of god stand Okay, so how long should I stand? It doesn't say how long but we keep standing Okay, so there are battles that you have to keep standing And sometimes it's long Battles that we need to fight so just keep standing because as you continue to engage the enemy Whether it is the the principalities and powers and forces of darkness and Satan or whether it's your flesh as you continue to stand and fight and Do what it takes, uh, you know to fight your battle You know, you will ultimately win because the battle always belongs to the lord amen. Okay, so Might be a long battle, but we just have to continue standing and Fighting so there's a rem of god's kingdom where god requires you and me to be Childlike, but there's also rem in god's kingdom that god requires us to be warrior like To be warrior like in the spirit He requires you and me to keep fighting And he requires you and me to have done all to stand and to keep standing and to keep fighting Okay, so there is a kingdom mandate on our life And if you want to see the kingdom of god in the areas of your life and my life, you know We have to press in to the kingdom and you know And even as we pursue or press into the kingdom There are a few things that are mentioned here that will help us to really fulfill This mandate. Okay. So the first thing is, you know We must just bring everything In subjection everything in our life in subjection to the king. Okay, so even as God wants us to fulfill his mandate, you know There are some things that will really help us to fulfill the mandate that he has over a life The first thing is that we need to bring every area in our life to the submission to the king But you're saying god everything in my life is about you. It's about your kingdom So god's kingdom has to become That pearl of great price in our lives. It has to become that treasure in that field We're willing to leave everything just go by that field to get that treasure And you know, it should be like that nothing less. So the king and his kingdom Should consume us where we are saying god I'm ready to give up everything else just to pursue your kingdom or we're saying lord for me Your kingdom is that treasure in that field God in your kingdom is The treasure where I will just leave everything and I will just go after your kingdom So everything in our lives must now be focused or centered around the kingdom of god And jesus said in matthew chapter 6 6 speak he first the kingdom of god and his righteousness And all these things will be added to You you know, we are worried about our job. We're worried about our future We're worried about our children family marriage, you know health whatever But if you could just say lord everything in my life is going to be about that kingdom Lord, I'm consumed with this kingdom. It's that pearl of great price in my life Everything is going to be about your kingdom or everything in my life is going to be upon that kingdom You know and the reason god I live is because I want to see your kingdom come And it will be done in my life. The reason I am working Um, the reason I'm studying the reason I'm doing what I'm doing or the reason why I'm in ministry or the reason why I'm parenting or the reason why I'm a spouse or a reason why I am living in the specific area The reason why I'm studying god everything is because I want to see your kingdom Come and everything in my world God would just be centered and focus around that will be centered and focus Around seeing your kingdom come and y'all will be done So that's when we start fulfilling our kingdom Mandate when we submit and surrender Every area of our life and the kingdom becomes top most importance and priority like that pearl of great price And that field with the hidden Treasure now, you know the question is can we do that in our lives? Can we say god everything in my life from this day forward is going to be about just your kingdom Seeing your kingdom come you will be Done and you know just saying god I want everything to have That i'm doing in my life to have meaning for that kingdom And everything that i'm doing in my life or i'm being Or the way i'm living is for the extension of that kingdom or for the stake of the kingdom of God, okay, even if you're studying, you know, say god I want to position myself in such a place where I can You know do something for your kingdom or in your job You can say god in my job I want to make a difference for the kingdom and everything about that kingdom So everything is going to be about the kingdom or the place where i'm living replace me in this uh neighborhood god everything that you know, i'm I'm doing or we're living here Everything is to make a difference for your kingdom. It's about your kingdom. So you're saying god I bring my entire life In subjection to the king and to his Kingdom, okay so As you and I fulfill the kingdom mandate we must begin to you know Not only just submit and surrender, but also unleash kingdom Influence, you know we uh again coming back the point that you know the kingdom of god is within us And the kingdom of god that is within us is like a mustard seed Which when is sown it grows into a plant, you know And jesus said the kingdom is like this is like a little even You know, which when put into a lump it's going to affect the entire lump And uh, we know that the kingdom of god is within us We are an expression of that kingdom you and I are an expression of that kingdom. We are that seed You and I are that believe in You know that god has placed in our neighborhood in the apartment complex Whichever city town, you know The place of work that we are in wherever god has placed us You know, he wants his influence to come in and through us He wants to unleash his kingdom influence his kingdom power his kingdom authority in and Through us so part of The kingdom mandate is when we say god helped me to be an influence In my world in the world that you have placed me in my small environment in the place that you have Portion for me god helped me to be an influence So how can we be that little mustard seed? The place where you're studying the bible college or in your office or in your neighborhood or how can you be that little even? That is in that That lump or how can you be salt and light? You know, we already studied about it The way that we think kingdom thinking, you know, by the way we do things You know the way that we live kingdom lifestyle kingdom culture We begin to bring about kingdom influence into our spheres Although the the environment of the world that little world that you know, we are in so You know just think about the difference That we can make the rest of people around us You know, if you just live like kingdom citizens if you think like kingdom citizens If you have you know follow the kingdom culture and the kingdom lifestyle, you know The influence the powerful influence that we can be to people around us and how we can impact their Lives, okay So whatever you are doing thinking living, you know, you might not be conscious of it But you are bringing his kingdom influence into that sphere or the place that god has Placed you, you know, when you move around with your friends You're being that little even that lump that's making a difference into their lives Just by the way you think just by the way that you live you're bringing about kingdom influence into their Lives and you know, remember that the kingdom of god is inside us as we've already said It's an overpowering kingdom. It's a pervasive kingdom Um, if anything is going to win it is his kingdom that is operating in and through your life and my life Okay, but he needs to release that influence in and through each one of us because we are the salt We are the light. You are the salt. You are the light. So, you know, can we begin to Just pray and say god, you know, even as I live in this neighborhood If I go shopping or you know, walking My daily Walks morning walks evening walks if I go to work But I want to bring your influence of your kingdom wherever I go the place that I Set my foot on I want to bring about your kingdom influence. I want to Think kingdom thinking I want to live kingdom lifestyle and I want to Live kingdom culture so that I can become an influence. So when you begin to pray that, you know You will see, you know, his kingdom come his will be done in that Place, okay So even as you begin to pray that kingdom come, you know, you just See your boss and you say god, I pray your kingdom come In this place in and through my boss Let your kingdom come In his heart his life or if you look at your colleagues, you just say a simple prayer and say God, you know, let your kingdom come to these friends that I'm working with And when you do that, you're basically being a kingdom influence in that Place and even as you begin to do that, you know, we need to proceed to the next step, which is, you know Uh Bringing an advancement of the kingdom invasion, which is in you now You're beginning to say god give me some strategies. Give me some ways Give me some methods to bring about the kingdom of god into my sphere of influence and The invasion of god's kingdom in the hearts and lives of this people So the first thing to do to fulfill the kingdom mandate is to be submissive and totally Surrender every area of our lives to king and his kingdom The second thing is, you know, the kingdom of god is a pervasive kingdom. It can Influence so we need to be an influencer wherever god has placed us And the next thing is, you know, we need to bring about kingdom advancement Um, and how do we bring about kingdom advancement is just ask god for strategic strategies to give us ways methods to bring about his Kingdom into the hearts and lives of people. So our objective, you know, is, uh, you know that We're not just being Kingdom influence wherever we are. So people see us and know, hey, we are Believers, you know, there's something powerful in us, but you know, it should become something that they are Living that they are wanting for themselves that they are also living kingdom lifestyle kingdom culture and thinking kingdom thoughts so Our objective is to see god's kingdom come into the hearts and lives of people not just for us to be You know an influencer not just for us to you know Unleash kingdom influence in the places that god has put us in But also that people that we encounter with or we live along with now they must experience the king and his kingdom, okay, so We need to show them what the kingdom of god is Like, okay, so you can say god, you know show me ways in which I can bring about invasion of your kingdom Among these people that I Live and god might give you some simple ideas Maybe it your workplace. You can start a bible study during You know lunchtime Or you can just pray with people who are going through difficult situations Difficult circumstances you can see you can see what they're going through you can just pray You know or maybe You know one day in a week you can all get off from work early go to the cafeteria Or go to a coffee day close by and just you know Have a bible study or a prayer meeting invite people In some workplaces. There are chapels so you can also You know Begin prayer there. I know many Believers in the workplace have started these things, you know Slowly start all of these things which can Build or bring about kingdom influence kingdom invasion And the kingdom of god in the lives and the hearts of people that That we encounter on a everyday basis. I like to just share A testimony that was very I was very inspired About you know, tommy kenny. I don't know if you've heard about tommy kenny He was a pastor for over 10 years and then he went on to be an itinerary Minister just traveling around as a revival preacher And emphasizing revival and unity in the body of christ And even as he did that, you know, sorry even as he did that as an itinerant minister You know, god gave him such supernatural Favor that he would preach among the Presbyterians the baptists the charismatic even the Catholics and you know Even as he preached to these group of people god gave him such favor And finally one day god spoke to him and said, you know, tommy, I want you to do much more than what you are doing And tommy kenny was shocked because he said he told god god look at my schedule the whole year is packed with you know Preaching assignments the whole year You know, I can't take on any more preaching engagements because my whole year is already packed He's already written so many wonderful books that are a blessing to the body of christ And he's and it tells god god. What are you saying? What more do you want me to Do and god says look at your schedule And he says that you know more than 90 percent of your time is spent in ministry to believers you know Time is spent ministering to believers who are already Christians who already know about jesus christ So says, you know, why don't you look outside the church god tells him look outside the church do something for people Outside the church and then he begins to pray about it and god moves him and since he's a writer you know, god tells him to use his writing skills and minister to the To people outside the church. So he spends time studying the book of esther and he comes out with a book called Hadassah one night with the king so he writes this novel it's a christian novel and he releases it and Soon he gets after its release. He gets a call from hollywood saying that you know one of the producers saying that he read his book and they want to make a movie And they want him to come so imagine, you know, he's going to hollywood here is this revival preacher going to hollywood and Here the stormy tennie sitting in front of these movie superstars and teaching them From the book of esther and telling them what esther is all about so You know, what a strategy, you know, um They would never call a preacher. They would not call a revival preacher To come to them otherwise And so we just see that you know God just opened a door for him to do something in The world outside outside the christian Circle so likewise god can give us something which would just open a door So that people will want to listen to what you have to say about god and it will lead them to Believe okay, so it can be simple things but all you need to do is just ask god Say god show me how in my world how in my sphere of influence. What do you want me to do? And you know So that the door can be opened For the advancement of your kingdom in the hearts and lives of people And sure god will give you some ideas. It might be simple ideas But that's how you and I can start Some practical ways where we can see his kingdom come and his will be done, okay So even as you're bringing Everything in your life In subjection to the king and to his kingdom Even as you're being a kingdom influence in your sphere in your circle And as you are beginning to work out these strategies that god is putting in your heart in your mind In seeing the advancement of the kingdom of god also remember That this kingdom comes with power. Okay. It's a kingdom of Power like paul says that you know My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words But with the demonstration of the spirit's power So that you might not rest on human wisdom but on god's power Okay, so here we see that paul even though You know, he was well Trained and learned man, but he depended on not on human wisdom not on all the education that he had received but on god's power Okay, so So he's saying that you know All that i've studied all the knowledge that i've received is nothing When i come to you, but it's god's power that is operating in your in my life in and through my life And that is what is you know ministering to people and bringing people out of darkness into his marvelous Light so even as the kingdom of god is within us We know that god has given us kingdom authority And his kingdom comes with power Okay, even when jesus sent out his disciples You know, he sent them out two by two in luke chapter 10 versus one and verse nine Can somebody read that please luke chapter 10 versus one and nine Can somebody read that Luke chapter 10 verse one and nine after these things the lord appointed 70 others also and send them two by two before his face Into every city and place where he himself was bought to go about to go And heal the sick there and say to them the kingdom of god has come near to you Amen, so if you see that you know, jesus gives them the authority and the power to heal the sick And when they do that to say that the kingdom of god has come and the kingdom of god is near You so even as the king that god has given us the authority and the power and the kingdom of god is in us We need to expect the manifestation of the kingdom of god Or we need to expect the power of god to be unleashed or to be released in and through our Lives, okay, just like to give an example. Um, just one of the church is a very Church that flows In the supernatural, you know, there's many science miracles and wonders happening in this church In the u.s You know, and there was a u.s veteran An elderly veteran of the u.s army, you know, he was down with cancer in his final stages of cancer Then doctor had given up and he's almost going to die And they lived in the neighboring town where this church was so his son said Dad, you know, I've heard many people saying that, you know, they've gone to this church the healing rooms in this church And they have been healed and restored. They've been cancer. So why don't you try now? This man was not somebody who believed in god. And so he said, okay, since my son Is his last wish there's no harm in me going over there so, you know, he agrees he goes and he goes to healing rooms and You know, there's people who are there to minister to him and pray to him So he says you can pray for me, but nobody should touch me. He was very clear about that And uh, you know, uh, he says I I'm I'm my last age of cancer and anyway, I'm going to die But I'm just here for my son. I don't believe in prayer. I don't believe in god But since my son told me I just came I don't want to disappoint him So he says if you pray for me, you know, you can but nobody should touch me So they all gathered around him started praying but he opened his eyes and you know He didn't want anyone to touch it And then after a few minutes, he just felt immense peace that he closed his eyes And they were all praying and at that moment a 12 year old boy who had not Been instructed, you know, not heard this instruction not to lay hands. He just comes He breaks into that crowd that group and you know, he just comes and puts his hand on this This man and this man just boom falls on the ground You know, he's knocked out for the next 45 minutes And when he wakes up, he looks up and he first question he asks is who touched me, you know And they all point out to this 12 year old boy Now, obviously he can't do anything to that kid because you know, he didn't know anything But this man did go home and he when he went home, he felt a lot more better And when he went to the hospital, the doctors checked him and there was no trace of cancer in his body. It was completely gone Now the doctors kept calling him again and again 14 doctors in that hospital were shocked. How can this happen? They kept calling him again and again kept asking him a lot of questions doing a lot of investigations He got so fed up that he you know, he wrote a own brochure About details about what happened to him You know, and he said if you want any more details about how I was healed how the cancer Just slept my body, you know, this is the address of this church. You can go to this place This is a healing rooms and you can ask this people So any more investigations you want you can contact this church So he gave the church's name and the address Now the what's the point the point here is, you know, a 12 year old just laid hands and gods did something Why because you know, it's not your size. It's not your age. It's just that the kingdom of god is within You and his kingdom comes with power to fulfill the kingdom mandate that it's that is on our life So let's not think, you know, what we are how we are going to establish his kingdom, you know It's not by our efforts. It's going to be by the power of god, you know It's not about our identity. It's not about who we are. It's not about our reputation It's not about which church we are from It's not about whether you're liked or whether you are accepted by people whether people adore you or not It's not about anything but it's about his kingdom Okay, to end it all what did Jesus say, you know, when you pray He said remember to say this dying is the kingdom the power and the glory Okay, so it's all about Jesus because it is his kingdom. He is the lord of the kingdom It's not about me. It's not about my reputation. It's not about My church is not about all people's church It's not about whether you are liked or whether you are not liked or accepted by people or adored or not adored It's all about his kingdom and his kingdom mandate is on you And it's on me and we need to pray that kingdom come and do it with a perspective that You know, both the power and the glory belongs to him. Okay, so let's stop being let's stop Being worried about ourselves But let's just pursue his kingdom And what matters in the end that it is his kingdom that it is It is his power and all the glory and honor will go to him because all the glory and honor Belongs to him and him alone, but we just pursue the kingdom mandate that is on our lives and even as we do that let's just We'll totally submit and surrender to the king in everything that we do every area that's advanced the kingdom And let's walk in kingdom authority power and dominion And finally he will receive all the glory and honor. Okay So that is the last lesson Any questions anyone has? any questions Okay, so even as we have come to the end of this publication we'll start the The kingdom builders next week, but all that we learned I hope Has blessed you and please put it into a practice.
