Fun to be in church. Amen, thank you. I want to talk
for a few minutes about the power of our proclamation with regard to who Jesus
is and just how amazing you know, we know, we know he came
to start a kingdom, but there's so many believers worldwide who are waiting for
the kingdom to start, and they're anticipating the coming of his kingdom in power,
maybe not realizing that his kingdom has come in power. But the problem
is the way we see him is the way we receive him, and the
way we speak of him is the way that we taste of him, and
the way that we proclaim him is the way that he proclaims us before the
Father. And I even want to submit to you that the growing kingdom that
has been transpiring, like the kingdom has been growing like crazy and in golfing
the entire planet for you know, these hundreds of years. But I want
to submit to you that the growth of the kingdom, which was the fulfillment
of verse somebody just quoted, was it? Was it? The kiddos maybe
Isaiah nine, right? It was the fulfillment this growing kingdom that we've seen
and that the nations looked to and the growing kingdom of the king that's been
shifting. Everything has been somewhat the result of the fulfillment of all these scriptures.
I took a picture of a couple that I didn't put on the slides
because I just wanted to read a couple that were coming to my mind.
You know, I talk about this one a lot. Ken, Can you
bring me up a little bit in the volume realm, so if I get
excited, I won't scream. Isaiah chapter nine, verse expo to us,
a child is born, to us, a son is given, and the
government will be on his shoulders. This is not speaking of Biden or Trump,
though the trump did sound. This is speaking of the Christ, and
the government will be upon his shoulders, and he will be called wonderful counselor
Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Hello, Prince of Peace, of
the greatness of his government and peace, or of the increase is a better
translation. I don't know what that was, of the increase of his government
of peace. There shall be no end. He will reign on David's thrown
over his kingdom, establishing it and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that
time on forever from that time on, not from the Second Coming, but
from the first Coming. Say that one with me, not from the second
Coming, but from the First Coming. But this is so, you know,
I feel like the Lord wants me to talk today a little bit about
his dominion further, just a little bit more. And part of that is
because I believe Holy Spirit is trying to convince us to agree with him.
And the increase of his government of peace has been increasing because on the planet
there's been a bunch of Christians that have agreed with the increase of his government
of peace. But of late in the last one hundred years or so,
there were doctrines that were coming into the church that have shifted the church's focus,
and we've begun to see the increase of the enemy's kingdom instead of the
increase of the Lord's kingdom. We began to anticipate the increase of the enemy's
kingdom instead of the increase of the Lord's kingdom. We begin to wrongfully interpret
passages like Matthew twenty four and their passages. And this is not I can't
get into all of that today, but I just I want you to hear
me out a little bit today that no matter what your eschatology is, and
eschatology means the theological doctrine of your end time thinking, no matter what it
is, it's always better to see the Kingdom of His Christ increasing than the
Kingdom of His Christ decreasing, because the way you see him is the way
you receive him. The way you talk about him is the way you taste
of him. The way you proclaim him is the way that He proclaims you.
Matthew ten thirty two, whoever therefore confesses me before men, I will
also confess before the Father who is in heaven. Now that's an interesting passage
because what it means there, confess is actually you've heard me talk about it
a lot. Here. Confess is actually two Greek words put together. And
the first Greek word is homo, from which we get homo and I'm being
really simple right now. And the second word is logos, and so we
even get homogene milk from right, and it means same. And so logos
means word, and it means to say the same word that God says to
whoever confesses me. The Christ is saying Matthew ten thirty two, whoever speaks
of me before men, the way I spoke of myself and the way Father
speaks of me, he who has a same word. If you have the
same word before men that I have before Father, then that word will be
confessed before Father. So whatever you say about him is what Jesus says that
you're saying to the Father about him, And whatever you are saying about him
is what he says to the Father that you're saying, and then that's what
you inherit. You notice there's not a lot of healing and churches that don't
believe in it. There's a lot of saved people in churches who don't believe
in healing. But if they aren't confessing before men healing, then Jesus isn't
confessing before the Father that they are ready for the distribution of healing. So
we don't get just what he is giving. We get what we believe he's
giving. Did you hear that? We don't, necessarily cart Blanc get what
God is distributing through the overcoming victory of Jesus. We get what we believe
he's distributing. And if we don't believe he's not, just if we believe
he's not distributing certain things he loves us anyway, but he doesn't distribute those
things seventeen forty one. Seventeen forty one handles Messiah. Now, last week
I read Joy to the World to you, and we struggled because one of
the best verses of Joy to the World, no more let thorns or thistles
grow, you know that kind of a you know, I couldn't find it.
I pulled it up, and lo and behold. The first website that
I went to. As I stood here at the platform, went on my
phone excluded that verse. Can you believe it? So I'm like, okay,
there's something wrong with this song. Who messed up on this one?
This is this is verse three of Joy to the World. No more let
sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make
his blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is
found, Far as the curse is found. It was written a long time
ago somebody was agreeing with the dominion of Jesus. Somebody was coming into agreement
with the dominion of Jesus, and they thought, if we could get everybody
to sing about this, then somehow they would come into agreement with the dominion
of Jesus. And if we would come into agreement with the dominion of Jesus,
then we could begin the taste of the dominion of Jesus. Seventeen forty
one, Frederick Hampbell wrote, the Messiah, have you heard it? Have
you sag it for the Lord God? Niput rey in the Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah for the Lord God. No move into my choir of
voice. Right now. The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of
our Lord and of his Christ and of His Christ. And he show reign.
Oh boy, you may get voice lessons this week. We need help
right there. And he shall reign forever and ever, and he shall reign
forever and ever. And he shall reign forever and ever, and he shall
reign for ever ever, King of Kings forever forever, and Lord of Lords
forever forever, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and he show reign
forever renever. This is a rapture song. This is not a sweet by
and bye song. This is this is a song that was the theology of
the church. This has been the theology of the church. And therefore kings
were subjected to Christ, and therefore nations were led to the Lord, and
therefore the kingdom grew and the Kingdom spread, and therefore amazing things happened because
the theology of the Church believed that Jesus was King of kings and Lord of
lords. I'm not talking about a fringe This is not a fringe group.
This is not a friend. This is not like some little fringe group somewhere
that has some little sect somewhere, or some little sect sect or had some
little cults somewhere. This is not some little fringe group. This is This
was the theology of the Church. And because the Church was in agreement with
the victory of the Christ, then God was moving to bring forth the victory
in and over and through the Church globally, and enemies were being subdued,
and demons were being routed, and unclean things were being pushed out and dispossessed
out of the nations. And this this is the forerunner stuff of how of
how our nations started, and what was happening with the Puritans, and why
why the the beginning book for all education was the Bible. The thing we've
kicked out of our schools huhn mm hm. This this kind of stuff,
And I think this is God's cry for us that again he would have a
church that agrees with the victory of the king. Hallelujah, hallelujah, he
would again have a church that agrees with the victory of the King. And
it doesn't you know, it doesn't matter what we see. Should it matter
what we see? What did the early Church see when the Word and the
apostles and the prophetic ministry of Holy Spirit announced the victory of Jesus over Satan
and over the curse and over all things? What did what did the early
Church hell on Earth? They saw Hell on Earth. They were staring circumstantially
at Hell on Earth. Everything unclean was rampant, and people were more demonized
than you could even imagine. And there was idolatry everywhere, idolatry everywhere.
It was absolutely dark when he won this great victory. It was beyond your
comprehension, because you and I have never even begun to experience anything so dark
as it was when Jesus came. It wasn't only the fullness of time that
he came Galatians for, but it was also it was also the very peak
of darkness, coming into the darkest day. What huh it just happened?
Did you feel that got dark earlier, shorter day? Well, guess what.
When Jesus came, it was the darkest of days. It was the
darkest of days. Darkness covered the earth. Well, what did the disciples
know? What did the apostles know? What did those who saw the resurrection
know? What did those who hung out in the upper room know? They
knew that the King of kings and the Lord of lords had come. They
knew that the dominion of Jesus was being loosed upon the earth. They knew
that Satan had been overthrown. They knew that the curse was no longer to
rule over mankind. They knew He is the fulfillment of the promise to is
to Abraham, the promise to Abraham. And I know I'm out of time.
I know I'm out of time. No fidgeting, don't be nervous,
don't be nervous. I am actually not going to go through the ten scriptures
that I had or the fifteen or whatever I have, So don't be nervous.
Don't be nervous. But what they knew, they knew something crazy,
right, they knew that Jesus was the air of Okay. Here it is
Romans four thirteen for this promise, for the promise that he would be heir
of the world. Now this is this is Romans form Romans for talking about
Abraham and how we have been brought in through faith to the promise to Abraham
that he would be the heir of the world. So it says here in
verse thirteen, for the promise that he would be the heir of the world
was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith. So the promise given to Abraham that he would inherit the
world right and be be essentially the lord of the world or restored with lordship
of the world, because Satan had taken or deceived Adam and stolen the world
away. But the promise was that Abraham would be the heir of the world.
But it wasn't through the law, but it was through the righteousness of
faith. It was fulfilled in Jesus, and we enter into the Abrahamic promise
through the Christ, and he became the heir of the world, and we
become Romans says, joint heirs with him, we become joint heirs with him.
What a miserable existence of it, to be a joint heir of the
world and never taste of the destiny of the victory because you refuse to come
into agreement with his dominion, or you keep postponing his dominion until after he
comes again. When he clearly stated, some of you standing here today will
not taste death until you see the sun come into his kingdom, he said
it Glatians three thirteen and fourteen. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the
Law becoming a curse for us, for its written cursed is everyone who is
hung on a tree. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to
Abraham might come to the gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we
might receive the promise of the Spirit. The promise to Abraham is that he
would be the heir of the world, and Christ has become the king of
kings and the Lord of lords. I love I love the clarity. I'm
going to read one more thing to you and then we'll try to wind it
up. I love the clarity that has come to that passage that he is
the King of kings and the Lord of lords, because you know, you
know what the clarity is. You know who the kings are and the lords
are. That he's the king of and the You know who it is.
Yeah, it's you in this building. It's you in this building, the
joint heirs with him. He is the heir of the earth through his supremacy,
his righteousness, his victory, his representation of us before the Father.
He is the heir of the earth. He is the fullness of the promises
made to Abraham, and we are joint heirs with him. He's the King
of kings and the Lord of lords. He's the King of kings and the
Lord of lords. He makes it clear in Revelations chapter one, chapter six
twice he talks about this kingdom of kings, this kingdom of kings, as
joint heirs. He's called you to rule and reign with him in the earth.
But you won't until after you die, if you won't come into agreement
with his victory now, because he is reigning now for those who confess before
men that he's reigning now, because then he can confess before the Father that
this one believes I'm reigning now. Oh, and this one believes I'm reigning
now. Oh, and this one believes I'm reigning now. And this one
believes I'm raining now, and this one believes I'm raining now, and this
one over here. They believe I'm raining now. So Father, go ahead
and pour out the reigning victory on them, because they believe I'm raining now.
And so I'm a joint heir of the earth. Not in name only,
not in word only, not in scripture only, but in manifestation and
experience. In the past, God spoke to our ancestors. This is Hebrews
one, and then I'll quit. In the past, God spoke to our
ancestors through the prophets many times in various ways. But in these last days
He's spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed. I just think
this is what he wanted me to share today. So you know, of
all the things that I could share, I don't know. I look for
what the wind is on, what's the oil on. And this is why
I believe He wants deposited in our hearts today, is that there is more
power than you can even imagine, made known to you individually and corporately church
as you and when you begin to come into agreement with him, like Frederick
Handel did, and like Isaac Watts did when he wrote Joy to the World
hundreds of years ago. And they saw the Kingdom advancing, and they saw
demons routed, and they saw nations shifted, and they saw the kingdom growing,
and they saw the missionary work of the Church expanding across the globe.
And they were working and serving in a church that was over to taking the
planet, not expecting a growing kingdom of darkness and a great falling away,
and not expecting this and that and all these negative things of which we don't
even know, but expecting that of the increase of His government of peace,
there shall be no end. And so Proverbs eighteen twenty. Death and life
are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat
the fruit. See, your words are releasing the seeds of God, the
seeds of His victory, into the atmosphere of your life and your home,
your relationships. Your words are seeds, and those seeds are releasing the victory
of His dominion into the atmosphere of the spirit realm in you and all around
you. And seeds produce fruit. And so if you release the life of
his victory. Then those seeds produce the fruit of his victory, and you
get to eat the fruit thereof. And that's the kind of fruit that he
wants us to bear. He wants us to bear the fruit of agreement with
what he's said and with what he's done. That's what we want to confess.
We want to have the same confession, the same word, the same
logos in our mouth. That he is released through the sun. Satan is
under our feet, Darkness is under our feet, the curses under our feet.
Sickness and disease are under our feet. Poverty is under our feet,
fear is under our feet. Every expression of darkness is under our feet.
Oh Holy Spirit, we come into agreement with you today. We rejoice in
what you've done. You've set us free in the liberty of joy, the
liberty of faith, the liberty of hope, the liberty of love. You've
loosed us into this kingdom of the dominion of the Sun. That he is
victorious over all things, and you've made them the air of all things and
the air of the earth. He is the supreme one. He's not only
the coming king, he is the present king, ruling from heavenly Jerusalem now,
and we come into agreement with his victory, his rule, and his
reign. And we joyfully and fully long and love to see the manifestation of
his victory through us and with us. Along with us, we partner with
you as joint airs of Jesus, joint airs of the victorious One. Let
his victory be loose through the Church, the victory be loose through us.
We say yes, and amen. We say yes today, man, we
say yes and amen, that the curse is under our feet, darkness is
under our feet. We give you the praise for it in Jesus' name.
And everybody shouted
