Please, I'm 2 00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.120 gonna just pray over the Word this morning. 3 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.119 Father. Were so grateful for your presence in this house. God. 4 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.679 We thank you for our time with you this morning 5 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.480 so far. And we ask Lord, as we open your word, God, 6 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.960 that you would just pour into us that that you 7 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.399 would have us to have today. 8 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.480 God. And we hear people, Lord, we say, we hear you, 9 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:28.120 We obey. 10 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.200 We want more of you God, more of your presence, 11 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.759 more of your word, more of everything that you have 12 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.880 for us. God, and we give you praise for it 13 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:45.200 in Jesus' name, and then you may be seated. Thank you, hallelujah. Well, 14 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.960 I want to talk with you this morning. You know, 15 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.880 a couple of weeks ago during pastors one of the 16 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.240 pastor's sermons on God and Government, have you of you 17 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.840 have just really been enjoying that series, Amen, Just phenomenal stuff. 18 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.799 I've had, you know, the opportunity to share some of 19 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.319 that with people that I know and just really it's impactful, 20 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.519 you know, and share that and tell them where to go. 21 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.000 Find it on YouTube, find it on the church's websites, etc. 22 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.760 But during the message a couple of weeks ago, the 23 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:24.319 Lord spoke to me and said, he said, don't lose 24 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:24.879 your crown. 25 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:26.799 Don't let go of your crown. 26 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.079 I thought, man, what a odd word and place. But 27 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.959 it immediately kind of took me to my mind, to 28 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.439 the scripture and revelation. 29 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.760 And so I went and I read that, and I. 30 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:50.439 Thought, swiftly, so cling tightly to what you have, so 31 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:56.599 that no one may seize your crown of victory. And 32 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.000 I used to think that this was really just an 33 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.200 end time ripture, and. 34 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.719 It is that, but it's also for today. 35 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.080 And the reason that it's for today is because he 36 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.319 gives us a hint here, He says, cling tightly to 37 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.319 what you have, not what you will have, but what 38 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.599 you actually have right now. And so it implies that 39 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.439 we have a role to play. You've got a responsibility 40 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.599 to hold on to what you have. And I don't 41 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.120 know about you, but I don't want the enemy or 42 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.199 anyone else for that matter, to steal what I have. 43 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.960 Hold on to it tightly, he says. And it doesn't matter. 44 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.759 You know, if there are friends, they're well meaning Christians. 45 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.599 They might be a boss, they could be the teller 46 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.439 at the bank, they could be. 47 00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.080 A clerk at a store. 48 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.520 But if they can steal what you have, for example, 49 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.919 if they can steal your joy, they stole something from you. 50 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.479 And he says, cling tightly to what you have. 51 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.159 And then also, let me touch on something I want 52 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.599 to draw you right back to Pastor's sermons for the 53 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.560 last couple of weeks. It also means don't leave your 54 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.840 crown at home because you're afraid culture will be offended 55 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:36.439 by what you have. So that means we vote. That 56 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.319 means we're not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 57 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.479 We're not ashamed of what He has done in our lives. 58 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.120 We're not ashamed of how we believe and what we 59 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.479 believe and how we're going to do things. Amen, we're 60 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:55.639 not going to adgcate our rights. We don't walk away 61 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.280 from them. Pastor said this on Thursday night at prayer. 62 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:00.879 He said this. 63 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.719 He said, it is the will of God that Heaven 64 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.919 reigns on earth, and how much of this happens is 65 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.360 up to you. 66 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.199 See the first part we can all aim in. 67 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.240 Because that didn't require any responsibility. 68 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.800 But when it becomes now. 69 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.639 It's now, Oh, I have a role to play in 70 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.639 getting Heaven to earth. Oh, yeah, you do, baby, Come on, 71 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.079 you've got a big role to play. 72 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:31.000 Amen. 73 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.519 We partner with heaven so the Holy Spirit can come 74 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.879 and see the Kingdom of God established here on earth. 75 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.639 We are his royal priesthood. We are his holy nation. 76 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.399 So we don't want to miss our opportunity to see 77 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.680 deliverance in the nation, in the state, in the city 78 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.120 of Fife, in the county of Peers, wherever you are. 79 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.000 We want to see deliverance. We want to see healing, 80 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.600 we want to see salvation. Come on, when we're driving 81 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.160 along the streets in our city, whether it's five Tacoma, 82 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.519 it doesn't matter, and you see those that are addicted, 83 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.959 to those that are in sin, we should be shouting 84 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.160 deliverance over them as we're moving along, declaring who they 85 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.199 are in God. It's kind of interesting that you know 86 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:27.639 Terrell Taylor, he's over here. 87 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:28.959 You you've probably heard him. 88 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:37.759 Terrell always addresses you as king or queen. You know 89 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:43.120 what he's doing. He's announcing who you are. Well, he's 90 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.120 announcing who you are. Don't let that bother you. When 91 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.600 we have done with this message today, only he's gonna 92 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.480 bother you at all. It's kind of interesting, you know, 93 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.680 in the old Testament. There's a story of Sarah and Abram. 94 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.120 You have you know that story. 95 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:07.160 Okay, So what's interesting is that you know Sarai was barren, 96 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.839 which was a very you know, embarrassing, bad thing in 97 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:19.040 the culture of the day. But here's what's interesting. Her 98 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:26.519 name meant princess. So every time somebody said hello Sarai, 99 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:32.040 they're saying hello princess. No matter how she felt about herself, 100 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.759 Good morning, Sarai, Good morning, princess. 101 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:43.639 On how you doing today, princess, come on, come on, 102 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:44.360 didn't matter. 103 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.519 It didn't matter what she saw in the mirror, because 104 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.000 what she saw in the spirit was totally different in 105 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.839 this morning. What I want to talk to you about 106 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.199 is that you have a crown. I'm here to announce it. 107 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.959 You have a crown. You have something to cling on to, 108 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.240 and I can't give it to you to real can't 109 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.720 give it to you. He can announce it, but he 110 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:17.199 can't give. 111 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:17.439 It to you. 112 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.519 But you've got to receive it. And also I want 113 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.040 you to catch this that this isn't a message of 114 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:34.920 superiority over inferiority. This is a message of royalty, the 115 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.399 opposite of inferiority. Inferiority isn't isn't superiority. 116 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.040 It's royalty. Man, You're royal. Come on, don't walk. 117 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.800 Around like you're better than anybody else, walking around like 118 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.759 you're you're in charge because God has put you there. 119 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.079 And so today I hope that you walk away with 120 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:59.399 a fresh perspective of who you are in Christ, and 121 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.439 who you are in this world, and who you are 122 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.199 in the Kingdom of God. So I'm going to leave 123 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.560 you with three things today. And I'm telling you these 124 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:18.519 now because I have until twelve twenty, But I want 125 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.639 you to catch three things about your royalty. 126 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.800 We get to live at the throne. 127 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.560 We get to live from the throne, and we get 128 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:38.080 to live for the throne. Amen, we're serving a buffet. 129 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.120 So the first thing I want to talk to you 130 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.279 about is that we get to live at the throne. 131 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.519 It's a place of receiving. It's a place of thanksgiving, 132 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:53.720 you know, for those of you that have been like me, 133 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.240 and you moved a lot in your lifetime, and I 134 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.279 don't even I've moved so much. When I was a kid, 135 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.960 I can't tell you how many places. 136 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.919 We lived, but we lived. 137 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:08.440 We moved so often that our house had wheels. We 138 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.039 lived in a trailer and we never took the wheels off. 139 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.120 It's a lot easier to move that way. You're just 140 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:19.080 ready to go instantaneously. And we weren't the wealthy people 141 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.039 in the dirt trailer park. We were the poor people. 142 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.840 We left our wheels on. See a lot of them 143 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.279 they had. 144 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:25.679 They would you'd. 145 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.639 Get the foundation set and you'd put the jacks under 146 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.399 and you'd level it. Need to take the wheels off. 147 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:36.480 We never took the wheels off ours. We were the 148 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.399 poor folks. I used to say, we were so poor. 149 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.879 We couldn't We were just poe. We couldn't afford the 150 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:53.440 O and R. But see, when you go and you 151 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.639 get to live at the throne of God, you have 152 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.279 a new permanent address. You now have a fee simple 153 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:05.000 deed that means nobody can take it away from you. 154 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.480 You have a fee simple deed to your place of 155 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:15.600 authority at the throne. Hebrews four says this is It says, 156 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.279 seeing then that we have a great high priest. Come on, 157 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.679 it's royalty. Come on, we're talking royalty here. We talk 158 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.559 the language of royalty. A great high prist who has 159 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:30.840 passed through the heavens Jesus, the Son of God. Let 160 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.279 us hold fast our confession, for we do not have 161 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.440 a high priess who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but 162 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.039 was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 163 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.320 Let us therefore come boldly. 164 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.480 Come on, say, come boldly to the Throne of Grace, 165 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.200 that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help 166 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:58.440 in the time of need. Come on, you've got to 167 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.519 approach life from a different us. You get to approach 168 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.120 life from a whole new place. Somebody says where you live, 169 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.519 you give him the address of the throne. Come on, 170 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.919 come on, be proud of it. Come on, be proud 171 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:19.120 of it. Be proud of who you are. When you 172 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.200 come to that throne of Grace the first time, he 173 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.559 has crowned you with something. Come on, maybe it's Morgan. 174 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.080 You come to the crown of Grace for the first time, 175 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.879 and there's an exchange that's made. The crown of shame 176 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.799 has fallen off, the crown of victimhood has fallen off, 177 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.279 the crown of sin has fallen up, the crown of 178 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.559 addiction has fallen off. The crown of whatever it is 179 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.000 the enemy labeled you with has fallen off and you 180 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:50.679 now are walking under the royalty of Heaven. Thank you Jesus. 181 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.919 It is the way to live. We come to him 182 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.200 through the blood of Jesus. You see the veil that 183 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.440 he sees you through. Says you're pure, says your whole, 184 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.679 says your royalty, says your perfection, says you're beautiful. 185 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.039 Come on, says you're delivered. 186 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.000 Come on, it says it says that you're walking out 187 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.440 your purpose in the Kingdom of Heaven. Well, that's the deliverance. 188 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.960 That's the blood of Jesus working in our lives. It's 189 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.919 why we are such advocates of communion on a regular 190 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:29.279 basis of our house, because the blood of Jesus wipes. 191 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:29.919 Out everything else. 192 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.440 Come on, you can't plead guilty because you're plead the blood. 193 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.759 Come on, come on, we don't plead guilty. We plead 194 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:49.120 the blood. Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord. And we 195 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.200 have to live in a place of thanksgiving. God. I 196 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.159 thank you for the deliverance. I thank you Jesus for 197 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.000 what you did in my life. Come on, come on, 198 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.559 the expression of praise out of Morgan is coming from 199 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.200 a place of thanksgiving because she knows who she would 200 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.799 have been, and now she knows who she is. Come on, well, 201 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.159 and that kind of thing breaks me up, But nothing 202 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.360 will tear me up faster than hearing a testimony of 203 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:17.639 somebody who's been saved by grace. The first time I 204 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.440 ever talked to Frank, he was in that penitentiary. Talk 205 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.639 to him on the phone, but I knew that God 206 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.799 had a place for him, and I was like, you 207 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.159 are gonna be amazing. You are going to do great things. 208 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.840 God's got a plan and a purpose for your life. 209 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.240 Take off that crown that the devil has given you 210 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.200 and put on the crown of glory. 211 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.440 Thank you Jesus. Come on. 212 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.639 When we live in a place of thanksgiving, it's an 213 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.120 attitude of gratefulness for everything that we have. It's an 214 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:55.639 attitude of royalty that says everything will work out the 215 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.639 way God intends it to for my life. 216 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.519 I'm not gonna be talked out of it. I'm only 217 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:06.879 heading to the place that He's called me to. We 218 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.519 get to. 219 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.840 Live from the throne. It's a place of victory. Well, 220 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.000 how many of you want to have some victory in 221 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.480 your life? 222 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:14.799 Come on? 223 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.320 I love this because Ephesus too, says us this, but God, 224 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.519 who is rich in mercy, because of his great love 225 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.519 with which he loved us, even when we were dead 226 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.159 and trespasses, even when we were living the lie that 227 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.159 the enemy sold us, even when you were living in 228 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:48.279 your sin. He made us alive together with Christ, and 229 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:53.120 raised us up together, and made us sit in the 230 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.440 heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We're not trying to work 231 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.480 our way into the throne. We already seated with him. 232 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.720 But you can't make yourself worthy enough. You can't make 233 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.879 yourself great enough, You can't do anything that would earn it. 234 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:19.360 You can only go there through the blood of Jesus. 235 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.679 I want us to catch this out of first Corinthians, 236 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.240 that says, isn't it obvious that all runners on the 237 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.960 racetrack keep on running? It goes on, and it says, 238 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.120 yet each one of you must run the race to 239 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.679 be victorious. Come on, we've got a responsibility. And then 240 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.480 it says, we run our race to win the victor's crown. 241 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.919 When they wrote this, the word crown that was used 242 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.240 there was the word Stephanus, which was named after Stephen, 243 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.679 who was a martyr because he won the victor's crown 244 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.799 through what he suffered. But I want you to understand something. 245 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.480 When they put that crown on their head, the head 246 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.120 becomes a target. And that's why the enemy loves to 247 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:08.679 attack you. 248 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:09.360 In your mind. 249 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.480 He will attack you. He will tell you you're not 250 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.480 good enough. He will remind you of your past. He 251 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.720 will remind you of all the things that you did, 252 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.799 because he wants to talk you out of your crown. 253 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.360 But God is saying today, he said, don't let the 254 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.240 enemy talk you out of what you have in me. 255 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:35.120 Don't let the enemy talk you out of what I 256 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:40.360 have for you. The Bible says the Romans eight thirty 257 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:47.600 seven that we are more than conquerors through Jesus, who 258 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:55.679 strengthens us. Jesus conquered that enemy. And if we're in him, 259 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.840 then we have also won. If you're in him, you've won, 260 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.359 You've won the crowd, you've won it because you're already 261 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.240 in him. And I think sometimes we live from this 262 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:12.279 place that if only I can, or if I make 263 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.480 it to health, or if I if I get that promotion, 264 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.839 or if I you know, if I get that relationship 265 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.440 or whatever it is, then all of a sudden we 266 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:28.000 feel like royalty. No no, no, you're already it. You're 267 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.920 already walking it right now. We gotta walk it. We 268 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.000 gotta talk it, we gotta run with it, we gotta 269 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.880 act like it. It's gonna require us to do some 270 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.559 things because we have a responsibility to carry it. Now, 271 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:49.160 see if our victory includes us soon as I you've 272 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.359 allowed the enemy to talk you out of it, your 273 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.519 victory can't include us, doon as your victory should only 274 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.160 be Jesus has already conquered the enemy in my life. 275 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.039 Jesus has already conquered death. Jesus has already conquered that addiction. 276 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:10.759 Jesus has conquered that sickness. Jesus has conquered everything that 277 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:16.359 has held me back. When we live from a place 278 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.680 of royalty, and we live from that place of the throne, room, 279 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.319 influence is ours, things begin to go our way. All 280 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.279 of a sudden, they wonder, who are you, Where did 281 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.880 you come from? What did you eat last night? What 282 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.200 cheerios did you have this morning? What breakfasts of champions? 283 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.920 Are you interested to come on? Well? 284 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.519 Because when you live from this. 285 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.359 Place, it is a place of victory, It's a place 286 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.559 of conquer It is the address of conquering people. 287 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:51.359 I love. 288 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.119 The scripture in Romans eight thirty seven, it says this says, 289 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.599 Yet even in the midst of all these things, all 290 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.119 the things that trouble us, all the things that hold 291 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.799 us back, he says, we triumph over them all, for 292 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.759 God has made us to be more than conquerors and 293 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:15.200 demonstrated love in our glorious victory and over everything. 294 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.359 Wow. Come on, and that sounds like a great address 295 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:19.000 to live from. 296 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.920 Right there, Amen, The most important thing that the Bible 297 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.720 teaches us is that Jesus has finished the work for 298 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.599 our salvation. He has finished the work for our healing, 299 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.640 He has finished the work for our deliverance. He has 300 00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:43.599 finished it all, and we are seated with him as victors. 301 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.279 We're not trying to win anything. We've already won it. 302 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.680 Some one O three says that we've been crowned with favor. 303 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.920 This is kind of cool. He didn't say I have 304 00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.720 given you favor, or that I've put favor on you. 305 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.759 That'd be good and that's cool, but he says, you've 306 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:12.079 been crowned with favor, and so that you know you're 307 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.759 supposed to reign. Don't take the back seat to anybody 308 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:20.160 you've been crowned with favor one. You don't see a 309 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:26.799 way I've been crowned with favor man. Whatever we're facing, 310 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.400 whatever that's been reigning over us, dysfunction, insecurity, lack, sickness, depressed, 311 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.200 and anxiety, regardless of how big it is, When we 312 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.400 step into faith, there's gonna be a shift, and that 313 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.519 thing that's been raining over you, you will be raining over it. 314 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.960 Thank you Jesus. 315 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:58.599 We can't face another day believing or wondering if we 316 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.880 can win this battle. I hope you here today knowing 317 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.319 that you've already won. It's yours. Come on, take the victory, 318 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.039 Take the victory lap. Get the party going. You've already won. 319 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.160 Come on, get the party going. You've already got the healing. 320 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.240 Get the party going. You've already been promoted. Get the 321 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:16.960 party going. God has already set you free. Get the 322 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:28.119 party going. We get to live from from the throne. 323 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.200 We get to live for the throne. This is the 324 00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:38.960 place of ministry. When you live for the throne, you're 325 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:44.559 living in a place that begins to call out the sickness, 326 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.599 call out the disease, call out the infirmity, call out 327 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.839 the things that are holding people back and begin to 328 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.519 bring them up to the level that you have been 329 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:56.519 on for a while. 330 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.319 When you live for the Throne, all of a sudden and. 331 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.200 Your life is intertwined with everything that God has for you, 332 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:07.559 and there isn't a moment that you can't You can't 333 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.799 get away from the Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom 334 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.640 of God can't get away from you. And this place 335 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.759 that's entwined requires you to like always think Kingdom thoughts. 336 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.519 You're never caught up in the worry of the world 337 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:28.279 because your focus is on the Kingdom of God. That 338 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.480 doesn't excuse us from doing our part. It just requires 339 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.480 us to take responsibility to bring the Kingdom of God 340 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:43.599 into everyday living. For Thessalonian says, for what is our 341 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.759 hope or joy or crown of rejoicing, It is not 342 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.839 even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus. 343 00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:54.279 Christ, for you are our glory. He's talking there. 344 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.440 About winning people and how that that's going to be 345 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.759 part of his reward in heaven and of our reward 346 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.359 in heaven. The Bible says he who wins souls as wives, 347 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.039 there's a reward for those of us that are out 348 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:10.720 trying to bring people into the Kingdom of God, and 349 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.000 we should be proud when we touch people's lives. 350 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:15.440 We should be excited. 351 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.880 When people get touched by what God's doing through us 352 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:18.599 and for us. 353 00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:26.640 You are our glorious pride. One version says. 354 00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.559 We've got to be involved in the culture to make 355 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.400 that happen. We've got to be willing to say, you 356 00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:38.960 know what, I want to help those that are down 357 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:39.839 and those that are out. 358 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.559 If I'm living for the. 359 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.440 Kingdom of God, there's not a moment that goes by 360 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.279 where I don't try and connect what I'm doing with 361 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.839 the Kingdom. 362 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.240 There's no disconnect. 363 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.000 I can't be one thing at home, another at the church, 364 00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.160 another one at work, another one in the entertainment, whatever 365 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:06.359 it is. I've got to live one way. I've got 366 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.640 to be the same person constantly, because if I'm going 367 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.759 to truly live for the Kingdom of God, I'm going 368 00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.160 to be impacting people with my royalty. I use my 369 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:31.519 royalty as influenced to change their lives. Ephesians two says 370 00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:35.200 this says, even when we were dead in our trespasses, 371 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:42.559 He made us alive together in Christ and raised us 372 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.480 up together, made us to sit in those heavenly places 373 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:50.839 with Christ Jesus that in the ages to come, Come on, 374 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:52.799 He's about to show you something. 375 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.519 In the ages to come, he might. 376 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.920 Show the exceeding riches of his grace and his kind 377 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:01.279 toward us. 378 00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:06.240 In Christ Jesus, Wow, come on, you are. 379 00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.799 To be an example by what He's done in your life, 380 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:14.839 not just for you, but so that others can see 381 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.960 what He can do through you and in themselves. You 382 00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.640 are the light of the world. You are the hope 383 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.720 for this world. I'll say this because I wrote it 384 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:34.519 down the other day. This verse gives us responsibility, not theology. 385 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.759 There's a lot of theology out there, but we need 386 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:43.880 some responsibility to go with that. He's made us something great. 387 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.960 He has set us in a high place above the enemy. Amen, 388 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.119 a lot of us have How many of you have 389 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:56.200 a wardrobe at home? 390 00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:03.599 All of you? Hopefully we all do. A guy like me, 391 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.240 I've got. 392 00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:11.240 Also a wardrobe of hats at home for obvious reasons. 393 00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.279 If it's sunny, I don't want to get burned. If 394 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:20.359 it's raining, I don't want to get wet, and if 395 00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:30.359 it's cold, I want my wigwam. But I want to 396 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:36.720 encourage you with something God's given you a wardrobe of crowns, 397 00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:47.319 and those crowns represent your identity in Him. 398 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.839 The Bible is full of these. 399 00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.400 When I was researching this, I've stunned at how many 400 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:59.400 different crowns there are listed in the Bible. But James 401 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:07.160
