Take a moment to hear a few of the Principles of Kingdom Influence to be applied in the Marketplace (the world system). The Bible mentions that He who wins souls is wise. This does not mean that you are credited for the number of seats filled in your sanctuary, but the results from the methods used to change people's minds are a testament to you showing them how to apply God's principles in their lives. The world needs what we have! Be like a sheep among wolves. Not to be afraid of them, but to attract them, so that you can influence them. Learn how to adapt to your surroundings, without adopting your surroundings. The world is looking for the Kingdom of God, not religion. The Kingdom of God is not a religion, but a Country, a Community, and a Culture. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/crowning-ignorant-kings--2714790/support.

## Transcript

[0:09] You're listening to Crowning Ignorant Kings, a podcast for citizens with like minds who
[0:15] love God, follow Christ, and have a desire to be an ambassador for
[0:20] the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. We are John and Charlene Donaldson, who
[0:25] are teachers building a kingdom community. Thank you again for joining us. Now
[0:30] let's adjust our crowns. Okay, here we go. Principles of Kingdom influence
[0:43] in the marketplace, developing the skill. Notice the keyword here is skill to
[0:50] adopting, but not adopting the culture. The message wisdom for souls, proverbs.
[0:57] Can you guys see this? Okay? The fruit of the righteous is
[1:02] a tree of life. And you who win souls, that's the mind.
[1:06] When you're out there in Starbucks, in the gym, wherever you are,
[1:11] you work in on people's mind, their mentality. What was the first thing
[1:15] Jesus said when he came out of the desert. He says repent, which
[1:19] is not a religious word. That doesn't mean come down and repent of all
[1:22] your sins and your past and tell me everything. It's a word from psychology
[1:26] that means change your life, the way you're doing, change or way you're
[1:29] thinking. Because it's wrong. Remember Zacchius was in the tree. They've come
[1:33] to your house. And Zachius says, I'm gonna if everything that I've thieved
[1:38] from the people, everything i've stolen, remember because he milk with the people,
[1:42] because he was a task collector. I will give back four times and
[1:45] half of everything I own. And Jesus says, the kingdom has now coming
[1:48] to you because he changed the way he did things. He didn't even say
[1:52] your prayer. Jesus never gave an altar call. But Zachia's changed the way
[1:57] he did things. He says, Now the kingdom has coming to you.
[2:00] So work on our spirit man in the kingdom. And now you have to
[2:02] change how you think because this kingdom operates differently than what we've been trained.
[2:07] Okay, So we're working on people's minds out there, the mentalities, that's
[2:13] what we're working with. So I'm sending you out like sheep. Jesus said,
[2:16] sheep among wolves. Now when wolf's see a sheep, they're attracted to
[2:23] the sheep. Yes, they come looking, they want to come around the
[2:27] sheep. Right now, what happens when a religious person walks into a place
[2:30] I have arrived. I am doctor so and so, and I'm a bishop,
[2:35] man of God. They run, they see the collar, they run.
[2:39] I run. So be wise when you're out there, because the sinners
[2:46] should be attracted to you. They say, Man, I don't know why,
[2:49] but I feel good when I'm around you. And you don't have to
[2:52] say, oh, that's the anointing all my life? Why are you so
[2:55] happy? People ask me and Robert Alt what drugs are you? Guys?
[3:00] I want what you have? They say that to us. We say no,
[3:04] no, no, no, no, We're not under any drugs.
[3:07] But what I have will freely give to you if you want to know more.
[3:09] So let people inquire of you, seek out what you have. Because
[3:15] you are a light. You should be evident, so you're supposed to be
[3:17] attractive to them. Go into all the world, not the church, they
[3:23] men. Everybody the world needs what you have, So don't confine yourself to
[3:30] these four walls Starbucks. The people there need what you have. Don't go
[3:36] in talking about the blood. They don't know. If I went to the
[3:39] HYMNWS and I'm like, don't you understand what the blood did for you?
[3:44] They'd be like, what, who does somebody? Martyr? We don't understand
[3:47] which so your semantics are your biggest problem. So the semantics are for the
[3:53] family, but not out there. An offended brother is more yielding than afford
[3:59] a by city. So if you go in and offend them just by your
[4:04] attitude or the things that you say, they're already shut off and you can
[4:09] never win them. Never. Jesus was a friend of sinners. They loved
[4:13] them. So the goal in the marketplace is to go and don't offend,
[4:16] but become their friends. That's what Jesus did. He said, I'm going
[4:19] to go to your house and eat dinner. But wow, he's coming to
[4:24] our house, So go to the sinner's house and eat dinner. But this
[4:28] isn't about a notch is on our belt and getting converts. We're making disciples.
[4:32] Disciple are friends, people that can open up and trust you in your
[4:36] home. So being different is not an offense if you detail your person and
[4:42] feel it by your words, for your attitude. So here we are.
[4:45] Paul was so smart he knew what he was doing a lot of you know
[4:48] the scripture. He says, though I'm free, I belong to know me,
[4:51] and I nanke myself a slave to everyone why to win as many as
[4:57] possible. So around the religious people, I become like um religious. But
[5:01] around the wine members, I am acting just like not acting as a drunkards,
[5:05] but I become just like them. So you camouflage and you adapt to
[5:13] the environment you're in, but you don't adopt it because you come in you're
[5:18] the light and the songs. Okay, I become weak. I become all
[5:24] things, all men, so that by all means possible, I might save
[5:27] some. I do this for the sake of the kingdom. They feel the
[5:30] anointing, the love, the joy, the peace that you have in your
[5:34] life, qualities of peace. Peppy is more qualified than I am to teach
[5:39] all this, but I'm gonna give it a stab. Jesus said, the
[5:42] kingdom is like yeast. He worked with twelve men. He didn't have a
[5:47] megachurch. He didn't have fifty thousand. As a matter of fact, when
[5:50] it grew too big, he sent them out. Is okay, Now I've
[5:56] trained you, I've shown you what this looks like. Now go out and
[5:59] tell me. So. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. In
[6:03] the it's under the radar. I love how God works. Yeast is not
[6:10] intimidated by dough. You an't supposed to be intimidated by the Muslims because you
[6:15] know what you have. You have truth, you have the answers, and
[6:18] you know what they're looking for. The Hindus don't intimidate me. I know
[6:23] what they're looking for, and I know I carry the good stuff. The
[6:29] yeast doesn't become the dope. It expands under pressure and heat. Many troubles
[6:35] will come you a way. We are promised troubles and adversity, But kingdom
[6:41] citizens are built for adversity. Religious people only built for blessings. So we
[6:46] thrive under pressure and heat because that's when the kingdom expands and our king gets
[6:53] the glory. Yes, it's useless in the package. The most unproductive time
[7:00] it is a Sunday morning in the Kingdom of God. It's a good time
[7:05] for training, equipping, qualifyings, teaching, But the most active time where
[7:12] the fun is is out there. It's fun out there. So when I
[7:16] go in with Kingdom truths, they're reasonable, the fundamental, the fundamental,
[7:23] they're natural, the universal. You can go into any environment, any atmosphere
[7:28] with the truth from God's word and people understand it. But you can't bring
[7:32] your semantics and your traditions in. They're not looking for your traditions. They're
[7:39] looking for this kingdom, which is a country. It's a different lifestyle.
[7:42] They're not looking for religion, so don't bring that in kingdom. Truths are
[7:47] not religious, they're principal base and they are sought after. When people hear
[7:53] them, they want more. When I went to India, I could not
[7:57] believe the response because at first I couldn't tell. They were all kind of
[8:00] stone face. And I had about one hundred and twenty five hundred and fifty
[8:03] Hindu businessmen. Seventy percent were Hindus. They were so excited because these Hindus
[8:11] came and only about thirty percent Christians. So they had considered this successful.
[8:16] They had been wanting to do this for five years. These people had this
[8:18] vision to do business, marketplace influence, and five years they've been waiting for
[8:22] me to come, my guest to do the first one. And I gave
[8:26] it my all, give it all you've got, and then my job was
[8:30] done. And afterwards they said, you messed with their minds. And now
[8:35] I understand why there were stone cold face, because I was messing. I
[8:41] was adjusting their perception. And that's what you are, perception adjusters. And
[8:46] they said, we couldn't comprehend everything you were saying for forty five minutes.
[8:50] It just we were killed. Killed. And they said, you have to
[8:54] come back and teach us for three days so we can comprehend these truths,
[8:58] these things you who are speaking of m promoting principles. Principles are more important
[9:05] than facts. Kingdom. Principles are natural truth. They cannot be denied.
[9:11] They're reasonable, they're attractive, they're inherented nature. Like Pephew was saying,
[9:16] use birds, car, airplane, use our concepts to explain his concepts.
[9:22] That's what Jesus did. Principles appeal to human nature and they do not offect.
[9:28] Use subscripture as a reference, use personality to the Bible as a reference.
[9:33] You can't go in and say, you know John the Baptist said,
[9:37] they don't know who John, John, Johnny Walker, who are you talking
[9:41] about? For those of you that's an alcohol. But I was like,
[9:54] I use Jesus as a reference and as authority. Use quotes from Proverbs' authority.
[10:01] Proverbs is an amazing place to get truths from. Quote other sources along
[10:07] with scripture. Paul did this. Let me go to the next one.
[10:11] Quote poets like Paul did. Paul said he related to them in a way.
[10:16] He says, even your poets understand this, Paul did, so use
[10:20] use wisdom the future kingdom world changers will be well read and diverse in their
[10:24] society. So turn off the TV. You are dangerous people and you will
[10:28] transform society. But you have to be you have to be well read and
[10:35] what's going on in current affairs. If you're going to relate to people out
[10:39] there, that's true. Remember we're out there. He's got be relevant.
[10:43] So relate to them where they're at, and then you can start discipling them.
[10:46] Remember we're trying to get them into a country, a kingdom, not
[10:50] into your church. They'll eventually come around, but the goal is to become
[10:54] their friends and not offend them. And sometimes it takes time, but they
[11:00] will come to you concepts. We're gonna finish off with this. The kingdom
[11:03] is not a religion, but a government a country. If you're trying to
[11:07] get people in your congregation but not into try not you try not together them
[11:11] in your congregation, but into the Kingdom of God. Kingdom is a community.
[11:15] People are looking for community. I mean they go looking for them in
[11:20] the gyms, in the clubs, social groups, Facebook. People are looking
[11:26] for community. That's what we're offering them. A family, not a religion.
[11:31] Kingdom is a society, is a culture, social system, and it's
[11:35] practical. Don't be super spiritual on them. It's not about converts in your
[11:41] notches. That's the signage. Thank you for listening to Crowning Ignorant Kings,
