## Transcript

[0:09] Speaker 1: You're listening to Crowning Ignorant Kings, a podcast for citizens
[0:14] Speaker 1: with like minds who love God, follow Christ, and have
[0:17] Speaker 1: a desire to be an ambassador for the Kingdom of
[0:21] Speaker 1: Heaven on earth. We are John and Charlene Donaldson, who
[0:25] Speaker 1: are teachers building a Kingdom community. Thank you again for
[0:29] Speaker 1: joining us. Now let's adjust our crowns.
[0:39] Speaker 2: I'm going to give you an address.
[0:43] Speaker 3: Because this is a convention that was convened to bring
[0:49] Speaker 3: believers together from many different countries who have a desire
[0:54] Speaker 3: to tap in to God's current agenda so that we
[0:59] Speaker 3: don't continue to do business as usual, but rather do
[1:03] Speaker 3: what is important to God. This building is called the
[1:08] Speaker 3: Diplomat Center for a reason. We did not name this
[1:13] Speaker 3: building the way traditional religious organizations name buildings. The reason
[1:21] Speaker 3: why that was intentionally not done is because we did
[1:24] Speaker 3: not want this building.
[1:26] Speaker 2: To produce religious people.
[1:33] Speaker 3: This building is called the Diplomat Center because that term
[1:38] Speaker 3: is taken from the official designation given to a person who.
[1:45] Speaker 2: Is appointed by a.
[1:47] Speaker 3: Government to represent that government in another territory. The title
[1:53] Speaker 3: given to that person is ambassador.
[2:00] Speaker 2: This designation.
[2:03] Speaker 3: Is the same designation given to you, who are believers.
[2:10] Speaker 2: By your government.
[2:12] Speaker 3: In the constitution that sits on your lap tonight, called
[2:16] Speaker 3: the Bible. The Bible specifically stresses that you are ambassadors
[2:24] Speaker 3: representing Christ and his kingdom government. Therefore, being an ambassador,
[2:32] Speaker 3: you are recognized as a diplomat. A diplomat usually carry
[2:43] Speaker 3: out his duties in a building called an embassy. An
[2:49] Speaker 3: embassy is always the property of the country that it represents.
[3:01] Speaker 3: An ambassador is not a religious.
[3:06] Speaker 2: Person.
[3:08] Speaker 3: An ambassador is even more than a political person. An
[3:15] Speaker 3: ambassador is a personification of the country that he represents.
[3:25] Speaker 2: And therefore, this meeting is called by.
[3:31] Speaker 3: An invitation sent to you from the government of Heaven
[3:39] Speaker 3: to call you to this diplomatic center to gather at
[3:44] Speaker 3: this embassy to discuss kingdom issues that are on the
[3:49] Speaker 3: agenda of our government. And we must think properly in
[3:55] Speaker 3: response to the message. We represent the government of Heaven
[4:05] Speaker 3: on earth, so Earth is not.
[4:10] Speaker 2: The source of our government.
[4:13] Speaker 3: An ambassador's government is never in the same country as
[4:18] Speaker 3: the ambassador, and therefore we represent a country and a
[4:28] Speaker 3: government that is not of this world. But we've been
[4:35] Speaker 3: sent into this world to represent that government and its interests,
[4:44] Speaker 3: and therefore we have no right to represent ourselves if
[4:56] Speaker 3: you ever speak to an ambassador about an issue, those
[5:03] Speaker 3: of you who are acquainted with the diplomatic corps of
[5:06] Speaker 3: which I am a part here in my own country,
[5:11] Speaker 3: one of the things you will be trained to think
[5:15] Speaker 3: is that you never speak and give your personal opinion.
[5:23] Speaker 3: And this is still not understood by those who represent Heaven.
[5:29] Speaker 3: An ambassador never gives his personal opinion. As a matter
[5:34] Speaker 3: of fact, it is not proper for an ambassador to
[5:39] Speaker 3: ever share his personal opinion in public. An ambassador only
[5:48] Speaker 3: speaks in this manner and I quote, my government's position is,
[5:55] Speaker 3: and then he speaks.
[6:00] Speaker 2: If you were to study.
[6:02] Speaker 3: The mode of representation by the Chief Ambassador who was
[6:12] Speaker 3: on this territory two thousand years ago, and you to
[6:16] Speaker 3: analyze his speech, you would hear him speak like this.
[6:21] Speaker 3: I quote, I say nothing of myself, but I only
[6:32] Speaker 3: speak what I hear my government say. I believe one
[6:42] Speaker 3: of the principal reasons why we have not been effective
[6:47] Speaker 3: nor successful in representing our government is because we keep
[6:53] Speaker 3: giving the territory our opinion on issues.
[7:03] Speaker 2: We make our jobs.
[7:04] Speaker 3: Difficult when we give our opinions, because when you give
[7:09] Speaker 3: your opinion, you must also defend it. But the easiest
[7:16] Speaker 3: job in the world is the job of an ambassador.
[7:21] Speaker 3: Because an ambassador never has to be original.
[7:27] Speaker 2: You should take notes.
[7:28] Speaker 3: At this point, an ambassador simply repeats what he's been
[7:35] Speaker 3: instructed to say by his government. Therefore, when issues arise,
[7:47] Speaker 3: like the use of stems or stem cells for research,
[7:54] Speaker 3: you don't give your opinion. You must discover what your
[8:00] Speaker 3: government's position is on tampering with products of the womb,
[8:09] Speaker 3: and so.
[8:12] Speaker 2: We must think correctly.
[8:16] Speaker 3: The state of our world today is cause for great despair.
[8:25] Speaker 3: Fear and anxiety, both personally and nationally, have caused depression.
[8:36] Speaker 3: Globalization has placed the economics.
[8:39] Speaker 2: Of the world in a very fragile balance.
[8:43] Speaker 3: Politically, the spirit of unrest and confusion and instability prevails
[8:52] Speaker 3: in every continent.
[8:53] Speaker 2: Of the world. Have you noticed even in the great
[8:58] Speaker 2: democracies there is instability.
[9:02] Speaker 3: The anti globalization movement is gathering momentum, causing fear and
[9:09] Speaker 3: anxiety among those who feel helplessly caught in a global
[9:15] Speaker 3: tide of convergence of the post modern change. Global health
[9:23] Speaker 3: epidemics such as AIDS, poverty, unrelated diseases are creating an
[9:30] Speaker 3: atmosphere of desperation in our own country.
[9:34] Speaker 2: The Bahamas.
[9:36] Speaker 3: I am very sad to say that we have been
[9:39] Speaker 3: rated number three per capita for AIDS epidemic in the
[9:44] Speaker 3: world by the United Nations Statistics. Then there is the
[9:51] Speaker 3: plight of our youth. There's labor unrest, escalating crime in
[10:00] Speaker 3: every community, students killing their teachers now and children killing
[10:08] Speaker 3: their parents, the drug trade, corruption in every sphere. Even
[10:14] Speaker 3: religious intolerance have become a major issue. Ethnic wars where
[10:21] Speaker 3: people kill their neighbor because they don't speak the same language.
[10:26] Speaker 2: Racism is still alive, abuse of the weak is present.
[10:35] Speaker 3: These are only some of the challenges of the twenty
[10:39] Speaker 3: first century world that you claim to represent the Kingdom
[10:43] Speaker 3: of God in I ask you, do you have this
[10:46] Speaker 3: stuff to deal with that list. Added to this complex
[10:53] Speaker 3: web of social problems is the advent of the computer
[10:59] Speaker 3: age techno. And yet, with all of its assets and advantages,
[11:06] Speaker 3: it has improved the pace and the coverage of communication,
[11:11] Speaker 3: but it has not improved the quality of the news
[11:15] Speaker 3: we convey through that communication. In fact, what computer age
[11:21] Speaker 3: has done is it allows bad news to travel faster.
[11:29] Speaker 3: These challenges are further compounded by the global explosion of
[11:35] Speaker 3: other natural disasses such as earthquakes in unexpecting places now
[11:41] Speaker 3: farming and hurricanes and floods and cyclones which daily devastate
[11:47] Speaker 3: and displace millions of people without homes and food. And
[11:53] Speaker 3: the most recent addition to our planets worries and woes
[11:59] Speaker 3: is the current debate over the value and sanctity of
[12:04] Speaker 3: human life. The challenge of the questions of human ploning,
[12:11] Speaker 3: an abortion, and now stem cell research have become top news.
[12:19] Speaker 2: Could you imagine.
[12:21] Speaker 3: We, as a scientifically advanced society, priding ourselves on our civility,
[12:30] Speaker 3: are now considering sacrificing our.
[12:34] Speaker 2: Own children for our own personal benefit.
[12:44] Speaker 3: Are we any different from the ancient tribes of the
[12:48] Speaker 3: Canaanites and the Babylonians who offered their children on the
[12:53] Speaker 3: altar of sacrifice to appease their deities to protect their
[12:57] Speaker 3: own interests? Is that any different from taking an embryo
[13:03] Speaker 3: from a womb and sacrifice it for your own survival.
[13:10] Speaker 3: The recent announcement by the most powerful leader of the
[13:14] Speaker 3: free world to give governmental sanction to the use of
[13:19] Speaker 3: human embryo for scientific research should send a shockwave through
[13:25] Speaker 3: the sea of our consciousness.
[13:28] Speaker 2: If we have any.
[13:29] Speaker 3: Left today, we are permitted to use dead, frozen embryos,
[13:39] Speaker 3: but tomorrow we must use living ones from the wombs
[13:45] Speaker 3: of poor third world women desperate for financial security. In essence,
[13:54] Speaker 3: once again the poor countries will be taking advantage of
[14:02] Speaker 3: And you hear me clearly, the poor countries will not
[14:07] Speaker 3: only be dumping grounds for poisoned food, a nuclear waste
[14:13] Speaker 3: and condouance for illegal drugs.
[14:15] Speaker 2: We are not only gonna be.
[14:18] Speaker 3: The dumping ground of criminals, but now we're gonna become
[14:23] Speaker 3: a fertile field for harvesting human embryos to furnish im
[14:28] Speaker 3: moral scientists in civic countries with resource material. And the
[14:35] Speaker 3: saints still don't understand what I just said. At this point,
[14:44] Speaker 3: I must stress.
[14:47] Speaker 2: That any question that has to do with the dignity.
[14:52] Speaker 3: And the value of human life takes the debate out
[14:58] Speaker 3: of the realm of science.
[15:01] Speaker 2: And puts it in the sphere of morality. Morality is
[15:06] Speaker 2: a spiritual issue, not.
[15:08] Speaker 3: A scientific one, and therefore it must be left to
[15:13] Speaker 3: the dictates of the.
[15:14] Speaker 2: Creator, not man.
[15:18] Speaker 3: If this be so, then the abortion, the cloning, and
[15:25] Speaker 3: the stem cell research issue is a spiritual issue, not
[15:31] Speaker 3: a scientific one. And if it is spiritual, then those
[15:36] Speaker 3: who represent the government of God, the Creator of all
[15:41] Speaker 3: life on earth, and I'm speaking about you, the Church,
[15:46] Speaker 3: then we must speak out on these issues. I declare,
[15:50] Speaker 3: without compromise tonight to this gathering of believers from around
[15:55] Speaker 3: the world.
[15:58] Speaker 2: That whenever science.
[16:00] Speaker 3: Clashes with morality, science must bow to morality.
[16:14] Speaker 2: So what are the answers to these challenges?
[16:19] Speaker 3: What is the solution to all these problems they'll be
[16:21] Speaker 3: grappling with. God's response to man's problems from the beginning
[16:30] Speaker 3: was literally out of this world. In essence, God's conclusion
[16:38] Speaker 3: was that man's problems and his needs could only be
[16:43] Speaker 3: met by an invasion from another world.
[16:48] Speaker 2: That world is called Heaven. The Bible says, for God's.
[16:57] Speaker 3: So love the world that he did not call an election,
[17:07] Speaker 3: but for God's soul loved the world, he sent someone
[17:10] Speaker 3: into it from another world. One of the most powerful
[17:16] Speaker 3: statements declared by this principal representative, his name is Yeshuah
[17:22] Speaker 3: Amashiah English Jesus Christ, sums up God's solution and I
[17:28] Speaker 3: quote Jesus, my kingdom is not of this world, and
[17:34] Speaker 3: I am in this world, but I am not.
[17:37] Speaker 2: Of this world. End quote. What a quote.
[17:41] Speaker 3: These statements imply that the future of the world and
[17:45] Speaker 3: mankind is only secured in submission to the Kingdom from
[17:51] Speaker 3: another world. The entire message and focus of the Bible
[17:57] Speaker 3: and the work of Jesus Christ was and.
[18:01] Speaker 2: Still is the Kingdom of God.
[18:05] Speaker 3: The answer to the world's condition is the Kingdom of God.
[18:12] Speaker 3: This year's convention will focus on this principle and most important.
[18:19] Speaker 2: Issue of the Kingdom of God.
[18:22] Speaker 3: Religion is God's number one problem, always has been, always.
[18:35] Speaker 2: Was, same as if still is.
[18:42] Speaker 3: Religion has become more important than the Kingdom of God.
[18:49] Speaker 3: And yet in this new century God has had enough.
[18:57] Speaker 3: God is now desiring to restore the priority, the power,
[19:03] Speaker 3: the position, and the credibility.
[19:07] Speaker 2: Of the Kingdom of God in our everyday life experience.
[19:12] Speaker 3: Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven has arrived, we are.
[19:17] Speaker 2: Still in religion saying it's coming.
[19:21] Speaker 3: In this year's convention, we will address this practical issue
[19:26] Speaker 3: of this kingdom and how it impacts our daily lives now,
[19:30] Speaker 3: on our jobs, in our homes as housewives, in college
[19:34] Speaker 3: and high school, as students.
[19:35] Speaker 2: We are going to look at the.
[19:37] Speaker 3: Reality that the Kingdom of God is not some imagination
[19:41] Speaker 3: that you add to your religion, but it's a practical
[19:44] Speaker 3: necessity for survival every day. The Kingdom of God is
[19:49] Speaker 3: relevant to your government and your homes and your families.
[19:54] Speaker 3: And until we get this right, we're going to be
[19:56] Speaker 3: nothing but a religion that talks and nothing happens. This week,
[20:02] Speaker 3: we expect an encounter that will equip us with the
[20:06] Speaker 3: knowledge and the wisdom and the courage to apply the
[20:10] Speaker 3: principle of this great Kingdom to all of life, and
[20:13] Speaker 3: to demonstrate the power and the authority of another.
[20:17] Speaker 2: World in this world today.
[20:20] Speaker 3: Today, we are not here to focus on evangelism. And
[20:24] Speaker 3: I'm sorry if you got a problem with that statement.
[20:29] Speaker 3: This is a convention of believers. We're not here to
[20:40] Speaker 3: get lost in.
[20:41] Speaker 2: A religious ecclesiastical celebration.
[20:44] Speaker 3: For some mood and some emotional experience. No, but we
[20:48] Speaker 3: are here to look at ourselves as a universal church
[20:52] Speaker 3: and to ask ourselves some tough questions. Brother, we are
[20:58] Speaker 3: here to submit ourselves.
[20:59] Speaker 2: Yes, can I say it?
[21:00] Speaker 3: We are here to submit the Body of Christ to
[21:04] Speaker 3: its overdue generational checkup. Something is definitely wrong with the body.
[21:17] Speaker 3: We are sick, anemic. How dare we claim to represent
[21:26] Speaker 3: the God who made the universe? And we build these
[21:30] Speaker 3: buildings on every corner and we call them his church.
[21:33] Speaker 2: And in every community theres a church.
[21:36] Speaker 3: Age is increasing, Drugs is increasing, homosexuality is exploding. Prostitution
[21:42] Speaker 3: has free loose on all society, broken norms everywhere, including
[21:48] Speaker 3: the pulpit. Tell me the body is not sick. How
[21:56] Speaker 3: can a pass of today tell a married couple together
[22:00] Speaker 3: when he's been married four times. Something is definitely wrong,
[22:10] Speaker 3: and we are afraid to admit it.
[22:13] Speaker 2: But in this convention, throw your affairs away. Let's get
[22:17] Speaker 2: it on.
[22:17] Speaker 3: Let's be honest and say something's wrong. Let's find out
[22:21] Speaker 3: what it is, and you better respond to me. Now
[22:24] Speaker 3: say amen, I am getting too all to pretend I'm
[22:30] Speaker 3: doing good. We need to take an honest look at
[22:38] Speaker 3: the church, yes, the one you claim to be, And
[22:42] Speaker 3: if we are, you will see that we are busy
[22:46] Speaker 3: but not effective. We are active, but not progressive. We
[22:51] Speaker 3: build buildings, but we can't build nations. We preach to
[22:56] Speaker 3: ourselves while the world goes to hell.
[23:00] Speaker 2: We proclaim a power that is seldom manifested and promote a.
[23:04] Speaker 3: King who does not seem to have a real, relevant
[23:07] Speaker 3: and practical kingdom.
[23:11] Speaker 2: What is this?
[23:14] Speaker 3: We claim to be ambassadors, but it seems we don't
[23:17] Speaker 3: know the governor, the government we represented. We claim to
[23:22] Speaker 3: be ambassadors, and we don't seem to know even the
[23:25] Speaker 3: country were supposed to represent. I believe that deeply embedded
[23:33] Speaker 3: in this present channel challenge is a call from Heaven.
[23:39] Speaker 2: To the early church to stop.
[23:44] Speaker 3: I hear a loud sound from heaven saying to the
[23:48] Speaker 3: church just stop and then take a look at the
[23:59] Speaker 3: seventh most important questions.
[24:02] Speaker 2: Of any enterprise.
[24:05] Speaker 3: I'm going to give you the questions we got to
[24:06] Speaker 3: deal with in this century, and you mark my words.
[24:12] Speaker 2: These will be the questions. Number one, what is the church?
[24:20] Speaker 2: Number two? What is the original message of the church?
[24:26] Speaker 2: Number three? What is the original purpose of the church?
[24:33] Speaker 2: Number four? Who is the market of our business the church?
[24:42] Speaker 3: Number five? What is the original goal of the church?
[24:49] Speaker 2: Six? What should be the method of the church's business? Seven?
[24:59] Speaker 2: What is this is the original mandate of the church?
[25:05] Speaker 2: An eight what is the ultimate destiny of the church.
[25:13] Speaker 2: These are tough questions. We've got some very distinguished people
[25:18] Speaker 2: here and they are going to attempt to deal with
[25:24] Speaker 2: some of these questions. But today I.
[25:29] Speaker 3: Want to put a few thoughts up on the screen,
[25:33] Speaker 3: if I may, And this will be so that you
[25:38] Speaker 3: can see some of the things you want to talk about.
[25:43] Speaker 3: This week, I want to focus on the practical contemporary
[25:50] Speaker 3: kingdom life. I want to begin with a few thoughts
[25:56] Speaker 3: that may be helpful. There's a statement, and I want
[26:04] Speaker 3: to talk about what was the assignment of Jesus. Matthew
[26:11] Speaker 3: four seventeen is the first public statement made.
[26:14] Speaker 2: By Jesus, and it says after he came out of
[26:18] Speaker 2: the wilderness full of the Holy Spirit, after he was
[26:24] Speaker 2: tested and passed his tests, he.
[26:28] Speaker 3: Began his earthly ministry with this statement, and I'm going
[26:32] Speaker 3: to read it. It says, from that time forward, Jesus
[26:40] Speaker 3: began to preach.
[26:42] Speaker 2: What did he preach? Repent? He says, for the Kingdom
[26:50] Speaker 2: of Heaven has arrived.
[26:55] Speaker 3: His first statement in his public ministry, as in all
[27:01] Speaker 3: good leaders of organization, is his vision statement. His vision
[27:10] Speaker 3: statement is Claire. He said, let me begin. Let me
[27:14] Speaker 3: set the record straight. Why I came to earth. He
[27:17] Speaker 3: said for two things. One, I came to make you repent.
[27:22] Speaker 3: The word repent does not mean to come forward in
[27:26] Speaker 3: a church and bring up your past. The word repent
[27:30] Speaker 3: means to change your mind, to change the way you think.
[27:35] Speaker 3: In other words, his first vision statement was I came
[27:40] Speaker 3: to work on your mentality. And number two, because the
[27:46] Speaker 3: Kingdom of Heaven.
[27:48] Speaker 2: Has come to earth. That implies two things.
[27:51] Speaker 3: One the mind you have can't work in the kingdom,
[27:56] Speaker 3: and number two, the kingdom demands a new way of thinking,
[28:01] Speaker 3: or should I say, to those who are intelligent an
[28:05] Speaker 3: old way of thinking? In Luke Chapter four, this next
[28:12] Speaker 3: scripture blew my mind. It says verse forty two, But
[28:16] Speaker 3: he said, I must preach the good news of the
[28:20] Speaker 3: Kingdom of God to other towns.
[28:22] Speaker 2: Why say it loud? Everybody?
[28:25] Speaker 3: Why no read? Why I can't hear you? No say
[28:31] Speaker 3: it loud? You're supposed to be the church, say it loud?
[28:35] Speaker 3: Why was he read it loud? I can't hear you?
[28:41] Speaker 3: Why was he sent? And why did he preach that?
[28:47] Speaker 3: Because that's why he came. Why means purpose, Why means motivation.
[28:55] Speaker 2: Why means motive.
[28:57] Speaker 3: He's saying, the reason why I came is to preach
[29:01] Speaker 3: one thing, to declare one thing, and it's what the
[29:04] Speaker 3: Kingdom of God. He didn't come to bring a religion.
[29:06] Speaker 3: He came to bring a kingdom.
[29:11] Speaker 2: I'm telling you, friends, what is the assignment of the church.
[29:14] Speaker 3: Now we know his assignment let's see if we know ours,
[29:17] Speaker 3: it says in this Book of Matthew, chapter twenty.
[29:23] Speaker 2: Four, verse fourteen.
[29:24] Speaker 3: Christ is speaking to the believer, He says, and when
[29:28] Speaker 3: you go, remember this, this gospel of what the kingdom
[29:32] Speaker 3: will be preached where in the whole world, to who,
[29:37] Speaker 3: to all nations, as a testimony to them. And then
[29:41] Speaker 3: the end will come. When will the end come? We
[29:45] Speaker 3: know when the end will come. Christ never told us
[29:49] Speaker 3: we don't know when the end will come. What he
[29:54] Speaker 3: told us is we don't know today. So stop telling
[30:07] Speaker 3: people past this that we don't know when he's coming.
[30:09] Speaker 3: We do know when he's coming. We just don't know
[30:11] Speaker 3: the day. When is he coming? He's coming.
[30:16] Speaker 2: When we do something, what is it? Read it? When
[30:20] Speaker 2: we preach, come on, read aloud. And when this.
[30:23] Speaker 3: Gospel of prosperity, salvation, born again, fate money, come.
[30:28] Speaker 2: It, claim it, name it. No we wonder why he
[30:38] Speaker 2: here it.
[30:45] Speaker 3: He didn't even tell us to preach baptism in the
[30:48] Speaker 3: Holy Goods. And so he's waiting for two thousand years.
[31:00] Speaker 3: We are now at two thousand year point one. He's
[31:04] Speaker 3: hoping that in this generation he'll finally get a generation
[31:08] Speaker 3: of people who.
[31:09] Speaker 2: Will get the message right, come on, look at me
[31:12] Speaker 2: so funny. See the message there. I'm gonna blow your mind.
[31:17] Speaker 2: Hold on to your religion. He didn't say, preach born again.
[31:24] Speaker 3: Don't believe me, friends, I was brought up Baptists and
[31:29] Speaker 3: that's our flag, born again.
[31:30] Speaker 2: You can't take that from us. You take born again
[31:34] Speaker 2: from us, we ain't got much left tough questions.
[31:48] Speaker 3: Jesus mentioned born again once in the entire four Gospels. Once,
[32:00] Speaker 3: and he never mentioned it to a multitude of people.
[32:05] Speaker 2: Never. He never preached it. I never said it to
[32:09] Speaker 2: a muntheud of people never said it. What did he do?
[32:20] Speaker 3: He said it to an old man three o'clock in
[32:23] Speaker 3: the morning, one person.
[32:32] Speaker 2: Why did he say it to the old man? Because
[32:35] Speaker 2: the old.
[32:35] Speaker 3: Man got tired of him talking about the Kingdom of
[32:40] Speaker 3: God is like the Kingdom of God is like.
[32:43] Speaker 2: The Kingdom of God is like. The Kingdom of God
[32:45] Speaker 2: is like. The Kingdom of God is like.
[32:47] Speaker 3: The Kingdom of God is like. The Kingdom of God
[32:50] Speaker 3: is like. The Kingdom of God is like the Kingdom.
[32:52] Speaker 3: Demand said, look, well, you just shut up and tell me.
[32:54] Speaker 2: How to get in.
[33:02] Speaker 3: We have preached all the time. What he only mentioned once.
[33:11] Speaker 3: That's why he's not here. He said, the end will
[33:14] Speaker 3: come when you do.
[33:15] Speaker 2: A specific thing.
[33:17] Speaker 3: The average Christian leader graduated from a seminary know hardly
[33:28] Speaker 3: nothing about the Kingdom.
[33:30] Speaker 2: If anything asks them, there's no cause in the seminary
[33:37] Speaker 2: on Kingdom. I got a degree. I got a degree
[33:43] Speaker 2: in theology, and there's no cause. And yet I read
[33:51] Speaker 2: that statement PhD in God.
[34:00] Speaker 3: Yeah, and know nothing about the Kingdom.
[34:05] Speaker 2: This is serious, friends, we gotta deal with this.
[34:07] Speaker 3: And these are your bishops and your superintendents, and your overseers,
[34:12] Speaker 3: and your pastors, and your and your elders. And they
[34:15] Speaker 3: don't even know the gospel yet, how can you apply
[34:26] Speaker 3: which you never heard?
[34:31] Speaker 2: This is tough questions.
[34:36] Speaker 3: Let me read a verse your second assignment. Your second
[34:41] Speaker 3: assignment is Claire. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.
[34:52] Speaker 3: Now I am going to read the Religious Commission. This
[34:59] Speaker 3: one it is from Jesus. Let me read the Religious
[35:03] Speaker 3: Great Commission. The Religious Great Commission states, come ye, therefore
[35:12] Speaker 3: into all of Heaven, to hell with the nations. Just
[35:20] Speaker 3: get yourself saved and secure.
[35:23] Speaker 2: You're calling an election show.
[35:31] Speaker 3: Now we won't say that, but that's exactly what our
[35:33] Speaker 3: theology teaches we're not concerned about the nations were concerned
[35:40] Speaker 3: about heaven. Can I suggest to you that whenever an
[35:47] Speaker 3: ambassador misrepresents its government, listen carefully, and those of you
[35:52] Speaker 3: who are in government here today, you know.
[35:53] Speaker 2: This is true.
[35:54] Speaker 3: We're an ambassador, and here's a gentleman here from the
[35:57] Speaker 3: political arena of Haiti will tell you the truth, sir.
[36:02] Speaker 3: When an ambassador misrepresents a government, doesn't the government recall
[36:07] Speaker 3: that person. Yes, many people are dying, not because they're
[36:11] Speaker 3: ready to go to heaven. God is protecting his government
[36:24] Speaker 3: from confusion.
[36:31] Speaker 2: You didn't die, you were recalled.
[36:37] Speaker 3: I believe that if you and I begin to understand
[36:43] Speaker 3: and declare and to disseminate the God News of the Kingdom,
[36:49] Speaker 3: I believe you will live long. God will make sure
[36:53] Speaker 3: you live long because there's tough to find one.
[36:56] Speaker 2: Who does it.
[36:59] Speaker 3: He'll be so excited he'll patch you up and tell
[37:02] Speaker 3: you one hundred and three why because he can't find
[37:06] Speaker 3: too many faithful witnesses preaching the right message. I believe
[37:11] Speaker 3: if you're sick today and you want to live long,
[37:13] Speaker 3: you better come to this comforts.
[37:15] Speaker 2: And stay here until you get the message. It'll be
[37:17] Speaker 2: the best medicine to your life. Read the rest of this.
[37:25] Speaker 2: He says, the num, when they believe the good news,
[37:27] Speaker 2: baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and
[37:30] Speaker 2: Holy goes.
[37:31] Speaker 3: And then he says, to teach them what the things
[37:35] Speaker 3: that I have taught you.
[37:38] Speaker 2: Our job is to take the nation and make the
[37:41] Speaker 2: nation our students.
[37:44] Speaker 3: The word disciple means learner in Hebrew, you not I
[37:48] Speaker 3: mean in Greek rather, and it simply means a student.
[37:50] Speaker 3: And the Bible says, go into all the nation and
[37:54] Speaker 3: make them your students. What's the curriculum teaching them? Not
[37:59] Speaker 3: you are pet doctrines. When you teach them what I
[38:09] Speaker 3: taught you, What does he teach us? The Kingdom of
[38:12] Speaker 3: God is right, the Kingdom of God is like, the Kingdom.
[38:15] Speaker 2: Of God is like.
[38:16] Speaker 3: The Kingdom of God is like, the Kingdom of God
[38:18] Speaker 3: is like. Apparently Christ is very convincing his own mind
[38:23] Speaker 3: that the nation wants the Kingdom of God. You missed it,
[38:31] Speaker 3: he says, go into all the nations and preach this
[38:35] Speaker 3: message the.
[38:36] Speaker 2: Kingdom of God.
[38:37] Speaker 3: He is assuming that the nation is wanting it. You
[38:43] Speaker 3: don't sell something people don't need. If you want to
[38:49] Speaker 3: go to business, sell something people don't need. How many
[38:57] Speaker 3: of you think God is a liar? How many of
[39:00] Speaker 3: you think that God doesn't know what he's talking about?
[39:03] Speaker 3: How manything that God is confused? How manything that God
[39:06] Speaker 3: is a loser and a failure. How manything God don't
[39:09] Speaker 3: do anything right. Well, if you don't believe those things,
[39:14] Speaker 3: then it must be true that the product called the
[39:18] Speaker 3: Kingdom of God is such a good product that God
[39:21] Speaker 3: guarantees you can sell it to every nation.
[39:27] Speaker 2: You ain't got it.
[39:30] Speaker 3: That means the nations are not looking for your denomination,
[39:33] Speaker 3: your doctrines, your traditions, and you'll let pet peeves.
[39:37] Speaker 2: They're looking for this stuff we don't know about. And
[39:39] Speaker 2: it's what I can't hear you.
[39:48] Speaker 3: There's a crown behind me. In January, the Lord spoke
[39:55] Speaker 3: to my heart in private. He said, I want you
[39:59] Speaker 3: to build the biggest crown in the Bahamas.
[40:02] Speaker 2: There it is, he said, put it where they can't
[40:06] Speaker 2: miss it. There it is.
[40:11] Speaker 3: The gentleman who made that is sitting over there. Stand up,
[40:16] Speaker 3: brother mcpheeney. He and his team they did a good job.
[40:25] Speaker 3: And all you pastors who would like a replica, please
[40:30] Speaker 3: talk to my manager.
[40:33] Speaker 2: And the Lord said to me take all crosses.
[40:36] Speaker 3: Down everywhere, he said, because a cross makes your building
[40:52] Speaker 3: a morgue. A cross keeps making you relive death. He says,
[41:16] Speaker 3: I want you to put in view constantly that.
[41:20] Speaker 2: Which the cross paid for. Now you are better make
[41:26] Speaker 2: a little more noise than that. I say, you're a
[41:30] Speaker 2: better make a little more noise than that. No, you
[41:33] Speaker 2: still ain't got the message.
[41:34] Speaker 3: This ain't about a cross, brother, It's about kingship. Whatever
[41:49] Speaker 3: you keep looking at, you become no wonder why the
[41:54] Speaker 3: church is so depressed. It visits a mague every sunday.
[42:18] Speaker 2: I think I should stop.
[42:28] Speaker 3: I am tired of religion because it doesn't work. Write
[42:38] Speaker 3: these thoughts down, please, they'll change your life. Number one,
[42:41] Speaker 3: The purpose for mine's creation was to administrate a kingdom.
[42:49] Speaker 3: Very clear in scripture, God said, let us make mine
[42:53] Speaker 3: in our own image and in our own likeness.
[42:56] Speaker 2: And let them have what dominion, and over.
[43:00] Speaker 3: What the fish, the birds, the trees, the animals, and
[43:03] Speaker 3: all the creeps. Number two, the fall of man was
[43:09] Speaker 3: the loss of a kingdom, not the lost of heaven.
[43:16] Speaker 2: Why is that important? Let me tell you what it's important,
[43:19] Speaker 2: my brother.
[43:20] Speaker 3: See, if you lost something and I want to restore
[43:25] Speaker 3: it back to you. But I give you something that
[43:29] Speaker 3: you didn't lost. Are you restored?
[43:32] Speaker 2: No?
[43:34] Speaker 3: Write this down. Man did not fall from heaven. He
[43:41] Speaker 3: fell from dominion.
[43:45] Speaker 2: So the only way God can restore man is to
[43:50] Speaker 2: give him back what he lost.
[43:54] Speaker 3: Giving man heaven is not restoration because he never lost that.
[44:04] Speaker 3: Some of you are wondering why God wouldn't take you
[44:10] Speaker 3: to heaven. How man, you notice, isn't it strange?
[44:15] Speaker 2: And you want to go to the place God wants
[44:17] Speaker 2: to keep you out of.
[44:23] Speaker 3: A religious prayer goes like this, brother Tony, a religious prayer.
[44:29] Speaker 3: Even now, come Lord, quickly, come Lord, take.
[44:32] Speaker 2: Us away from here.
[44:32] Speaker 3: Lord, too many martgage payments and life bills and water bills,
[44:36] Speaker 3: phone bills and tuition payment.
[44:38] Speaker 2: Help Lord, Oh God, please Lord direct man. The credit
[44:42] Speaker 2: is Oh, take us out of here, Lord. Sounds good.
[44:47] Speaker 3: The only problem is before you prayed that Jesus prayed
[44:52] Speaker 3: for you. His prayer went like this. In John chapter seventeen,
[45:17] Speaker 3: he says, Father, I know those Bahamans in two thousand years,
[45:25] Speaker 3: them Trinidadians and barb Agians and Jamaicans and Americans and Chinese.
[45:33] Speaker 2: I know what they're gonna pray. Them Africans especially lordy
[45:38] Speaker 2: them Puerto Ricans. I know them.
[45:40] Speaker 3: They're gonna ask me to take them out of the earth.
[45:43] Speaker 3: So before they pray, Father, let me put my order
[45:46] Speaker 3: in because you and I know Father, it's not about
[45:53] Speaker 3: taking them out of the world.
[45:54] Speaker 2: It's about getting them to dominate the thing. So Father,
[45:58] Speaker 2: do not take them. I can't hear you.
[46:01] Speaker 3: Do not take them out of the world, but leave
[46:04] Speaker 3: them in the world. Tell you, nab, I'm right where
[46:08] Speaker 3: he prayed me to be. Say Lord, I'm right where
[46:12] Speaker 3: he prayed me to be. So stop dreaming about heaven.
[46:16] Speaker 3: Unpack your bikes. You ain't going nowhere. You got work
[46:20] Speaker 3: to do.
[46:20] Speaker 2: You gotta dominate your situation. Come on, shout, somebody, Come on,
[46:28] Speaker 2: shout somebody again.
[46:33] Speaker 3: Could you imagine God being afraid of economic problems?
[46:38] Speaker 2: What kind of God you, sir?
[46:49] Speaker 3: Number three, the promise of redemption was to restore a kingdom,
[46:57] Speaker 3: not create a religion. Number four, the fulfillment of God's
[47:03] Speaker 3: will is the re establishment of his kingdom. And number five,
[47:12] Speaker 3: the program of salvation was to restore the government of
[47:20] Speaker 3: God on earth.
[47:21] Speaker 2: That's the program of salvation. That's what God wanted, that's
[47:27] Speaker 2: all he wanted. That's all he ever wants, and he
[47:30] Speaker 2: gonna get it. Matter of fact, Jesus said to the people.
[47:33] Speaker 3: In the sixth chapter of Matthew. He says, I promise
[47:37] Speaker 3: you that not one Comma or Jock will fall from
[47:45] Speaker 3: the law until every one of them is fulfilled. And
[47:51] Speaker 3: then it says, if God has to move.
[47:55] Speaker 2: Heaven and earth to keep what he desired, he will
[48:00] Speaker 2: do it.
[48:01] Speaker 3: And what that means is if he gotta make another earth,
[48:07] Speaker 3: he gonna make sure you gotta urt the rule.
[48:13] Speaker 2: Yea.
[48:14] Speaker 3: So when John went on an excursion toward heaven, John
[48:20] Speaker 3: said he saw some things that we don't like. First
[48:24] Speaker 3: he saw the saints crying. Now we've been taught in
[48:29] Speaker 3: our churches that when we all get to heaven, water
[48:36] Speaker 3: povery that will John said, I didn't see that.
[48:40] Speaker 2: When I ran there.
[48:41] Speaker 3: I saw the angels rejoicing, But I saw them humans
[48:45] Speaker 3: we've been and they were crying out how long? Now
[48:49] Speaker 3: imagine that preach that Sunday and the Bibles says brother
[49:00] Speaker 3: Monk that he will wipe away their tears. How he
[49:04] Speaker 3: gonna do it when he get them back in a
[49:07] Speaker 3: body and they return to this thing john saw, John says,
[49:16] Speaker 3: and then I saw this Replation.
[49:18] Speaker 2: Twenty one is the end of the thing. Man, it's
[49:20] Speaker 2: the end. I don't care where you think you go.
[49:22] Speaker 2: And you go into Revelation twenty one, that's why you headed.
[49:24] Speaker 3: And John says, I saw a new heaven and I
[49:27] Speaker 3: knew I can't hear you all.
[49:34] Speaker 2: Coming down.
[49:36] Speaker 3: Everybody say down, I'm going up, up, up, I'm going up.
[49:41] Speaker 3: God said, no, we're coming down down. See, religion is
[49:46] Speaker 3: so messed up. God is looking for.
[49:57] Speaker 2: Ruless, not jelly back yellow bellies running into heaven. Wanna
[50:04] Speaker 2: sit by a crystal river under the golden tree eating
[50:07] Speaker 2: silver grapes, You lazy thing. You Now. God wants dominators who.
[50:11] Speaker 3: Will look the word in the face and say I
[50:13] Speaker 3: will overcome you, just like Jesus did.
[50:16] Speaker 2: Christis, do not be afraid, for I have overcome the world.
[50:21] Speaker 2: You all better shock for the king just a little bit.
[50:29] Speaker 4: Yes, kingdom people, man, what is a kingdom?
[50:43] Speaker 3: Here's your revelation number one, And all kingdoms characterize themselves
[50:48] Speaker 3: by the following, all of them, including God's kingdom number one.
[50:53] Speaker 2: Every kingdom must have a king that's a sovereign.
[50:57] Speaker 3: By the way, let me stress he at this point
[51:00] Speaker 3: that those of you who were born in the Western
[51:04] Speaker 3: world know very little about a kingdom, you know, and
[51:10] Speaker 3: that's your problem. A republic is not a kingdom. A
[51:18] Speaker 3: democracy is not a kingdom. Look at that first word.
[51:24] Speaker 3: The word is sovereign. Sovereign means the box stops with
[51:28] Speaker 3: the king. A kingdom doesn't have a president nor a
[51:34] Speaker 3: prime minister. You don't vote the king. In my beloved
[51:37] Speaker 3: and the Bible is not a republic.
[51:40] Speaker 2: It's not a democracy. It's a kingdom. And Christ taught
[51:43] Speaker 2: a kingdom, which means that the words of the king
[51:46] Speaker 2: is law.
[51:48] Speaker 3: So when the king tells you something, you don't go
[51:51] Speaker 3: and discuss it, debate it and call a referendum. Let
[51:58] Speaker 3: me say something very crude, h A kingdom doesn't care
[52:04] Speaker 3: about your personal opinion.
[52:10] Speaker 2: Write that down. That's important. The king controls. So when
[52:21] Speaker 2: the king says phonication is sin, he don't want you
[52:25] Speaker 2: to debate that.
[52:30] Speaker 3: When the king says homosexuality is an abomination in his constitution,
[52:36] Speaker 3: he don't.
[52:36] Speaker 2: Want you to come in.
[52:37] Speaker 3: No hormonal explanation of your you know, your your your
[52:41] Speaker 3: scientific biological concoction. Listenhi, you don't debate the king's orders.
[52:58] Speaker 3: We have a democratic mind in the kingdom. We tell God,
[53:04] Speaker 3: he doesn't know what he's talking about.
[53:10] Speaker 2: He's a sovereign.
[53:13] Speaker 3: Do you know today we were in a meeting and
[53:16] Speaker 3: Professor Horner, one of the chief scholars of Greek studies,
[53:22] Speaker 3: he's with us tonight.
[53:24] Speaker 2: He's my professor in college.
[53:26] Speaker 3: And he have to translate a number of Bibles, so
[53:28] Speaker 3: he could tell you about this stuff, some of the
[53:32] Speaker 3: Bibles that you buy in your own store. This same
[53:33] Speaker 3: man right here is on a translation team. His name
[53:36] Speaker 3: is in those bibles, this man right here, And he said,
[53:40] Speaker 3: there are two words for Lord in reference to Jesus.
[53:45] Speaker 3: The first one is the word curios and it means
[53:51] Speaker 3: supreme Jehovah.
[53:53] Speaker 2: The other one means death spot. Now I write that down.
[54:01] Speaker 2: That's what they call Jesus in the Bible. He's desport.
[54:04] Speaker 2: Now to us, a despot is a dictator.
[54:07] Speaker 3: It's a negative word. But that's the word for Lord
[54:10] Speaker 3: in the Bible, which means he controls and owns.
[54:13] Speaker 2: You, a sovereign. So God says, lying is an abomination
[54:24] Speaker 2: to the Lord. Why are you still lying? Christians? Lie?
[54:35] Speaker 2: He says, stealing is an abomination.
[54:37] Speaker 3: I have been a Christian comfassist where people teeth my
[54:41] Speaker 3: book of the table.
[54:45] Speaker 2: Uh. That means steal for our visitors.
[54:48] Speaker 3: I mean in a Christian conference, just finished worshiping, they
[54:52] Speaker 3: come to the table, pick up the book like they're
[54:54] Speaker 3: reading it, and then wander off and they gone with
[54:56] Speaker 3: the book. I mean anointed stealing.
[55:02] Speaker 2: Very common.
[55:06] Speaker 3: We ain't gonna watch you are just coming a lot
[55:08] Speaker 3: of my books over there. We ain't gonna watch you.
[55:10] Speaker 3: The king watching you. And see how big the crown is.
[55:13] Speaker 3: You know, he's a big brother. Secondly, a kingdom has
[55:24] Speaker 3: a territory. Every kingdom has a territory.
[55:27] Speaker 2: Number three, every kingdom has what said loud, That means subjects.
[55:34] Speaker 2: You know.
[55:34] Speaker 3: One of the greatest things I discovered but kingdom living
[55:37] Speaker 3: is that it takes all the weight of you see,
[55:39] Speaker 3: a religious person gotta do all the work, but a
[55:42] Speaker 3: citizen don't do no work. In a kingdom, the citizen
[55:48] Speaker 3: is called subject. That means they are subjected to the king.
[55:56] Speaker 3: That's why they call the king lord. The word lord
[55:58] Speaker 3: means owner.
[56:00] Speaker 2: The man who you rent your apartment from has a name.
[56:03] Speaker 2: What do you call him? The lione?
[56:04] Speaker 3: What see the many lords in your country? It simply
[56:08] Speaker 3: means owner. But when it mentioned that concerning Jesus, it
[56:11] Speaker 3: uses the big l He's the big owner. Everybody say Lord,
[56:17] Speaker 3: say it again. Lord, Jesus is Lord. If he's Lord,
[56:23] Speaker 3: that means he owns you. See, if you are a Christian,
[56:27] Speaker 3: you are a religious person, that means he's your savior.
[56:32] Speaker 3: Being your savior doesn't mean he's your lord. If he's
[56:38] Speaker 3: your savior, you're still doing a lot of work.
[56:41] Speaker 2: But if he ever becomes your lord, he owns you.
[56:43] Speaker 2: And when someone owns you, they.
[56:45] Speaker 3: Are responsible for everything concerning you.
[56:48] Speaker 2: That means your bills are their bills. Lord help me.
[56:56] Speaker 2: That's why disciples, you know, they got into problems. They
[56:58] Speaker 2: start worrying about food, clothing, and what they're gonna eat
[57:01] Speaker 2: for lunch.
[57:02] Speaker 3: One day and he got ticked off of them. They
[57:05] Speaker 3: started talking, Look, who will we eat, what will we drink?
[57:08] Speaker 3: Who will be wearing? How will we live? He says,
[57:10] Speaker 3: First of all, why do you worry what you will eat,
[57:14] Speaker 3: what you will drink, what you will wear, and how
[57:16] Speaker 3: you will live?
[57:18] Speaker 2: He says, pagans do that? Let me tell you something
[57:22] Speaker 2: of what that means.
[57:22] Speaker 3: That means every time you start praying, Lord, I need
[57:26] Speaker 3: some food, Lord, I need some money. Lord, I need
[57:29] Speaker 3: some clothes. God says, look at that pagan. What we
[57:37] Speaker 3: call a prayer list is a pagan list.
[57:46] Speaker 2: You are never supposed to pray for food. He said
[57:55] Speaker 2: to them, look at the birds.
[58:02] Speaker 5: They don't worry, they don't toil, they don't work, they
[58:08] Speaker 5: don't spin, they don't harass themselves like you Christians, and
[58:16] Speaker 5: their heavenly Father.
[58:19] Speaker 2: Provides for them. Now I tell you the trick about
[58:23] Speaker 2: that statement.
[58:23] Speaker 3: You see to get to follow Jesus carefully, He says,
[58:25] Speaker 3: what look at the birds?
[58:27] Speaker 2: Why?
[58:28] Speaker 3: He says, he provides the nests for them.
[58:32] Speaker 2: Don't miss a statement. He said, look at what the
[58:34] Speaker 2: birds he provides? What a nest for them? The key is,
[58:40] Speaker 2: you gotta be a bird. If you want a nest,
[58:45] Speaker 2: you missed it. If you be what he credit you
[58:51] Speaker 2: to be, then you'll get. So.
[58:59] Speaker 3: The key is, if you are a religious Christian, that
[59:03] Speaker 3: ain't what he told you to be. But if you
[59:10] Speaker 3: are a citizen Hallelujah of a kingdom Glory to God,
[59:16] Speaker 3: then the king is basonally responsible for taking care of
[59:21] Speaker 3: all your needs. And so his answer was, seek ye
[59:24] Speaker 3: first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all
[59:31] Speaker 3: of these things that the pagans are looking for will
[59:35] Speaker 3: come running after you?
[59:39] Speaker 2: To me, that's easy living, I say, that's easy living.
[59:47] Speaker 3: I want to close on this last few comments here.
[59:53] Speaker 3: Every kingdom has a constitution, that's the Bible you got
[59:56] Speaker 3: in your lack. Every kingdom has laws, that's the principles
[59:59] Speaker 3: that the Bible teaches us to live by. Every kingdom
[1:00:02] Speaker 3: has a government. That's the ruling authority system that the
[1:00:05] Speaker 3: king functions through. That's the government. Every kingdom has privileges.
[1:00:10] Speaker 3: That means you get rights and benefits in every kingdom.
[1:00:13] Speaker 3: And then every kingdom has colds of ethics. And that's important.
[1:00:16] Speaker 2: That tells you how he's supposed to live in the kingdom.
[1:00:19] Speaker 2: But every kingdom also has great influence. So why did
[1:00:21] Speaker 2: Jesus come? Then? Is isa and nine This is what
[1:00:23] Speaker 2: I want to close on. Powerful stuff. It says when
[1:00:26] Speaker 2: he came, Isaah prophesied this about him. He said, for unto.
[1:00:31] Speaker 3: Us, a son is born, and a child is born,
[1:00:34] Speaker 3: rather and a son is given. And then the first
[1:00:37] Speaker 3: statement about him is what what's he carrying a government
[1:00:41] Speaker 3: upon his shoulders? What did he come to bring a government?
[1:00:47] Speaker 3: He didn't going to bring a religion. He came to
[1:00:50] Speaker 3: bring rulership. He didn't come to bring traditions and all
[1:00:53] Speaker 3: the rituals. He came to bring a government. It's about rulership,
[1:00:57] Speaker 3: it's about kingdom, and the Bible says, and his name
[1:01:00] Speaker 3: shall be called wonderful counsel, a mighty God. Have a
[1:01:03] Speaker 3: last thing, Father, Prince of Peace. Everybody say shoulders, say
[1:01:07] Speaker 3: it again, shoulders.
[1:01:09] Speaker 2: Can I see this thing? Please? Don't forget this illustration.
[1:01:13] Speaker 2: I want this on television. I have in my hand
[1:01:17] Speaker 2: what they call a human yoke. In the Western world
[1:01:23] Speaker 2: we know very little about yolks.
[1:01:27] Speaker 3: Matter of fact, most of us, especially preachers, we think
[1:01:33] Speaker 3: of yoke. It's synonymous with oxen. But the yolks were
[1:01:39] Speaker 3: not worn by animals alone. They were worn by people.
[1:01:43] Speaker 3: This is a human yoke.
[1:01:46] Speaker 2: It fits.
[1:01:49] Speaker 3: In the Eastern countries where Christ was born.
[1:01:54] Speaker 2: And I'm glad we got Africans here tonight. This this makes
[1:01:56] Speaker 2: sense to them. In Africa, car loads on your.
[1:02:01] Speaker 3: Head, but in the East you don't carry him on
[1:02:06] Speaker 3: your head.
[1:02:06] Speaker 2: You carry him on your shoulders. In Africa they balance
[1:02:12] Speaker 2: the weights on their heads, but in the East they
[1:02:16] Speaker 2: put them on their shoulders. Secondly, the culture is whenever
[1:02:21] Speaker 2: you're carrying something on.
[1:02:22] Speaker 3: Your shoulders, it's always for someone else. So when a servant,
[1:02:35] Speaker 3: it's a servant goes to the.
[1:02:37] Speaker 2: Wall the well to get water for his master.
[1:02:40] Speaker 3: He puts the yoke on with buckets on two sides,
[1:02:43] Speaker 3: and he goes to get the water, and he brings
[1:02:46] Speaker 3: it to his master.
[1:02:47] Speaker 2: The water is not for him. Whenever a man carries
[1:02:51] Speaker 2: the yoke the weight, he's carrying it for someone else.
[1:02:59] Speaker 2: Come on your so read the verse. It says, for
[1:03:03] Speaker 2: unto us.
[1:03:04] Speaker 3: A child is born, me like that, and for unto
[1:03:06] Speaker 3: us a son is given. And then it says he
[1:03:09] Speaker 3: got something on his shoulders. He came with a weight.
[1:03:14] Speaker 3: He came carrying something. Oh, this is gonna be good.
[1:03:24] Speaker 2: The government is on his shoulders. He's carrying it for
[1:03:32] Speaker 2: someone else. He came to bring it for someone else.
[1:03:36] Speaker 2: The next verse says, look at it. It says, on
[1:03:39] Speaker 2: the increase of that government, there will be no end.
[1:03:43] Speaker 2: Once it comes. It keeps on.
[1:03:45] Speaker 3: Growing and growing and going and going and go. According
[1:03:54] Speaker 3: to Jesus, don't panic over Muslim growth. According to Jesus,
[1:04:01] Speaker 3: don't panic over Hinduism. According to Jesus, don't panic over Buddhism.
[1:04:07] Speaker 3: According to Jesus, don't panic over Confucism. According to Jesus,
[1:04:11] Speaker 3: don't get all anxious with the growth of Islam. He said,
[1:04:14] Speaker 3: don't worry about that, because according to what I brought,
[1:04:17] Speaker 3: it keeps growing and growing. And look at the statement.
[1:04:21] Speaker 3: Unto its growth there will be.
[1:04:25] Speaker 2: It never stops growing.
[1:04:27] Speaker 3: So when you meet somebody of a different religious persuasion,
[1:04:31] Speaker 3: just smile and say you join me later. Come on,
[1:04:35] Speaker 3: clap your hands, man, don't get up tight. Just tell
[1:04:39] Speaker 3: them you're on your way to the kingdom, because this
[1:04:43] Speaker 3: thing will.
[1:04:43] Speaker 2: Go up everybody.
[1:04:45] Speaker 3: And the Bible says that when the rock the stone comes,
[1:04:48] Speaker 3: the last thing that never you can ever saw was
[1:04:52] Speaker 3: that big boulder.
[1:04:53] Speaker 2: Coming out of heaven.
[1:04:54] Speaker 3: And all the kingdoms in that statue were there, and
[1:04:57] Speaker 3: there was the last kingdoms that we up today, all
[1:05:00] Speaker 3: mixed up. But a boulder came in the Roman Empire.
[1:05:03] Speaker 3: Boom hit it, and the Bible says the boulder began
[1:05:06] Speaker 3: to grow and grow and grow and grow until it
[1:05:10] Speaker 3: filled and became a mountain, and it filled the whole earth.
[1:05:13] Speaker 3: Tell your neighbor, that's my daddy's kingdom.
[1:05:16] Speaker 2: Clap your hands, somebody.
[1:05:25] Speaker 3: He brought a kingdom on his shoulders, arrest my case,
[1:05:32] Speaker 3: listen to the words.
[1:05:38] Speaker 2: And so he saw us with all of our robes.
[1:05:44] Speaker 3: And our big crosses around our necks. He saw us
[1:05:49] Speaker 3: clapping our hands and sweating. He saw us doing.
[1:05:52] Speaker 2: Other charismatic leaps.
[1:05:56] Speaker 3: He saw us lighting candles, go into mass every day.
[1:06:01] Speaker 2: He saw us holy rollers and roller holies.
[1:06:05] Speaker 3: He's watching us go to the rituals, man, and we're
[1:06:08] Speaker 3: trying to live right and they're tough.
[1:06:10] Speaker 2: Man.
[1:06:11] Speaker 3: We're trying to make it work. It got our religions
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: all worked out. Man, we're trying to keep the seven
[1:06:16] Speaker 3: day real Holy. It's amazing, I mean, messing up in
[1:06:21] Speaker 3: every other law. And he says, you break one, you
[1:06:24] Speaker 3: break them all. So anyhow, so we trying. Hey, we
[1:06:28] Speaker 3: were trying, man, were trying to make it work.
[1:06:30] Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, we trying. Hey, man, we gotta keep our religion. Man.
[1:06:33] Speaker 2: We gotta go to Baptist.
[1:06:34] Speaker 3: We gotta be Pentecost, we gotta be seven day, we
[1:06:36] Speaker 3: gotta be chismatic here.
[1:06:37] Speaker 2: Hey, we gotta keep it. You gotta work, getta work.
[1:06:39] Speaker 2: And he's watching all this weight.
[1:06:40] Speaker 3: Man, this wait, so he comes to you tonight, put
[1:06:45] Speaker 3: this thing on his shoulders, and it.
[1:06:48] Speaker 2: Ain't no religion, and he says to.
[1:06:52] Speaker 3: You, come unto me, all you who are so religious.
[1:07:11] Speaker 2: Them fire o sees prayed seven times a day. Man.
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: They couldn't eat it, or washing their hands seven times man.
[1:07:17] Speaker 3: And the way they washed their hands is amazing. You
[1:07:20] Speaker 3: aks them about the history. When they wash their hand,
[1:07:22] Speaker 3: they couldn't dry it. They let the water run down
[1:07:23] Speaker 3: to the elbows and just keep it on the air
[1:07:25] Speaker 3: till it drive by itself, cause they don't wanna contaminate
[1:07:27] Speaker 3: it by touching anything else.
[1:07:28] Speaker 2: These guys were so weighted down.
[1:07:33] Speaker 3: Matter of fact, Christ said to them, which you are
[1:07:35] Speaker 3: carrying is so heavy you can't even take it.
[1:07:37] Speaker 2: And you try to make the people carry it.
[1:07:40] Speaker 3: He says, come, come unto me, all your religious people,
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: and I'll do what I'll give you. Rest from your labor, man,
[1:07:49] Speaker 3: stand up from a bishop.
[1:07:51] Speaker 2: He said, here, yeah, stop being oppressed. Take authority. Take
[1:08:00] Speaker 2: my yoke upon you.
[1:08:03] Speaker 3: For my yolk is what I can't hear you say
[1:08:07] Speaker 3: it loud, everybody say easy, Write that down. Let me
[1:08:11] Speaker 3: tell you what easy means when you refer to a yoke.
[1:08:14] Speaker 3: If the yolk that you put on an oxen is
[1:08:17] Speaker 3: too small, it rubs the oxen's neck until it bleeds
[1:08:21] Speaker 3: to death. If the yolk is too large for the oxen,
[1:08:26] Speaker 3: as the oxen pulls the plow, it also rubs the
[1:08:30] Speaker 3: oxen's neck to raw flesh, and he bleeds to death.
[1:08:34] Speaker 3: In other words, when you wear a yolk that you
[1:08:37] Speaker 3: were not built for, I gotta go. When you wear
[1:08:50] Speaker 3: something that you weren't built to fit kan, when you
[1:08:58] Speaker 3: put on something that ain't.
[1:09:00] Speaker 2: It kills you. But look what he put on us.
[1:09:05] Speaker 2: He put on us.
[1:09:06] Speaker 3: The government of the Kingdom, which means you were made
[1:09:11] Speaker 3: for it.
[1:09:11] Speaker 2: On it. God bless you. Thank you very much. I
