Becoming An Agent of Change Pt. 1 | Dr. Myles Munroe

thank you for joining us for another power-packed message from dr. Myles Munroe provided by Monroe global incorporated and Monroe global comm we transform followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change we hope that this message is a blessing to you as you advance your life and discover your purpose now let's go into the message the day is focus has to do please write this down becoming agents of change write it down becoming agents of change say with me becoming agents of change the vision of this ministry for 34 years has been the same vision I will repeat the vision it's only one sentence this ministry exists to transform followers into leaders we've been working on that for 30 years but now the instruction from our King is we must now focus on the second part of the vision and that is and to transform leaders into agents of change that means we don't just want to wear title we want to make a difference we don't just want a position we want to make an impact we don't just want to be respected we want to demand transformation that is the assignment at this juncture of our ministry I want to begin therefore by talking to you about something very serious write this down everyone exists in time I beg you to listen to this important segment here what does it mean when we say everyone exists in time well first of all all humans exist in time and change all of us in every country every culture the two things we can be sure of we are living in time and will experience constant change point number two all humans will be affected by the time and change they live in remember you exist in them if you was a fish time would be the ocean and change would be the current so picture yourself as a fish you live in this ocean called time and the change is coming at you are the currents trying to push you in its direction we cannot avoid those two things point number three thank you lord now listen to this statement please write it down whoever controls and manages time and manages changes will control our experience in time and change I want you to think please about what I'm saying I repeat whoever controls and manages time and change will control our experience in time and change at least the point number three a very serious point whoever plans your time and the changes in your life will design your future I repeat whoever plans your time the time you live in and designs the changes that you will face they are creating your future they are controlling you that means then that we are all victims of the ones who plan our time and our change I repeat you are a victim of the people you've given the authority to to plan your time on earth and what type of changes you will go through you are a victim that means then this is the serious result others can plan your life for you this is serious if you give another person the right to plan how you use your time and the right to decide what kind of changes they want for you you've stopped existing you are now a victim of other people's design this is serious therefore the next point is a question who will design your future now remember whoever controls and designs your time and your changes design your future so the question is who you're going to allow to design your life let's talk about and this statement is one you must never forget avoiding engagement with the powers that design and plan our time and change is to surrender to another man's values morals and standards I'm going to pick this because it's very serious it's happening all over the world matter of fact this is happening not only to individuals not only in two countries it's happening to entire continents I'm going to read it again I want you to write it down avoiding engagement with the pause that design and plan our time and change is to surrender to another man's values and moral standards it's like United Nations telling the Bahamas what they should do if they want the United Nations money our government leaders are making trips you don't haven't about two meetings you have no idea exists making decisions on your behalf that diametrically opposed your values because you will not engage them they think that a vote will surrender of your brains they'd face the revolt is the cancellation of your intellect and maybe I might blame you also because you and I are so passive spiritually religiously stupid because somehow we get this weird idea that we can put an unrighteous man in power and demand righteousness from him this is crazy would we do it and the problem is we see them once and we believe that they will keep our values and morals intact for five years how does it happen for his worry avoiding them avoiding to engage the system let's take it a step further this is the tough one the useless Church what did I say the useless Church I have come to the conclusion in my humble estimation I have traveled to over 100 countries my largest audience was 2.5 million people in one place I have met with hundreds of government leaders and heads of state I have engaged bishops and potentates I have sat in the halls of power I have commune with supreme court justices I have spoken and advised congressmen and women I have been around believe me I've come to a conclusion the church is useless what do I mean right is now the number one weakness and defect of the church is its lack of planning when explain this the church does not plan correctly emphasis on correctly why the folly of the church is its preoccupation with planning for heaven and not earth that's their folly and the problem is the church lives on earth the mistake the church has made is what I call they have a escapism theology it's a theology that conditions its adherents to leave earth rather than change earth it is the I'll fly away mentality it is to stay away from them mentality it is to avoid getting involved with their mentality and so we are basically developed a useless Church on earth that leads to my third point the church has planned itself out of the world we planned it now the sad part about that truth is this the church has abdicated its responsibility and abandon the world and the earth both words are important they abandon the world and the earth the focus of the so-called church is isolation and transportation the transportation is rapture they have become so conditioned to live in a world that they don't live in yet that they can't affect the world they live in and so we have this useless structure in every nation now these two point number five the church has created and designed its own irrelevance II the church has created and designed its own irrelevance II the church itself made itself irrelevant because it presents a message of escapism now the world is very interesting the world capitalize on this and the world tells the church don't get involved in our business because you said our business is not your business and they're seeing it loud aren't they stay out of our business listen the problem is their business is affecting your business because you live on earth where was the church in America when that little woman stood before the Supreme Court and said take prayer out of school where was the church in America they were having services they were planning their departure Roe vs. Wade where was the church rent and that woman stood before a Supreme Court and says look I have a right to kill my baby and you have to okay that since that day average of 500 million babies are killed every year in America I said 500 million checking on the Internet that means they kill more children than our entire country populations every year because somebody create a law that the church allowed point number six every other entity in society as a plan except the church and their plan is to affect influence and control the changes in our society every other group has a plan the rainbow coalition I'm not reactionary they get listen I spoke to one of their leaders in Washington he said dr. Monroe we remember the church the church don't know what's going on we have a plan for 50 years already on paper how are we going to take over the culture well the church doc of a 50-year plan how they gonna get out of here rapture they have a plan I was in horror and I'm speaking publicly because I have in my possession in my by the CD that I received because I wanted to make sure I heard what I heard this week as one of our ministers of Foreign Affairs to the pin Parliament this last few days and proudly stated that he's being in this government process for 30 years of his life and he gave us all life to politics and he lifted up very nice how he served to the point where he even didn't get married he want to dedicate himself totally I'm talking to you keep the TV on ah I know what I heard I heard this myself and I got the CD to prove it he said I worked 30 years of my life he said for this moment what moment and then he said it he said you know when I first entered these hallowed halls of your Parliament my personal life and my private life could not be spoken of publicly and my decisions that I made about my personal orientations I couldn't even mention it when I first entered these halls but we'd come along with he says it's because now my bishop has finally seen the light and I can now say in these hallowed halls without shame that I support the gay and lesbian and transsexual organization that was said in your country five days ago in Parliament the house you built he abused a house to promote his personal decision he wasn't doing the people's business we call it again every other entity in society has a plan and the plan is to what effect influence and control the changes in society let me finish tell you what he said he said I've been in you all these years and now I could could plan to leave because what I came in to do I got the city has now arrived this is and the Bishop of the Anglican Church in the Bahamas has sanctioned it now in case you think I'm a crazy man last week I told y'all I was going to call the bishop I called the bishop on Monday this week we spoke for an hour and a half on the phone they should keep the TV on and I said Bishop X made to me what you meant by your recommendation of sexual orientation did find it for me and for an hour and a half my friend the bishop and he's my friend he couldn't explain would admit there'll be no sitting down on my watch [Applause] and listen to me I want you to listen to me please this is an important session right number seven if we don't plan our lives someone else will that's the bottom line if we don't plan our lives we're going to live somebody else's values somebody else's moral standards we cannot surrender to the currents in the ocean have you ever heard this term current affairs it's a current and it comes to drag you in its direction you need to be no longer sand I said to the bishop publicly I told him on him talk publicly about him I said Bishop you know he said to me he said you know better miles we need to be a little bit more accommodating to people of different views I'm talking about the bishop your bishop I said sir you and I are supposed to being sent from the same government we are not permitted to surrender his standards to this I told him that and I said to the bishop my friends we are supposed to be like a rock in the ocean no matter how hard the tides come no matter how strong the current is the rock stands the current flows over it and when everything is finished the rock is still standing I said that's our responsibility to put the rock in society the Word of God the standards of God the kingdom of God is why God never calls himself even an anchor because anchors need rock kind of society with your children live in see that's the question when your son comes and ask you I met a mother who's a man today explain that to me daddy what do you tell him that you sat down and did nothing the best way to protect and predict the future is to design it yourself don't let nobody has designed a future for us we live here I want to taste something about an idea you don't think about much it's called the power of an agenda everybody has an agenda except the church ain't nothing has it remember I said now the guy says I entered Parliament 30 years ago for this reason and my problem is he's the Minister of Foreign Affairs I'm talking publicly sir right me call me I'll come see you that means he's promoting something different than what I've been promoting I tell people God is in the Bahamas millions of people have said it too do you sit down and just watch it I was so surprised that no MP got up and said excuse me sir this house is not for that we are here to discuss the proposal to build a new Parliament not to talk about your private issues no one caught up it makes me nervous but everybody knows now I didn't say no I just said make me nervous that's all now I know our speaker Street he sitting right over there I know he's straight [Applause] you've got happy to speak it out come on you brought a pretty nice man hallelujah what you see let's break this down planning is setting the agenda of the future and when you talk to these groups they all have an agenda point number two every group in society has an agenda to change the world in their favor I'm gonna say it again every group in society has an agenda to change the world in their favor do you have one is the question now when the so called church join their agenda your hope is gone because the only bastion of hope that can bring some moral sanity to our current affairs it's supposed to be that rock of the church when the church surrenders it becomes sand and when current connects with sand it takes the sand with it kind of world do you want my friends she has the problem the agenda of the church is to try to take people so ever that as my midnight felon to take people where out of the world and the earth not to take over that's the agenda the church's agenda is to take people out of the world and even out of the earth the world has accepted the church's agenda and the world has produced its own the world is so happy that you gave them your agenda they can now do it they feel like without interference in other words you go to heaven while we go wherever people go this will be done we've surrendered ladies and gentlemen the church has become an object of scorn and abuse and powerful criticism I have stopped listening to talk shows now because of the puking spewing alignment and attack of those who are part of the church every day it's as if you are a criminal if you're a pastor you can't even wear your own suit kind of spirit of this the church is not you know the world is saying look you guys told us you're lis relevant so we can't always talk to you anyway any kind of how that's what we've done but not this church I said not this ministry I said not this ministry God can help at least some people somewhere who will say we will not bow to your idols you all get quiet on me that's okay thank you Lord me and you alright the church is used by they used the church is used as a social pawn to give credibility to secular societies agenda that's all they use it for if they open in subnets that you come and pray and then shut up go away come bless this building and leave we don't talk to you no more they use the church when they want to vote for for their interests or politic they want they quickly come to church and they don't visit in churches how come to in visiting now and they come sit down they will say something this is using the church just kind of stop any gonna stop now we are not warned in a game it ends no at least in this ministry I want at least 25 members of this church to run in the next election yes I said that publicly I want Parliament filled with people who are full of the Word of God who love the kingdom of God whose standards are intact and they sleep with the opposite sex and they understand values and morals that are fundamentally biblical which is according to our preamble we will sacrifice nothing for God well [Applause] we're not a porn we got answers to problems we could solve the crime problem but stop abusing us up close enough [Applause] most are the people who talk about the church don't even go to church how dare you talk about something you don't even attend you're not qualified I want to make a note write this down the agenda of the world is to make God irrelevant I want to explain to you why the secular system doesn't like Jesus they like many other religious leaders you know but this one is the problem for them because every other religious leader in history never required that you follow them every one of them Buddha Muhammad Confucius bahá'u'lláh Maharaj all of them simply said go that way that's the way the truth all of these principles go that way Christ never says go that way he says come to me and then follow me people don't want to do that his demands are so personal that he requires that you change so they can handle that they call it being dogmatic that's why they don't like Jesus this is why they'd like to remove the preamble from our Constitution just get out of there because that's a problem for us we can't quite do they feel like you're not a bad conscience for this thing that says that we must be governed by the basic biblical principles and spiritual values and you know if I can just get that out of there then I could get free from all this demand to keep those values he's a problem so we can get God out of everything then we can do it with feeling so the goal is to make God irrelevant so they say the church must stay in its corner mind its own business and don't bother with our business and what they don't notice that their business is creating the culture for our business there will be no staying out of the business it's all of our business I thought your is a tough series for me if I go to jail it's ok they killed me fine doesn't matter anymore we cannot said but we saw happen in America we saw what happened in Canada we saw what happened in the England we saw what happened in Switzerland we watch what happen in Holland I need to sit there I know how you feel I was in America you wonder what happened to us they have an agenda can I suggest to you that if we're going to bring change is the process and remember this the key to Kingdom success in this process is to initiate change we're gonna wait for them to do something no more we are going to advise them of what we want done I didn't hear your your-your-your they have to be here if you don't let them come and tell you what they did you know when they pass the law about burglary where a man kind of sex with a little boy in the Bahamas and it's legal none of us knew that happened I am telling you now that this will be coming I feel an urge for all of us to show up in Parliament on Wednesdays and we just go sit there you know they will say nothing I'm gonna make that very frequent because that's our house what happens in our house we should know what they talked about in our house I know being in that house except to present a book to the Prime Minister a couple years ago so now we're gonna be in the house very often I was praying a lot if I was in the house when the minister foreign affairs got him last week he wouldn't say a word if I was in the house furgus excuse me excuse me me I hold it keep the TV on please I'm ready for the police to arrest me but ain't nobody going to change our values without our permission y'all better clap I feel bad enough [Applause] you better buy this CD write this down the agenda of Jesus say it Jesus has an agenda - let me give you the Jannah before we go and don't miss the next session it gets deeper what's the agenda of God it's found in a statement God made I don't need to write it I just copied it from him here's the agenda of Jesus it's found in John chapter 3 verse 16 you never read this before it's a new verse let me prove it it says for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believed in that son will not perish but have everlasting life next word for God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be safe have got agenda thought never says to get people of earth to heaven hey boys the world how how many times the word world is used in that passage you see it the word earth is nowhere in the passage the word world is in the passage Jesus Christ did not come to save the earth okay let's see how smart you are the word for earth in the Bible is this Greek word Kiera write it down it means dirt earth physical planet that's the earth this building is on the earth it is made out of earth that's called Earth Earth is the physical planet the word world used in the Bible including the verse you just read is differe word is the word cosmos kos MOS and the word means number one governing systems number two powers of control number three powers of influence number four systems of impact that the word cosmos that's the word used in John 3:16 not the earth for God so loved the systems that govern the earth that he sent his son into the world the system so the system through him might be saved God did not send his Son into the world that system to condemn the system what if already condemned he came to save it it says he came to save the system look at that list that means he came to save the government system the banking system insurance system medical system dental system legal system educational system entertainment system he want to save all the system because the system's determine what happens on the earth the earth is innocent in nothing wrong with the earth no two dogs commit adultery because they don't get married you'd never find two dogs two male dogs getting it on these poor kids have most sense you'll never find a flower being jealous of another flower you never find two birds having deceit and malice no tree never crush the other tree nothing wrong with nature but when man system hit that beautiful day they pollute the rivers they destroy the reefs they spill oil in the Gulf they destroy the forests they cut down the trees they destroy the whole soul mayor why because the system is affecting the earth if you do not check the system you're going to live on a different earth in the Bahamas so it's the system Jesus came to save and that's our agenda we have been duped by misguided religious theological perspectives who did not read obviously the mandate of Jesus Christ his mandate is very clear he said I I created the church he says the church is not the kingdom the church and the kingdom are different the kingdom existed before the church he quote Matthew 25 verse 34 it says I quote Jesus he says come of you who are blessed by my father take your inheritance the kingdom which were prepared for you before the foundation of the world was evenly the kingdom is older than the church because the kingdom is God's government in heaven and he put us on earth to extend that government on earth to make Earth a colony and that means the key to the kingdom was the influence of heaven on earth by the Holy Spirit from God through the agency of mankind that means that the church is heavens diplomatic agency on earth we are not here to avoid the earth we are not here to abandon the systems we are here to influence the system that's why we [Applause] may God emerge for the new church in our lifetime the original idea that he had made come back I remember when I went to visit Martin Luther King's juniors Church in Atlanta where he preached the smaller church I stood in the same play 3 preach I held my hands to the podium and I was imagining this country preacher it's a small little church maybe 300 members 200 men could fit in that place and and tears came to my eyes because of all of a sudden it hit me a little country preacher decided enough is enough what is it going to take for you and I churches God's diplomatic corps on earth we are here to represent a different set of values a different set of moral standards a different set of systems of governing with compassion and love for the poor I'm not abusing the weak some of the policies we've been following is corrupting the weak and destroying the poor people this is is it injustice why did God take a sort of slave in this country not enslave our own people I I think I'm beginning to change some definitions in my mind about some of the words we use I'll give you what I'm dealing with right now I'm still trying to deal with it I think we need to change the word investor to oppress for some time I'm gonna say it again I think in some cases who we call oppressor I mean investor if oppressor in other words we're bringing back the same system we had 45 years ago in nice words investor same guy come back you know invest all and can fire people anytime they feel like without consultation this is crazy but that is when you let another person's agenda become more important in your home I'm not against partnerships what I sure don't want slavery back I believe we can be partners partners means you happy a happy it on to you qu not you got upper hand I got no hand at all y'all have meal here now II have my feet like a by myself again see the de spirit that we have coming back into our region and our leaders are as if they got slave mentality still I saw they see a color skin to get nervous stop it man stop it t nobody better than you all of us as humans and God's image man got better money to make you more valuable than me who do you think you are [Applause] you know please don't make me this radical let me start before I get true now I start this the night none of my body I can't take this congratulation you know some of y'all are hurting them banks control your life and they don't even have the headquarters here and they send instructions from Barbados and Cayman and tell them what to do with you you can't even talk to the officer because they under command from another country and you're losing your house that you work so hard to build for 40 years you may pay in this market and you lose it what kind of government watching over you government has the power to make legislation to download banks now before you come here here are the rules [Applause] the church was given an agenda and that agenda let me POTUS go into all the slowly world not the earth so missionary a real missionary it not the one that goes to Africa is the one that goes into banking and politics and sports and law and business that's the missionary go into all the systems here you
