recuperate please I'm asking us if you're in this house today and you are not saved and you have not repented of your sins think seriously nobody here is going to force you to do what you don't want to do can I be very honest with you if we force you into the church it is highly likely we can force you out but when the Lord calls you and when you answer that call for yourself with a mayor of mind there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God we encourage you to hear the word today hear the word hear the word respond to the word respond to the word seek the Lord while he may be found call upon him while he's near please make welcome the speaker mr.

Mitchell - or elder in charge the dr. Ferguson when I say dr. Ferguson remembers name praise God hallelujah praise God of course to all our ministers and we his grace be unto you to our visitors praise God when we are saved or unsaved we welcome you to the house of faith praise God as our pastor said we're not going to force you to get baptized but we're gonna speak the word unto you and the Word of God says faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so when you hear the word you will respond in faith and be saved in Jesus name so we greet you all and we trust that everyone here is in good health if you're not there's a bomb in better there is a physician in here praise God I'm not talking about dr. Ferguson yes he's a physician but I'm talking about a physician of our physicians the great physician praise God hallelujah praise God so you want to go into the Word of God to be to hear the mind of God praise God to hear what does seek the Lord to his people and today we want to look at st. Matthew 5 and we want also read from Romans 14 so we're going to read from Saint Matthew 5 and we're going to read quickly because the scripture was read early this morning but for the purpose of reiteration we want to read again so that we can digest the Word of God amen so Matthew 5 praise God and seeing the multitudes he went up into a mountain and when he was set his disciples came unto Him and he opened his mouth and taught them saying blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you that's where we stop in st. Matthew we want to know jump across to Romans 14 praise God hallelujah Romans 14 and verse 17 Romans 14 and verse 17 for the kingdom of God is not fall unless we lose together for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost praise the name of our God today we want to explore the theme let the kingdom be established in your hearts let the kingdom be established in your hearts throughout the month of consecration and prayer the Lord has been directing us towards understanding the kingdom of God praise God and we know what the kingdom of God is we should know what the kingdom of God is but in case you don't know we're here for you to understand what God is doing in this season praise God so the Word of God tells us that John the Baptist came preaching the message of the kingdom and while he may not have fully understood what the kingdom of God meant whoever came with the message introducing and preparing the hearts of men to receive the kingdom of God praise God now John the Baptist was quite an eccentric individual praise God his parents bore him when they were very old and stricken in age they were long past childbearing age when John the Baptist was born praise God what God is a miracle working God praise God and perhaps why John the Baptist was living in the wilderness eating locusts and wild honey and wearing camels crew raiment was because he probably was all funded at a very young age nobody to take care of him because his parents would have passed on long before he became another adult so he was in the wilderness him and God alone praise God and at some point in his adult life he came out of the wilderness with a word from the Lord repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand know everybody probably knew up John the Baptist and everybody knew that John the Baptist was perhaps a madman who else wears camels clothes and eat locusts and wild honey but God doesn't care about your circumstance and we're you are if God has something for you to do if you avail yourself to him God will work wonders in your life praise the name of Jesus so here is John the Baptist far from any Kingdom whatsoever he's living in the wilderness among locusts and wild honey and he calls the clearing that the king is coming who in God's name would is going to believe something like that if a madman comes in here and said thus saith the Lord we probably more to a church I know past I wouldn't do that what some of us might want to do with that praise God but God gave him a word tell the people that I am coming and that the art to prepare the way for me now in our life life we understand that if a king is coming if any royalty a dignitary is coming through everybody has got to prepare the way the last time the president of United scam here United States came here you see how much water I did you see what they did things that didn't get fixed in five years suddenly got fixed things that were littered around the city they were cleaned up instantly and they also ensure that the dump wasn't on fire because there's no way they could common in the force one person or another see smoke they made sure I cleaned up the place because dignitary is gonna pass through and if God is going to pass through today you have got to clean up Jesus so you thought we were in prayer and fasting and consecration and Friday night Lord let us to Kingdom was taking pastor Kingdom confession God is about to do something in this church God is about to do something in his kingdom and God is saying to us we are to prepare the way of the Lord and make his paths straight oh praise the name of Lord so John seemed to have spent quite a bit of his adult life preparing people to receive the kingdom of God to the extent that he formed disciples people believe his word and began to follow him because they were interested in what this man to talk about praise God he encouraged the people to get themselves ready for the kingdom of God but several years passed and John was ministering to the people here now comes somebody else here now comes Jesus the Messiah and when Jesus comes on the scene he not only continues the message that John preached but he also added to the Word of God so Jesus says repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand but Jesus did not stop there he went to me the Father for us to understand what the kingdom of God is and what it means to us praise the name of Jesus and so it is in massive 14 and verse 17 that Jesus began a different line from John I continued the message of John praise God repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand at hand because it is near an abode to happen Jesus came with the same message of John repent because the kingdom is near but when we get into the word we realize that Jesus no not only says that the kingdom is near but he no talks about having access to the kingdom of God praise the name of Jesus so we not only say the kingdom is near it's right here but he says you now to tap into the kingdom of the Living God hallelujah oh Jesus so it is in Matthew 5 and verse 3 that Jesus talks now about possessing the kingdom of God so no longer is near praise God Jesus wants us to understand the kingdom is right here praise God blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven Jesus now is continuing along the same trajectory as John but Jesus is you know have access to the kingdom hmm we're going somewhere to be in verse 10 he says blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven no longer is the kingdom of heaven near it is now open for us to access it in the name of Jesus Christ hmm hallelujah what is the kingdom of God land and where are its original where is its original because John had an idea of what his kingdom is but when Jesus came he said I open now the kingdom to you and you can now step in after the revelation of the kingdom of God is open hallelujah Jesus came not to do anything new because the kingdom of God was already established before the foundations of the world will lead but for us to understand where God is going and where God wants to take us we have got to understand the history of the kingdom because the kingdom has a history it is in 1st Samuel 8 and verse 47 praise God we are going to read and understand what God is about to do in this season then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samwell on trauma and said unto him behold thou art old and thy sons were not in thy ways now make us a king to judge us like all the nations exposed here she'sa sanctify evolution Friday night our pastor stood here in Lord's Supper and he said to us we should judge ourselves God no he's saying we can't have anybody else to judge us Jesus God says we are to examine our own selves judge our own selves but what Israel did was that they wanted somebody else to judge them they wanted a king to judge them team him up their scripture please Alleluia and said unto Him behold they were old and the Sun is worth nothing there is no make us a king to judge us like all the next niche nations verse 6 please but the thing is please Samwell when they said give us a king to judge us and some will prayed unto the Lord and the Lord said unto somewhere hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee for they have not rejected thee but they have rejected me but I should not reign over them so this is where no God is trying to get us to understand the kingdom of God God wanted to read over the people but they rejected the kingdom of God God says my kingdom is my rule it is my government it is my set up Authority in your hearts oh Jesus if God is not in your heart who else's if God does not have the Dominion seat in your heart whoa else is sitting on the throne of your heart anybody who sits on your through cause the shots Jesus so Israel now looked at the nations around them and said we want to be like them I don't want to be like them let me be like Jesus they looked around and saw but all the other nations had Kings word because I was really amazed when I was preparing this text because Israel before they asked for a king the only battles they fought was when they were trying to possess the land of Canaan the king the minute somebody else took charge of the race Israel a trouble and they had trouble even to dare to see that trouble because somebody else is raining where God should have read Jesus Israel was at peace when they asked for a king said we don't want God to reign over us all hell broke loose in Israel [Music] hallelujah Jesus who is sitting on the throne of your heart oh Jesus if God is not ruling if God does not have dominion if God does not have power somebody else are something else is in control of you and that's why some of you come in here and hear the Word of God and you leave unchanged you know in your heart that you need to be saved Jesus but each time you hear the word of God the thing that is elevated above God socks off the Word of God and you can't change Jesus Israel got a king to reign over them and they thought they were gonna live happily ever after Jesus problems upon problems upon problems God told them listen if you like this King reign over you this is what the king is gonna do to you first some will eat verse 10 and some will told all the words of the Lord unto the people that ax of him our King continue please and he said there this will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you he will take your sons and appoint them for himself for his chariots and to be his horsemen and some shall run before his chariots and he will appoint him captain's over thousands and captain's over fifties and will set them to hear his ground and to reap his harvest and to make his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots and he will take your daughters to be confectionaries and to be cooks and to be bakers and he will take your fields and your vineyards and your olive yards even the best of them and give them to his servants and he will take the tenth of your seed that would belong to God known at the tenth he's gonna take that and off your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants and he will take your men servants and your maidservants and your good young men and your asses and put them to his work and he will take the tenth of your sheep and he shall be his service Jesus that's what the King did to Israel oh yes read and continue please and he and he shall cry out in that day because of your King which he shall have chosen you and the Lord will not hear you in that day so the very same King that they bed and Balfour remember they looked up the ordinations became coffee shots we have got to be aware of that co-official spirit became vicious and wanted to be like all the other nations around them rejected the power of God rejected the Dominion of God rejected the seed and authority of God Jesus makes me wonder how many times have we rejected the Dominion and the rain and the rule of God we want a king know we want the gifts we want to see the bride eyes open we want to see the ears of death open what we don't want God to God why because a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand God is not the author of confusion you've got to know yourself prepare the way of your heart I know God to have easy access in Jesus many of us are no enslaved by another kingdom by another Dominion someone else is ruling in your heart and you know this God does not have dominion over you oh Jesus so Jesus says in Matthew five thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven Jesus whenever we're talking about the kingdom and it's not because it sounded good but it is what is necessary for us to understand the mind of God so disciples said Lord teach us how to pray and who would have thought that Jesus would have forgotten about the kingdom but no he says in verse 10 thy kingdom come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven you know my god said that in heaven God has fully Dominion if God wants something done in heaven there's nobody in there who can stop him absolutely nobody no principality no power no ruler of darkness can stop the will of God in heaven oh Jesus so Jesus says to us know when you pray pray like this that I will be done on earth as it is done in heaven why because if God has don't meet you dear nothing can stop the Church of Jesus Christ if God gets fully dominion of your heart oh jesus the new weapon that is formed against you shall prosper high place I think must bow to the knowledge of God because God has dominion God sits as king in your heart oh Jesus Oh God yes nor reign Jesus reign hallelujah king of Zion who does not reign Jesus reign so many of us coming here I come in here and I want to see the manifestation of the sons of God I love to see the blind eyes open I love to see the lame walk but I come here and God is not the center of all worship God does not sit the seat of Dominion in our hearts yet we want the kingdom but God says let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven no obstacles hallelujah in heaven if God sends an angel out it has to do exactly as what God asked him to do he doesn't ask he does not say anything we just go and fulfill the Word of God many times the Word of God is preached in the earth and the word cannot go forth because there is something else that is resting and fighting against the Word of God hmm a lot of Jesus the Word of God will accomplish that which it was sent to do even if God has got to kick out that thing that is sitting on the seat of Dominion in your hearts God must take preeminence the kingdom must take Dominion oh God so the Lord now says to Peter listen Peter I am now going to give to you the keys of the kingdom so that whatsoever you shall be bound in heaven whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in
