  Speaker 1: Oh, clap your hands, all you people, shout unto the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Lord with the voice of triumph. Let the redeemed of
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the Lord say so whom he hath redeemed out of
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the hand of the enemy. Greatest the Lord, He is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: greatly to be praised. Our God is worthy of all praise.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Everything that has breadth is to praise the Lord. We
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: welcome you once again to this another edition of End
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Time Revival Ministries USA, our podcast A Man. We
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: thank God again for each and every one of you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: who pray for and or support the work of this ministry,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and certainly, of course, as always we pray that you,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if you have not already, will become a subscriber and also,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: pleased by all means, share it with someone else, Because
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: again it is our endeavor to speak the Word in truth,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in love, and to disseminate the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the truth of the Word of the Living God, far
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and wide. And we pray always that the word of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the Lord will have free course and that it would
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: be effectual in the hearts of those who will hear
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the word and desire to become more and more like
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus in their pilgrimage. While they are here in this
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: present world. It is the a man will of God
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that we live holy, godly right here in this present world.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And speaking of this world, by the way, we're going
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to be again in the Gospel of Chapter eighteen, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: our focus is on the words of Jesus, these words
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in particular, not of this world, not of this world.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We go there in just a few moments. But again
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: before we began, we as always thank God for his
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: living word, his power, a man, his anointing, a man
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: purpose in us, a man He is purposed in the Church,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and given to us this mission to go into all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the world to preach the Gospel to every creature. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that believes in is baptized shall be saved. And this
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Gospel of the Kingdom is to be preached in all
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the world. And the end will come. And we are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: living certainly in the last of the last days, perilous
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: times predicted by the Bible that will come. They are here.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We are living in difficult times. Hearts of men of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: felling them for fear, certainly the love of many watchous
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: cold as the Bible said, Jesus said, these things would
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: come to pass, And so we know, we know, we see,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: we can read, we can understand, we can have the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: assurance that God's word not only is visibly being fulfilled
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: before our eyes, but all that is yet to be
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: fulfilled it shall come to pass. So a man, those
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of us who are well acquainted with the scriptures, or
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: even somewhat acquainted with the scriptures, should be a man
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: not caught underwear unawares. As the Bible tells us, we
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: know the times, we know the seasons, we know what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord has spoken, and we again in this ministry,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are crying loud, and we are not sparing a man,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: because the world needs to know. People need to understand
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that a man eternal destiny is what is at stake.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: There is one of two places that we all will
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: spend the eternity, in heaven in glory with Christ Jesus,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: our Lord and Savior, or in the lake of fire
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that burns eternally. And so hell is not a place.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: The lake of fire is not a place where we,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: any of us, should even want or desire, or even
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: God forbid, end up eternally. So we should fear the Lord,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and a man seek to please him, be filled with
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: his spirit, be led by his spirit a man. While
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we have our being in this present world. And again
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we are in the world, but we are not to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: be of this world. And this is what Jesus is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: speaking of about today in this message to this government
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ruler by the name of Pumptious Pilot, who he is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: standing before and being examined, that his kingdom, the Kingdom
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, is not of this world. Alright, So let's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: begin first of all with the word of prayer. Father, again,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: thank you for your word. Thank you for those who
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: will have a listening ear and an obedient heart. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we praise you that you've sent your word down from
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Heaven that it might be in us. Be with us,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Lead us, guide us, direct us, protect us, and bring
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: us safely through the power of your word into your
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: presence with exceeding joy. Help us now to walk worthy
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and to love you more each day we give thanks
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in all things. Amen and Amen. Alright. Our examination of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the words of Jesus, which he spoke while he was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: here on this earth, takes us now into the final
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: moments of his incarnation in the flesh, as he is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: on trial before Pontius Pilot, who supposedly is to ascertain
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the validity of the charges that have been laid against
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus by his accusers. After, of course, hearing some of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: these charges or accusations against Jesus, Pilot now returned to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: ask questions of Jesus. And we picked this up the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: narrative in John's Gospel. So if you have your bibles,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: chapter of eighteen, we're going to read just a few verses,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of four verses here, verses thirty three through
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: thirty six, as again we examine the words of Jesus.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That is our focus. Then Pilot entered the pratorium again,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: called g Jesus and said to him, are you the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: king of the Jews? Jesus answered him, are you speaking
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for yourself about this? Or did others tell you this
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: concerning me? Pilot answered, am I a Jew your own nation,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and the chief priests have delivered you to me? What
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have you done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this world. That's our focus. My kingdom is not of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: servants would fight so that I should not be delivered
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: My kingdom is not of this world. And the narrative
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that we just read, Pilot asked Jesus these three questions,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Are you the king of the Jews? Am I a Jew?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And then he asked Jesus, what have you done? Now? Again, Supposedly,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Pilot is seeking to ascertain the guilt or innocence of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus and whether or not the charges laid against him
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's worthy of death, because, of course the chief priests,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the leaders Jews, have insisted and will further insist that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus be crucified. So take note of the response of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus in verse thirty six when he says to Pontius Pilot,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: my kingdom is not of this world. You see the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: determination that Jesus would be delivered up to the Roman
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: government to be hanged upon the tree. We must never
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: forget this. It was established in eternity past, before the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: foundation of the world, in that kingdom from which Jesus
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: descended down to accomplish the will and purpose of the Godhead,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to redeem unto himself a people for his namesake, to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: his glory, his honor, his majesty, his dominion, his power,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: both now and forever, in his wonderfully glorious, everlasting Kingdom.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: All of this was predestinedly, determined, pre planned, if you will,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in the Godhead, long before there was a win or
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: where before the world came into existence, before God made
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: man and his image and likeness, before man sinned and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: rebelled against God. For us to escape, Jesus coming down
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to this earth taking on human flesh was already purposed
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in the mind of God. Now there are some supposedly
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: well meaning, but I will say certainly misguided Christians, so called,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: who are of the mindset and the persuasion that they
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: are in a fight for the Kingdom of God in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this world to be the world's pre eminent and dominant force.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God is not Let me say this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: very clearly so that we hopefully will get this understanding.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom of God is not by our power and might.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It is not made greater by our efforts and abilities.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: It is not by power or might, but by my spirit, saith,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the Lord, who alone is great, and who alone does
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: wonders these seven things, Please keep them in your mind.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Number one, God's Kingdom, as Jesus said, is not of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this world. Number two, God's Kingdom is already pre eminent.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Number three. God's kingdom is autocratically dominant. No kingdom, no force,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: no nothing, no kingdom, other kingdom, period, the kingdom of darkness.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The kingdoms of this world can stand against the Kingdom
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of God, can even challenge the Kingdom of God. So
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: his kingdom is already dominant, it is already pre eminent.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Number four. God's kingdom is over all earthly kingdoms. Number five.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: It is God who raises up and takes down all
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: kingdoms visible and invisible. By the way. Number six, God needs,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and we need to understand this, no help to defend
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: his kingdom. He doesn't need our help. He doesn't need
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: our sistance, he doesn't need our advice. He doesn't need
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: our counsel to defend, to uphold, to raise up, to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: lift up, if as it were his kingdom. You see,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: God's kingdom Number seven is eternally established again before this
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: world ever came into existence, an eternity where we cannot
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: even fathom, we cannot even wrap our minds around being
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: outside of time itself. God Kingdom is, it is, it was,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and it is always to be. Let me give you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: an example in the Old Testament from Daniel's prophetic word.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Through the will of God, the purpose of God, he
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: gave to a pagan king by the name of Theknzza
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of dream. And in this dream, God revealed to this
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: pagan king that his kingdom, his eternal kingdom, is the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: most powerful, is the supreme. It range, it rules, it establishes,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it sets up, it takes down all of the kingdoms
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of this world. Just two verses Daniel, Chapter two, verses
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: forty four to forty five. Daniel the prophet is interpreting
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the dream that God gave to this pagan king Nebucknezza.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Listen what he says in these last two verses, these
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: two verses, rather than I'm going to read verses forty
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: four and forty five. And in the days of these kings,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom which
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: left to other people. It shall break in peaces and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. In
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: as much as you saw that the stone was cut
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: in pieces, the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and the gold. The Great God has made known to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the king what will come to pass after this. The
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: dream is certain and its interpretation is sure. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: God's kingdom, his eternal kingdom, is supreme, is pre eminent,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: is eternal. And in this vision, this dream, if you will,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that God gave the this pagan king, all of these
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: earthly kingdoms from Babylon, the Gold, the Meads, and the Persians,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Greeks, the Roman Empire. The tentto kingdom that he
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: is now or is to come, will be re established,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: however that will have pan out. Rather, don't have to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: dev into all of that. As of now, these kingdoms
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: will be as was shown to this pagan king, consumed, broken, destroyed,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: carried away as the chaff you see when Jesus came
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: down from heaven to tabernacle among us, when he came
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: down here to preach the gospel of the Kingdom, when
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: he came to open the eyes of the blind, when
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he came to set at liberty those who were in bondage,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: when he came to give himself a ransom for our sins.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus ushered in the kingdom of Heaven, not to be
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: entered into by and through the flesh naturally, but supernaturally.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: All who enter into the Kingdom, they are to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: born again of the water and of the spirit, the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: spirit of the Living God. You remember that conversations that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus had with Nicodemus. Read it Gospel of John japhis three. Amen,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: flesh and blood, flesh and blood, you must be born again.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Flesh and blood cannot enter except a man be born again.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He cannot see the kingdom. And Jesus told us the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: kingdom is here. The kingdom came, if you will, when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus the King came, he was not just the king
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of the Jews. He's the king of kings. He's the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Lord of lords. He's the king over all of the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: kingdoms of this world. You see, Jesus Christ. Is that stone,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that that that dream thatg Neficant has had, The stone
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: that was cut out of the mountain without hands. Jesus Christ.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Is that stone, the stone that was set at naught
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of the builders, the ones, the one who rejected Jesus.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: That stone was revealed to this pagan king Amen again,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: cut out of the mountain without hands, which represented his
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: his his externality. He was not of this world, not
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: from this world. As he said about his kingdom. It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: not of this world. Jesus himself again that mountain cut
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: out of the mountain without hands, heavenly origin, not of
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: this world, not of this earth. Amen, Jesus was, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: is and is to come. He is the almighty God.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He is the ruler again over every kingdom that exists
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: on this earth, past present, and any to come in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the future. Now, I want you to hear these words,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite psalms. I have so many, but
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: some number two speaks of that kingdom as well. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: all men should tremble. All men. Should a man bow
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: now before the King and enter by the power of
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: his spirit, through repentance, through obedience, through receiving the Holy Spirit,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the gift, the free gift of eternal life, that Jesus
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Christ alone gives. All men should come now bow now p.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Number two, Verse number seven. I will declare the decree
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the Lord has said to me. You are my son.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Today I have begotten you. Ask I want you to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: hear this. Hear this here is well. Ask of me,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and I will give you the nations for your inheritance,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and the ends of the earth for your possession. This
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is what the Bible says about the kingdom, the king,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the power, the authority. What will happen to the kingdoms
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of this world? What happens verse of a nine. You
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel. This is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the kingdom of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. It
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is going to crush, annihilate, utterly, destroy the kingdom of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: this world. He's going to break them with a rod
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of iron. He's going to dash them to pieces like
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a potter's vessel. Again giving all men the opportunity to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: come to the knowledge of the truth, to come to repentance.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Listen what the psalmon says verse number ten. Now, therefore,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: be wise, old kings, be instructed, You judges of the earth.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the sun lest he be angry, and you perish in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the way when his wrath is kindled. But a little
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: blessed are those all those who put their trust in him,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. This is why Jesus again these words
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: If my kingdom was of this world, my servants would
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: fight that I would be I would not be delivered
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to you. My kingdom is not from here. His kingdom
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: is eternal, is above supreme, It's all powerful. And he
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: is going to utterly again. I cannot reemphasize this enough.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: He's going to utterly crush, annihilate, and destroy the kingdoms
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of this world. So, ladies and gentlemen, for us, those
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of us we are in the Church of Jesus Christ,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: please please, please understand that the fight that the Church
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: is engaged in is not in the flesh against flesh
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and blood. We are at war against spiritual forces of
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the darkness of this world, forces of evil that are
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: seeking to keep souls of men as servants to sin
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: in kingdoms that have already been broken into peaces, kingdoms
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: that have already been defeated by the Kingdom of Heaven,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of our Lord. And
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: say to Jesus Christ, that shall stand invincible forever upon
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: this rock. Jesus said about the Church, I'm going to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: build it. I'm going to build my church on this rock,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and the gates of Hell y'll not prevail against it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: What did John the Baptists come preaching repent for the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: kingdom of heaven? Is that hand? What did Jesus come
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: preaching repent for the kingdom of Heaven? Is at hand?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Now is today? Now is the time? Now is your salvation.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It is the trick of the enemy to deflect our attention,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the attention of the Church, the attention that we ought
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to be focused on. Deflect our attention away from the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: spiritual forces of the darkness of this world, in order
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for us to engage almost exclusively. And this is problematic
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: in our world. This probably, without a doubt in my
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: mind at least, why we the Church are not as
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: effective as we ought to be in this world. Amen,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Because we are almost exclusively in a fight against flesh
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and blood using carnal weapons of warfare that are unapproved
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: by Heaven. You know what Jesus said, You remember what
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to be to put up your sword. Peter
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: was seeking to fight and to slay in the natural realm. No, no, no, no, no,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: no no no. Listen to the Bible says. Let me
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: give you one more scripture before we close. Second Corinthians,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: chapter ten, verses three through five. For though we walk
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: in the flesh. We do not war according to the flesh.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: For the weapons of our warfare for this kingdom in
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: which we have been called, for this kingdom in which
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: we are engaged in warfare as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: This on the Bible says again, for the weapons of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, for
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Our weapons
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: are not carnal. Our weapons are not from here. Our
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: weapons are not of this world. We fight in this
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: warfare against the spiritual forces of the darkness of this world,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: not against flesh and blood. Using spiritual weapons. Put on
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Ephesian chapter six, the whole armor of God, that you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: may be able to stand wage war, fight the good
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: fight of faith earnestly contend for the faith. We do
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: it with the spiritual weapons that God has given to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: us freely to use our faith, Ladies and gentlemen, Church
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of Living, I'm talking to the church now. Our faith
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is not of this world. Our hope is not of
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this world. Our warfare is not of this world. Our
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: victory conquering is not of this world. Our very soul salvation, oh,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: not of this world. Remember, the Bible tells us we'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves. We are
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: not born of the will of man, the will of
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the flesh. No, no, no, the spirit not of this world.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So your very salvation is not of this world. Our
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: future inheritance that God has for us not of this world.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Our future reign with Christ is not of this world.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So please, Church of the Living God, may our future
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: focus and our kingdom endeavors be based on the words
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, with the understanding that again what he said
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: about his kingdom in which we have been made heirs,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it is not of this world. So may we please,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: by the help of the Holy Spirit, turn our focus
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: upon those who need to be supernaturally delivered from the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: kingdom of the darkness of this world to the Kingdom
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: of the Light, that again is not of this world.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So Father, will you help us today, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: help us, strengthen us, keep us, guide us, direct us,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: protect us. May we not be distracted delusional, let us
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: stray distracted from the mission that You've given to the Church.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: May we have the full understanding the wisdom and knowledge
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of Your kingdom, and be guided by the Holy Spirit
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: in us, that we may fight the good fight of faith,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: laying hold on eternal life, interceding for souls that are
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: lost outside of the ark of safety, that they may
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be grafted into, brought into ushered into the Kingdom of
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: your dear son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Help
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: us now in Jesus' name and your power and strength.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: By your grace and mercy and your keeping power, we
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: pray and give thanks. Amen and Amen.
