Kingdom Takeover
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Mk 3:14-15 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
He chose 12 first of all (to be with him) to have fellowship and relationship with him
So he could send them out.
1. Relationship (his presence)
2. Power (ministry, warfare, kingdom authority)
“Message” “Power”
Lu 9: 1-2 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
And they departed and went through the towns preaching the gospel and healing everywhere
Saying & Doing
Look at Jesus
Mtt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom, then he manifested the reality of the Kingdom.
(The healing of the sick, casting out devils, the deliverance of the bound and the oppressed and the afflicted was the proof that the kingdom had come.
Matt 12:28 Jesus said: But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
The point is: the Kingdom of God is real, it rules over the kingdom of the devil.
The gospel has 2 sides
1. Saying 2. Doing
1 Co 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in Power.
In other words: The Kingdom of God is not just a concept or theory to be grasped intellectually, (But the Kingdom of God is a kingdom of Power.
Jesus is the King and the HolyGhost is the Power.
The Kingdom of God is the rule, the dominion, the authority of Jesus manifesting through us by the power of the HolyGhost to prove to the world that Jesus is alive.
The gospel of the Kingdom is a gospel of Power.
Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the greek.
Ro 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy in the HolyGhost.
It’s a Spiritual Kingdom:
It’s a Kingdom of righteousness: You can’t have sin in your life and operate in Kingdom authority and Power.
You can’t join this Kingdom, you must be born into it.
Jn 3:3 Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.
Vs 5 Except a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is not for the passive (It’s for the Passionate)
If you want Kingdom Power: You have to pursue it.
Matt 11:12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.
The HolyGhost is the one who manifests the Kingdom of God.
That’s why Jesus told his disciples to wait for the power of the HolyGhost.
Acts 1:4 He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem but wait for the promise of the father.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive Power after that the HolyGhost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth.
If we are going to be true credible witnesses to Jesus being alive, we have to have Power.
Acts 4:33 And with great Power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon them all.
When Elijah met Ahab and the backslidden nation of Israel and the false prophets of Baal upon mt carmel. Nothing less than the Power of God being manifested could melt their hearts.
It took fire from heaven, It took a demonstration of the supernatural power of God.
It is no less true today: Nothing less than the demonstration and manifestation of the power of God, will convince people that Jesus is alive.
I’m telling you: The cry of every many and woman and young man and young woman of God, should be for God to send the fire.
That’s what they meant in Acts 4:29-30 They asked God for boldness to preach his word, and then they asked for him to stretch out his hands with signs and wonders and miracles.
They knew they needed more than a message, they needed (Power)
Paul the Apostle knew this too
He said:
1 Co 2:1 And I brethren when I came to you came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of God
vs 4-5 And my speech and my preaching was no with enticing words of mans wisdom, but in Demonstration of the spirit and of Power that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man but in the Power of God.
When the Kingdom of God comes, it comes with Power.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the HolyGhost and with Power who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.
Jesus message was: Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. (And he delivered the people from their sins and he healed their bodies and he drove out the demons, and he raised the dead.
Then he sent his disciples out and they did the same thing.
They preached the Kingdom of God, they cast out devils, they healed the sick, and destroyed the works of the devil everywhere they went.
Now he sends us out to do the same thing (To preach the Kingdom of God and to demonstrate it).
2 Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christs stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Ambassadors are sent forth with full power and authority to represent the Kingdom that sends them.
Jesus said:
Jn 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Lu 10:19 Behold I give unto you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
We are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God tonight
We are here representing Jesus Christ
We are here with full authority and power to announce to you that (the Kingdom of God is Among You)
We are here to declare to you that satan is a thief and a liar and a trespasser, he has no legal right or authority to your life in any way shape or form.
Jesus Christ Paid in full for your salvation, your healing, your deliverance, your miracle, the restoration of your marriage, the freedom in your mind, your peace.
On the cross he paid it all
Gods plan is that every single one of us get the revelation of his kingdom in us and that you go in Jesus name and start setting people free.
You have His Blood
His Name
His Word
His Spirit
His Power
The gospel is a gospel of Power
You don’t just carry a Message you carry the power, you carry the King
The kingdom of God is in you, the King lives in you and wants to manifest his power through you.
The plan of God is that every believer would not only be saved from sin, but would take their rightful place as kings and priests and begin to rule and reign with Jesus over satans kingdom and all his works.
1Jn 3:8 Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
The Kingdom of God is about territory
Everything the devil has, he holds illegally
He is a trespasser and a thief and a robber
Spiritually, physically, emotionally, (it all belongs to God) The Kingdom of God is taking back the territory that has been purchased by the blood of Jesus.
The devil is trespassing on Kingdom Property
This territory belongs to God
This city belongs to God
This community belongs to God
The state belongs to God
The legal owner is here: The squatter must go
The Kingdom of God is taking over
Through the power of the blood of Jesus
Through the authority of Jesus name
Through the power of the Holy Spirit
Tonight: the Kingdom of God is come
Righteousness, Peace, Joy, in the Holy Ghost (Is taking over)
