The Church should be the most powerful organism on the earth because it has the life of God within it, but the people sitting in the pews don’t know what they have.

We seem to have a “rocking chair salvation” — simply waiting on the rapture so we can go to the great retirement center in the sky. Many have an escapist mentality; sitting around waiting to be raptured out of here so they can escape any persecution, but the truth is we who have experienced true salvation have been saved to serve the King as His ambassadors on the earth, not simply go to heaven. Jesus didn’t die to get us to heaven – He died to restore us to union with God and to multiply His effectiveness on the earth by multiplying His presence through every born again person that is in relationship with Him. He didn’t die to get you into Heaven; He died to get heaven into you while you are living on the earth.

John 14:12 — “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.”

How can we do greater works than Jesus did? Think about it for a minute. Now, because we are in union with Him through covenant and the new birth, instead of one person doing these works there can be millions doing the works all over the world at the same time. That is definitely greater works and this is what we are to be doing as the Church – the body of Christ on the earth.

2 Corinthians 5:20 — “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, …”

_______________________________

Many Christian leaders for years and years have pointed to: “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV)

What evil is the modern church most guilty of? Most of the Church would name some sexual sin or perversion. Surely, there is much the church needs to walk away from – to change its thinking about?

However, don’t you think it is important that we repent from the right sins? Keep in mind repent is the Greek word metanoeō meaning to change one’s mind for better and feel compunction.

Sadly, most of the church has no revelation of who they are in Christ. Beyond basic salvation what did Jesus has done for? What has He called us to be?
Are we falling short of what we – the church – is intended to be.

First, true humility is depending on God rather than our personal plans and abilities. All too often Christians conceive of a plan born of the flesh and then ask the Lord to bless it. God wants us to discover His plan and for us to carry out His instructions. “I hear … I obey.” The Holy Spirit want us to learn to yield to His presence. He want us to enjoy and rest in His presence. He want us to pray in believing trust not desperate begging.

Seeking God’s face is far more than crying out to Him when we are in trouble. Jesus is a Person – we have been called into a deep daily relationship with Him.

What is more wicked that trying to live our lives apart from the Lord? Which is worst as a believer rebelling or ignoring God.

John 15:5b apart from Me you can do nothing.

Most Christians have heard Galatians 2:20 at one time or another. The question is are we yielding daily to the presence of God. We are the temple of the Hoy Spirit. God did not come to visit – that is Old Covenant. He came to reside and abide – that’s New Covenant.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Many believers have not focused on the verses before and after verse 20.

Galatians 2:19 & 21 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Sadly most in the church worries about keeping the Law, rather than realizing Jesus came to complete the Law – to fulfill it. Christ fulfilled the Law. We keep struggling with our sins rather walking in the victory Jesus won for us.

Matthew 5:17 (ESV) Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”

The church spends so much time trying to deal with their sins, they have no victory – no joy and no peace. Have you ever read:

“So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:11 (ESV)

“Moreover, now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.” Romans 6:22 (ESV)

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14 (ESV)

Under the Old Covenant when the family father brought his lamb for sacrifice to atone for the family’s sins. He brought it to the priest for sacrifice. The entire focus was on the Lamb, not on the father. The sins were laid up the Lamb and then it was sacrificed.

Years ago as a child every time we had Communion, we were instructed to look at our sins, even though we had confessed during the last communion. Very little focus was placed on the fact that we were forgiven and dead to sin.

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; He made us pure and holy, and He freed us from sin. 1 Corinthians 1:30 (NLT)

I’m writing to you, dear children, because your sins are forgiven through Christ.
1 John 2:12 (GW)

We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:22-24 (NLT)

Through the blood of His Son, we are set free from our sins. God forgives our failures because of His overflowing kindness. Ephesians 1:7 (GW)

“For (since) I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” Hebrews 8:12 (ESV)

In summary, the church is failing to assume it role to establish the will of God on the earth. We are failing to accept all that Jesus has already done for us.

The church is asleep at the switch. It is past time to be the church to be the church. This is the failure – the sin that the church is most guilty of.

Will the church step up – change it’s thinking; start praying and establish the will of God on the earth?

I believe God is raising up a new generation that He will pour Himself through.
I generation that will do mighty deeds through. As He does this, the present church needs to be praying the prayers God wants prayed and establish His will on earth.

Although mankind has made huge discoveries that have totally changed the way we live, it seems like we know less about ourselves than previous generations. While our ancestors didn’t have all the modern conveniences, they had a peace and strength that eludes most today. As our knowledge of our natural world has increased, our knowledge of spiritual things has decreased. In man’s arrogance, he blindly believes all of life’s problems can be solved by himself. But there can be no peace without if there isn’t peace within.

There is a whole universe that man in all his wisdom is ignorant of. That is the world of the spirit. And I’m not just talking about the spiritual realm outside of us but also the spiritual being inside of every person. We aren’t evolved animals; we were created in God’s image and likeness (Gen. 1:26). We are spirit beings. The ultimate way to control bad behavior isn’t by more laws, metal detectors, or social engineering; it’s changing the hearts of people, one at a time. Only Jesus can do that.

Yet sadly, even many Christians have lost this spiritual point of view. Very few Christians know who they are in the spirit. In fact, they have been taught by religion that they are sinners by nature—just the opposite of what the Bible teaches.

It’s true that we were all born sinners (Ps. 51:5) and had the nature of the devil working in us (Eph. 2:2-3). But when we came to Christ and became born again, we became a new person in the spirit.

“I’m going to give you a new heart, and I’m going to give you a new Spirit within all of your deepest parts. I’ll remove that rock-hard heart of yours and replace it with one that’s sensitive to me I’ll place My Spirit within you, empowering you to live according to My regulations and to keep My just decrees.” Ezekiel 36:25-27

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature ( a brand new species): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”. 2 Corinthians 5:17

This isn’t talking about your body. If you were a man before you accepted Christ, you were still a man afterwards. Your body didn’t change. And your soul, which is what the Bible calls the mental-emotional-volitional part of you, didn’t automatically change either. It’s subject to change, but you have to renew your mind to experience change in your mind and emotions.

But in the spirit, you became a brand-new species of being. Your spirit is totally new.

There isn’t an old sin nature left in you.

I know this comes as a complete shock to many of you who have been indoctrinated in the-old-nature-versus-the-new-nature theology. Most Christians have been taught to believe that after salvation, they are still the same at their core, and they live the rest of their lives trying to restrain this old nature. They believe they have two natures. That’s schizophrenic, and it produces Christians who are nothing like Christ.

Paul dealt with this issue in Romans 6. He had so powerfully proved in the preceding chapters that God deals with us by grace through faith that the logical question was, “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” (Rom. 6:1). Of course, this is not what Paul was saying, and he gave two reasons in this chapter that Christians should live holy.

The first reason Paul gave simply says,
“How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:2
What a radical statement! This is not believed by the majority of Christians today. They believe that they are alive to sin and that it is with much effort, frustration, and failure that they battle this sin nature the rest of their lives. That’s not what Paul believed.

Paul said that once we are baptized into Christ (Rom. 6:3), we experience a death to our old sin nature. It’s dead. It’s gone. It doesn’t exist anymore.

I can just hear people saying, “What!? Are you crazy? I still struggle with many sins. I’m not dead to sin.”

I will admit that Christians still sin. Paul made mention of this in this very chapter and dealt with it in more detail in Romans 7. But our nature has been changed. The only reason we still sin is because we don’t know these truths (John 8:32).

Our minds are similar to computers in the sense that they can be programmed. And once programmed, they will continue to function as programmed until we reprogram them. We were all born in sin, and our old sin nature programmed our minds how to be selfish, bitter, angry, how to lust, etc. When we are born again (John 3:3), we become totally new in our spirits. This old nature has been completely changed (2 Cor. 5:17). It’s not in the process of becoming new; it’s already as pure and perfect as Jesus (1 John 4:17, 1 Cor. 6:17, and Eph. 4:24).

Paul called this resurrection life. In Romans 6:5, he said,
“For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection”.

But in the very next verse, he said we have to know something in order to experience this. The first thing he mentioned is that “our old man is crucified with [Christ]” (Rom. 6:6, brackets mine). This isn’t something that has yet to happen or that has to happen over and over; it’s a done deal. In our new, born-again spirits, we are dead to sin.

Then Paul said,
“That the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6
Our sin nature is dead and gone, but it left behind a body. That body is the carnal mind. It will still function as programmed until we reprogram it. That’s what the Bible calls the renewing of the mind. Our lives are transformed by the renewing of our minds (Rom. 12:2).

Therefore, victory in the Christian life is as simple as renewing our minds to who we are and what we have already received in Christ. It’s not the struggle of two natures inside of us; we are the way we think (Prov. 23:7). If we see ourselves as old sinners, saved by grace, then we will continue to struggle with sin. But when we see the total change that took place in our nature, we will manifest that change in our actions.

When we see ourselves as being part devil, we act like it. But when we see who we are in Christ—i.e., in our born-again spirits—we become like Him (2 Cor. 3:18 and 1 John 3:2). The way we see ourselves becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In the spirit that I’ve been totally changed and made just like Jesus.
Since God is a Spirit and He deals with me on the basis of who I am in the spirit (John 4:24), this has changed everything. I now worship God based on who I am in the spirit and not on who I am in my flesh; i.e., how I act or feel. I now understand how our holy God can truly love me, because in my born-again spirit, I’m totally righteous and holy (Eph. 4:24). My spirit is His workmanship (Eph. 2:10).

I’ve discovered that I’m redeemed from the Law because the Law wasn’t made for a righteous man (1 Tim. 1:9). The Law was given to show us our need for salvation, but it couldn’t save us (Rom. 3:19-21). But what the Law couldn’t do, Jesus did (Rom. 8:3-4), and I’m now the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21).

This entitles me to everything God is and has. I have His authority to use, and to the degree that I’ve done this, I’ve experienced miraculous results. I’m so excited about this that I’m trying to let the whole world know these truths.

Christians live under a New Covenant in which God’s home is inside of people that have been born again have the life of Jesus imparted into them, but we don’t live as though we really believe that. When we spend our time, efforts, and energies inside a building we call “the church” we fundamentally lose our influence on those who do not know Jesus.

The “Church / Ekklesia” that Jesus said He would build does not need Sunday morning meetings, or Sunday night meetings, or midweek meetings, or youth ministries, or children’s ministries, or men’s and women’s ministries, or great singing, or great speeches to the same people week after week. These type of activities do not create the Kingdom expansion Jesus wants. What God wants is people to live like a family and love one another and relate to one another and do about 30 one another’s as recorded in Scripture.

God has a plan for reaching and redeeming all the people’s on this planet.

The amazing fact is that if we do it God’s way, it could be done in less than a generation.

If this statement is true, then why hasn’t it already been done?

Let’s start looking and see if we can the answer to that question.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

Have you ever been in a church meeting and during the sermon wanted to ask the speaker a question about what they meant by a statement they made, but couldn’t?

Have you ever been in a meeting and desired to be used by God to minister to or pray for someone, but couldn’t because you weren’t part of the “ministry team”?

Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, or communion, with a token cracker or wafer and a thimble full of something to sip or drink?

Have you ever wondered why we split families up during a meeting of the church sending children and teens to other rooms for meetings of their own?

Have you ever wondered why we have a “caste system” of clergy and laity while the Bible says we are all ministers and the only job of a pastor is to equip us to function, not just preach to us?

If the church is a family, how come when we get together for a meeting we sit in rows, look at the back of people’s necks, and listen to someone give a speech? How can this foster anything relational? How can this be relational Christianity?

According to the Bible, these things should not be the way they are!! They are wrong!!

“When you come together, EVERYONE has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these MUST be done for the strengthening of the church.” 1 Corinthians 14:26

Since the creation of the human family in the Garden of Eden that was created in His image and likeness, it has been the Father’s great desire that they live in His presence and enjoy the amazing LIFE he had given them. The Father would come into the garden daily and have fellowship with the man and his wife. When the humans yielded to Lucifer’s temptations and disobeyed God they allowed sin to break their fellowship with their Creator and had to leave the garden where they had experienced God’s presence. They now experienced fear and loneliness and self-sufficiency for the first time in their lives.

This broke the Father’s heart to see His creation suffer like that and He had a plan of how to restore to the human family what had been stolen from them by the deceitfulness of Lucifer / Satan.

Under the Old Covenant the people had to go to a building called the Temple to be taught the Scriptures and to worship God. They believed that God lived in that building and they had to go there to be in His presence to worship according to the Law.

But God had a different plan in mind and He gave that plan to two different prophets to tell the people what He was going to do.

“I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be My people” JEREMIAH 31:33.

Ezekiel expressed it this way: “A new heart also I will give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a new heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My ordinances, and do them” EZEKIEL 36:26-27.

When the Day of Pentecost came these prophecies became a reality. God moved out of the Temple and into a new home to dwell in: The human heart or the human spirit. This new home became the command center of the Spirit of King Jesus to speak to and guide His human “new creations” – the “EKKLESIA”.

This was the fulfillment of the NEW COVENANT.

For the first two hundred years this was what the people believed and lived accordingly even under tremendous persecution for declaring Jesus was their King and Lord. In 312A.D. the Roman Emperor under the direction of Satan started to build large buildings for the church and force the Christians to meet in these buildings. These churches were now called the Roman Catholic (Universal) Church and blended together the Christians and the pagans in the same church and placed professional orators in these churches to deliver the teachings. This was the beginning of the loss of the light in the world and the kingdom of darkness beginning to ascend.

For Christian disciples of King Jesus to think they MUST go to a building they call “the church” is nothing more than heresy and trying to live under the Old Covenant in which the people went to where they thought God was.

LET’S LOOK AT SOME TRUTH FROM GOD.

EPHESIANS 3:16-19 & 20 — “that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge ,that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.”

“Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,”

I want you to notice what he asked. He didn’t say, “I ask that you might have nice meetings in a building called a church.” No, he asked that our inner man be strengthened, and that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith.

We Christians have become so deceived by Satan and his religious system called “Christianity” that we fallen for a myth and a system of this fallen world created by Satan to keep the body of Christ divided and to keep it from understanding its power so we are little threat to him and his kingdom of darkness. He has us very much entangled in his world systems — especially the religious system called the Christian religion and church.

Meetings can be wonderful, but my spiritual life is not grounded in meetings no matter how wonderful they may be. It is grounded in Jesus who lives within me.
Now, our meetings can be a help in strengthening us in our inner man, or they can be the greatest single hindrance of all. It depends on whether we are meeting-centered or Jesus-centered.

“But aren’t we all Jesus-centered?” someone asks. When I hear some of the things that Christians say, I wonder if we really are Jesus-centered. I frequently hear statements that cause great concern. For instance, especially among the Charismatics and Pentecostals I hear, “Since I came into this place I felt the presence of the Lord.”

And I would have to think to myself, or to ask them, “And where was the Lord before you came into this place?”

Actually, if we did not bring Him in with us, He is not there. He is not in the habit of hanging from the ceiling and descending upon people each time there is a meeting. He does not dwell in buildings like in the old covenant Temple. He dwells in people in the new covenant.

If Jesus is at the meeting when you go there, it is because He is within you. You brought Him with you in order to release Him to touch others. So how can you say, “Oh, as soon as I get to the meeting I will feel the presence of the Lord?” That sounds nice, but it is heresy. It is absolutely trying to live under the old covenant. It produces great confusion to you in your walk with the Lord Jesus.

Don’t confuse emotion with the presence of the Lord.

When people tell me, “I feel the presence of the Lord”, I seriously question whether they have any real understanding of the new covenant. The same people who “feel” the presence of the Lord in meetings also say “I am going through a dry and barren place and I am so parched” even though they have rivers of living water flowing from within them. They have an Amazon or Nile river of living water flowing from inside of them and don’t even know it because they are “concept” oriented rather than “life” oriented.
To release these rivers of water that we have within us, we simply need to start believing and acting as if what God says is true.

We need to learn, not how to get more from God, but how to release all that we have. “The love of God is spread abroad,” says Paul. Where? “In our hearts.” So, all the love that we need is already there if we are truly “born again”.

Don’t say, “Lord, give me more love so I can love my brother.” If you don’t love your brother, it isn’t because you don’t have enough love. It’s because you don’t have the “LIFE” of the Spirit of Jesus within you. All the love you need is within you. You don’t need more love. You need to learn how to release the flow of the love that is already within you if you have truly become a new creation in Christ.

God never commands us to do something we cannot do. He will never ask you to do something He has not already given you the ability to do. This is His promise under the new covenant. He said, “I will cause you to walk in My ways.”

Do you recall the incident when Peter and John were going to the temple and they saw a lame man laid at the gate Beautiful? They didn’t point to the man and tell him, “You need to come to our campaign meeting so that we can teach you the four steps to healing. If you learn them and believe them, you can be healed.”

No, they said, “What we have, we give. Rise up and walk.” ACTS 3:6.

Peter and John didn’t ask the man to do something. They simply conferred upon him what they already had. It was just the rivers of life flowing spontaneously out of them. They knew what they had. The problem is, we don’t know what we have.
What does it mean to live in the Spirit?

To live in the Spirit and to walk in the Spirit is to be continuously conscious of the presence of the Spirit of Jesus within you. That’s all it is.
“What? That’s too simple!!”

Many books have been written about walking in the Spirit. Some of them are very good. But most of those books deal with all the things we need to unlearn, not what we need to learn to walk in the Spirit. They are mostly directed at Christians who are in error trying to live under the old covenant and the new covenant at the same time.

Life in the Spirit should be the easiest thing you can imagine. The things of the kingdom of God are easy, simple. That is why Jesus said that in order to understand the life of the kingdom we have to forget how intelligent we are and become like children.

Today, especially, we are intelligent people because we have a great deal of education. I believe there are many things concerning the Gospel that we do not understand not because they are too difficult, but because they are too easy and don’t appeal to us.
The things of the Lord have to be very simple if they are for the poor and uneducated. As I have already said, to walk in the Spirit is simpler than we can imagine. In the first century church the people did not have all of these materials listed below to help them, they simply believed it was true and began to practice what Jesus or the apostles had told them.

You don’t need to read many books and listen to dozens of CD’s or tapes. Actually, the more you read, the more confused you will become until you really understand the simplicity of the Gospel.

That is why all we need is to have the eyes of our hearts opened to see that because the life of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is in us, we have all that is needful for walking in the Spirit. If once we can see that He in us is everything and that we are joined as one with Him so that we are continuously in His presence, life becomes very easy. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO AN ORGANIZED MEETING OF A CHURCH TO EXPIENCE BEING IN HIS PRESENSE SINCE HE IS WITH YOU ALL THE TIME. IF YOU THINK THAT WAY, YOU ARE LIVING BY RELIGION AND THE TRADITIONS OF MEN, NOT GOD.

Paul prayed in EPHESIANS 1:18-19 — “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatest of His power toward us who believe..”

That is why, before the New Covenant was even instituted, Jesus said to us in MATTHEW 11:28-30 — “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My load is light.”

HOW DO WE WALK IN THE SPIRIT?

He said “I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My ordinances, and do them”. In other words, by His Spirit living within us in our inner-most being He will speak to us and enable us to do His will. He speaks to us through our conscience and intuition, not our mind. When He speaks to us it is very quiet and He simply guides us into doing the things He would do if He was the One doing them. He speaks to us if He were our best friend, not some slave Master.

Here is an example. One day I saw a very pretty woman walking down the street and I said to the Lord, “That is a pretty woman You created”. I immediately heard Him say within me “Rob, be careful of your thoughts.” I responded, “Thank you Lord for helping me be careful, but she was pretty.” The Lord said, “I know, I created her with both outward beauty and she also has inward beauty; you must be careful not to let your thoughts get tripped up.”

Another time, I was out in the back yard simply admiring the trees and the deep blue sky and I said, “Lord this is such a beautiful creation You have made for me to enjoy living in”. As soon I said that He said to me in that quiet voice, “I am so glad you enjoy it. I have many beautiful places for you to enjoy because I love to create beautiful places for My children to enjoy.”

Our Lord loves to talk to us as though we are best of friends. It is tragic that the religious system has made communicating with God so religious. The system tells us how to pray, when to pray, what to pray; and our Father does not like hearing recited praying the same things over and over. If you spoke to your best friend saying the same things over and over you would probably lose a friend. They would wonder “What’s wrong with you? Is that all you have to say?”

Scripture tells us to “Pray without ceasing”, or in other words, keep open lines of communications throughout your entire day. He wants to have communion with you as your best friend.

Being led by the Spirit of Jesus is the easiest thing we could possibly do. He lives within us all the time and we can talk to Him at any time during the day or night and He looks forward to it.

Can you even imagine what could happen in your community if all the congregations ( or the people who claim to be Christians) worked together and did the same works that Jesus did by exercising the authority and dominion that He demonstrated as our example? Jesus was only one man in one location at a time. The Church that He is building is made up of hundreds and thousands and even millions of “Christians” –(little Christs) doing the same works He did while in His earthly walk. We, the EKKLESIA, are the continuation of His life upon this earth today.

How did Jesus overcome Satan when He was confronted while n the wilderness? By quoting the Scriptures back to Satan with every temptation Satan through at Him. The very same way we resist Satan’s attacks. The quoted Scriptures are the Sword of the Spirit that is our greatest weapon for overcoming temptations. They are the verbal expressions of our authority that has been delegated to us by King Jesus as we go forward as His ambassadors.

We do not war against Satan, fallen angels, or demons. We simply stand in the victory that Jesus has already won through His death and resurrection. He won the war and is the glorious redeemer King. When we enter His covenant kingdom through the new birth and becoming a new creation we become a part of His body on this earth and take His place as an overcoming victorious conqueror to bring His LIGHT to everywhere our foot treads. We are the earthly expression of our victorious King who is the Head of this body. Satan and his powers of darkness have already been totally defeated by our King and we are the mop-up team simply enforcing our King’s victory by declaring that victory to all the earth dwellers, to Satan, to the fallen angels, to demons, and to all the captives in the kingdom of darkness. We have been made “AMBASSADORS” of King Jesus with the authority to use His name to exercise His authority in all of our activities upon this earth to live as members of the family of God and THE EKKLESIA OF KING JESUS.

2 Corinthians 5:20 – “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”

John 14:13 —  “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

John 14:14 — “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”

John 16:23 — “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.”

John 16:24 — “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.”

Mark 16:16-18 — “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Our job as His Ambassadors is to bring into manifestation on this earth the life that is in heaven.

Matthew 6:10 – “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

He is seated on a throne in heaven as King over His kingdom and He has united Himself with us through the blood covenant He established and has sent His Holy Spirit to put His LIFE (zoe) within us as a new creation. That new creation is the body of Christ on this earth  ( the Ekklesia” ) that has been empowered and co-missioned to continue doing the same works He did when He was physically on this earth. He, through the Holy Spirit, is in you and you through the blood-covenant are in Him.

1 John 4:17 — “as He is, so are we in this world.”

“Your Supernatural Christian Life Training Course” Waiting List

 

This is a controversial principle we see in the Scriptures that is a normal part of being a supernatural Christian. This principle is totally in line with confessing God’s word. It’s the principle of “calling those things that are not as though they are”. It is the principle of “calling” things from the “fourth dimensions spiritual realm” into the “third dimension physical realm”.
When God created the universe, He looked out and saw darkness. His response was to say “light, be”. He didn’t say, “It sure is dark out here.” He spoke what He wanted, not what He saw. He “called” what He wanted, not what He had. This is God’s method.
When God was dealing with Abram and told him he was going to be the father of many nations, Abram wavered not in doubt. He took God at His Word. Think about this, Abram was 75 years old. God changed Abram’s name to “Abraham” which meant “father of many nations”. God also had him look at the stars in the sky and give them names to help put the vision in his heart. At 100 years old and Sarah being 99 years old, well beyond child birth age, they had a child that was the answer to what God had promised. Abraham held onto God’s promise of a child for 25 years. Incredible, but God was calling into being that which was not.
I can give you many more examples in the New Testament of Jesus doing the same thing His Father did. Jesus constantly confessed that He always did what He saw His Father doing, or saying what He heard His Father saying, etc. Read the Gospel of John to see the confessions that Jesus made. Jesus always walked by faith and He is to be our example of what the human family is to be like. Ephesians 5:1 tells us to “be imitators of God”.
In Mark 11:22 — “And Jesus answered saying to them, ‘Have faith in God’” The Interlineal New Testament translates the “in God” to the literal “of God”
Young’s Literal New Testament translates this verse to “Have the faith OF GOD.”
God uses His faith by SPEAKING the end desire of what He desires. We are to imitate Him. Calling that which is not yet manifested in the physical.
In Mark 11:23 Jesus continued by saying to His disciples “Truly, I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted to him.”
In Mark 11:24 Jesus continues by saying, “Therefore I say to you, ‘all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall be granted you.’”
Romans 12:3 — “…God has given to each the measure of faith”
People get upset when I say we have been given the faith of God, but think for yourself about this. If I have the Holy Spirit of God living within my spirit doesn’t He possess the faith of God? The Holy Spirit has ALL the gifts of the Spirit and one of them is the gift of faith. Scripture says God has also given us the measure of faith. How can we argue that we need more faith?
The apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith and the response Jesus gave them is enlightening.
Luke 17:5-6 — “And the apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’
“And the Lord said, ‘If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.”
When you pray to bring healing to a person who needs healing what are you actually doing? Aren’t you speaking your desires, or speaking the end result you want to occur?
Actually, you are “calling” something that is not manifest in the third-dimension physical realm to come from the fourth-dimension spiritual real and manifest in the third-dimension realm. Humans seem to call these manifestations “miracles”, but in reality, it is simply operating by the laws God has established. Read the scriptures above again and you will see.
Your faith is expressed through your mouth. What you believe in your heart is what you speak out of your mouth. We are to live by faith. This is to be our lifestyle; walking and living by faith.
Hebrews 11:6 — “And without faith it is impossible to please God…”
2 Corinthians 4:13 — “I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, therefore also we speak”
Romans 10:8 — “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”.
• Where does the “Word” live? Jesus is the Word and He lives in your inner spirit by His Holy Spirit. You are in UNION WITH HIM.
Jesus is your example of how you are to live and He was always saying what His Father said. He spoke Scripture out of His mouth continually. He is your example. Speak your faith.

As I write these words, the Christian faith is in crisis. The impact that the body of Christ has on the world is meager. The reason for much of this problem has to do with an insipid allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ among Christians and a profound misunderstanding of His kingdom. In fact, I’m convinced that our understanding of “allegiance” to Jesus is warped at best. The primary reason for this is because the preachers are preaching a watered down message that simply wants people to believe that God’s only desire to “bless” them and get then to heaven.

By and large, Christians seem to fall into one of two camps when it comes to following Jesus.

Camp 1 consists of those whose relationship to Jesus is understood to be an allegiance to external rule-keeping [Legalism]. These people may not realize it, but they are in bondage to religious duty and obligation.

Camp 2 consists of those whose relationship to Jesus is understood to be a supplement to their already busy lives. Believing in Jesus makes them feel a little happier and helps them deal with sad days. But Jesus isn’t really central to their lives. These people may not realize it, but they are in bondage to their own desires. These people are generally motivated by their flesh. [Libertines] — the “what’s in this for ME” camp.

“So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:16 Wycliffe Bible (WYC))

It’s rare to find a Christian today who doesn’t fit into these two camps. Yet they do exist. And my hope is that with the release of this training e-course, their “ekklesia” will increase. The “ekklesia” I’m describing—this third camp—is made up of those whose relationship to Jesus Christ is not motivated by guilt, condemnation, shame, religious duty, the fear of hell, or the hope of heaven. Rather, it’s motivated by the compelling sight of the glorious Person of Christ and the irresistible power of His kingdom.

Regrettably, this motivation has been lost to the great majority of us today. We are all products of the kind of gospel we hear and believe. So, the quality of the convert is the result of the quality of the gospel declared. Thankfully, the gospel of the kingdom—and all that goes with it—is being recovered and reclaimed among groups of people all over the world today. God is raising up a people who are neither rule-oriented nor halfhearted. They are neither self-righteous nor lukewarm. They are neither legalistic nor libertine. Instead, these are those who are responding to the explosive power of the kingdom message as it was proclaimed in the early days of the primitive church. This hearty band constitutes a revolution to the present order of things. I wrote this e-course for one reason: so that the Jesus revolution and the proclamation that His Kingdom is at hand will grow and spread in our time and beyond.

When people hear the words radical and revolutionary they instantly think of some aggressive, gun toting, anarchist that has motives to overthrow an earthly government, but that was not the intentions of Jesus. The word “radical” comes from a Latin word “radix” which simply means “to cut to the root” as in “radical surgery” to remove a cancerous growth — the surgeon “cuts to the root of the cancer” to remove it. In this sense, Jesus was a radical with a radical message that was indeed meant to cut to the root of sin and remove it from our lives.

His mission and the revolution He started was the overthrow of Satan’s rule over humanity and his kingdom of darkness and to replace it with the kingdom of God. 1 John 3:8 — “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

His mission was not to be accomplished with guns, swords, bombs, or any other weapons. He would accomplish His revolutionary mission by demonstrating the inconceivable and unfathomable love that God has for His human creation and the people bound up in the kingdom of darkness. He would demonstrate how much He loves us even while we hated Him. His was a revolution of love – the most powerful force in the universe.

Jesus Christ is God’s revolutionary change agent on the earth. When Jesus came to this earth over two thousand years ago He came and presented mankind with the most radical and life changing reality in history. His primary message– “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand”.

He is the key figure in the history of the world and has had the greatest impact on the people on the earth as well as the religions and the governments of this world. He has also dealt with Satan in the spirit realm and has put a stake in the heart of his kingdom rule on this earth.

The covenant kingdom is the most radical and revolutionary reality we can ever experience. When I speak of radical Christianity I am not referring to some off-the-wall hyper zealots who choose to live in a fortified compound somewhere in a very isolated area where they have no, or little, contact with the outside world. These folks have missed the whole reality of what Christianity is all about.

When I speak of true Christianity I am referring to a true “revolution in life” that was started by the greatest revolutionary of all time — Jesus Christ. This revolution in life is lived out in His covenant kingdom. The revolution that Jesus started was when He began to declare His radical message– “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand”.

This declaration rattled the gates of hell and put fear into the heart of Satan because he could now sense his defeat and the breaking of his dominion over the lives of the human family.

When I refer to Jesus as the greatest radical revolutionary of all time I am speaking of His mission to earth and what He accomplished. This is the reason that the concepts of radical Christianity and the covenant kingdom must be explained and taught. 

Exalting Jesus as Lord and King over His kingdom; and uncovering God the Father’s heart desire and how it is being fulfilled.

Let me explain some definitions of these terms so we will be on the same page in our understanding of what I am saying. The following definitions are directly taken from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
• Radical– radix – fundamental, extreme, cutting to the root of an issue
• Revolutionary– one who constitutes and brings about rapid change
• Revolution– a sudden, radical, and complete change; the over-throw or renunciation of one ruler or government and substitution of another by the governed
• Concepts– thought, notion, idea; organized around a main idea or theme
• Lord– from the Greek word “KURIOS” — means master, owner, possessor, maximum or supreme authority.

Seeing who Jesus really is today is a life altering experience. He is no longer the long-haired, bearded, sandal wearing, robe wearing, hippy-looking guy that walked the road of Israel 2000 years ago. He is nothing like Buddha, or Mohammed, or the founder of any of the great religions of this world. Today, we are to know Jesus as the eternal King of all creation and the Supreme power and Ruler of His universal kingdom. He is the most glorious and powerful being in the entire universe and when we meet the true King Jesus our lives become changed forever because we have encountered the life altering message of the King and His covenant kingdom.

Luke 6:46 — “And why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?”

Philippians 2:9-11 — “Therefore God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, and at the name of Jesus every knee should bow; those who are in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Father.”

My entire teaching ministry is built on the fundamental principle that God has a kingdom that encompasses the entire creation and that He has a plan and purpose for all of humanity. That purpose is established on the principle of covenant as the primary way that man can relate to a living God. My goal is to open the eyes of our understanding to the reality of the covenant kingdom of God so that we might see the truth of scripture and His promise to us of a new covenant and become a functioning part of His covenant kingdom in a covenant relationship with God and His people through Jesus. We can then actually begin to fulfill our purpose as people of destiny and reign in life as kings and priests through the gift of righteousness.

For the most part the institutional church as we know it today has missed the fundamental fact that we are in union with the living God through a blood-covenant relationship and we are to seek first and foremost His reign in our lives because JESUS CHRIST IS BOTH LORD AND KING.

For the most part, followers of Jesus see Him as our Savior, but not as our Lord and King to be OBEYED.

NOTE:  When I say He is to OBEYED, I am not referring to external obedience from reading your Bible.  I am referring to the inward leading He gives to you as you learn to live by the indwelling presence of the Lord Jesus by His Holy Spirit;  Or learning to live by faith and walk in the Spirit,  Romans 8:4 —  “who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”  The kingdom of God is the manifested presence of the rule of King Jesus in the lives of His disciples.

Being in covenant with Jesus is not about performance and going through the activities of religion — it’s about relationship. He said in John 14:20 – “In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” He is IN us and because of that we are NEW CREATIONS IN CHRIST.
