THE KINGDOM AND THE GREAT COMMISSION


This afternoon we are going to be talking about the kingdom and the great commission of us as kingdom citizens. What are you supposed to be sharing at your job? What's the message you’re supposed to be sharing as a school teacher in the classroom? What are you supposed to be telling your colleagues in your construction job? What are you supposed to be saying to people? Not about your religion, don't talk about even your church. Talk about the kingdom. That's what they want. Why? Because the kingdom of The Most High Yah deals with the issue of the original purpose of The Most High Yah. What is The Most High Yah's original purpose? You can write these down as we move quickly through them. Number one principle is that the original purpose of The Most High Yah and plan of The Most High Yah was the extension of his heavenly kingdom on earth through mankind. That's what The Most High Yah always wanted. Number two the original purpose of The Most High Yah was that the destiny of mankind was for The Most High Yah to have a family of sons who would dominate the earth for him. That's what The Most High Yah wanted. Number three The Most High Yah's original plan was to have dominion over the earth. So when man fell he did not fall really from heaven, he fell from Dominion. When Adam sinned he lost effectual dominion over the earth. Number four, the purpose and the goal of The Most High Yah's Redemption of his entire redemptive work is to restore man back not to heaven but to what man fell from. What was that? Dominion. So the goal of The Most High Yah has got to get us not to heaven but to get us back in charge of Earth. That is why he will bring us back to earth eventually because that's his original plan and The Most High Yah's purposes never change. His plans may change but not his purpose. What The Most High Yah intended he will always get. Now I'm gonna move quickly so you have to stay with me. Let's talk then about the kingdom assignment of kingdom citizens. How kingdom citizens are supposed to be fulfilling a purpose that The Most High Yah originally intended. The Most High Yah's purpose for kingdom citizens is the same purpose he had for himself and that is to restore man back to rulership and dominion of the earth. Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 is very clear as to why The Most High Yah created man. In his own image, in his own likeness, that he may have dominion over the fish, the birds of the sea and all the earth. In Matthew chapter 24 verse 14 it says and when this cause of the kingdom is preached into all the world as a testimony for all men and all nations then the end will come. In the Book of Luke Yahusha states to us his purpose. Here's the mission of Yahusha in a simple statement that he made in Luke 4:43 it says, I must preach the good news of what? The kingdom of The Most High Yah to other towns also. Why? Because that is why I was sent. He tells us why he was sent. He wasn't sent to start a religion, he wasn’t sent to start some traditions, he didn't come to create some religious order, he didn't come to even begin some religious grouping. Hamachiach didn't come to start a competition with polytheism or atheism or communism. He came to do something that we missed. Matter of fact he didn't even come to start choirs and worship songs and prayer meetings. He came really to do something that he states. What did he come to do? To preach the good news of the kingdom of The Most High Yah to every town and every person. In the book of Matthew chapter 10 verse 6 it says as you go, and he's talking to us now, you also preach what? The kingdom of heaven is near. In the book of Matthew chapter 24 verse 14 it says and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony and then the end will come. Every instruction is to preach the kingdom of The Most High Yah. Why am I reminding you of this? Because the church has been preaching some stuff that they are not supposed to be preaching. They've been preaching Calvary. I know that Calvary sounds good, Calvary is important, Calvary is critical, Calvary is necessary but it is not the good news. The good news is the kingdom of The Most High Yah. Calvary is a means to an end. Calvary is The Most High Yah's program to get us to the good news. The good news is that the kingdom of heaven has returned to earth and you can become a part of it again. The church has been preaching all kinds of interesting things that sound good but it's not been fulfilling what The Most High Yah intended. Let me take you to the Great Commission. Let's see what it says. Matthew 28 verse 18 is a great Commission. Here is the Commission he gave to us. We call it the Great Commission. The last words of Yahusha instructing his disciples in Matthew 28:18, he says what? Then Yahusha came to them and said all authority in heaven and earth has been given unto me, therefore you go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in my name, the Father, Son and Ruach HaQadesh. Then he says and teach them what? To obey everything that I have commanded you or taught you. In other words, you teach what I taught. What did he teach? Well if you read the four Gospels he had one message. Yahusha never preached on prosperity, he never preached on tongues, he never preached on the baptism of the Ruach HaQadesh as his message to the public. He never preached on Calvary, he never preached really on the things that we've been preaching. He never preached on the things that we've been focusing on as doctrine. He preached the kingdom of The Most High Yah, the kingdom of heaven and on every page he keeps repeating himself in a thousand different parables, I have come to preach the kingdom of heaven has arrived. He only told Calvary to his private disciples in secret. He spoke about his blood and his death to his private group, the disciples. He never taught the public about those things because the message that the public is looking for is not blood and cross. They're looking for Dominion again, control over life. That's what man wants and that's what the kingdom of The Most High Yah is all about. Your number-one problem right now is that you don't control your circumstances. Am i right? Yes! You can’t control your house, the bank owns it. You don't control your car, the bank owns that. You don't control your body, the doctors own that. You don't control even your teeth, the dentist owns that. Your problem is you have no control over your environment. You don't control your job, you can get fired in the morning. It seems as if your whole life has been victimized by the world. That's why Hamachiach came back to tell us the good news. What's the good news? You can control your life again, you can control circumstances, you can do what Adam was supposed to do. What is that? To have dominion over fish and birds and cattle and the ground and the earth on the entire environment that's what The Most High Yah intended for us. My frustration in all my life is the things I can't control. You get a head cold, you take everything and it's still there. You can't control it. So you're mad at the fever that won't go away. Yahusha came to take care of that. Matter of fact, that's why Hamachiach never taught about healing. He just healed. When did he heal? It says he healed them after he preached the kingdom to them. The kingdom brings with it the healing that you need so healing is really not an objective it's a by-product of the kingdom experience in your life. Healing is simply taking dominion over sickness. Hamachiach says that the poor need the kingdom preached to them, which means the poor don't need money. The poor need a revelation of Dominion. Take charge of your environment. Prosperity is a byproduct of the kingdom life. Let's take a look at the purpose for kingdom citizens. I'm going to go to this part very fast. I want you to follow me. kingdom citizens are to be The Most High Yah's agency on earth. This is important to remember. Number two, kingdom citizens exist not for heaven but for the nation. Kingdom citizens exist not for heaven but for the nation. Number three, We as kingdom citizens are not to establish a religion but a governing influence in the nation. I'm giving you the original purpose for the us as Yah’s people. We are The Most High Yah's agency on earth. I like the word agency because it is an organism through which The Most High Yah wants to administrate from heaven on earth. He wants to do it through us. I'm not talking about an organization. I'm not talking about the Baptist. I'm talking about us as Yah’s children. Number four we are to be the training program for reigning. We were Kings over the earth in Genesis 1 and 2 and we fell from reigning and now we become slaves for over 6,000 years. If you've been under oppression for 6,000 years it takes a while to get your mentality back. So our job is to retrain others to think like a king again. So we as kingdom citizens are The Most High Yah's program of training for reigning. Number five, we are designed to to lead in our area of gifting. You are to take charge of your area of expertise for which The Most High Yah gave you. Every human, 6.7 billion of us were born with a gift. Some of us were born with a few of them, but everyone is carrying something and that gift is the area of your domain. Kingdom Citizens are an important part of The Most High Yah's program. Let's see if this is true. Look at Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 it says it was he Yahusha who gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Why? Look at the next verse. He gave you apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers verse 12 says, to prepare or to train The Most High Yah's people for the work of ministry, so that the body of Hamachiach might be built up, Built up means to be matured, until they all come to the unity of the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of The Most High Yah and become mature attaining to the whole measure of the full image of Hamachiach. You were made in whose image? In The Most High Yah's image. Apparently The Most High Yah knows you don't look like that at the moment. That image is in you but it's smothered by your oppressive spirit, under sin and even though you're born again there's layers of garbage over that image. The job of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher is to keep peeling away all the corrupt thinking, small thinking, low self-esteem, low self-concept, poor self estimation, to get rid all that slave thinking, to reveal once again the real you, which is the image of The Most High Yah. You don't need to go to heaven to act like heaven. Yahusha looked like heaven under Roman domination. He was in charge even though he was under the oppression of the Roman Empire. He was born under colonization, he was born under slavery, but yet he never was under the circumstances. He was always in charge of his circumstances. Even in charge of storms and water and trees obeyed his words. He's so powerful he spoke to fish and they came into the net. In other words, he was never oppressed even though he was under oppression. That's the same way The Most High Yah wants you to become. He wants you to become the image of The Most High Yah right in your job. He wants you to look and act just like The Most High Yah, in the earth now, not later. The job of all of us is to prepare for our works of service, to train to discover service ministry and to get in that ministry. Now please notice something important in this verse. Where is heaven in the verse? Heaven does not exist in the verse. Why did The Most High Yah give you a pastor? See the pastor on the list? Why did The Most High Yah give you an Apostle, Evangelist? The Evangelist job is not to get you to heaven. The pastor's job is not to train you to go to heaven. The objective of the apostle and prophet and evangelist and pastor, my work is not to get you in heaven but to keep you on earth, serving your gift. If that gift is media, if it's carpentry, if it's banking, if it's investment, if it's building a ministry or building a restaurant or owning a hotel or becoming an investor. Whatever it is, that's your gift. My job is to help you find that gift and flourish in that gift until it looks like Yahusha is doing it. One thing with Yahusha, he never fails. You will succeed in your gift. If it is a teacher, if it's a doctor, a dentist, a carpenter or fisherman. If you are gifted in that area, my job is to help you find that gift, refine that gift, develop that gift, maximize that gift and bless the earth with that gift. Heaven is not The Most High Yah's goal for you, earth is his goal for you. To train the saints for the work of the ministry. Look at this next one here. The role of Kingdom citizens in the world. I think this is very important to correct. Acts 1:7 says this, but you shall receive power when the Ruach HaQadesh comes upon you, Yahusha is speaking, and you will be witnesses unto me or of me, first in Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria in the uttermost parts of the ends of the earth. Please underline the words, “you'll be my witness.” Witness doesn't mean testimony. Let me just correct that. Witness doesn't mean handing out tracks. The church has really done a job on these words. The word witness that Yahusha used is the same word that is used in a courtroom when somebody's on trial. When you want to test if somebody is telling the truth, you bring witnesses to prove that. Hello! That's the word Yahusha uses. It was a legal word. He says look, I will give you the power. You see the power the Ruach HaQadesh is not for you to fall out. It's for you to go to work on Monday, and do some stuff they can't believe. That is what the power is for. The powers are for you to walk into a situation where everybody is in chaos, and when you arrived you said let me fix it. The power he's talking about is where you walk into a boardroom and they are trying to solve a problem and as soon as you come, you say I got the answer and you blow their minds. The power is for you when you are a doctor and you walk into the medical environment and there's some case that they can’t solve and they don't know what to do and they are trying to use their expertise and you say listen, let me just pray for the person and The Most High Yah heals them. The power is to show that the kingdom is in the operating room through a doctor who also knows medicine. That is what the power is for. The power is for a teacher who walks into a classroom of misfits, where they say this is the worst class in the whole school, and you say give them to me. You walk in there with the power of the Ruach HaQadesh and you bring order and peace to those kids and they become the best class in the school. It blows everybody's mind. Why? You have a power that they don't have access to. That's what it means by the witness, which is the somebody who comes on the stand to prove someone else's words. Hamachiach says the kingdom of The Most High Yah is here and he said I'm going to give you power to prove it to the world. That is why your success is important to The Most High Yah. The Most High Yah needs you to succeed this week to show his kingdom is present. Everything you touch this week because you are here today and you heard this word, I prophesy everything you touch this week, every problem, every situation, every decision you have to make will be correct and it will prosper because The Most High Yah needs you to succeed. You belong to a kingdom that cannot fail. It is in The Most High Yah's best interest for you to succeed. Give Him praise!!!
