You belong to a kingdom that cannot fail. It is in The Most High Yah's best interest for you to succeed. You make The Most High Yah look good. Matter of fact, he makes himself look good when he makes sure you succeed. The kingdom comes to make you a witness. Look at this, it blew my mind. At the completion of his mission, Yahusha established his program of global restoration for the whole world. Matter of fact, Yahusha provided His redemptive work to restore mankind back to The Most High Yah's original purpose. Then he called us to complete the job. He left the world in the hands of his children, not in the hands of politicians. When Yahusha left the earth these were his final words, all authority is given unto me in heaven, in earth and under the earth, therefore you go and disciple the nation's. The word disciple means student. The Greek word is learner. He says you go and make the entire world your classroom and every citizen in that nation your student. Now that's a deep assignment. So when The Most High Yah gives you a job that's not just a job. He sent you there to turn that whole place into a classroom and you are the teacher. If you are a secretary, that whole typing pool is your classroom and The Most High Yah sent you there to teach them the things he taught you and to show them the kingdom power in that department. This is practical. The kingdom of The Most High Yah is in you and it shall be in them if you do your job properly. So the kingdom of The Most High Yah was given to us to infiltrate every area of life. So we as Kingdom citizens are the ones responsible for the nation. I'm going to say something really heavy here. The state of your nation is determined by the state of Yah's people. Now I'm going to ask you a question. It is a very incriminating question. If there are so many believers in your country, why is there so much violence, crime, sin, gangs, warfare, drugs, prostitution, killing, domestic violence and corruption? Sometimes it seems that the countries that have the most “Christians” have the most problems. The Most High says my Kingdom citizens aren’t doing their job. The only thing that can save the city is a salvation from The Most High Yah. Something's wrong somewhere. Well here's what's wrong. No one is preaching the kingdom. They have a religion in a little place within some stained glass, lighting candles, singing to each other, beating the tambourine, shouting for five hours and then going home to a community that’s going to hell because they aren’t making an impact. The presence of a church building or community is not the presence of the kingdom. Yahusha met a thief one time, the guy was a public thief, corrupt guy. He stole from everybody and everybody knew it and the whole community hated the guy. Yahusha came into that village and they told him about this guy. When he came in the guy was up in a tree. He wanted to at least see Yahusha. But watch the kingdom go to work. Yahusha looked up, he said Zacchaeus today I will come to your house and eat with you. Zacchaeus fell out of the tree. Now let me explain to you what he said. You cannot understand what he said unless you understand the culture of those people. Whenever you eat with someone you become one with their house. That's the culture. Whenever you eat a man's bread you become eternally coveted by that man, and when you walk into a man's house he becomes totally responsible for you. Matter of fact, every door in the culture of the Old Testament had a piece of wood called the thresh. The thresh was the barrier where you kept people out who you didn't want to become one with you. The thresh is an important piece of wood because the minute someone crossed the thresh, the host of the house becomes responsible for you. They have to feed you, clothe you, protect you, warm you up if you’re cold, cool you down if you're hot, they have to give you water, give you drink, they can take care of you. They have to pay all of your bills as long as you are there. That's why you don’t invite many people into your house unless you want to become one with them. Secondly when you ate at a man's table you became one with him because food, bread represents sweat and blood. That's why you're not supposed to share your food with everybody. They say you become one with them. So when Hamachiach said to Zacchaeus I want to come over your thresh and I want to enter your domain and eat with you, Zacchaeus fell out of that tree. I'm sure he dropped out because when you read the rest of the story, the next statement says, and the Pharisees said unto themselves, does he know who he is? He is eating with a thief. But that was a kingdom at work. The kingdom came into the man's environment and blew his mind. He couldn't believe that the most popular rabbi, the most effective minister of the day could come into his house and become one with him and eat his bread. That means the guy had to change. Zacchaeus walked away from there, no longer a thief. The Bible says he took all the money he had hidden under the mattress, took all the food he had and he went to the streets and gave it all out to everybody. See the kingdom had changed a thief into a giver. That's what we as Kingdom citizens are supposed to be about.
