Understanding Your Original Kingdom Mandate
The Ruach Ha Kodoesh said to me that 5783 is the year of kingdom influence!!! Everybody say, influence. This is in my heart like a loaded gun. This is the year that is calling for less talk and more action!! This is the year of no more pretending to be in the kingdom, but demonstrating the kingdom!! So here's what I want you to focus on today, write this down--how to become an influence. I am speaking from authority today. I know exactly what I'm talking about, so listen to me--how do you become an influence? We want to focus today on understanding the secret to influencing your world.
People don't know that I was born 6th in line of twelve children to my mother in Queens, NY. Then later moved to Biloxi, Mississippi at the age of 12. Growing up, I never thought that one day what I would be charged with teaching the lost tribes of Israel!
How do you become an influence??? How do you rise up from simple beginnings?? Sometimes you would think, oh you are not a special person! That's not true. I believe there is, what I call a divine decree, every human being was created by the Most High to be an influence on earth! Every human being, while most of them died and never influenced their neighborhood!
The second decree of influence, simply means to dominate in life. Anyone who has influence is simply a person who is dominating an environment that they are in. They have this force that comes with their life, that makes people listen to them or make people respect them or make people believe them. All of us are influenced by somebody, in other words those persons
have dominion. Whoever dominates an area of life will have influence on planet Earth.
If you look at all the influential people, I'm not talking about just the famous, because some of them are not influential, they are just famous. Don't confuse fame with influence!! Fame is like a flame, it goes out. Influence is what lasts even after you're dead. Case in point, how does the influence of someone like Paris Hilton compare to the far reaching influence of Dr. Martin Luther King? There are some things that we may be called to do that are a far reaching influence of not just a nation but across the whole world!!! Now that means that your life has so much dominion that even death can destroy it! This great man, Martin Luther King has streets named for him all throughout the country!
Listen to me please--you are not too old to be an influence! You were placed in time to influence your generation that's why the Most High took you out of eternity and put you in a body. Because He wanted earth to be influenced by you and we confuse--influence with popularity! Not everyone who is popular, will be influential. As a matter of fact the word popular is from the root word population. Which means that the population likes you for a while and then they'll crucify you later! Influential people are not necessarily popular, they are impactful! Yahusha HaMaschiach was not popular, but we can't get rid of Him! He was influential!! I put it to you, then we have to learn what is influence?
Here is a statement made by Yahusah HaMaschiach concerning you and me, who are in the kingdom, concerning influence, He said these words: Matthew 13 verse 33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
He told them the parable, the kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman put in a large amount of dough and it worked its way into the dough until all of the lump was full of yeast. This
statement is about influence. The Most High sent you to earth to be an influence. Just like yeast influences the dough--you are not born just to exist! You were born to make a difference and born to make an impact. And I am convinced that the Most High does not want to wait for people just treading water!! The Most High is saying, I want you to be an impact and influence in the earth! The Most High put you in time--so that you could make this influence!! Every time a year begins to change, everybody begins to think of this concept of time. There are a few things about time I like to say, because the passing of a year is the marking of time. Time is defined as an interruption in eternity. Now the Most High doesn't live in time, but He put us in it. And the Most High put us in time, because it is very difficult to live in eternity! I thank the Most High, I live in time! Let me tell you why. Because whatever is in eternity--lasts forever! So if you ever had a headache in eternity? How about an eternity with a divorce? Does the pain last forever?? Thank the Most High, that marriage is only for Earth.
Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Yahusha said that in the afterlife there's neither marriage nor giving in marriage.
The Most High lives in eternity, and eternity is time without measure and therefore we were placed in time, for a purpose, to fulfill purpose!! And that purpose is to give meaning to our lives! We were sent here to make an impact, to make a difference. I didn't realize that until I began to study the Bible as this is where I discovered something. You were born to influence time and you don't need to live long to influence the planet!!
Think about the oldest man that ever lived, his name was Methuselah. The Bible says: Genesis 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Yahusha lived to be thirty three and a half years old and then He died. We can't remember Methuselah but we can't forget Yahusha! Age therefore it's not a measure of impact! The Most High gave us time so we can live life in what I call phases. The Most High gave you a year at a time, a month at a time, a week at a time and a day at a time. So you can live life in doses. I love the way the psalmist David said Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the Most High hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Take a look at that, Fiveamprayer, David says, this is the day not the month--the day the Most High has made I will rejoice in it! The day, what have you done with your last 10 days that have moved you forward in your purpose? How did you spend your time in the last 24 hours?? And how did that contribute to your progress of your passion and your dream? He gives us life, in phases. Purpose is placed in phases because you would never give birth to attach yourself to a phase. Let me tell you something--I thank The Most High for years. because you can now look back and say someone died 10 years ago. Or I had a failure in this area five years ago. Thank The Most High for years!! Years push things back! Years deliver you from the memory and the pain of things! Thank The Most High for time! Please don't be attached to phases!
Never let a phase define you!! You know right now you're single you ain't married. Well that's only your current phase! Don't get attached to that! And when you get married, you have to shift from that single phase to the married phase. Now you can’t go over to a friends house, anymore, like you used to!! Just go over there anytime you feel like it!! Not any more!! Now you can’t fast for a week because now you gotta cook for your spouse or eat with your spouse. You gotta be able to be free from phases! The Most High has given you a new year to set you free from the old year! Each phase prepares you for the succeeding phase! Every year that The Most High gives us was supposed to be preparation--for the next one. The problem is if you didn't know what you were supposed to do in the year that you had--then you are going into the next one unprepared or ill-prepared!!! That's why The Most High gave you the capacity to think and to plan. I put it to you that you must enjoy your phase, but never become your phase! Some of you got a good job, now let me tell you something--you don’t know what could happen to that company in 5783!! So don't get attached to your job nor your title and if you find your value in your title you are in trouble!! Live with your phases loosely. I am so conscious of my phases. Write this down, your phases are still ahead of you-- he best ones, okay? So you might have lost your business that's no problem, there are probably some greater businesses ahead of you. Maybe you lost some clients, no problem there's some clients on the way in 5783 that can triple your income!! Don't ever allow the past's phases to interfere with the future phases!!
I can't wait to meet the people I'm supposed to meet in 5783 and some of them are coming loaded! But I got to be prepared with the vision for them to pay for it. There's a part that everyone must play in life! Write this down, no phase is forever say it, out loud again--no phase is forever! Some of you are having a good time, right? You had a good 5782.
I'll never forget some advice that was given to me, expect the best and prepare for the worse. That means have a good attitude, but don't be stupid. Whatever you going through right now I guarantee will not last--that includes the bad times and the good times. There's a time when your business is up and everybody is happy--profits and then it feels like every demonic attack is headed towards your business and you're going into the new year behind the 8 ball. Now you are thinking, Most High should I fold up or hang in there? There is going to be a change in the next phase that's going to triple your income compared to what you had in 5782! This is just a phase. Some of your marriages went through hell and some of them are still hanging on by a thread. The Most High said don't get a divorce!! The phase is going to change! She is going to catch herself in April! He’s going to get himself back on track in June! Don't leave him yet, I'm going to make him a teacher of the Torah! Don't be attached to phases!!
I have come to understand that everything is just a season Oh, please remember this as long as you live!!!! Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
How many things got a season? This is very serious, that means if you've got a lot of money-- that's a season. So what you're doing to get a lot of money is you give a lot and plant alot of seeds. So that when your lean times comes--you got a harvest to come in from somewhere. Be generous in your hard times and in your good times so you could survive the drought of life.
Everything comes in a season--relationships go through seasons, everything! Your job is doing good right now, in 5782 was a good time on your job. Everybody was getting promoted, you were happy, and praised The Most High! Wait until 5783 another season there is a demonic force on your job. You still gotta show up and you got to handle the season. What I love about that verse is that nothing lasts, that's hope! Praise The Most High! So right now you got a mortgage that's a season. There's going to be a time and you're going to be able to burn that note and run around the whole block shouting free at last, free at last!!
So phases, Ecclesiastes 3:10 (NIV) I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. It says, I have seen the burden The Most High placed on man. What's his burden? He makes everything perfect in its time. There's a time for you to mature in every area and the timing is set by The Most High, it says he also has placed in the heart of man eternity and yet they cannot fathom or understand what The Most High has done from the beginning to the end! We live in a continuum of time and don't understand the phases. I want to recommend something to you. What's your past?? It's dangerous--you are about to say goodbye to a past, please let it go! The past is a portion of your future, it is not your future! I will put it another way, the past is dead except for the life you give it! You can keep resurrecting 5782 and not let it die! People who hurt you, things that didn't work out. Or goals that you didn't achieve places that you didn't go to. Even people who didn't treat you right. The Most High doesn't want you to take that into what awaits you in this new year! Your past is as alive, as the life you give it. I put it another way you cannot go to your future, if you live in their past. Therefore you cannot change the past but you could plan your future. This is the moment in time when most people are thinking about what am I going to do?
The future gives hope to the past and that's why I only used the past for educational reference; it is never my habitation. Everybody makes mistakes, everybody fails. Everybody falls, everybody doesn't seem to achieve everything, but you don't live in that.
Learn how to let the past go, because the past can become a weight. Philippians 3:12-13 (KJV) Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of HaMashiach Yahusha. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, brothers I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it but one thing I do, Paul the Apostle says, I forget the past….
Forgetting puts the past behind us, while we are straining toward what's ahead of me I press toward the goal to win the prize for which The Most High has called me heavenward in HaMashiach you have not done everything you want to do, yet and maybe there's some memories you would love to forget. Well forget them and move on and achieve greatness. There are some people you need to forget, I'm going to say this again because somebody needs to hear this! There are some people you need to forget and leave them in 5782 and go on your own. Learn some new people, I trust your heart will hear this, I call it the power of your future! Your future is not ahead of you, it's trapped within you! And this is why your future has very little to do with other people in the sense that you don't get your future from them.
