Understanding The Mandate of Yahusha


This morning we are looking at the Mandate of Yahusha HaMashiach. What was his message and what was his mandate? What did he come to accomplish? Yahusha HaMashiach is the most misunderstood man on earth. He is mostly misunderstood by the people who represent him on earth. The Buddhists call him a wise teacher, the Hindus say he's another one of their six million gods, the Muslims say he was a good prophet, he's even in the Quran. The agnostics say that he didn't rise from the dead. The atheists say that he was a fake, probably never existed, he was created into a god by his followers 2,000 years ago. These Christians are probably the greatest misrepresentative of Yahusha HaMashiach! It is my conviction after my short life on earth so far--that Christians have misunderstood Yahusha the most!!!! The Jews believed that he was a misguided rabbi who claimed to be the Messiah. The majority of them haven’t accepted him. So we're stuck with this man that everyone seems to misunderstand. Now when you misunderstand somebody, you should go and talk to them personally. Let them talk to you and tell you what they think. That’s what I have done. The average human came to a conclusion about Yahusha without talking to him or listening to him personally. They either heard about him through someone else's perception, testimony, theology, opinion and they walked away with their conclusions based on third and fourth hand information. What I did from my frustration, trying to figure out life, I decided to talk to him and study him and listen to him myself. What I'm going to share with you is going to be very important for you because I know you too have been concerned about what you believe and whether it is true. Everyone is grappling with what is truth? First let me begin by talking a little bit, about the human condition. This is very relevant right now to the times we live in. First of all the kingdoms of this world, that means every country, every government, are all helpless! It's amazing that as powerful as the United States is, it cannot control oil prices, it cannot stop crime, it cannot destroy terrorism. Helpless nations! Another issue that we're living with is called globalization. Globalization makes us all interdependent and that is a problem. For example, America is now borrowing money from a communist country, while America is against communism. Because of globalization we are interdependent. Interdependent means even though I don't agree with your ideology, I need your money. Interdependent means whatever happens in one place affects every place. That's where you're living now, that's where I'm living now. We are living in a world of globalization. Thirdly, governments are helpless because no matter what kind of government we have, all of them aren't able to solve their social, economic, and educational problems. The economists are helpless because we cannot fix our economies. Educators are helpless--the reading scores of our children graduating from school is so low that we are ashamed of them. When our kids graduate from school we compare their grades with others in the other nations, we are wondering what is the education system doing? We seem to be helpless to fix it. It's the world we live in. Then we have the media and they only report the conditions that we are helpless with. They tell us how failed we are in our attempts to govern ourselves. Then we live in a world where the fear of recession is making us victims of the circumstances. The questions that we are dealing with now, I heard a report in a board meeting just this week where churches are now shutting down because people are losing their jobs and cannot pay tithes and so therefore the church cannot pay the mortgage for the building and so the church has to be put up for sale. That's what you call recession. The economy is contracting and is affecting the whole world. What do you do when you are a victim of an environment that you have no control over? That's a reality some of you could lose your job in the next few months, The Most High forbid, but that's possible. Some of you may have already lost it and you're sitting here looking for help wanting, The Most High to give you a word. Some businesses are downsizing, some of them are going to lay people off for a while, because when a recession comes, everyone runs for cover. People stop spending, people stop giving. What do you do in a world like that? You need the Kingdom message! In the midst of that we all seek what? A new government. That's why the presidential race in this country is so hot, because we are all hoping that somebody will take us out of this stuff and and everybody is fighting for their own candidate and every country is doing the same thing. Everyone of us, in every country, spending billions of dollars on government processing hoping to get better government every time. Because we seek new government. It is a search for a better world. That's what people want. Is that what you want? Yes. 6.7 billion people on earth today are looking for a better world. We want a better country, a better community. You want better societies, we want better education, better children in our communities. You want to get rid of gangs, poverty, incest, rape, abuse, broken homes, broken marriages and torn apart families. You want to get rid of all the mess in politics, in the church both corruption and failure. We want a better way. We're looking for a better world. So we run to religion, and religion is now the number one problem. Terrorism is motivated by religion. Most of the conflicts in the world are based on religious conflicts. So religion doesn't seem to be our answer. The most frightening truth about this all, is that we have what we call, a culture clash going on. Culture clash is when people who never used to be close to each other are now close to each other. So now you're learning to live with a Chinese and an African and a Haitian and a Mexican. You have to learn to live with people you never had contact with 20 years ago. They come to your neighborhood, they come to your church--it may have been where your church used to be white, now it's mixed with black and brown people. Your church used to be black, now it's mixed with white people and Asian people. And you are still singing those black gospel songs because you don't understand that there's a clash going on. Culture clash. What do you do about that? Dr. Munroe says, I remember in one of my books called the Seasons To Change, I wrote a statement that is so powerful. The founder of AT&T, said when the pace of change, outside of an organization is faster than the pace of change inside the organization, death is near. In other words, when the community around you is changing faster than your church programs, your church is dying. You've got to be able to handle the cultures. The world has changed. Culture is stronger than politics. Culture is more powerful than religion. This is why culture supersedes all forms of government law. This is why you have what they call a Chinatown in America. They are Americans but their culture is so strong it is called Chinatown. When you go in there you think you walked into China, because the culture is stronger than the politics of America. You cannot go to Chinatown and ask for a hotdog because the culture is stronger than the politics. What do you do in a world like this? Well here's what we focus on. All men believe that government is the answer. That's why we keep changing governments. I'm leading up to something, stay with me for a few minutes. It won't be long, but I want you to get this. We believe that government is the answer, and that's why we spend so much money on government. Look how many millions of dollars are being spent by those who are pursuing government? Millions of dollars and every country does it. Why is choosing government such a major issue, if not the most major issue in every country?? Somehow humanity believes that if we can just get the right government, all these problems will go away. Well here's a shock, The Most High looks down from his lofty place in heaven, he looks at our earth and here's a surprise. The Most High believes that government is also the answer to mankind's problems. The Most High believes that too, and that's the message!! Man is searching for good government. That's why you vote, that's why you believe in democracy. That's why there's socialism, communism and and all the other forms of government. Everyone believes that if you can just get the right government we'll have the right country. Then our governments keep disappointing us. So we keep voting again. But The Most High also believes that government is the answer to man's problems. Because government has to do with control. I’ll say that again--government gives you control over territory, over circumstances, over people, over resources. That's why people want government. Government deals with controlling the earth. The battle for earth is the battle for culture. Whoever is in government, affects the culture. Because whoever can control the laws, create culture. Culture is a product of what we call norms. A norm is an accepted form of behavior that is based on what is allowed in a society, which is what we call law. If you want to change your culture, change the law. The law will eventually produce a culture. This is why those who want to control culture will go after changing legislation. Washington D.C. is the most powerful city in the world and it is a city that does nothing but law. Why? Whoever controls law controls--culture. If you want to change the culture of a place, you got to change the law. This is why many groups in your country are not interested in what you are preaching. They go in after changing the law. If they can get the law changed, they don’t have to worry about your preaching, the culture will follow later. That's why--government is so important. Government creates culture. Culture is the manifestation of the collective thinking of a people. There's black culture in America, there's European culture in America, there's Asian culture in America, there's Latin culture in America, there's Italian culture in America, there is Germanic culture in America. There are a lot of cultures in this country and those cultures are a manifestation of a group of people who think alike. It is their collective thinking and culture, is more powerful than politics! Whoever controls the minds of a community, will create the culture! Whoever controls the minds of the people, will control the culture, they'll create the culture. And that's why you better hear me carefully, everyone is after your mind! I am gonna say that again! Everyone is after your mind!! Everybody is!! That's why there is so much on the television, the radio, the CD player and the Internet. Everyone's after your mind. That's why you have the speakers and all of the people talking in the Senate and in the Congress. Everyone is talking because words attack your mind, pictures attack your mind, sounds attack your mind. We got to get your mind! If I can get your mind I can create your culture. A man thinks, and the way he thinks in his heart, so is he. So therefore what is the heart? The heart is the mind. The word heart in the Bible has nothing to do with your chest. This is where a lot of religious people get into problems. When we say come into my heart, we pointed to our chest. Yahusha, come into my heart! HaSatan loves that. That's why he loves altar calls. He loves it. Why? You get Yahusha right into your chest. He can’t enter your chest!!! As a man thinketh, in his subconscious so is he. HaMashiach wants to possess your mind. Put on the mind of HaMashiach, not the chest of HaMashiach!! HaMashiach never says that that he would come into your chest and make free. He said you shall know the truth. Know means you get information, knowledge about the truth. When you get it, it'll set you free from lies. You will change your thinking, change your behavior, which will change your culture and change your lifestyle!! That's why mama teaches--she teaches to get you to think. This is why the HaSatan loves emotional people. Because emotional people never grow. They don't change. You are transformed, how? By the renewing of your chest. Oh sorry! Your mind. That's how you are changed!! The heart is the mind. The kingdom of The Most High, is a kingdom of the heart. It is manifested in culture, not in religious activity. This is where we miss Yahusha. Yahusha HaMashiach never came to earth to make you behave religiously. Yahusha never made an alter call. Never! Let me say it again in case you thought I made a mistake. Yahusha never made an alter call. Never will you find it in Scripture. He taught thousands and never made an alter call. Why? Because that doesn't make you a changed person. He said things like this. Let those who have ears, to hear. Let them hear. Then he would leave and take the boat and go on the other side. He was after what? Their minds. If I can change your mind, he says, then conversion has taken place. That's why folks at the altar are still going back and sinning. The mind hasn't changed. They have not got a revelation of truth yet and so they keep practicing their old habits, they are stuck in an old culture. The kingdom of The Most High is manifested, not in a religion, but in a culture. I'm here to change your mind. The Ruach HaQadesh said to me, who is the governor of the kingdom, he said tell wherever you go, tell the whole world, my 21st century mission is kingdom influence to culture. I'm going to bring the kingdom culture back to earth he says and it will influence every area of humanity. That's what The Most High wants. He doesn't want isolation, he wants infiltration. He doesn't want you to leave earth. He wants to go into all the world, with the kingdom of heaven influence!!! Religions abandon earth. The Muslims want to go to Paradise, the Christians want to go to heaven, the Hindus want to go to another consciousness or they come back and be reincarnated, the Buddhists want to go to subliminal thinking. They all want to go somewhere. HaMashiach says no, go into all the world. Stay here and make a difference. That's a different word altogether, see? But we've been trained to leave--not to influence. This is the assignment. The Most High's original goal is simple, to transform society through Kingdom culture. The Most High never wants to compete with Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius. Don't put him in the same class as no prophet!!! Yahusha HaMashiach was not a prophet. I am going to say that again, Yahusha HaMashiach was not a prophet. If he was a prophet he's in the class with everybody else. You remember this question? He said to them, who do men say that I am? That's a 2000 year old question and you haven't answered it yet! Who do men say that I am? They say, some say you are a prophet. I told you he wasn't one. Some say you are Elijah come back from the dead. Some say you are John The Baptist. They said all these things. Then he says now who do YOU say I am? Because I don't agree with none of those titles. Because a Prophet cannot have a kingdom, only Kings have kingdoms. Peter says thou are the HaMashiach. HaMashiach means anointed king. Son of the living Most High. I'm gonna build my government on the statement that I am the Messiah, a King. He was not tried because he was a prophet. Read the Bible again, stop reading other people's comments!!! Pilate says, “are you a king?” HaMashiach says, “for this reason was I born, yes I am a king and I have a kingdom.” Pilate says, “I find no fault in this man”, to with the Pharisees and scribes. This guy is in a different class altogether. He's not claiming to be no preacher or Pope. He ain't claiming to be no prophet. This guy is above that. He claimed to have a government. So what should be our mission? Here is our mission--earthly influence through heavenly kingdom culture! That's why The Most High sent you here on earth. He sent you on earth, to produce earthly influence through heavenly culture. In other words, he wanted heaven to affect the earth through your culture. Which means you are supposed to possess heavens culture. You cannot develop culture unless you are in it. This is why a white man can't play “black” and a black man can't play “white” because you gotta be brought up in this thing. Matter of fact the word culture means to grow, you grow in something. Culture is something that you have to grow by association with something, which means you cannot represent the culture of heaven if you ain't related to heaven. If you ain't hanging out with The Most High, you can't represent The Most High!!! Write this down please. I call it the process of Kingdom influence. How are we going to influence the word with Kingdom culture? The first word is a word that Christians don't like. That's why I'm not a Christian anymore. It's the word engagement. You cannot influence something you don't engage. You have to engage society, engage the system. You have to engage the environment if you're going to influence it. We've been taught to avoid the environment, stay away from it, back away from and hide from it. We are supposed to engage it. You cannot affect what you avoid!! So stop praying for a Christian job. Like salt is useless in the salt shaker. We have to engage the world. Number two, we have to confront the world. I'm not talking about violence, killing people, that's not confrontation--that's murder. Confronting means that we allow our culture to confront the culture of the world. You cannot change what you don't confront. As a matter of fact, write this down and remember this. Whatever you tolerate you will never change!! HaMashiach was always confronting the Roman Empire and the culture of the Judaism that was around him and the religion, why? His culture kept clashing with it. HaMashiach never killed anyone in his life. As a matter of fact he was killed. One time his disciples, who could be considered to be the first terrorists on earth, Bin Ladin is a joke to disciples of Yahusha. These guys were worse than Bin Ladin. They told Yahusha there are some people down the street who are not worshipping like us. Remember James and John? They said Yahusha call now fire and burn them up. Man, that's terrorism and that's in your Bible, Luke 9:49-56. Yahusha turned to them in shock and asked them, from where did you get this spirit? In other words, this didn't come from me. You got this from your synagogue, where you got racism and segregation in the synagogues. He says you hate people who aren’t like you. He was separating himself from the synagogue in that moment. He said I didn't come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Even if they don't worship like me, he says I have sheep that are not of the fold, they're different but they're still mine. So he confronted the culture. Another word write this down. If you're gonna bring influence, you have to infiltrate. You know you can never salt a piece of beef unless you get the salt on the beef! If you are salt of the earth, you gotta get in the earth! You have to go in there, go into business, go into law, go into music, go into education, go into politics. He says he wants you to go in there. Stop looking for a safe place. Look for a place where you can confront and make a difference. That's Kingdom life right there, infiltration. Matter of fact it says for The Most High so loved the world he stood on Heaven's porch and looked down and shook his head and said poor things. No he didn't. If you love people in the world, you will leave your safe place and going to all the world. He came to the world to save sinners. He was the only righteous one when he arrived. That's a piece of salt on a big piece of beef. The world infiltrate means you move in and they didn't even know you're moving in. If you want to influence the world, that's where it is, integration. you have to integrate yourself in the system to change it. What do religious people do, like Christians? They attack the system, by criticism, not infiltration. You cannot change what you avoid. You have to integrate yourself in the system. He who is The Most High made himself man. That's integration. He who is holy came among those who were unholy, he integrated. The Most High took on the form of a man, put on a body like us, that's integration. He didn't come to observe. He came to impact. The last one is a very critical. strategic impact--this is planned, calculated deliberate impact!! If you're going to influence the world in the next 50- 60 years, the Church has to change it’s complete attitude and develop strategic strategies to impact the environment for the kingdom of The Most High. That means we need wisdom and new programs and new ideas. Let me tell you something, the programs that build this church will not be the programs that keep it. Because everything has changed. You gotta now look at everything you did and throw the jawbone of a donkey, that aren’t working, like Samson did. You know it once worked, but it is not working anymore. Throw it away. Why? you have to have strategic impact. The kingdom of The Most High is not static, it's dynamic. It's a country, it's not a religion! Let me give you some Kingdom concepts to remember. First of all, the message of the Bible was not about religion. The Bible is about a king and a kingdom, and the King’s kids. This book is about a king, a kingdom, and a royal family. And that is why every human being is seeking for the kingdom. All religious are man's attempts to find the kingdom! Every human being on earth is looking for the kingdom, all of us 6.7 billion people on the earth today are seeking for the kingdom of The Most High, they just don't know what it is they're seeking for!! And so they create these religions to try and find it. Religions is man's hunger for something that he lost, and yet man never lost a religion!! That's why the mission of Yahusha HaMashiach was not a religious message--it was a kingdom message. Let me ask you a question. If I see you taking tylenol, what should I assume? That you got a headache or some kind of pain. In other words, I can tell what's wrong with you, based on what the medication you were taking. If I see you're taking insulin, what can I assume? That you have got diabetes. In other words, you ain't gotta tell me. If I just see what you're taking, I can assume what's wrong with you. Well HaMashiach came to give us the medicine that we needed. He gave us a kingdom which means we must be lacking rulership. He didn't bring you a religion, he brought you a kingdom!! That means you are lacking government authority!! Show me the medication, I'll show you the sickness! If you want to know what's wrong with man, study with Yahusha bought. All true kingdoms contain the same components and characteristics. That means when we have the word Kingdom they all contain the same qualities. A kingdom is Kingdom in any culture. So when Yahusha says he brought a kingdom, he was bringing what all kingdoms have. All kingdoms have a king, they all have territory, they all have a constitution, they all have laws!! They all have in the kingdom what they call benefits or favors, they all have customs, they all have values, they all have moral status, they all have an army. In other words all kingdoms have different components that are the same. And the kingdom of The Most High has the same thing. All kingdoms are manifested through the influence of its culture. This is very important. If a kingdom is in a place it will show up by the culture that's present!! So I could tell where you are from, by the way you act, live and dress. So if you go to downtown Washington D.C. and you can stand on the street for 20 minutes and you'll see 50 nations walk pass. You will know this without talking to them, you can just see them. Why? Their culture is showing, in their dress, in their language, and what they're eating while they're walking. In other words when you are under a kingdom, it shows up in your culture! So if you are from heaven I'm supposed to be able to observe it! You don’t have to wear a badge saying, I am a kingdom citizen. It's supposed to show in the way you dress, walk, talk, eat, drive, act, and even get angry. Can people who tell where you from by observing you? Culture is lifestyle. Some of you have lost your children to another Kingdom. You don't even understand them when they talk to you. They're in a different Kingdom. You've lost them. It manifests in culture. I said that because I want you to understand The Most High's original idea. Write this down, it’s very important. The creator created the realm of heaven and called it his center of power. Heaven was created first wasn't it? Heaven is invisible. Number two it's very important. The Most High whose name is Elohim, created the heavens which is invisible but it's real and he's the king over that place. That country called heaven is his invisible domain. So Elohim is king over a country called heaven that is invisible. The Most High created this beautiful realm. He calls it heaven and he rules over that area. So he's called the king of heaven that's why it's called the kingdom of heaven. Now there are two terms Yahusha used in the four Gospels. One he would use the term, kingdom of heaven, then sometimes he used the words, kingdom of The Most High. Let me stress to you they are not the same. I'm explaining the difference. The kingdom of heaven is a place. The kingdom of The Most High is the influence of that place. Let me say it again. The kingdom of heaven is a place, it's an actual place. The kingdom of The Most High is the influence of that place. Dr. Munroe says, when he was born in 1954, he was born under a kingdom. That kingdom ruled his country for about 197 years. So he was born under a kingdom, now even though they were far away from that Kingdom, thousands of miles away, that Kingdom which is a place, called the Kingdom of Great Britain ruled their Islands in the Caribbean. The kingdom didn't come there, the influence came there. So when you come to the Bahamas you will notice that we drive on the left-hand side of the street. Why? If you go to visit our kingdom headquarters, they drive on the left. If you come to the Bahamas you would notice we drink tea four times a day. Why? If you go to his headquarters country, they drink tea four times a day. In other words, the place influences the territory. So we were under the Kingdom of Great Britain even though we never been to Great Britain. It's called Kingdom influence. So when Yahusha says the kingdom of The Most High is here, he's saying the influence of the country has arrived. Write this down please. The Most High's original idea was to extend his heavenly, invisible kingdom, to the earthly visible realm. That's all he wanted to do. Don't complicate it, don't get deep. We spend years preaching on the temple, the tabernacle, listen all that stuff is just symbols. The Most High's simple idea was, I want to rule earth from heaven. But we've created this complicated thing called christianity, all these rituals, and all these customs. The Most High is saying what are you doing? That's why HaMashiach never joined them, he never joined the religion. His simple idea was, to extend His kingdom to earth. Matter of fact, let's see what he says himself. Isaiah 45--some of you never saw this in the Bible before. Write this down. Isaiah 45 verse 8 says, he who created the heavens, he is The Most High, he fashioned and made the earth, he founded it, he did not create it to be empty but he formed it to be inhabited. That's in your Bible. We are thinking completely opposite to The Most High, Christianity is taught to abandon earth. Read the verse again. He said I made the earth and I didn't make it to be empty. I formed it to be what? Inhabited. I want my people on that place. Listen to me friends, listen to me, if you study the word kingdom and you study the word colonization, which is what kingdoms do, you'll discover that when you type the word colonization into your computer and you press search--you see a lot of information come up about Rome. Rome was the most successful colonizing kingdom in history. Then you will see a lot of countries come up like Spain, France, Belgium, Portugal and England. They'll come up why? Because all of them followed Rome. They are parts of Rome. They picked up the whole spirit of Rome and they keep colonizing. Listen to me, when you look at the information here's what it says. Colonization, was successful when a colony was placed in a foreign territory. Then it says a colony was established by the Romans when the Roman king would choose three hundred citizens, removing them out of Rome to live in a foreign territory. The Romans believed that once you get 300 people in a foreign place long enough, they will take over the place with culture and turn the place into Rome. So they say when in Rome, you do as the Romans do. Let's say the Bible is a territory and I'm the king and this is my territory over here. Let’s say I want to colonize another place. What I would do is, I remove some of my citizens from my territory and I would put them in that other territory. In other words, I would say let them have dominion. Let them dominate that place. You are not from Earth. No humans came from Earth. Your original country was heaven, you were sent here to dominate this territory for your country. What happened was, you decided to declare independence from your country and establish your own government down here. There is a way that seems right unto the man but the end of it is incest, destruction, murder, homicide, drugs, destruction, and corruption. Why? Because you’re ruining your own life The Most High says. That's why the king decided, that's still my territory, I'm gonna go down there myself. He came into the world, he came unto his own territory and they didn't recognize the king. You are not from Earth. If you are not behaving like heaven, you are misbehaving. All of us like sheep he says have gone astray. I didn't teach you to live like this he says. Yahusha never claimed to be a Hebrew, he never claimed that he was from Bethlehem, he never claimed that he was from Nazareth, he never claimed that he was come from Capernaum. Never. Read the Bible. I read this book for 28 years and I'm shocked at things we assumed. Matter of fact, they tried to make him agree with them, that he was from Nazareth. He disagreed. They tried to make Mary his mother, he disagreed. They tried to make Joseph his daddy, he disagreed. Some people didn't get it, yet they said where are you from? Tell us plainly. He says I came down from our Father. They said wait a minute, we know your mother, she's Mary. We know your father, he's Joseph and your brothers, James and John. He says, I came down from My Father. He says, if you knew my father you would know me. You know what your problem is? You claim to be an American. If you are an American, then you will be as successful as an American can be in a recession. You are as rich as where you came from. You are as healthy as where you came from. Some of you inherited your parents genes, that's why you got cancer, that's why you got high blood pressure, that's why you got diabetes, but this morning I want you to change your heritage. I came down from heaven and there is no sickness in heaven, no disease in heaven, no fear in heaven, no depression in heaven, no corruption in heaven. I am just like my hometown. The kingdom of The Most High is your hometown. So when someone ask you again where you're from, tell them it depends on what you want to know. What do you really want to know about me? I ain't no African. I came down from my father he says. They said but we know you, we know your parents. He said, I came down from my father. He made this place just for me to inhabit it he says. I am part of the colony that's supposed to fill this place with heavens culture, that's all I am. I came here to bring heaven on earth, through my influence. So when your government runs out of money, my government shall supply all of your needs according to the kings riches. That means, you are under the kingdom of The Most High and nothing shall come near your dwelling. A thousand may fall at your right, ten thousand at your left but your home shall be preserved. You are under a different economy and in the midst of poverty you shall prosper. Only the kingdom could sit in the middle of five thousand hungry people, and turn to a citizen, and say feed them and they look around and there is nothing to eat. He says feed them. Why? We are not limited by what you see. He was connected to another country that multiplies bread. Everyone talking about economic doom, economic downturn, economic collapse, let me tell you something. In the kingdom of The Most High there's no such thing. The kingdom of The Most High gets excited when the kingdoms of the world fall apart, that's when the kingdom shows off. You see, you are under a different government. You are not from Earth. Get it through your head. You are a spirit and you live in a dirt house. Your body is your earth suit and you came from heaven. Psalm 115 it says in verse 16 the highest heavens belong to Who? The Lord. That's his territory, but the earth he gave to the kids. Why do you want to abandon what he gave you? Look at this one, Genesis 1:26 he said for The Most High said let us make man, our kids, in our own spirit image just like us. Why? Let them have control, influence, leadership, and dominion over what? The fish, the birds, the cattle, and over all the earth. That's why he made you. He didn't make you to live in heaven, you came from there. Christianity produces the laziest people on earth. They are irresponsible, always wanting to vacate and evacuate. They hate pressure, they can't handle a bit of pain. Lazy people. The word dominion, write it down, is the word for Kingdom. Matter of fact, the word in the New Testament, the word basilia and it actually means sovereign power. It means royal power. Let them have royal power over the earth. The Hebrew word is even more powerful, it's the word melaka or roddow. This word roddow is a powerful word used in Genesis, that actually means kingdom, sovereignty. Let them have Kingdom over the earth. In other words, I want my country to come on earth. The Most High says, he created you to bring his country on earth, his culture just like the British brought their culture to the Bahamas 3,000 miles away. He wants to bring heaven to earth. Let them have rulership. Let me tell you something, you were born to rule. That's why you hate to be told what to do. You are built to be in charge. The word Dominion-- Roddow means a king over a territory. Let them have Kingdom over the territory. That's why he gave us the earth. You cannot be a king without territory. You cannot dominate nothing. That's why The Most High created the earth before he released you. So you don't understand The Most High. He put everything in the earth first, made the earth then put everything in it. Animals, plants water, gold, silver, diamonds, flowers, insects, reptiles, everything. The Bible says and the Lord said that it was good. Next verse, and then The Most High said, now let us release the kids. Let's make man out of our own spirit, they're coming out of heaven, put them in a dirt body on earth and let them have dominion over earth. They got to dominate something. You will not be happy in heaven, I guarantee it. Because there's nothing for you to rule in heaven. Read revelations chapters 19, 20 and 21. It says that the Saints are crying in heaven, they are weeping. Paul says they are weeping in heaven because they longed to be clothed again with their bodies. That's in your Bible. Twenty-first chapter of Revelation says I saw therefore a new heaven and a new earth coming down. Christians say, I'm going up... NO!! It's coming down. “I'm flying away” NO!! It's coming down! Revelation says and you shall reign on the earth with him forever. So you have a choice, believe your hymn book, or believe the Bible. You are a ruler and this is your territory. Let them have dominion. Let me give you a definition of what a kingdom is. This is very important. A kingdom is the sovereign rulership and governing authority of a king over his territory, impacting it with his will his purpose and his intent, producing a citizenry of people who reflect his character, nature, lifestyle and morals. That's a kingdom. It's a country with people. A kingdom is different from a democracy. In a democracy, you do not take on the nature of the president. Thank The Most High. In other words, in a democracy you don't dress like the president, eat like the president, act like the president, and talk to the president. But in the kingdom, you have to actually dress like the king, eat like the king, drive on the left-hand-side like the king, drink tea like the king, speak like the king. you take on the Kings complete character, his nature, his lifestyle. That's the difference. This is why in a kingdom you cannot have your personal values, your private morals. That's why we love Christianity, because Christianity allows you to have your own personal opinions. So you can decide, what you believe, what you don't believe in. Christianity means you are not in the kingdom of The Most High. You’re a Christian but you're not a kingdom citizen. As a kingdom citizen you become just like Yahusha. HaMashiach didn't say, read this book and memorize it. He says follow me. That's why people hate Yahusha. You don't choose him among many, you don't compare him to Mohammed, Buddha and Confucius and psychics and Dr. Phil. He’s not in their class. He’s KING! And if you claim him as your Lord, then you act like him, talk like him, eat like him, react like him and you represent him in every way. You are an ambassador of HaMashiach. That's why we love religion. Religion allows you to do what you feel. HaMashiach says you call me Lord, but you don't do what I say. You say, “Yes Lord” He says, stop lying. The word Lord means owner. Don't tell me I own you and then you're doing your own thing. Who are you sleeping with that you ain't married to and you singing in the choir? Are you crazy? You can't call him Lord. Now you get quiet. The kingdom of The Most High is a country for citizens that take on the nature of the King. The kingdom is the nation governed by a king. It's a nation. It is not a religion. Christianity is not the kingdom of The Most High. Christianity is a religion, and what's amazing about Christianity? It was formulated by a Roman king in Rome. That's why they call it the Roman Catholic Church. They moved it from Jerusalem. It is the route to Rome, it's the pagan headquarters. HaMashiach never told his disciples to meet me in Rome. He said meet me in Jerusalem. That’s where the real church is but they moved it to Rome. That's why the Pope lives in Rome. And Martin Luther was a Catholic- bishop -priest and he created Protestantism. Which is Baptist, Methodist, Church of God etc. They were created by a priest. Paul says in Romans 6 do not detach yourself from the root, cause you are just a branch. Go back and plant yourself where the root is in Jerusalem. Through a set of rituals and customs and rights, producing a distinctive group that is radical in nature. In other words, they think they are different. They keep to themselves, they become a sect. All religions have that definition that is completely opposite to what Yahusha preached. That's why he could not become a Pharisee, he couldn't join the Sadducees. Why? They were a sects. Christianity is a sect. They call us a sect because we worship a deity, better yet, a set of beliefs, we use rituals. Yahusha HaMashiach came to earth to bring something completely different. He came to bring a kingdom. A kingdom is not a religion. A kingdom is a country, a country governed by a king with all the components of a nation. The Most High lost a nation when Adam fell--he lost a nation, a country. The Bible says Abraham and all the patriarchs were looking for that country. That's in your Bible. They were not looking for religion. Abraham was looking for a country. As Adam’s great-great-great great-great grandson he knew his daddy his great-great Grandaddy lost a country. And that's why you are still searching today. Christianity has made you very frustrated because it's disappointed you. It's not a country. That's why church is boring and people keep leaving it. Because they get excited about the rituals for a while and then boom!-- Disappointed...they're looking for a country. He said happy are those who are spiritually poor, for to them belongs the kingdom. Not a religion. The Most High says, Abraham, come to me. Where? I'll tell you when to stop. Abraham got up and started walking. The Most High appeared to Abraham. “Abraham I want my country back and I need a colony again.” He says, I need a group of people who I can put on this place and they can become just like me. Out of you, I shall make a new nation, not a religion. That's why Judaism is not what The Most High wants. It's a religion. I will make all of you a great nation. I lost my colony and I will be your Most High, you will be my people. You will only listen to the heaven’s government and through you all the other nations that declare independence shall come back to me, and I will rule the earth again through my colony. If you understand, Abraham, what I am telling you, if you get it right, then I will bless you. The blessing is tied to understanding who you are. So if you're building a religion, you're going to go broke because he is not financing what he never told you to start!!! Abraham I will bless you. Make me this nation and I will bless you and I will bless those who help you make it. I will curse those who try to stop it. Stop what? Building my nation, my colony. I will curse them. Abraham had a son and that son had a son and that son had 12 sons and they became a colony. Now The Most High says okay, I'm going to give you the first thing countries have, a King. I will be your Yah and you will be my people. You don't need a human King. I am the government you are the colony. Number two here are the laws you will live by, the Ten Commandments. You will follow them. Why? I'm gonna create a new culture. You will not steal from people. As a culture, I will say it again, you will not steal. We don't kill. Why? It's our culture not to kill people. That's what he wants. It's our culture not to lie. We don't tell lies, why? It's not our culture to lie. It's our culture to tell the truth all the time with a colony of people. We don't covet our neighbor's goods, why? It's our culture not to covet. He was creating a culture. We know what happened to those people? They followed The Most High for a while and then they started to intermarry with the other cultures. Then they lost their culture and they went into slavery again and they ended up in Egypt, oppressed. The Most High says I still want my colony. Moses, let me try one more time. Go get them for me, bring them out here ,watch this and I will make of them a great religion? No!! A great nation. You know what's amazing to me? We have accepted the idea, that there's a separation of church and state, when in fact you are the state. He came to regain his country. We've created a religion--so we are useless, of no effect, having no impact. That's why we have a good time among ourselves only. You see, I'm not from here. Anybody else want to join me? The key to Kingdom is territory You cannot have a kingdom with no territory. That's why the first thing The Most High created for man was earth, territory. Number two kingdoms territory is called domain. The Bahamas used to be the domain of the Kingdom of Great Britain for 197 years. Domain-- that is where we get the word Dominion from. You can't have dominion unless you have territory. You cannot dominate anything. Number three, when you put a king with this domain it is called King domain. So we can see the word Kingdom is talking about two things. It is talking about a person and a place. It's two words put together. “King” - “domain” “King”- ”dom”. The word Kingdom means a person and a place. The glory of a kingdom is territorial influence. All kingdoms in history had their glory based on their capacity to influence vast territory. The bigger the territory of the influence, the greater the kingdom they were considered. So that's why all kingdoms kept expanding, because the more territory you control, the more glory you have. That's why the Bible says, the heavens declare the glory of The Most High, the earth shows forth us handiworks. Why? He made it so he can have more territory. 500 million galaxies all were made by The Most High, why? The Most High wanted to be the most awesome king of all time so he created time, itself and rules time. That's why I said that the king of glory is coming. Who is the king of glory? The Most High, strong and mighty. The Most High mighty in body, he is the king of what? Glory!! He has more glory than any other King. He owns all territory seen and unseen. He is king of all kings! All kingdoms expand. Why? They want more territory. See The Most High usually controls the unseen, that wasn't enough, so he created the seen. Then he wanted to colonize the seen with the unseen so he created unseen kids, put him in seen bodies and put him on the seen earth. Got the scene? What an awesome King. Write this down. The first Kingdom in existence was the Kingdom of Heaven, very natural, logical. So he controls everything from headquarters. He's King, the only problem is he handed earth over to you, and gave you sovereign rulership over earth. So whatever happens here, is up to you. That's the problem. So he says whatever you bind on earth, then we could bind it. Whatever you loose or allow on earth, then we have to allow it. So wherever any two shall touch and agree concerning anything on the earth, then the Father in heaven, can do it. It's all up to you. So he said, when you pray, pray like this--thy kingdom come, thy will be done, where? On earth!!
