The Principle of Kingdom Law and Righteousness


Our focus today on this Sabbath afternoon is understanding Kingdom law and righteousness. I want to focus today on a word that does not exist in democracy. It is the word obedience. You don't obey Prime Minister's, you don't obey presidents, but you obey Kings. Yahashua Hamachiach is not a president, he is not a prime minister, you don't negotiate with him. Kings require obedience. I'm talking about righteous Kings. I want to focus today on the power of obedience and alignment. Write those words down please. Obedience and alignment. I am convinced that every human being was created by The Most High Yah to be successful, so failure is a choice. Secondly I believe that success is predictable. That means you can decide to be a success. Thirdly I am convinced that failure is predictable. People fail because they make decisions that lead them to failure. They violate basic laws. Fourthly I am convinced that life is designed to be successful. The Most High Yah never created anything to fail, so if anything fails it's because it must have violated something in The Most High Yah's system. The Most High Yah is more committed to your success than you are. Why? Because your success is good for his reputation. Anyone who makes a product that doesn't work is embarrassed by their product, especially if their name is on that product. So The Most High Yah wants you to succeed for his own sake not just for yours. That means that your failure brings The Most High Yah great sadness. Success therefore is built into creation. Success is actually automatic. The only difficulty is you have to know it's laws. The secret to success is understanding the laws of success. This term “law” is important and I've come to a conclusion that laws were given to guarantee success. One time flying on a plane our pilot took us up to 42,000 feet which is one of the highest levels you can fly. We were up there for about an hour and a half and I noticed that the pilot wasn't doing anything except looking at the gauges. He was not controlling anything with his hands, he was just looking at gauges and once in a while, he would just turn a little knob and touch something. I was intrigued and I wondered how can this aircraft find its way to the destination and the pilot doesn't steer it? The captain said to me that before you leave the ground, you get your coordinates, you get your frequency, and you'll be the laws of the FAA. That's the Federal Aviation Association which controls all flights traveling over the United States. He said and all I do is put in the codes and I relax. The aircraft picks up direct signals based on the laws and it turns by itself. I don't touch it, it just turns by itself. It picks up the coordinates under laws that are built into the system automatically and it takes the aircraft directly to the airport. He said all we do is land it. I realized success is built in but first you have to know the coordinates and then submit to the FAA. You do what the tower says. I am sure pilots will tell you that there's one thing captain's do. They obey! They never argue with the tower. If the tower says turn three degrees to the left, they do it. Why? Because they know the big picture! They see that aircraft coming right toward you but you can't see it! Obedience prevents collision and when you line up with the laws you put yourself in an order and that's what I want to talk about regarding righteousness. The captain said, when you get your flight plan before you leave the ground, they give you your coordinates which are numbers you put into the computer and the computer sets your entire route based on the laws they give you through the FAA to obey. He said once you get the coordinates, they have 3000 aircrafts in the air at the same time and none colliding because each one is placed in their order. There are aircrafts flying over you all the time, flying under you all the time. You never see them because they have to stay in their order. What causes collision is if an aircraft does anything that changes its order and it enters another person space, there is destruction. So the key to safety in life is finding order. Success in life is a part of order and I want to talk about order. Please make notes here. Number one the power of law and order: Creation was designed to function on laws and keep order. Laws keep order when we talk about an orderly country. You cannot have order without laws. That leads me to number two, wherever there is disorder there is the absence or violation of law. Wherever there is disorder there is the absence of or the violation of laws, so if you see a country disorderly it's because someone is violating the laws of that country. If there is disorder in your physical body, there's some law you perhaps are violating. If there's disorder in your financial life, there must be some laws you are violating or you are absent in the knowledge of the law. The Bible says, my people are destroyed not because of the devil but because of a lack of knowledge. I think the question is, knowledge of what? It is the laws of The Most High Yah. That leads to number three, disorder always precedes destruction. Anyone that you see failing in anything, you can guarantee you can trace it back to somewhere where they violated some basic laws. You see a young man who you knew in school walking along the street and he is completely disoriented because of drug abuse. If you trace it back in his life, there was some point where he started disobeying the law and now he has a destructive life, wandering the streets. If your marriage falls apart, it could be directly traced back to some disorder in that relationship. Someone in that relationship violated basic laws, whether it’s trust, commitment, loyalty or faithfulness. Someone violated something and you see destruction. That leads me to number four, please write this down. The key to order is law. Order brings success, so you want to know what brings order? Order is a product of law and that leads to point number five. The key to success in life is not just knowing the laws but submission and obedience to law. If I never teach you anything, may it be this one point right here. If you want to be successful in The Most High Yah's creation, in The Most High Yah's kingdom, these important principles are necessary. You must submit to law or obey laws and The Most High Yah will give you success. Anyone, anywhere in the world who violates this basic principle can guarantee destruction. Law is not optional, it's necessary, but you have to submit to law for it to be your protector. Laws never destroy, they protect. Violation of law is self-destruction. That leads me to point number six. Disobedience produces disorder. When there is any manifestation of disorder, there is disobedience present. When you disobey law you create disorder which creates destruction. Can you imagine a pilot piloting the aircraft you are in and he decides to create his own frequency? I think life is too simple for us to be trying to impress people. If you obey the law, you are wise and I say to all of you who are reading this teaching now that your life is only as successful as the laws you submit to. Disobedience guarantees disorder and disorder guarantees collision and your life falls apart. The Most High Yah's purpose and plan is very simple. The Most High Yah's desire was to colonize earth with the nation of heaven. The Most High Yah wanted to fill the earth with the country of heaven. In other words, the nation of The Most High Yah is called the kingdom of heaven and his principal purpose was to transfer and establish his heavenly kingdom on earth as a country. Matthew chapter 4 verse 17 Yahashua declared the design of The Most High Yah. He said repent (Teshuvah) for the kingdom of heaven has arrived on earth. A kingdom is a country. Now why is this important? What I'm going to say is going to be critical for you to understand as a person who lives in a country. I'm going to show you how simple it is to destroy your country or to protect your country. I'm going to explain to you all the problems in our country right now, I'm going to show you the solution to them as well. The reason why nations fall apart is because those nations violate the fundamentals of what The Most High Yah wanted to do. If you're going to have a nation you must accept this fact that all nations are built on law. So when Yahashua said that he wants to bring the kingdom of The Most High Yah on earth, what he's basically saying is, he wants to restore to earth heavenly laws because nations are built on law. Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 he says our Father who is in heaven holy is your name, let your kingdom come and your will be done, Where? On earth, how it is in heaven. I want to give you a list to write down six things right now. I call this national order. National order first of all: all natures are built on law. Write that down. Nation's depend on law. To keep national order laws are the heart of a nation. Laws are the skeleton of a nation. Your body is held up by your skeletal frame, your bones. That's what keeps you upright is your skeletal frame and your bones. The nation skeleton is law. If you remove law, the nation collapses. Please write this down. Number one law guarantees national safety. The reason why you have bars on your window right now at your home and five locks on the front door is because nationally you don't feel safe. Why? Because there are law breaking citizens. Number two law guarantees national security. Write that down. Laws guarantee national security because when people obey the law you feel nationally secure, not just as a community but I'm talking about internationally. Investors choose countries to invest in, where they feel safe. Not only personally as humans but they feel that their money is safe. That's why we have to pray that people in power already have money, before they go in there, because when you are desperate there's temptation to compromise. So laws protect national security. Thirdly laws guarantee national prosperity. Nations prosper because of laws. If people keep laws then the nation will prosper not only from external investment. Laws protect us and give us prosperity. There are nations right now whose economies are broken not because they lack money but the corruption is so high. Obedience to law attracts prosperity. So every time you stop at a red light, you're protecting our country. Every time you don't steal what doesn't belong to you, you're protecting the whole country. In other words, it's a national act not a personal decision. So keeping laws is for national protection. That leads me to number four. Law guarantees national development. There are certain groups of people in the world who are known for corruption and wherever they go they have difficulty getting people to invest with them. Your culture can become a law breaking culture, where people don't trust you with their resources anymore and it causes you to actually become poor. When you obey law it attracts development. If you violate law you can drive development away from your country. If people know that you will obey laws they will trust you with their resources. I wonder if The Most High Yah may be withholding wealth from you now because he's observed you for the last fourteen, fifteen, twenty years, abusing the law. Number five, law guarantees national pride. National pride is when people keep laws a sense of pride that is in their life. Laws of decency and honor for people, laws of conscience. The Most High Yah watches every secret and he knows what to trust you and not trust you with. The Most High Yah will take things from you if you violate law. Are you known for being a law-abiding citizen? Are you ashamed to say you are from a certain country? Does it bring a sense of pride when you keep the law? Number six, law guarantees national wealth. Not just personal wealth. When you keep laws, you attract national wealth. The Bible says no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. That's the word for righteous citizens. I put it to you my friends that The Most High Yah wants us to keep laws. So when Adam fell it's a very important point to write down. Adam was simply disobedient to law. Can you imagine that the fall of man was simply a human disobeying a law. Law destroyed the human race. The Bible says by one man's disobedience. Not by one man's strategy, not by one man's army, but by one man's disobedience death came upon all humans it says. In other words, disobedience to law caused the whole human race to fall. Then that means then that if disobedience to law caused the fall, then the only way to fix it, to restore it is what? Restoration of law. So Yahashua Hamachiach came to earth not to bring a religion. He came to bring back national law from a country that was violated. He came back to restore the kingdom laws of heaven to earth. That's what this entire thing is about. This Bible is called the law of The Most High Yah. Not the suggestions of The Most High Yah, not the emotions of The Most High Yah, this is not the devotions of The Most High Yah. This is called the laws of The Most High Yah. We read this morning when that young man asked Yahashua Hamachiach a question, how can I have eternal life. Yahashua said keep the laws. He didn't say pray. We like to pray don't we? You have a problem? Pray! NO!!! Correct the laws you disobey! You don't need prayer, you need to find out the laws you are not obeying! Start lining up your life to the laws of The Most High Yah. As a matter of fact grace was provided to restore law not to replace it. Religious people have used grace to disobey law. We actually think that Yahashua came to replace law with grace. That's why we are failing, because somehow we believe that we have grace instead of law, but just in case you think that, let me read what Yahashua said himself about that. Matthew 5:17 at the beginning of his ministry he says do not think that I have come to destroy or abolish the law. Now why did Yahashua have to say that? Because he knew we “would think”. Don't forget those two words at the beginning “do not think”. Yahashua knew with those three words we would develop a theology later that would say don't get under the law, don't get under the legal law. Then you began to become afraid of law. Hamachiach says before I get started let me just be clear, I did not come to destroy the law nor the prophets who spoke them. In other words, he has a saying there is no such thing as a New Testament Christian. What do you mean by that? They believe the old prophets don't affect you anymore. Yahashua says, wait a minute, think not that I came to destroy the law and all the ones who quoted it. There is no such thing as a New Testament believer. There's a believer who believes in the whole law of The Most High Yah. I stress to you this: He said I tell you the truth I did not come to destroy the law but to do what? Fulfill the law. Fulfilled means to enforce, to establish, to put the spirit back into it, to give you the meaning of it. Why I tell you the truth he says. Until heaven and earth pass away not one stroke of the pen of the law will be removed. Don't cancel my laws! When The Most High Yah said he came to “fulfill,” the Hebrew word he used is very very beautiful. It has a multiplicity of meanings. I came to enforce, explain, I came to restore, I came to demonstrate the law. Yahashua Hamachiach obeyed every law he wrote for you. He obeyed them himself! He loved his enemies, he forgave those who crucified him. The Bible says love those who hate you. Did he do that? Yes! Do good to those who despitefully use you. Did he do that? Father forgive them for they know not what they do. The law says give to the poor. Did he feed 5,000 people, free fish and bread? It's so important to remember he didn't come to remove the law, he came to establish it. Can I say that citizenship is the right to obey laws. When you receive citizenship in the country, they're giving you the responsibility of obeying the laws of the country. So this is why citizenship should not be taken lightly. Not only do you get the benefits from citizenship, you also get the responsibility of citizenship. If you don’t obey the law, they take you out of the community and put you in a place called prison. Why? You violated the right to remain in the community. Prisoners are simply people who break and violate the law and they negate their right to be in the community. They can't benefit from being free. Every time I think of the law I think about this guy his name is Moses. John chapter 1 verse 17 it says for the law was given through Moses and grace and truth came through Yahashua Hamachiach. Now grace means the ability. Truth means original meaning. Moses gave you the law I came to give you the ability to keep it. He says I came to explain what Moses told you because I told Moses what to tell you. My laws have never been changed. So we are not free from law. We are free to obey the law. Grace comes to give us capabilities for obedience. You cannot obey The Most High Yah's law without The Most High Yah's help, so The Most High Yah provided the grace for you to keep the laws again. Law is a very confusing word for most people because of our theological confusion. When I use the word law, I'm not referring to the rituals of religion. I'm not talking about all those customs that people take you through and give you heavy weights to carry that Yahashua was against. I'm talking about The Most High Yah's simple laws of nature, spiritual laws of the world that you are supposed to obey. If you obey them you'll live and succeed. Can you imagine a pilot saying to the tower, I've been flying for 50 years now. I've outgrown you and I'm more experienced than you. I know how to fly this thing without your help. I think you would find a lot of collisions in the world. Sometimes we think that way about The Most High Yah. You know I've been walking with The Most High Yah so long now I can walk without him. The Most High Yah's laws never change, The Most High Yah's law is so prioritized in the mind of Yahashua that he said these words: Matthew 5 verse 19 if anyone breaks the least of these laws and teaches others to do the same will be called what? Least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever practices and teaches these Commandments and laws will be called what? Great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of who? The Pharisees and teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom. The last statement means unless the laws you obey are beyond the rituals of religion, like the Pharisees, you can't experience Kingdom life. In other words, religion will never give you Kingdom living trying to do all these rituals. By the way, the Pharisees and scribes ended up with over 669 little laws that they told you to keep. You can't even remember them. They were so in bondage. I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about national life in the country called heaven. If you obey the laws he says, then you will be called great. If you can teach others to do it you'll be called great in the kingdom of The Most High Yah. I assume that great means that they are going to take care of you as well because you're doing his will. Make a note of this please. The only two priorities that The Most High Yah ever gave man on his agenda, very simple priorities is found in Matthew chapter 6 verse 33. Only two things Hamachiach said we should think about. One seek first the kingdom of The Most High Yah, and then His righteousness and everything else he says comes to you automatically. Success is automatic. He ties automation in life to two things. Kingdom country righteousness! He said don't just enter the country, even though that's wonderful. Seek! That’s first. Then once you get in the country, he says now you need righteousness. Don't just become a citizen even though that's wonderful. He said what you need is righteousness. So the two things you must focus on for the rest of your life are these two things. This is what I'm living on right now until I die. Two things I'm concerned about in life, that's all. Let me say them again. One is the kingdom of The Most High Yah and two is righteousness. That's it! He said everything else will be added to you. This conversation came about when they asked about what? Food, clothes, car and house. They were concerned about how they were going to live. Yahashua says look, stop worrying about those things. Just lineup with two things: the kingdom and righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew chapter 5 verse 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what? Righteousness! Why? For they will be filled with everything they need. Notice he said you must hunger for something. Hunger for righteousness. Hunger means desire passionately. And you'll be filled. Look at this verse Matthew 5:10 it says blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness sake. Why? Because to them belongs the Kingdom living. Now, two things are going on here. He says desire it, but when you desire it you can develop enemies. When you decide to be righteous you will create opposition because the whole world is going down the river in one direction and you decide to turn around and swim upstream. The pressure is natural. You will have to go through persecution. Is someone scheming to kill you or destroy you? Persecution is just normal because you go in an opposite direction. It is the tide coming against you, so don't consider it any strange thing when they persecute you. Now don't get me wrong. I have to define persecution. For some of you people, some of the things that we create are problems not persecution. Persecution is natural opposition to your obedience to The Most High Yah. I repeat persecution is your natural opposition to your obedience to The Most High Yah. You don't look for persecution, it's automatic. He says blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake because theirs is the kingdom of The Most High Yah. If you decide to live in the kingdom and be righteous then opposition is normal. Here's why this is important. First Yahashua says seek the kingdom of The Most High Yah. First you have to know the word Kingdom means Rada and it means seek The Most High Yah's government, The Most High Yah's rulership, and The Most High Yah's dominion over earth. Seeking The Most High Yah's will execute it on earth. Seek The Most High Yah's jurisdiction, seek The Most High Yah's heavenly influence on earth and seek The Most High Yah's administration. He says seek that first seek to be under The Most High Yah's government, The Most High Yah's jurisdiction, The Most High Yah's rulership, The Most High Yah's Dominion, The Most High Yah's will, and The Most High Yah's administration. It's a country. Seek to live under that country's government, seek that first he says. So the first command of Yahashua Hamachiach is to get under The Most High Yah's Country, not a religion. Once you’re under a country, now the second part then is as equal as the first. Seek ye first the kingdom and his righteousness. This is what I call a priority. Number two priority. Number one is the kingdom priority. Number two is righteousness. Here's the trick! What is righteousness? The word of righteousness has nothing to do with dressing in long dresses and wearing a cross around your neck, burning incense or not wearing makeup, not putting on lipstick or not wearing jewelry. Nothing to do with it. The word simply means those who are upright just and righteous. This word actually means to conform to The Most High Yah's laws. The word also means up rightness. It means to be righteous. The Hebrew word is to transfer to, to announce something. It actually means in legal terms one's conformity with legal corpus. Now corpus means the body of law. The word righteous means conformity with the legal corpus. It literally means to be under judicial process. Jeremiah uses the word exactly like it's written in the Hebrew context. In other words righteousness means when you are under a king's law and receive His justice. The word justice means rights. So when a king is satisfied that you are keeping his laws, he gives you your rights. Hamachiach seek ye first the kingdom. Okay you are under him and then he says now be righteous. Conform to my laws and everything you need will be added to you. I will see that you get what is rightfully yours without stress. You were never supposed to fight to make a living, but Adam did such a horrible job we have to deal with thorns and thistles just to get bread. We have to sweat just to get bread. That's what the Bible says because he violated a law. Then The Most High Yah sent Yahashua Hamachiach as our righteousness that put us back in alignment with The Most High Yah's law so that we can receive the justice of the king. Do you know why we have such a negative experience with most of our colonization?
It's because the Kings were not righteous. What separates Yahashua Hamachiach from all the other kings of the earth is he is known as the righteous King. He is the king who is lined up with The Most High Yah. The Most High Yah is love which means that nothing Hamachiach will do will ever hurt you. He is under love, he is under the jurisdiction of love. Whatever he does is because of love. The kingdoms that we were under went into our territory, they took away our gold, our silver and took him back home. They raped the colonies, they kept the people oppressed. They made them slaves. These were not righteous Kings. If they were righteous, they would have been under The Most High Yah's one corpus law. The Most High Yah's first law concerning man is they are all made in my image. How can you oppress The Most High Yah's image as a slave if he is equal to you? So a righteous King is what makes Yahashua a good King to be under. I would rather submit to Yahashua Hamachiach than any other leader in the world because he is a righteous judge. This is why we follow only Yahashua. You can't trust nobody because they are in it for something but Hamachiach is in it to give you something. Not to take from you. For The Most High Yah so loved you he GAVE! He is the righteous judge. The Bible says I know my plans for you, plans not to hurt you, not to harm you, but plans to prosper you and give you an expected end. What a good king to be under. This is why we can trust this king. The word righteous means straightness. Straightness means alignment. It means right positioning or right standing with Authority. Straightness means you want to get straight again under an authority. To be righteous means you are standing in the right position to receive from an authority it's protection, its provisions, and its promises. You want to get in the right position. Therefore righteousness means alignment with law and authority. Write that down. Righteous means to be aligned properly with the law and authority. Seek ye first the kingdom as the country and righteousness. Align yourself with its laws and its authority. In other words, it means to be in sync with law. It’s that simple. I seek to get in the country by being born of the Spirit and then I hunger just to keep the laws and everything else you need will be added to you. The word righteous also means to be in proper relationship with Authority. It means to be in sync with Authority. Seek ye first the kingdom of The Most High Yah which is the country and then seek to be in proper relationship with the king and his laws. If you do that, he says then you'll be under the legal lawful alignment with authority. That's all I can teach you for the rest of my life. Get into the kingdom, keep the laws! Get into the kingdom, keep the laws! Why do people leave their countries? Let me tell you why. Broken governments. The system is broken. People don't want to leave their countries, that's too much hassle to uproot your life but because the laws are so corrupt, you can't survive. Honestly in the environment there's no justice present, and no rights given. People change countries because the country stopped working. When Hamachiach came to earth his announcement was change your mind! Why? Another country has come on the planet and you don’t have to suffer under your own government anymore. You can enter the kingdom of heaven on earth, be under another government right here. That's the good news. If people feel like they can't get justice or fairness under a specific government, they start leaving. Are we legally lawfully aligned with The Most High Yah's Authority? The Most High Yah’s government has standards for citizenship. Whenever a country decides to accept you as a citizen, they do research on your background. They want to know whether you are a law breaking citizen or a law-abiding citizen. Why? They don't want you to bring a bad culture in their country. They would actually refuse your citizenship if you were known to be a felon. Why? Because you're going to bring that culture in the new country. There are people who come into the kingdom of The Most High Yah and they're criminals. They sit right among you, dress nice but their mind never changed. I have an obligation if we come under the kingdom of heaven we must align ourselves with his laws. Stop stealing, stop bribing people, stop manipulating people's weaknesses, abusing people. You have to learn how to live according to the laws of the kingdom of The Most High Yah. You used to be the children of darkness he said, but now you are the children of light. Type in the comments, I'm changed I'm under different laws! Righteousness means to be obedient to standards and regulations and laws of a nation. Righteousness means to be obedient to the standards, regulations and laws of a nation. Every time you stop at a red light you are being righteous. It means you are lining yourself with the laws. Remember wherever there's disobedience to the law, there's disorder. It brings on destruction. The law protects the country. Disobedience destroys the country. The kingdom of heaven is the same way. We can't come into The Most High Yah's country and then bring our original laws with us. We have to submit to his original laws. We have to realize that to live in the country, we have to obey the laws of the country to experience the benefits of the country and The Most High Yah will provide for us according to our obedience.
