PART 2

Now hear me. One of the greatest traps in life is chasing loyalty. When you start running after people to prove their faithfulness, you have already surrendered your peace. Loyalty is not something you pursue. It is something you discern.

Because whatever you chase, you give power to. When you chase loyalty, you create idols out of relationships. You begin to measure your worth by who stays instead of by who sent you. That’s dangerous.

Some of you are exhausted, not because of your assignment, but because you are trying to convince people who were never called to understand you. But hear me, child of Yah. Every misalignment carries a cost. Every wrong relationship drains the energy needed for your calling. Every misplaced loyalty delays your destiny.

That’s why discernment is a sign of maturity. The wise don’t fight for every relationship. They filter every relationship.

Yah will never allow everyone from your past to enter your future. Some relationships are seasonal scaffolding. They helped you build a foundation, but they are not meant to remain once the structure stands.

And if you cling to what Yah used only temporarily, you will miss what He is building permanently.

Loyalty that requires compromise is not loyalty—it’s control. If someone demands that you betray your values to prove your faithfulness, that’s manipulation disguised as friendship. Real loyalty never asks you to shrink your purpose. It supports your growth.

Let me illustrate this. When you chase loyalty, you behave like a servant seeking approval from your own guests. You spend all your time entertaining people who were only supposed to visit. They drain your table but never bring bread.

Purpose is not built on keeping seats full. It’s built on keeping motives pure.

When you chase loyalty, you shift from purpose to people-pleasing. You begin to lower your standards just to preserve someone’s comfort. You stop walking by conviction and start walking by consensus. My friend, that’s not loyalty. That’s bondage.

Never trade your calling for companionship.

You must understand validation is a poor substitute for vision. Many lose direction because they’re more focused on who’s following them than on who’s leading them. The moment you chase loyalty, you stop pursuing destiny.

Yah never told you to chase people. He told you to lead by purpose.

So, child of Yah, stop chasing loyalty. Let Yah reveal it. When you walk in purpose, loyalty will locate you. Alignment will attract the right company. You won’t need to beg for commitment. The ones assigned to you will recognize your call without explanation.

When you stop chasing, you start leading. When you stop proving, you start producing. And when you stop begging people to stay, you make room for those who were sent by destiny to build with you.

Now that you understand the danger of chasing loyalty, let me show you how to build something far greater: purpose-aligned friendships. Because relationships are not built by accident. They are built by principle.

Stop chasing loyalty. Guard your peace. Protect your focus. And let purpose pick your people.

Let me give you a law. Purpose is the foundation of all lasting relationships. If two people’s purpose doesn’t agree, their partnership cannot endure. You can have chemistry with someone and still have no covenant with them.

Chemistry creates excitement, but covenant creates endurance. Chemistry attracts the flesh. Covenant connects the spirit.

There are three circles of relationships, and you must know who belongs where.

First, there are the comrades. These are the people who walk with you because of a common enemy. They are not for you; they are against what you’re against. Once the battle is over, they disappear. Never mistake comrades for covenant friends.

Second, there are the colleagues. They walk with you because of a common goal. They love the mission, not necessarily the man. You can work with them, celebrate victories together, but when the project ends, the connection fades. They were never meant to carry your soul, only your workload.

And finally, there are the covenant friends. These are rare. They are not bound to your performance, but to your purpose. They love you enough to challenge you, to correct you, to push you toward your destiny.

Covenant friends will never compete with your success because they see your success as the extension of their own obedience to Yah.

How do you recognize a covenant friend?

They celebrate your growth even when it surpasses theirs. They pray for your destiny when others gossip about your progress. They protect your name in rooms where you’re not present. They don’t need the spotlight. They honor the assignment.

Let me remind you, even Yahusha had levels of friendship. He fed five thousand, trained twelve, but confided in three, and only one, Yochanan, stood with Him at the stake.

If Yahusha Himself managed His circles with discernment, what makes us think we can survive without boundaries?

Some of you are tired not because of your calling, but because you have given too many people equal access to unequal authority.

There are three circles of relationships, and you must know who belongs where.

First, there are the comrades. These are the people who walk with you because of a common enemy. They are not for you; they are against what you’re against. Once the battle is over, they disappear. Never mistake comrades for covenant friends.

So choose your circle with purpose. The right friendships will sharpen your vision, not blur it. The wrong ones will drain your clarity until you can’t hear Yah clearly anymore.

Be careful. Not everyone who smiles is safe. Discern alignment before you distribute access.

Let me leave you with this truth. When purpose leads, loyalty follows. When you live for your calling, the right people will recognize their place beside you. You will no longer beg for commitment. You will attract covenant.

And when covenant friends stand with you, storms cannot break you and success cannot corrupt you.

Purpose-aligned friendships are not about quantity. They are about destiny. You don’t need a crowd. You need companions of covenant. For destiny doesn’t need numbers—it needs agreement.

So today, I challenge you. Build by purpose, not by popularity. Surround yourself with those who don’t just walk with you, but walk toward the same vision Yah gave you.

Because when purpose governs your friendships, peace becomes the natural fruit of your life.

Now that you understand the power of purpose-aligned friendships, you must learn how to protect them and protect yourself through boundaries. Because, my friends, without boundaries, purpose will bleed.

You cannot pour the same measure into every vessel. Not every vessel is ready to carry what you carry.

Listen carefully. Boundaries are not barriers. They are borders of wisdom. They do not keep people out; they keep order in. Boundaries are how you protect your peace, preserve your focus, and maintain your strength for the assignment ahead.

Let me tell you a principle. Boundaries define stewardship. If you don’t establish where your time, energy, and attention go, someone else will. Boundaries are how you tell life, “This belongs to my purpose, and that does not.”

Without them, you will spend your days reacting to everyone else’s emergencies while neglecting your own destiny.

Boundaries also teach others how to treat you. People can only violate limits that you never clearly set. If you tolerate disrespect in silence, you train others to dishonor your value. Kingdom order demands clarity—not pride, but principle.

And hear me, saying no is not rejection—it’s protection. You’re not saying no to people; you’re saying yes to peace. Every yes carries a cost, so you must be wise with where you invest it.

There are times when you must say no to invitations, no to gossip, no to draining conversations, no to relationships that disturb your focus. Because your peace is your power, and peace is too expensive to spend on confusion.

Boundaries are also spiritual weapons. When you draw the line, you defend the garden of your mind. Remember, in Bereshith (Genesis), Yah placed boundaries even in paradise. He said, “You may eat of every tree except one.” That means order is a divine principle. Where there are no boundaries, chaos reigns.

Let me tell you the truth. You can’t control what people do, but you can control what you allow. You can’t change how others act, but you can choose what you permit in your atmosphere.

Stop granting front-row access to people who only come to observe, not to build. Stop giving your energy to those who drain it and your time to those who waste it.

When you establish boundaries, you don’t lose relationships—you filter them. The right people will honor your limits. The wrong ones will expose themselves by crossing them. Boundaries don’t break loyalty; they reveal it.

So hear me well. Protecting your peace is not selfish—it’s stewardship. Peace is the garden where purpose grows. And if you don’t guard it, weeds of distraction will choke your destiny.

Yahusha guarded His time, withdrew to pray, and rested when others demanded more. Even the Son of Yah had moments when He said enough. If He modeled that wisdom, so must you.

So from this day forward, set clear boundaries for your time, your emotions, your mind, and your space. Because when your boundaries are strong, your purpose becomes unstoppable.

Yahusha Himself was the greatest example of boundaries. He loved everyone, but He did not give everyone equal access. He fed the multitudes, taught the seventy, trained the twelve, trusted the three, and confided in one. Why? Because wisdom knows that access must always be measured by assignment.

You cannot pour the same measure into every vessel. Not every vessel is ready to carry what you carry.

My friend, when your relationships are aligned with your calling, life begins to move in rhythm. There is no longer friction between your assignment and your associations. You stop striving for acceptance, and you start walking in agreement.

Because when two people share the same purpose, peace flows naturally.

You see, when Yah joins you with people who are assigned to your destiny, everything begins to multiply. Your clarity multiplies, your joy multiplies, your creativity multiplies.

Now that you’ve learned how to establish boundaries, let me show you the reward—the beauty, the blessing, the divine peace that comes from purpose-aligned relationships.

The reward of alignment is peace without performance. You no longer have to prove your worth to stay connected. The relationship is built on purpose, not personality. You can rest in it, grow in it, and sharpen each other in it. That’s what the Scripture calls iron sharpening iron.

And listen to me. One aligned person is more valuable than a thousand admirers. Admirers feed your ego. Aligned partners feed your assignment. The crowd may applaud you, but only covenant friends will help you carry the stake of purpose.

There’s also protection in alignment. When you walk with the right people, you inherit their wisdom, their strength, and their prayers. You are covered, not just accompanied.

And when storms come—and they will—alignment keeps you standing. The wrong relationships collapse under pressure, but the right ones grow stronger in adversity.

This is why you must never chase quantity. Pursue quality. Yah doesn’t build your destiny with crowds. He builds it with covenant. You don’t need everyone. You need the right ones.

So rejoice when your circle becomes smaller. Because what remains after pruning is pure.

And when you find those who are aligned with your vision, value them, honor them, protect that connection with prayer, humility, and gratitude.

Because the greatest reward of purpose-aligned relationships is not what you get from them, but what you become through them. You become sharper. You become wiser. You become steadier in your purpose. You become more like the version of yourself Yah designed.

That is the fruit of divine alignment: peace, power, and progress without pretension.

My friends, hear me well as I close. You were never designed to chase loyalty. You were created to lead by purpose.

When you walk in purpose, you don’t have to run after people. People are drawn to the fragrance of your destiny. The wrong crowd fades, and the right company appears.

You see, when Yah joins you with people who are assigned to your destiny, everything begins to multiply. Your clarity multiplies. Your joy multiplies. Your creativity multiplies.

The Scriptures say two are better than one, for they have a good reward for their labor. That means purpose-aligned relationships don’t drain you—they develop you. They don’t compete with you; they complete the vision with you.

So here’s the law. Everything that stays in your life must serve your purpose, and everything that hinders your purpose must go. Don’t apologize for that. You were not created to maintain everyone’s comfort. You were created to fulfill your divine assignment.

When you protect your alignment, you protect your destiny.

Every eagle must learn to fly alone before it soars with others. There are seasons where Yah isolates you—not to punish you, but to promote you. Isolation is preparation for elevation.

When you rise to your true altitude, the air gets thinner. Not everyone can breathe where you are going. That is not rejection—that is design.

Let me give you this truth. When you stop chasing loyalty, you begin to attract destiny. Purpose is a magnet for the right people. The same Yah who called you to your vision will send those who are called to help you fulfill it.

You don’t have to manipulate or persuade. All you must do is remain faithful.

So stop chasing people who do not value your purpose. Stop running after those who left. They walked away because they were never assigned to your next chapter. If they could leave, they were not meant to last. Destiny never loses what it truly needs.

And as I close, I speak this declaration over you:

Stop lowering your altitude to keep company with chickens. Stop apologizing for your wings. When you change levels, you will lose company, but you will gain clarity. Because when Yah calls you higher, He also purifies your circle. Some people cannot go where purpose is taking you. Let them go in peace.

Because the moment you embrace your identity, the moment you step into your divine authority, heaven begins to move resources, people, and favor into your path.

You are not behind. You are simply being refined.

So rise up, child of purpose. Walk with confidence. You don’t need to chase anything. You are already chosen.

And when the chosen lead, loyalty follows.

That is the power of alignment. That is the peace of purpose. And that, my friend, is the freedom of a focused life.

PART 1

STOP CHASING LOYALTY

My friends, hear me carefully today. One of the greatest frustrations in life is not your enemies. It’s your friends who change. You see, some people are faithful to your history, but not to your destiny. They love the old you, not the becoming you. And if you don’t understand that truth, you will spend your life chasing people who were never assigned to your future.

I have learned, and I want you to learn this early, that loyalty is not love and presence is not purpose. There are people who will walk with you for years, but the moment you decide to grow, they disappear. They were not loyal to you. They were loyal to the version of you that made them comfortable.

Every season of your life reveals a new circle. And when Yah shifts your season, He also shifts your associations. Listen carefully. Some people were sent to your past, not to your purpose. They were necessary for your journey, but they are not qualified for your destination. And if you keep dragging people who don’t belong to your next chapter, you’ll delay what Yah is trying to do in your life.

Loyalty, true loyalty, is not proven by time. It is proven by purpose. Some of you think longevity equals loyalty. Just because someone has been around for years doesn’t mean they belong in your destiny. There are people who have been sitting beside you for decades but have never truly walked with you in purpose. Loyalty is not about being around you. It’s about being aligned with what Yah placed inside you.

Now, let me tell you the painful truth. If you have to chase loyalty, it was never genuine. Loyalty cannot be demanded. It must be discerned. You don’t beg people to stay in your life. You recognize who is meant to be there. Because when purpose is clear, relationships become clear.

Purpose will always expose pretenders. Some people left not because they were evil, but because they were finished. Their assignment in your life expired. And you must have the courage to let them go without bitterness. Yah will never send your next until you release your last.

The moment you stop chasing loyalty, you make room for alignment. And hear me, alignment is more powerful than affection. Affection is emotional. Alignment is eternal. Affection says, “I like you.” Alignment says, “I’m called to you.” And when you understand that, you stop measuring relationships by how much people say they love you and start measuring them by how much they understand your purpose.

So today, I want you to start asking a different question. Not who likes me, but who’s aligned with me. Because your destiny doesn’t need fans, it needs partners. You don’t need more people around you. You need the right people beside you.

The painful truth about loyalty is this: not everyone who starts with you is meant to finish with you. But don’t be discouraged. Separation is often the signal that elevation is near. When Yah wants to promote you, He will isolate you from what’s familiar so He can align you with what’s eternal.

Stop mourning over who left and start preparing for who’s coming. The ones who walked away may have removed themselves, but the ones who are assigned will be drawn by purpose. You don’t chase them. Purpose attracts them. Because when you know who you are and where you’re going, the right people can find you without explanation.

That is the painful truth about loyalty. And it is also the beginning of freedom.

And hear me, alignment is more powerful than affection. Affection is emotional. Alignment is eternal. Affection says, “I like you.” Alignment says, “I’m called to you.” And when you understand that, you stop measuring relationships by how much people say they love you and start measuring them by how much they understand your purpose.

The word loyalty comes from the old Latin root that means to be bound by law or obligation. In other words, it’s not a feeling. It’s a commitment to shared purpose. That means true loyalty is not based on how you feel about me. It’s based on what we’re both called to accomplish together.

That’s why, my friends, not everyone who likes you is loyal to you. Some people are loyal to your function, not your future. They’re with you as long as you can feed their need. But the moment your season shifts, their loyalty expires.

You must understand this so that when people walk away, you don’t fall apart. You discern the difference between companionship and covenant.

Let me teach you a principle. Companionship is comfort-based, but covenant is purpose-based. Companions enjoy your presence. Covenant friends protect your assignment. Companions like what you do for them. Covenant friends remind you who you are when you forget. One relationship entertains your emotions. The other one empowers your destiny. You must know the difference.

Even Yahusha demonstrated this principle. He had multitudes who followed Him, seventy He sent out, twelve He trained, three He trusted, and only one stood with Him at the stake. Not everyone around Yahusha was aligned with His mission. And if the Son of Yah needed discernment about His circle, so do you.

And let me tell you, loyalty without purpose becomes bondage. Some of you are holding on to relationships that no longer serve your growth because you confuse familiarity with faithfulness. Just because someone knows your story doesn’t mean they belong in your destiny. You can’t build your future around nostalgia.

Loyalty that keeps you from progress is no longer loyalty. It’s captivity. There is a kind of loyalty that drains you, a loyalty that demands your time, your peace, your energy, yet gives no return to your purpose. My friend, that’s not loyalty. That’s emotional slavery.

You were never called to be everyone’s rescuer. You are called to be a steward of your assignment.

True loyalty always flows from shared purpose. That’s why Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” Agreement there doesn’t mean comfort. It means alignment. It means walking in the same direction with the same vision toward the same goal.

You cannot maintain peace with people who are walking in a different direction than your destiny. So don’t measure loyalty by proximity. Measure it by principle. Some people will stand next to you on stage, but never stand with you in struggle. Others may not be physically near, but they carry your name in prayer every day. That’s loyalty. True friends don’t need your spotlight. They honor your assignment.

Hear me well. When purpose governs friendship, loyalty is automatic. When purpose is absent, loyalty becomes negotiation. If someone must be convinced to stay, they were never committed to the mission. But if they’re truly aligned with your calling, they’ll endure correction, discomfort, even distance because purpose holds them stronger than preference.

So from this day forward, stop asking who likes me and start asking who’s loyal to my purpose. Because your life will always reproduce the quality of the relationships you allow. Surround yourself with people who recognize the call of Yah on your life, who challenge your growth, who refuse to let you settle for less than destiny. That’s the nature of real loyalty—not emotional comfort, but divine commitment.

Now listen carefully. Everything Yah created, He created for a purpose. Nothing exists without intention. The chair you’re sitting on was designed for a reason. The phone in your hand, the clothes you wear, even the breath in your lungs—all have a purpose. So hear me: if everything has a purpose, then every relationship also has a purpose.

And this, my friends, is where most people make the mistake. We choose relationships based on emotion instead of purpose. We say, “I like them,” or, “They make me laugh.” But we never ask, “Are they aligned with my destiny?” You see, affection without alignment leads to distraction.

Purpose is the divine filter that separates who’s with you from who’s merely around you. When you understand your assignment, you stop connecting out of need and start connecting out of vision. You stop seeking company and start building covenant.

Let me teach you the law of alignment. Where there is no shared purpose, there can be no lasting peace. That means when two people walk in different directions, they will eventually separate no matter how hard they try to hold on, because alignment determines longevity.

The reason some relationships break is not betrayal, it’s misalignment. You are no longer traveling toward the same destination.

Hear this principle: when your vision changes, your circle must change. Not because you hate anyone, but because purpose demands precision. When an airplane prepares for takeoff, the captain releases extra baggage. Why? Because every added weight increases the drag. Likewise, every new level of purpose requires you to release unnecessary weight, including relationships that no longer fit your altitude.

Let me put it another way. Growth exposes misalignment. When Yah starts to expand you, He also starts to reveal who’s really with you. Some people celebrated you when you were small, but they can’t handle you when you start walking in purpose. They’re loyal to your limitation, not to your liberation.

You must understand this truth. Alignment is stronger than affection. Two people can love each other deeply and still not be meant to walk together. Why? Because love is emotional, but purpose is eternal. Love connects hearts. Purpose connects destinies.

You can have affection for someone who is completely misaligned with your assignment. And that affection, if unchecked, will become your anchor.

Alignment simply means to walk in the same direction toward a shared divine goal. It doesn’t mean perfection. It means agreement in vision. When people are aligned, they don’t have to be pushed. They flow in the same rhythm. You don’t have to beg them to understand your values. They already speak your language.

Alignment simplifies your life because it removes confusion.

And let me tell you something else. When you are truly aligned with your purpose, you will attract those who are assigned to it. Purpose is magnetic. You won’t have to chase people. You won’t have to force connections. Destiny recognizes destiny. Assignment recognizes assignment.

Yah will never bring alignment to a cluttered life. Clean your circle and your calling will gain clarity.

When you protect your alignment, you protect your destiny.

Some separations will hurt, but they are holy. Some rejections will sting, but they are redirections. When you let go of what’s misaligned, you make space for divine partnership. Yah will never bring alignment to a cluttered life. Clean your circle and your calling will gain clarity.

So I say to you today, stop chasing agreement and start pursuing alignment. Because where purpose governs relationships, peace becomes permanent.

Now that you understand the law of alignment, let me show you something powerful. Every relationship in your life will be tested by purpose. Purpose is the ultimate examiner of loyalty. You will never truly know who is with you until purpose begins to demand something of them.

Testing doesn’t destroy alignment—it reveals it.

When you start to rise, purpose begins to ask questions that emotion cannot answer. The question is not who loves you, but who can walk with you when love costs something. You see, anybody can celebrate you in comfort, but true alignment is proven in conflict.

Let me give you three divine tests that expose the truth about every connection.

One, the test of access.

The first test is access. Who do you give access to—your thoughts, your dreams, your vulnerabilities? You cannot give equal access to unequal people. Some people are not evil; they are simply unqualified to handle what’s sacred.

Yahusha didn’t share every secret with the multitudes. He reserved revelation for the few who could steward it.

Purpose-aligned friendships require boundaries. Boundaries are not rejection—they are protection. They protect your peace, your time, your energy, and your focus.

You cannot pour destiny into every cup. Some cups are cracked. Some cups are full of poison. And some are simply too small to hold what Yah is pouring through you.

Let me give you three divine tests that expose the truth about every connection.

Two, the test of correction.

Correction reveals motives. A loyal person doesn’t just agree with your comfort, they safeguard your character. Beware of those who only clap when you’re right but stay silent when you drift off course. True friends risk misunderstanding to preserve your destiny. They care more about your becoming than your approval.

Three, the test of silence.

But hear me, child of Yah. Every misalignment carries a cost. Every wrong relationship drains the energy needed for your calling. Every misplaced loyalty delays your destiny. That’s why discernment is a sign of maturity. The wise don’t fight for every relationship. They filter every relationship.

And the third test, perhaps the hardest, is the test of silence. Who remains when the crowd disappears? Who still believes in you when the noise dies down?

Silence exposes motives faster than success. Some of you are in a season of divine silence right now, and you’re wondering why people have faded. Don’t panic. That’s not abandonment. That’s alignment being tested. Yah removes the noise so you can see who’s real.

Now let me remind you of a principle. You measure loyalty not by who celebrates you when you win, but by who intercedes for you when you fall. It’s easy to clap when you’re shining. It’s sacred to kneel when you’re broken. Alignment is revealed in adversity.

When you pass these tests—access, correction, and silence—your relationships become refined like gold. You know exactly who belongs in your circle because testing removes the counterfeit.

Every storm in your life doesn’t come to destroy; some come to discern. So thank Yah for the tests. Thank Him when people walk away. Thank Him when correction offends the wrong hearts. Because every exit clarifies your environment.

Purpose doesn’t lose in testing. It gains purity.

And remember this: the people who survive your tests are the ones you can build with in trust. Those who remain are not there by convenience. They are there by covenant. That’s how you know who’s truly aligned.

Now hear me. Evolution always exposes intention. Growth will always reveal who was really walking with you and who was just walking around you. Not everyone can handle the new version of you that purpose is producing.

Some people loved your old season because it made them comfortable. But the moment you start to grow, you threaten their comfort zone.

Let me tell you this. When you evolve, you don’t just outgrow habits—you outgrow people. Not because you’re better, but because your purpose has shifted to a higher frequency.

And hear this carefully: every promotion demands separation. You cannot move to the next level of destiny carrying yesterday’s attachments.

When Yoseph began to dream, his brothers started to despise him. Why? Because purpose always provokes jealousy in those who have settled. When you start to see more, talk bigger, plan deeper, those who have no vision will begin to resist yours.

But don’t be discouraged. It’s not personal. It’s prophetic. Their distance is confirmation that your dream is divine.

You see, people don’t always leave because they hate you. Sometimes they leave because they can’t identify with who you’re becoming. Your growth interrupts their comfort, and your change threatens their control.

And when that happens, don’t chase them. Thank Yah for them. Because every time someone exits, clarity enters.

Listen carefully. Evolution exposes emotional contracts. Many people signed up for who you were, not for who you’re becoming. They were loyal to your version, not your vision.

And when Yah starts to stretch you, the ones who were tied to your comfort will begin to disconnect from your calling. But hear me—that’s divine design, not disaster.

Let me give you a principle. Growth demands release. Every time you expand, you must let go of something. The tree cannot reach toward heaven until it releases its leaves from last season. Likewise, you cannot step into your destiny if you’re still nurturing relationships that expired in your history.

And don’t mistake movement for malice. When people walk away, sometimes it’s not rejection—it’s redirection. Yah is pruning your circle so that your fruit can multiply. You can’t bear more while being entangled with those who drain your roots.

I want you to remember this. Your evolution will offend those who refuse to grow. They’ll call your focus pride, your discipline arrogance, and your obedience rebellion. But that’s all right. They can only interpret you according to the level they stayed on.

When an eagle takes flight, the chickens always complain about the wind.

So stop apologizing for evolving. Stop shrinking to fit the comfort of those who chose smallness. Your growth is not a betrayal. It’s obedience. You are not leaving them behind. You are following your assignment forward.

When you evolve, you will lose company, but you will find covenant. You may lose attention, but you will gain assignment. You may lose comfort, but you will gain clarity.

And that, my friend, is the proof that you are becoming who you were born to be.

DAY 1: MANAGEMENT CREATES WEALTH — STOP SELLING TIME, START MANAGING TRUST

MANAGEMENT CREATES WEALTH, NOT HARD WORK

Write this down, underline it, and say it with me: Work does not attract money, management does. Again, work does not attract money, management does. One more time for your future: Work does not attract money, management does.

Now, here’s the hook for your mind tonight: Stop selling time, start managing trust. Everybody say it: Stop selling time, start managing trust. Why? Because your job pays you for time, but your King promotes you for trust. Time is a salary, trust is a signal. Increase does not respond to sweat alone, it responds to stewardship.

I came to rebuke an old idea and to release a new culture into your life. Some of you have been faithful at labor and still frustrated at lack because you have confused effort with management. Let me tell you a secret from my own life: I am out of debt, and I stayed out of debt not because I worked harder, but because I learned what I’m about to teach you tonight. I changed how I managed what I already had. If Elohiym cannot get it through you, He won’t get it to you.

Write that down next to your name. Tonight is not about hype, it is about a system. This is not entertainment, this is an audit. Before you leave this room, you will complete a live 20-minute wealth audit. You will score your present management, and you will walk out with a simple plan, a 90-day management plan to attract increase for purpose. That is my promise and your payoff.

I need you attentive, honest, and ready to repent — not a religious cry, but a mind change. Repent means change the way you’ve been thinking. We are trading hustle for order, anxiety for alignment, and clock-punching for Kingdom stewardship.

Let me ask the question that will govern this entire night: What should I manage today to attract increase? Not tomorrow, not when you make it — today, because increase answers to what you are managing, not to what you are imagining. The dream will wait for discipline.

Heaven has no supply-chain problem; it has a stewardship distribution system. The question in the courts of Heaven is never, “Do you want more?” The question is, “Can you be trusted with more?” The Scripture says — and read it aloud with me — 1 Corinthians 4:2: “Moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” Circle required. Faithfulness is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. That is a management word.

Some of you have been bargaining with Elohiym on overtime, and Elohiym has been waiting on you to become on-time managers. You picked up a second job, a third gig, and a fourth loan, and you are still tired and tied. Why? Because you are selling time. Time is a finite commodity. You cannot create more of it, but trust can multiply what time cannot.

Management turns little into much. I’ve seen janitors become landlords because they managed the broom better than supervisors manage budgets. I’ve seen a woman with two fish and five loaves of salary feed a family and seed a future because she managed fragments with thanksgiving and order. Don’t you tell me it cannot be done. Elohiym never asked you for what you don’t have. He always asks, “What is in your hand?” And then He watches how you manage it.

Write this down: Money is a tool, a test, and a testimony. It is a tool to build purpose. It is a test of trustworthiness. And it becomes a testimony that the King can follow resources through you.

That is why the Bible says, Proverbs 27:23 — read it with me — “Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds.” If Shalomah was speaking on your street, he would say, “Be diligent to know the state of your accounts, your subscriptions, your debt, your investments, your calendar, your pantry.” Why your pantry? Because mismanagement shows up in grocery bags, too. You bought lettuce to impress your health, but fed it to the garbage can. That’s not a demon, that’s disorder.

Let’s laugh at ourselves for a minute. Some of you have a belt with a man’s name bigger than your bank account. Elohiym bless you, we will fix that tonight.

Listen carefully: in a Kingdom, the highest honor is not position, it is trust. The King owns everything personally. Don’t panic, we will talk about that. But He distributes resources through managers. Heaven does not send money to owners; it sends it to stewards.

That means your car is not your car; it’s the King’s vehicle on assignment. Your paycheck is not your paycheck; it’s the King’s resource to test your priorities. Your time is the King’s breath rented to you for impact.

If you own nothing, you can lose nothing. If you manage well, you attract more to manage. That is why Yahusha could say, “To everyone who has, more will be given.” Has what? Has proven management.

So, what should you manage today? Write these words in a column; we will grade them later:
time, task, thoughts, treasure, tools, talents, and relationships.

Your time — does your calendar serve your calling, or do you serve your calendar?
Your task — are they written, ranked, and done, or do they chase you?
Your thoughts — poverty is often a pattern in the head before it is a pattern in the house.
Your treasure — do you tell your money where to go, or do you ask it where it went?
Your tools — the stuff you already own, is it maintained and multiplying value?
Your talents — are they invested, trained, and offered, or are they buried under fear and excuses?
Your relationships — are you cultivating high-trust partnerships, or consuming the wrong company?

Everything Elohiym increases, He inspects. Everything you inspect, you can improve. What you measure, you can multiply.

I can feel someone saying, “But pastor, I am working so hard.” I know. I respect your labor. The Bible honors diligence. But hear me as a father: toil without order is a treadmill. You sweat and stay in the same spot. It is not your hours that are the problem; it is your unmanaged minutes. It is not your gift that is missing; it is your system that is absent. The miracle you want is waiting behind the management you avoid.

Elohiym is not punishing you, He is protecting His assets. He will not put unlimited resources in the hands of an unfaithful steward. If He cannot get it through you, He will not get it to you.

Tonight, we’re going to remove the mystery. You will take a live wealth audit — 20 minutes — no shame, no performance, pure honesty. You will give yourself a score, you will see your gaps, and then we will design a simple 90-day management plan that proves to Heaven you can be trusted with more. Not a complicated spreadsheet to intimidate you, but a few non-negotiable rhythms: automate the righteous, eliminate the wasteful, and delegate the rest. Some of you are one habit away from a harvest.

Let me proclaim this over you as we set our intention. Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. That’s 3 John 1:2. The soul that prospers is a mind that manages. I prophesy that your days of cosmetic wealth are over, and your days of covenant stewardship have begun. You will not just look rich; you will be wealthy in wisdom, faithful in small things, and attractive to increase. Money will not be your master; it will be your messenger. It will carry the King’s purpose wherever He assigns it.

Put your hand on your heart and repeat after me:
YAHUAH, destroy my ungodly thinking. Give me Your culture of the Kingdom. Teach my hands to manage, my mind to order, and my heart to trust. I repent for selling time without stewarding trust. Make me faithful over little so I qualify for much. Amein.

Now, get ready. Take out your notes and write this headline across the top:
My trust management begins tonight.
Under it, write today’s date. Leave a blank space next to management score, because we will fill that in during the audit. And one more line: 90-day plan. That will be your covenant with the future.

We are not going to wait on chance; we’re going to partner with design. Work does not attract money, management does. Stop selling time, start managing trust. Your increase is waiting for your stewardship.

Now, let’s lay the foundation that holds the whole house. Write this down, underline it, and say it out loud with conviction: In a Kingdom, the King owns everything personally. You are a steward, not an owner. Again: In a Kingdom, the King owns everything personally. You are a steward, not an owner.

If that offends you, congratulations: you are being delivered from a culture that taught you to clutch what Heaven called you to manage.

Read it aloud with me, Psalm 24:1: “The earth is YAHUAH’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Underline the earth is YAHUAH’S — not the banks, not the markets, not your last name. The King owns it personally. Chaggai 2:8 backs Him up: “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says YAHUAH Tzeva’oth.” Write that reference in your margin.

If the silver and gold are His, then your account, your house, your car, your business plan, your brand — they are all the King’s property on loan for Kingdom assignment.

Everybody look at me. Ownership is a burden you were never built to carry. Stewardship is a grace you were designed to live in.

Say this with me: If I own nothing, I can lose nothing. Oh, that’ll make you sleep tonight. Fear is attached to ownership. Freedom is attached to stewardship. Generosity is the fruit of true stewardship. When I think I own it, I hoard. When I know He owns it, I distribute according to His will.

That’s why I keep telling you — and I want you to write it in big letters — If Elohiym cannot get it through you, He won’t get it to you. The King expands what flows. He restricts what clogs. Elohiym does not bless reservoirs. He blesses rivers.

Money — write this down — is an idea. Money is an assignment of trust from the King to accomplish His purposes on earth. Money is not moral or immoral; it is managerial. It reveals whether you respect the Owner. Paper changes, coins fade, numbers shift, but the idea remains. Resources carry a purpose stamp from the throne.

That’s why Yahusha spoke more about money than many other topics, because money is the most personal mirror of your management. He doesn’t need cash in Heaven. Streets are gold up there. He is checking if you can translate Heaven’s order into earth’s operations with what He temporarily places in your hands.

Let’s zoom out to the original blueprint. Read with me, Genesis 1:26. I’ll paraphrase for clarity: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion.” Stop there. Dominion is management authority, not ownership license. Then He continues in verse 28: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.” That’s colonization language. The King extended His country, Heaven, into this colony, earth, and sent governors called mankind to manage the territory to reflect His culture.

Write these three words in your notes: order, increase, generosity. That is Heaven’s culture. Order, because Elohiym is not the Author of confusion. Increase, because the King never invests for maintenance; He expects multiplication. Generosity, because the royal household overflows and shares without fear.

This means your house is a colony embassy. Your wallet is a government purse. Your calendar is a deployment roster. Your skills are Kingdom assets. You are here to mirror Heaven’s order on earth. The Owner says, “Manage My things by My culture for My purposes.”

That’s why David said in 1 Chronicles: “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things come of You, and of Your own have we given You.” Of Your own? We didn’t give Elohiym our stuff. We returned His property to its Owner for His agenda. That right there will end pride and ignite praise.

Some of you have been suffering under the stress of my mortgage, my car, my bills. Let me free you with a little holy humor. Miss two payments and watch my car blow you a kiss from the tow truck. You never owned it. You were managing a financial resource. The bank acts like a king; how much more the real King? The difference is, the true King is a Father. He’s not here to repossess; He’s here to reposition. He will restrict your flow when you act like an owner, and He will release your flow when you act like a steward.

Lift your right hand and declare this:
I resign from ownership. I accept my appointment as a faithful manager. Everything in my life is the King’s property on Kingdom assignment. Amein.

That declaration is not poetry, it is policy. Heaven honors policy. When you embrace stewardship, fear leaves, because loss isn’t loss — it is reallocation. When something exits your hand by obedience, it remains in your future as harvest under management. That’s why givers keep on gaining. They are trusted distribution centers in the Kingdom economy.

Now, let me press this into your daily life. Change your labels. On your budget, write at the top: The King’s resources under my management. On your phone, put a small note that says: Owned by the King, used for purpose. Look at your closet. Don’t be mad at me now and ask, “Which of these clothes are on assignment?” If it’s not on assignment, it’s in rebellion.

I told one brother once, “The suit you’re wearing is wearing you. Sell two, bless a young man with one, and invest the rest.” He laughed, prayed, obeyed, and six months later the promotion he’d been praying for found the order he finally practiced. Management attracts more to manage.

Here’s a practical test that will keep you honest. Every dollar you oversee must answer three questions:
What is your purpose?
How long will you be here?
Where will you multiply?

If that dollar cannot articulate purpose — pay this bill to keep covenant, seed this cause to advance the Besorah, acquire this asset to produce future cash flow — then that dollar is unemployed. And unemployed money causes mischief. Idle cash becomes impulse. Impulse becomes debt. And debt becomes slavery.

Mishlei 22:7 still works: “The borrower is servant to the lender.” Kingdom citizens are managers who turn money into mission, not slaves who trade freedom for fashion.

Let me give you a simple picture. A conduit has two ends. One end receives from the source. The other end delivers to the destination. If you block the delivery end with greed, Elohiym closes the supply end with wisdom. If you open the delivery end with generosity and planning, Elohiym opens the supply end with pleasure. That’s why I keep declaring: If He cannot get it through you, He won’t get it to you.

Tonight, some of you are turning your life from a cup to a channel. Cups get filled once and sit. Channels flow continually.

I feel a prophetic nudge for someone who’s been afraid to start that small venture because you think you might lose your savings. Listen to me as a father: you cannot lose what you never owned. You can only mismanage what you were trusted with. Go to the King. Ask for His purpose. Design the smallest faithful step and move. The King funds purpose, not ego. He underwrites order, not hype. Put it under stewardship, and watch peace replace panic.

Before we move on, let’s read one more time together slowly, like citizens reading their constitution:
“The earth is YAHUAH’S, and the fullness thereof.”
Breathe. Ownership settled.

Now, write this closing line in your notes and box it in:
Wealth is the King’s property entrusted to me to mirror Heaven’s order, increase, and generosity on earth.

That is our foundation. From here, every instruction, every audited item, every 90-day rhythm will prove one thing to the Owner: You can trust me to manage what’s Yours for what You want. And when the King finds a faithful manager, He does what kings do — He promotes.

Our session today is going to be focusing on the theme Rediscovering Kingdom Citizenship Authority.

We’re going to be dealing with understanding the power of civic rights. These terms probably have no connection to your religious experience because you probably came from a religious background in your church where such words like civic and rights are not a part of the sermons. I wouldn’t even talk about the word citizenship. We are literally focused so much on membership we know very little about citizenship.

In other words, we are more committed to obeying Sha’ul than obeying Yahusha. We get our gospel from the apostle Sha’ul instead of getting it from Yahusha. We quote Sha’ul more than Yahusha. Sha’ul is not the source. Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is the source.

So we’re going to focus specifically then on law-abiding citizenship.

There’s a term you know well in your secular society: law-abiding citizens. This is a principle in countries.

Every one of you wants to have power and authority, but I’m going to give you the secret right now to power and authority in a country.

Power and authority in any nation come from two words:

Citizenship and law.

Citizenship is a product of a constitution.

Law is a product of a constitution.

But law is created to protect the citizen of the constitution to have rights to the promises in the constitution.

Law is very important.

And it’s law and citizenship that give you authority.

I’m going to prove that today.

First we have to clear up something in religious people’s minds.

Not you — the one right behind you.

Religious people need to change their thinking.

They must repent.

First of all let me state that the Bible is not about religion.

The Bible is about a national state.

Write this down please.

The Bible is about a national state.

That state is called the Kingdom of Shamayim.

It is a state.

We read in the Bible in the last session a literal statement that is made by the scriptures which says they were looking for a country — a heavenly one (Hebrews).

Number two.

Yahusha Ha’Mashiach came to restore the colony of the state of heaven on earth.

A state is a nation.

A nation is a country.

A kingdom is a state and a country ruled by a king.

Only kingdoms have colonies.

I was born in one in 1954.

A colony is a distant territory controlled by a kingdom and ruled by the king from a distance.

I lived in one until 1973.

We hardly ever saw the king we were under.

We hardly ever saw the queen we were under.

But every day we sang to them.

Little kids in school we had to sing to the king and queen every day.

And we sang songs like this:

“Yahuah save our gracious king

Long live our noble queen

Yahuah save the queen”

Born to rule over us.

Righteous and glorious.

Long to reign over us.

Yahuah save the king.

We had to sing it every morning.

I grew up in a colony.

This is why you don’t need to see Yahusha to sing to Him.

Even though He’s far away right now seated at the right hand of power, you are still required to sing to Him every morning.

That’s a colony.

In 1973 we declared independence from our kingdom.

When we did that, the white man who was a governor from England — who was the personification of the king and queen in our country — who lived among us not far from my house in a big pink house with a big wall — he was the queen and king’s representative in our country.

Every single second he lived with us.

But he was from the throne room of England.

And the day we declared independence instantly he became illegal and he had to go back quickly to England.

When you declare independence from a kingdom, the governor has to leave.

Elohim sent a Governor to earth.

Matter of fact, the first person to come to a colony sent by a king is the governor.

Then the king sends his citizens to live there to bring the culture to the place.

The first person Elohim sent to earth was the Governor.

It’s in your Bible.

Bereshith (Genesis) 1:2

The first person that came to earth was the Ruach Ha’Qodesh.

And the reason why the Governor comes to the colony is to bring order and to bring the kingdom’s culture and laws and values to the territory.

The Spirit of Elohim moved upon the earth.

Why?

He’s the Governor.

Then the citizens came in verse 26.

“Let us make man,” Elohim says, “in our own image and let them dominate the planet.”

The Ruach Ha’Qodesh was here before you.

And the Bible says when Adam declared independence from Elohim in chapter 3 the Spirit of Elohim could no longer strive with man.

He went back to heaven.

And earth became an independent state without Elohim.

Elohim calls it sheep going astray each one to their own way.

Yahusha calls it a prodigal son leaving his family demanding his inheritance.

But when Adam and Chavah declared independence from Elohim in Bereshith 3, Elohim’s immediate response was:

“I have a plan.”

He said to the one who instigated the independence — HaSatan — He said:

“I’ll make you a promise.

I’m coming back to that territory Myself.

And the same woman you used to destroy this situation, I’m going to use the same woman.

And I’m going to come into her womb Myself.

I’m going to come back to the territory as a King Myself.

I’m going to take back My territory Myself.

And I’m going to crush your head.”

He says, “Myself.”

I’m coming to restore the colony.

The state of heaven on earth.

That’s why Yahusha came.

He never came here to start a religion.

He came here to bring a country and a government back.

That’s why He had to be filled with the Ruach Ha’Qodesh.

The Ruach Ha’Qodesh is the Governor.

Let me tell you who Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is in one sentence:

Yahusha Ha’Mashiach is the King bringing the Governor back to the territory.

There cannot be any colony without a Governor.




Yahusha Ha’Mashiach really didn’t come to earth mainly to die on the stake, and we have made that the issue. What earth lost was the Governor. Think for a minute.

So Yahusha’s number one goal was not the execution stake. His number one goal was to get the Governor back in the territory.

When you are doing an assignment, you don’t leave until you are finished. Am I right?

So Yahusha came to earth. He started a ministry. He lasted three and a half years. He healed the sick, but He stayed. He raised the dead, but He stayed. He cast out demons, but He didn’t leave earth. He cleansed a leper, but He didn’t leave. Why? Work’s not finished.

He went on trial. He stayed.

He was judged as a criminal. His judgment was not a religious judgment. He wasn’t against religion at all. As a matter of fact, if you study His trial, His trial was about insurrection. It means crime against a state. He wasn’t tried as a priest or a prophet.

As a matter of fact, when He first went to Pilate, Pilate said to the religious people, “Why did you bring Him to me? If He’s a prophet, you all judge Him. That’s your court.”

They said, “No, He ain’t no prophet. He claims to be a king.”

Pilate said, “Okay, we got to talk to Him now.”

You understand the difference?

You keep making Him a religious man. He didn’t found a religion. His problem was He brought a government back, and according to Rome there’s no other government but Rome.

So Pilate said to them, “Are you telling me He said He’s a king?”

They said, “Yes.”

He said, “He’s a king. He’s competing with Caesar.”

And Pilate asked Him a question: “Are you king?”

And Yahusha answered very plainly.

Yahusha said, “You are right in saying I am a king. For this very reason I came into the world.”

Now the trial is on.

And Pilate realized that his job is in danger because his job is to keep peace in the whole of Palestine. That’s the territory that Caesar set him to control. He’s the governor in that part of the colony.

And the report can’t get back to Rome that Pilate is allowing another local king to take over the territory.

So he said that. “Yahusha, are You king?”

And Mashiach understood Pilate’s fear, and He said, “Yes, I am a king, but don’t worry. My kingdom is not of this world.”

So don’t panic.

When the people heard that answer, they became angry again because they realized that Pilate was falling in love with the guy and might let Him off.

So the people said, “If you let Him go, Pilate, we will report you to Caesar.”

Then they said, “Because we have no king but Caesar.”

That was the issue.

Stop making Yahusha a prophet. Prophets have no kingdoms. Only kings have kingdoms.

Mashiach is a politician. He’s a king.

When Pilate heard the people say that they were going to rise up and send a message to Rome, Pilate went to his wife and said, “I’m confused. This guy is a nice guy. He said He’s a king, but at least it ain’t our territory. And I find no fault in this guy. Matter of fact, He’s good for me. He’s feeding the poor. We ain’t got to pay for them no more. Healing the sick. We ain’t got to give no more welfare and no medication to these people no more.”

In other words, Mashiach was a blessing to Pilate. Pilate probably liked Him.

His wife said, “Yeah, I think you better let that guy go. Something about Him I like. Don’t touch Him.”

And he went and washed his hands.

Then he went back out and took Him before the people, and the people cried, “Pilate, if you let Him go, we report you.”

He said, “What do you want me to do with Him then?”

They said, “Crucify Him.”

Now, I want to show you that He didn’t come ready to be crucified as the main issue.

So He went to the execution stake. He died. Fine.

He still didn’t leave.

He went back to the tomb for three days. He still wouldn’t leave. He came back in the body, came out. Job still ain’t finished.

So you thought the stake was the job. You missed the job.

His main point was He came to bring the Governor back.

He’s the King.

So He said, “I can’t leave yet. I got some work I got to finish my work.”

And He called it the promise of the Father.

The Father did not promise the execution stake. Yahusha said that. He said the Father promised the Ruach Ha’Qodesh would come back.

So He couldn’t leave until the job was finished.

So He said, “Meet Me in fifty days.” That’s what Pentecost means, fifty. Fifty days after the Pesach. “Meet in this room.”

And He said, “Wait. I’m going to give you not just the Governor. I’m going to give you authority and power. The Governor is not just going to be present. He’s going to empower you to bring the culture back.”

Here comes the Ruach Ha’Qodesh on the fiftieth day, and He fills everybody with power and gives them back their home language.

And guess what? After that, He left.

Job completed.

When a king sits down — you don’t know about this, right? Okay, please buy the books. There are certain principles in kingdoms that you need to learn.

When the king stands up, that means his kingdom is not in order.

Let me say it again. Write it down.

That’s a principle for kingdoms.

Remember, I was born in a kingdom. I understand this stuff.

When a king stands up, that means his kingdom is not in order. Something is wrong.

So when a king sits down, that means everything is in order.

Now, a king never sits until everything is in order in his kingdom. That’s a kingdom law.

The Bible says Yahusha Ha’Mashiach left the earth and He is now seated. That’s an important statement. You all just read it here in democracy and don’t understand it.

Seated is a powerful word in a kingdom.

Seated means it’s finished. I’ve done it. Everything’s in order now. The kids can pick up the spoils.

What have we been doing for 1,800 years?

Hanging around the stake.

You’re supposed to be seated with Mashiach in heavenly places, not hanging around the stake.

The stake has done its work. You’ve been forgiven and cleansed. The temple is clean.

Get busy taking back the territory.

See, religion has destroyed your mind to the point where all you think about is the means and you never understand the end.

Write this down:

The Kingdom of Elohim is not a religion. It’s a country.

If you read Yeshayahu (Isaiah) chapter 9, it says this:

“For unto you a child will be born, unto you a son will be given. His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty El, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

He’s talking about the coming of who? The Messiah. The King.

The next verse says, “And the government” — not a government — “the government shall be upon His shoulders.”

He’s bringing back what? Not a religion. He’s bringing back a government.

The government, not a government, which means that the one you lost, that’s the one He’s bringing back.

That’s why He had to be carrying the Ruach Ha’Qodesh.

The King is the government, and the Governor is the government’s representative.

He had both of them.

He was King carrying the Ruach Ha’Qodesh.

That’s why He said to them many times, He would stand next to them talking, and He would say these words:

“The Kingdom of Elohim is with you and shall be in you soon.”

In other words, He was carrying the Governor, and He was a King. He said, “But He can’t come in you yet because I got to clean you up first.”

He said, “It is therefore important for Me to get away from here, to go to the stake. I got to open this stuff up, because if I don’t go,” He says, “the Spirit cannot come in you. My leaving is important to you.”

He says, “It’s better that I go away from you. Otherwise the Governor can’t live in you. He’s trapped in Me right now. I got Him locked up in one body. But if you let Me go,” He says, “and I get to clean you guys up, then greater works you do.”

Here’s why.

Let me explain the greater works.

He didn’t say better works. He said greater works.

Greater works means, “I am limited to this body. I am limited to Israel.”

Mashiach only left Israel once in His whole life, and that’s when His mother and father took Him to Egypt as a child.

He never left.

Which means that the Ruach Ha’Qodesh was trapped in one body, trapped in one country.

And He said, “But if I go away, and I get to clean you guys up, man, listen to Me, the Ruach Ha’Qodesh gets to live in all the temples. There will be two billion temples all over the world, different colors, different languages, different locations, and I’ll be everywhere at the same time. Greater works.”

And instead of just two hands, I’ll have two billion hands.

Instead of just two feet, I’ll have twenty billion feet.

I can lay hands on a million people at the same time, not just one blind man.

Greater works.

It’s a government.

Write this down:

The foundation of all nations is constitutional law.

If the Kingdom of Shamayim is a country, then it must be built on constitution and law.

And that leads me to my next point.

The message of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach was the return of the state of heaven on earth.

He came to bring back the constitutional powers of heaven to earth.

He came to make sure that the culture of heaven could come back to the planet.

He came to recolonize earth with heaven.

That’s why Yahusha came.

Nothing to do with religion. Nothing to do with religion.

He came to bring the Kingdom of Elohim back to earth.

Let’s take a look at a statement He made about Him.

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4:23, a verse you never saw before.

Let’s read it together:

“And Yahusha went throughout all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and preaching what? The good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease among the people.”

He went everywhere with this one message: the country is here, the kingdom is here.

Look at Mattithyahu 5:3:

“Blessed are those who are spiritually bankrupt, empty, poor, vacant. Why? Because to them belongs the Kingdom of Shamayim.”

He said if man is spiritually poor, he doesn’t need religion. He needs the Kingdom, because that’s what you lost.

That’s why your religion ain’t satisfying you.

Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, futurism, and Christianity too.

I was born in church. I landed in a pew from my mother’s womb. My father was a Baptist pastor all my life. I grew up in the choir playing the piano. And believe me, we faked it for years pretending to be happy.

That’s why religion keeps you so busy, because you are empty. So they keep you in programs to make sure you don’t remember your emptiness. All these programs, programs, programs.

Mashiach says the only thing that will fill that empty spiritual void is the Kingdom of Shamayim. That’s what you lost.

Look at this one in the book of Mattithyahu 10:7:

Yahusha was speaking: “As you go, preach this message.” What message? “The Kingdom of Shamayim has arrived.”

Mattithyahu 12:28:

“But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of Elohim, then what has arrived? The Kingdom of Elohim has come upon us.”

The impact of the culture of heaven on earth is what He’s talking about.

When a demon is cast out or the sick is healed or the dead is raised, that’s a sign that the country of Elohim is in the neighborhood. It’s returned to the culture.

So healing is nothing special to Elohim. It’s evidence of the presence of the culture of heaven.

Can I pray this way?

You ain’t supposed to be sick if you’re in the Kingdom of Elohim.

Say it. “I ain’t supposed to be sick if I’m in the Kingdom of Elohim.”

So when a disease attacks your body or a cold or flu begins to come on, your prayer should be this: “This is not my culture.”

Speak to it.

Healing is not an incident, not an event. It’s a culture.

Mattithyahu 13:11:

And Yahusha replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of what? The Kingdom of Shamayim has been given to you.”

He’s given you some principles and laws to live in the kingdom now, and they are secret to those who are outside, but not to you who are a citizen.

Look at Mattithyahu 6:33:

“But seek first the Kingdom of Elohim and His righteousness, and all these things that you need will be added to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Relax. Go make a tall glass of lemonade and enjoy your life.

He says, “Give Elohim a hand for peace.”

The Kingdom tastes like honey.

When you understand it, it tastes so sweet. It makes so much sense.

Religion is confusing.

His first public statement, Mattithyahu 4:17:

“From that time forward Yahusha began to preach, ‘Repent.’”

Change your thinking. Why? “For the Kingdom of Shamayim has arrived.”

Mattithyahu 4:23. Now this one you never saw:

“Yahusha went throughout all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease among the people.”

Notice He never healed first and then preached. He preached and then healed.

Check it in all those scriptures.

He declared the Kingdom first and then proved it was present.

Healing should not be something we should be running after. Healing and miracles should be running after us.

This must be the evidence that we have arrived.

How have the mighty fallen.

Okay, so all countries have citizenship.

And we get to the meat right now.

I can’t finish this. I know I can’t.

I’ll just give you enough to disturb you.

Everybody say, “Heaven.”

I’ve proven to you that heaven is a country, right?

Countries don’t have membership.

So please write these statements down. These are very important statements.

Countries have citizenship.

So here’s what I want you to remember. I want to show you what I’m going to be focusing on all year.

If you want to sign up for my CD every week, you can sign up for it. I’ll send you a CD every week of what I’m teaching live, because once you get this in your mind, your whole life changes.

Write this down:

The greatest gift a nation can give a citizen is citizenship.

The greatest gift a nation can give is citizenship.

I’m going to prove it right now.

Number two.

The greatest power a nation can give is citizenship.

It’s a gift and a power.

Number three.

The greatest right a nation can give is citizenship.

Very important.

And number four.

The greatest judgment a nation can mete on a citizen is cancellation of their citizenship.

And that’s what happened to us in Bereshith 3.

We turned our backs on the government, and Elohim canceled our citizenship.

When you cancel citizenship, you withdraw the gift, the power, and the rights of authority.

What makes you so dangerous in your country right now is the fact that you are a citizen.

It’s a gift to be born in America. You automatically become a citizen. That’s a gift. You didn’t look for that. It was given to you by the government, the constitution.

Secondly, the power of citizenship.

Your power comes from citizenship, not from membership.

Citizens are powerful. They are dangerous.

You’ve got 21 million illegal immigrants in America right now. That’s the count they have. Might be more. Twenty-one million. And the government has been trying to figure out what to do with them for the last 20 years. And every government keeps arguing in your country in Congress about them.

What do we do with these people?

Do you know why there’s so much argument?

Because when you give citizenship to a person, it’s not a piece of paper. It’s power. It’s right to even criticize you.

It’s dangerous to be a citizen.

That’s why all governments control citizenship. All of them. They’re afraid because citizenship is power and rights.

Write this down please.

Philippians 3. Let’s prove that you are a citizen of heaven.

It says, Philippians 3:19, “Their mind is on earthly things. That’s other folks who are outside. But our citizenship is where? Registered in heaven.”

He says, “And we are waiting for our King to come back because He is bringing everything under His control through what? His citizens.”

Now He wants you to bring things under control by His power in you as a citizen.

In your country He wants education to be under His kingdom control. He wants politics in your city to be under kingdom control. He wants education. He wants media. He wants internet. He wants everything in your country to be influenced by kingdom culture, kingdom values, kingdom morals — not a religion.

We’re not Muslims trying to take over government. We are like yeast. We just influence things.

Write this down. It’s not a verse.

Ephesians chapter 2. Read out loud please:

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens of Elohim’s people and members of His household.”

Okay, two words to write down please: citizenship and membership.

Countries don’t have members. Families have members.

The word household means family.

Elohim has a family. You are members of Elohim’s family. That’s why He says you are called the sons of Elohim.

Members have no power.

Being a member of your family doesn’t make you powerful with Washington.

What makes you powerful with Washington is your citizenship rights.

The church has been so preoccupied with being a member of Elohim’s body, they don’t know their rights as citizens.

Membership benefits you because you know the Judge — that’s your Daddy — and you know the Lawyer — that’s your Counselor.

But it doesn’t benefit you when you start making demands on the government. You need constitutional rights. You need citizenship.

So citizenship is your legal status. Membership is your family status.

The King is your big Brother. His name is Yahusha. But first He’s a King, then a Brother.

You don’t get things from Mashiach because He’s your Brother. You get them because you are a citizen.

Let me give you an example.

Mashiach came into a temple, to the synagogue one day, and all the big pastors and bishops from Atlanta were sitting up there, all the preachers from Bradenton were there with their robes and everything. And here He comes in this little casual robe. He sits down, and of course they recognize Him as a rabbi.

Rabbi means master teacher.

So He sits down, and they’re going on with this meeting, reading the Torah and all this stuff, and He’s sitting there observing this thing. He’s a troublemaker.

And the Bible says He stood up. Every rabbi is allowed to read a couple of verses, so He gets up, probably reads a few verses, and the Bible says something weird. It says, “And there was a woman in the crowd who was hunched over.”

Watch Him now. He’s going to cause problems here.

It says He fastened His eyes on her. That means He stopped reading and went like this. In other words, she was like this. He saw this person’s head because she couldn’t look up. She probably had osteoporosis, that problem in the back, so she had to sit like this.

And He noticed that everybody was up except the woman.

So the Bible says He fastened His eyes on her.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with her.”

And He realized, wow, she’s in bondage by this disease.

So He looks at her. Obviously everybody tried to look at what He was looking at, so everyone turns.

And then they’ve got the woman, and the bishops and the pastors got excited. The Bible said they said to each other, “It’s a Sabbath day. What’s He going to do now? Wrong day. Sit down. Don’t fool with our message and our meeting today. Don’t you interrupt our meeting now.”

You know, they’re talking to each other.

He says, “What’s He going to do now? What’s He going to do now?”

Now watch Him. I want to prove to you that He doesn’t help her because she’s a member of the body of Mashiach.

He knows that they are whispering behind Him, so the Bible says He said out loud, “Is that woman a daughter of Abraham?”

He goes directly to a contract.

Legal stuff.

He’s not saying that’s My creation and she’s My daughter. He says, “Isn’t she in the contract?”

When you come to pray, anytime you pray, always pray, you’ve got to bring your Bible. You pray the Bible back to Elohim. This is the contract.

Now He’s talking to the guys behind Him, and He knows He got them.

He said, “Isn’t she a daughter of Abraham?”

They said, “Yes, sir.”

Good.

Then the contract says that the seed of Abraham in the contract legally is to be blessed, and none of the diseases of Egypt are to be upon any of them.

And based on scientific studies, they found osteoporosis in Pharaoh’s mummies.

So He shifted to rights.

He uses a word that only judges can use.

He said, “Ought not this woman…”

It’s the strongest word in English language.

“Ought” means right.

Ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, be set free from this infirmity? Not because I like her, because of the contract.

He says, “Lift your hands right now. Say, ‘Yahuah, heal me now. I have a right to be healed because I am in the contract.’”

That’s how you get healed.

You don’t beg Elohim for nothing.

David says, “I’ve never seen the righteous begging.”

Citizenship.

Write this down, and I’ll give you the secret:

Citizenship — the principles of citizenship.

Please write these things down because you’ve got to go back and study these for the next three months, and they will set you free. And when you read the Bible it’s going to make sense.

The Bible makes sense when you understand kingdom concepts.

Number one.

Citizenship is the key to empowerment.

Number two.

Citizenship provides legitimate access to all the rights and privileges of the state.

“Ought not this woman who is in the contract be healed?”

The contract heals.

Number three.

Citizenship is the source of individual personal authority.

That’s why that book on authority is so important. Please read it. It took me 27 years to write that book because I had to test it. I had to prove it in my own life.

The power of citizenship authority.

And it gives you two types of authority.

It gives you personal authority, and it gives you corporate authority.

Citizens are powerful creatures.

That’s why you can pick up the phone and make the police come to your house, because you are a citizen. You can stand before the whole government and demand your rights from government, and they can’t stop you. Why? Because it gives you personal power as a citizen.

The average person in this room is an ignorant citizen of America.

You know why? You don’t know your rights.

Do you know why? Because you haven’t read the constitution.

The greatest enemy of man is not the devil. It’s not even demons. According to Yahusha, God the Father, the King, He said our greatest enemy is this: “My people are destroyed, not because of the devil, but because of a lack of knowledge.”

You don’t know your rights.

Buy a new Bible every year.

This is my 2011 Bible here because I never read one Bible twice, because when you read a Bible you make notes in the Bible, and the problem is the notes you make the first time block any further revelation.

So I read the Bible through every year, total Bible every year.

I read it every year because I must know my rights.

That’s why Elohim can’t give you revelation. You’re stuck with the notes.

Every time you read a verse, the notes on the side make you keep repeating the same notes. Elohim can’t give you fresh revelation.

His blessings are new every morning. Don’t get stuck on the old one from last year.

Somebody says, “I’ve got a Bible that’s my Bible. I had it for 40 years.”

That’s stupid. That means you’re stuck for 40 years with the same notes.

Don’t be proud of that.

I’ve got over 30 Bibles in my house.

Every year I read them.

When I die, folks are going to find my Bibles. They can get revelation. They can write books after I die from just my notes in my Bibles, because every year I get different revelation on the Kingdom.

The Bible is like an onion. It has layers. You don’t get stuck with one layer. Elohim knows more than He told you.

So go to the bookstore when I’m finished, clean the Bibles out, and start anew. This is my 2011 Bible. Start reading and watch Elohim blow your mind.

Number four.

Citizenship is the manifestation of the contract between the government and the people.

You are a citizen of heaven, it says. It gives you power. It also gives you access to all the privileges.

That’s why the people in this country who are illegal immigrants want citizenship. They want access to health care, education, security, support, and they don’t want to be running around hiding anymore.

When you have citizenship, it gives you access.

The power of a citizen is unknown in the church because we are members of His family.

I like what the centurion said to Yahusha.

He said, “Come and touch my servant.”

Then he said, “No, wait a minute. I’ve been watching You. You understand authority.”

He said, “Now I work for a king too, Caesar. And I too am a man under authority, and because I work for a king and I have his authority, I can actually send people to do things, and they hear the king’s voice.”

So I say to one, “Go here,” he goes. “Come,” he comes.

He said authority gives you the power to give instructions.

“I’m a citizen of Rome. I’ve got power. I’m under the government.”

He said, “So You don’t need to come to my house anymore. Use Your rights of Your authority. You’re under whoever it is You’re under. Just say the word.”

Lift your hand up high right now. I feel the anointing on me.

“I am under the authority of heaven right now, and I declare every financial bondage is broken now in Yahusha’s Name.”

You’ve got to respond like you receive it.

I just spoke to you with authority.

Act like you receive it. Give Elohim a thank you right now.

I say act like you receive it.

I break the financial bondage over your life. Go, in Yahusha’s authority.

Don’t allow prophetic words to pass you by.

I am under the authority of the Kingdom of Shamayim right now ministering to you government civic power.

Take it and eat it. It’s yours.

Write this down.

The power of citizenship.

Number one.

Citizenship is the legal covenant between the individual and the government.

The Bible says your citizenship is in heaven.

That means Elohim has given you a legal contract between heaven. That’s why He said, “Wherever any two citizens come together and agree on something, whatever they bind on earth, heaven’s got to bind. Whatever they loose or allow on earth, heaven’s got to allow it.”

That’s the power.

You get what happens here. You control.

He says, “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Shamayim. Whatever you lock up on earth, heaven’s got to lock it up. Whatever you apply, you’ve got the power.”

I’m giving you the key authority. I’m giving you the laws, the principles. You control what happens on earth.

He says a legal contract.

Write this down.

Only nations have legal components of citizenship.

Write it down. It’s very important.

Because until your mind changes from thinking religion to kingdom, you will never succeed in Elohim’s country.

If only nations have citizenship, and you are a citizen of heaven, then the Kingdom of Elohim is not a religion, because religions don’t have citizenship. Religions have membership, not citizenship.

Where are you from?

“I am a member of the Baptist church.”

Okay. What are you a citizen of?

It’s different.

We are so good at being members. That’s why we’re powerless.

If your family is poor, you’re poor.

Let me say it again. I’m talking physically now.

If your family is a poor family, are you in the family? You’re poor.

In 1954 I slept on the floor. We were poor. We lived in a place called Bain Town, the lowest income area of my island. Wooden house on four big rocks.

I kept confessing, “I am blessed. I am blessed.”

And I kept sleeping on the floor on a rug with roaches.

Confession didn’t do it.

I had to get a revelation that I’m a citizen. I have no right to sleep on this floor.

We enjoy poverty almost as a holy badge.

“But we don’t want too much, you know. We want to stay humble. We don’t want a lot because we just want to stay close to Elohim.”

Dumbest theology I’ve ever heard in my life.

The Catholics call it holy poverty. That’s a theology in the Catholic church because it keeps you humble, they say.

Well, here’s my problem.

If you read the Bible from cover to cover, anyone who ever kept company with Elohim became wealthy.

Stop with Abraham.

You don’t hang out with Elohim and stay poor.

The Bible says David took out of his personal account and paid for the temple. No taxes. It says his place, the guy.

How can a man take his personal checkbook and finance the temple for Elohim?

And here you are talking about, “I’m humble and I love Yahuah.”

You mean you love Yahuah?

What’s amazing is Abraham never prayed for things. He submitted to the covenant, the contract.

Lift your right hand right now.

“So shall you, so shall I be with you in Yahusha’s Name. From this beginning of this day, you shall live under a covenant, a contract with your government, and the government shall supply your needs according to its riches in the heavenly places.”

You can’t take no more, so I’ve got to go.

Read Ephesians please, chapter 2 again out loud:

“Consequently you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens of Elohim’s people and members of this household.”

You are citizens of heaven.

So this is my scripture for the whole year. I want you to make it yours.

Philippians 3:19. Read:

“Their minds are on earthly things, but your citizenship is in heaven. He brings everything under His control, and He will transform your lowly sickly body to be like His.”

Citizenship rights.

Look at Luke 10 out loud. Read:

“I give you authority,” He says, “to trample on snakes and scorpions and all the power of the enemy.”

What a promise. Hallelujah. What a promise.

“I give you what? Authority.”

Authority is not the same as power.

Authority is rights.

Authority is permission to use power.

Please get the book out there, because you’ve got to study this stuff. Turn the TV off and read. Get your brain stretched. You need knowledge. Don’t let ignorance become your friend. It’ll destroy you.

Authority means your permission to use power.

“I give you authority to exercise your citizenship,” He says, “and to trample upon what? Snakes and scorpions.”

These are Hebraic idioms. An idiom is a symbol that means something else. If you study the Bible, this is used many times. Scorpions and snakes represent demonic powers, satanic powers, all satanic powers. It could be political, social, economic, physical, medical.

He says, “I’m going to give you authority to exercise your power as a citizen over all powers of the enemy.”

You shouldn’t be under any circumstance after this conference. You should be on top of them.

Whatever’s over your head is still under His feet. So sit where He sat so that it can be under yours too.

You are citizens and you have authority.

I call it Kingdom Citizenship Authority.

I’ve got a lot more to say to you, but you can’t take it anymore, so let me just give you a conclusion.

Write this down. I want you to go back and share this with your family.

The three most important words you’re going to learn this year:

Kingdom. Citizenship. Authority.

Kingdom is defined as a national government ruling a state. The Kingdom of Elohim is a sovereign King ruling territory. It’s a country.

Citizenship is legal status with constitutional rights and privileges, and that Bible in your lap is your constitution. It gives you rights and privileges.

Authority is defined as the personal right to exercise power through alignment with constitutional law.

The last one is most important.

You can be in a country and still not have authority because you can actually lose authority if you don’t align yourself with the laws of the country.

There are many citizens of America right now who have no authority. They’re locked up in prison.

Why? They violated law.

When you violate law, you cancel your authority to use the power of citizenship.

It’s called sin.

The church is weak because we have law-breaking citizens, not law-abiding citizens.

Your private life is a mess, and then you come in church and ask Elohim to bless you.

You are a law-breaking citizen trying to get rights.

You’re preaching the gospel in the pulpit every Sunday, and the organist is your lover, male or female, and then you ask Elohim to pay your light bill.

You have no right to demand nothing from Elohim if you are breaking the law.

Any country works that way.

You can’t go to the government and ask the government to give you money and you owe taxes. You broke the law.

Some of you in this room have not paid tithes for ten years and ask Elohim to bless you. Then you send money to, you know, somebody on TV expecting to get a blessing, and Elohim is saying, “You can’t get blessed with this. This is debt. You’re paying. This ain’t seed.”

Elohim calls it robbing.

He said, “Why have you robbed Me? You haven’t paid your taxes.”

Tithes are taxes. It’s a law.

This funny religion we’ve got now.

People tell you, “Send them money.”

Listen to me.

Make sure you take care of your local house first.

You pay your taxes to your local assembly, right? That’s an embassy of the government, and your job is to pay local taxes to take care of maintenance of the country, that there’ll be meat in the house.

Then you take offerings and invest them in different things.

You break the law and ask Elohim to bless you.

Even America wouldn’t do that.

Law-abiding citizens.

That’s why all last year I taught on law. I tried to bring it back into the church because the church is so full of grace, it is lawless.

I’m talking from the bishops all the way down to the usher, living in sin.

I have to keep my life clean to protect my access.

Don’t you get it?

The next time somebody asks you to sin with them, your answer should be, “I can’t break my access.”

Let me close with this, because you can’t take it anymore.

Turn to Mattithyahu chapter 6 in your Bible.

Hallelujah.

Mattithyahu chapter 6.

Everybody say, “Obedience.”

This is very important.

Do you know why you stop at a red light?

I must come back and teach some more of this because the church is a mess.

We stop at red lights in your secular country and don’t stop at red lights in Elohim’s country.

First the Ruach Ha’Qodesh puts a caution light up.

Don’t go with your ex-husband.

You can’t sleep with this man. He’s not your husband.

Just a caution light.

Don’t go to this appointment with him. Caution light.

And then on your way there He puts the red light up.

Please stop.

And you keep going.

And you sit with someone in a hotel room you’re not married to, and Elohim says, “Heaven has shut down on you.”

We stop at red lights.

You know what’s amazing about law? The law never makes you keep it. Red lights have never stopped the car yet.

Fix your life this year.

Fix it from this conference, this meeting.

Get your life sorted out.

Cut off bad relationships.

Cancel habits.

Shut down stupid sites on pornography.

Shut out people who can’t go with you to the next level.

Leave some family.

Get away from things.

You better get your life sorted out.

You want Elohim to bless you? Line up with the law.

Be a law-abiding citizen, and you’ll never have to look over your shoulder to see if a cop is coming.

Do what Elohim says, and you can sleep at night.

Can your wife answer your phone every time, sir? That’s the question.

Can your husband answer your telephone in your absence?

Are you breaking the law?

When you stop at a red light, it is called in the Bible — write this way down — righteousness.

Righteousness. Write it down.

R-I-G-H-T. You see it in there? It has to do it right.

Righteousness means alignment with law and authority.

Righteousness means what? Alignment with law and authority.

Write it down.

Secondly, righteousness means right positioning with authority and law.

Right positioning with authority and law.

That’s called right positioning.

It’s called righteousness.

Right standing.

Standing in the right place is righteousness.

It has to be lined up with authority.

In other words, keeping laws and standards in order to remain in right relationship with something — the government.

That’s why you stop at the red light. You want to remain in the right relationship with that cop on the side there.

Once you line up with the law from the red light, then the cop can’t touch you. He actually protects you. He becomes your protector.

That’s righteousness.

So the most important word in a kingdom is the word obedience.

The government takes care of a citizen in a kingdom — opposite to democracy. Opposite.

In democracy you take care of yourself. In a kingdom the government takes care of you.

That’s why Mashiach says, “Do not worry what you will eat, what you will drink.”

He said, “Don’t do that. You just seek to get into My Kingdom, and these things are added.”

But what you didn’t read is the other part. Two things He said you must do to get everything to be added to you.

Two things. You’ve got to do both of them.

He says, “Seek first the Kingdom of Elohim.” That’s the part you like.

He says, “But also His righteousness.”

Stay lined up with the law.

Be a law-abiding citizen.

And then He says do those two things for the rest of your life. That’s all.

And everything you need, the government is given to you.

So let me repeat it slowly again.

Seek first the Kingdom. The conjunction and is important, which means you’ve got to do the same thing with what I’m going to say next.

You seek righteousness. Don’t just seek to get into the Kingdom, the country, but seek to remain. Look for, try, work hard to be always in right standing. Seek it.

Do you seek to stop at the red light? You do the same thing for righteousness as you do for the Kingdom. You pursue it.

And then you can quote these kind of promises:

“I have never seen the righteous forsaken.”

See, a lot of you all are being forsaken by Elohim because you’re not lining up.

It’s like a criminal demanding that the government buy him a car.

The church is full of those people. Criminals at the altar asking Elohim to pay their mortgage, and Elohim is like, “You are a criminal.”

Don’t you get it?

You are a criminal. You are locked up. Heaven has shut down on you.

Some people say to me, “Pastor Miles, law is bondage.”

Okay.

Open your Bibles to Mattithyahu chapter 5.

Take a deep breath please.

Yahusha knew that you would be here thinking that kind of foolishness.

He knew you would think and even be taught by theologians, by your church pastors, that law is finished.

So let’s read His words.

Ready?

He says, chapter 5, verse 17:

“Do not think.”

What a way to start.

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law.

Why? Because that’s what you’re going to think.

He says, “I’m going to cut you off at the pass. I’m going to save your theology now. I come to bring grace, but not to cancel law. The law I came to cancel is ritual law, not divine laws of Elohim.”

It gets worse.

“Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets who spoke them. I have come not to abolish them but to actually enforce them.”

Fulfill means, in the Hebraic sense, to put the spirit back in them.

You know the difference between the term written law and the spirit of the law.

Yahusha said, “I’m a lawyer. I came back to earth to get My city back in order, My colony back in order, My country back in order. I didn’t come to destroy law. I came to make sure you kept it.”

You don’t believe me? Watch the next verse.

It gets worse.

He says, “I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away, not one single comma or dot or tittle of the law will by any means disappear from the law until everything is back in order.”

Verse 19.

“Anyone, anyone, anyone” — this is New Testament, Yahusha speaking — “anyone who breaks the least of My laws and teaches others to do them is called least in My country, in the Kingdom of Elohim.”

It gets worse.

“But if anyone keeps these laws and does what Dr. Monroe is doing today, teaching others to keep them, they shall be called great in the Kingdom of Elohim.”

I’m a great man.

And then He closes it.

He says, “By the way, unless your righteousness” — that means unless your lining up with the law — “is greater than those religious people lighting candles, you cannot enter kingdom lifestyle.”

I rest my case.
