Returning To The Original Kingdom Mandate


I want to continue on the subject of the kingdom and we’re going to talk about returning to the kingdom mandate. Our focus today will be identifying your role in the program of Yah’s corporate will and this is incredible and the most important subject that anyone can ever study and that is the Kingdom mandate of Yah. I want to begin by dealing first of all with Yah’s original purpose. The reason why everything should be begin with purpose is because purpose is the motivation for all of Yah’s actions. Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21 says many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that will prevail. Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21 written by king Solomon, inspired by the Holy Spirit. This one statement summarizes the entire reasoning for life. I am going to read it again. Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21. Many are the plans and a man’s heart but the Lord‘s purpose will prevail. That statement means that purpose is more important than plans, purpose is more powerful than plans and purpose proceeds plans. It also implies without question that the only thing that motivates Yah is his purpose and not your plans. Let me read it again proverbs chapter 19 verse 21 says many are the plans in a man’s heart but the Lord‘s purpose will prevail over all of man’s plans. The King James version says many are the devices in a man’s heart, but it’s the Lords council that will prevail or will stand. The word purpose therefore uncounseled means the same thing. Why is the word council used in the old King James 16th century version and why is the word purpose our most modern translation from the Hebrew? Because the word council produces purpose. A council means to actually have a meeting with yourself. Yah counseled himself about what he wanted to do, and then he concluded the meeting and decided what he wanted, and it became his purpose. The word purpose means original intent, write it down please. The word purpose means original intent. In other words, there’s something that Yah originally intended to have, and that is what he calls his purpose. The word purpose, in the Hebrew is also the word that we translate will. Whenever you see the term well of Yah , you can literally say the purpose of Yah . They are the same thing. So Yah’s will is Yah’s purpose, therefore, Yah’s purpose is what Yah originally intended. Therefore the entire book that you call the Bible, a Library of 66 books contains in it Yah ’s will. What is Yah’s will? Yah’s purpose. What is Yah’s purpose? Yah’s original intent. The word purpose therefore is also defined in the biblical text as the reason for creation. It means the reason why Yah created everything. Why did Yah do something is what is called purpose. So purpose is the reason why things exist. Purpose therefore is the original intention that Yah had in mind when he created everything and anything. Purpose therefore is simply why. Why did Yah create planet earth?. Why did Yah create mankind?. Why did Yah create nature?. Why did Yah create the universe?. Why did Yah give you what he had promised you, wisdom, and knowledge and understanding?. Why did Yah give us the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, the reptile kingdom, and the kingdom of this natural world?. Why did Yah do all of this?. The reason is, he has an original intent. Now, the only thing that Yah wants is what he originally intended. That is a critical point. The only thing that Yah wants is what he originally intended. In other words, Yah is only interested in what he originally wanted, everything else is not interesting to Yah . What does Yah want then? Is his original well. Matter fact, the only thing that motivates Yah is not your will but his will. That is why that statement is so important in the book of proverbs. It says many are the plans in your heart. The word heart there has nothing to do with your chest. The Hebrew word, there actually means mind. Yah says many are the plans in your mind, you have created your own ideas he says about your life and about life, what you wanna do, what do you wanna be, where do you wanna go, how you want to live, who you want to marry, what career you want, what vocation that you want, what kind of ministry you want. Yah says you’ve got all these ideas about your life he says, but my purpose for your life will prevail over everything you are planning. In other words, Yah is saying before you make plans for your life consult me For your purpose. It’s tragic to spend 30, 40 years working on a plan that Yah never gave you birth to do. It’s possible to be successful failures because you can be successful in something Yah never gave you birth to do. Therefore, it’s more important to discover purpose than to make plans and you should make your plans according to Yah’s purpose for your life so that your plans will be in sync with your reason for being. Yah says my purpose is supreme to me, my purpose will prevail over everything Man thinks, conceives, develops or devices. Yah says I will accomplish what I purpose, which means I will accomplish what I originally intended to have. When Yahusha came his first public statement was Yah’s original will. He says repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived. In other words, he came back with an old idea. He said I came back to restore what Yah originally intended, which was my kingdom on earth. Yah never changes his purpose. Write this down, plans may change but purpose is permanent. Yah’s plans were interrupted in Genesis chapter 3, but his purposes were never changed. This is why when Yahusha came in Matthew chapter 5 and introduced his first sermon, the last part of the sermon he made his statement very clearly. He said I didn’t come to change the law nor what the prophets prophesied. Now, why did he make that clear upfront? He’s saying look, I didn’t come to introduce a new idea, I didn’t come to create something new that God never talked about. In other words, whatever the prophets talked about is what Yah told them about, and I am Yah in the flesh. Therefore, I came to do what I told them. I didn’t come to change the laws why? The laws are the principles and the presets by which my kingdom works and whatever laws I gave Moses those laws are valid today. I didn’t come to change the law, nor to destroy the prophecies, but I came to what? Fulfill them. I came to bring them into effect. Then he makes a statement we don’t understand sometimes. He says, and therefore heaven and earth will pass away before one statement Yah made falls unfulfilled. In other words, no matter what happens, even if Yah got to move the present heaven and the present earth, and create a new heaven and a new earth, he will do it to keep his original word. In other words, what Yah intended he will have even if he hast to create new products. He doesn’t change his assignment. So what is Yah‘s original purpose? Matthew chapter 4 verse 14. This is a very important verse of scripture. Those of you who studied theology and hermeneutics will know that it’s very important for you when you’re reading a historical document to understand what they call context. You should never read one verse of scripture. It is very dangerous to speak and teach from one verse of scripture. Now people do it all the time, but it’s very dangerous because context is more important than text. I’ve seen preachers mutilate scripture by taking one verse and making say what they wanted it to say. It’s very dangerous to do that. It creates error. Every verse must be kept in context, so the meaning of the verse would be true to its original author. When you read Matthew, chapter 24 you have to read this in context. Now when you look at Matthew chapter 24 and you look at the first three verses, you’ll find out there was a question asked by the disciples. They asked him a question concerning the end times. Their question was when will the end come, do you see that question there? They were asking about the end of the world or the end of the age. And they said, when will the end come? Tell us what will be the signs that the end is upon us. In verse three they said, when will this happen, and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age, I think all of us here have been asking those questions. Most of us think it has arrived. I have come to announce to you that September 11th has nothing to do with the end of the world, nothing to do with it. Yah saw pharaoh killed thousands of babies, he saw Harrod kill thousands of babies. He saw all kinds of terrorism all the time and it never touches Yah. When Yah is ready, Yah moves. When September 11th took place somehow the pulpits of our countries became the source of messages of doom. People saying these are the last days, the Lord is coming soon, prepare yourself, you better get ready, you better keep your soul in order. All of it was lies, and not true. Always read your Bible and not the hymn books. Always study the word, not just your preacher's sermons. Yah has not left anything in the dark. So when you read chapter 24 the question was what would be the sign of the end time and when will you come, Yahusha, the second time. Please notice he did not say to them, well I cannot tell you, it’s a mystery, it’s a secret. He didn’t say you’re not supposed to ask these deep questions. He didn’t do that. He told them exactly when the end will come. Now you’ve been taught like I’ve been taught when I was in church that no one knows the end, no one knows when the end will come. That’s not true. I know when the end will come and I’ve already seen it and Hamachiach told us when the end will come. Let’s read what he says. The question was, when will the end come and when will the second coming of the Son of Man be? He begins to answer them. Matter of fact, let’s look at verse 4. What are the first two words? Yahusha answered. Isn’t that beautiful? They said when will the end come? And what will be the sign of your second coming? And Yahusha answered them. So he is going to tell them now when the end will come. Number one he says watch out that no one deceives you. In other words, people walking around, saying he’s coming now, he’s coming there, he’s coming there, he’s coming over there. Verse five says for many will come in my name, claiming I am the Hamachiach and they will deceive many. Underline that statement please “I am the Christ“. He’s talking about people who come in every generation, claiming that they are the anointed of Yah. Now, since Hamachiach left the earth, there have been many who came and said that they came to complete Yah‘s work. So you have Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Islam, Scientologist. You’ve got all these gurus. He said look, there's going to be many saying I’ve got the final word. He said, but don’t be deceived. In other words, don’t be surprised when there are many different religions. Hamachiach is prophesying here about the rise of religious leaders who create religions. He says you will see much of that, but look at the next statement. He says but the end is not yet. You will hear of wars, rumors of war, BUT….. See to it, that you are not alarmed or amazed. Why? Such things must happen BUT. But what? The end is not yet. My goodness they are fighting in the Middle East, they’re fighting in Israel, they’re fighting in South Africa, oooo so Yahusha is coming… He said look, don't let that make you believe that I’m coming. Yes, there will be many Hamachiach and many conflicts, and there will be wars and rumors of wars and biological warfare and terrorist wars but he said the end is not yet. Read on. CONTEXT. He says nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be economic crisis, which is what he means by “farming” and there will be earthquakes in diverse places. Are they happening now? Yes. All these are just what? The beginning of birth pains. Nothing to do with the end. I’m about to show you something that is going to blow your mind. He said do not believe that these natural and human disasters have anything to do with the end. Verse nine, you will be handed over to be persecuted, to be put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me at that time and many will turn away from the faith and will betrayed each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many show grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. Now he says all this will happen, but the end is not yet. Verse 14. He tells us when the end will come. This is surprising. I know when the end will come. The end will come in verse 14. Let’s read it. He says, and when this gospel…. not just any gospel but…. when this gospel….. not just any gospel….. but this gospel, not just any message, but when this gospel of what? The kingdom. But when this gospel of the kingdom is preached into every part of the world, to every nation, as a testimony unto them, when that is done, read the next line, then the end will come. See, we know when the end will come. According to Yahusha, the end will come when we as his disciples preach a certain message. That’s why he hasn’t come yet. We are preaching all kinds of stuff except for what he told us to preach. We are preaching faith, preaching prosperity, preaching deliverance, preaching healing, preaching baptized in the Holy Spirit, preaching name it and claim it, we’re preaching all this stuff, and he said look, you’re still not getting the right message. When this gospel of the kingdom has been preached to all the world as a testimony! In other words, it will be demonstrated also. When every nation… And that word nation there is very important. To every nation. Write the word nation down. The word nation is the Greek word ethnos. This word is referred to as being ethnic. It is not limited to ethnic groups. This word means special groupings. It is a grouping of people that have a common language, a common ethnic, a common belief system, a common commitment to ideals. This is a strange word. Ethnos therefore, when you use the word nation, it means people are committed to a single common ideal or a common commitment. For example the USA is called nation, but we don’t all speak the same language, we are not all from the same culture, we have different backgrounds, but yet we call ourselves a nation. Why is this a nation with so many colors and so many cultures and so many languages? Because we are committed to the same ideal of democracy of freedom of speech. In other words, it is the ideas of commitment that makes an ethnos. Another way to put this is it is any group that has a common language and a common ideal commitment. It could be, for example medicine. If you go into the field of medicine, you have to learn a different language, you have to adhere to a different code of ethics And codes of conduct. When you enter the world of law lawyers have a different ethnos. They have a different language and different ideas and different codes that you have to learn. That’s why you have to study for many years to become a doctor or a lawyer. You have to learn the language. It is an ethnos. Whatever there is a common grouping it is an ethnos. The word there is nation. Hamachiach says I will not come until the message of the kingdom enters every ethnos. Every single nation must hear the good news of what? The kingdom. Now here’s what’s important about this statement. Yahusha said the end will come when the church preaches this message to the whole world. The end depends on what you and I preach. It doesn’t depend on the AntiChrist, it doesn’t depend on wars, rumors of wars, it doesn’t depend on pestilence and farming and an earthquake. He said the end is not yet. He said the end will be controlled by my people. I don’t want you to miss this. Yahusha said look, the end of the world, and the coming of the Messiah again is controlled by the church. You still missed it. He said look, when you preach this message… What message? The message of the kingdom of Yah. When you preach that he says when I’m convinced that all the world has heard that message and have an opportunity to receive it then I will come. Which means that the end depends on you. I know this is tough. Because I had to change myself. Let me give you a cross reference for this. Yahusha was asked the question about the end time three times by the disciples. The second time, they asked him, when will the end come, he answered them in a strange way. He said the end of the age will be like the days of Noah. Do you remember that? And they said explain it to us and he said well in the days of Noah, they were eating and drinking and rose up in a revelry, and the Most High spoke to Noah and told him to build an ark and for 120 years, Noah built the ark, and when the ark was finished and the doors were shut by Noah, the rain began. Then he says, so will it be at the end of the age. Now, most of you still don’t understand what he meant. So let’s back up. He said the end of the world would be just like it was in the days of Noah. In the days of Noah Yah had a problem with the planet, and he wanted to consummate some things. He went to Noah and he said Noah, I need your cooperation. I need you to work with me. I want you to go and tell the whole known world that I’m going to destroy the earth with water but if they believe what you say and they come into this boat that I want you to build, they will be safe. So your message is to go and tell them and warn them that danger is coming. If they believe you and they obey you and come into this big boat called the ark then they will be safe and I will destroy the world with water. What did Noah do? Noah obeyed Yah. So Noah began to build the boat and Noah built the boat and while he was building it. He went out and told the people. They said what are you doing? He says this is why I’m doing it and he told them about the message, Yah told him about the rain coming and the floods coming. This is heavy now. Now, the rain was in Yah’s control, but WHEN it came was in Noah’s control. You will get it later. Yah says Noah, when you finish the ark and shut the door, the rain will start. The rain was ready from the first day Yah told him. Now the rain had to wait until Noah was finished. Now, if Noah had finished the ark in 50 years and shut the door, the rain would have come. If Noah would have shut the ark at 100 years the rain would’ve come. In other words, the rain was waiting on Noah’s assignment. So Yahusha said the end will come, but the end is waiting on your assignment. He says the son of Yah will come, but he’s waiting on the church to complete its assignment. As soon as Noah closed the door, it says, immediately the rain began. What are we preaching? That determines if Yahusha comes. And when THIS gospel. Everyone say “this”… Now if I’m wearing a watch right now, if I say this is my watch that means there are other watches around. If I said, this is THE watch, that means there’s no other watches around. But if I say THIS watch, that means there are other watches. Hamachiach says when THIS gospel, in other words, there are many other preachings going around, a lot of stuff people are preaching, but when you get to this one, and you preach this stuff, the kingdom of Yah and you preach it all over the world then the end will come. In the book of Acts chapter 1, the disciples asked him after resurrection, will you now establish the kingdom? He says look, the hour when that is supposed to be established, no one knows the hour, the father knows the hour, but the time we know. What time? The time when we preach the gospel of the kingdom. I have a very strange suggestion. I suggest that the church itself has not even understood the kingdom. How can we preach it? We are experts in religion, but not the kingdom. It’s going to get a little heavy. Matthew chapter 4 verse 17, the first statement of Yahusha, when he began his ministry at age 30 it says, and Yahusha began to preach saying repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived. What is this big deal about the kingdom? Well, let’s talk about the assignment of Yahusha. Number one. The original plan of Yah was to extend his heavenly kingdom on earth through mankind. This is Yah‘s original plan. To extend his heavenly kingdom on earth through mankind. Number two his purpose was to establish a family of sons, and not servants. And that is important, because religion teaches us to be servants of the Most High but the kingdom teaches us to be sons of Yah. A servant and a son are different. I remember growing up in a religious environment and all I heard people say was, I just want to thank Yah I am just a servant of the Most High, I’m a servant of the Most High, and it sounds so good. I’m a servant of the Most High. It sounds so good, but Yahusha never said you must call yourself that. Religion makes you almost subjugated. Yah never wanted servants, he wanted what? Sons. Hamachiach says, in John chapter 1, as many as believed on him to them gave he the authority to call themselves. What? Sons of Yah. He told a story about the prodigal son, and he said look, there was a man who had two sons one went away and squandered all of his goods, and then he sat in the pigpen, and he said I will go back to my father, that’s religion, and I will ask him to be just a servant. That is religion. I’m not good enough to be sitting with Hamachiach so I will sit at his doormat. I just want to be a servant of the Most High, I want to serve the Most High. It sounds so good, so humble. Let me ask you a question, if you have a son or a daughter in your house and they said look, I don’t want to be your daughter or your son, I want to be your maid, how do you feel about that??? No mom, I don’t want to eat at the table, I’ll eat outside by the step, I’m not good enough to be sitting at the table. Daddy I just want to eat outside under the tree. I don’t want to be your son, just make me a servant. Listen to him, I am not worthy, he said. Sounds like a Christian doesn’t it? I’m not worthy to be saved by Grace, oh yes you are, he saved you before you even knew it. This false humility, that we call humility, makes Yah sick. Yah wants you to walk boldly into the throne room and say hello Pops, how are you doing today? You promised to do this for me, and do that for me and do this for me. That’s what he wants. Hamachiach says that when the son came back home, when the father saw him a long way off, he ran toward him, and before the son could even say, I want to be a servant he smashed his face up in his chest. He didn’t want to hear a word he had to say. You know, half of the things that you were telling Yah about Yah doesn’t even want to hear. You know what I have been Most High…. He says shut up. You say you know who I slept with and what I drink and he says shut up. My son who was once lost is now found, and to prove it I’m putting the ring, which is a sign of his identity with the family, bring the robe which is the status of his equality with the children and the father, and bring the slipper which puts him back in right standing with the family and kill the best reserved cow for special quality royalty. Royalty has come back home. He is a faithful Yah. He wants sons. Yahusha said that his son has an inheritance with the father. Number three he wanted to establish a kingdom of sons and not subjects. England was built on a monarchy matter fact, England has a history of being a kingdom. England still has remnants of kingdom concepts. The book in your hand is not a democracy. The book in your hand is not about a parliamentary democracy. It is not about a republic. The book in your hand is about a kingdom. Yah is not a Prime Minister, Yahusha Hamachiach is not a Prime Minister and he is not a president. He is a king. This is important. Therefore, the book that you have in your hand called the Bible is not about a republic, it is not about a democracy. As a matter of fact, the Bible is not democratic at all. The difference between a king and a Prime Minister or president is that you vote a Prime Minister into power and you vote for a president but you don’t vote for a king. Today in a republic and a democracy everybody has got to vote. In a kingdom, there is no vote. In a democracy, you can have a referendum and change the constitution. In a kingdom there is no referendum. Your opinion doesn’t count in a kingdom, I’m going to shout all by myself. In a kingdom you have no individual rights but in a democracy, you’ve got individual rights. In a kingdom, the word of the king is law and in a democracy, the people make the laws. In a democracy you can change the leader, if you don’t like him, but in the kingdom, you are the one that changes, it is not the king who changes. In a democracy you can introduce your own ideas and make it legislation and law, but in the kingdom, the ideas of the king become law. I’m going to bless you watch this. In a kingdom, an earthly kingdom, there’s a king and there are subjects. Now those of you who are from the former Commonwealth nations, you are all dominated by the imperialistic power of Great Britain. Great Britain was the United Kingdom of Great Britain. It was a kingdom, ruled by a queen and a king and we were subjects. Now the word sub is a prefix. Sub means below. Y’all listen carefully, in the kingdoms of the world, the people in the kingdom are SUB-jects and sometimes they are RE-jects. Now if you are a SUB-ject the very word destroys your self concept. I’m trying to get to a very important point. The kingdoms of the world make their citizens subjects but the kingdom of Yah is the only kingdom, it is the only kingdom where the king and all the subjects are family. It is the only kingdom where the king and the subjects are all kings and he is called the king of kings. Shout somebody!!!! You don’t understand the message.. In the United Kingdom, we have the House of Lords and then you have the subjects but in the kingdom of Yah, we have a Lord, his name is Yahusha Hamachiach, and he is the Lord of Lords. That is why it is called Good news. The kingdom is called good news why? It does not oppress and depress and suppress people, it sets them free to sit with Hamachiach in heavenly places. Next, he came to establish a commonwealth of citizens not Christians. The original plan of Yah was never to have Christians. A Christian, write this down, is a religious creature. A citizen is a legal creature. I’m going to say it again, a Christian is a religious creature. I used to be a Christian, and it almost killed me. I was poor and enjoying poverty, because religion makes you comfortable in poverty. I was sick and enjoying sickness because religion makes you comfortable and sickness. The word Christian was never used by Yahusha, it was never ever used by Yahusha, it was never ever introduced by Yahusha, and he never ever told us to call ourselves that word, Christian. The word Christian was created by and introduced by pagans. Read your history. Peter never used it, James never used it, John never used it, Paul mentions it twice when he was in a pagan town, when the pagans didn’t know what to call the believers, so they invented this word that you’ve adopted. I rebuke that in the name of Yahusha. I don’t want to carry any name the pagans gave me. I want the name he gave me. He says you are sons of Yah . He says you are kings and priests. I like that better. A Christian is a religious person. A citizen is a legal person. Christians belong to a religious group, but a citizen belongs to a kingdom. A religious creature gets things from his gods by appeasing them. A citizen gets things from his government by qualifying for them. A citizen is different. A religious person gets things from their gods by doing acts of worship, but a citizen gets things from his government by demanding his rights. So when you are a Christian, that’s why you have to do a lot of things to make God like you, because you are just like the heathen and the pagans. Pagans built temples to their gods, they bring food to their gods, they offer money to their gods, they do obligations, they pay money to their gods. Matter fact, the word used for these different religions were simply pagans. A pagan is not an atheist. Pagan is a worshiper, a religious person that serves their gods. They are very dedicated to their gods. Christians are listed among one of the world religions. When Yahusha walked the Earth, they did not know what to call him. He was not a Pharisee, he was not a sadducee. He was not a Herodian. That is why wherever he went they asked him who are you? After hearing this teaching today if you apply it when people ask you who are you? You should not be telling them that you are a Christian. That is a religious person. You should be telling them. Oh, I am a son or daughter of the living Yah , working here in this location to bring transformation.
