The Wake of The Kingdom

The kingdom is a rule. The kingdom is a reign. The kingdom is an authority. It's a dominion. It's the active government of a king, and especially refers to the rule of Christ and believer's heart. It's the rule. It's the reign. So when the king Jesus said the kingdom is here, he's not meaning the reign well, it's not meaning well, kingdom, boom, it just dropped down like the house on Wizard of Oz. It's not like that. He's meaning the rain of God has arrived. The rain of God has arrived. [00:38:16] (35 seconds)  #KingdomReignArrived

And so I look at Romans fourteen seventeen, and it says, and when the rain shows up, it for the kingdom of God is what? Righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. That's why Jesus even said, he said, hey, I gotta leave so someone greater can come. He said, I gotta leave because someone greater I gotta leave because I the kingdom of God is here. That's what Jesus said. He said, but I gotta leave so something greater. What and what was that greater? It's the Holy Spirit. [00:39:19] (28 seconds)  #RighteousnessPeaceJoySpirit

I want you all to think about the net. Remember the kingdom of God is like the net. This is the parable of Jesus said, the kingdom of God is like a net that's cast into the sea and catches all types of fish. Now we know that the scripture says that we are in this world, we're not what? Of the world. We're in the world, but we're not of the world. See that net is not of the world. See that net is a foreign object into the sea. It's it it it is a foreign object into the sea. It is not of the world, but it is in it. The net is in the ocean. It's not of it. The same way with you. You are not of the world, you're in the world. And what's great about that net, it's going through the world, but all the world passes it by. [01:06:59] (46 seconds)  #KingdomIsLikeANet

Obedience is what fills the net. Remember the boat has to go, the boat has to get out. They fished all night and they caught what? No fishes. It's not because they didn't know how to fish. It's not because they didn't have the right equipment. Because it was they weren't even it's not because they were in the wrong place. They knew how to do it. They were experienced fishermen. But the nets got filled with obedience. You can have all. You can have all the action. You can have all the works, and you're not gonna get nothing in your net. But when you put faith with your works, your corresponding action, that net will be full. Not by your might, but by the power of God, by you listening by faith and being obedient.

How do those fish get into the kingdom of God? How do they do that? Well, it's pretty cool. I like how Paul talks about it. Paul talks about in first Corinthians two four, not by the eloquent, not by your speech. He says, my speech was not with enticing words, but in a demonstration of the spirit and the power of God. That is what persuaded people to God. The same way those fish are persuaded to get into the kingdom of God. Being fully persuaded, Romans four twenty one says, being fully persuaded. Persuasion comes by the spirit. Remember the kingdom of god is righteous and peace and joy and the holy spirit, the holy ghost. Not by you. It's not about you. It's about the kingdom. So we cast and the spirit persuades. The spirit persuades. [01:23:09] (51 seconds)  #SpiritPersuades

This is interactive preaching. Alright? Let's go. Come on. Come on. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I need you to help build my faith. And how am I gonna hear? It's by hearing you. You ready? So awake to what? Righteousness. Awake to what? And do not sin for some do not have the knowledge of God and I speak this to your shame. Awake to righteousness. Awake to righteousness. [00:40:44] (27 seconds)  #HearAndAwaken

So our closing declaration is this, we will awaken to righteousness. Say, we will awaken to righteousness. We will not drift. We We will move by the power of God. Will leave righteousness, peace, joy everywhere we go because the kingdom of God is not just coming someday, it rains now. In my heart. Forevermore. When the king moves, the wake follows. And Jesus say it. In Jesus, I choose you. With all my heart. Heart. Everything Everything I I give to you. Love you. I thank you for everything. In Jesus Christ's name. Amen. [01:40:10] (72 seconds)  #AwakenToRighteousness

When we leave, people will be what? Walking, leaping, and praising God. That's the wake of the kingdom of God. Now, it's kinda neat when you think about that. Look at the wake you're leaving. Are people walking? Are they leaping and praising God? Not because you left. But because you brought them God. That is righteousness. That is peace. That is joy, and that is what the kingdom of God is. That is so encouraging that that is a kingdom wake. Say, kingdom wake. But don't miss this. [00:59:45] (46 seconds)  #KingdomWakeMovement
