April 26, 2026 - The Son is Rising - Living in light of His Kingdom Malachi 4:2

``When the kingdom fully comes, all injustice will be righted. Only justice will exist. And so now when we see expressions of of true justice, injustice being turned on its head and justice being made manifest. Guess what? That's an expression of the kingdom. There's gonna be no more death. There's gonna be no more wounds. There's gonna be no more weeping in in that full kingdom. So so if the kingdom is already inaugurated, we should be seeing bodies healed. [00:45:19] (37 seconds)  #KingdomHeals

If you want the blessings of the kingdom, Now I'm not saying that god doesn't sometimes in his grace extend it to draw you into the kingdom, but you can't treat god like a Santa Claus and just say, well, I'll take this and I'll take that. But if you're in the kingdom and you're you're believing you want the king to receive the glory, then they're near in a position where you can ask for, maybe expect that there would be the light shining even though there's shadows still around.

So, for example, we see in the book of Revelation that when we get to the end of time when this new age is gonna come, Jesus is riding in there, and it says on his robe, it says, king of kings and lord of lords. That's going to be the kingdom in its fullest expression. But when someone comes and gives their life to Jesus and says, he's he's my king, that's a breakthrough of the kingdom here and now.

When that kingdom fully comes, we know that Satan is gonna be bound, and he's never gonna be released again. He's gonna be bound, and he's gonna be thrown into hell, never to harm anybody again. So if we reverse engineer that, then that shouldn't surprise us that one of the expressions of the kingdom is when Jesus is able to set people free who have been in bondage to Satan.

But, no, I I don't want you to I don't want you to have control over my finances. I once I think it may have been the very first sermon I ever preached, and I made a statement. It wasn't original with me, but I made this statement. And there's a guy significantly older than me who did not like it. He came and and and let me know that he did not like this. I said in that message, I said, if Jesus is not lord of all, he's not lord at all. [00:56:24] (34 seconds)  #JesusLordOfAll

And I don't understand why there's shadows here and why there's sunlight there, but I do know that there are rays of sunshine breaking through. And I don't know, Lord. I wanna drag some people out of a shadow into the sunlight, or I wanna chop down a a branch if you tell me to so that more sun can be here than than it was a moment ago. But I pray that you would ruin us for regular churchgoing, that you would make us radical believing that your kingdom is at hand. [01:00:01] (44 seconds)  #RadicalKingdomFaith

So here's a handful of things I wanna do during this teaching series, and I'm a zero in on one of them today. But I'm gonna want you to know we're gonna pray for the kingdom. Right? Because Jesus told us to pray. May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We're going to proclaim it. We're gonna talk about what does that mean. John the Baptist proclaimed it. Jesus proclaimed it. The disciples proclaimed it. We're told to proclaim it to all the nations. [00:46:25] (32 seconds)  #PrayProclaimKingdom

Well, that is good news, but that's not the whole gospel. That's not the whole kingdom message. That's just part of the kingdom message. It's the gospel, the good news of the kingdom. Jesus spent these critical days doing only two things in terms of teaching. One, he's telling them wait for the Holy Spirit to come. And number two, he's telling them about the kingdom of God.
