Understanding Spiritual Kingdoms and Our Role in Them

1) "A kingdom is a realm or domain ruled by a king or a sovereign authority. It is defined by its structure of governance, its people and its culture. In biblical terms, a kingdom is not just about physical territory. It is about power, authority, and influence. A kingdom reflects values, laws, and character of its rulers, of the ruler. So a kingdom is primarily denoting a sovereignty, a royal power, a dominion. It is denoting a territory or people over whom a king rules. So as a kingdom, it is denoting a king who rules over territory and people." [48:00] (67 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2) "And so even if it is you're not from Trinidad and Tobago, you are a resident of some visible continent of the world. But there's another world that we also live in, which is a spiritual world. It is one that you cannot see with your eyes, but it is just as real as the natural world. I want to repeat that again. It is one that you cannot see, but it is just as real as the natural world."

3) "Now in terms of residence in the kingdom of Satan, several angels joined Satan in his rebellion. And they were all cast out of the kingdom of God. And so these evil spirits are called demons. And they are residents in the kingdom of Satan. These spirits can enter. I know some Christians have different beliefs when it comes to this. But these spirits can enter, talk, torment, control, and use humans who belong to Satan's kingdom. They motivate many evil acts that are done by men and women. And this is confirmed where the word of God says, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against rulers of darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

4) "The kingdom of God is the kingdom of God. God is ruled by the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Revelation 17 .14 says, He is known as the Lamb and as the King of Kings. Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. And His called and chosen and faithful ones will be with Him. What I like about this particular passage is that it shows the authority. Because, I don't know, some people use this as a disc sometimes, right? I can't remember the full context of how they use it. But you know they say, you know, you have the big key and the little key. So, Jesus is King in capital. And the other kings are in common. And so we serve the King of Kings. The one who is above every other king. And the Lamb was sent on the cross to die for us." [01:03:09] (71 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5) "It is a reminder for us today that even when it is circumstances come, even when situations come, we must not be fearful because God is faithful and true. His word does not return unto him void but accomplish everything it was set out to do. You know the start of that says just as the snow comes from the sky, just as the rain comes from the clouds, just that way that his word will not return unto him."

6) "And so from the time the rebellion of Satan happened, there has been spiritual warfare that is raging between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. The Bible is written with records of warfare between these two kingdoms. Now the warfare is being waged throughout the world over the mind, the souls, and the spirits of people. Satan is trying to keep men captive to sin his kingdom. Through deceptive methods, just as he deceived Eve in the garden, he entices men and women to partake in temporary lust of sinful living. He aims for the affections of the soul and the spirit, which rightfully belong to God." [01:16:17] (64 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "And so the question today is, which kingdom are you representing i want you to pause because when it is you ask this question you know somebody watching online or in person from the time you ask these questions christian people let's be the quick people to say yes that's me and there are people who are quick to say yes i am on the kingdom of god i'm on that side i remember this week or was it last week we were having a keisha and i think we're having a conversation with somebody i can't remember who it was and we're making the point that it have some people in the bars who know scripture better than you and so knowing scripture just cannot be the representation of being in the kingdom of god it goes beyond that it goes to a lifestyle and how it is you live the the reality is the reality is there's going to be one kingdom" [01:20:25] (87 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8) "And so if you're online, if you're in the building, wherever you're at right now, you need to be able to check. You need to be able to see, what type of light, are you really giving off? Are you giving mediocre light? Are you giving off lukewarm light? I don't know about you all, but it is difficult for me, sometimes when I go in buildings, and it's like it has some light, but it's not bright or it's not dark. Your eyes take a really long time to adjust. And sometimes they don't ever adjust. And so let our light so shine before men. Make sure that when people see us, they see light. When people see us, they see that we represent the kingdom of God." [01:28:45] (57 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
