what is a Kingdom?
Kingdoms have come and gone since the beginning of time.
Daniel speaks of Kingdoms that will rule and reign for certain time periods and he explains it in a vision.
All Kingdoms have something in common.
A Kingdom must have a King and they must have subjects.
And all Kings have authority over their Kingdom.
We could spend weeks, going through the scriptures as well as history books looking at Kings and Kingdoms to see how they worked.
Ultimately, we would see a King, his authority over his people, and if it were a good king, the people were happy, but if the king was evil, the people struggled.
similar is Proverbs
A King having authority is having power.
Power over their kingdom.
over their people.
In a sense, there are kingdoms everywhere.
there is power in operation in many realms.
what am I talking about......
Lets do this
Everyone stand up
you used power to stand.
was there any forces or powers trying to stop you from standing?
Gravity
gravity is a force pulling your physical body down towards the earth, and when we stand, we overpower gravity.
Question: Could someone say, I don’t believe in gravity!
We can show them how gravity affects items but we cannot put gravity in our hands and show it to them.
It is the same with Gods Kingdom.
So, you are standing because you were stronger than gravity, right???
Lets not feel to powerful by that thought, because there were other forces at work for us to stand.
what are we standing on?
the foundation under us being as strong as it is, allows us to defeat gravity.
think about standing on an old rotted out wooden board.
or jump out of a plane!
Does gravity win then?
So, our power can depend on our foundation.
cool principle.
how strong is your foundation?
Jesus talks about this in a parable about building a house on rock or sand.
today, I am going to open up the Kingdom of God in a way that maybe you haven’t heard.
this may be challenging, well it should challenge us, and when I read scripture and see words like overcomer and endure till the end, it makes me ask the question how?
This talk can lead to a path to a victorious, overcoming life that the bible declares for us to have,
SO, anyone want a victorious, overcoming life?
Jesus makes clear that He is a King, and a King from another place.
So Jesus is showing us there is His Kingdom, and creates a divide between His Kingdom and the world.
is there a king of this world?
See how scripture recognizes that there are powers and authorities on earth, even a prince.
we see it here too later in Eph.
So, there is a battle with these forces we see here in this verse.
I would also want you to recognize that our actions are affected by who we follow.
back in chapter 2 Paul goes on to say,
We can then make a connection with who we follow and what we do.
And Paul is so kind to not leave anyone out of this truth, that we all lived in the passions of our flesh....
From here, I want to give you a picture to contemplate about kingdoms.
If we boiled it right down, we could see 2 kingdoms shining though scripture.
Satans kingdom and Gods Kingdom.
And when we were born, we were born not into Gods Kingdom, that is why we need to be born again, a spiritual birth so we can see and enter the Kingdom of God.
I will use these two doors behind me.
one door will represent before we believed in Christ and His Kingdom, so this is our kingdom.
the other door will represent after we believed in Jesus and realized there was another door!
Another Kingdom!
Before we knew Jesus, how did we act/react?
How did we live?
What did we do towards others.
How did we transact with others.
think about how we treated others as a transaction..... like how currency works between people.
Money
if we think of currency and transactions, we usually would think of money.
$50
but lets look at anything we give or take from others as currency/ transactions.
Someone gives you love..... there has been a transaction.
a good one.
Someone gives you hate.... there has been a transaction.
not a good one.
What transacts between us is similar to currency
years ago there was a book that discussed filling a persons love bank.
Question: What did your account look like before you met God?
our natural account.
Some love?
Some forgiveness?
some peace?
mercy?
grace?
Did it change when you received Jesus?
How are our accounts created?
natural account = how did our family deal with us? what did we receive from them?
Spiritual account = Jesus loved us unconditionally, forgave all our sin, gave us grace beyond sin and peace with God.
When we realize that Jesus in the King of the Kingdom of God, and what is inside His Kingdom, and He says He is the Door to His Kingdom and we can enter through Him and access it..... it changes everything.
Picture treasure
All that God gives you.
Imagine?
What does He give?
(Let people share)
Love, forgiveness, mercy, grace, patience, kindness, goodness, and so on.
Does He give only so much?
It is more than enough.
He gives us enough for the rest of our lives.
think about this..... His Kingdom filled with what we need to live.
this is where faith must be.
our faith, trusting that He is giving us enough for every situation in the future to live in His Kingdom.
those moments when someone is being unlovable, and we give love from the Kingdom.
the moment someone sins against us and we give them from the Kingdom, grace, mercy and forgiveness.
this verse can become a life verse.
It becomes alive to us!
He has given us all we need for this life.....spiritually speaking.... more than enough!!!
