Jesus Leadership - part 8 - “KINGDOM COLLISSION?”

Matthew 4:23
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

The church has sometimes replaced the gospel of THE KINGDOM with the gospel of salvation.
Jesus did not preach the Gospel of salvation.
He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom.

SALVATION = wonderful.

• It is good,
• It is important

It is a means to an end.
Salvation is not the final act.
It is not the point.

SALVATION = is about getting people saved and going to Heaven.
THE KINGDOM = is about getting the atmosphere of Heaven to change things here on earth!

CHURCH SERVICE IS CALLED TO BE A TIME OF CALIBRATION FOR PEOPLE “CALLED” TO COLLIDE with KINGDOMS

2 Corinthians 5:16 - 20
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

REVOLUTION:

• INFILTRATE (Jesus went into Kingdoms with the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

• Infiltration is the first step in our mission.
• BEFORE JESUS TOOK DOWN THE DEVIL’S PLANS - HE WAS ON THIS EARTH AS A CITIZEN… he had jobs, he connected with people.
• NO PLACE YOU ARE AT // POSITION YOU ARE IN // IS A MISTAKE ~ divine appointment.

Infiltration is simply living our life on purpose.

ENGAGE - to actually connect with those around us for Kingdom purposes.

• Engagement is about connecting with people around us for the purpose of advancing God’s Kingdom. We are called to be the light and salt of the earth, making a positive impact on those we encounter, ultimately leading them to glorify our heavenly Father.

Matthew 4:17 (NIV)
17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
REPENT - OR CHANGE YOUR MIND…
He took every opportunity to bring the counterpropaganda of the word into situation’s.

Colossians 4:3
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

PRAY EVERY DAY - for open doors to bring Kingdom into situaions…

• an opportunity to pray with someone…
• an opportunity to speak life into someone only negative…
• an opportunity to show love to someone hurting…

ACQUIRE - train people how to bind and lose with Kingdom purposes.

• Matthew 16:19 (KJV)
  19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

• Acquisition involves training and equipping others with the authority and power of the Kingdom of Heaven.

• We are given the keys to bind and loose, to bring Heaven’s authority into earthly situations, making a transformative impact.

DESTROY - to find areas where the contrary culture reigns and see it toppled.

• 1John 3:8
  8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Your sacrifice is well worth it - you are rescuing lives

• Every bible study, every hand you shake, every connecting you make, every child fed the Word.
• Miracles taking place. You are rescuing lives through your service.

Your sacrifice is WORTH IT!
If it costs you your life - your sacrifice is worth it!

REAL MINISTRY is not just “I am going to help”, but I am here to give my all because I am a part of serving a life!”

It tak a team to make it possible

REBUILD - advance the Kingdom by influencing.
INFLUENCING THE WORLD AROUND US WITH THE KINGDOM CHANGING POWER

JESUS CAME TO INVADE KINGDOMS WITH A PREVAILING KINGDOM!

Jesus was PHYSICALLY MANIFESTED on the earth for the purpose of REVOLUTION:

• Infiltrate kingdoms
• Engage the citizens
• Acquire followers
• Destroy the devils work
• Rebuild the Kingdom.

Luke 17:11
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

Jesus is inFILTRATING 2 KINGDOMS.

SAMARIA = Samaritans - half people of God, half people of the world.

GALILEE = The place of the Gentiles. Literally people who did not know God.

JESUS IS COMING TO A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE HALF-HEARTED GOD-FOLLOWERS AND PEOPLE WITH NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
HE’S BRINGING KINGDOM CULTURE INTO THIS PLACE.

Luke 17:12 - 13
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

Their kingdoms had failed them.

• Government didn’t fix their issues.
• Their learning didn’t fix their issues.

REVIVAL HAPPENS WHEN HURTING VOICES CRY FOR JESUS!

JESUS IS ENGAGING THE CULTURE

Luke 17:14 - 18
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

AQUIRE and DESTROY -

Luke 17:15 - 17
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM AGAIN?

RIGHTEOUSNESS = GOD TOLD ME TO DO THIS TO SEE KINGDOM OPERATE IN MY LIFE- I’M DOING IT.

PEACE = DECLARE TO THE PRIEST “we are clean, come check us!” - NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN…

JOY…..

• If JOY is in our circumstance than I celebrate doing what feels good.
• If JOY IS IN THE Holy Ghost - MY AUTOMATIC REACTION IS THANKSGIVING!

Luke 17:19
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

“THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE”
LITERALLY:
Pistis sózó se sózó

• “FULLY Healed faith made you healed physically”
• “FULLY Protected faith made you protected physically”

WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE OF YOU IS DEMONSTRATED OUTSIDE OF YOU.

• THE KINGDOM DOWNLOADED BECOMES THE KINGDOM DEMONSTRATED!
  This is how kingdoms are toppled and the original kingdom re-established.

3 JOHN 1:2
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

THE KINGDOM DOWNLOADED IS TO BECOME THE KINGDOM DEMONSTRATED.
PISTIS SOZO SE SOZO
You will prosper in life to the extent that you have prosperity downloaded into your spirit.

ISOLATION WILL CHANGE YOUR INTENTIONS…

• We focus on self
• stop thinking about others
• do not care what others are going through.

YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH WHAT YOU NEED
OR
IDENTIFY WITH WHAT YOU CCAN DO
We create a false identity in isolation…

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE THE CHURCH BY YOURSELF!

EKKLESIA = A GROUP OF PEOPLE SENT INTO A KINGDOM. WHILE REPRESENTING ANOTHER KINGDOM!
If you were that by yourself you would be an ambassador, but NOT. An Ekklesia.

ISOLATION WILL CHANGE YOUR

….

• Remember when you used to dream A LOT!
• YOU HAD GOALS AND PLANS AND SAW THE IMPOSSIBLE AS POSSIBLE AND BELIEVED YOU COULD…

Isolation will change your imagination to being evil.

• What if I die?
• What if I can’t survive?
• What if I don’t get the job I want?
• What if I ….

REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE PLAYFUL AND EXCITED?!

Isolation turns what was supposed to be a KINGDOM

into a

Reveal Answer

• ANGRY AT EVERYONE
• OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING

IF YOU CAN WORRY ~ YOU CAN WORSHIP!

• Instead of wringing your hands - you lift up your hands!
• Instead of mumbling your fears - you start marinating on your faith!
• Instead of crying in fear - you’re shouting in faith!

ISOLATION WILL CHANGE YOUR

…
THE LEPERS WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE 50 PACES AWAY!

Luke 17:20
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

THEY DID NOT WANT THE KEYRING OF RELATIONSHIP!

• The Pharisees didn’t want Jesus because of who He was…
• The Pharisees wanted Jesus for what He could do for their life…

Luke 17:21
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

WHEN ISOLATED FROM THE CHURCH, ISOLATED FROM GOD, ISOLATED FROM EACH OTHER…- Christians just guess at life at 50 paces…

WHEN WE REFUSE ISOLATION:

• THE KINGDOM DOWNLOADED BECOMES THE KINGDOM DEMONSTRATED
