Hello and welcome as we continue in the study of kingdom displacement. Before we begin let’s open with a word of prayer. Heavenly Father we come to you in the name of your Blessed Son Jesus. Thank you Father for your precious Son and Holy Spirit that teaches us and directs us in this lesson. Let our kingdom knowledge and understanding be increased for these monumental last days. Reveal to us the abilities of warfare and the spiritual weapons given to each of us in the pulling down of strongholds (kingdoms) in Jesus name we pray. Amen. We are just laying down the foundation of this teaching and I know that it may seem monotonous and some may say I already know this, but I ask you to bear with me. We all need to know the basics before we move on to how to displace and battle these different kingdoms. Remember there is only one authorized kingdom in the Earth and that is the Kingdom of God. This is to be preached to the world as a witness unto the nations. Let me ask you a question, friends. How can you be a witness to something that you have no knowledge about? The Holy Spirit was given to you to empower you to be a witness. Power comes through knowledge.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. We are all to be witnesses! The Apostle Paul said that SOME were called to be preachers, SOME teachers, SOME prophets, SOME apostles, SOME evangelists, however Jesus the Anointed King said we are ALL to be witnesses. I think we have gotten this thing all backwards. You see the power was given for you to be a witness. A witness doesn’t have to prepare a lesson plan or a sermon. No, a witness shares what they know what they have knowledge about. When you testify in court as a witness you just share what you know. Jesus said we would be given power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you and you shall be a witness!
A witness has participated in an incident and just simply shares what they have seen and experienced by the word of their testimony. Well, I don’t want to get off track, this is a lesson for another time, but I want you to know we are to be displacing kingdoms through the authority of the Anointed King and the power of the Holy Spirit and then as a witness share this with the world as a witness to the nations. What is that witness? There is only ONE authorized kingdom in the Earth, The Kingdom of God. There is only ONE, One World Government, in the world, the Kingdom of God! That is the witness. There are other governments and proclamations, but there is only One Kingdom, One Government. It is not found through Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or any other Ism you can think or imagine. There is only One Anointed King and One Kingdom with authority in the Earth. Now, we mentioned that there are 4 kingdoms in the Earth. The 3rd kingdom is the government or kingdom that you are currently a citizen of right now. For example, I am a citizen of the United States. That is the current government that I live under today. A responsibility of a Christian living under a government is to pray for their government and for their leaders. Some may ask today, what if my government that I am living under today is persecuting me because of my faith in Christ? First, let’s discover a truth. My dad used to always say that if a truth stares you down in the middle of the road all you can do is bow down to it. Jesus stated a truth Let’s read it together. John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. Notice that Jesus didn’t say that there might be a chance that you will be persecuted. No, it is a truth.
If they persecuted Jesus get ready they will persecute you. Persecution will come. However, when it comes it doesn’t mean everything is over. Unfortunately, due to some bad teaching, believers think that when persecution comes, it is time to roll over and play dead. No! Let's keep reading. Jesus said if they kept my word or in another way of saying it, if they listened to my witness. What was the witness of Jesus? Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is here! His witness was the His Kingdom. Our witness should be about the Kingdom. Persecution will come to all who are in the Kingdom of God. However, It’s not over when it comes. I want you to notice the stance of the believer while he is living under a government in the Earth. Tit 3:1 Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,
Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
This is written by the Apostle Paul through the Holy Ghost. I love the word Holy Ghost. Most folks don’t realize that in the ancient King James translators that Ghost in the ancient English language meant Guest. So, translated it means Holy Guest! Anyway, the Holy Guest is letting us know the behavior of the believer. Be in subjection, be gentle, pray in meekness for these leaders.1Co 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among them that are full grown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:
Though you may be under the government of the United States, you can influence leaders through kingdom knowledge and prayer. Start calling forth angels to whisper in the ear of these leaders and influence them to do things and pass laws favorable to the Kingdom of God. You might say that is stupid, having angels whispering into the ears and influencing our leaders. Why is it? Demonic spirits whisper in ears, they influence. Guess what? They are fallen angels. How much more can an Authorized Angel of the only authorized Kingdom influence a person? I want you to read with me another passage written by the Apostle Paul through our Holy Guest.
Now, my hope and prayer is that you are full grown and if not that through knowledge you will soon be. But notice what Paul said about the rulers of this world. They are coming to nought. Some folks will say Paul was talking about the devil. Not so fast. When you are dealing with evil rulers like the Prophet Ezekiel did in Ezekiel 28. God told Ezekiel to call the King of Tyre a Prince. A prince is a son of a king. God identified Lucifer as the king and this worldly king as his son. Jesus told the Pharisees that they were of their father the devil. So, after watering this verse with more knowledge we can see that rulers of this world brings into understanding all rulers not just the devil. They are coming to nothing. Why? Because, of Kingdom displacement. When Nero came against the government of Christ and began to violently persecute kingdom believers notice what happened to Rome. It was displaced. Caesar was displaced. Leaders in the senate were displaced. That kingdom was displaced never to be seen again. You have much power and as we go on in more of this lesson we will learn together the magnitude of that power.
2Co 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
The spiritual realm, the spiritual kingdom, is more real than anything in this world. We should understand that the spirit realm gave birth to the natural realm. The natural realm requires a work of natural hands. The spiritual requires work of speech. You can have what you say. In Genesis we can read over and over that God spoke. God is spirit and those who worship Him must do so in spirit. How do we do that? With speech. We were made in the image of God in His likeness. In order to operate in the spirit you must speak. Jesus said, "Have faith in God. For most certainly I TELL you, whoever, may SAY to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he SAYS is happening; he shall have whatever he SAYS. To many times today believers think that demonstrating means to put a sign in your hand and go protest.
A spiritual believer cast aside the natural man made signs and begins to SPEAK! The term "mountain" that Jesus used in this lesson is a prophetic term and literally means KINGDOM. Believers who were under persecution during Rome’s attack learned this truth. They began to have faith in God. They began to understand and have knowledge of the power of the spoken word. They spoke to this mountain, this Roman kingdom, and it had to obey. We have the witness of that. You ask how? Rome is not here! That is your witness. The Kingdom God is the only authorized Kingdom in the Earth and the believers who had faith in God and His Kingdom SPOKE! The mountain obeyed because they did not doubt! They understood the power that God had given to them. It was mighty in the pulling down of strongholds/kingdoms! Jesus was accused by the Pharisees of casting out demons by the power of the devil. Jesus explained to the Pharisees some important things. First, that demons and the devil worked together in the same kingdom. Secondly, a kingdom divided was doomed to certain destruction. Finally, He stated that if I cast out this demon by the finger of God (it only takes God’s little pinky) then another Kingdom has come unto you (kingdom displacement). Well, I hope your knowledge and understanding has been enlightened today and pray that you will join with me next week when we talk about the 4th kingdom in the Earth, the one that we are confronted with today, the kingdom of the devil or also known as the Antichrist kingdom. If this lesson has been a blessing to you share with others and invite them to join with us next week.
Also, if you have just joined us in this lesson and want to catch up you can simply like my page Word Up Ministries and read the previous lessons. I believe that these lessons are preparation for the upcoming final battle between the light and darkness. You have an active role to play. We have weapons of warfare for a purpose and it is important to understand what they are and how to utilize them in this final battle. I believe many have been led astray with bad teaching because many have not read God’s word to find out what we actually can do. My prayer is that you begin to walk in the full knowledge of whose you are and who you are through our Anointed King and Son of the One and Only Living God Yahweh. Well, let’s keep Jesus high and lifted up until we meet again next week Word Up!
