say heaven I mean in the government of God and then if you come into a situation where there is a there is a contradiction between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world which one do you think you go with kingom of God kingdom of God okay when there comes a contradiction between what the Bible says and what some professional says which one do you go with what the Bible says now I’m I’m saying that because you’re under this Kingdom this is your priority now now the Bible talks about your citizens

of the Kingdom but it also talks about you and I been taken out of Darkness Into The Marvelous Light Colossians chapter 1 where he says here in verse 12 giving thanks unto the father who has made us meat or able to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints of light say Saints pardon me Saints in light say Saints in light Saints in who had delivered us from the power of what Darkness into the and translated us into the kingdom of his dear what son his son is the light of the world so we’ve been transferred out of one Kingdom into

another now in that this kingdom of darkness rules in this earth and it rules from the temporal level I mean Satan has his headquarters I know in the spiritual realm but it rules from the temporal level now what do I mean by that I mean that this world is based on information gathered by the senses by the senses the eye the ear the nose so forth and so on but over here in the Kingdom of Light the information is directly from God into our Spirits you you with me here now it talks about the heart now realize this

by the way you are not going to live in heaven I know people say well I’m going home to be you know with the Lord and so forth well the Bible talks about Paul teaches about at home in the body see the idea about it is Heaven for you is only a staging area it’s an area where you go until the Saints are gathered then you coming back here so this whole idea of the kingdom was something that Jesus preached because it was a different reality and in this dispensation it’s invisible but it has visible manifestations because

it’s so powerful and um so we talked about that in in in terms of this Kingdom now the other thing is is that we went to Mark 11 let’s go over there please and over in Mark 11 by the way the Bible is really the only book to really talks about life after death and what goes on Mark 11 all right let’s start reading at verse 12 and in the tomorrow when they were come from Bethany he was hungry talking about about Jesus and seeing a fig tree a far off having leaves he came if happily might find anything thereon

and when he came to it it found nothing but leaves for the time of figs was not yet and Jesus answered and said to it no man eat fuit of thee Hereafter forever and his disciples heard it now notice he talked to the tree then he went on in Jerusalem and turned over the tables and so forth and so on in verse 7 17 he mentions and he taught saying is it not written my house shall be called of all Nations a House of Prayer but you’ve made it a den of Thieves and come on down to verse 19 and when evening was come he went out

of the city and in the morning as they passed by they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots and Peter calling to remembrance he said to him Master behold the Fig Tree which you cursed is withered away and Jesus answer and said to them have faith in God now another way of saying that is what have the god kind of faith for verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say into this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things that he

say shall come to pass he shall have what whatsoever he saith therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire When you pray believe that you what receive them and you you shall have them all right now this where we venture out now realize what God is doing now and this is what this is all about that I’m talking to you about right now is that God is sending you into Canaan it’s where you’re going You’re that harvesting generation and he’s sending you into Canaan well you know anything about them

they went out and spied out Canaan and came back and 10 of them gave an evil report two of them gave a good report so God had to wait he couldn’t take that Bunch into Canaan because of the fear that they had the wrong image that they had and so what he did is waited for them to raise their children up and then they the older generation died off and he had the children and now he’s going to take them in and I’m telling you you are the children you’re the ones that he raised up I don’t care how old you are

you’re the children and God is going to take you in you’ve been chosen to go in and possess that land you’ve been chosen for all right now what we have to do is understand that again there’s a temporal world that’s a world of the senses and Satan the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 he’s God of the world the world system he’s God of that world all right that’s a sense world so he has jurisdiction over or he has uh dominion over that because he’s carrying it because he has ability to

deceive people so he can turn things and twist things in that world to make people think that they’re doing the right thing or whatever have you and that’s the Bible in the scripture says there’s a way that seems right to a man but the end of that way is death because it’s twisted over here and that’s why they call it wicker come wicker furniture it’s twisted rope and they got that word wicker and wicked it’s wicked he’s a he’s a spirit of wickedness all right so over here is

light over here is truth and this is what Jesus came all truth the Bible says is in Christ in Jesus and so he comes as the light of the world he comes the light of every place now in John chapter 3 he says that that people love Darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil okay so now he comes with the light and he comes to tell people what is right what is true so forth and so on all right so to get them out of the place where they are now turn to Romans chapter 10 and in Romans chapter 10 we talked about the whole idea of

believing to believe now the Bible says that in Romans chapter 4 and verse three I’m not going to read that it says I mean I’m not going to go there but what sayith the scripture Abraham believed God and it was accounter to him for righteousness he believed God now what do he believe about God or from God God says I’m goingon to make you a father of a multitude I said he said you’re going to have a child now this is at the age Beyond CH childbearing this is at the age where uh Abraham uh and Sarah had

Sarah had never had children and now Abraham is beyond childbearing now God said you’re gonna have a child but he believed God got what I’m saying now notice the same belief is over there in Mark 11: 24 whatsoever things you desire When you pray come on Bel same ain’t believing now so I’m not believing anything possible this is for the impossible imposs and to take impossible out of your vocabulary because now I’m going to give you something that makes everything possible is this making sense to

[Music] you so I got to believe so look what it says in Romans chapter 10 in verse 8 but what saith it the word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart that is the word of faith which we preach that if Thou shalt confess to thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God has raised him from the dead Thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation now so I got to believe with my heart now when he says heart is he talking about the blood pump no no he’s

talking about my spirit the real me so I’m going to believe with the real me what the Bible says now with the with the natural mind I’m find that hard to believe matter of fact I say I don’t believe that why because I’ve evaluated it based on the senses and the collection of data oh Jesus over the years that I’ve lived and What I’ve seen and in my opinion that is impossible but if I take it in my spirit my spirit loves the word of God see that’s bread to my my spirit and so if I eat

that it’ll produce the faith to do anything Lord have mercy now I want you to see this now because I’m not asking you to believe this with your head because this is too big for your head whatever God had told me to do it was beyond my capacity to do it this is me now I want you to come to Chicago with $200 in the family impossible you in Chicago no way to stay $200 where you out and so my point to you is I had to believe God so here is Mary and notice what happened what we said about Mary let me just turn to that real quick so here’s
