1MINISTRY OF KINGS 2

We have been talking about all kinds of things, ministry of kings. Amen? And we have been
talking about walking in the third realm, right. The third dimensional realm. God is moving
quickly in all kinds of areas. Tonight we want to be able to finish up the ministry of kings
because we started it last Tuesday and didn’t get to finish it. So we want to finish this up
tonight. And we know that in this end time right now - that in these third dimensional
warriors, that God is raising up kings, isn’t he. In fact, the move of the Spirit right now is
bringing us to a place where there is kingship in training to become a king. Amen? And in
this it is going to take a lot of dying. It is going to take a lot of training. It is going to take a
lot of revelation and impartation. It is going to take an area where the things you thought
were okay at one time are no longer okay. Hello. It is going to begin to expose where your
fruits are, where your focus is, and what your purpose is. Amen? See God wants to get us in
line. In line. Now would you turn to the book of Revelation please. Chapter one. The book of
Revelation, chapter one. Oh, hallelujah. Thank you Lord! The book of Revelation chapter
one. Everybody there. Thank you Master! Lord grant us that impartation tonight - let us not
only catch the anointing but be prepared to surrender - in Jesus’ name. Revelation 1:5 and it
says and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first born from the dead, and
the ruler over the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood, And has made us what? --kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory
and dominion for ever and ever. So we see here that he has made us kings and what?
Priests. Now if you will go to verse 10 please. So we see that Jesus is a king, isn’t he. Amen?
Now John was in the Spirit and he says in verse 10 - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and
heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and
the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in
Asia. Then in verse 12 - And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I
saw seven golden lamp stands; And in the midst of the seven lamp stands one like to the Son
of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girded about the chest with a golden
band. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a
flame of fire; And his feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as
the sound of many waters. He had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a
sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his strength. And
when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, do
not be afraid; I am the first and the last: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am
alive for ever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Now that is powerful!
Why? Because he is king. Does everybody understand that? So Jesus doesn’t look like the
same Jesus you see in the movies. Amen? He doesn’t look like the little Jewish boy who grew
up - he doesn’t look like any nationality we know in this world, does he! Praise be to God!
Woolen hair, fiery eyes, two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. He ain’t playing no
games! Amen? I wanted to impart that to you because he is a king. He is the King. Amen?
The King. Now go to John 19. Praise God! John chapter 19. Is everybody there? John 19:10
would you read it with me. Then said Pilate to him, are you not speaking to me? Do you not
know that I have power to crucify you, and have power to release you? Jesus answered, You
could have no power at all against me, unless it had been given you from above: therefore
the one that delivered me to you has the greater sin. Now you know I bet no one had ever
said that to Pilate before. You know what I’m saying – I don’t think Pilate ever heard anybody
standing before him saying you’ve got no power except that it was granted to you from
above. Now remember something Jesus didn’t say anything to him except for right then and
there when Pilate was trying to say I have power and authority and Jesus said you don’t have
anything! In other words, he expressed his kingship over this king. Does everybody
understand that? Of that king, of Pilate and his position. Now let’s go a little further. And
from then on Pilate sought to release him. No kidding! Pilate got revelation. --but the Jews
cried out, saying, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: whoever makes himself a
king speaks against Caesar. Now these were the religious ones. These were the ones in the
sanhedrin, supposedly all dressed up robes carrying the Word of God. Amen? They were
torah around sitting in wonderful places and here they were in the front row trying to kill
Jesus. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it
was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour: and he said to the Jews,
Behold your King! Oh, you don’t think that – oh man they were freaking out! Because now
understand this, Pilate acknowledged Jesus as a king. Do you all get that. You know and I will
tell you again, I know he never acknowledged anyone as a king. But he acknowledged Jesus
as the king and said behold your King. Now let’s go a little further. But they cried out away
with him, away with him, crucify him. And Pilate said shall I crucify your King? The chief
priest answered we have no king but Cesar. Wow! Then he delivered him to them to be
crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. Now this is powerful because Jesus showed
his authority and his power, didn’t he. Amen? Pilate acknowledged Jesus as a king. Why did
he acknowledge Jesus as a king? Because he saw the character of a king. The way he
responded. The way he acted. The way he stood and what he spoke. Pilate acknowledged
Jesus as a king. He knew something was different about this man compared to those who
were persecuting him even though he was from them. Amen? Because he was a Jew, wasn’t
he. So here they were persecuting Jesus, who was one of their own, and they were saying kill
him. But Pilate could not find anything wrong with Jesus and because of all of these things
that were going on, he acknowledged Jesus as a king. Now in verse 17 - and he bearing his
cross [Jesus bearing his cross] went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is
called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
side one, and Jesus in the middle. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. So Pilate went even further and
said listen I’m label - I know this man is a king. He couldn’t understand it - of what king or
whatever - but he knew he was a king because of his character. In verse 20, then many of
the Jews read this title: for the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it
was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. I’m telling you there was not anyone there that
could not read that the one that was crucified is the king of the Jews! Then the chief priests
of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the
Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. In other words, it is over and it is
done! Remember Jesus said it is finished, Pilate followed right along and said it is finished, he
is declared as King of the Jews. Does everybody get it? Why? Because Pilate saw the
character of a king. Now you can’t be king and raise kings, can you – unless you are a king.
Do you all understand that? So you and I – Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father as the
high priest and that’s how you and I are priests. So he had to be a king so you and I could be
kings. But there were things Jesus had to go through, didn’t he. Jesus had to go through hell
on earth, didn’t he. Amen? Look at the stuff he went through before he was recognized as a
king. Even his own did not recognize him as king yet. But Pilate in the position of authority -
as a king - recognized him. Amen? Now look at this. This is powerful. So here he talks about
authority and power – and there is something else Pilate saw about Jesus and that was the
anointing of a king. Because that is – what expressed the character of a king is the anointing
of a king. Amen? Now the religious will always kill the knowledge of the king’s anointing. Do
you understand that? The religious spirit always hates the king’s anointing because the
king’s anointing always exposes. It is always exposing. Does everybody get this? Oh,
hallelujah. Now listen - oh, praise God - Pilate acknowledged the character of the king and he
wrote it because he wanted it written in history. He wanted it to be known from the point
on– you have to remember everything that was going down was always recorded, wasn’t it.
They had records of who they crucified and everything. So it’s recorded - now on the back of
that parchment that they had above Jesus that said that he was the King of the Jews in three
different languages, on the back of it, it said what he was accused of doing. So all of these
things that he was accused of is how you and I got free from. Do you understand? He was
accused of blasphemy. He was accused of all kinds of things. All of these things that the
Jews were accusing him of were put on the back of that parchment and that is where you and
I got free from because he paid the price. Do you understand that? Because he was a what?
King. Now the only way you and I can become kings is because we are under the King of
kings. Is everybody with me? Oh, hallelujah. Go to John 18 while we are there. John 18:36
and Jesus was of course speaking with Pilate again. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of
this world.– So a king always has a kingdom, doesn’t he – My kingdom is not of this world. If
My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight,– in other words, naturally, carnally.
They would fight like every other kingdom of this world. –so that I should not be delivered to
the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here. So what Jesus was doing was bringing the
kingdom into the world. Does everybody understand that? Because he was a what? King.
Every king has a kingdom, don’t they. Amen? In other words, in the carnal arena man
cannot comprehend the kingdom of God because it is not visible to them. They can’t
understand the kingdom of God, even when Jesus and John came and they said behold the
kingdom of God, they couldn’t get it, could they. They were looking for military to come.
They were looking for a military to be led by Jesus to wipe out all the Roman empire and take
over. Remember when Jesus was getting ready to go home they said well when will Israel -
the kingdom of Israel be restored. They were still looking carnally and naturally, weren’t
they. And in this I want to really express the importance of why we are desiring to be in the
Spirit - because the kingdom is not of the natural, it’s of the supernatural. The kingdom of
God is something invisible but it expresses Himself through us so that things can be
manifested. Remember Jesus said when you pray to the Father, pray that thy kingdom will
be done on earth as it is in heaven. So we know that there is a realm of the kingdom that is
in heaven, isn’t there. Amen? In other words, there is that realm which is an invisible
kingdom and that’s why it is so important that we walk in the Spirit so that we can see the
kingdom of God. Now watch this - go to John 3. John chapter 3. Oh, hallelujah! You know
the bible says if you are carnal you can’t receive the things of the Spirit, can you. Amen? In
John chapter 3, would you read it with me. The first six verses I guess. Somewhere around
there. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: This man
came to Jesus by night, [of course he came by night, he didn’t want anyone to know he
associated with him] and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God:
for no man can do these signs that that you do, except God be with him. Now he said we
because there was only a couple of them - not the whole sanhedrin. Why? Because they
were the ones that crucified him. Jesus said to him, most assuredly I say to you unless one is
what? Born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Oh, do you get that? Born again! In
other words, if you are not born - again, you cannot see the kingdom of God. Now we have a
teaching called saved or born again and I’m not going to get into this teaching but I’m telling
you that the word “born again” I really believe is used incorrectly many times. Because there
are people who are saved but they are not born again. Do you all get that? Because he said
he who is born again can see the kingdom of God. Hello. Now watch, let’s go a little further.
Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born? Now you gotta understand this, did Nicodemus believe
who Jesus was? Yes. That means he was saved. Amen? But Jesus said to him brother you
need to get born again! Now you try and tell that to the religious sect and they just won’t get
it. It will go right over their heads. In verse 5 Jesus answered, most assuredly I say to you,
unless one is born of the what? Water. Now that is the remission of sin. Amen? That’s
salvation. AND the Spirit. Does everybody get this? He cannot enter into the kingdom of
God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is what?
Spirit. He said man, don’t marvel at this brother - you need to be born again. Now remember
the bible says that he who believes in Jesus .... Jesus was standing right there. Nicodemus
went to see him at night. Why? Because he believed him. He believed who he was and
anyone who believes in Jesus is – saved. Now we call this the state of [WADE - I did not
understand this word] –but those who are born again have been baptized in the Spirit.
Why? Because they are able to see the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of God is
manifested. Now I’m telling you this, people have been baptized in the Holy Ghost and
refused to walk in the Spirit. They still judge things carnally. Does everybody understand
that? Oh, hallelujah. Go to Romans 14. Oh, hallelujah. Romans 14, in verse 16. Is
everybody there? Would you read it with me please. Romans 14:16. Let not then your good
be evil spoken of: For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking; but righteousness, and
peace, and joy where? In the Holy Spirit!! So Jesus said listen, the kingdom of God has got
nothing to do with carnality!! The kingdom of God is in the Holy Ghost!! Why? Because the
foundation of the kingdom is built by the Spirit of the living God! Not built by letter. Hello.
Oh, glory. Go to Luke 4. Luke chapter 4. It was on my heart to lay this foundation so we can
get a better understanding about the ministry of kings. In Luke 4:18. Now Jesus comes out of
the wilderness, he goes into the synagogue and this is the first time he preaches. Now we
know that when he was a young child - right - he was in the temple and he was talking of
things and mom and dad went to go get him. And he said don’t you know I am about my
Father’s business. But mom knew better. It’s not time. Because there were a lot of things
hidden in Mary’s heart that she knew and I’m telling you what - she had more than one
visitation from angels. You kidding me?!! She was the King of Glory’s mother! For a period
of time. Verse 16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his
custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And
he was handed the book of the Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place
where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are oppressed, To
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fixed on
him. And he began to say to them, Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. You know
a lot of people probably passed out that day. [Laughter.] I mean wasn’t he just Joseph’s son
and Mary’s son and this and that and whatever. But anyways the first thing Jesus began to
preach was the anointing. Now he is actually in this scripture - right here he speaks of three
anointings. He speaks of the salvation anointing, the priestly anointing and the kingly
anointing. And he says I have been anointed with all three. Everybody with me? Oh,
hallelujah. So he was proclaiming his anointing, his position. Amen? Oh, glory. Go to Acts
10. Acts chapter 10. Hallelujah. Everybody there? Acts 10:38. Yes, glory. Yes, glory. Yes,
glory. Come on and lift your hands to heaven and get a drink, will you. Praise you Lord.
Cause I’m telling you I can sense the Spirit right now! Praise you Lord. Praise you Lord.
Thank you Lord. Fill us. Continue to remove any scales that are on anyone and any
hardening of the heart that understanding and revelation will be imparted and a desire to
fulfill kingship, in Jesus’ name. In Acts 10:38 it says how God what? -anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, [now anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.
Why? He is proclaiming all three anointings] who went about doing good and healing all who
were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Now what kind of anointing would you
look at from that? That’s called the priestly anointing that ministers. Do you understand
that? Ministering anointing. There are three types of anointings - the salvation anointing,
priestly anointing and kingly anointing. Are you with me? There is the salvation anointing,
there is a priestly anointing and a kingly anointing. Go to 1 John 2. 1 John chapter 2.
Hallelujah. Is everybody there? Verse 18. I John 2:18. Little children, it is the last hour; and
as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by
which we know that it is the last hour. Amen? Now can a believer have a spirit of antichrist?
Yes. Why? Because it is coming against the anointing. So--now listen, let’s go a little bit
further. Look at verse 19. Then it says what? They went out from us, but they were not of
us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they
might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the
Holy One, and you what? --know all things. Now what was he expressing? Listen he was
expressing they were of us but then they chose not to be with us and they set their focus and
direction in another area. In other words, they opened their heart to something else and had
gone and followed that way – but you have the kingly anointing and you know all things. Do
you understand this? Now listen, in the salvation anointing that is when God draws you. No
man comes to the Father unless he is drawn. In other words, every one of us had to be drawn
by the anointing of God to get saved. Amen? The next anointing that comes is when you are
baptized in the Holy Spirit. That’s the ministering anointing. Amen? Then God begins to
train you up because you have been called, chose and now to see if you are faithful so the
kingly anointing is released. Everybody with me? That’s why there is so much stuff in the
body of Christ. In the area of the salvation anointing, it is the ministry of grace. That’s all
they can do is preach grace. Hello. Man - I’m saved by grace that’s it! I don’t have to do
nothing - just sit there and be stupid!!!! [Laughter.] You don’t have to do anything! You can
be a couch potato for the rest of your life! You’ve been saved by grace! See the problem is
they have no revelation because the word “grace” means God’s plan in action. Jesus came in
the fullness of truth and grace. In other words, he came with God’s will. You see they can’t
go beyond the ministry of grace. That’s why they can never teach healing. They can never
teach deliverance. They can’t get into worship! Do you all understand this? Because their
limitation is salvation and grace. That is it. They go no further. They have never cast out a
devil and don’t realize they are loaded with them. Why? Let me share with you – they have
never gotten to the part of born again! They have no dominion and no power! They
constantly rely on Jesus’ grace and they never reach the kingly ministry. They do not know
how to minister to the Lord because they haven’t gotten the anointing to minister to the Lord,
which is the priestly anointing. This is why there is so much stuff in the body of Christ with
denominations and all of this garbage. Does everybody understand that? See because if
everybody got baptized in the Holy Ghost there would be a BIG difference. They wouldn’t
come against the gifts of the Spirit, raising the dead, casting out devils – they can’t interpret
the word of God to its fullness because the Holy Spirit – hello – is the author! They can only
go so far. They can only see so far. They can’t see the kingdom! That’s all they know is the
ministry of grace. Do you all understand that? That’s the anointing. It’s just the salvation
anointing. But there are two more parts. Hello. In fact, number 2 in the bible means
witness. That’s why Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes upon you then you will be a what?
Witness. Do you all get that? Why? Because they are part two. So when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you then you will be a witness. A witness of what? Now you can minister!
That’s why he told the disciples don’t you put your butt out there - no way! You wait ten
days! I don’t care if you have to order Dominos Pizza - but you wait ten days until you are
baptized in the Holy Spirit then you go out! But other than that you go--! Why? Because if
you have not completed successfully your home Jerusalem you have no right going anywhere.
God will never send you out anywhere until you have successfully completed – at your home.
Does everybody get it? Oh, hallelujah. That’s why there is self proclaimed this and self-
proclaimed that. People are going out there and trying to minister and they have never
fulfilled their priesthood. They are still looking in the carnal arena. Do you all understand
this? Look, there are a lot of people that even say yes I’ve been baptized in the Holy Spirit–
and I’m not saying that God’s not touching them or baptizing them but now they are not
utilizing it. Because it is your responsibility to get in the Spirit. Hello. It’s your responsibility
to yield to the Spirit of God so that the kingdom of God is manifested! You know it grieves my
spirit because some people will never get it and miss so much. Peace, joy and righteousness
in the Holy Ghost is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is in power not in word. It is in
power! Oh, hallelujah! Do you all get this? Turn to Daniel 11. Now this is pretty amazing
isn’t it because he said now you’ve got the anointing and you know all things. So if you don’t
know all things, you are not walking in the anointing. Hello. If you can’t see - if you can’t
discern the ethics, the character, the governing laws of the kingdom of God, you are not
walking in the Spirit. You are walking in the flesh. If you can’t see these things - you are
carnal. I don’t care if you are praying in the Spirit, raising your hand and thanking God - if
you can’t see these things, you are carnal. Why because you are focusing on the things of
carnality. You are focusing and reasoning on natural common sense and not the things of the
Spirit because you can’t hear. You are deaf. And if you are deaf you will always be carnal.
Are you hearing me? It’s important!! That’s why people can’t hear the voice of God. Or they
started to but then they started going in their own strength and doing things that they feel –
are you with me? – instead of what the Spirit is really leading them to because they have lost
that sensitivity. They have gotten too caught up in carnality. Their hearts have become
hardened and their ears have become deaf. Now they hear what they want to hear instead of
what the Spirit is saying because they can’t see. They can’t see things through. They don’t
see the ripple effect of what’s about to happen in what they just did. They don’t realize that
everything that they do has just affected everyone in the whole kingdom of God and
somebody has to make up for it. Amen? In Daniel 11 - oh, hallelujah - in verse 32. Praise
you Master. Would you read it with me. Those who do wickedly against the covenant he
shall corrupt with flattery: but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out
great exploits. Whoa!! People that know their God! People who know their King! I said
know! Not just read about. Oh you can read about Jesus all you want man. You can read
about the King of Glory -you can get in your word all day long – read, read, read. Know the
page numbers and you can memorize everything! –And never meet Him. And never meet
Him. You know why? Because you are stuck in the ministry and the anointing of grace. Are
you understanding? Listen, even if you got baptized in the Holy Ghost you can still make the
choice to go back to the ministry of grace - the anointing of grace. I have seen people that
have been baptized, freed, get really going and all of a sudden I see them a little bit later and
man they are as religious as can be. They are hiding behind the word of God and I can see
their fruit. It stinks and they are all carnal. They started out right but they are not continuing
that way. Why? Because one of the things that must – Let me tell you one of the things that
the anointing always does to you, it keeps you humble. The anointing will always keep you
humble! The anointing will always say come on man– You’ll be sensitive to the anointing.
Why? Because God cannot flow through live people. He flows through dead ones. That’s
why Jesus said do you not understand I am the resurrection!! Do you all understand this? I’m
telling you we have got to get this in this time. You have to make a choice today what you
want to do. Jesus stands before you this day - who will you serve? Yourself? If you serve
yourself, you serve the devil! If you live in the carnal, the bible says that he who sets his
mind on carnality will perish. What does God say? My people are destroyed for lack of what?
Lack of knowledge. But you can have knowledge and never use it. Never use it. There are
people who have been studying the word of God and all kinds of stuff for 15 - 20 years and
never use it. The devil keeps stealing it and stealing it and stealing it. Why? Because they
are so caught up in the salvation anointing. The anointing and the ministry of grace. You
know why? They don’t want to pay the price. They don’t want to pay the price. I’m satisfied
- I’m saved. That’s good - but that’s not what God called you for. That’s not what he has just
called you for – he has not called just to save you. He didn’t come just to save you. Hello.
That’s why he commanded-!! Does everyone understand? He COMMANDED that the
disciples, which were 500 of them on the day of Pentecost, to wait for the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Does everybody get it? And only 120 of them obeyed. 380 started denominations.
[Laughter.] Oh, glory! Is everyone alright? Praise God. God is raising the ministry of kings.
This is the last time - end time - army will be ministry of kings. Not wimps. Not the ministry
of salvation. Hello. Remember, Paul said it’s time to move on. It’s time to lay these things
down and move on! Move on to what? Move on to bigger and better things in the Spirit.
Now don’t get me wrong the ministry of salvation will never leave. Do you understand that?
But there is more, isn’t there. There is more! Far be it that we bring someone to the Lord
and leave them!! Hi, yes - come to Jesus - you got it brother! [Laughter.] --And then not tell
them about any power! And they go back every time, don’t they. Or they come in bondage -
and they are constantly calling out to Jesus, oh Jesus help me!! Because they are only
involved in the ministry of grace, salvation. But they don’t know - Jesus said listen I didn’t
come to give you peace - I came to bring you a sword. Now use it!! He wouldn’t tell us to get
dressed in the full armor of God if we didn’t need it! Hello. He didn’t say in Mark 16 to go
cast out a devil, would he - unless he meant it!! We are no longer involved in the ministry of
salvation. We are involved in the ministry of taking territory!!!!!! We are involved in the
ministry - the bible says that we are more than conquerors. Let me tell you that when you
take territories, souls come with it! Does everybody get it? Oh, hallelujah. Go to Psalm 18.
Hallelujah! Psalm 18. Remember Jesus didn’t tell him you need to be saved. What did he
say? You need to be born again. Glory. Psalm 18 and I believe verse 39. Oh check this out
man. That’s my brother David man - that’s a king! Start at verse 35. You have also given
me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has
made me great. You have enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip. I have
pursued my what? --enemies, and overtaken them-- David didn’t play no games, man!
Everybody get it? He didn’t cry out, “awww....Jesus....ooohhhh...do something!” [Laughter.]
He did, he gave him a sword! He said I have pursued my enemies and have overtaken them.
You gotta pursue your enemy and overtake them! You cannot fight the devil underneath the
bed! [Laughter.] You must bring your light from underneath that bushel. [More laughter.]
Man one night I was in the back room and my little choochoowahwah - my dog – what do they
call those things? Labradoodles— should be named– anyway I was in the back room. I was
laying on the bed and I had the TV on when all of a sudden I heard a scuttle and I heard
“woof” --and I’m telling you that dog moon-walked backwards all the way, all the way down
the hallway. [Lots of laughter.] With her little woof, woof, woof - she walked right by the bed
I was sitting on, and went on the other side behind there and stuck her head out. I’m
thinking, alright what’s up here. I’m thinking either her shadow scared her or there was
something in the house. So I began to do spiritual warfare - I am not taking any chances,
either. If the dog is moon-walking in front of me down the hallway, I gotta do something
about it, you know! I’m telling you she would not take one step forwards - she went
backwards all the way! With her little woof, woof - she couldn’t even bark. So then I tried to
get her out - I said come on Gra– and her name is Grace, wouldn’t you know that! She was
under the anointing of grace, not the anointing of a king! [Lots of laughter.] I had better
change her name. And cast that religious spirit out of her, I guess. [More laughter.] So I
would go out in the hallway and I’m going, come on Grace. And I’m binding powers of
darkness and I’m commanding that spirit of fear to go because I know– and then she comes -
woof- and she looks at me and I said, come on, it’s alright. I’d go out in the kitchen and I’m
still waiting for her to go down the hallway! She’s crawling down the hallway and I’m trying
to convince her everything is cool - the blood – it cool! And I went in the living room and her
little head just went around the cabinet. Then she finally came out. And I thought, man what
a wimp! [Laughter.] I missed my Doberman! But see they don’t bark so quick. They wait
until they get near you and then they go after you - that’s the kind of attack I like! Praise
God. Good strategies - Dobermans have good strategies. They wait until you hop the fence,
get in the yard and then they go– hello. [Lots of laughter.] Hi. You must be tonight’s desert.
But the little choochoowahwahs - man they bark when they know you are coming from two
miles away. They start barking before you even get there so nobody can catch the people.
Hallelujah. Anyway let’s continue on. Verse 37. I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken
them: neither did I turn back again until they were what? –destroyed. In other words, he
followed it all the way through. That’s what a king does - they don’t take any garbage.
That’s the anointing of a king - follows it all the way through. I would have wounded them so
that they could not rise. They are fallen under my feet. Well, check this out --For you have
armed me with strength for battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against
me. You have also given me the necks of my enemies so that I destroyed those who hated
me. Glory to God. And that’s where the bible says no weapon formed against you will
prosper and every tongue that rises up against you, you shall condemn! Not run. Hello.
Praise God we’re going somewhere. Let me share something with you. He said that the Lord
armed him with strength for battle. They are always ready to go into battle. A king’s ministry
is always ready to go into battle. Amen? You know why? Because they feed on strong meat
of the word. They feed on strong meat. Not milk. Those who just drink milk can’t go into
battle. Do you all understand this? You must feed on meat. That’s where the revelation
comes. That’s where strong meat comes. Amen? Go to Hebrews 5. Hebrews chapter 5. Is
everybody alright? So if you hear me call you a choochoowahwah you know why, right? Oh,
you little choochoowahwah ---- [Laughter.] Praise God. Hebrews chapter 5. Everybody there?
Good. Hebrews chapter 5, let’s see where we are going. In verse 12, everybody see it? For
though by this time you ought to be teachers, and you need someone to teach you again
which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk, and not
solid food. In other words, you’ve gone backwards instead of forwards. By now you should
have been walking in understanding and seeing these things! By now you should have
gotten it!! Why have you gone backwards instead of forwards. For every one that partakes
only of milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. I’m telling you that
there are people who have been 30 years in Christ and are still babes because they are still
focusing on carnality and not Spirit. Amen? Let me tell you something kings don’t eat junk
food. Hello. I’m talking about junk food. You know what I’m talking about - junk. Work -
things that are junk out there - people preaching junk! Soulish ministry of junk. I get e-mails
from people– I get letters– people ask did you read my – I don’t read junk mail and I don’t eat
junk food! Amen? Oh, hallelujah. In verse 14 – But solid food belongs to them that are of full
age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both what? –
good and evil. Let me tell you, that discernment is important! Listen, you can hear meat
word and never grasp it. Never put it– Amen? There’s a lot of people that want to go out and
do the things of God but they have not fulfilled– hello. –and been successful in the home.
You have no right going out anywhere until you are successful and have completed things in
the home. Amen? Does everybody get it? And that’s where an individual needs to put into
practice those things that they have learned. I’m telling you, God has had me leave
messages with people and write things once in a while – not very often, maybe just a few
times, telling them - don’t tell anyone about Jesus. Don’t tell anyone you know Jesus. And
they have called me back and said why? And I said because you are a liar and a thief. What
do you mean I am a liar and a thief? That’s right. Jesus doesn’t lie to me. I know what the
Holy Ghost has told me about you and you are a liar and a thief and stop going around telling
people about Jesus until you get right with God. And when you know you gotta get right with
God. First of all you gotta get right. Then he causes you to get everything else right with
God. Amen? Your position, your finances, your relationships. He tells you to get all of these
things right. People are going around preaching about things but they are not right with God.
And they are waiting for the blessings of God and for things to happen when they are not
right. Why? Because the devil is the only one blessing them. Hello. Solid food! Not junk
food. Praise God. Go to Luke 11. Luke 11. The ministry of kings. Jesus will always put you
in an area where there are requirements of how you obey what he says. In Luke 11:21 -
When a strong man fully armed guards his own palace, his goods are in peace: But when a
stronger than he comes upon him and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor in
which he trusted, and divides his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and he that
gathers not with me scatters. Wow! So this is how believers become overtaken, then they
become scatterers instead of gatherers. Why? He’s telling you right there it’s a fight! It’s a
war! He says when somebody’s armor is taken - in other words - or trusts in their armor
instead of trusting in the Lord. Does everybody get this? In other words, that person has
been stripped from fighting. Stripped. And can’t fight. Can’t overcome. And then what
happens is that the devil– they become a scatterer instead of a gatherer. Does everybody
understand that? Listen, we must be stronger and take demons right out of your territory.
Amen? Let me tell you, you can’t pet evil. You can’t pet evil. You can’t dance with evil. You
can’t play with it. Because you open the door to the devil. And the bible says make no place
for the devil - he will wipe you out in a second. Amen? He will wipe you out in a second. He
is out to steal, kill and destroy. He is no respecter of persons. We must be stronger and take
dominion over all of these areas and continue to drive out these demons from those
territories. The first territory they need to be constantly driven out of is the temple. If you
can’t drive out a devil out of the temple you can’t drive it out of anywhere else. If your
temple is not clean, you are not under authority. Does everybody understand that? Psalm
92. Glory. Hallelujah. Psalm 92. Praise you Lord. In verse 10. No let’s start at verse 8 - But
you, LORD, are most high for ever more. For behold your enemies, O LORD, behold your
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn you have
exalted like a wild ox: I shall be anointed with what? --fresh oil. My eye also has what?
--seen my desire on my enemies, and my ears hear my desire on the wicked that rise up
against me. That’s a kingly anointing. That’s why we must– it is essential to maintain fresh
oil. In other words, fresh anointing. Some of us sometimes need an oil change. Amen? We
need to get rid of that filter and all the garbage that you have been collecting. Let me tell
you, the temple is not interested in antiques. Hello. No antiques. No dust collectors. Amen?
Go to 1Kings 3. 1Kings chapter 3. Hallelujah. Now antiques and dust collectors are
representations of also idols. Oh, glory. Yes, yes we want to go on from the ministry of grace
of salvation and continue on to the ministry of priests so that we can fulfill kingship. In I
Kings 3:9. It says give to Your servant an understanding heart to what? –judge Your people,
that I may what? –discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people
of Yours? Now this was Solomon’s request. Amen? Let me share with you that in the
ministry of kings we must be able to make decisions and judgments swiftly. Executing
judgment is a function of a king. You execute a judgment– In fact, the Lord rebuked Israel
because they refused to execute judgment. Does everybody get that? In the ministry of
kings that God is raising up, what the Holy Spirit is going to bring you to is to have the
discernment so that you can judge quickly. Does everybody understand that? You don’t
have to go around praying for two days before something happens, somebody could already
be dead. You know, its like someone needing food and you tell them you’ll be back in a
week. You must be able to execute judgment. That is a function of a king. In other words,
making a righteous judgment on everything quickly. Sometimes there is no time is there. In
Proverbs 29. Ministry of kings. Proverbs 29. Glory. In verse 14 it says The king who judges
the poor with truth, His throne will be what? –established forever. He who judges the poor
with truth. Now listen, in this area the poor are -- he is expressing that they can’t fight. Does
everybody understand that? He who judges the poor with truth. In other words– and there is
no compromise as to whether they are poor in finances or wealthy in finances or whether
they are somebody or nobody. Amen? He who judges the poor righteously because
sometimes they can’t defend themselves. And in this he says you must judge the poor in the
area where you are going to assist in their growth. Everybody with me? You have got to be
able to what? Assist in their growth. Why? No listen, sometimes there are tough decisions.
Amen? Sometimes people are removed from a kingdom. Sometimes they are chastened.
Sometimes they are counseled. Whatever. But this is all associated with territory. Territory.
Because you have the poor - you have the wealthy. Amen? You cannot be any respecter of
persons. Everybody is judged. Amen? According to the way of the Spirit - it says how you
judge them. Now, I’m talking about making decisions. I’m not talking about going around
judging all kinds of people. I’m talking about what God puts in front of your path and how you
are to judge. Amen? Does everybody understand that? Because one of the things you are
always doing is judging fruit, aren’t you. If the fruit stinks you know something is not right.
Right. You can’t believe somebody whose fruit stinks. Amen? You can’t believe them. They
can say everything they want - but you can’t believe them. Oh, hallelujah. Psalm 149. Two
more scriptures and then we are done. Psalm 149. Is everybody alright? Are you getting
this? In verse 8 and 9. Well let’s start at verse 6 - Let the high praises of God be in their
mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, And
punishments on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of
iron; To execute on them the written judgment [see you are judging by what has been
written]— This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord. In other words, it is available for all
the saints to begin to walk in the kingly anointing. Does everybody hear me? Good. Now – I
guess I better go here. Go to Isaiah 11. I want to share something quick about the kingly
anointing. Now we talked about the anointing of salvation, the ministry of grace, the
anointing of a priest to minister – and the kingly anointing. The kingly anointing is used to
build. Does everybody get it? The kingly anointing is used to build. In Isaiah 11 starting at
verse 1. There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Everybody see that? The Spirit of the LORD shall
rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The
Spirit of knowledge and of the fear [or reverence] of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of
the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His
ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of
the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips
He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the
belt of His waist. Does everybody see that? That is the kingly anointing to build. Those are
the seven anointings that the king will always walk in. Does everybody see that? What’s it
for? To build. The kingly anointing builds. How is he going to build? Because the Spirit of
the Lord is going to be upon him. He will have what? The Spirit of wisdom. He will have the
Spirit of understanding. He will have the Spirit of counsel - in other words, he will have
counsel - constant counsel is always running within the king. Always. Why? Because he
always discerning. He is always judging. There is always a time - execution of things.
Decisions that need to be made. All kinds of things in that arena. That kingly anointing. He
will have the anointing of wisdom and understanding. Does everybody see this? He will have
the anointing of knowledge. Revelation knowledge that will come. I am not talking about
knowledge you read about. Amen. Does everybody understand that? And of course they will
always have the reverence or fear of the King who has anointed him to be king or her to be
king. Everybody got it? Go to Revelation 4 while we are here. How many of you all want the
kingly anointing? Praise God. Well it’s to build. Amen? The kingly anointing is used to build.
In Revelation chapter 4 - is everybody there - verse 2. And John said immediately I was in
the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat
there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around
the throne, in appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and
on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had what? –
crowns of gold on their heads. Why? Because they were kings. Now those are the twelve
apostles – disciples from the new testament and then there are twelve from the old
testament. There was an association of 24 elders and that’s where King David sits and so
forth. Does everybody understand this? Samuel and whatever - because they were the kings
and they had crowns - why? Because of what they walked in when God ordained them. They
were faithful. Those are the 24 elders. Those are known – when God sends forth and sends
out – the bible talks about the Spirit of counsel, right? Well there is the Spirit of counsel and
there is the counsel of the Spirit. Now the 24 elders are associated with the counsel of the
throne. When God expresses, it goes through the elders and from the elders it goes to the
spirits. Does everybody get this? Oh, hallelujah. Look at verse 5, read it with me. And from
the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning
before the throne, which are what? –the seven Spirits of God. Remember we just talked
about the seven anointings of the king and did they not have crowns on? Yes. Does
everybody get this? You all alright? Good. Praise God. We need the kingly anointing and
the authority to advance against the undermining attacks of darkness. Amen? In the present
and in the future. Let me share something with you very important. God is accelerating
things in the third day because we are in the third day. And we must be willing to adapt to
the faster pace. I’m going to say that one more time. God is accelerating things in the third
day and we must be willing to adapt to the faster pace in responsibility and efficiency with
the Spirit of excellence. Everybody get it? Daniel was acknowledged with the Spirit of
excellence. Joseph was acknowledged with the Spirit of excellence. We must be willing to
adapt to the faster pace. I didn’t say anxiousness. I said the faster pace. Amen? In fact, go
to I Samuel 21. Almost done. But I’m finishing. But it’s a good night to die, right? 1 Samuel
21 verses 7 through 9. Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day,
detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen
who belonged to Saul. And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here on hand a spear or a
sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s
business required haste. Because the king’s business required what? Haste. So the priest
said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is,
wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other
except that one here. And David said, There is none like it; give it to me. So God provided
the what? Sword. But he said something important, he said man I forgot my stuff because of
the king’s what? Haste. Because of the pace. We have got to begin to adapt to the faster
pace of what God is doing. Does everybody understand that? It is so important. Praise God.
In Proverbs 24:6. Proverbs 24 in verse 6 - then two more scriptures. God willing. Alright we
will start at verse 3. Through wisdom a house is what? –built, and by understanding it is
what? –established. So through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is
established. By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise
man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; For by wise counsel you will wage
your own war, and in a multitude of counselors there is what? Safety. That’s why it is so
important, even in the king’s counsel - in that area - that those around the king, that are
walking in the kingly anointing - that you want to be like-minded. Amen? Like-minded. In
other words, something that you might miss, the other person will pick up. Amen? That’s why
the kings always had the round tables, didn’t they. So all there could see. In other words,
because of the move of haste and so many things that have to be done, God will put around
you those who are walking in the Spirit to begin to assist and pickup because you become
like-minded. Amen? Glory to God. Okay let’s go to Revelation 19. Now, I’m going to close
here but I want you to understand something. The purpose of the kingly anointing also in the
things where there is haste and where God has ordained with the seven anointings of the
kingly ministry - it is also to establish strategies. Strategies are important. I didn’t say plans.
I said strategies. I don’t make plans. Whatever God gives me is for a strategy. In other
words, another way to infiltrate the powers of darkness. Another way to do something else.
Does everybody understand that? Strategies. The kingly anointing is always associated with
strategies. Why? Because it is always building and before you can build you have to
conquer. Do you get it? That’s why we are to start taking territory. That’s why the bible says
we are more than conquerors. Amen? In this last day, third day warriors, third dimensional
warriors, the kingly anointing will be established because there is going to be a ministry of
kings. And queens. Hallelujah. Wouldn’t want to leave the queens out. Amen? God is not a
respecter of persons. It depends what you desire to walk in. What you are really willing to
yield to. And are you still willing to do whatever it takes. Amen? Glory to God. Revelation
19, in verse 11 - everybody there? Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and
makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,
that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He
Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS and what? LORD OF LORDS. King of
Kings and what? Lord of Lords. Do you all understand that? Why? Because we are kings
and he is the King of all kings. Amen? So the purpose of this teaching is to bring you a desire
to want to walk in the ministry of kings. It is available for you. There is training. The Holy
Spirit is going to train you. You will enter Holy Ghost boot camp. Amen? Sometimes over
and over and over. The training never stops. There is always training and testing. What is
he always testing you for? Your discernment. Do you all get this? He is always going to test
your discernment, isn’t he. And he is going to test something else. Your faithfulness. Two
things will always be tested. Discernment and faithfulness. And if you have not come into
the area and the arena of complete faithfulness - complete discernment - he will keep you
right in that place. He will not send you until you are successful in completing the faithful and
discernment area of home we call Jerusalem. Right where you are at. Everybody get it?
Faithfulness and discernment. Then he begins to send you. Amen? Praise God. Father, we
give you thanks and praise for your word. Lord we desire to walk in the ministry of kings and
we are willing to do whatever it takes. So train us. Train us according to your will through
your Spirit. And cause us to become faithful - cause us to learn discernment. Cause us to do
your will. And we promise to give you all the glory, all the honor and all the praise. And
everyone said? AMEN.
