FULFILLING YOUR KINGDOM MANDATE PART 2
Date Teaching Given: September 6, 2023
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word (Romans 10:17).
The word ‘mandate’ means an official order or commission to do something.
You are supposed to live under the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of man.
If you are born again, the Greater One, God, lives on the inside of you. And because God lives in you, the Kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit, is also within you. God’s Kingdom rules over everything. So, because God’s Kingdom is within you, you have God’s authority, power, and dominion over the whole Earth. This means we rule (have power and authority) over the kingdom of darkness.
Luke 17:21
The Kingdom of God is within you.
You have a Kingdom Mandate- to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Your five physical senses limit your ability to receive from God.
You do not have to be subject to this worldly system as a child of the Most High God; the worldly system limits you and what God wants you to have.
2 Kings 7:1-10, 16, 19-20
Even when it looks like you’re surrounded, and everything is going wrong, remember Who is on your side- God.
God’s Words are from the unseen supernatural realm and do not align with what you see in the natural (until God moves).
You are to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
What you see in the natural is subject to change when you declare God’s Word over a situation. God’s Word manifests in the spiritual realm first. Therefore, things in the natural are not how they appear to be because they have not yet lined up with the truth of how things already are in the spiritual realm.
Get the doubt and unbelief out of your heart.
Nothing is impossible with God. God has no limits, so don’t limit Him. God can change any situation in an instant.
You are to share God’s good news- the Kingdom news.
The Lord’s Words always come to pass.
Do not mock the Lord or those He chooses to use as His mouthpieces (prophets).
The enemy always uses the same tactics to get you to bow and surrender out of desperation. It’s a strategy of war.
The enemy wants you to walk in fear, but God wants you to be Kingdom (God)-inside minded.
The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:20-21).
There is another way to live– (God’s way) by faith. We are to walk by faith and not by sight. This is a Kingdom Mandate. It requires your trust and obedience.
When we obey God’s Kingdom Mandate, we receive His blessings.
Genesis 1:26-28
You have complete power, authority, and dominion.
You are to be fruitful and multiply.
Being fruitful means to produce.
Your spirit is designed to produce.
The Kingdom of God is within you.
The Greater One lives on the inside of you (1 John 4:4).
You produce by believing God’s Word in your heart and speaking it out of your mouth.
Which do you believe more- God’s Word or your feelings? God’s Word or your five physical senses?
You are supposed to walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7). Therefore, you should be telling your body what to do.
By Jesus’ stripes, you were healed (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24).
You are supposed to be in control because of the authority given to you by Almighty God.
Speak the Words of God. God is faithful to perform His Word (Hebrews 10:23).
God’s way of living is different. You don’t have to experience and go through what everyone else does.
John 17:13-17
Don’t limit yourself to the boundaries of the natural world.
When you became a child of God, your boundaries changed, so now you are not limited to the natural boundaries of this world.
God wants His joy perfected in you. His joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Your spirit is your heart (not the blood pumping organ).
You are a three-part being (1 Thessalonians 5:23) made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-28).
You are a spirit, you have a soul (mind, will, and emotions), and you live in a physical body.
God is also three parts (the Trinity):
Father
Son
Holy Ghost
God’s Word separates you from the world. God’s Word is truth and sets you free (John 8:32).
Renew your mind with the Word of God (Romans 12:2).
Renewing your mind with the Word of God will change your perspective. You will start to see things through the eyes of Christ rather than through the eyes of the world.
We are not supposed to be limited by what we see in the natural.
Jesus said- you will do greater works than I do because I go to My Father (John 14:12).
You have a Kingdom Mandate– do not be subject to this world.
Matthew 14:14-20
Jesus was showing the disciples how to live– by faith.
Don’t look to natural means. Don’t look to worldly ways. Don’t look to man.
There is a different way of doing things that the natural mind can’t comprehend– God’s way, His Kingdom way.
God’s blessing - like in Genesis 1:26-28 – is an empowerment for you to prosper, succeed, excel, increase, and rise above everything that is trying to keep you back and hold you down.
Five loaves and two fishes fed thousands because God is a supernatural God.
Jesus first blessed the loaves and the fishes, then the multiplication happened.
He is a God of increase, surplus, and multiplication. He is your source of supply.
You have a Kingdom Mandate– to live in God and through Him, have God be your source and healer, and have God be number one in your life.
God desires for all of us to see the Kingdom at work.
God is the multiplier. With God, there is more than enough. And He is not limited to the natural because He is a supernatural God.
You are supposed to do greater works than Jesus because He went to (and now resides with) the Father in Heaven (John 14:12).
Isaiah 8:18
You are supposed to be a sign and wonder on Earth, not like everyone else, and you are to be set apart and different, not subject to what is going on in the world.
The Body of Christ has been subject to what’s been going on in the world because of a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
The Kingdom of God (Luke 17:21) and the Greater One are on the inside of you (1 John 4:4).
The Greater One multiplies, heals, provides, restores, and brings victory.
God is the Greater One.
God is asking you to believe Him more than what you see or hear and more than what your five physical senses tell you.
God is unlimited and He wants you to tap into all that He is.
God can use anyone that is willing.
Ephesians 5:1
The word ‘imitate’ means to be followers of God; copy and model oneself after God.
The phrase ‘followers of God’ means to mimic and imitate God (1 Corinthians 11:1).
This is a command, an order from God.
Learn all you can about God and mimic His characteristics.
Draw close to Him, walk with Him, talk with Him, speak His Words, do His Will, and obey Him.
Matthew 5:13-14
You have a Kingdom Mandate- to be the salt of the Earth and to be light in the midst of darkness.
Salt cleanses and heals.
Light destroys the darkness.
You are not supposed to be partakers of the darkness.
You are not supposed to be like everyone else.
You are supposed to be imitators of God.
Jesus said you are supposed to do greater works than He did, and He had a ministry of miracles (John 14:12).
You have authority, power, and dominion as a child of God.
As a child of God, you are not subject to what is going on in the world.
God is the multiplier.
God is Jehovah Jireh, your ultimate provider, your source (Philippians 4:19).
This means there is another way to live– God’s way.
Tap into the source- God. You need to believe He is your source more than you believe what you see.
We don’t have to know how God will do something; we just have to believe He wins in the end. There is no one like your God.
God wants you to live as His children here on Earth. God wants you to be blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2).
Truth is the Word of God.
He will liberally supply your every need (Philippians 4:19).
God doesn’t need your help; He just needs your faith and trust in Him.
God is your provider so praise the Lord that He is bigger than any situation or circumstance.
Speak the supernatural into existence by speaking God’s Words of faith.
Believe God and trust Him. Don’t be like the Israelites that doubted and murmured against God.
Don’t limit God.
You have a Kingdom Mandate- to walk by faith and trust in God and His Word more than what you see (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Jesus is the second Adam and He redeemed us from the curse (Galatians 3:13).
You are never too far gone to receive God’s grace, mercy, or forgiveness. You are not unworthy. His grace, mercy, and forgiveness are always refreshed and renewed every day. He is just waiting for you to turn to Him.
You are special to Almighty God.
God is the Great I AM.
He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8; Malachi 3:6).
Expect God to move on your behalf.
Fill your heart with the Word of God.
Prayer
God gives you the ability to be victorious (2 Corinthians 9:8).
