This week Pastor Vlad continues his Jesus series with a message title, Kingdom Mentality. In this message you find a mindset and outlook toward life that will lead you into all victory and blessing. Sermon Notes: The Kingdom of Heaven it’s where God personally abides, it’s a PLACE. The Kingdom of God is the rule of God in the heart of man, it’s a PERSON. According to Romans 14:17, the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the oxygen of the Kingdom of God. 1. Jesus is the King. (Is 9:6; Mt 2:2; John 12:15; Mt 27:11-12) He was born a king. He claimed to be a king. He died as a king. Jesus is coming back as a King. Difference between a king and president? - A king is never voted into power (Luke 2:11) - A king’s word is law in his territory (Ps.119:72; Mt.5:18) - A king personally owns everything in his domain (1 Cor.10:26) - The king chooses who will be a citizen of his kingdom (Phil.3:20-21; John 15:16) - The kingdom’s glory is in the happiness and health of its citizens (Luke 12:22-24) If you see Jesus as a savior, you will come to Him with your sin. If you see Jesus as a healer, you will come to Him with your sickness. If you see Jesus as a deliverer, you will come to Him with your demons. If you see Jesus as a king, you will come to Him with worship (as wise men did). 2. Jesus preached the Kingdom. (Mt.4:17; 10:7; 14:14) Gospel – “evangelion” or “good news” Gospel is not message in itself but rather description of message. We are not commanded to preach the gospel but the gospel of the Kingdom. The word “ salvation" and “saved" is mentioned 12 times in the gospels but the word “kingdom” is mentioned 127 times. Jesus preached more about the Kingdom than salvation, healing and deliverance because all these things are in the Kingdom. We ought to seek the Kingdom and everything else will be added to us (Mt.6:33). Presence of God brings PEACE. Principles of God bring PROSPERITY. Presence of the King changes your SOUL, principles of the Kingdom bring success. 3. Jesus is the King of kings (Rev.19:16). As priests we minister to God, as kings we reign with God! (Rev.1:6; 5:10) We receive gift of righteousness and abundance of grace to REIGN in life. (Rom.5:17) Lion and the Eagle is the two animals the Creator compares Himself to. Eagle rules the sky, lion rules the judge. Lion is not biggest, smartest, fastest, or strongest but he is the king. Why? Because lion has a different attitude which comes from his belief about himself. When lion sees an elephant, he sees lunch, when elephant sees a lion he sees an eater. Prayer Point: 1. Arrows of failure at the edge of success, arrows of shame and disgrace, arrows of the wicked, go back to the sender in the name of JESUS 2. Arrows of untimely death, arrows of witchcraft, arrows of infirmity go back to the sender in the name of Jesus. 3. Holy Ghost, connect me to miracles, signs and wonders, in the name of Jesus.
