[Applause] all right praise the Lord thank you thank you um hi how y'all how y'all doing yeah do they say y'all in Las Vegas or do they say you guys how you guys doing right um I'm glad to be here thank God for Pastor Benny and his family and the work that God has used him to do Through The Years um I'm going to begin with prayer and I'm going to jump right in I've got a flight that takes off in a little over an hour and so I won't keep you here very long usually I I usually speak for about four or five hours at a time when I'm preaching at church no I'm just kidding I don't do that I'm just kidding um they will wait for me though okay so yeah yeah yeah so anyway so I'm I'm going to share tonight um maybe uh one of the well definitely one of the if not the most important perspectives from a biblical standpoint that you will ever experience in your life it will change everything it not that it might change everything it will change everything if you adopt this perspective it's changed my life it's changed the experience of my life the experience of my family's life it's very different but man is it Bible father thank you for your word thank you for church LV thank you for p Pastor Benny Perez and his family and the work that they are doing here and the work that you are doing through them I just pray for every single solitary person here every family represented that your Bountiful blessings would load them every day and that you would open our eyes and help us to see what's been there all along so that we can access it maybe for the first time in our lives and we bless you for what you will do in us through us for us and by us in the name of Yeshua hamashiach Jesus the Savior amen and amen you can be seated so so I'm going to I'm going to make I'm going to make a statement um I'm GNA I'm going to make a statement that I make fairly often and it takes a while to marinade so I'll say it a couple of times if you are a follower of Christ you do not lack access to abundance now when I say abundance I'm not just talking about money money is just one of the things you don't lack access to you don't lack access to an abundance of money you don't lack access to an abundance of joy you don't have lack access to an abundance of Peace you don't have lack access uh to abundance of gratitude you don't lack access to abundance of opportunity so none of us lack access we just lack awareness of the access we have but the end result is the same and so a lot of people who are saved who who are Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb who've trusted the death burial and resurrection of Christ for their eternal life they've missed the Practical principles of the truth of the word of God for their temporal life and it's so interesting I was I was I literally opened up my iPad CU I didn't have any idea what I was going to speak tonight about I just knew that I was going to share something with God's people from God's word and you don't if the content doesn't get any better than that right God is the ultimate content creator and and I had no idea but I thought I thought well one of the things that Christian people are most confused about is Matthew 6:33 but seek ye first the kingdom of God in his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you so I opened up my iPad and I opened up some of my outlines and I opened up this outline and the name of the outline is Kingdom first and then Pastor Benny says Pastor Benny says to somebody something about hey can you get the kingdom first something something I'm say would you say right and I literally had just opened up not even not even 60 seconds earlier like would you say and he looked at me like what's your problem bro what did I say right like what did you no I just what did you just say he said well I said get the kingdom first of Hera or something like that I was like I said let me show you something this is I literally just opened this and so so so there's no doubt in my mind that someone here if not everyone [Applause] here is about to step into a kingdom experience the likes of which you've never experienced [Applause] before and so I'm going to read I'm going to read Matthew 6: 25-34 and here here's my contention my contention or the argument that I'd like to make or the statement that I'd like to state is that most Christians know what Matthew 6:33 says but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteous and all these things should be added unto you but almost no Christians know what it's saying and I believe one of the biggest problems one of the reasons we are so duded in the body of Christ is because or maybe I should say so delusional is because we think that knowing what the Bible says is the same as knowing what the Bible is saying and they're not the same thing we have to get past just what the words say to find out what the word is saying and so that's what I'd like to share with you today so so I'm going to read from my iPad until the battery dies and I'm going to take out my phone and you're going to think I'm checking text messages but I'm actually going to be looking at my out line okay so Matthew 6:25 here's what it says therefore I say unto you take no thought for your life now let me let me fix that first and foremost that doesn't mean don't think about your life and it doesn't mean don't plan for your life the word take no thought means don't have any anxiety for your life that's what it means so we know over in Philippians chapter 4 it says it says and be careful for nothing that be careful for nothing is literally the exact same word that's used here when it says take no thought for your life don't have anxious care for your life don't have anxious care for tomorrow are y'all tracking okay all right cool so so take no thought for your life what you shall eat or what you shall drink nor for the body what you shall put on is not life more than meat and the body more than rainment behold the fowls of the air for they sow not neither do they reap nor gather into barns yet your heavenly father Feth them are ye not much better than they somebody say yes which of You by taking thought or by worrying about how short you are can add one cubit to his stature which of You by worrying about how short you are can make yourself taller that's what you I mean that's a really good question right what are you doing I'm just so worried I'm just so short right what are you doing I'm just hoping this will make me talk it just doesn't work okay and why take you thought s for rment why are you worrying about clothes consider the lies of the field how they grow they toil not neither do they spin toil hustle spin grind they hustle not neither do they grind and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not AR raay as one of these now Solomon when he was array in his glory if you'll go back to First Kings chap 10 when the Queen of Sheba came and paid Solomon and absolute Fortune to solve all of her governmental problems the scripture says when she saw the work that Solomon had done and the house that he had built and the meat of his table and the sitting of his servants and their apparel and his cup bearers he said there was they the Bible says there was no more spirit in her Solomon's swag took her breath away that's what it says and then it says in Jesus said that the lies of the field outdress Solomon and they ain't even worried about it hey little Lily what you doing I'm just so worried I don't know I'm going to make it they don't do that wherefore if God so clothed the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you oh you of little faith therefore take no thought don't worry saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or wherewith All Shall we be clothed for after all these things do the Gentiles seek these are the things that give the Gentiles anxiety they're worried about what they're going to eat they're worried about where they're going to drink they're worried about what they're going to put on like when you're worried about that you don't understand who you are based on Whose you are and then he says but instead of seeking that stuff he says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness all these things shall be added unto you now what a lot of people will do a lot of people will take this verse and they'll say I don't know why you care about business I don't know why you're always talking about money because the Bible says seek ye first the kingdom of God it is righteousness all these things shall be added unto you yeah but it does say all these things will be added unto you so have these things been added unto you cuz they if they haven't been added unto you maybe you ain't seeking the kingdom cuz Jesus don't lie he don't lie he wasn't [Applause] lying see what you're going to eat what you're going to drink what you're going to wear the car you're going to drive the house you're going to live in the vacation you're going to take that's not the point that's just the bonus that ain't the cake that's the icing that ain't the mashed potatoes that's the gravy and see we have a whole world full of people walking around eating gravy with no gravy with no mashed potatoes icing with no cake they got bonuses with no salaries talking about SE f it ain't it's not a it's not an incantation it's a [Music] principle okay y' y'all are with me I can tell I'd have lost a whole bunch of churches already but not up in here not up in here up in here okay okay all right I'm I'm I'm okay just want to make sure I'm right okay okay but seeky first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added un you take therefore no thought for the tomorrow for the tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself sufficient un the days the evil there don't worry about tomorrow because tomorrow is worrying about itself what's Jesus saying he's saying don't waste Today's Energy worrying about tomorrow's problems I don't know I'm going to pay the red it's almost the first is it the first no but it's almost the first right and if I don't start worrying now I won't be practiced up by the time the first comes I'm not minimizing the fact that we all find ourselves in situations where we have less or we all have at least found ourselves in situations than we have less than we would have desired to have or that feels essential for us but the reality is God gave us a formula here's what he said seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness now now here's the here's the problem with that I mean it's not the problem with that it's the problem with us with regard to that but I'm going to say here's the problem with that so you can understand what I mean here's a problem with that if you don't know what the kingdom of God is and you're seeking it I'm I'm not going to go real fast now if you don't know what the kingdom of God is and you're seeking it if you find it how will you know you found it so a lot of people in churches all over the world are looking for something that they don't even know what it looks like so when they find it they keep on looking or they just reject it cuz it doesn't look like what they thought it was going to look like when they started looking for it can I get a witness am I am I talking too fast so I'm gonna so so I I read all of that because because I realiz I had been saved for let a long time I got saved in 1978 so 1978 888 98 2008 so 30 years after I came to Christ I'm over in London and I'm speaking at a church okay and the building was old I'm pretty sure some of the Apostles spoke in this building it was old and the pastor Bishop Wayne Malcolm I mean it was if they had like plaster and drywall on the walls that wasn't painted they had old oak pews and I mean we you you know we just we just we just went into the word we forgot where we were in the in the Physical Realm but in this can y'all pick up what I'm putting out we had we had Church the pastor comes to me after we're done he says brother myON we used to have a much nicer building but the queen took it now I'm an American and so when he said that I got an attitude and I said what you mean she took it and then he said well you know how you know how British people are right they're so proper bless their hearts now Bishop is going to see this I'm going to be in so much trouble okay so so he said well she needed it for something for so she took it now I'm really irritated and I said something something she needed your building for something she took it and you're cool with that he literally like took a deep breath backed up a few steps and said it doesn't matter she's the queen and then he said you do know why the Queen's picture is on all our money don't you I said no why he said because it's her money and in that moment I realized that I had no Heavenly Earthly or otherwise idea what the kingdom of God was see I grew up in America a country that's supposed to be of the people for the People by the people he grew up in a kingdom and in a kingdom the government is of the king for the King by the king King if you ask a thousand Christians what is the kingdom of God you might get 765 different answers only a couple of them will repeat a lot of them would say heaven well wrong answer but we do have some nice consolation prizes for you in the back so what is the kingdom of God that's a great question because if I don't answer that question it doesn't matter how long I look where I look how far I go to look I will never experience the blessing of Matthew 6:33 until I first lock in on a definition of what the kingdom of God is can I get an amen right there are y'all picking up what I'm putting down okay so may I share with you the best biblical description of the kingdom of God that I've ever discovered yes okay so first and foremost the the word kingdom is a compound word it's what kind of word compound everybody what kind compound okay so the king the word kingdom is a compound word and so it's it's the compound word of the word king and the word dominion so the kingdom is the King's Dominion the word dominion means realm or jurisdiction so the kingdom of God is the realm over which the king Reigns now when you get this this about it's about to be on so when it said when I say the kingdom of God is the realm over which the king Reigns then it helps me if if I understand that as the definition of the kingdom of God when I pray the model prayer which most people erroneously think is The Lord's Prayer because Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name is not the Lord's Prayer that's the model prayer Jesus said after this manner therefore pray you Jesus wasn't praying that prayer he was teaching them how to pray that prayer Jesus didn't have to pray forgive us our trespasses we forgive those who trespass against us because he didn't have any trespasses to forgive for such an high priest became us who is Holy harmless undefiled separate from Sinners who needeth not daily as those High priests to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins then for the sins of the people for this he did once when he offered up himself so Jesus didn't have to pray forgive us our trespasses so it's not the Lord's Prayer are y'all tracking but it's model prayer but I want you to notice the in the model prayer the first thing Jesus did was he gave and then he asked I want you to notice the first thing he asked for you ready after this manner therefore pray ye Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name he's giving God praise for his name Hallowed Be Our Father which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name now I'm going to ask for something thy kingdom come let your kingdom come huh what does that mean well justay pray for Jesus to come back you praying for Jesus to come back is not going to bring him back 16 seconds earlier so it must be talking about something else so when I'm asking God to let his kingdom come what I'm actually asking him to do is I'm asking him to become the king of my life I'm inviting him into the myin realm to be the king so I don't get to be in control with this anymore he's the king he's the king of my mind he's the king of my eyes and the king of my ears the king of my hands the king of my feet he's the king of my body he's the king of everything I do and everything I say and everywhere I go he's the king I'm not the king he's the king who the king he the king are y'all tracking so when I thy kingdom come I'm actually asking God to become The Sovereign ruler of my life if I'm not looking for God to run this thing called my life I'm not seeking the kingdom of God are y'all tracking so the kingdom of God is when I'm seeking the kingdom of God what I'm actually seeking is I'm I'm seeking to yield my life to God as The Sovereign king of my life because when I yield to God as my sovereign King guess what he does it's a amazing he makes me the king of an assignment so when I yield to God as king then he makes me a king maybe that's why Jesus is called the king of king oh okay kings that that's gotten all the way to Las Vegas so I become the king of my thing ladies you become the queen of your scene when you're yielded to God The Sovereign King of the universe he will make you the king of your thing or the queen of your scene and then he rules over you with Sovereign Authority you rule over your assignment with Sovereign Authority and if you will yield to God your assignment has to yield to you I don't know why it's so hard I don't know why I'm struggling I don't know why this is so difficult I'm doing the best I can I know but you're not yielded you're not yielded to the king so your thing won't yield to you you're resisting his kingship Authority in your life and your assignment is resisting you here's why God is the king of everything he's the king God has an assignment for you you're the light of the world and when you yield to God you get to be the king of your thing but here's the problem you say yeah but I don't really like I don't really want God to be in control of my life I just you know my parents were in control my teachers were in control my boss I think I just want to come over here and do my own thing well first of all you don't have a thing to do people who think they're doing their own thing are actually doing the devil's thing or the world's thing or the flesh's thing we we don't have the ability to have Sovereign control we are always yielding to someone or something okay so here's what happens when I move over here and I think I'm doing my own thing all I've done was removed myself from under God's Authority which means now I have no Authority and I live over here in struggle mode and I think it's the problem when the reality is me being unwilling to be here is the problem are y am I talking you f if if we could understand if we could like if we could really understand the Bible is not a religious book did I say that too that was way too fast the Bible is not a religious book God never established a religion Jesus is not a religious figure now when I say religion here's what I mean I'm going to Define it here's what I mean a group of people tell you that if you do these things and it doesn't matter what things they are it doesn't matter what group of people it is if you do these things then you will appease god well I've got news for you there is nothing you can do to appease God there's nothing I can do to appease God God can only appe be appeased by God and if I am unwilling to receive the appeasement that he gave of himself for myself then he will never be appeased in my life so religion says do do do do this do this do this do this do this do this do this salvation says it's done it's done it's done it's done just trust what's done he did it just trust it it's done it's done and when I receive Christ as Savior it's a gift that God gave me not a gift that I give God I'm I'm not giving my life to Jesus to be saved Jesus gave his life for me to be saved there there're the exact opposite I give my life to Jesus because he gave his life for me but not as a not as a as a way of salvation but as a result of Salvation are y'all tracking okay okay so so religion says if you do these things you will please God or you will appease God or you'll be more like God do you realize when religion was created in the Bible does anybody know it was Genesis chapter 3 when the serpent said to the woman after now Genesis chter 3:1 now the serpent was more subtle beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said unto the woman yeth God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden the woman said we may eat of the fruit of the Trees of the garden but of the tree that's in the midst of the garden we shall not eat of it neither shall you touch it lest you die the serpent said ye shall not surely die but watch what he says now next for God doth know that the day you eat thereof then you shall be like God as God's knowing or deciding for yourself what's good and evil that's what religion does religion tells you or the group of people that you're listening to that you do these things and then you will be appeasing God or you will be more like God that's what religion does but the Bible is not a book about religion the Bible is a book if you want to take notes this is these are writer downers right now you ready the Bible's not a book about religion the Bible is a book about a king a what a talking to me everybody what a king a kingdom a what a kingdom so it's a book about a king a kingdom a royal family and the culturalization of a foreign land that foreign land is called Earth that's what the whole Bible is about the entire from Genesis 1 to Revelations 22 revelation 22 not Revelations revelation 22 CU it's not the Book of Revelation it's the Book of Revelation there's only one Revelation it's the revelation of Jesus Christ that the father gave to him about himself but that's another conversation for a different day so the entire Bible is about this one thing a king a kingdom a royal family the culturalization of a foreign land that foreign land's called Earth that was the whole purpose now here's what's really cool cuz I'm only going to get to the first point of my message tonight and I haven't even gotten to the first point yet yet because because there's so much groundwork that needs to be done because we have bought into a lot of religiosity and we've missed Kingdom okay you tracking okay so this passage is showing us that Jesus came to restore God's original design and intent from Genesis chapter 1 now this is so fascinatingly mind-blowingly beautiful that the very first verse in the Bible says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth now I don't know what your mind does when you read that but I have a very very overactive and curious mind and I remember reading this as a teenager and thinking to myself why would he do that he doesn't need anything right he's self-existent self-sufficient self-satisfied needs nothing what do you say to job if I was hungry I wouldn't tell you what you going to do about it God doesn't need but but Heaven is God's Throne did was he tired did he need to sit down no Earth is his foot St wor his feet hurting no so why would God create Heaven and Earth has anybody else ever wondered that or am I alone okay so I I don't know the answer but the only answer I've been able to conclude hopefully I'm close in the neighborhood in the vicinity is because he is creative and therefore it is his nature to create so God creating as an activity was an expression of his identity as a creator that one gave me chills I don't know if you got chills but I got chills and I'll share if you want some but God created everything as an expression of creativity have you ever thought about this Genesis 1 verse one could have been the entire first chapter of Genesis in the beginning God created heaven and the earth that could have been the whole thing then he starts going into details and the Earth was without form and void Darkness upon the face of deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters God said let there be light and there was light God saw the light it was good God called light day darkness he called night in the morning with the first day I'm like what is going on here why is he doing this whole this whole dialogue about what he did when he did it see the first thing God tells about himself is not that he is love even though he's love the first thing God tells about himself is not that he is Judge even though he's judge the first thing that God tells about himself is not that he's omnipotent omnicient Omni present it's not that he's holy it's not that he's righteous even though all those things are true the very first thing that God tells about God is that he is creative when you introduce yourself to somebody it's almost always contextual right do you know what I mean by that so if you're introducing yourself to someone in the business world and you're seeking to do business with them you're going to tell them something about you that's relevant to them for the business you'd like to do with them does that make sense if you're introducing yourself to a man or a woman because you'd like to establish a relationship with them you're going to tell them something about you that might be impactful towards that end God comes and says oh well the first thing you need to know about me is I'm creative okay why do I need to know that well here's why because God created three categories in creation he created creation the Sun the moon the stars the grass the trees the water etc etc etc he created creatures the dogs the cats the alligators the chimpanzees the kangaroos etc etc etc and then heat created creators notice what God what notice if you read Genesis chapter 1 really slow you'll notice God talks different when God created heaven and earth he said let there be light but when he created animals he didn't say let there be light Let There Be animals he said let the Earth bring forth are y'all tracking when he created this the fish and the fou he said let the waters bring forth so when God created creation he said let there be when he said when he created creatures he said let the Earth bring forth and let the waters bring forth but when he created man and when the word man is the word Adam Al doad MIM God called their name Adam so Adam and Eve's name was Adam Adam later called her name Eve they had a little marital spat and he said I ain't calling you by my name no more your name Eve now now it's not how it it's not exactly it's not exactly how it happened but pretty close and God called their name Adam that's what the Bible says God called their name Adam why Adam is Al dalim all right I got to show you this this is why this is why I usually preach for five hours okay because everything reminds me of something and I can't show you the next thing until you know the last thing and so I'm going to show you the next thing the last thing before I show you the next thing okay so so so so so so so the word the word Adam is spelled alive doid meim in Hebrew so alive doid me every Hebrew letter has meaning it has significance like if if I spell the word cat there's nothing in the letter C the letter A the letter T that tells you what a cat is right it doesn't give you the components of a cat just you just know that c a spells cat but if I wrote up here that right there what did I write water everybody said water I didn't write w t e r I wrote H2O but I wrote H2O and you said water why did you say water because you know water's made of H2O one part hydrogen two parts oxygen you know that so just like water is built out of its components every Hebrew word is built not just spelling this is so good the letter Olive is the letter that represents God in scripture it's like it's the first letter in the word Elohim the letter Olive is made of two other letters it's made of two yods and above not you don't need to remember any of this just let your mind be blown by the sovereignty and amazingness of God okay so so an olive is made of two yods and a so what is a yod a yod is a hand so an olive is made of two yods a hand here and a hand here and above what's above above is a nail the letter that represents God is made of two hands and a nail that what I said so this letter represents God doid MIM spells the word blood dome in Hebrew is blood now let me ask you a question the life of the flesh is in the blood so what is a man a man is a Godlike creature with flesh and blood now an animal or a beast as the Bible calls them is not doesn't have an olive it's spelled beah b bait um hey me what does Baha mean Baha it literally means in it is what it is a horse is a horse is a horse of course some of y'all get that you're old enough okay but what what am I saying the only thing a horse can do is what a horse could do the first day a horse was created the only thing a dog a cat a chimpanzee if you buy into the LIE of evolution then you don't understand science or either you understand it and you're just willing you're unwilling to face it see the word Evolution implies that progress happens without intention which goes against the second law of Thermodynamics which is entropy the first law of thermodynamics or the first law of energy energy conservation is everything is energy energ neither created nor destroyed it just changes form the second law is the law of entropy anything left to itself tends to move more and more towards Disorder so to imply that we left everything alone and it just got better that's nobody in this room has ever seen that in anything in the history of the world it's never been observed ever okay anyway I'm I I I'm chasing a a rabbit or two but that rabbit needed to die okay so so Olive doid MIM is man now notice when God created man Adam and Eve he didn't say Let There Be man he didn't say let the Earth bring forth man he didn't say let the waters bring forth man when God created man here's what he said let us make man in our image oh that's different God got ready to create the crown of his creation he started talking to himself let us make man in our image and let them have dominion oh Kingdom King's Dominion let them have dominion over the fish of the Sea and the foul of the air and over every creeping thing that moveth upon the Earth God Made You Who everybody tap yourself and CH say me God Made You for Dominion it's why you were created Lucifer was ejected from Heaven slung down to earth he couldn't destroy heaven so his next best move is to destroy Earth and in order to do that he went after the crown of God's creation which is man and what he did was he used religion to get man to sin if you disobey God you will be more like God evolution is a religion am I talking too Bast environmentalism is a religion political correctness is a religion plus all the other churchianity religions that are they going God didn't he didn't create us to establish religion he created us to expand the kingdom let's make man our image Okay so he makes man and then he starts talking to him and here's what it says in verse 27 2728 it says and God blessed them and said unto them all right y'all did this I was here minding my own business minding my own business Pastor Benny why they messing with me [Music] [Applause] it says and God blessed them and said be fruitful and multiply now he says be fruitful and multiply now I got I'm a little hung up here because because the first verb is announced and the second one is implied because it's be fruitful now would you say be fruitful and be multiply that doesn't make any sense does it be fruitful and have multiply no be fruitful and what do multiply is a do multiply and then do replenish and then do subdue and then you can have dominion this is the ultimate formula of success God gave it to us in Genesis chapter 1 he gave us a wink and said if you don't get to chapter two do this you're GNA be all right B do have everybody say be do have what does that mean it means don't be can't do can't do can't have be a little do a little do a little have a little be a lot do a lot do a lot have a lot you don't have to be the sharpest knife in the JY to this just don't be a wooden [Applause] spoon be do have now that's good but it gets more better cuz he said be fruitful what's a fruit you know the best commentary on the Bible is the Bible he said be fruit what is a fruit a fruit is a living organism whose seed is in itself go read Genesis that's what it says right so when he said be fruitful here's what he's saying you make sure you produce outside of you based on the creativity I planted inside of you you make sure that what I inserted in you shows up outside of you and all around you cuz the fruit seed is in itself what do word we be say hey Pastor Benny here's what he said he said any fool can count the number of seeds in an apple but only God can count the number of apples and a seed hey is is this see here's the problem here's here's the problem with Christians in the Bible we read it too fast we we we to get through the Bible and God wants the Bible to get through to us stop treating the Bible like an interstate start treating it like a school zone slow down so some learning can take place he said be fruitful produce on outside God planted planted an aspect of the seed of his cre ativity inside of each of us and then just like he planted the Garden in Eden and then he put the gardener there to Garden the garden God didn't just plant the garden in Eden God planted a garden in The Gardener of the Garden of Eden be fruitful produced on the outside based on what I put on the inside see here's the problem we go around looking at the creativity God put in other people we say well if he gave me what he gave him I'd be all right God said if I gave you what I gave them one of y'all would not be necessary I gave them something different so they could support you and you something different so you can support them I made all of y'all good at something I didn't make any of y'all good at everything [Applause] ain't it funny how the Bible reads you when you read it he said be fruitful multiply do multip what does multiply mean multiply means to increase yes by the way biblical increase is never incremental God doesn't grow anything by addition he only Grows by multiplication biblical increase is not incremental it's exponential exponential it's geometric progression some 3old some 60-fold some 100-fold and by the way 30-fold 60-fold 100 fold does not mean 30% 60% 100% it means 30 times 60 times 100 times that's how that's God math I like God math better than I like good math be fruitful do multiply and then it says replenish what's replenish me fill up the Earth why why fill up the Earth why why are we filling up the Earth cuz you're creating so much stuff you got to have someplace to put it you fill up the Earth you know it's it's amazing how we become so disconnected from truth that we bought into the lie that it's better to kill the people and save the planet now I believe that we shouldn't pollute I I believe we'd be better off if we polluted a lot less the scripture said Thou shalt not pollute the land in which you dwell right so we're supposed to be like take care of our environment we ain't supposed to worship It Anyway be fruitful multiply replenish fill up the Earth we go out [Music] into the forest and we see a beaver dam in a creek and we see an eagle's nest in a tree we think this is so beautiful it's so natural it's so organic then we fly over Las Vegas or Chicago or Los Angeles or Tampa or Atlanta or New York we say oh it's so inorganic these humans are just ruining everything so let me ask you a question I'm I'm a little confused how is it that when an ant or a beaver or an eagle uses their limited capacity and limited resources to make something that makes their life better we call that organic but when human beings use our unlimited resourcefulness to create something to make our lives better we call it inorganic that's a satanic [Applause] lie be fruitful replen be fruitful multiply replenish the Earth subdue it huh that's an interesting one subdue subdue subdue means to stomp it means to trample it means to step on okay wait a minute I thought we were creating stuff why we starting to step on why are we starting to mess stuff up when I was a young man I was actually a teenager probably 12 13 14 15 years old I love to put together model cars I take them in the basement put firecrackers inside and blow them up probably shouldn't have told you that why did you do that I don't know I just wanted to see what happened okay so you didn't do that Don't Judge Me Maybe that's I clearly that's not what it means when the Bible says confess your faults one to another so cuz there was a lot of judgment happening right there okay um so why is God telling us to trample it down to trample after he's telling us to create here's why because disruption always follows intention when you decide to do something good the first thing that shows up is something hard doesn't matter what the good thing is when you decide to do something good the first thing that shows up is something hard by the way this is a this is a this is a this is one of those biblical patterns biblical what patterns for instance Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth that's God's intention right what happened next and the Earth was without form and void and darkness upon the face of the deep the word was is not the word used to be the word was is became and the Earth became without form and void Darkness upon the face of deep why just ruption all his father's intention y'all remember a guy in the Bible named Joseph remember him what happened God gave him a dream right what'd he do he told his brothers his dream his brothers hated him for his dream they threw him in a pit sabians came and took him out of the pit they sold him um to um the their name is escaping me right now it's on the tip of my tongue but anyway he sold them to some foreigners they dug him the foreigners dug him out of the pit they sold him to Egypt into slavery now he's a slave in Piper's house it wasn't the minites anyway they sold him into slavery into Piper's house Piper's wife lies on him he ends up going to prison for a crime he didn't commit but God wait a minute see if if we were Joseph we say but God I thought you said you gave me a dream I'm supposed to be a prince I ain't supposed to be a prisoner but see Joseph didn't do that Joseph grew where he was planted because he realized that sometimes your dream will drag you through some drama on the way to your [Applause] destiny and then the Butler and the baker well not the baker cuz the baker got hung but the butler forgot about him you say may what's your point my point is disruption always follows intention that's it like David Gets Anointed with oil then Saul spends years with a contract on his life trying to kill him why because disruption always follows in Jesus gets baptized by John the can you imagine like I've seen people get baptized in in the Jordan River is pretty cool right can you imagine getting baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan Jesus gets baptized by John the Baptist Jesus comes up the Heavens open the spirit descends on him like a dove The Voice from Heaven said this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased you think something Great's about to happen yeah something Great's about to happen and immediately he was led of the spirit Into the Wilderness to be tempted of the devil why disruption always follows intention why is God showing us in the very first chapter in the Bible that disruption always follows intention so that when he calls us to do something and We are following in obedience and difficulty shows up we won't think we're going in the wrong direction and so God says subd do it trample this disruption that follows your intention now if God's saying trample the disruption that follows your intention he saying that he's telling us that it's both beneath us and smaller than us if it was over my head I wouldn't be able to stomp it it's beneath me if it's bigger than me it's all ginor I can't stomp it it's smaller than me and it's beneath me which means I have authority over the obstacle the obstacle does not have authority over me are y'all tracking okay in the words of my good friend Bishop Wayne mom my sermons are always very short it's my introductions that take all the time so that was the introduction now y'all have the foundation no no I'm I'm serious that was that was the groundwork so you can understand what I'm about to say so when the scripture says seek ye first the kingdom of God so oh by the way be fruitful I forgot about that be fruitful replenish the be fruitful multiply replenish the Earth do subdue it and then have dominion so the purpose of being fruitful and the purpose of multiplying and the purpose of replenishing and the purpose of subd subduing is so that you can have dominion everybody with me yes okay cool so when Jesus that Dominion is Kingdom God put man men and women on the earth to expand Kingdom culture to Earth everybody got Kingdom culture to Earth okay so if we're not expanding Kingdom culture to Earth we're missing our assignment y'all tracking okay so when it says seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you that means first seek awareness of a kingdom perspective seek awareness of a kingdom perspective so I'm going to make a statement I'm G to have to wind it down because that my flight leaves in about 17 minutes what I'm going to wind it down I'm going to give I told you I was going to give you all the first point and then Pastor Benny he can invite me back and I can finish the sermon right okay yeah so but but but but but let me at least give you the first point of the message it'd be a shame for me to come all the way to Las Vegas and only give you an introduction that'd be pretty terrible right okay right okay so a kingdom P awareness of seek an awareness of a kingdom to perspective now I'm going to make an assertion all transformation change how many of you would like your life to change for the better Okay cool so that's pretty much everybody in here okay cool well all transformation or change for the better begins with awareness all transformation begins with awareness so the first thing you're going to see if you seek the kingdom of God is you're going to have to seek a kingdom awareness are you tracking yes okay a awareness of a kingdom perspective you seek awareness of a kingdom perspective okay so seek awareness of a kingdom perspective of the platform oops the platform form seek awareness of the kingom perspective of the parameters and seek perspective a k an awareness of the Kingdom perspective of the process God's kingdom process so so I don't I keep wanting to do this like I do on my vibe board but then it won't move right so I literally I'm I've been I've almost done that several times Okay so so so what is the platform so God established the platform in Genesis chap 1 vers one in the beginning God created heaven and earth there's so much in that verse like in the beginning God created heaven and the Earth in English there's 10 10 words in Hebrew there's seven words it's such a magnificent mind-blowingly beautiful verse so the platform is the platform is time in the beginning see there's time God created the heavens that's space and the Earth that's matter okay that's the platform are y'all with me time space and matter that's the platform that though that platform governs our experience of Life on this planet and like everything we do has a beginning and an end you have to have a place to do it and there's stuff that's involved right okay cool well the parameters I already gave them to you but I'm going to give them to you again are B do have now what's really cool is each one one of these parameters matches a different part of the platform so the purpose of time is being the reason God put time into motion is so that we could become all he desires us to become that requires time my granddaughter she's five I don't throw her the keys and say hey Ari take my car and drive over to Publix and here here's a credit card go bring back some bread and peanut butter and jelly and we can eat some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is it because she'll never be able to drive is that why I don't do that no is it because she's not smart no it's because she hasn't had enough time to develop into a person who can do those things so the purpose of time is becoming say man I'm I just don't know how to do give yourself some time see the scripture says everything is beautiful in his time we think everything's beautiful in our time our time is nothing it's why I don't set goals at you say don't set goals what do you mean don't set goals I don't set goals because goals are I would like to have this thing happened by this time I don't get to control outcomes I only get to control inputs and the scientific principle for improvement is inputs create outputs so if I don't like the output I just have to change the input but I don't get to determine how long it takes so if you are in a hurry for the outcome sometimes you will skip steps on the input which makes the outcome take even longer that's why I don't set goals anyway another conversation for a different day because it was a rabbit okay so the purpose of time is being the purpose of space is doing if I if I'm all wrapped up in cellophane and all taped up with duct tape I can't do anything why because I don't have any space around me in order to do something space is required are y'all tracking okay so the purpose of time is being the purpose of space is doing the purpose of matter is having God created time for the purpose of becoming more he created space as a platform for doing more he created matter as for us to have more and then he did this thing he put inside of us a desire to have more than we've had and what we do when we have this desire to have more than we have we set out for all these things like your desire to live in a nice house and drive a nice car and wear nice clothes and have like money in your bank account all those are god-given desires God gave you the desire why so that you would yield to become the person who would so you so you would yield to doing the thing that made gave you the right to have it but God designed it in such a way that when you attempt to do something that you've not yet prepared yourself for what happens is you attempt to do the things so you can have the stuff but you bump your head on your inability and you stump your toe on your in insufficiency because you've not yet become the person who can do the thing so God said if you will focus on the being the doing will take care of itself and when the doing takes care of itself the doing will take care of the having this all in the first chapter okay be fruitful multiply replenish the Earth subd do it have dominion okay what's the process I have to do this really quick I don't really have time to do it so what's what what's the process the process is Imagination communication slash unification and then last is implementation I have to end on this this is it like I'm after I've make this statement I'm done I'm done being speaks to our identity you have to know who you are based on Whose you are doing speaks to our activity all of the activity that we do is based on who we see ourselves as being so being speaks to our identity doing speaks to our AC ity having speaks to our property we have a desire we have our greatest desire is for the property God's greatest desire is for the identity but you cannot become all that you are supposed to be the person you are supposed to be until you realize and recognize the ultimate identity which is the I am that I am when Moses asked God who he like who should I tell pharaoh sent me tell him I am that I am sent me I am that I am what I am is that the god that put the Moon and the Sun and the heavens and decked the heavens with the Stars and smoothed out a chaotic Earth and scooped out a place with his hand and put the water in it tied it down with a rope of sand and called it oceans he put a garment of green over the valleys and the mountains and the hills and he buttoned it up with lies and garlands and wo it with laughing daffodils I am that I am and when you tell him I'm that I am and you tell him I said let my people go he'll refuse but not for long seek you first the kingdom of God and his righteousness all these things will be added unto you Pastor Benny [Applause]
