IN WHO'S HANDS ARE YOU?
A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth $33 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Shohei Ohtani hands is worth $700 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Rafael Nadal’s hands is a Championship.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it's in.
2 fish and 5 loaves in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. 2 fish and 5 loaves in Jesus hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus hands will produce redemption for the entire world.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Put your everyday life, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your plans, your finances, your families and your relationships in God's hands BECAUSE……….
IT DEPENDS WHOSE HANDS IT’S IN.

A SEED IS A TINY BEGINNING WITH A HUGE FUTURE.
“While the earth remains, SEEDTIME AND HARVEST, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22
This is a Kingdom Spiritual Law. Many of God’s people do not obey without trying to negotiate with God when He is dealing with them about sowing. Your seed is MORE than money:
Your LOVE is a seed.
Your TIME is a seed.
Your FAITHFULNESS is a seed.
Your PRAYER is a seed.
Your KINDNESS is a seed.
Your PATIENCE is a seed.
Your GRATITUDE is a seed.
Your ENCOURAGEMENT is a seed.
Your SERVANTHOOD is a seed.
Your HONOR is a seed.
Your HOSPITALITY is a seed.
Your HUMBLENESS is a seed.
Your COMPASSION is a seed.
You must sow to reap. This is non-negotiable. Stop looking for reasons to avoid sowing into others. When God talks to you about sowing, it’s because He has a harvest for you.
You focus on the seed to SOW, God focuses on the HARVEST.
“God will never be mocked! For what you SOW will always be the very thing you harvest. The harvest you reap reveals the seed that you sowed” Gal 6:7

JESUS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. WHY SHOULD YOU BE ONE?
God is not the founder of judaism or christianity. Both are man-made systems. The Eternal Purpose of God since before the foundation of the world has been His KINGDOM. (Mt 25:34). Jesus was not a Christian, neither the founder of christianity. He never taught and represent christianity. All the teachings of Jesus were about the KINGDOM and God’s Eternal Purpose.
The Bible does NOT ask anyone to become a christian. God has always called people OUT of man-made religions.
The Bible calls the followers of Christ believers, disciples, saints, ambassadors, those of the way, children of God, citizens, brothers, fellow citizens with God’s people or members of God’s household.
The word “christian” only appears three times in the entire New Testament, and never once in a positive way,
In Acts 11:26 the disciples were FIRST called Christians in Antioch. They did not call themselves that, they were called that by those outside. A “christian” was a negative label, a swear word. Only with time did it become an accepted term.
The two other appearances of the word christian (Acts 26:28.29; 1. Pet 4:13-17) it is used as a derisive term and even as a reason for persecution: If someone suffers because he is accused to be a christian, we should understand this as a judgment, as suffering for Christ, not as an honorary title.
What is the Biblical and most accurate name for the followers of Jesus Christ? Jesus said: "you must be born again to see... and to enter the Kingdom". (John 3:3-5) By this new birth in the Spirit we become CITIZENS of God's KINGDOM-SPIRITUAL NATION.
As we are entering the days where the Gospel of the KINGDOM is being proclaimed to all nations (Mt 24:14), the best identifier is: CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM!

THE CHARACTER OF A SOLDIER OF CHRIST 2 Timothy 2:

SECURE ( 11-13)
SERVANT ( 24-26)

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT A CORPORATION
In some ways the “religious church” has become a professional corporation. The Kingdom of God and His EKKLESIA were never meant to be a corporation or professional entity. A citizen of the Kingdom is a disciple and follower of Christ, meaning that as He is, so are we in this world. The problem then with professionalizing the gospel or turning “church” into a company is that policies, rules and standards need to be upheld to maintain a good BRAND.
However, my bible tells me that those who are born of the Spirit are unpredictable, you don’t know which way they will turn. You can’t systemize “true” Kingdom Spirit living.
If He is our example then we should just examine one day in the life of Christ. You will notice devils manifesting, diseases healed, the uncompromised Word of God being preached to challenge people and bring them into the deeper things of the Kingdom, all of which offended those in a corporation and professional type religion (the Pharisees).
Corporation and professional “Christianity” does not facilitate or accommodate the move of the Spirit of God, nor is it the wineskin that will give birth to the true sons of God the earth and creation are groaning for. The modern day corporate “religious church” is just another face of religion that fulfills the agendas and purposes of man while sacrificing the Eternal Purpose of God.
When the Eternal Purpose of God is manifest, anything can and will happen. Therefore, the wineskin of a corporate professional gospel gives no room for the “true” Eternal Purpose of God to manifest.
I don’t think a life in the day of Jesus looked polished. In fact devils manifesting, people wanting to throw you off a cliff, laying hands on leper’s, spitting on dirt and rubbing the mud on someone’s eyes, telling people they had to eat his flesh and drink his blood to enter the Kingdom, doesn’t look very corporate or professional to me.
Paul’s epistles explain the governing order in the EKKLESIA through leadership. However, religion systemizes things AWAY from the Word of God and His order.
But cultures and systems that hijack God’s Eternal Purpose and prevent the Spirit from moving, keep God’s people immature and hinder them from rising into true CITIZENSHIP in God’s Kingdom.
If “church” looked like how the Word of God explained it, there would be the fruit of maturity and purity which would develop patriots who lay down their lives for Him and each other. The Lord did not pay a price for His people to feed upon the plastic, hyped, watered down self-serving gospel that religion preaches and promotes for its own selfish needs.

WHAT IS REVIVAL?
Many often ask me "what does revival look like?"
A revival is NOT the increasing numbers of signs and wonders. Moses, Elijah and Elisha all had great signs accompanying their lives, but signs DO NOT equate to revival. Israel was often awed by manifestations, yet supernatural wonders never brought the nation to REPENTANCE (a change in their mind).
What about powerful and exciting “church” services?
Meetings every night, even if they last until midnight, are themselves NOT a REVIVAL.
REVIVAL is not just a large event full of happy, emotional and animated people.
REVIVAL happens on an individual, person-by-person level.
TRUE AWAKENING is being empowered when you submit to the LORDSHIP of CHRIST and His Kingdom.
When you actually receive power to submit, obey and live by the Spirit bearing the FRUIT of the Spirit.
Deep in your spirit an AWAKENING occurs and you see Christ not only as Savior, but as the King and Lord of your life.
This is what happened at Pentecost. Fearful, prideful disciples were transformed into humble, powerful Citizens of the Kingdom. They spoke the Word of God with boldness. They had authority to BIND and LOOSEN; and they were willing to suffer for Christ, just as He willingly suffered for them.
True AWAKENING is a hot lava-flow of courage and authority being poured into the backbone of a once defeated person.
It is men and woman becoming VICTORIOUS in Christ and manifesting the ORDER of the KINGDOM where ever they are.

Introducing God’s reality and Eternal Purpose into man’s cursed reality was just the beginning. It was necessary to free man from the cursed reality to experience and express God’s reality. Where ever the New man goes he expresses God’s reality and Eternal Purpose. He is now a CITIZEN of God’s Kingdom and Spiritual Nation.

WHAT IS AN EFFECTIVE "LEADER" IN THE KINGDOM?
A Leader is NOT the title you hold. Rather it’s demonstrating an unrelenting focus on helping others ACHIEVE their Kingdom purpose.
People believe leadership is something that’s conferred along with a title or attained when you direct a team of people, but true leadership is never about authority or power. It’s about helping others fulfill the purpose for which they were created.
If you can inspire people and help them to achieve their Eternal Purpose and to do something they thought they couldn’t do. You have Kingdom leadership gifting. Discipling persons to believe in themselves and in God's Eternal Purpose is TRUE KINGDOM LEADERSHIP.

EKKLESIA: A Biblical Truth.
EKKLESIA has no stage, it has a THRONE;
on the stage there's a show, on the THRONE there's a KING and LORD.
EKKLESIA has no entertainment, it has worship; in entertainment there is exhibition, in worship there is surrender in SPIRIT and in TRUTH to the KING and LORD
EKKLESIA has no stars, it has servants: the stars appear, the servants obey and serve.
EKKLESIA doesn't have fans, it has disciples; fans applaud, flatter and adulate, disciples learn and serve.
EKKLESIA has no artists it has ministers, artists perform, ministers serve.
EKKLESIA has no audience it has Kingdom citizens; we are the EKKLESIA and we the EKKLESIA does not attend a religious worship, we have fellowship and offer worship to God by serving and encouraging one another; the audience attends and reacts.
EKKLESIA has no members, it has Kingdom CITIZENS.
EKKLESIA is the spiritual nation of God
May Christ The King of kings and The Lord of lords be above all and in all.

THE MEANING OF THE “KINGDOM OF GOD
When the word “Kingdom” refers to God’s Kingdom, it always refers to His Reign, his Rule and His Sovereignty.
“The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His Kingdom rules over ALL.” (Psalm 103:19). HE IS ALL IN ALL.
GOD’S KINGDOM IS HIS UNIVERSAL RULE, HIS SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALL THE EARTH.
“They shall speak of the glory of Your Kingdom and tell of Your power” (Psalm 145:11).
GOD’S KINGDOM IS HIS POWER.
“Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.” (Psalm 145:13).
SCRIPTURE IS NOT REFERRING TO THE REALM OR THE GEOGRAPHY OVER WHICH HE REIGNS. IT IS GOD’S “RULE” THAT WILL LAST FOREVER!
“You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the power, and the might, and the glory” (Daniel 2:37). ("Notice the synonyms for Kingdom: the POWER, the MIGHT, and the GLORY.”)
All expressions of authority which God has given to the King.
GOD GIVES THE NEEDED AUTHORITY, THE RIGHT TO RULE.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS HIS KINGSHIP, HIS RULE, HIS AUTHORITY. When we realize this we can see this meaning in passage after passage in the New Testament. We can see that the KINGDOM OF GOD is not a realm or a people, but it is GOD’S REIGN. Jesus said, that we must “RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD” as little children (Mark 10:15). So….what is received? GOD’S RULE!
In order to enter the future REALM of the KINGDOM, people must submit themselves to GOD’S RULE HERE and NOW.
Therefore, we pray, as directed by Jesus, “YOUR KINGDOM COME; YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.”
In this, "THE LORD’S PRAYER,” we ask for God to REIGN. We ask Him to display His Kingly RULE and POWER. We ask Him to put to flight every enemy of righteousness. We seek His divine Rule—that GOD ALONE MAY BE KING OVER ALL THE WORLD.
WE PRONOUNCE OUR SUBMISSION TO HIS LORDSHIP/KINGSHIP OVER ALL HIS CREATION. “TO GOD BE THE GLORY for EVER AND EVER." AMEN.
