This sermon summary, titled "Concepts on the Kingdom," focuses on the nature of the Kingdom of God, the importance of God's idea (Word), and the necessity of the Church and Faith for transformation.
1. The Nature of the Kingdom
Finished Reality: Everything God has planned for you is already finished; it is not "going to be." There is no construction taking place in heaven.
Realm of Rule: The Kingdom is the territory and realm where the King (God) rules and where His power, character, and dominion are felt.
Above the Physical: The Kingdom is not about space, time, or matter. Therefore, the physical things you see do not dictate who you are. Nothing is real on earth; the only reality is the Kingdom.
Infinite Possibility: God is infinite possibilities and is "more than you are seeing." The miracle of the five loaves and two fish demonstrates the concept of infinity from which the Kingdom operates.
2. The Supremacy of God's Idea
The Idea Problem: The real challenge is that people don't want God's idea; they only want the "stuff" (blessings). You cannot have the stuff until you have God's idea. You don't have a money or health problem; you have an idea problem.
The Word Straightens: Anytime you see "the word of the Lord" in Scripture, it indicates God's idea. When the Word comes to you, it straightens out your thinking and creates the "straight way" God desires for His movement (Isaiah 40:1-6, 8).
Transformation: Transformation is only transformation as long as your mind is willing to align with God's ideas. The warfare is over when your ideas align with God's.
3. Kingdom Technology and Practice
Faith is the Technology: Faith is the kingdom technology that allows you to freely receive what is already given to you. The manifestation of God's Glory—which is the manifestation of His Kingdom and often associated with wealth (Genesis 31:1)—can only be received by this technology.
The Role of the Church: The Church is vital because it is where you are helped to find out why you arrived (your purpose). It helps you rid yourself of "Claentitis"—the condition where an ambassador (you) is changed by the place instead of changing the place.
Prayer's Purpose: The purpose of prayer is not to convince God to hear you, but that you receive the Idea (God's plan).
Functioning in the Kingdom: To receive God's manifestation, you must flatten the high places and smoothen the rough places (obstacles/wrong ideas) in your life. When you function from the spiritual realm of the Kingdom, warring is no longer continuous as it is in the physical realm.
The essence of the message is that receiving God's unchanging, finished ideas is the key to experiencing the reality and power of the Kingdom now.
