We live now in the reign of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately few are willing to receive it. He has been given a name that is above every name in this world and in the world to come.
God has given us an opportunity to see things that are not of this world. Come into this place of letting Jesus be your master and king of kings and you will have the experience of knowing that you are not alone; all of heaven is with you. We are seated now in heavenly places; Eph 2:6.
Right now Jesus is ruling and reigning and we have an authority and anointing to represent him as the sons of God; too many though are set upon covetousness and idolatry.
Covetousness is idolatry. Ask the Lord to show you where you are resisting him or turning away from what he has called us to do.
Luke 12:13 ¶ And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
You will never make a covetous man satisfied with judgment. jesus told us to take no thought for these things. He than speaks a parable on what happens when you set your heart on selfish interests.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Instead of looking to the needs of the kingdom or the poor and the widows and the orphans, he looks to horde riches to himself. Wealth shall demand you to be its slave; there will be no time for God or trust in Father because you will be a slave to your bills and your need to be dependable according to this earth.
Seek first the kingdom of God; sell all you have and give it to the poor and you will have treasures in heaven. The Lord has a heart toward the poor; look up everywhere the Bible mentions the poor and look at what God has demanded. The widow with two mites saw the temple of God as more important than her own sustenance. jesus said; look at what this woman did.
Giving is a sweet smell in the nostrils of God; see Cornelious.
The Lord wants us to responsible to the kingdom not to the riches of this life. Covetousness brings the wealth which is only accompanied by sorrow; yet the Lord will make you rich so you might be a blessing and he adds no sorrow with it. Stop laying up for yourself treasures in this earth.
Because Solomon asked for something which was set upon representing the kingdom on this earth he was made full of great riches like never before.
Examine yourself in the light of this parable; what are you going to do with the blessing of God? You have an opportunity to sow into the kingdom of god; to give to the poor and to evangelize your community.
One evidence of covetousness is a sorrowful; a sinful and an angry heart. No generosity but always reaching and grabbing stuff for yourself.
If you want to be his disciple you must deny yourself. Honesty and truth in the inward parts is loved by God.
Prov 3:13 ¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Wisdom is more precious than anything; more than all the riches of this world.
First and foremost I want to step into eternity with fine white robes and a crown of righteousness and in that place of knowing and understanding God.
When you read “Vanity” in the scripture; it is the same as giving yourself to idols; man turning to his own ways. The riches, the reputation of men and the legacy of this life.
What about riches in heaven; the riches of the inheritance of Christ Jesus. You cannot serve God and Mammon. The Lord said; give me your life and I will give you my life. Give me yours and mine is already poured out for you ready to be given to you.
The focus of faith on one thing can bring greater breakthroughs in the heavenlies. First off the extension of the kingdom.
Luke 6 context; lend and have no hope of return; give and it shall be given to you; Paul’s concern in his collections were for the poor in Jerusalem and for those in full time ministry.
Psalm 119 and 2 Cor 9 Paul equates giving to the poor with righteousness. The first thing they need is the liberation of the kingdom of God.
Let us turn to a complete reliance on God; put your trust in him and receive the provision of the Lord.
Let your eye of affection be turned wholly toward the Lord and be filled with his light. You must function and flow in a greater realm of the anointing.
What does it mean to be rich toward God? To have an anointing in your life operating in you. The riches of his Joy and Love and Peace. Those things which are eternal. Your life is much more than food and raiment. Sell what you have and give to the poor and come follow me.
Isaac could sow in famine and reap a hundredfold because he had a relationship with God.

When He came he brought everlasting righteousness.
Da 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Today is the day of the Lord; the future never comes, but Now is here. Jesus is the same and is doing the same things he did 2000 years ago. The Holy One walked into heaven with his own blood and was given an authority; It is done, finished; it is over. Christ jesus is sovreign almighty God. He has been anointed and he is looking for those who will obey and live with him forever and forever.
Father is looking for someone who will be overwhelmed with him and he will give them authority to be sons of God in the earth. I am being built up by the vision of God in his word. paul commended us to the word of his grace.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Paul amplifies this in saying that we are seated together with him in the heavenlies. Do you understand the day of your visitation. Set your affection on things above, not on things of this earth; for your life is hid in Christ with God.
What the Holy Ghost is doing is revealing Jesus; will you determine in your heart that you are a miracle worker because the Lord has anointed you.
Serving Jesus is following him who did no sin and neither was evil speaking found in his mouth.
If any man serve me he will follow me; do you have a vision for yourself; for the same one who was there is here right now. The same glory that was there then is here now. When you touch this glory you will not have to find time to pray. Who will identify with this so great a salvation. God is moving by his spirit; move oh Lord in me.
I am complete in him for I find all my purpose and the meaning of my life in him; how much more shall he cloth you Oh ye of little faith. Tonight we need a vision of our lives that is about seeking the kingdom of God.
he has brought in everlasting righteousness and has been anointed by the Father and we are his servants and yet more his heirs and joint heirs of his righteousness and his power and his authority.
Follow Jesus; he showed us where and how to walk. First tarry until you get baptized with the same baptism that I was baptized with. Endued with the power and the authority that he himself possessed; the promise of the Father poured out on whosoever would believe.

Following Jesus. Everywhere he went he did that which pleases the Father, He walked in holiness and righteousness and spoke no guile. He said that the Holy Ghost was upon him to preach the gospel and the religious wanted to kill him.
Are you following Jesus?
many name the name of Jesus, but they do not depart from iniquity. Strife and the pride of life is just as bad as adultery and murder. the church is a stronghold for the pride of life and the arrogance of men. They do not honor the Holy Ghost or his apostles and prophets.
Just as Jesus honored the ministry of John, submitting himself to be baptized by John.
Those that do not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh are not of God.
If Jesus Christ does not exist in you than you are apostate; so said Paul.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Jesus was manifested to be the son of God by the spirit of holiness and the power of God.
Ro 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
It is the Holy Spirit given to us to give us the power of obedience.

Matt 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Every tree is known by its fruits
Heb 6:8* But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Everyone who says they are in Christ; Father will inspect for fruit. he demands a relationship whereby the nature of God is produced in our lives.
A lot of people say they have relationship with god but they bring forth thorns. It is such a twisting of the scripture that they say that sin and iniquity remain in the church of God.
The Lord has called us out of darkness and into his marvelous light.
Relationship is oneness with the almighty God. He demands the fruit of the character and ways of Jesus Christ.
You have the fruit of God or your a thorn bush. The state of the church is much like Israel when it was declared of them that there was none righteous; no not one.

God demands a change.
Religion does not demand a change; it has a ritual of requirements.
Father found fault with the old covenant because there was not a change.
He made a new covenant; he made a new man wherein he wrote his laws on their hearts to be their God and that they would be his dwellings.
Peace like a river and righteousness like the mighty waves of the sea. But religion says that we are all unrighteous and no one knows God.
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days; saith God. How much greater credibility can you get than that.
Jesus was the word made flesh and is now speaking from heaven.
How many people bow the knee before the God of heaven; just to say Lord I bow to honor and recognize that you are the creator of the universe.
I will have joy because God demands it. I will cause you to walk in my statutes and my judgments; saith God. He said I will walk in you and dwell in you; you will be my people and I will be your God. Someone has to let the life of Jesus rise up and live by the faith of the son of God.
