CWC Message with Pastor Kevin Kerr

The Kingdom of God or Heaven is receiving and apprehending the kingdom

The Kingdom of God is 4 things

Righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit and Power

Most Christians have more faith in waiting till Jesus comes back than they do about preaching or apprehending the gospel

Satan steals more from us because we do not apprehend 

We have to apprehend the abundant life if we want to have the life Jesus wants us to have

Enjoy

The Great Commision

Gen1:28 The original commision to Adam

Assignment is individual

Commision is corporate

A good place to start is to see where you have the most opposition and then run towards it

Avoid the battles we have no grace (empowerment) for

There are those who have greater faith in the return of Jesus than they do in the power of the gospel

Church is more rapture focused, than they are in the power of the gospel to change their lives

He has given us power to go into the world to take dominion over the world

To receive means to seize

John1:12 we have been given a superpower

Thru intercession, your assignment might be tied to where you have the most opposition

Be who what and where the father tells us to be and do

Assignment

Mark28 Assignment is to make disciples of all nations

Teach all the nations about my kingdom

Mark 16 Preach the gospels

Lay hands on the sick and they will recover

to preach the gospels and lay hands on the sick is the Mandate

John 20 As the Father sent me so I send you

You shall receive power to be my witnesses and ….

Matt 10: 7-8 jesus said

7As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, a drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Know this: Success in the Lord is your obedience to your call

1Cor7:17

Eph 3:20 the two promises are ours if we have the power of the spirit working within us

What we tolerate will ultimately dominate your life

4 inferior things that war against our faith:

A. Self Pride

B. Reluctance to move forward

C. Temptation is to justify ourselves by our own works

D. Consistent temptation to withhold or drawback exercising faith

Faith is a “fruit” and also a “gift”

Gal 5:22 Faith is a fruit 🍉🍌 🍎 

1Cor12:9 Faith is also a gift (what we often forget)

1Sam30

Samuel saw David come from afar off and said he’s the one 

God had Samuel anoints David (not any of his brothers)

God always gave David allies to overcome Saul

King of Gath gave David Ziglac 

Joushua was given

David was given South of Judea 30:6-8

Ziklag 

David and 600 men were granted Ziklag

David strengthened himself in the Lord, we still are trying to understand what happened with David here

David had the priest bring the ephod

David got ahold of himself before he inquired the Lord

Being yoked together with Jesus

-We need to get our thinking out of man and his religious systems, and into God and his assignment for us

Pr:14:4 where no ox are the trough is clean…(there’s no mess)

much increase comes with the strength of the ox

Where there are no ministers of the Gospel there is no food for the soul

The ox becomes a symbol for hard work and labor

The hard parts of the word…and our work that’s supposed to be easy yoke and His burdens light.

Question we ought to ask ourselves is, So what am I attached to that’s affecting my lifes direction? That affects my oil?

To understand is by use of learning

We’re still working on it..more practice

Either we’re straining against the yoke of Jesus Or we’re pulling his way

Our focus should not be on Satan and what he’s doing b/c we ought to know by now it's going to be bad

Our focus should be on Jesus and what his purpose He wants you to accomplish and fulfill

God did not pour out his wrath on the earth until the only righteous man (Noah) fulfilled his assignment and was complete. Then God showed up

The question maybe we ought to be asking is how are our oil reserves?

What are we doing to keep the joy in our lives

Jesus says we’re supposed to have oil. This is expected

Where do we/you get your reserves from?

Christianity has very little to say to the world if they don’t change

Christianity is about change

Speak the word and my servant will be healed

Jesus marveled at his faith

Great faith

Acts 10:38

God was with him

We are all called to invade the realm of the impossibility

God has designed it that way to reveal to us His will and to demonstrate it that way

We cannot operate without him

Treasures in heaven

Means God has already allocated wealth beyond your imagination to get the things done beyond shape and form

With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible

Rich Young Ruler

What must I do to be saved?

When we come to the place with absolute surrender, is where God will really move in your life

Self confidence is second to faith

Is 61: the spirit of the Lord is upon me to proclaim the gospel to poor and to set the captive free

Readjusting Our Perspective

James5:16

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth  much

-To exercise force

-To prevail

Deborah was both a prophetess and a judge

Confronting the impossible to make it possible

El Shaddai

If I’m overwhelmed by the problem I’ve lost sight of the presence of God

You have to get to a mountain make the effort 

Many things are only understood through a relationship

In Deborah’s time

The men were wimps

Tackling the impossible

In bible times if you wanted information you paid the price to get it 

The attitude of Joshua and Caleb was "Our giants become our bread"

We are only going to find our design through His promises

Gen1:28

Be fruitful and multiply

Don’t fret yourself about ones's outward appearance

The inward is what we’re after

He equips and trains us for war, then yeah He introduces conflict

You have to be in the high places to get there…not the slums

Ps84

I would rather spend a day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere

Better to be a door keeper in the house of the Lord than a prince in satan's kingdom

We ask God for our needs but when are we going to get to the (our) assignment?

Is it out of our needs or out of our assignments?

God usually always takes what is common to man and uses it

Deut6:5

You shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart all thy might

Love, Soul, Loyalty

Soul is your life

Love in Hebrew means loyalty

I shall be loyal to my lord with all my life all my heart and all my strength

When our assignment is impossible, God expects us to take the little end (like moses picked up the tail of the snake) and he picks up the big or tough end (the head of the snake)

Ez44:17-18

The Priests were not to wear wool just linen garments so they wouldn't bring their sweat or perspiration into the presence of the Lord. Through their own efforts

Be blessed

The flawed mindset can be our worst enemy. We find revelation in the battle between David and Goliath, and the meaning of Goliath's head as David brought it through different towns and then to present it to King Saul. 

This goes beyond the Renewing of the Mind which is at the beginning

Romans 6

The un renewed mind is at enmity with God

The renewed mind has to put up a guard against the un-renewed mind

It it the degree of effort we put forth is what it comes down to

Are we just looking for God to rebuild or are we looking to be restored

Restoration of what God intended

The renewing of the mind becomes key

We need to be looking for ways to address the problems without making the problems grow

Its not that we don’t know, it’s we don’t go far enough

From change to revelation

From revelation to change

Faith to faith is revelation

Glory to glory is change

Hab2:4

The just shall live by faith

Faith bring the revelation

Glory brings the change

Grace to grace

Enablement to enablement

Glory changes

Faith reveals

You might need your seatbelt and a cup of coffee or tea for this one. 

The battle in your mind

If we do not have a renewed mind we are at enmity with God (Rom8:7)

Wisdom is from here or from above which one do you have?

Meekness -is yielded strength

In our minds we’ve created shortages that exist in our mind

Passion translation (Rom12;1-2)

Prov23:7 As a man thinks in his heart so is he

Rom12:1-2

James 3:13 who is wise and understanding among you,
