Study the Bible with Arthur Bailey

Kingdom Authority and Kingdom Power are unique and distinct from one another as discussed in our previous teaching “Understanding Kingdom Authority." Kingdom Power is the work of the Holy Spirit manifesting its power in the lives of those being ministered to by the servants of the Most High who have been filled with the Holy Spirit. Kingdom Authority is given to those who have been chosen by Yeshua in YeHoVaH and who have accepted the calling of Messiah in their service to YeHoVaH. Both Kingdom Authority and Kingdom Power require faith in Yeshua in YeHoVaH. Arthur will lay out the connection between Kingdom Authority and faith in this life changing teaching, Walking in Kingdom Authority. 

YeHoVaH blessed Noah and his sons, and told them to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.  YeHoVaH also gave Noah and his sons permission to eat animal flesh.  On the surface it appears man can eat all beasts, but YeHoVaH had already made the distinction with Noah and his sons between the clean and the unclean animals.  Noah demonstrated this knowledge during his sacrifice to YeHoVaH by not offering any of the unclean animals as a sacrifice.

Father establishes an everlasting Covenant with Creation that all flesh will not be cut off anymore by waters of a flood and that never again shall a flood destroy the earth.  The covenant promise by YeHoVaH did not require anything from man.  The rainbow is a sign from YeHoVaH reminding Him and us of this everlasting Covenant made in the days of Noah.

Kingdom Minded Living requires an understanding of Kingdom Authority. Kingdom Authority is a source of power similar to, but different than the Power of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua was sent by YeHoVaH with Kingdom Authority, was baptized with the Holy Spirit, and immediately began His teaching ministry in the Power of the Holy Spirit. While teaching the multitude of people in His first public teaching, Yeshua taught with Kingdom Authority, provided understanding, and distinguished His teachings from the teachers the people had been accustomed to listening to. Join us as Yeshua provides unique insight into Understanding Kingdom Authority as He teaches those who have ears to hear. 

It had rained for 40 days and 40 nights; the water prevailed on the earth 150 days.  And God remembered Noah and every living thing that was with him in the Ark.  Approximately 1 year and 10 days from the time that Noah and the other inhabitants went in the Ark, they came out of the Ark.  Noah trusted YeHoVaH who told him to go into the Ark and Noah was not leaving the Ark until YeHoVaH said so.  Noah’s sacrifice to YeHoVaH moved Him to make a vow that is still in effect to this day.

During Yeshua's first public teaching, He instructs His listeners to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Yeshua continues to teach them how they are to see things from a Kingdom perspective in judging others, prayer, and developing a Kingdom mindset or Kingdom way of thinking and living. Yeshua begins to lay the foundation for Kingdom living at the very beginning of His public ministry. He reveals to us that the Gospel of the Kingdom embodies a variety of subject matters that deal with us personally, in community, and in communion with YeHoVaH. Join us as Yeshua continues His first public teaching and reveals Kingdom minded thinking and living for those who receive the Kingdom of Heaven/God (YeHoVaH). 

After Father determined to destroy all flesh on earth, He gave man the opportunity to repent. The Bible reveals that before the flood came, Noah preached righteousness. The people rejected what Noah had to say and dismissed his preaching and his warnings to their own demise. YeHoVaH gave Noah specific instructions on how to build an ark and the occupants that would go into the Ark. Every clean and unclean beast in the earth at the time of Noah was represented on the Ark to preserve the species. Although it rained forty days and nights, the water prevailed on the earth 150 days.

Yeshua's first public teaching was to a multitude of people who had come from the surrounding area of Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. Yeshua's teaching covered a wide variety of topics such as blessings, the teachings of the scribes and Pharisees, charity, prayer, forgiving and fasting. This week we explore Yeshua's teaching on Money, Worries, and Kingdom Righteousness. In this portion of Yeshua's teaching to the multitude, He challenges His listeners to confront the issues that get in the way and hinder their faith in YeHoVaH. Yeshua focuses on their personal issues, which they are powerless to change, and appeals to them to seek the One who can make changes in their lives.

Noah was righteous in the midst of unrighteousness; without blemish in the midst of fallen people. Noah did not let the evil and corrupt society he lived in corrupt his character. Noah walked with YeHoVaH when others chose not to walk with YeHoVaH. Instead of taking Noah like YeHoVaH took Enoch, He started over with Noah. Noah did not allow the rejection of his preaching to stop him from preaching or give up on the people he preached too until YeHoVaH told him to go into the Ark.

Spirit-filled and Spirit-led people must be Kingdom minded in all we do and say to access and receive the rewards of our Father in Heaven. Yeshua addresses a wide variety of issues facing the people of the Kingdom. He teaches us how to think and do as He did in public and in private. In this teaching, Charity, Prayer, Forgiving and Fasting, Yeshua reveals His mind on these topics in a way that we can learn to be pleasing to our Father in Heaven and receive the rewards thereof. This portion of Yeshua's teaching to the multitude illustrates and highlights the differences between how the Kingdom minded believer should live his/her life and faith in private and in public in contrast to how the religious minded individuals lived their faith in a public setting.

Some believe the sons of God were fallen angels, but Arthur doesn’t  believe or teach that.  The sons of God were the godly men born to Seth and his descendants.  Abel, who was killed by Cain, was righteous based on the testimony of God.  Seth was a replacement for Abel according to Mrs. Adam.  Seth’s offspring begin to call on YeHoVaH. The daughters of men were the daughters of Cain.  Remember, Cain went out from the presence of God, was evil, and was of the wicked one.
