Many believers today are unaware of what it truly means to be a disciple, an ambassador, or part of the ecclesia.

This video unpacks critical truths about:

• The role of the Church as God's embassy on Earth

• Why the Church is not a democracy or a fan club

• How believers are called to be agents of reconciliation

• The danger of self-appointed leaders without Kingdom authority

• Why unity and understanding of Kingdom components matter

Whether you're a pastor, a churchgoer, or someone seeking truth, this message will challenge and equip you to step into your God-given assignment with clarity

The things you’re trying to accomplish, the things you desire, and the promises God has made to you always seem to come with a long list of requirements. Everything God has in His Kingdom, the entire lifestyle, already belongs to you, but you must learn how to operate in it.

In this special Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Mike Darnell shares the good news: Jesus removed the requirement. How did He remove it? He nailed it to the cross.

There are things that have been keeping you from stepping into what God has already given you, but those requirements were nailed to the cross. That’s something you need to understand. They were nailed to the cross with Jesus. He took them out of the way.

While you were dead in trespasses, Jesus made you alive and placed you in Him, and everything He did from that point on now belongs to you, apart from your own effort.

Remember, the systems, traditions, and wisdom of men tie you to their regulations and requirements, rules you must keep. And if you fail to meet the standard, you face the penalty.

This creates a dualistic mindset, one of good and evil. But through repentance and renewing your mind, you learn to hold fast to the Head and experience the freedom and benefits Jesus secured for you through His finished work on the cross.

You must know the difference between God's wisdom and the many alternative "wisdoms" presented by the world. True wisdom always points us back to God. Whether or not one believes in the Bible, it remains the source of divine wisdom. As believers, our responsibility is to be seekers of truth, not just any truth, but God’s truth. Seeking first the Kingdom of God! There is a right wisdom and a right realm of wisdom, and it’s not the earth.

In Shout Part 2, Pastor Mike Darnell teaches the dangers of relying on human knowledge, carnal reasoning, or traditions because they subtly pull us away from God. Foolishness or open-mindedness is wisdom disconnected from God. Be reminded to be cautious when claiming to speak for God and to prioritize developing a deep, personal relationship with Him, so you are not easily misled. Only through that relationship and the ability to filter everything you hear by knowing the truth, can you discern what is truly wise and avoid being misled by the alternative wisdoms of the world.

In Max Favor Part 7, Pastor Mike Darnell explains what rest is according to the Kingdom. Rest is not about being idle; rest is an action word.

Jesus demonstrated that there is another way to get things done—a higher way to work. He provided examples of how the Kingdom of God operates.

Rest is only possible when you submit to a different way of thinking. You must align yourself with a completely different government. You cannot remain stuck in familiar methods or rely solely on earthly means.

Increasing your knowledge of the Kingdom and embracing that knowledge will transform how you work. This is vital for the people of God because true distinction comes only when we change how we operate.

If there is no distinction, there is no attraction for the lost. What drew people to Jesus and His disciples was how they worked—the way Jesus worked exempt from earthly limitations.

How do you navigate life? How do you manifest what you need? How did Jesus multiply loaves and fish seemingly out of thin air? You must tap into favor and maximize it.

There is another stream of information flowing through your environment, but you’re not tuned in to it. Allow God to train you, pulling you out of your familiar surroundings so you can find rest or, in other words, discover a new way to work.

It is essential to understand favor correctly, recognize how environmental information impacts you and shapes your beliefs. Learn how to properly submit, settle, and rest.

In this episode, we dive deep into the misunderstood concept of the Kingdom of God and why so many people mix Kingdom principles with worldly thinking. What does it truly mean to repent, and how does it go beyond just changing your mind? We'll explore Jesus' powerful message in Matthew 4:17 and uncover how repentance is about shifting your entire environment to align with the Kingdom.

Many believers struggle to see real transformation because their mindset is still shaped by worldly systems rather than Kingdom truth. We'll break down why the Kingdom is not just another religious concept but an entirely different reality that Jesus came to restore. Are we truly seeking first the Kingdom, or are we relying on human advancements and calling them "God’s way"?

Join us as we expose the limitations of earthly thinking, the dangers of a dualistic mindset, and the incredible power of becoming spiritually minded.

Favor is a gift that is received, but it is based on several key factors. It depends on things like readiness, preparation, trustworthiness, design, and other important elements detailed in Max Favor Part 6. Favor is a gift. It is what God gives you, but submission is what we give in return.

Favor is divine influence on the heart of man, and is tied to submission. It is essential to understand submission and to honor the sources of life that God has placed in your journey. To submit is to honor, and submission is the key to receiving from a king in the Kingdom.

When you submit yourself to a higher order, you are choosing to honor what God has instructed rather than seeking your own reasons to obey. True submission honors your Heavenly Father by valuing what He has commanded you to honor.

Episode 4 of the RPGM Podcast is all about the impact of Kingdom Theology. It’s about reprogramming your thinking, not just adopting the best worldly wisdom and calling it divine but actually shifting to an entirely different mindset, one rooted in the reality of God’s kingdom. Jesus didn’t come just to teach morality or improve human wisdom; He came to reveal a world that operates by completely different laws, beyond the natural cause-and-effect system we’ve been conditioned to accept. The Bible describes the world as being under a mass delusion, controlled by the god of this world, the devil (1 John 5). People live within a mental and spiritual "box," confined by human reasoning, scientific predictability, and cultural programs that define their reality. Whether through religion, philosophy, or ideology, they seek truth within that limited framework, unaware that Jesus came to free them from it. Kingdom theology, the study of God from a Kingdom perspective, restores the original design found in Genesis 1. Mankind was created for dominion, to share in God's rule over His domain. Jesus preached this message relentlessly, but modern Christianity has often focused more on preaching about Jesus than preaching what He actually taught. Without Kingdom theology, people create their own schemes, cultures, and belief systems that ultimately leave them powerless and trapped in a worldly paradigm. This podcast will challenge you to step out of the box, renew your mind with Kingdom truths, and embrace the rulership God intended for you. It’s time to stop playing the game of the world and start living as citizens of another reality, God’s kingdom.Register for the 2025 Reprogram Conference: https://brushfire.com/excel-church/re...Kingdom Mentorship & Excel University: https://courses.kingdommentorship.comVisit Excel Church: www.excelchurchatlanta.comMore Kingdom Resources from Pastor Mike Darnell: https://linktr.ee/mikedarnellTranscript
