The Myles Munroe Kingdom Training Seminar Goal The overall goal of this Kingdom Training Seminar is to prepare participants to teach the Kingdom with a thematic focus on “Understanding Kingdom Concepts and Influencing Contemporary Society”.

Seminar Description This four-day study on the KINGDOM and Kingdom concepts is designed to train participants in how to guide individuals into rediscovering the kingdom in their generation. The goal is to discover the truth about the Kingdom of God, and the outworking of the Prayer of Jesus, “Thy Kingdom come…”. The sub-themes that set the foundation for the training sessions are: (1) The Kingdom Theology of the entire Bible, The Kingdom Theology of Jesus, and The Kingdom Theology of the Apostles. This will be studied with specific reference to understanding the concepts of Kingdoms, understanding theology & the church, Kingdom concepts of government, strategies for social change, the kingdom concept of taxation and social justice, the kingdom concept of power to influence and the kingdom concept of righteous government. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of Advanced Kingdom Theology, as found in the Bible, in the predominant teachings of Jesus and His apostles, of the mandate of colonization or the taking over of a community by the dominant Kingdom culture and concepts, that is, the kingdom community mandate, and exploring issues related to the kingdom, of the Kingdom role of the Church and in contemporary society. There will be a forum for discussions and questions and answers. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in small group discussions, and topics for research and Practical Project development are highlighted. A panel discussion is planned where all the Presenters interact with all participants and leaders attending.

Special Features Presentation outlines have been especially designed to facilitate the teaching of the Kingdom. Each presentation begins with a kingdom word focus (the key scripture verses) that summarizes the lesson presentation. Measurable objectives are stated and are achievable. The objectives are written to ensure that presenters provoke thought and higher level thinking along with the understanding of fundamental concepts and principles. Presentations include sections that outline main ideas, key concepts, key terminologies and definitions and a section that outlines the content of the presentation. Power Point presentations are used to facilitate the teaching of the content and to provide participants with additional information.

Teaching Guides Teaching Guides have been created by presenters to provide participants with core essential and additional information and ideas to promote learning. Suggestions for the introduction, development and the conclusion of the presentations in this series are included along with ideas for teaching resources.

TEACHING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the original message Dominion Mandate of God in Genesis 1:26 and how this is the foundation of all the scriptures that refer to his focus on the Kingdom. This matter deals with the original idea of God and how that idea was the substance and primary content of the entire Bible's message. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that focuses on leaving earth rather than colonizing earth, which has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original and present will and purposes of God. Going back and understanding the original mandate, mission and message of God for mankind will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical theology. It is important that the teacher show the clear focus and multiple statements and references in the Old and New Testament pointing to Kingdom Dominion in earth as the priority subject of scripture. The teacher must stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man regarding such topics as eschatology, rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like and keep the main thing the main thing- the Colonization of earth by the Kingdom of Heaven. LESSON DEVELOPMENT Having established the fact that the Kingdom Dominion and Colonization concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of the Bible throughout the Gospels, the teacher should underscore the fact that all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom of Heaven back to earth to Colonize earth with heaven. CONCLUSION The colonization of earth by the Kingdom of Heaven is the main message of the Bible and expressed by Jesus Christ. This message must return to its place of preeminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise. It is this message that is the ultimate reason for the return of the Jesus Christ Himself, the Lord to earth. Matt 6:10-11 "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

2 Understanding Kingdom Theology & The Church

By: Dr. C.B. Peter Morgan

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR Session #2 TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM THEOLOGY AND THE CHURCH (A Biblical Perspective)

Presenter: Dr. C.B. Peter Morgan SCRIPTURE FOCUS Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 Psalm 19:1-3 Matthew 16:13-20 INTRODUCTION Over the past century and a half the focus and impact of the Christian message have been quite diverse and in many respects lacking in relevance both to the personal devotional life of the individual as well as in its practical impact on the social, political and domestic life of the community. The study of theology as an academic discipline and as a necessity within the Church community has almost become a lost cause. In more recent times there has developed a distinct skepticism about the relevance of the traditional and institutional churches. Traditional “religiosity” and “formalism” are giving way to “relational experiences” and a need for intimacy with God with its practical impact on lifestyle relevance and transformational impact on the society. It is within this context that renewed interest is being developed in the Kingdom message and the practical lifestyle of Jesus beyond the walls of the traditional and institutional Church. This has placed a new demand on Christian leaders to re-examine the Church from its biblical roots and to re-define its relevance both to the personal devotional life of the individual as well as its role as a transformational agency within the development of civic and national cultures. The purpose of this Lesson is to present a biblical understanding of the Kingdom of God as the focal message of the Church in today’s world. But it is more than a message. It is a cultural lifestyle with a defined ethical-moral frame of reference to bring redemption to individuals within the context of their domestic and community environments.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS 1. The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God It describes the authority of God's rule within Heaven. As it is used within the biblical tradition it describes the providential rule of God within specific spheres of man's life in order to impose His will on earth as it is in Heaven. 2. The Nation Community A group of people distinguished by a commitment and submission to a common set of values, laws, moral standards, ideals, norms and spiritual authority, unified by a corporate responsibility and accountability and governed by political leadership usually within a Parliamentary setting. "A stable, historically developed community of people, with a territory, economic life, distinctive culture and language in common .... united under a single government." (Western Dictionary) 3. The Ekklesia: God’s Agent of Transformation in the Earth. A Body of Believers in The Lord Jesus Christ, called out from the world to form a redeemed community committed to the worship of The Lord, the discipling of its members, and the evangelisation of the world. Jesus used the term "Ekklesia" which was a "City Assembly" within the Greco-Roman world of called out citizens to represent the city in providing judicial, legislative and executive decisions for the well-being of the people. OBJECTIVES 1. To present the Kingdom of God as the central message in the transformation of lives and ultimately in the reordering of the environment of righteous man. 2. To establish that the mandate of the Church goes beyond evangelizing men, to the transformation of their communities and nations for the stewardship of God’s earth. 3. To convince Christian leaders in the 21st century of their responsibility to fulfil God’s purpose for their lives beyond the walls of the Church and within their communities. MAIN IDEAS AND KEY CONCEPTS 1. The Church impacts and influences the nation as salt, light, yeast and seed. 2. The Church must produce men and women with the professional skill, the moral integrity and the spiritual insight to create structure, determine policy and implement programmes for the development of the nation-state. 3. The Messianic Kingdom of Christ initiated a new era in the dispensation of realising the vision of God for the nations of the world which would find its end in the return of the Messiah when the Kingdom-nations of this world will become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ. 4. Kingdom Theology embraces a transformational mindset which goes: a. Beyond relevance to revolution b. Beyond evangelism to community transformation c. Beyond providing relief to implementing development d. Beyond redemption to reconciliation e. Beyond servitude to empowerment f. Beyond history and heritage to destiny and hope g. Beyond celebration to worship

TEACHING CONTENT 1. NATIONS: the context of ministry 2. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN/ GOD: the sphere and authority of God’s Reign. 3. THE EKKLESIA OF CHRIST: His Temple, His Body, His Witnesses in the earth. 4. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST: The covenant of God with man 5. THE SHALOM OF GOD: The reconciliation between God and man 6. THE JOY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The cause of Celebration and Worship 7. Summary: The Kingdom Church in the world. 1. NATIONS: the context of ministry The "Seed of Nations" Early biblical nation concepts Modern nation- states Eight Elements in the Nation Construct 2. THE KINGOM OF HEAVEN/ GOD: the sphere and authority of God. The General BASILEIA Construct The BASILEIA of Rome The BASILEIA of Christ The BASILEIA of Heaven COLONISATION: plan, interruption and restoration 3. THE EKKLESIA OF CHRIST: His Temple, His Body, His Witnesses in the earth. The EKKLESIA of the Greco-Roman city-states The EK-KALEO of Christ The UNIQUE Body Its Role, its mandate its responsibility 4. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST: The covenant of God with man The Pioriti: Seeking first His Kingdom The Relational dimension The Legal dimension The COVENANTAL dimension 5. THE SHALOM OF GOD: The reconciliation between God and man The PAX ROMANA vs the SHALOM OF CHRIST A New Peace A New People A New Society 6. THE JOY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The cause of Celebration and Worship Internal Assurance of His Presence, Power and Blessing Seasonal Celebrative Feasts and Festivals Rejoicing Always in spite of .... Worship: the depth of intimacy. 7. Summary: The Kingdom Church in the world

Through Christ, a new platform was established, His Ekklesia. He declared that no authority, agency, potentate would be able to thwart its power and influence. A national vision must begin with God and not with man. How it is organised and governed is man's stewardship responsibility. Jesus Himself never fitted in any of the constructs of the political, economic, social, religious or military culture. He established a construct which had never been built before. It was a new order, a new world, a new creation, a new community, a new construct and new Kingdom. When Jesus came, He addressed nations as He addressed cities and peoples, but all from the perspective of the Kingdom of God. By the end of the third century the entire culture of Rome began to crumble and to give way to the teachings and the laws and principles of the Kingdom of God as presented by the Church and the Christian community. I wonder when the headlines of our generation will ever accuse us of such an achievement in your country and in mine!!

4 Understanding The Kingdom Concepts of Government

By: Dr. Myles Munroe

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR SESSION #4

TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM CONCEPTS OF GOVERNMENT Presenter: Dr Myles Munroe KINGDOM FOCUS Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV [6] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. …Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. … Isa 45:18 18 For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. NIV Gen 1:26-28 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them DOMINION (rule) over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.“ 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Have DOMINION (Rule) over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.“ NIV Ps 8:4-6 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him ruler/Governor over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: NIV Matt: 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Jude 4 2 Tim. 3:16-17, Prov. 21: 21-22, Ps 19: 7-9, Phil 3: 19-21, John 15: 10, Matt 19: 16-20,

Ps 112: 1-4, Ps 1:1- 4 OBJECTIVES As a result of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Rediscover the Original Plan of God for earth and mankind, and define the PRIORITY of GOVERNMENT in the Kingdom; 2. Explain the Legal Mission of Jesus to reinforce the Priority and Power of the Law in the Kingdom, and to restore the Law of God on the Earth; And discover how to restore Law by resurrecting the ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT; 3. Contrast this with the misplaced focus on God’s love for us VS our love for submission and commitment to His GOVERNMENT and to HIM; 4. Explain the standard of Righteousness. God has set only two Priorities. They are our seeking first His Kingdom AND secondly HIS Righteousness!. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matt 6: 33-34; 5. Rediscover the Principle of Righteousness – to be in right standing, position in relation to GOVERNMENT and authority. Conformity with the legal corpus (Deut 16:20); and rediscover the power of Obedience; 6. Consider well the Passion of Jesus and His Priority – not to abolish the Law, but to establish the GOVERNMENT – INFLUENCE & CULTURE OF HEAVEN. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT A RELIGION BUT A COUNTRY; 7. Discuss and rediscover the PLAN of GOD for THE CHURCH AND THE PLACE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN VS HEAVEN-FOCUSED THE RELIGION. The greatest failure of the Church is that we have made RELIGION more important than THE KINGDOM, and we have used RELIGION to disobey the Great Commission TO DISCIPLE THE NATIONS. 8. Rediscover the purpose of GOVERNMENT, which is to keep the KINGDOM INFLUENCE on earth. 9. Explain the Key to Righteousness GOVERNMENT, which is KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY OF HEAVEN (THE WORD). The Source of Kingdom Law is the BIBLE, which is the CONSTITUTION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD and the Source of Righteousness of the Citizen; 10. Distinguish between GOVERNMENT and Ritual Religion. 11. Explain DUAL CITIZENSHIP, and Kingdom Citizenship, and reiterate the KEY to KINGDOM AUTHORITY, which is OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN.

12. Define the Principle of Obedience and submission to HEAVEN’S GOVERNMENT, which is willful submission to the regulations, Laws, standard and inherent Principles required for the function of a Citizen; And 13. Demonstrate the practical Benefits of Submission to KINGDOM GOVERNMENT and the Gains to Law – Abiding Citizens. MAIN IDEAS  The heaven focus and predominating theology of the 20th and 21st centuries is not the principal focus of the Bible. The Kingdom earthly – focused theology is the main Intention and Determination of God through Heaven’s Government.  It is God’s Purpose and the LEGAL MISSION of Jesus to restore the GOVERNEMNT OF HEAVEN AND LAWS of God on Earth.  True GOVERNMENT, established by the Creator, never goes away, must be rediscovered and restored, and is restored by resurrecting the Original Law.  Concerning the Priority of GOVERNMENT, Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the LAW (CULTURE) or the Prophets” Matt 5: 17-20. He came to fulfill the Law that is, to explain, enforce, restore meaning to, and restore the “Spirit of the law”.  Two priorities on God’s agenda are “the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness” (Matt 6: 33-34). His righteousness means right standing in relation to Authority and Law wish is GOVERNMENT INFLUENCE.  The Passion of Jesus is seen in His Prayer – to petition Government Authority. Matt. 6: 9-10. “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This means establishing the GOVERNMENT - LAW-CULTURE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH.  The most important Principle of a Kingdom is OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION TO THE KINDOM GOVERNMENT. This is the KEY to KINGDOM SUCCESS.  THE BIBLE IS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and the Source of Righteousness for the citizen.  CITIZEN’S OBLIGATION and Responsibility is to submit to the GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN and obey the laws of the land. Jesus measures our status in the Kingdom by how well we keep LAW  KINGDOM CITIZENSHIP is DUAL CITIZENSHIP. THE KEY TO KINGDOM CITIZENSHIP IS OBEDIENCE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND LAW. LAW – abiding citizens love God, submit to the Authority of Laws and Principles, and live lives of Righteousness, reaping all the benefits of LAW – ABIDING CITIZENS.

KEY CONCEPTS  The Original Purpose of God was to restore His Kingdom – GOVERNMENT on the earth, with the rule of His LAW established on earth as it is established in Heaven. 

The Mission and Passion of Jesus were not to cancel or abolish the LAW of God but to restore the GOVERNMENT of God on Earth.



Love for God means Obedience to the GOVERNMENT of God and this leads to Righteousness. God has two PRIORITIES, “But seek first the Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness” Matt 6: 33-34



The greatest problem and failure of the church is Religion and not GOVERNMENT, where RFELIGION is made more important than KINGDOM GOVERNMEN.



Salvation and Grace were given to submit to the KINGDOM GOVERNING LAWS of God.



The Source of Kingdom GOVERNMENT Law is the Bible, which is the Constitution of the Kingdom of God, and the source of Righteousness for the citizen.

 Citizens’ obligation under the KINGDOM GOVERNMENT is to keep the laws of the land, and Jesus measures our status in the Kingdom by how well we keep Law. 

Law – Abiding citizens love THE GOVERNMENT OF God and obey the Father’s commands. Obedience to the Law is followed by the reaping of great benefits by Kingdom citizens.

TEACHING GUIDE Introduction This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the Original Kingdom GOVERNMENT mandate by the Creator, the One who is Sovereign Lord of Heaven and Earth. Review and teach that man was created to GOVERN EARTH and obey LAW but rebellion led to Law-Breaking in the beginning. Submission to God’s KINGDOM GOVERNMENT and Divine Law is still God’s Priority and Purpose in order for man to reap the full benefits of Law-abiding citizens, and in order for Jesus’ prayer to be answered “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” The church today has had a focus on the Religion and separation from the Governing process, and the priority has not been on adherence to, and submission to the GOVERNMENT INFLUENCE of the Kingdom of God. The result of over-emphasis on Grace has been Anarchy and Lawlessness in the nations of the earth and not GOVERNMENT IMPACT.

Lesson Development Having established the PRIORITY of GOVERNMENT in the Kingdom, the teacher should now focus on explaining CONCEPTS OF GOVERNEMNT and the Legal Mission of Jesus, which was to restore the GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN on earth.

Stress that TRUE GOVERNMENT is established by the Creator and can never be destroyed, can only be disobeyed, and must be Rediscovered and Restored. KINGDOM GOVERNMENT will always restore HEAVENLY Order. Hence the Priority of KINGDOM GOVERNMENT in the teachings of Jesus Who came not to ABOLISH the GOVERNMENT but to restore it. He taught that in order to enter the Kingdom, one must adhere to a Standard for righteousness for Kingdom citizens by submission to the Kingdom GOVERNOR- HOLY SPIRIT. Stress that the Prayer of Jesus displays His Priority and His Passion “Your Kingdom (GOVERNMENT) come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” Emphasize that a Kingdom GOVERNMENT is not a Democracy. The most important Principle of a kingdom is OBEDIENCE, which positions a citizen for success. The teacher may carefully present THE CONCEPT OF GOVERNMENT as the primary work of the Messiah and where the church has made religion more important than KINGDOM GOVERNMENT. The teacher should focus clearly on the fact and truth that GOVERNMENT AND HEAVEN’S LAWS were given in order for man TO KEEP AND MANIFEST the CULTURE on earth. Explain the need for KNOWLEDGE of the KINGDOM CONCEPT OF RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT of a country. This is the Key to Righteousness or will-full obedience to the Laws of heaven. And that obedience is followed by successful living. Righteousness GOVERNMENT should be pursued by Kingdom citizens, who will inherit the land, and find life, prosperity and honor. Prov. 21: 21-22; Ps. 37: 29-30. The Key to Kingdom GOVERNMENT Authority – (Authority is personal Right to exercise Power through Alignment with Constitutional Law) is Obedience to LAW. Conclusion Display to those being taught the Benefits of being KINGDOM GOVERNMENT and obedience as Law-abiding citizens of a nation and of the Kingdom. Great delight in obedience, wealth and riches, “Light dawns for the upright” PS 112: 1-4. Ps 1: 1-4 “Blessed is the man who submits to the LAW. Prosperity and success mark his life. Present to students and participants that God Himself delights to see His Kingdom established by THE LAW OF KINGDOM GOVERNMENT and His children walking according to LAW, following the Bible, the Constitution, and displaying the benefits of salvation, grace and LAW.

• • • • •

The fall of mankind was the loss of Government. The promise of God was the restoration of THE KINGDOM GOVERNMENT to earth. Heaven is the only hope for earth. God never established a religion on earth. Jesus came to earth to return the Kingdom Government influence of heaven to earth.

TEACHING GUIDE Introduction: Expound the following scripture: Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Man was created to influence & rule the earth with the nature of God LESSON DEVELOPMENT The teacher must establish the fact that the Kingdom of God brings transformation through heavenly cultural integration and infiltration of earth. The heavenly colonization of earth is the original, primary and consistent theme of the Bible. Our focus in this lesson is the business sector and bringing influence into their communities through their business and/or gift. MAIN IDEAS The teacher must expound on our objective as Kingdom citizens having received the Kingdom, and our role in the mandate Jesus proclaimed “Occupy until I return.” You must emphasize the unique gift that everyone was born with and must discover and develop in order to deploy themselves. Ask the participants if they have ever had a great idea, or wanted to start a business and encourage them to document their vision. Ask the participants to think about their passion, gifting and talents. Use the list of 10 self-discovery questions to engage their thinking, for 70% of people in America are displeased with their job. Inspire them to start innovating and be creative in deploying themselves into their life work. Using the 10 pillars of national impact list, ask them what sector they enjoy and see themselves in.

Historically, the religious sector has focused on heaven, the rapture or solely preaching to one another in the church only. We must instead focus and impact the systems of the world, operating in our gift and purpose utilizing the resources that God entrusted us with. Train the participants in the skills necessary to do this in a practical way in order to influence their community according to their unique way and gift. Instruct how influence is an extremely powerful force, more powerful than position or strength, thus everyone can utilize it for the Kingdom of God. Emphasize how they must study and apply the Kingdom principles in their lives, family and business in order to have the proper tools necessary to influence. The end result will be influencing their community utilizing their business gift and resources. Emphasize to the participants to never underestimate the power of an idea, or business gift. It can start out very small, and develop into an organization that has much influence and a profound effect on many people. Dream big, but build small. Jesus said it best, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32 Note the following: • The Kingdom is not a religion but a government and a country. • The Kingdom is a Community • The Kingdom is a Society • The Kingdom is Culture • The Kingdom is a social system • The Kingdom is practical There are 10 systems that influence the world and the focus today is how to influence the business system. 1.Political - government 1.Economic - money 2.Business - commerce 3.Judicial - law 4.Health - Quality of life 5.Education - Training 6.Arts - Entertainment 7.Recreation - sport 8.Media - Mental Influence 9.Social - Relationships 10 self-discovery questions - Dr Myles Munroe 1. What is my deepest desire? 2. What is my passion? 3. What makes me angry? 4. What ideas are persistent? 5. What do I constantly imagine? 6. What do I want to do for humanity? 7. What are my recurring dreams? 8. What brings me the greatest fulfillment?

9. What could I do forever even if there was no monetary compensation? 10. What would I rather be doing? CONCLUSION The colonization of earth by the culture of the Kingdom of heaven and the transformation through heavenly cultural integration and infiltration is the main message of the Bible and expressed by Jesus Christ. This message must return to its place of prominence in the body of Christ. This message is the ultimate reason for the return of Jesus Christ Himself, the Lord to earth. Matt 6:10-11 " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” TEACHING RESOURCES    

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR SESSION #7 TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING KEYS TO KINGDOM GOVERNMENT IMPACT Presenter: Dr. Myles Munroe

Kingdom Focus 1. THE KINGDOM OF GOD is the first heavenly Government institution. 2. THE KINGDOM OF GOD is the dispensing of His will and justices for mankind on earth. 3.

He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. … Eph 3:9-12 To make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. NIV 1 Peter 2:11-12 "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Verse 12 - Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." NIV

Matt 6:9-11 "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. NIV Matt 13:24-26 " Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared." NIV Matt 13:27-30 ―'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up? 29 "'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. NIV Matt 13:37-39 "He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels." NIV Matt 13:33 "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough. ― NIV OBJECTIVES As a result of this session participants will be able to: 1.

TEACHING GUIDE Introduction This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of original message Kingdom GOVERNMENT Cultural Dominion Mandate of God in Genesis 1:26 and how this is the foundation of all the scriptures that refer to his focus on the Kingdom. This could be followed by explaining the priority of the original message Kingdom GOVERNMENT transformation through heavenly GOVERNMENT cultural integration and infiltration of (Genesis 1:26) and how this is the foundation of all the scriptures that refer to his focus on the Kingdom.

This matter deals with the original idea of God and how that idea was the substance and primary content of the entire Bible's message. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that focuses on leaving earth rather than colonizing earth with the GOVERNMENT Culture of Heaven, which has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original and present will of purposes of God, transformation through heavenly GOVERNMENT cultural integration and infiltration. Going back and understanding the original GOVERNMENT mandate, mission and message of God for mankind will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical theology. It is important that the teacher show the clear focus and multiple statements and references in the Old and New Testament pointing to Kingdom GOVERNMENT transformation through heavenly cultural integration and GOVERNMENT infiltration of earth as the priority subject of scripture. Without the Kingdom GOVERNMENT Concept biblical understanding and theology is defective and not adequately understood. The teacher must be wary of and stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man and found within the study of eschatology, and such topics as rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like. These topics must now be reexamined against the teachings of Jesus Christ in the four Gospels, the message of the Kingdom, and one should keep the main thing the main thing.- the transformation through heavenly GOVERNMENT cultural integration and infiltration of earth by the Kingdom of Heaven. Lesson Development Having established the fact that the Kingdom GOVERNMENT Culture Dominion and Colonization concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of the Bible throughout the Gospels. The teacher should underscore the fact that the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom GOVERNMENT of Heaven back to earth to Colonize earth with heaven. MANIFESTATIONS OF CULTURE 1. Values 2. Priorities 3. Behaviors 4. Standards 5. Celebration 6. Morality 7. Relationships 8. Ethics 9. Social Norms 10. Attitude 11. Dress 12. Foods

13. Response 14. Drink 15. Permits 16. Acceptance 17. Rejections 18. Distinctions 19. Quality standards 20. Environment Having explained these manifestations of culture, re-establish the fact that the Kingdom GOVERNMENT transformation through heavenly cultural integration and GOVERNMENT infiltration of earth and the Colonization concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of the Bible throughout the Gospels. The teacher should underscore the fact that the all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom GOVERNMENT of Heaven back to earth to Colonize earth with heaven transformation through heavenly cultural integration and infiltration. (John 3:16-18) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. NIV CONCLUSION The major theological Concept is that of the GOVERNMENT colonization of earth by the culture of the Kingdom GOVERNMENT of Heaven and the transformation through heavenly cultural integration and infiltration is the main message of the Bible and expressed by Jesus Christ and this message must return to its place of preeminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise and because it is this message that is the ultimate reason for the return of the Jesus Christ Himself, the Lord to earth. Matt 6:1011 "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. NIV TEACHING RESOURCES The Holy Bible.

8 The Kingdom Petition (The Lord’s Prayer)

By: Dr. Jerry Horner

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR Session #8 Topic: The Kingdom Petition (The Lord’s Prayer) Presenter: Dr. Jerry Horner

Kingdom Focus Matthew 6:5-13: “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom And the power and the Glory forever. Amen.”

Objectives As a result of this lecture, participants should be able to: 1. Contrast hypocritical prayer and genuine prayer.

2. Explain the principle that relationships develop in proportion to the depth of communication that takes place. 3. Discuss the proper motive and attitude in prayer. 4. Explain the purpose of Jesus in giving the Model Prayer. 5. Explain the difference between prayer that is repeated and prayer that is from the heart. 6. Interpret the biblical concept of God as Father. 7. Identify and explain the ultimate purpose of prayer. 8. Interpret the meaning of the petition, “Your kingdom come.” 9. Explain the necessity of giving and receiving forgiveness. 10. Show how the petition for God not to “lead us into temptation” is a positive prayer for protection. 11. Explain the difference between praise and worship.

Main Ideas 1. Jesus warns that the two most common dangers in prayer are praying like a hypocrite and praying like a heathen. 2. The hypocrite prays with the wrong motive; the heathen prays in the wrong manner. 3. The hypocrite perverts the purpose of prayer; the heathen misunderstands the nature of prayer. 4. The hypocrite prays to impress others; the heathen prays to impress God. 5. The hypocrite’s mistake is made deliberately; the heathen’s mistake is made ignorantly. 6. The admonition of Jesus to pray in secret does not preclude praying in public. 7. In secret prayer we concentrate on God’s presence and are content with His praise. 8. Instead of praying with meaningless repetition, we are to pray naturally, specifically and with simplicity. 9. Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance; it is laying hold of God’s willingness. 10. The Model Prayer is in two parts, with three petitions in each part. The first part concerns the glory of God, and the second part concerns our material, spiritual and moral needs. 11. The description of God as “Father” implies a special relationship with Him brought about by new birth. 12. Praise is a response of gratitude for all that God does; worship is a recognition of all that God is. 13. Basic to effective praying is the recognition of the sovereignty of God and the Lordship of Christ. 14. Prayer is not trying to get our will done in heaven; it is getting God’s will done on earth. 15. To pray “Your kingdom come” is to pray “my kingdom go.” 16. Sometimes our prayers are not answered because there is unconfessed, unrepented sin in our lives. 17. The refusal to forgive others shuts out the forgiveness of God.

18. God is not the author of temptation. The petition not to be led into temptation may be translated, “Lead us lest we fall into temptation.” 19. Satan wants to harm us that he can get at God indirectly. 20. Praise is the highest expression of faith.

Key Concepts 1. Jesus provides the pattern of prayer in His teaching and by His example. 2. The Sermon on the Mount and related biblical teachings present a counter-culture to that promoted by both a legalistic religion and a self-seeking society. 3. A “religious” righteousness is an ostentatious display of acts of piety seeking the applause of others. 4. Hypocrites “love to pray,” but it is not prayer that they love, nor the God to whom they are supposed to be praying. 5. Prayer and praise are authentic acts, but an ulterior motive perverts both. 6. Prayer is God’s idea. 7. Prayer was a vital part of the ministry of Jesus. His public life was supported by His private life with the Father. 8. There are two issues met in learning to pray: how to pray and what to pray. Jesus answers both. 9. Real prayer is sincere as opposed to hypocritical and thoughtful as opposed to mechanical. 10. A false or inadequate concept of God results in selfish and mindless prayers.

Terminologies and Definitions Abba – Aramaic term of tender endearment a child uses, expressing an affectionate, dependent relationship with the father. Comparable to “daddy” or “papa.” In a general sense God is “the Father from whom all things came” (1 Cor. 8:6), but in a particular sense in the New Testament we are brought into that special relationship with Him as Abba (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6). Name – The name of God does not refer to the letters G O D. The name stands for the person who bears it, for his character and activity. Therefore, God’s “name” is God Himself as He is as He is in Himself and has revealed Himself. Praise – A response of gratitude for all that God does. Worship – A recognition of all that God is. Kingdom of God – A “kingdom” is a realm in which the will and power of a king are expressed. God is already King, reigning in absolute sovereignty over the universe and history, but Jesus announced a new and special disclosure of the kingly rule of God, with all the blessings of salvation and the demands of submission that divine rule implies. To pray that God’s Kingdom may “come” is to pray both that it may grow, as more people submit to Jesus, and that it will be consummated soon when Jesus returns in glory.

Debts – Sin is likened to a “debt” because it deserves to be punished. But when God forgives sin, He remits the penalty and drops the charge against us. Repetitions – The Greek word used in Matthew 6:7 is difficult to translate, and the English word “repetitions” is misleading, unless the emphasis is on “vain” rather than on “repetitions.” Jesus is not prohibiting all repetition, for He repeated Himself in prayer (see Matt. 26:44) and commended perseverance and importunity in prayer. He is condemning meaningless, mechanical verbosity, babbling and rambling on and on in a torrent of words, trying to impress God by one’s vocabulary.

Teaching Guide Introduction

The Sermon on the Mount deals with kingdom lifestyle. Jesus gives an insistent call to His followers to be different. In Matthew 5 He gives the moral basis for life in His kingdom, declaring that righteousness penetrates beyond our actions and words to our heart, mind and motives. Thus, our righteousness must be greater than that of the Pharisees, because they obeyed the letter of the law, while our obedience must include our heart. Furthermore, our righteousness, in the form of love, must be greater than that of the heathen, because they love each other, while our love must include our enemies as well. In Matthew 6 He makes the same two contrasts with regard to “religious” righteousness. He says of the ostentatious religion of the Pharisees, “You shall not be like the hypocrites” (v. 5), and He says of the mechanical formalism of the heathen, “Do not be like them” (v. 8). He gives three examples of “religious” righteousness— almsgiving, praying and fasting. We will examine the teaching of Jesus concerning real praying as contrasted with hypocritical and pagan praying. There is not a more important subject in all the world for kingdom citizens than to learn how to pray. In Matthew 6:5-13 Jesus taught a pattern prayer. In learning to pray, we must deal with two problems: how to pray and what to pray. Every problem we encounter in prayer revolves around these two questions, and Jesus answers both. He did not say, “Pray this prayer.” He said, “In this manner, therefore, pray.” His purpose was not to give us a form prayer to be ritually and mindlessly recited. He gave us a pattern, a blueprint, an example to follow when we pray. It covers everything in principle and contains everything that we could ask of God. This pattern prayer deals with every conceivable need we will ever encounter. When we pray, regardless of the length of our prayer, we are simply expanding the principles found here. According to Jesus, this is the way to pray, and every prayer built according to these specifications will be answered. Lesson Development It is easy to miss the inner reality of the kingdom in the outward displays of religion that Jesus exposed in the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 6 Jesus repeatedly warned against outward acts of religion that lead us farther and farther away from the kingdom’s presence in our daily lives. The teacher should describe how the hypocrites hired a trumpeter to announce when they were going to give an offering, so people would watch and admire their piety and generosity. They would go to crowded public places to pray aloud, often with prolonged and wordy prayers. These acts were mere games played to be seen by other men and to win a reputation for piety. Many people were led to believe that the way to find the kingdom was by imitating such public acts. It is extremely important to emphasize the warnings that Jesus gave against such practice. External things done to be seen by others as evidence of spirituality cannot measure kingdom reality. Prayer is hypocrisy when it becomes a public exhibition to impress others and we make it a spiritual status symbol. An illustration is a quote from Napoleon: “Vanity was the cause of the revolution. Liberty was only a pretext.” Attention should be given to the fact that the prayer that prevails is for the children of God their Father. People may speak of the universal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man. That is not true, because, while we may be brothers in our humanity, spiritually we are not brothers until we are born into the family of God and have one common Father. In John 8:44 Jesus identified the devil as the father of the

unsaved Pharisees, and John 1:12 identifies the true children of God as those who believe in Christ and receive Him. See also Galatians 4:6. Explain that our interest in God must be much more than what He may do for us, or what we may get from Him, and that true prayer begins with a recognition of who He is. While praise is a response of gratitude for all that He does, worship is a recognition of all that He is. The wise men worshipped Jesus as a baby not because of anything He had done, but in recognition of who He was (Matt. 2:2, 11). Explain that a kingdom is a realm in which the will and power of a king are expressed, and that we live in the kingdom Jesus rules when we do His will. Prayer has one purpose, and one purpose only, that God’s will be done. 1 John 5:14 and John 15:7 are supportive Scriptures. Show how the three petitions for our own needs are comprehensive, covering, in principle, all our human need—material, spiritual and moral. Whenever we pray this prayer, we are expressing our dependence upon God in every area of our human life. To pray for “daily bread” is to be conscious of a day-by-day dependence. A supportive Scripture is Philippians 4:19. The petition for forgiveness is further emphasized in verses 14 and 15, which state that our Father will forgive us if we forgive others, but will not forgive us if we refuse to forgive others. This teaching certainly does not mean that we can earn the right to be forgiven. It means that God forgives only the penitent, and that one of the chief evidences of true penitence is a forgiving spirit. See Matthew 18:23-35. The prayer for deliverance is not an indication that God might otherwise lead us into temptation, because He is never the author of temptation (James 1:13; 2 Pet. 2:9). The petition is that God will lead us lest we fall into temptation. It is through the Spirit’s indwelling power that we are rescued from the evil one. The Model Prayer ends on a note of praise, as it began with a note of worship. All powerful prayer is filled with praise, because God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3) and because praise is an expression of faith (see Rom. 4:20, 21). Praise is faith turned inside out. Conclusion Religious pharisaism is far from dead. When prayer and worship become an exhibitionist display intended to gain for ourselves a reputation for piety, the service of God is degraded into self-service. In contrast, the top priority for true citizens of the kingdom of God is not our name, kingdom and will, but God’s. We have the heart of a Father who can hear us and the hand of a King who can answer us. Here is our right to pray. We are not beggars cowering at the back door pleading for a handout. We are children seated at the table of our Father, and our Father is the King. A good illustration the teacher may want to use is the story of a Roman emperor who was entering Rome in triumph after a victorious battle. As the magnificent procession moved down the broad street, a small child suddenly darted through the fence of soldiers lining the street and headed for the golden chariot in which the emperor was riding. One of the soldiers grabbed him, shouting, “That is the emperor!” The child broke loose and, racing

for the chariot, shouted back, “Your emperor, my father!” What right do we have to bring petitions to the throne of the King? He is our Father!

Teaching Resources  The best source for teaching about the Kingdom Petition is the New Testament.  Myles Munroe’s Kingdom Series provide down-to-earth practical insights into Kingdom principles and their application to daily living.  During his lifetime, Martyn Lloyd-Jones was widely considered to be the premier expository preacher in the English-speaking world. His work Studies in the Sermon on the Mount is most profitable for those who want to have a deeper understanding of the teachings of Jesus.  In addition, his book, The Kingdom of God, a compilation of twelve sermons, provides thoughtful, well-reasoned answers to questions pertaining to the meaning of the Kingdom of God.  Two older sources that contain valuable timeless truths are J. C. Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels and  H. Spurgeon’s The Gospel of the Kingdom.

Williams KINGDOM FOCUS: Ephesians 3:10-13 …to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, 11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. OBJECTIVES By the end of this session participants will be able to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

understand the wisdom of God explain God’s concept of leadership articulate the purpose for the church present the Kingdom’s strategy for cultural change determine the effects religion has on the world empower the church to complete its assignment direct kingdom leaders to their leadership

MAIN IDEAS:  The church is the answer and also the problem in society  The church’s role is to lead individuals to their leadership  The time has come to stop preaching sermons only for the hopeless  The church is God’s only strategy to change society

KEY CONCEPT:

For centuries the question of “Why does the Church exist?” has been argued quite a bit. The answers usually run the gamet of different types of social and human services. Also the Church is generally known as a place that only provides spiritual services for its members. Should the Church be involved with feeding and housing the homeless, caring for the poor and bringing salvation to the masses? Absolutely it should; but is this the essence and purpose for the institution called “Church”? I believe that the Church. as we know it in society, is clearly not the original ideal God had and therefore, we must pursue His concept. God’s concept is that the Church should develop and sustain the culture not the way it presently is. TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS    

Kingdom – A King exercising dominion over his territory Religion – Man’s search for reconnection with God Jesus – The Word, Truth and absolute Cure for the state of religion Culture – The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, such as the arts, beliefs, institutions and all other products of human work and thoughts  Church – God’s authorized agency on earth  Gifts – An impartation with power to create glory TEACHING CONTENT I.

Re-Tooling the Church

TEACHING GUIDE Consider how different our world would be if the Church functioned as God originally designed it. Imagine every person on the planet knowing their God-given gift. Then see in your mind’s eye every human being trained to use their innate talent. Now, imagine that the world’s population has been sent into the field of their gifting to serve. More importantly, now consider “yourself” being equipped and ready to teach this to every person you encounter within your circle of influence. As you prepare to further to broaden your understanding, consider these questions: What is the design for the Church? How has religion damaged the forward progress of the Church? Who are the saints? How do we prepare them for service? Is re-tooling the Church possible? LESSON DEVELOPMENT MAIN IDEAS: The Church is God’s idea The Church was designed to be a conduit for heavens plan The Church has become irrelevant The Church must be re-tooled for optimum success

TEACHING RESOURCES: Obviously, the Bible is the best resource for studying God’s idea of and for the Church. However, it would be difficult to argue that there is a more impressive, intricate and indepth look at the subject of the purpose of the Church than Dr. Myles Munroe’s series on “Rediscovering the Kingdom”. My strong suggestion is for individuals to invest in the library of Dr. Myles Munroe; collect, read, and study all his books first in order to be get a solid Kingdom foundation!

He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. NIV Dan 7:18 “But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever-yes, forever and ever”. NIV Dan 7:27 “Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him”. NIV Matt 10:7 “As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near”. NIV Matt 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come”.

Demonstrate the practical application of kingdom theology to daily Bible study, teaching and ministry.

MAIN IDEAS  The theology of the 20th and 21st Century Church is not the Principal Theology of the Bible.  The Kingdom concept is the foundation of all scripture revelation and is necessary for correct interpretation and application of scripture.  The Kingdom Concepts are the main subject throughout scripture and provide the foundation for understanding the motivation, purposes, plans, promises and actions of God.  Without the Kingdom Concept biblical understanding and theology is defective and not adequately understood. The teacher must be wary of and stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man and found within the study of eschatology, and such topics as rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like. These topics must now be reexamined against the teachings of Jesus Christ in the four Gospels, the message of the Kingdom, and one should keep the main thing, the main thing.

KEY CONCEPTS  The original purposes and plans of God were to extend His heavenly Kingdom to earth.  The colonization of earth with the Kingdom and Culture of heaven is the motivation of all of God's creative and redemptive work.  The Kingdom Concept is the foundation of all theological perspectives, positions and conclusions from Biblical scripture.  From the book of Genesis to Revelations, the Kingdom theme and Concept is the principal and primary content and context of the Bible.

Introduction

This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the original purpose and intent of God and His desire for mankind. (Proverbs 19:21). This matter deals with the original idea of God and how that idea is still the passion and commitment of the Divine Creator. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original and present will and purposes of God. Going back and understanding the original mandate and purposes of God will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical theology. It is important that the teacher show the clear focus and multiple statements and references made to "Kingdom" in scripture and explain the unique distinctions of kingdoms contrasted with other forms of national governance. Without the Kingdom Concept biblical understanding and theology is defective and not adequately understood. The teacher must be wary of and stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man and found within the study of eschatology, and such topics as rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like. These topics must now be reexamined against the teachings of Jesus Christ in the four Gospels, the message of the Kingdom, and one should keep the main thing the main thing. LESSON DEVELOPMENT Having established the fact that the Kingdom concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject and plan throughout the Bible, the teacher should underscore the fact that all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the return of His Kingdom to earth. From the narrative about Creation and the determined work of God in restoring the earth and all that He has created to its original intended position and purpose, and the creation of man and the mandate given by God to man concerning Dominion of the Kingdom, throughout the Book of Daniel where earthly kings sought to wield absolute power, and where Daniel received the message of the image crushed by the Stone (a picture of Jesus Whose Kingdom culture dominates and absorbs all other earthly systems and kings and kingdoms), and the declaration by God of His Kingdom in the life and message of Jesus throughout the gospels, where the message of Jesus was a Kingdom message, CONCLUSION The Kingdom of Heaven and of God is the main message of the Bible and must return to its place of pre-eminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise and because it is this message that is the ultimate truth and key to the return of the King Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ to earth. Matt 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come”. NIV TEACHING RESOURCES

LeMay KINGDOM FOCUS Psalm 19:7 NKJV [7] The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; Matthew 5:17-20 NKJV [17] "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. [18] For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. [19] Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Jude 1:4 NIV [4]They are Godless men, who pervert the Grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 1 Peter 2:16 NIV [16] Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Romans 6:1-2,15 NKJV [1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? [2] Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? [15] What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

OBJECTIVES

1) Understand the principle Kingdom concept of law 2) Rediscover the philosophy of Kingdom law 3) Understand and appreciate the benefit of Kingdom Law 4) Understand that the kingdom concept of law and Grace are not in opposition but work together 5) Explain the priority of Kingdom Law 6) Explain how Grace and powers us to keep Kingdom Law 7) Explain how abiding in Kingdom law empowers our influence on society 8) Explain how a civil, orderly, community or state is experienced by the presents & enforcement of Kingdom Law 9) Explain that Kingdom law protects and provides more than it restrains and restricts 10) Understand the difference between natural law, spiritual law, religious-traditionalritualistic law, civil and legislative law and God's eternal divine law 11) Understand the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law MAIN IDEA: 1) The philosophy of Kingdom law which is what Jesus taught, is timeless. Kingdom Law must be taught, understood and applied for the success of the 21st century church 2) Without understanding the value, motivation, purpose and plans of Kingdom law, the teaching of Grace is defective. 3) The teaching of Grace without law is erroneous, dangerous and harmful to the health of a kingdom community. 4) God's ultimate plan for man in the kingdom of God is that Man would obey Kingdom law by a righteous consciousness, motivated out of love as opposed to obeying the written letter of the law Out of fear. 5) The Kingdom concepts of law provide order, safety, peace and security. Ultimately leading to National prosperity and international influence KEY CONCEPTS: 1) Jesus came to enforce & fulfill the law not to destroy it 2) The principles of love and law are inseparable 3) All Kingdom citizens who desire to demonstrate their authentic love for the King will obey his decrees with joy 4) The Bible is the Constitutional book of law for the kingdom of God 5) The word of a King is law 6) The Bible is a covenantal contract between God and man which consists of promises and requirements 7) Obedience to Kingdom Law produces benefits, while as it is in any Nation, State or community, there are consequences for disobedience, rebellion and or treason that violates any understood common law which has been established to protect the unity, peace and safety. 8) God's Divine laws are unchanging

9) Teaching of freedom and liberty without Kingdom Law is irresponsible and will produce irresponsible behavior, anarchy and chaos 10) Being in right standing with Kingdom Authority produces Kingdom favor, open doors and blessing. TERMINOLOGIES AND DEFINITIONS: Kingdom= the governing influence of a king over his territory. A nation governed and ruled by King Law= a general rule, standard or understood customary practice, that is held to being binding. 2) Original, inherit principles and regulations established by the creator King both natural and supernatural, both physical and spiritual 3) Instructions and patterns of behavior given to establish a moral code that sets the standard for civil and social conduct Kingdom Concept of Law= The culmination or coming together of a Kings thoughts & Ideas, expressed in the format of moral code instructions. These instructions set the standard for civil and social conduct after the desires of the King for his citizens Letter of the law= the written text of the law The spirit of the law= the original intent, motivation and purpose of a law that reflects the desires of the initiator of that particular law Rule of Law= Implies that every citizen is subject to the authority and influence of general law established to protect a civil society Commandment= spoken and declared law Decree= established law by the King Traditions= conscious or unconscious customs and practices Righteousness= right positioning with authority, or right alignment with authority CONCLUSION: In the 21st-century church which is challenged by a society that continues to spiral grossly out of Control, the philosophy and concept of Kingdom Law must be Rediscovered, Taught effective & Implemented carefully in order to Restore Kingdom order. In a day when the Loose Living teaching Style of Grace lacks original intent and has become so grossly misunderstood, it is imperative that we take THIS MESSAGE into all the world, allow Judgment to occur in the house of God 1st and then as a restored church, model the pattern of Righteous living to a world looking for answers to their

Chaotic condition. We would then be the Prototype our King desires to use as the salt of the earth & Light of the World. This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached & then the end will come (Math 24:14)

TEACHING OUTLINE I The theology of the Bible II The theology and ideas of Jesus III Jesus Believed IV The Prophecies of Messiah and the Mission of Jesus V What Jesus the Fulfillment of Kingdom Prophecy and The Return of the King and Kingdom VI The Restoration of the Kingdom Message and the Restoration of kingdom Priority VII The Mandate of Jesus to the Apostles, and the Final assignment for the Apostles VIII The Message of Phillip, Paul, and Peter IX The foundation for Paul's Letters

TEACHING GUIDE Introduction This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the original message of Jesus and focus on all the scriptures that refer to His focus on the Kingdom. This matter deals with the original idea of Jesus Christ and how that idea was the substance and primary content of His earthly message. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that focuses of “preaching the message of Jesus Christ and not the message that Jesus Christ preached", which has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original and present will of purposes of God. Going back and understanding the original mandate, mission and message of Jesus Christ will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical theology. It is important that the teacher shows the clear focus and multiple statements and references Jesus made to "Kingdom" in scripture and explain the priority He placed on the subject. The teacher must stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man regarding such topics as eschatology, rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like and keep the main thing - the message of Jesus in the four Gospels. Introduction to the Kingdom message of the Apostles This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the Kingdom Message for the Apostles. This matter deals with the original idea of the Kingdom and how that idea was the message of the Apostles but was lost in the succeeding years of the church. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original message of the Apostles.

Going back and understanding the original message, mandate of the Apostles will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical and Apostolic theology. It is important that the teacher show the clear focus and multiple statements and references made to "Kingdom" in Apostolic writings in scripture and explain the unique distinctions of kingdom focus of the Apostles and the messages prevailing in Christendom today. The teacher must stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man regarding such topics as eschatology, rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like and keep the focus on the Message of the Apostles. LESSON DEVELOPMENT Establish the fact that the Kingdom concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of Jesus Christ throughout the Gospels. The teacher should underscore the fact that all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom of Heaven back to earth. Having established the fact that the Kingdom concept is the original, primary and consistent theme and subject of the Apostles and throughout the Bible, the teacher should underscore the fact that the all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the New Testament writers are all motivated and centered on the Kingdom of God and its return to earth. CONCLUSION The Kingdom of Heaven and of God is the main message of Jesus and must return to its place of preeminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise. It is this message that is the ultimate reason for affirmation of Jesus that “The Kingdom of heaven is here.” And it is the message of the return of the Jesus Christ Himself the Lord to earth. Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. NIV Luke 4:43"I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea. NIV The Kingdom of Heaven and of God is the main message of the Apostles and it must return to its place of preeminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise. It is this message that is the ultimate truth and key to the Kingdom Colonization of the earth, and to the return of the King Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ to earth. Acts 28:30-31- For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. 31 Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. NIV

13 Understanding Kingdom Impact on Society’s Morals & Values

By: Dr. Darrell Wilson

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR Session #13 TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM IMPACT ON SOCIETY’S MORALS & VALUES Presenter: Dr. Darrell Wilson KINGDOM FOCUS: Genesis 2: 15-17(NIV) The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Jeremiah 31:33-34 (NIV) “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV) Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Luke 2:51-52 (NIV) Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Hebrews : (NIV) Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered Romans 2:14-15 (NIV) Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them. Romans 8:6 (NIV) The mind governed by the flesh is death ,but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

OBJECTIVES: By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Define key terminologies 2. Understand and define the origin of Kingdom Values and Morals 3. Understand the need for rediscovering and recovering Kingdom Morals and Values 4. Understand and define the development process of Kingdom Values and Morals and Ethics. 5. Understand key concepts that relate to Kingdom Values and Morals in society 6. Understand and explain the need for Kingdom Values and Morals in society 7. Understand and explain how society can be impacted through Kingdom Values, Morals and Ethics 8. Understand the negative effects of Values clarification, situational ethics, and moral relativism, upon society due to a lack of teaching understanding and application of a Kingdom Values, Morals and Ethics. MAIN IDEAS: The whole of creation and society is waiting in agony and earnest anticipation for the manifestation of the sons of God. Modern Society today as a whole displays the after effects of a diabolical scheme of infiltration that caused a migration from Gods original Kingdom Concept of Morals and Values. This has led to a deviation from Gods original intent plan, purpose and pattern for Kingdom Social Norms as instituted by God to man in the Garden of Eden. This has in turn led to disintegration, digression and secularization exhibited and displayed by today's social norms that are in direct conflict and contradiction to Kingdom Values and Morals.  The present condition of our Global society is the result of man’s deviation from Gods original plan for man to colonize earth as a colony and extension of Heaven on Earth.  Man’s assignment is to impact society through the 12 World Systems on earth; Through his relationship with God as his Sovereign for the purpose of being fruitful, multiplying replenishing and exercising dominion on earth as a colony of Heaven.  God endowed man with corporate kingship, royal sovereignty and responsibilities to master, govern, rule, and manage the earth and its resources.  Christ came to reintroduce the Kingdom of God in order for man to regain his place of government and rulership on earth.

KEY CONCEPTS: 1. God’s original plan for mankind on earth is to be and live as a kingdom of kings. 2. Society by and large has been stagnated through secular social norms that have and are becoming law instead of being impacted by Kingdom Values and Morals that should be social norms. 3. Social norms should be the outgrowth of man’s dissemination of Kingdom Values,

Morals and ethics and have a lasting effect on laws that govern society. 4. The law of God is necessary for man’s development and formulation of beliefs, convictions, values and morals. 5. Gods plan for man was initially to develop but now after the fall, is to reform all levels of society through his grasp and understanding of kingdom values morals and ethics. 6. Christ's reintroduction of the Kingdom of a God enables man to be restored to his rightful place of sonship and kingship through the regeneration of the Governor-The Holy Spirit. 7. The Holy Spirit writes Gods law upon our hearts through the renewing of our minds to the conscience awareness of our right and power of rule on earth as it is in Heaven. TERMINOLOGIES AND DEFINITIONS: Kingdom - A nation governed by a sovereign king; the governing influence of a King over his territory. Society - the conglomeration of all sectors of a community consisting of established behavioral patterns, cultural values, morals, and social norms. Beliefs - the accepted formulated ideas, concepts and philosophies of the subconscious mind. Convictions - the assessed, processed and formulated conclusions of ones beliefs. Ideology - the process of believed thoughts; how one thinks. Philosophy - ones belief system. Values - are the product of ideas, beliefs, principles, and qualities on which one personally places high worth that result in standards that determine ones conduct or policy. Morals - standards of behavior based upon ones beliefs about what is right or wrong as it relates to, what is or what is not acceptable for a person to do. Ethics - a set of moral systems and systems of moral values as well as principles of conduct that govern an individual or group; a guiding philosophy. Ethos - the unwritten patterns of established motivational intents of the heart, which governs ones way of thinking and actions: the guiding beliefs and ideals that characterize an ideology of a community or a Nation. Character - the fixed position of an, individual or a group resulting from the process of the incorporation and integration of an ethical guiding philosophy based upon the morals

and values of the Constitution of the Kingdom of God the bible. Values Clarification - introduced by John Dewey (1859-1952) author of The Humanist Manifesto I, is a humanistic philosophy that teaches behavior should be the result free, uninfluenced autonomous choice, based on personal analysis of a given situation coupled with moments, emotions and desires. "If it feels good do it.” Moral Relativism - moral relativism is a philosophy that asserts there is no global, absolute moral law that applies to all people, for all time, and in all places. Instead of an objective moral law, it espouses a qualified view where morals are concerned, especially in the areas of individual moral practice where personal and situational encounters supposedly dictate the correct moral position. Summing up the relative moral philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, it does not exist.” Situation Ethics - situation ethics is the belief that right or wrong are based upon the situation rather than universal moral rules of right or wrong. TEACHING CONTENT: Society has deviated from the ideal society that was first instituted by God with man in Eden, which has resulted in: I. Man’s relationship with God and subsequent fall A. Deviant Values 1. Values Clarification 2. Situational Ethics 3. Secular Humanism II. Societal effects of man’s fall B. Moral Disdain 1. A Lack of Moral Absolutes 2. Moral relativism 3. Social Unrest 4. Corrupt Cultural influences 5. Social Norms that are becoming Law 6. Fragmented & Disintegrated Communities III. As a solution to the aforementioned we as Kingdom Citizens must: 1. Seek to understand and value Kingdom concepts and principles. 2. Understand our individual unique purpose 3. Understand the need for understanding and applying Gods law to our lives IV. Scriptures and principles to understand embrace and apply as Kingdom citizens who impact society as a result of our morals and values: 1. Genesis 2:15-17- understanding Gods original natural moral code and the results of man’s initial act of disobedience

2. Exodus 19:6 - Gods desire for re- instituting man as a Kingdom of priest and Sons in need of a savior 3. Exodus 20:2-17 & Deuteronomy 5:6-21- Gods law for reestablishing Gods Moral code for Man 4. Judges 17:6, 21:24-25 - The after effects of Israel not embracing their corporate identity of Kingship and Sonship 5. Jeremiah 31:33-34 - Prophetic promise of restoration of moral conscience 6. Luke 2:51-52 - & Hebrews 5:8 - Jesus application of obedience and trust of authority aiding in growth as a human being 7. Romans 2:12-15 - The intrinsic presence of moral principle and consciousness 8. Romans 8:1-10 - Understanding and controlling the tendencies of the carnal nature 9. Romans 12:2 - The Renewal of the mind for understanding and application of morals and values 10. Hebrews 10:16 - Acknowledgement of the fulfillment of the prophetic promise of Jeremiah 31:33-34 TEACHING GUIDE: Introduction: Read Genesis 1:26-27(KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. We are living in a time of Global Societal breakdown, due to the lack of understanding Gods original plan for man. Gods original plan for man was to occupy earth as a colony of Heaven as a Kingdom of Kings and sovereigns, born to train for rule and reign with the King of Kings and The Lord of a Lords. By so doing man was to establish all levels of community on the earth that he gave man for the purpose of expanding his family to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue and exercise dominion over creation. Man was to institute the systems of the world through which covenant community with the father could be experienced forever. LESSON DEVELOPMENT: MAIN IDEAS MAN’S BELIEF SYSTEM: CONVICTIONS, VALUES, AND MORALS

• Trust in and obedience to the word of God was to be the foundation of Adams belief system that was to formulate his beliefs, convictions, values and morals. Adams moral code of ethics. • Obedience to God was the criteria for abiding and operating in Kingdom life which was void of death. • Adam had the privilege of freely partaking of every tree in the garden while not partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil as a command from father God. • God gave Adam access to everything in the garden that God had made and said it was good, even the tree of life in the midst of the garden. • Adam chose to disobey Gods word to him, which was a violation of his moral code of ethics by displaying a lack of trust in him whom he believed, resulting in a breach of fellowship with God. COVENANTS AND MAN’S RESTORATION • After man’s fall and God restated his original covenant that he made with Adam as a covenant also with Noah. • God then made subsequent covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as part of a plan to restore man's moral (compass) and conscience and awareness that displayed God being for him and with him desiring restoration of Sonship with man;( Exodus 19:6) After man’s act of treason and violation of trust in God. THE LAW AND MORALITY • For this purpose God gave his Law to Moses as Moral imperatives for society written by the finger God. • Morals are the result of what we value as beliefs and convictions determining what’s right or wrong. • Morality is the product of Morals. • God gave the Nation of Israel the offspring of Jacob the Law of God Written by the Finger of God as the National Federal Law (10 Commandments) • The Law of God served as directives for the Law of Moses written by the hand of a man (Moses) for the governance of the State of Israel for Kingdom impact upon a society. • 10 Commandments Gods Moral Imperatives. • Moral imperatives are the foundation of morality • 10 Commandments are Gods Moral Standards memorialized • The commandments are hard and fast standards • If one can remove the commandments then one can redefine standards • Once a standard is gone the most persuasive argument prevails irrespective of its truth giving way to social norms influencing society. • Persuasive arguments based upon social norms void of truth can be utilized to rewrite establish laws. THE PROCESS OF REDISCOVERY AND RECOVERY OF CONSCIENCE MORALITY • Jeremiah's prophecy: Jeremiah 31:33-34 - "After those days, I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Verse 34, "And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man

his brother, saying, know the Lord: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more." •HEBREWS 10:16. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them," Hebrews 10:16.

CONCLUSION As Kingdom Citizens it is our responsibility to take decisive actions concerning the matter of developing our character by interrogating our belief system to the point that our values, morals and ethics reflect what our King Jesus displayed as He as a man grew in wisdom intellectually, stature physically, and in favor with a God spiritually and with man socially, forever establishing the standards for impacting society.

14 The Kingdom Concept of Taxation & Social Justice

By: Dr. Rick Kendall

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR Session #14 TOPIC: THE KINGDOM CONCEPT OF TAXATION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Presenter: Dr. Rick Kendall

KINGDOM FOCUS Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this, says the Lord, Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out (pour you out) so much blessing that you will noy have room enough for it (to contain it)

OBJECTIVES      

By the end of this session participants will be able to: Define Tithes (not from a western social view) but a Kingdom view. Understand how Kingdom economics impacts the house Define the Ecology of Economy Understand the concept of justice and righteousness Grasp the context of Covenant promises relating to a JUST life.

MAIN IDEAS  SOCIETY and WORLD VIEWS are being called the new “normal”  POLITICAL CONFUSION: “right” & “left” not RIGHT & WRONG  SOCIAL ALTERNATIVES: to reinvent definition of values such as “marriage” and “gender”  LAWLESSNESS: (laws created to make lawless more comfortable)  RELIGION: (sub-cultural & divisive)  ADD to this… economic instability (debt systems=dependency) & terrorism (gods=fear))  Jesus said; “My Kingdom is not of this world (or worlds’ system)…….” (John 18:36a)  FAITH is the CURRENCY of the KINGDOM

KEY CONCEPTS Economies are set by governments and LAWS. We tend to think of “lawlessness” as obvious criminals robbing a bank, but lawlessness as a system is man making laws that enhance or accommodate the lawless, or are laws set outside of God’s Constitutional law. Poor Economy is not lack, (resources have not left the planet) its’ poor management. Terrorism: operates on fear of what “might” happen. Once a terrorist strikes, they cease to be a terrorist, and now are simply destroyers. Is there a terrorist in your mind? The TAXES of the Kingdom (tithes) are not a “debt” but an agreement of covenant to activate the governance of the house (or management). Righteousness and Justification are adjustments and operations aligning into the blueprint and pattern of God’s Constitution. TERMINOLOGIES AND DEFINITIONS: Kingdom taxes House (Household) Righteousness

-

Justice

-

Ecology

-

defined as “tithes” a covenant of partnership with God the management (economy) of Kingdom life. “oikonomia” management, administration, dispensation: =economy alignment to the principle and example set by God’s Constitution is set as the result of righteousness making Kingdom citizens, the justified. the science of interconnection and how it works together affecting the whole.

II.

God is speaking to the face of Israel but talking through them to the world. (v.7) You have gone away from My ordinances (appointed statutes) Their question: “Wherein shall we return?” (how do we get back RIGHT?) God answers with a question: “Will a man rob God?” Their question shows how far away from His commonwealth they had gone; “How have we robbed You?” God’s answer: In tithes and offerings (taxes AND trust) Why does God speak first to TITHE in response to returning to JUSTICE? Because economic instability was the first transgression. The 1st Adam went in DEBT for one tree when he could’ve had all the other trees DEBT FREE. This turned dominion to subjection, stewardship and possession into ownership and a reverse called debt cultivating a complex yoke of bondage.

Only a Kingdom can destroy the YOKE of another kingdom

The government of world systems is set in debt to the paying for the past cultivating a. STRESS: in marriages, relationships, DISEASE: from over burdening b. Physically: The earth becomes corrupted, the mud of man's flesh decays. c. Materially: Man overworks the earth instead letting it rest. Nations go to war over ownership of real estate. d. Mentally: Man begins to name and call things he’s subjected to instead of having dominion over. e. Financially: Debts not forgiven. Usury, greed, oppression arises f. Most can agree we’ve been made FREE from the bondage of sin… but the current ECOLOGY of our ECONOMY jerks us around back into CONFORMITY of elements. g. Definition of a YOKE: to effect thoroughly and be directed fully by what one is paired to. h. A yoke is defined in the ecology of three parts: 1. The Beam: on the shoulders… represents (GOVERNMENT/ AUTHORITY/ RULE) 2. The Brace: Around the neck… represents MINDSET/ PERCEPTION/ SUBJECTION 3. The Brass (ring): In the middle to pull load or direct: represents DIRECTION/ PROCESS/ PERFORMANCE i. But NOTE: Isaiah 10: 27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his BURDEN shall be taken away from off thy SHOULDER, and his YOKE from off thy NECK and the YOKE shall be DESTROYED because of the ANOINTING. III.

The Kingdom Concept of TAXES a. Kingdom Taxes are not a DEBT, but an activation of COVENANT and CITIZENSHIP b. Malachi calls it the MEAT (or substance) and Offerings (to offer & promote) c. Restoration of stewardship (possession) bringing access d. Malachi 3:10 PROVE ME NOW and see if I will OPEN YOU to be my windows. 1. Pour you out a blessing that there is not room enough to contain it. 2. Rebuke the devourer and he shall not destroy the FRUIT of your ground 3. Vine shall not cast forth her fruit before the time. 4. All nations shall call you blessed. e. NOTE: the ecology of process: Restoration of blueprint: impacting the economy of resources, ground, and dominion

IV.

Bring the TITHES into the STOREHOUSE= depository, processing center, treasury a. In My HOUSE or Household (Gr. Oikonomia) (management, order, governance)

b. Ephesians 2:19 We’re fellow citizens with the saints and the HOUSEHOLD of God c. This is a citizenship cultivated in the household of the King & His Kingdom. d. Matthew 6:33 SEEK first the Kingdom (government) and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (governance) and all these things (resources) shall be added unto you. e. Righteousness: principle and pattern that prospers (progresses) according to the precepts of God’s Constitution. Proverbs 11:28-30, Proverbs 12:7, Proverbs 28:1 f. Kingdom righteousness brings His social justice. (justification and alignment to the original blueprint) Hebrews 10:38: Now the JUST shall LIVE (walk) by FAITH. V.

FAITH is the CURRENCY of the Kingdom set in absolute Promise & Purpose a. Hebrews 11:1 (is not a religious statement, but a legal governmental definition of covenant terms. FAITH is Substance & Evidence= good report) b. FAITH is a reference point, an anniversary, the King’s VISION c. FAITH is THE CELEBRATION of ANNIVERSARIES you have not YET HAD, but GOD has CALLED DONE! Conclusion: The Nations shall call those BLESSED who operate from the STOREHOUSE that opens like a timed released VAULT full of ideas, innovations and wealth.

TEACHING GUIDE INTRODUCTION: We live in a time the world refers to as the “new normal”, where the false definitions of “social justice” are best characterized as lawlessness. We as ambassadors of God’s Kingdom, carry unmovable principles and all of creation is waiting on us to manifest the justice of God’s Kingdom into the planet. LESSON DEVELOPMENT: Some basic fundamentals: 1. A storehouse is more than just a warehouse (for storage). It is a processing center. 2. There is an ecology to the cultivation of a society and it is an economic ecology. 3. Dependency on world systems has developed a yoke of bondage. MAIN QUESTIONS: 1. The question must be asked; “Why did God answer the question of man’s lost state with the question; “Will a man rob God?” a. What was the focal point of man’s transgression? b. How does God destroy the yoke of bondage in society? c. Why is FAITH the currency of the Kingdom? MAIN IDEAS:

1. The KEY to the need for Kingdom TAXES is in the fact that man robbed God. a. Man was so far removed he didn’t even know how he robbed God. b. Man became debt minded, reverse mentality, paying for his past. c. Tithes (or produce) activated an original principle of stewardship. 2. Only the government of a Kingdom can destroy the yoke of another kingdom a. A yoke is the pairing of two as one with the lead of a government. b. A yoke has three parts: The BEAM, the BRACE, and the BRASS ring. c. Kingdom WEALTH is not paying for PAST but INVESTING in ABSOLUTE PROMISE. Releasing Debt Cancellation (in mindset first) 3. The STOREHOUSE of God is a processing center of social justice, a. Partnering the covenant of MEAT (substance) b. Opening you as windows of grain. (seed of resources, ideas, vision) C. Impacting the ground, production and NATIONS! CONCLUSION: We are presenting Kingdom culture into all the world by activation of His principles. TEACHING RESOURCES:  Historical data concerning economies and the results of banking, mortgages, and capitalism.  Research commodities such as gold, silver, precious stones, stocks, real estate, and other indicators impacting world economies.  Books such as Dr Myles Munroe’s Leadership and Kingdom resource materials.  Bible  Power point slides for east reading, handouts of case histories within the current social context, data charts to show community impact, take-home assessment document.

15 Understanding The Kingdom Concept of Power to Influence

By: Dr. R. Pepe Ramnath

KINGDOM TRAINING SEMINAR Session #15 TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM CONCEPT OF POWER TO INFLUENCE SUBTITLE: “THE ENVIRONMENTAL ECOLOGY OF A PEARL" Presenter: Dr. R. Pepe Ramnath KINGDOM FOCUS: The development and formation of a pearl is the perfect example and concept of power and influence found in a kingdom. When a pearl oyster is injured, or when it is attacked by a parasite, it immediately begin to form a ‘pearl sac’ to contain the wound. It is in this process inside the containment of the pearl sac that many layers of nacre begin to form, Each layer are carefully and uniquely made upon each season the pearl endures, until a completely beautiful pearl is form. The careful forces and ecology of each environment produces a priceless pearl full of power and influence. The power of the pearl causes a merchant in Jesus story to sell all his possession just to purchase this powerful pearl. The merchant realizes that the one who possess the pearl has all the influence for dominion and rulership. The power and influence of a pearl formed in years of adversity qualifies it to use its power. In this session we will journey into the environmental conditions, ecology and engineering of the pearl to extract the concepts and mysteries of the Kingdom it conceals for our finding. Scriptures: Matthew 13:45-46 (NIV) 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. 1 Corinthians 4:20 (KJV) 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Acts 1:8 (ASV) 8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

OBJECTIVES By the end of this session participants will be able to: 1. Define and understand the Kingdom concept of power and influence from the life of the pearl. 2. The engineering and chemistry of the Pearl contains concepts that would show us how to influence our communities and drastically change our society to look just like heaven on earth. 3. The Internal structure of a natural and cultured pearl. 4. The structure of the Pearl: Natural pearls possess a concentric structure consisting of a macroscopically small nucleus, surrounded by layers of calcium carbonate. Each layer represents one season of growth. 5. We will learn how David became a King and of parasitic experiences he had when a bear, lion and several betrayals entered into his life. Chemicals that etched in human brain. 6. The number one goal of the entire Old Testament was simply to bring the presence of the LORD to the children of Israel through internal principles that will later on guarantee their external dominion. 7. The complete growth and development of a natural pearl guarantees internal Power for External Dominion (Influence). 8. Oyster cleans up polluted environments in the process of making pearls, making it pure. The Kingdom of Heaven is an environmental spot on this polluted planet that is filtering away the pollutants of the earth for the purpose of eventually covering the earth like the waters covers the sea. 9. A pearl needs an irritation to begin its growth. I wonder if God placed Satan in the middle of the shelled oyster of the garden to grow the pearl of his Kingdom. 10. The unique lustre of pearls depends upon the reflection and refraction of light from the translucent layers of the nacre. The iridescence that some pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive layers, thus breaking up the light falling on, and reflecting from the surface. 11. The grain of sand remains as the nucleus of the Pearl and is never removed. Paul asked God to remove the thorn in his flesh. But it is this thorn, this irritating sand grain or parasite that helps to make the pearl as valuable as it can get.

12. When a mollusk is invaded by a parasite or is irritated by a foreign object (nucleus) that the animal cannot eject, a process known as encystation entombs the offending entity in successive, concentric layers of nacre. As a response to an irritating object inside its shell, the mollusk will deposit layers of calcium carbonate held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre or mother-of-pearl. 13. Pearl oysters are protandric hemaphrodites which means that most are first male, then female. The male phase usually occurs during the first 2 to 3 years of life, with the change to the female phase in later years. God made Adam first and then Eve came out of Adam after a while. Eve was always in Adam until it was her time to come out. MAIN IDEAS  When a mollusk is invaded by a parasite or is irritated by a foreign object (nucleus) that the animal cannot eject, a process known as encystation entombs the offending entity in successive, concentric layers of nacre.  As a response to an irritating object inside its shell, the mollusk will deposit layers of calcium carbonate held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre or mother-of-pearl.  Everybody knows how oysters make pearls — where a sand grain or grit slips through the protective barrier of their outer shell, irritating the mollusk’s body, and the invertebrate encircles the invader with shell material. As it turns out, ammonoids — the extinct, coil-shelled cousins of modern squid and nautilus — made pearls, too, but they did so to stave off the onslaught of prehistoric parasites.  Pearl oysters feed on small algae found in the water column. The gills in bivalves are large and tiny hair-like cilia on the gills are used to remove small particles from the water. While the pearl is developing in our lives the environment is also being cleaned.  The Oyster has all of the construction potential for making a pearl. KEY CONCEPTS: CULTURED PEARLS Cultured pearls are real, genuine pearls that are formed inside a living oyster with human intervention. When a nucleus is surgically implanted in the oyster's flesh, the oyster recognises it as an irritant and begins to coat it with smooth layers of nacre. Over time, the growing pearl gets completely covered with the beautiful iridescent substance we call nacre, or mother-of-pearl. All pearls sold today are cultured pearls, with the exception of vintage estate jewelry and heirloom pieces that are more than 80 years old. NATURAL PEARLS Natural pearls, on the other hand, are formed naturally by free-range "wild" oysters living at sea without any encouragement from humans. When a natural irritant such as a fragment of shell, a scale or a parasite becomes lodged inside an oyster or mollusk, it gets coated with layer upon layer of nacre. Contrary to popular belief, grains of sand do not

form pearls. If sand were enough of an irritant, our ocean floors would be littered with millions of natural pearls! Natural pearls are actually very rare, mostly because pearlproducing species of mollusks were nearly hunted to extinction with most natural beds of pearl-bearing oysters depleted by over-harvesting in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, natural pearls are extremely rare. Only 1 in about 10,000 wild oysters will yield a pearl and of those, only a small percentage achieve the size, shape and colour desirable to the jewellery industry. TERMINOLOGIES AND DEFINITIONS: 1. A pearl is a hard, rounded object produced by certain mollusks, such as oysters. 2. Nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is a naturally-occurring organic/inorganic composite, that is a combination of crystalline and organic substances that form the iridescent inner lining of the shell. 3. Conchiolin and perlucin are complex proteins which are secreted by a mollusk's outer epithelium (or the mantle) to form chambers. 4. Ecology - the air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors surrounding and affecting a given organism at any time. It is the social and cultural forces that shape the life of a person or a population. 5. Aragonite is a common carbonate mineral. It is unfortunately often thought of as the poor cousin to calcite. But aragonite is an interesting and attractive mineral in its own right. It forms interesting habits and can have a soft pretty color. Its modes of formation and relationship to calcite are both curious and intriguing. 6. Hypothesis is an educated guess based upon observation. It is a rational explanation of a single event or phenomenon based upon what is observed, but which has not been proved. 7. Theory: A theory is what one or more hypotheses become once they have been verified and accepted to be true. 8. A scientific law can often be reduced to a mathematical statement, such as E = mc²; it's a specific statement based on empirical data, and its truth is generally confined to a certain set of conditions. For example, in the case of E = mc², c refers to the speed of light in a vacuum. 9. Semantology: Basic Methods for Knowledge Representations 10. Luster: The unique lustre of pearls depends upon the reflection and refraction of light from the translucent layers of the nacre. 11. Iridescence is the property of certain surfaces that appear to change colour as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes. Examples of iridescence include soap bubbles, butterfly wings and sea shells, as well as certain minerals.

Subjects of Science 1. Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, either unicellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, mycology, parasitology, and bacteriology. 2. Astronomy - the gaseous envelope surrounding a heavenly body. 3. Chemistry - any gaseous envelope or medium.

4. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology has many sub-disciplines unified by five so-called axioms of modern biology: II.Cells are the basic unit of life III.Genes are the basic unit of heredity. IV.New species and inherited traits are the product of evolution V.An organism regulates its internal environment to maintain a stable and constant condition 5. Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. Chemistry is chiefly concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms - for example, the properties of the chemical bonds formed between atoms to create chemical compounds. 6. Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals. Specific studies within mineralogy include the processes of mineral origin and formation, classification of minerals, their geographical distribution, as well as their utilization. 7. Ecology is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment, such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their abiotic environment. 8. Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge" is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning, "science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist. TEACHING CONTENT 1. A natural pearl form when an irritant, such as a fragment of shell becomes lodged inside the mollusk when it is feeding, or a parasite drills through the shell. 2. To protect itself, the mollusk forms a sac around the particular or any irritant or invader that managers to get caught up inside its body. 3. This sac secretes nacre to cover the irritant and, over time, the growing pearls are completely covered with the beautiful iridescent substance we call nacre, or motherof-pearl. 4. The nacre and sac materials are made by the mollusk's mantle and the layer of tissue cells that surround the body of the mollusk and line the shell. 5. The mantle tissue cells that make up the pearl sac are called epithelial cells. 6. Avoid: Situations, which will scratch or damage the pearl's nacre. 7. Dehydration by storing your pearls in air-tight/moisture free environments. 8. Subjecting pearls to excessive heat and/or strong sunlight. 9. Exposing pearls to acids such as vinegar or cleaning agents containing ammonia or chlorine, bleaching agents or inks. TEACHING GUIDE (The purpose of this section is to provide guidance to participants who will utilize this information for teaching purposes).

Introduction: The answer to all of humanity’s ill is found in on the inside of man. The environment that God placed us in is full of information that will guide un into revealing the hidden treasure in us. The secrets to the Kingdom are all around us. We have to carefully look, listen and wait for the whispers of God through his creation. Job 12:7-10 (NIV) “7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; 8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. 9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? 10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” We are called to have dominion over the earth for the purpose of sustaining and maintaining the ecological environment that God gave us the earth at the beginning in the Garden of Eden. MAIN IDEAS The same cells that secrete the Nacre for making the pearl is the same cells that make the shells of the Mollusk. It makes the shell but cannot make a pearl without an irritation or discomfort. The Kingdom within us cannot be made manifest without a challenge, an irritation or discomfort. The kingdom within us is made manifest when the incubator of life challenges the infinite power of God’s Kingdom inside of us producing the most beautiful pearl ever.  Community relationship keys. A pearl (The Kingdom of God) is a reaction to an irritant (Testing & trial) within a mollusk (The Kingdom of Heaven).  Foundation relationship stones. The answers to humanity’s cry are found in the frequency of creation and it's a science to extract it. Our communities, society and nations can be transformed if we continuous dedicate ourselves into the laboratory of life for answers.  Corporate effects of community actions. Pearl oysters feed on small algae found in the water column. The gills in bivalves are large and tiny hair-like cilia on the gills are used to remove small particles from the water. Both adults and larvae feed on algae and other small organisms. Clear tropical waters contain limited amounts of algae. Therefore, a large amount of water must be filtered daily in order for the pearl oyster to obtain sufficient food.

TEACHING GUIDE Introduction This subject could be introduced by explaining the priority of the original message: Kingdom GOVERNMENT of Transformation of society with kingdom influence (Genesis 1:26.) and how this is the foundation of all the scriptures that refer to his focus on the Kingdom. This matter deals with the original idea of God and how that idea was the substance and primary content of the entire Bible's message. The church today has developed and perpetrated its own theology that focuses on leaving earth rather than colonizing earth with the Culture of Heaven, which has produced a belief system that goes contrary to the original and present will of purposes of God which is the transformation of society with kingdom GOVERNMENT influence. Going back and understanding the original mandate, mission and message of God for mankind will correct the misconceptions we have embraced for over 1500 years and put us back on track with true Biblical theology. It is important that the teacher show the clear focus and multiple statements and references in the Old and New Testament pointing to Kingdom GOVERNMENT Transformation of society with kingdom influence in earth as the priority subject of scripture.

The teacher must stay away from the theological traps invented and developed by man regarding such topics as eschatology, rapture, concepts of Tribulation, and the like and keep the main focus - the Transformation of society with kingdom GOVERNMENT influence of earth by the Kingdom of Heaven. LESSON DEVELOPMENT Having established the fact that the Kingdom Transformation of society with kingdom GOVERNMENT influence and Colonization concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of the Bible throughout the Gospels, the teacher should underscore the fact that the all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom GOVERNMENT of Heaven back to earth to Colonize earth with heaven. Transformation of society with kingdom GOVERNMENT influence. John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. NIV 10 PILLARS OF KINGDOM NATIONAL IMPACT These 10 Pillars are to be presented as ten Spheres into which Government and Authority are exercised and these Spheres are all to be transformed by Kingdom Principles. 1. POLITICAL - Government 2. ECONOMIC- Money 3. BUSINESS - Commerce 4. JUDICIAL - Law 5. HEALTH – Quality of Life 6. EDUCATION- Training 7. ARTS – Entertainment 8. RECREATION – Sport 9. MEDIA – Mental Influence 10.SOCIAL - Relationships Having established the fact that the Kingdom Dominion and Colonization concept is the original, primary and consistent theme, subject of the Bible throughout the Gospels, the teacher should underscore the fact that all the plans, purposes, programs and redemptive works of God through the Old Testament and New Testament are all motivated and centered on the sending of His son Jesus Christ who would bring the Kingdom of Heaven back to earth to Colonize earth with heaven. CONCLUSION The colonization of earth by the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Transformation of society with kingdom GOVERNMENT influence is the main message of the Bible and expressed by Jesus Christ and this message must return to its place of preeminence in the Theology of the 21st Century Church without compromise, because it is this message that is the answer to the Prayer of Jesus for transformational change on the earth, and it is the ultimate reason for the return of the Jesus Christ Himself, the Lord to earth.
