00:00:00 Introduction to Blessings Available in the Kingdom of God
Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherry Campbell. This morning I’m going to continue sharing with you the lesson I’ve been sharing with you all this week that I taught in a class called the Kingdom of God. And this is lesson number nine in that class called Blessings Available in the Kingdom of God. So join me now for the continuation of lesson number nine, Blessings Available in the Kingdom of God. Power is available to us in the kingdom of God. It is great power. And we’ve already said it is superior to the power of the kingdom of darkness. Let’s look at a few scriptures. Go to Mark chapter 9. Go to Mark chapter 9. In Mark 9, look at verse 1. Verse 1. And he said to them, I tell you the truth. Some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power. The kingdom of God come with power. Now, I don’t want to talk about the prophetic side of this scripture. All I want to mention is that the kingdom of God comes with power. If we are operating in the kingdom of God, we should be operating in the power of God. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Now, go to Acts chapter 1. The book of Acts, chapter 1. In Acts chapter 1, verse 8, it says, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. You will receive power. By the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes on you. And the Holy Spirit comes on you. When you’re baptized in the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Acts chapter 4. Acts chapter 4. Acts chapter 4 verse 33. It says, With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. So you see, after they had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which was in Acts chapter 2, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, then afterward they went out and began operating in signs, wonders, and miracles. Great power. Power that manifested in signs, wonders, and miracles. We’re not talking about a power of words only. But we’re talking about a power of demonstration in signs and wonders and miracles. Amen. And we see that in 1 Corinthians 4. Go to 1 Corinthians 4. You see, they were not only powerful in their words, but they were powerful in deeds, in works, in signs, wonders, and miracles. Amen. 1 Corinthians 4, look at verse 20. It says, For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. Is not a matter of talk, but of power. Let’s go back to chapter 2, 1 Corinthians 2, verse 4. It says, my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words. Not that anything’s wrong with wise words. Wise words are important, but not alone. He says, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. So we see that the kingdom of God is not only supposed to be in powerful words, but with the demonstration of the Spirit’s power in signs, wonders, and miracles. And as we read in chapter 4, verse 20, the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, or we can say not only talk, but of power. Amen. Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians chapter 4. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 7. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. It’s from God and it’s in the kingdom of God. It’s from God and it’s available in the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. And go to Ephesians chapter 1. Ephesians chapter 1. Starting in verse 18. 1.18 says, I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope To which he has called you. The riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints. And his incomparably great power for us who believe. Who is the power for? The power is for us. And where is it? It’s in our inheritance in the kingdom of God. power that is for us the same powers it goes on that power is like the working of his mighty strength which he exerted in christ when he raised him from the dead as he did amid his right hand in the heavenly realms that same power that raised christ from the dead is for us who believe hallelujah praise the lord amen look at ephesians chapter 6 verse 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. We receive power from God in the kingdom of God. It is ours. It is one of our blessings. It is one of our rights and our privileges. It is part of our inheritance. We need to take hold of it and lay claim to this power by faith. Glory to God. Amen. Amen. What is another blessing that we have in the kingdom of God? Protection. Protection. Let’s go back to Psalms. Go back to the book of Psalms. Psalms 27. Psalms 27. First of all, verse 3. Psalms 27, verse 3. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear. Though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. And verse 5, for in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe in his dwelling. Where? In his dwelling. Where is his dwelling? In the kingdom of God. Amen. He will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Where? In the kingdom of God. So in the kingdom of God, in his dwelling, in his tabernacle, he will keep me safe in the day of trouble. That’s not after you get to heaven because in heaven there is no trouble. You’ll never have a day of trouble in heaven. Where do we have days of trouble? On earth. on earth. And it says, in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe. Praise the Lord. So when we are dwelling in his presence in the kingdom of God, we have a promise of being kept safe in any kind of trouble. Amen. Now, you can go to Psalm 91. Actually, we’re not going to take time right now to read Psalm 91 because it’s the whole psalm. It’s about protection. It says, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High. As we said before, the secret place of the Most High or the shelter of the Most High is in the kingdom of God. And in His kingdom, we receive His blessings, His blessing of protection. His secret place is in the kingdom of God. And if you dwell in His secret place in the kingdom of God, you can rest in the shadow of the Almighty. And you go down and continue reading. And it says in verse 3, He saves you from the fowler’s snare, from the deadly pestilence. Verse 5, the terror of night, the arrow that flies by day. Verse 6, the pestilence that stalks in the darkness and the plague that destroys at midday. And on and on down this whole chapter, it’s about protection. But it’s protection for those who dwell in the Lord. Verse 9, if you make the most high… your dwelling, you dwell in the Most High, you dwell in Him, you live, abide every day in Him, in the kingdom of God, verse 10, then no harm will befall you. No harm will befall you. And you say, but Cherry, there’s people all the time, Christians, who are dying in accidents. That’s because they are not receiving by faith the blessings of God. None of these blessings are automatic. Nothing is. Just like you’re not saved automatically. How do you get born again? You have to believe and receive the Lord Jesus. Every single blessing and promise that is available in the kingdom of God, it’s available to all who will come and receive it by faith. But if you don’t believe it, you’re not going to receive it. You know, there are Christians that say, well, I don’t believe in healing. then they’re not going to be able to receive healing. There are people who say, well, I don’t believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Well, then they cannot receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We have to receive everything by faith. Amen. Amen. So these are the promises of God. And it says no harm will befall you. If you believe his word, you can believe that no harm will befall you in the kingdom of God. That’s one of your blessings. It’s part of your inheritance. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Now look at Psalm 121. Psalm 121. And again, it’s the whole chapter, so I’m not going to read the whole thing. But it says in verse 7, The Lord will keep you from all harm. When you dwell in the Lord, when you abide in Him, in faith you receive from Him His blessings. When you by faith receive his blessings, then he will keep you from all harm. Now look at Isaiah 54, verse 17. This is the last scripture on protection. Isaiah 54, verse 17. It says, No weapon… formed against you shall prosper, the King James says, or the NIV says, shall prevail. No weapon formed or raised up against you will prevail. And you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage, the heritage, the heritage, the inheritance of the servants of the Lord. And this is their vindication from me, says the Lord. So the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, the inheritance and the kingdom of God is that no weapon that is formed against you shall ever be able to prevail against you. And any tongue that rises against you to condemn you, it will be condemned and refuted. Hallelujah. What you just heard was the continuation of lesson number nine that I taught in a class called the kingdom of God. And this lesson number nine is called blessings available in the kingdom of God. And we will continue this lesson again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
