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.
Through a series of engaging discussions, Cherry Campbell unveils the rich blessings that come with entering the Kingdom of God. Listeners are taken on a journey through scriptures in Matthew and Luke, illustrating how Jesus combined healing with His teachings. The episode also explores testimonies of power displays that surpass any form of darkness, ultimately pointing to the superior power in God's kingdom.
00:00:00 Introduction to Blessings 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 nine in that class called Blessings Available in the Kingdom of God. So join me now for the continuation of this lesson. Lesson number nine called Blessings Available in the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God, or you inherit the kingdom. So when you get born again, and you enter into the kingdom of God, you inherit all the kingdom of God, and you don't have to be poor anymore. Hallelujah. Amen. Because we're blessed. Amen. Well, let's look at another blessing. Another blessing that comes from the kingdom of God is healing. Healing. Now let's look at Matthew chapter 4. Go to Matthew chapter 4. Matthew chapter 4 and verse 23. It says, Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. How many diseases and sicknesses? How many? A few? Every. Every disease. Everybody say, every. Every. Yes, amen. Healing every disease and sickness among the people. But what was he preaching? He was preaching the good news or the gospel of the kingdom. So when he preached the gospel of the kingdom, what did he do? He healed every disease and sickness. So healing every disease and sickness went with the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom. Amen. Let's look at it again. Matthew chapter 9. Chapter 9, verse 35.
SPEAKER 1 :
935.
SPEAKER 01 :
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing how many? every disease and sickness. It said it again. Said it again here in Matthew chapter 9. He preached the good news or the gospel of the kingdom and healed every disease and sickness. Again, we see that the healing of diseases and sicknesses go right along with, hand in hand, with the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Now let's go to Luke. Go to Luke chapter 9. Luke chapter 9. And here in Luke chapter 9, Jesus is speaking to his disciples. Chapter 9, let's start in verse 1. Verses 1 and 2. When Jesus had called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. And actually back in Matthew 10, it refers to the same passage and it says every disease and sickness. But we see that Jesus gave the disciples authority to cure every disease. The word every is in Matthew's Gospel, chapter 10, verse 2. And he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Jesus sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Jesus preached and healed and he told them to go preach and heal. But what did they preach? The same thing Jesus preached. Jesus preached the kingdom of God and he told the disciples, you go preach the kingdom of God and you heal the sick. So the healing of the sick is part of preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. Amen. Now the same chapter in Luke 9, look at verse 11. Verse 11, but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God and he healed those who needed healing. He spoke about the kingdom of God and he healed. He spoke about the kingdom of God and he healed. What should you and I be doing when we preach the gospel? We should be preaching the gospel not only of salvation, not only the cross and the resurrection, but the gospel of the kingdom of God. God coming to earth. God's kingdom coming to earth. God's law. God's order. God's system. God's ways and methods. God's language, God's currency, all of it coming to earth. That's what we preach. And when we do that, we also heal those who need healing. Hallelujah. Amen. And also in Luke chapter 10. Luke chapter 10, verse 9. Now, actually in verse 1, Luke 10, 1. After this, the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. So he sent them out. And what did he tell them to do in verse 9? Heal the sick who are there and tell them the kingdom of God is near you. In other words, preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. And heal the sick. God's words to us today are the same. He never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He tells us to go preach. Don't preach religion. Don't preach your denomination. Don't preach your doctrinal preferences. But preach the kingdom of God. And with it, heal all the sick. Hallelujah. Amen. And why is healing part of the kingdom of God? Because of 1 Peter 2, verse 24. 1 Peter 2, verse 24. By his wounds, you have been healed. By his wounds, you have been healed. You see, it was his wounds that he received on the cross, before he went to the cross, by the beatings of the Romans. when he was being beaten and scourged, and also when he hung on the cross and they pierced his hands and his feet and his side. Those wounds purchased our healing. His death purchased our forgiveness of sin, but his woundings purchased our healing. And that's why it's part of the gospel. Healing is part of the gospel of the kingdom of God. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Well, let's go on and let's look at another blessing. Another blessing in the kingdom is power. Power. You know, so many people in the world today are looking for power. That's the main reason why people get into witchcraft, because they're looking for power. And a lot of times, I mean, I've heard many testimonies, you probably have too, of people who used to be in witchcraft. They may have even been very, very powerful in it. Like one of the high-ranking witches in a certain area. And they confronted the power of God and found the power of God was greater and stronger than their power. And in many cases, that has caused them to get born again. They found that the power of Satan that they were working by was not as great as the power of God. I remember hearing a testimony of this from a friend of mine from one of the island nations where I had been visiting. And this pastor said to me, you know, Cherry, how the gospel reached here and got established here? There was witchcraft being practiced here many, many years ago in this nation. And we had strong witches that were over villages. And one time, there were a couple missionaries that came. They came by boat years ago. And as they came and approached the island, the witch could see them coming. Now, I don't know if he was talking about the witch could see them coming physically. Maybe he was on a high mountain or a high place where he could see out on the sea and see them coming physically. Or maybe he saw it in the spirit as he was practicing his witchcraft. Either way, he saw them coming. But when he saw them coming, he saw on them the power of God. And he saw that their power was greater than his. And so that when they arrived, he immediately welcomed them. And he received them because he could see that their power was greater than his. I don't know any more of the story. I don't know if they demonstrated the power of God. But they were coming in the power of the Holy Spirit. I've heard other testimonies. I've heard in another nation about one of the great powerful witches of the whole area, the whole region. was so strong, and he was putting curses on people. And he confronted the power of God as the Christians. I heard one pastor led his church to go pray outside of this witch's home and to bind the spirits of darkness and to pray that this man would repent. He had to repent. And they commanded him to repent in the name of Jesus. and I don't know how long, a very short time, maybe hours or a few days, that witch's power had left him completely. It was gone. He was very, very powerful. He did so many powerful things through the power of Satan, but it was gone. He found himself like an ordinary man with no supernatural power whatsoever. And there was nothing left for him to do but to go to the church of that pastor that had prayed for him and get saved. Praise the Lord. So 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. 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.

Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I'm Cherry Campbell. This morning we are going to continue and conclude studying lesson number eight that I taught in a class called The Kingdom of God. And in this lesson we are studying where is the kingdom of God, God has given us the kingdom, and qualifications to enter and be promoted in the kingdom of God. And if you'd like to listen to this lesson or any other lesson that we've taught in this class so far, or share them with your friends and family, which I encourage you to do because this is a very vital subject for every Christian to know and understand. And yet most Christians don't know it. And so I encourage you go to my YouTube channel, which is under my name, Cherry Campbell. C-H-E-R-R-I, Campbell, C-A-M-P-B-E-L-L. And there in the top category called radio broadcasts, you will see this series called The Kingdom of God. Now join me in our live class as we continue and conclude lesson number eight. You will also finish that you will not get weary in well-doing. Not getting weary in well-doing. And we know, even in ministry, so many ministers get weary. And we've heard of many that have left the ministry because of getting weary of well-doing. Don't get weary in well-doing, but receive the strength and the anointing and the power of God renewing you every day. Day by day, your strength can be renewed. Your vision can be renewed. If you've lost your vision, you pray until you get it back again. Pray and seek God's face. I mean, don't do anything. Get on your face before God and seek him with all your heart until you get that vision back again. Get the vision. And then you run after that vision with the anointing of God and you finish it. I remember Paul wrote about, I'm pressing for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. And he said the prize of the high calling. And as I've meditated on that, I thought, you know, there is a high calling. then there's a lower calling. And I believe that probably few people reach their high calling because somewhere along the way they may either drop out, get tired, get weary, or just never qualify for the highest calling that God called them to. And we have to continue to qualify throughout our life and ministry for the next level of anointing and authority and glory and power and blessing. We have to continually qualify for the next level. But we each have a high calling that God has prepared for us. And we must continue to run our race. And as it is written in Hebrews 12, throw off the weights and the sins that so easily beset you, that hold you back and weigh you down. If there are things in your life, that's in Hebrews 12, verse 1. Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. And let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. He started it and he wants to finish it. God is a finisher. God is a finisher. And we've got to finish the race that he's called us to do. So if there's things in your life, if there's bondages, if there's sin, if there's just extra burdens of life and cares of life, I want you to know something. God did not ever tell you to do something that was going to be a burden for you. Some people talk about, oh, the burden that we carry is so heavy. Well, then you're not doing it right. You're not doing it right. What did Jesus say? He said, my yoke is easy and my burden is light. He said, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. So what he's saying is that if you're carrying a heavy burden, it's not from him. You think, well, God called me to do this. This is in Matthew 11. Matthew 11, 28 and 29 and 30. Matthew 11, 28, 29 and 30. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you, what, a greater burden? I will load more burden on you. Just come over here. Let me lay another one on you. No rest. So many people, even preachers. And I was recently talking to a preacher in Africa. And I mean, he said this changed his life. He was literally transformed by these words. He said he's always had the mentality that ministry is a burden. And it's heavy. You know, well, I'm just in the ministry. I'm carrying a heavy load. And I said, that's not from God. That's not from God. God does not put a heavy burden on you. And he doesn't say, come over here. Come down here. Let me lay this burden on you. And you think that one's heavy here. Let me lay another one. It's a little heavier for you. No. And so God is not laying heavy burdens on us. He said, I will give you rest. And if you haven't learned how to rest, you haven't learned how to walk with God. Because walking with God is rest. Resting in Him. And verse 29, He says, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart. You will find rest for your souls. He says, For my yoke is easy. It's not hard. My burden is light. It's not heavy. So if you think that the yoke of the Lord is hard and heavy, you're doing it wrong. And it's not the one from God. It's from probably the devil. Or else it's just your own. You know, if you're doing it right, you're walking with God, life can be easy and ministry can be easy. You can be free from burdens. Go home at night and throw the care away and have fun with your family. I told this one pastor, I said, you need to learn how to have joy because the joy of the Lord is your strength. The joy of the Lord is your strength. And I found this. The Lord showed me this one time. I was in a place where... I was in the mission field. I was in a place that was very difficult and I lost my joy. And actually the people I was with at that time were very, very difficult to be with and I felt like there were a lot of demonic strongholds there and I was really battling a spiritual battle the whole time I was there. I was in a spiritual warfare while I was there the whole time. And the people I was with... But I determined that I was going to walk in love. So I walked in love and I spoke kindly to each person every day continually. But by the time I left there, I was worn out. I was beat up. And I actually left and I was weak in my body and I got sick. And I was sick for several days. And the Lord spoke this to my heart. And he said to me, I didn't hear it with my ears, with the audible voice. I heard it inside in my heart. But the Lord said to me, he said, Sherry, you passed the test because you kept the love walk. You walked in love and you will be honored and promoted for that. You'll go to the next level. You've passed this test. But you would have come out strong if you had kept your joy. What had happened was it was so hard, I determined to walk in love, but I had lost all my joy. And if you know me, I usually walk in joy. I keep the joy of the Lord. I've learned that I have to. But at that time, I lost it. I lost the joy and therefore I lost my strength and I became weak and I even became subject to sickness. And the Lord said, you passed the test because you kept your love, but you would have come out of there strong if you had kept your joy. So I remembered that. In other times that I've been in hard places, I've said, Lord, help me keep my joy here. I need the joy of the Lord in this place too. But as I kept the joy, I kept the strength. Now, how do you keep joy? By praising the Lord. A thankful heart is a joyful heart. And as soon as you become depressed, it's because you're unthankful and you stop praising God for who he is and what he's done for you already. A depressed person is an unthankful person. So you've got to begin praising the Lord from your heart and thanking Him for what He has already done. Not thanking Him for the trouble and the problem. Thanking Him for the victory. Thanking Him for the deliverance and the provision. Thanking Him for what victories you've already seen. what healing or provision he's done for you in the past, but then faith is thanking God today for what you believe you will receive in the future. Amen. That's faith. Faith is thankful for what you believe God is doing for you. So you begin to thank God and get your joy back and then say, Lord, I'm casting this care on you. I'm walking with you and your yoke is easy and your burden is light. And you have to learn that you are not carrying a heavy burden if you're carrying the yoke and burden of the Lord. Because God's yoke is easy and His burden is light. And you need to throw off the heavy burden, casting all your cares on the Lord, for He cares for you. And take up His yoke and His burden, which is light and easy. And you rest in Him and you trust in Him. And you walk in the joy of the Lord. So here we see that we are finishing the race. What we started to talk about is not giving up, not quitting, but finishing. And this requires diligence and faithfulness. Diligence and faithfulness to finish the race that you've been called to do. And each thing, each assignment you finish qualifies you for a promotion to the next level. God will give you one assignment after another, after another, after another. Each assignment you finish. will promote you to the next level. Just like when you're in school, when you finish grade two, you are promoted to grade three. When you finish three, you promote to grade four. When you finish four, you promote to grade five. You've got to finish where you are, finish the race, pass the test, and you'll be promoted. This is how you get promoted in the kingdom of God. And promotion in the kingdom of God brings to you greater authority, greater anointing, greater glory, greater blessing, greater benefits in the kingdom of God. So what are some of the qualifications? You must have obedience. You must have faith. Simple, childlike faith. You must have humility. You must be diligent. You must be faithful. These are just some of the requirements, but these are some very key requirements to promotion in the kingdom of God so that you can climb the ladder, as they say in the world, but you can climb the ladder in the kingdom of God and be promoted with greater anointing, greater authority, greater power and dominion, greater blessing, greater rewards, greater glory in the kingdom of God, greater honor. And these are the things that we do to be promoted in the kingdom of God. Amen? Amen. Well, let's just stop right there. And you can do that by going to our website at victoriousfaith.co.

Listeners are guided through a journey that reveals the keys to accessing the Kingdom of Heaven, including laws and ways that open the door to divine treasures and insights. Through Jesus's teachings and biblical examples, we are offered strategies to enter and thrive in the Kingdom, unlocking the boundless potential that God's realm holds for each of us.
Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I'm Cherry Campbell. This morning, we are going to continue lesson number eight in a class that I taught called the Kingdom of God. And this lesson number eight is called, Where is the Kingdom of God? God has given us the kingdom and qualifications to enter and be promoted in the Kingdom of God. So join me now in our live class as we continue this lesson, lesson number eight. Revelation 1, verse 6. He has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father. Now, in the NIV and in other modern translations, it might say he has made us a kingdom. Now, I've actually looked that up just in my own little computer program where you can look up in the Strong's in the Greek and the Hebrew. And as I researched it, every time in the New Testament the word king or kingdom is used, the word king is one Greek word and the word kingdom is another different Greek word. And they were always the same word every time it was translated, except here. And it is actually the same Greek word that everywhere else in the New Testament is translated king. So king is more correct than kingdom. And I believe that is important because God did not make us a kingdom because if we are a kingdom, that almost is like we're the subjects. There's a big difference. It would make us more like the subjects of the kingdom. But we're not the subjects. The truth and the literal translation is he has made us to be kings and priests so that we are rulers, not subjects in this kingdom. And it's a very important difference there. So if your Bible says kingdom, I would recommend you write there in the margin at least the word kings as it says in the King James, God has made us to be kings and priests because a king has authority. And the same thing is also found again in Revelation 5, verse 10. Chapter 5, verse 10. And it says, And it has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. Now again, the modern translations will often say kingdom. Again, it's the Greek word for king. not kingdom. And so I would suggest that you write in the margin of your Bible the word kings, not kingdom. Because a kingdom would make us subjects, but we are kings, which gives us authority to rule. Amen. And so both of these verses say that we are kings. Well, how can you be a king if you don't have a kingdom? How can you say, here is King John? Where is John a king? Oh, nowhere. Well, then how can he be a king? It's not possible. If his name is King John or King James or King George or whatever, say, well, this is King James. Where's his kingdom? Oh, he doesn't have one. It just doesn't make sense. It cannot be. So if you are a king, then you have to have a kingdom. And so we're just simply establishing again that we have a kingdom that we are ruling over as kings. Amen? Amen. Amen. Now go to Matthew 16. Matthew 16, verse 19. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Jesus said, I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Well, what do keys represent? Well, you can make a note of this if you want to, and actually, you'll have to for the test. Keys represent access. If you've got the key, you've got access. Keys represent entrance. Entrance means you have the right and authority and power and ability to enter in. Keys represent ownership. If you've got the key, you can drive it away. Keys represent rights. You've got the right to receive and partake of everything that is in it. Keys represent control. You can lock it or unlock it. You've got the control over it. Keys represent authority or having authorization, being authorized. Whoever has the key to the office or the church has authority or authorization to go in. Keys represent power. You've got the key, you've got the power. And keys also represent freedom. It means if you're on the inside, you can get out. And if the door is locked, you're not trapped inside. And a lot of people are trapped in bondages. They're locked inside of their own prison of different kinds, bondages of life. But if you get the key, you can get out and be free. So key brings freedom. So let me just read that list again. Keys represent access, entrance, ownership, rights, control, authority or authorization, power, and freedom. Now what are these keys? The keys of the kingdom are the laws of the kingdom and the ways and methods and procedures of the kingdom and the principles of the kingdom of God. So that when God teaches us his laws and his ways, we then have full access to everything he has. So I'll say that again. The keys are the laws and the ways of God. So that when God teaches us by the Holy Spirit, His laws and His ways. Then we have full access to receive everything that is in the kingdom of God. But we've got to know the laws and the ways. Those are the keys. And the people on the outside of this kingdom don't know the laws and the ways. They don't have the key. That's why they cannot enter in and receive what the kingdom of God has. But we do. We've been given it by God. Through the Holy Spirit. Amen. Now look at Luke chapter 8. Luke chapter 8 and verse 10. He said, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to others I speak in parables, so that though seeing, they may not see. Though hearing, they may not understand. So he said the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God. What are the secrets? The secrets are the keys. The secrets are the keys that we read about in Matthew 16, 19. And these keys are the laws and ways of God. Also, the secrets of the kingdom of God are also the blessings and benefits and treasures, the riches and wealth, the glory, the power. that is in the kingdom of God. People on the outside of this kingdom, people who are in the kingdom of the world, do not know how great are the riches and wealth, how great is the glory, how great is the power that is in the kingdom of God. It's a secret. It's a secret. So only once you get in can you begin to see what is there. Amen. When you get in, you begin to see what is there, and God begins giving it to us. But he hides it from the wicked. Amen. So he has given us the secrets, and he has given us the keys. Amen. Praise the Lord. So how do we enter in? And how can we be promoted in the kingdom of God? Remember, we talked about this a little bit. Go back to John chapter 3. John chapter 3. And we read about Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night. And in John 3 verse 3. John 3, 3. In reply, Jesus declared, I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Now we talked about the word see meaning also to understand and comprehend. But here I want to also go back to the more traditional meaning to be able to go in, enter in, to see it. You cannot go in and enter in and see the kingdom of God unless you are born again. And verse 5, verse 5, Jesus answered, I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Now, being born of water is not talking about water baptism. There are churches that believe in sprinkling babies and that the sprinkling of the baby saves them by water. That's not what it's talking about. Salvation is by faith and a baby doesn't have faith. Salvation is by choice. It's freedom of choice. Everybody has a free will. And the baby is not choosing to be sprinkled by water. That is why that sprinkling is not salvation. What is this water speaking of? It is the water of the womb. It is the water of the flesh. It is being born of the flesh and the spirit. And it is confirmed when you continue reading in verse 6. The very next verse says, For flesh gives birth to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit. Why did he have to say that? Because he's talking about both a physical birth and a spiritual birth. You've got to be born in the natural. You've got to have a physical body to be saved. Amen. That shows us that demons cannot be saved and angels cannot be saved. Now angels have been given a position in heaven, but they don't have salvation like we do. So in order to be born again, you've got to be born in the flesh. Now, it seems kind of ridiculous to say, but Jesus is saying that in order to distinguish people from other spiritual beings, such as angels and demons. But then, not only must he be born in the flesh, he must also be born again in the spirit. That is the spiritual rebirth. The spirit man on the inside being recreated by God. And so we see that is the explanation then given in verse 6. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit. So we must be born again to enter in. But then once we enter in, we even talked about from the very beginning that the kingdom of God is so much greater than the kingdom of the world. But when you enter in the kingdom of God and you're born in the kingdom of God, You are born as a baby. If you are a CEO in the world of some great corporation, you don't transfer that status into the kingdom of God and come in the kingdom as some great chief officer.

Good morning. Praise the Lord. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I'm Cherry Campbell. This morning we are going to begin studying lesson number eight that I taught in a class called The Kingdom of God. And in this lesson, lesson number eight... We are going to study where is the kingdom of God. God has given us the kingdom and qualifications to enter and be promoted in the kingdom of God. So join me now in our live class for the beginning of lesson number eight. Where is the kingdom of God? Now, we're continuing. We've just been talking about the kingdom of God is a kingdom of righteousness and justice and that everything God does is right. But the wicked cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Now, I want us to look at something else now. Where is the kingdom of God? Now, of course, we know it's everywhere. It's in the earth and it's in heaven and on earth. But I want us to look at some scriptures. Mark chapter 1, and this is a revelation that can really make you free. When we see this, our lives can change. Mark chapter 1, verse 14 and 15. After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. The time has come, he said, the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news. Now this is the beginning of his ministry, and he says the kingdom of God is near. Now go to Luke 11. Luke 11, verse 20. It says in verse 20, but if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. So we see here the kingdom of God has come. It is here now. Like we said earlier, you don't have to wait. Till the future day or to get to heaven to receive your healing or your riches or your victory. The kingdom of God has already come. Now look at Luke chapter 17. Luke chapter 17. And let's look at verses 20 and 21. Stop there for a minute. Nor will people say, here it is or there it is. Now, sometimes people are asking, If you want to, hold your finger there and go to Romans chapter 10. Romans chapter 10. Romans chapter 10, verse 6 through 8. Verse 6. But the righteousness that is by faith says, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven? That is, to bring Christ down. Or who will descend into the deep? That is, to bring Christ up from the dead. Now, what is Christ? The word Christ means the anointed one. The anointed one. But it also refers to the anointing that he is anointed with. So it is the power of God on the anointed one, Jesus Christ. So it's talking about the power in this part especially. Who will ascend into heaven to bring Christ down? And let's say to bring the power down. Or who will descend into the deep? That is to bring Christ up or to bring the power up. But what does it say? The word is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart that is the word of faith we are proclaiming. Now here he says that it is the word, the word is in you, in your heart and in your mouth. So he's saying don't ask where are we going to get the power for our deliverance or anything, your healing, your finances, your provision. Who's going to go up to get it? Or who's going to go down to get it and bring it to us? He says it's near you. It's in your mouth and in your heart. Now we connect that back to Luke 17. Jesus said, nor will people say, here it is or there it is. In other words, where am I going to get the money? Am I going to get it? Can I get it from the bank? Maybe I should get a second job. Maybe my parents can give it to me. Maybe the church will give it to me. Maybe the government will give it to me. Where can we get the money that we need? Where? And people are doing this all the time. All the time. When you need something, people are all the time looking around, where are they going to get it from? And so many times overseas, they see a person from America, and their first thought is, maybe I can get my money from them. And so I run into this so many times, is that in other countries of the world, people want to get to know me because they think they can get money. And that's wrong. And Jesus said, don't do it. Don't do it. So if you're in an African country or in an Asian country or one of the islands or in South America or Europe or America, and you need something, don't be looking to other people. Maybe they'll give it to me. Maybe I can get it from them. Jesus said, don't do it. Because we already talked about, where is our source? Our source is God. And Jesus said, so people who are looking, where can I get this money that I need? Well, needing for what? Maybe your school fees for your children. Maybe for your house. Maybe for your car. Maybe just for food. What did Jesus say again? Let's look again in Luke 17 and verse 21. Nor will people say, here it is or there it is. Maybe I can get money from my aunt, from my uncle, from my church. Because the kingdom of God is within you. Don't say, here it is or there it is or where is it? Where am I going to get it? How am I going to get it? Jesus is saying the kingdom of God is within you. Now, what we've been talking about, Jesus said, let's connect these verses together. Jesus said in Matthew 6, 33, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these, what? Things will be given to you as well. So that means that in the kingdom of God, all the things that you need are available. The kingdom of God has everything you need. The kingdom of God has everything that you need. But where is the kingdom of God? Within us. Within you and within me. The kingdom of God is within us. What does that mean? Everything that you and I need is already in us. What I'm saying is, the car you need is inside of you. The house that you need is inside of you. The church you need is inside of you. The job you need is inside of you. The money you need, it's right there inside of you. Let's go back to the beginning. Remember, we're saying that to operate in the kingdom of God is to operate the way God operates. How does God do what he does? How did God create light? Let's go back to the very beginning. Before God created the heavens and the earth, where were the heavens and the earth? They were inside of God. Everything that was created was inside God. And what did he do? He spoke words and what was inside of him came out and was created. So that his, in everything that you see, the earth, the universe, the heavens and the earth, all that exists today was at one time inside God. And God spoke it and he brought it out of himself. And so out of him came the heavens and the earth. Out of him came the plants. Out of God came the animals. Out of God came man. But when God created man, he said, now I'm making man in my image so that you're going to be just like me. And the kingdom is in you just the way it is in me. And whatever you want is in you. And you bring it out of you the way I brought what I wanted out of me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So if we act the way God acts, we'll get the results that God gets. That means everything you need, the money you need, the healing you need, the job, the house, the car, whatever it is that you need, And that you want. You're created in the image of God. And you're created with the kingdom of God. When you're born again, the kingdom of God is born into you. And now you've got the power of God. You've got the life of God. You've got the light of God. You've got the anointing of God. All dwelling on the inside of you. You are a carrier of the kingdom of God. And all that the kingdom has to offer. Amen. So when we're created in His image, this goes back again to the law of words, that then we, like God, can speak and bring out of ourselves those things that we need. So, never again, I mean, it's a temptation that is common to everybody. You have a need and think, well, maybe I can go get some money over here. But we need to retrain ourselves because that's the kingdom of the world. The kingdom of the world is looking around for other people and other things to give them what they need and want. But in the kingdom of God, we've got to think differently. That everything we need and want is already in us. God is in us. God himself. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And his spirit lives in us. And Jesus said, the kingdom, the entire kingdom of God is within us. So that's why what I'm saying is we have got to retrain ourselves in the kingdom of God way of thinking and living and talking. That when we have a need, we don't look out there somewhere. But we begin to put the word in our heart and build that word in our heart and the faith in our heart. And then we can speak it out with power and say, in Jesus' name, I call for my money to come. I call for my house to come. I call for my car to come or whatever it is, my healing. And it is produced by the living power of God that dwells within us. What you just heard was the beginning of lesson number eight that I taught in a class called the kingdom of God. And in this lesson, number eight, we are studying where is the kingdom of God. God has given us the kingdom and qualifications to enter and be promoted 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.
