Welcome to victorious faith.
00:00:23 Cherri Campbell
I'm cherry.
00:00:24 Cherri Campbell
This morning I'm going to continue sharing with you the lesson that I've been sharing with you all this week that I taught in a class some years ago on the subject. The Kingdom of God.
00:00:35 Cherri Campbell
You could also call it understanding.
00:00:37 Cherri Campbell
The Kingdom of God, what it is and how it all operates.
00:00:41 Cherri Campbell
And this is message 4 in a series of messages that I've been sharing with you for the last few weeks.
00:00:47 Cherri Campbell
And if you'd like to hear these messages again, or share them with your friends and family, you can go to my YouTube channel, which is under my name, Cherry Campbell. CHERRI Campbell CAMPBEL.
00:01:00 Cherri Campbell
Well, and they're in the top category called Radio broadcasts.
00:01:03 Cherri Campbell
Will see this series called the Kingdom of.
00:01:06 Cherri Campbell
Now join me in our live class for the continuation of Message 4 called 2 Kingdoms 2 Systems.
00:01:15 Cherri Campbell
When you read about Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven, it's talking about the same thing.
00:01:20 Cherri Campbell
It's not always necessarily just talking about heaven.
00:01:24 Cherri Campbell
So the Kingdom of Darkness has another name.
00:01:29 Cherri Campbell
Also called the Kingdom of this world.
00:01:33 Cherri Campbell
And also in Ephesians Chapter 2 verse 2 it says the ruler of the Kingdom of the air.
00:01:40 Cherri Campbell
So it's also called the Kingdom of the air.
00:01:44 Cherri Campbell
Now the problem is these are two kingdoms. They are two.
00:01:51 Cherri Campbell
Systems of operating.
00:01:54 Cherri Campbell
Two ways of doing things.
00:01:57 Cherri Campbell
Two different worldviews, two different ways of thinking, ways of talking and ways of doing.
00:02:05 Cherri Campbell
The problem is that when most Christians are born again, they are born into the Kingdom of God.
00:02:14 Cherri Campbell
But they continue to think, talk and act the same way as the Kingdom of the world.
00:02:20 Cherri Campbell
So that's why they're not very successful because now they are citizens.
00:02:26 Cherri Campbell
New Kingdom the Kingdom of.
00:02:29 Cherri Campbell
But they're still living under the mindset and the laws of the Kingdom of the world, and you cannot.
00:02:36 Cherri Campbell
It doesn't.
00:02:37 Cherri Campbell
You can't be in one Kingdom living.
00:02:39 Cherri Campbell
The laws of a different Kingdom.
00:02:41 Cherri Campbell
And that's why so many Christians are not successful.
00:02:45 Cherri Campbell
And so I wanted to look at something.
00:02:47 Cherri Campbell
At Luke 16.
00:02:50 Cherri Campbell
Luke 16.
00:02:52 Cherri Campbell
You see, when people are born again, they have not. Most of the time learned to operate in a new Kingdom with new methods.
00:03:03 Cherri Campbell
In Luke 16, we see a parable that Jesus told about a manager of a rich man.
00:03:12 Cherri Campbell
He was the manager of the rich Man's.
00:03:15 Cherri Campbell
Finances.
00:03:18 Cherri Campbell
Money.
00:03:20 Cherri Campbell
And the rich man discovered that the manager was wrongfully using his money in his possession.
00:03:29 Cherri Campbell
He said you cannot be manager any longer.
00:03:32 Cherri Campbell
And then the manager went to.
00:03:37 Cherri Campbell
The debtors, the people that owed money to his master.
00:03:43 Cherri Campbell
And he reduced all of their debt.
00:03:47 Cherri Campbell
In order to make friends.
00:03:49 Cherri Campbell
But what's very interesting and what he seemed strange to many people when they've read this is verse 8.
00:03:57 Cherri Campbell
And let me read it from.
00:03:58 Cherri Campbell
The King James translation.
00:04:02 Cherri Campbell
The Lord commanded, or even praised.
00:04:06 Cherri Campbell
The unjust manager.
00:04:09 Cherri Campbell
Because he had done wisely.
00:04:12 Cherri Campbell
For the children of this world are in their generation, wiser than the children of light, and that seems like a very strange verse.
00:04:23 Cherri Campbell
Why would Jesus say that the children of the?
00:04:26 Cherri Campbell
Are wiser.
00:04:27 Cherri Campbell
Well, what he is saying is that the people of this world Kingdom are more skillful.
00:04:37 Cherri Campbell
And expert in using their system.
00:04:41 Cherri Campbell
Than the.
00:04:42 Cherri Campbell
Of God are at using the system of God.
00:04:48 Cherri Campbell
In other words, they know their system better than we know our system.
00:04:53 Cherri Campbell
And they're more profitable in their system than we are profitable in our system.
00:05:00 Cherri Campbell
So that it even looks like our system doesn't work as well.
00:05:05 Cherri Campbell
But it.
00:05:06 Cherri Campbell
It's just that we don't know how to work it.
00:05:09 Cherri Campbell
And that's the.
00:05:10 Cherri Campbell
And that's what Jesus is talking.
00:05:11 Cherri Campbell
We don't know the church, the people of God, don't know God system as well as the people of the world know their system.
00:05:20 Cherri Campbell
Why? They look like they're more successful.
00:05:25 Cherri Campbell
And that's what he's talking about.
00:05:28 Cherri Campbell
So we need to change that. We need to become more knowledgeable about the ways of God.
00:05:35 Cherri Campbell
And So what we need to understand is that when we are born again, that is when Jesus Christ comes into your heart and you give your life to him.
00:05:44 Cherri Campbell
And say, forgive me of my sins, I surrender myself to you, be my God and my Lord.
00:05:51 Cherri Campbell
And I will serve you and obey you.
00:05:54 Cherri Campbell
Then we receive what the Bible calls new birth, and we are born again in the spirit, the Spirit Man on the inside is born over new.
00:06:06 Cherri Campbell
And we are recreated on the inside and now we are transferred from the Kingdom of the world into the Kingdom of God.
00:06:12 Cherri Campbell
These are invisible kingdoms, and we'll talk about that in just a minute.
00:06:16 Cherri Campbell
Are spiritual.
00:06:17 Cherri Campbell
They are not physical, so it's not like going from the Philippines to America.
00:06:23 Cherri Campbell
These are spiritual kingdoms and it's being transferred from the Kingdom of the world into the Kingdom of God.
00:06:25
Replay.
00:06:30 Cherri Campbell
What we need to understand is that you may be very successful in the world.
00:06:36 Cherri Campbell
You may be a CEO, Chief Executive, officer of a big corporation.
00:06:41 Cherri Campbell
Mean you're at the top.
00:06:44 Cherri Campbell
In this world system, but when you are born again, you are transferred into the Kingdom of God and in the Kingdom of God you.
00:06:52 Cherri Campbell
Not at the top.
00:06:53 Cherri Campbell
You don't carry over your status and become CEO.
00:06:59 Cherri Campbell
In the Kingdom of God also, no, you start at the very bottom. Everybody starts at the bottom. As a baby we are born.
00:07:07 Cherri Campbell
Were born into the Kingdom.
00:07:11 Cherri Campbell
Were not just transferred, were born, and therefore when you're born, you start as a baby and you've got to grow up. And so you may be in the world.
00:07:19 Cherri Campbell
CEO. But in the Kingdom of God, you're a brand new baby.
00:07:24 Cherri Campbell
And so.
00:07:25 Cherri Campbell
What we need to understand is that.
00:07:29 Cherri Campbell
This transfer does not automatically mean you're going to be a success as soon as you enter this Kingdom.
00:07:38 Cherri Campbell
And I'm going to be comparing these two kingdoms in these two systems for the next few hours I believe and wanting us to see the difference in what they are, where they come from, how they operate, because we need to see the difference. So that we begin to.
00:07:55 Cherri Campbell
The new system, the Kingdom of God.
00:07:58 Cherri Campbell
And I want us to see it like this. As I mentioned before.
00:08:04 Cherri Campbell
Every nation, every culture has a system and a way of doing things.
00:08:08 Cherri Campbell
And as I go into different countries, when I was in Africa or Asia or in the Pacific islands, when I go in there, I'd have to learn their ways.
00:08:18 Cherri Campbell
Their ways of doing things and every place they go, it's different. When somebody comes to America, they have to learn the ways here.
00:08:26 Cherri Campbell
New ways. A new way of even taking the bus as a matter of fact, in my home place, there are some refugees.
00:08:33 Cherri Campbell
That have been brought from a refugee camp from 1 Nation in Asia.
00:08:38 Cherri Campbell
And I've become friends with some of these refugees.
00:08:42 Cherri Campbell
They were.
00:08:43 Cherri Campbell
Over to America by a US agency that was bringing refugees in to America and.
00:08:53 Cherri Campbell
They're coming in every day by the thousands all across America, all across America and even right here. There are many refugees coming in.
00:09:02 Cherri Campbell
And so these people, when they come to America, I met this one man and he said.
00:09:09 Cherri Campbell
The enhanced nation.
00:09:11 Cherri Campbell
He was a successful school teacher.
00:09:14 Cherri Campbell
And he had a good reputation, a good, honorable job as a school teacher.
00:09:21 Cherri Campbell
But when he came to America, he doesn't qualify to be a school teacher.
00:09:29 Cherri Campbell
His qualifications from his nation don't qualify him here.
00:09:34 Cherri Campbell
And as he looked and looked for a job, I mean, some of these have been friends of mine.
00:09:38 Cherri Campbell
Have to even learn how to.
00:09:39 Cherri Campbell
The bus.
00:09:40 Cherri Campbell
Well, I know.
00:09:41 Cherri Campbell
I understand that 'cause when I go to another country, it'll be hard for me to take the bus.
00:09:47 Cherri Campbell
I mean, it's hard to figure out how to get on and off and where.
00:09:51 Cherri Campbell
Sometimes you just jump on as it's flying past.
00:09:54 Cherri Campbell
And you jump off.
00:09:56 Cherri Campbell
Try not to get run over so.
00:10:00 Cherri Campbell
You know, I understand that.
00:10:01 Cherri Campbell
And so even some of these friends, you know, they need help to get the bus or get to the grocery store and buy groceries. And so the system here, they have to learn it.
00:10:10 Cherri Campbell
And as he looked for a job, he was having a hard time and he couldn't get one. As a school teacher, he ended up getting a job working in a gas station.
00:10:20 Cherri Campbell
A fuel station.
00:10:21 Cherri Campbell
And I actually made friends from another country that have come to America, and that's where they're working.
00:10:27 Cherri Campbell
They're working in the corner store at the gas station.
00:10:31 Cherri Campbell
It's the best job they can find for their qualifications.
00:10:35 Cherri Campbell
What does that?
00:10:36 Cherri Campbell
They come into the system at the bottom.
00:10:40 Cherri Campbell
Now, does that mean that America is not as good as their country?
00:10:46 Cherri Campbell
Does that mean that it's a less system or that it's more poor?
00:10:53 Cherri Campbell
No, it just simply means that they need to learn a different system and when you transfer systems you need two things. You need education and training.
00:11:08 Cherri Campbell
And when these people come, if this man who was a school teacher would get education and training, he could be a school teacher here.
00:11:18 Cherri Campbell
What I want you to see is.
00:11:20 Cherri Campbell
But I'm getting ahead of myself, but I want to point this out that the Kingdom of God is superior.
00:11:27 Cherri Campbell
It is a greater Kingdom to the Kingdom of this world.
00:11:33 Cherri Campbell
Just like America is a greater system than the nation that this man that I was talking about that these refugees had come from, they had come from a country that had very little opportunity.
00:11:48 Cherri Campbell
And they were living in a refugee camp.
00:11:50 Cherri Campbell
Mean they were living in check house.
00:11:52 Cherri Campbell
And so there are opportunities and potential was very limited where they were. But in America the opportunities are great. The possibilities are great, the potential.
00:12:07 Cherri Campbell
Of success and prosperity is far greater here than it was where they came from. But just because they come in and get a job at the gas station doesn't mean this is a bad system.
00:12:23 Cherri Campbell
Or not as good or not as successful. It just means that they're at the bottom and they need two things.
00:12:30 Cherri Campbell
Need education?
00:12:31 Cherri Campbell
And they made training.
00:12:35 Cherri Campbell
Now I know of Christians who have said to me, Jerry before I was born again, I always had money.
00:12:42 Cherri Campbell
I mean, I would just drink and I.
00:12:44 Cherri Campbell
Party, but there was.
00:12:45 Cherri Campbell
Always money at hand. When I got born again.
00:12:50 Cherri Campbell
The money disappeared.
00:12:52 Cherri Campbell
Well, that does happen sometimes, and that's one reason why so many Christians think that the Kingdom of God is poor.
00:13:01 Cherri Campbell
And if you're going to serve God, you're going to be poor.
00:13:04 Cherri Campbell
But it's a lie of the devil.
00:13:06 Cherri Campbell
What you just heard was the continuation of a lesson that I taught in a class some years ago on the subject. The Kingdom of God.
00:13:13 Cherri Campbell
Or you.
00:13:14 Cherri Campbell

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to defend the Word of God on our campuses and promote Pro-American capitalism. This nation was founded on freedom, and all of us, not just students, need to stand up for the truth.
The post Life And Bible: Being A Christian While Being On Campus – 2B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, that had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Yeah, I suppose he would. I would say that if someone is able to bring fire down from heaven and to do miracles in the sight of men, he’s going to deceive a few people. People are going to believe in and be impressed by what he does.
Now, this one that comes along, this one that has the horns like a lamb and speaks like a dragon is one who, well the Lamb of God is Christ, the dragon is the devil. So we’ve got one who, what shall we say, looks Christian but speaks devilish—one who appears to be a minister of righteousness but in fact is actually working out the devil’s agenda? A sobering thought, isn’t it?
And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred three score and six.
Now, we’ve got a fascinating study ahead of us! This is the famous mark of the beast. You may have heard of it somewhere down the line. What is this mark of the beast? and how does it work?

We believe you will be blessed, encouraged and receive fresh faith to begin your day as you listen to today's message with international missionary and Bible teacher Cherry Campbell.
00:00:18
I.
00:00:21 Cherri Campbell
Good.
00:00:22 Cherri Campbell
Welcome to victorious faith.
00:00:24 Cherri Campbell
Cherry Campbell.
00:00:25 Cherri Campbell
This morning I'm going to continue sharing with you the message I began sharing with you yesterday in a series we've been studying for the last few weeks called the Kingdom of God. Or you could even call it.
00:00:36 Cherri Campbell
Understanding the Kingdom.
00:00:38 Cherri Campbell
God, what it is and how it operates.
00:00:41 Cherri Campbell
However, this message and the messages that I'm going to be sharing with you in the days to come are from a class that I taught some years ago on this subject.
00:00:51 Cherri Campbell
Kingdom of God, so join me now in our live class for Part 4 of this series called 2 Kingdom Kingdom.
00:00:59 Cherri Campbell
Two systems.
00:01:02 Cherri Campbell
And we mentioned that the Gospel of the Kingdom is not just preaching salvation. It is not just preaching the cross and the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
00:01:12 Cherri Campbell
And yet, that's not the whole Kingdom of God message.
00:01:15 Cherri Campbell
Not the whole gospel.
00:01:17 Cherri Campbell
Because the whole gospel means everything that is in heaven needs to be brought together.
00:01:23 Cherri Campbell
The Earth needs to become a colony of heaven, which is a reproduction of heaven that the same things in heaven will be done on Earth, and that is the whole gospel.
00:01:34 Cherri Campbell
That means that the prosperity of heaven will become the same prosperity on Earth.
00:01:39 Cherri Campbell
The health and life that's in heaven will be the health and life that we live in on.
00:01:43 Cherri Campbell
Earth. That all the strength, all the anointing, all the power. All the victory that is in heaven can be our strength. And an anointing in our power and our victory on the Earth. We can live in the same thing here and now as is in heaven. Because Jesus.
00:01:58 Cherri Campbell
Came to bring heaven to earth. The Kingdom of God.
00:02:01 Cherri Campbell
Onto the earth and you want to question me? But Jesus himself said it right here in Matthew 6.
00:02:06 Cherri Campbell
Isn't Cherry speaking?
00:02:08
Yeah.
00:02:08 Cherri Campbell
This is the word of God.
00:02:09 Cherri Campbell
Is what Jesus?
00:02:10 Cherri Campbell
Jesus said Matthew 610. What we read your Kingdom come and you.
00:02:15 Cherri Campbell
Be done on.
00:02:16 Cherri Campbell
Just like it is in heaven, just the same as it is in heaven.
00:02:20 Cherri Campbell
What's in?
00:02:21 Cherri Campbell
Let it be.
00:02:21 Cherri Campbell
The same here on the earth. Hallelujah. Amen.
00:02:25 Cherri Campbell
And you know in Deuteronomy 11.
00:02:28 Cherri Campbell
I think it's 21 or 22. Deuteronomy 11.
00:02:33 Cherri Campbell
Moses is giving the law and he says if you obey all my commands, God said the commands that I give you today that you will have days of heaven on Earth.
00:02:43 Cherri Campbell
Deuteronomy 11/21 and the King James version. It says that you may have days of heaven on the earth.
00:02:50 Cherri Campbell
Now some translation says as many days.
00:02:53 Cherri Campbell
Of heaven on.
00:02:55 Cherri Campbell
So there you can see either a quantity of days.
00:02:59 Cherri Campbell
As many days or the way it says in the King James.
00:03:03 Cherri Campbell
Days of heaven.
00:03:04 Cherri Campbell
A.
00:03:05 Cherri Campbell
I believe it's both. The quality of days of heaven on Earth and the quantity of days of heaven on earth that means long.
00:03:12 Cherri Campbell
Of heaven on earth.
00:03:13 Cherri Campbell
Was God's.
00:03:14 Cherri Campbell
Just simply that was.
00:03:17 Cherri Campbell
His blessing and his promise, just simply for obeying.
00:03:21 Cherri Campbell
He.
00:03:21 Cherri Campbell
If you obey my commands, this is what you'll have and this.
00:03:24 Cherri Campbell
Under the Old Testament.
00:03:26 Cherri Campbell
Is not even.
00:03:27 Cherri Campbell
After Jesus went to the.
00:03:29 Cherri Campbell
It was before Jesus went to the cross.
00:03:32 Cherri Campbell
Even under the old covenant laws.
00:03:35 Cherri Campbell
God had a promise that they.
00:03:37 Cherri Campbell
Have heaven on earth.
00:03:39 Cherri Campbell
How much more do we have it in the new covenant in the New Testament now that Jesus has died on the cross to save us of our sins and to redeem us from the curse and to bring the Kingdom of God to earth?
00:03:52 Cherri Campbell
Amen. Praise God.
00:03:55 Cherri Campbell
Praise God. And then we also saw that Jesus came not to first set up a physical Kingdom, but a spirit.
00:04:04 Cherri Campbell
Kingdom and we said that the disciples and all of Israel were looking for their deliverer.
00:04:11 Cherri Campbell
Had.
00:04:12 Cherri Campbell
Many prophets had prophesied.
00:04:15
A deliverer.
00:04:16 Cherri Campbell
Will come.
00:04:17 Cherri Campbell
Who will deliver you?
00:04:19 Cherri Campbell
And they were under Roman oppression and Roman *******.
00:04:22 Cherri Campbell
Was very heavy oppression.
00:04:25 Cherri Campbell
And they were looking for their.
00:04:27 Cherri Campbell
And every Sabbath day they would read the.
00:04:30 Cherri Campbell
About the deliverer.
00:04:31 Cherri Campbell
And they.
00:04:32 Cherri Campbell
Looking for him and Jesus came and said the Kingdom of God has come to you.
00:04:38 Cherri Campbell
And So what are the disciples all thinking? Oh, excited.
00:04:41 Cherri Campbell
Yeah, he's going to come and set.
00:04:43 Cherri Campbell
The Kingdom.
00:04:44 Cherri Campbell
Here in a throne, and we're going to put him on the throne and he's going to overthrow the Romans and drive.
00:04:49 Cherri Campbell
Romans out.
00:04:50 Cherri Campbell
Here and.
00:04:52 Cherri Campbell
They were very surprised on the night that Jesus was arrested and they were in the garden of Gethsemane and the soldiers came and arrested Jesus and Peter drew his sword.
00:05:03 Cherri Campbell
He is ready to fight.
00:05:04 Cherri Campbell
He is ready to take over.
00:05:06 Cherri Campbell
He is ready to defeat the Romans.
00:05:07 Cherri Campbell
Is ready to rise up.
00:05:10 Cherri Campbell
And ready to forcefully put Jesus on a throne.
00:05:14 Cherri Campbell
And Jesus turned him and said put away your sword.
00:05:18 Cherri Campbell
We're not going to do that right now.
00:05:21 Cherri Campbell
They were ready to.
00:05:22 Cherri Campbell
They were not ready to surrender and that's why they fled into the night when they all promised that they would never leave him. They were ready to never leave him unto death, but not unto surrender.
00:05:35 Cherri Campbell
And that's why they fled in the night.
00:05:37 Cherri Campbell
And then they went back to fishing. Many of them, after Jesus was crucified, they thought their their all their hopes.
00:05:47 Cherri Campbell
Had been destroyed.
00:05:48 Cherri Campbell
Their expectation for a king and a Kingdom to come that they had been so eagerly expecting, and they thought for sure it had come.
00:05:57 Cherri Campbell
And then it seemed like it was lost.
00:06:00 Cherri Campbell
Jesus is gone. He's dead now.
00:06:03 Cherri Campbell
And it seemed that their hopes were destroyed.
00:06:07 Cherri Campbell
That we know Jesus was raised from the dead and then he went back to the disciples and we read in acts chapter one, verse three that for 40 days he talked with them.
00:06:17 Cherri Campbell
And what did you talk about?
00:06:20 Cherri Campbell
The Kingdom of God.
00:06:22 Cherri Campbell
And he kept talking about the Kingdom.
00:06:25 Cherri Campbell
They're thinking.
00:06:26 Cherri Campbell
Now you talk about the Kingdom before.
00:06:29 Cherri Campbell
And you died. But you're back here again and you're still talking about this Kingdom coming.
00:06:35 Cherri Campbell
And So what did they ask? In acts? Chapter one, verse 6.
00:06:39 Cherri Campbell
Are you now?
00:06:40 Cherri Campbell
To restore the Kingdom to Israel.
00:06:42 Cherri Campbell
Their hopes are up again.
00:06:44 Cherri Campbell
Maybe now we're going to have this physical Kingdom and Jesus said in verse 7 it's not for you to know.
00:06:51 Cherri Campbell
The times that have been set by the father in verse eight though he.
00:06:55 Cherri Campbell
But you go and you preach the gospel in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and then to the uttermost parts of the.
00:07:00 Cherri Campbell
What?
00:07:01 Cherri Campbell
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God don't think right now about the establishment of the physical Kingdom, but you go preach about the spiritual Kingdom.
00:07:11 Cherri Campbell
You see, the first time Jesus came, he did not come to set up a physical Kingdom, but a spiritual Kingdom.
00:07:17 Cherri Campbell
He did not come to deliver them from Rome but to deliver them from sin.
00:07:23 Cherri Campbell
And to deliver us and all of mankind from sin.
00:07:27 Cherri Campbell
But we do know Jesus promised he will come again. And even as Jesus in acts, Chapter 1 was raised up and he disappeared in the clouds, out of their sight.
00:07:37 Cherri Campbell
2 angels came to them and they said to these men men, why are you standing looking up into the clouds?
00:07:44 Cherri Campbell
The same Jesus will come back the same way that you saw him go. He will come back again.
00:07:51 Cherri Campbell
So our expectation Jesus said I will come back again and when we look in revelation see the second coming is still in the future.
00:07:59 Cherri Campbell
Have not yet seen it.
00:08:01 Cherri Campbell
It's in the future. It's in revelation, and in chapter 19, verses 11 to 16, we see that Jesus comes riding on a White Horse.
00:08:10 Cherri Campbell
And his name is called Faithful and True, and he's called the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
00:08:18 Cherri Campbell
And it says that he will strike down the nations and rule them.
00:08:25 Cherri Campbell
With an iron scepter.
00:08:28 Cherri Campbell
That is a forceful physical rule on the Earth.
00:08:34 Cherri Campbell
At that time, Jesus will.
00:08:35 Cherri Campbell
A throne on.
00:08:37 Cherri Campbell
It will be in Jerusalem, in Israel and he.
00:08:41 Cherri Campbell
Rule over.
00:08:42 Cherri Campbell
Of the earth for 1000 years, that will be the establishment of the physical Kingdom.
00:08:47 Cherri Campbell
But we are not yet in that time, we have not seen it.
00:08:51 Cherri Campbell
Has not yet come and so.
00:08:53 Cherri Campbell
Are still.
00:08:54 Cherri Campbell
In this period of time, under the Great Commission, when Jesus said go into all the world and preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God, and we are supposed to preach, this is a spiritual Kingdom of God established on the earth.
00:09:06 Cherri Campbell
We must walk in.
00:09:08 Cherri Campbell
And we must bring this Kingdom of God to earth through preaching it and through believing it and living in it.
00:09:15 Cherri Campbell
Now that's a quick review, but I want to.
00:09:19 Cherri Campbell
On now.
00:09:21 Cherri Campbell
And let's go to Colossians chapter.
00:09:23 Cherri Campbell
Now, what are our three keywords to define a Kingdom?
00:09:29 Cherri Campbell
They are government.
00:09:32 Cherri Campbell
The Government of God and.
00:09:36 Cherri Campbell
The system of God and.
00:09:39 Cherri Campbell
The laws of God, Amen.
00:09:41 Cherri Campbell
Now we've just talked about the.
00:09:43 Cherri Campbell
I've talked about establishing the government. I want to focus on the second word now.
00:09:47 Cherri Campbell
This system, the system of.
00:09:50 Cherri Campbell
Now let's look in Colossians chapter 1.
00:09:54 Cherri Campbell
And verses 12 and 13, giving thanks to the father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the Saints.
00:10:03 Cherri Campbell
In the Kingdom of Light.
00:10:07 Cherri Campbell
For he.
00:10:08 Cherri Campbell
Rescued us from the Dominion of Darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of the son he loves.
00:10:18 Cherri Campbell
Verse 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Now in these two verses, or especially verse 13, we see the two kingdoms and I want to say there are two kingdoms.
00:10:30 Cherri Campbell
They are the Kingdom of light.
00:10:33 Cherri Campbell
And the Kingdom of darkness.
00:10:37 Cherri Campbell
Also called the Kingdom of God.
00:10:41 Cherri Campbell
And the Kingdom of the world.
00:10:44 Cherri Campbell
God is the ruler of the king over the Kingdom of God, and Satan is the ruler or the king over the Kingdom of this world.
00:10:56 Cherri Campbell
Now another name for the Kingdom of God is also the Kingdom of Christ.
00:11:02 Cherri Campbell
Also called the Kingdom of Heaven, and I want you to understand this.
00:11:07 Cherri Campbell
Want to explain this to you?
00:11:08 Cherri Campbell
Heaven is not the same.
00:11:11 Cherri Campbell
Thing as the Kingdom of heaven.
00:11:14 Cherri Campbell
A lot of people get that mixed up, especially, you know, in the gospels we see in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
00:11:23 Cherri Campbell
That sometimes we read the Kingdom of God, and sometimes we read the Kingdom of heaven and people have gotten confused over that thinking.
00:11:30 Cherri Campbell
They.
00:11:30 Cherri Campbell
Are they the same?
00:11:31 Cherri Campbell
And sometimes when they talk about the Kingdom of heaven, they're thinking about heaven.
00:11:36 Cherri Campbell
But let me explain it like this.
00:11:39 Cherri Campbell
Heaven is not the same thing as the Kingdom of heaven. Heaven is a place.
00:11:46 Cherri Campbell
Just like Earth is a place.
00:11:50 Cherri Campbell
But the Kingdom of Heaven is a government.
00:11:54 Cherri Campbell
Heaven is a place the Kingdom of heaven is a government, but the Kingdom of heaven and the Kingdom of God are the same.
00:12:04 Cherri Campbell
They are both the government of.
00:12:07 Cherri Campbell
God is not the king over 2 kingdoms. He's the king of one Kingdom.
00:12:11 Cherri Campbell
And so that will help you to understand it that when you read about Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven, it's talking about the same thing, but it's not always necessarily just talking about heaven.
00:12:23 Cherri Campbell
So the Kingdom of Darkness has another name.
00:12:28 Cherri Campbell
Also called the Kingdom of this world.
00:12:31 Cherri Campbell
And also in Ephesians Chapter 2 verse 2 it says the ruler of the Kingdom of the air.
00:12:39 Cherri Campbell
So it's also called the Kingdom of the air.
00:12:44 Cherri Campbell
Now these are two.
00:12:47 Cherri Campbell
There are two systems of operating.
00:12:51
I.
00:12:52 Cherri Campbell
Two ways of doing things.
00:12:55 Cherri Campbell
Two different worldviews, two different ways of thinking, ways of talking and ways of doing.
00:13:05 Cherri Campbell
What you just heard was part four in a series of messages that I've been sharing with you over the last few weeks called the Kingdom of.
00:13:13 Cherri Campbell
Or you could even call it understanding the Kingdom of God what it is and how it operates. This message is from a class that I taught some years ago called the Kingdom of God.
