SPEAKER 01 : 0:21

Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I'm Cherry Campbell. This morning, I'm going to continue sharing with you message number six in a series of messages that I've been sharing with you for the last several weeks called the Kingdom of God. And if you've missed any of these messages or would like to hear them again, you can 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 then the top category called radio broadcasts. You will see this series called the kingdom of God. Now, join me in our live class for the continuation of this message. Number six called the kingdom of God is superior. Continued. God will never let us down and he will never fail us. As he said in his own word in Hebrews 13, verse five. And the amplified Bible says. For God himself has said, I will not in any way fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not. And actually in the Greek, the New Testament was written in Greek. It is a triple emphasis, three times emphasis on those words. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless or forsake you or let you down or relax my hold on you. Assuredly not. God himself has said, I'm going to read it again. And I believe that there are people that are hearing this today that you have felt helpless in different situations of your life. And whatever it is, God is saying this to you today. God himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up. nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless, nor forsake you, nor let you down, or relax my hold on you. Assuredly not. And verse 6 says, So therefore we take comfort. And we are encouraged and we confidently and boldly say, the Lord is my helper. I will not be seized with alarm. I will not fear or dread or be terrified. What can man do to me? Right. Amen. So I want you to take comfort as it says, we take comfort and we are encouraged today because God says, I will never leave you helpless or fail you or let you down. The world will let you down. Your family may let you down. Your friends may let you down. Your church may let you down, but God will never, never, never, never, never let you down. amen amen praise god god will never let you down he will never forsake you he will never desert you your family may desert you your friends may desert you but god will never desert you and he will never say well you deserve what you've got just stay there you're going to have to suffer with this for the rest of your life and i think some people have been told that And there are Christians that will tell you, well, you did it. You're going to just have to suffer with it. It's your own fault. God is a merciful God. And God is a forgiving God. And he will never leave you in your situation if you will just turn to him. And maybe you did do something wrong. Maybe it was your fault that you got in the mess you got in. I mean, all of our messes, we got in them ourselves. You know, God doesn't ever lead us into a mess or a problem. We get into it ourselves. But God is always ready to get us out. You know, and people may tell you, well, you deserve it. You did it. You did that stupid thing. Well, God is not unmerciful. God is forgiving and gracious and loving. And so all you have to do is say, Lord, I repent. I know that what I did was wrong. I messed up. Please forgive me and get me out of this situation. And God will jump in there right in the middle of that situation, right with you. And I'll say, OK, I'll take hold together with you. I'll pick you up. I'll encourage you and I'll strengthen you and I'll bring you out into a good land, into a land flowing with milk and honey. into a place that is abundant with peace and joy, into a place where you can be restored. There is restoration in the kingdom of God. There is restoration to everything that was lost and even into something better than what you had before. Amen. Amen. God can bring you out. He'll jump into that situation with you. But you must first repent and then you must be willing to be obedient to do what he says. If you remain stubborn and unchangeable, then you will stay where you are. And you'll stay in that situation that you've caused for yourself. But if you become willing to change and say, I was wrong. I'm willing to change and go a different way and follow you, Lord. And I'll be obedient and do whatever you say to do. God will bring you out and he'll bring you into a good land. Just like he brought Israel out of Egypt and he brought them into the promised land. God will get you out of your Egypt. He'll get you out of your wilderness, out of your desert, out of your dry place and and He'll bring you into your promised land, into your place that is flowing with milk and honey, your place that is abundant, your place that is rich and rewarding and fulfilling and full of joy and peace and the dream that you've got for your life. God is willing and able to do it when you follow Him. Amen? Amen. Amen. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. And Philippians 4, verse 13, most of us know this verse. It says, I can do all things or everything through him who gives me strength. We are able to do everything in the kingdom of God. You know, you may look at a situation and you look at it and say, I can't do that. Maybe you're in college or at the university and you take this test. I just can't do this. This is too hard. Or maybe you're facing another situation that says, I just can't do this. Never say you can't do it because with God you can do all things. And Matthew 19, verse 26, Matthew 19, 26 says, With God, all things are possible. So all things are possible to those who believe. All things are possible with God when you work with God. And when you allow the power and the anointing of God to help you and assist you and empower you, then you can do all things and there is no limit. So what I want you to see is that the kingdom of God is absolutely limitless. Amen? Amen. amen praise the Lord praise the Lord now the next one let's look at another area where the kingdom of God is superior to the kingdom of this world and this is really really I really find this interesting the kingdom of God is superior to the world in duration or longevity duration or longevity length of life or existence. And I want to focus on something here. The world system, the system of this world is both bound by time and ruled by by time. Two things, bound by time and ruled by time. Now, when I say bound by time, what I mean is it has boundaries. has boundaries of time. Now let's study this and look at it for a little bit. That means that there is a beginning boundary, time boundary of the kingdom of the world, and there is an ending boundary of time. There is a beginning boundary and an ending boundary of of the system of this world. And I want us to see the beginning of this world system. Go to Genesis chapter 10. Genesis chapter 10. Now, if you remember, in Genesis chapter 6, 7, 8, and 9, we read about Noah. And in Genesis 6, God told Noah to build an ark because there would be a flood that would come on the whole earth. In Genesis 7, we read about the flood. In Genesis 8, we read about the receding of the flood or how the flood waters receded and went away. And then in chapter 9, we see how God blessed Noah and told Noah to be fruitful and multiply and fill the whole earth, subdue the earth. And so the story of Noah goes all the way through Genesis 9. Then in Genesis 10, we begin to see the descendants of Noah. and what happened after the flood. And when you get down to Genesis 10, verse 8, it says, "'Kush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth.'" He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. That is why it is said, like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord. Verse 10. The first centers of his what? His kingdom. His kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calnei. In Shinar. The first centers of his kingdom. This is the beginning of the kingdom of this world operating. This is the first kingdom that was established on earth. The name Nimrod in verse 8. Cush was the father of Nimrod. The name Nimrod means rebellion. Nimrod was not a godly man. Nimrod was a wicked man. And his name means rebellion. And when it says he grew to be a mighty warrior, you can also call him a conqueror. A conqueror. just like the Romans conquered other nations and territories. And if you've studied history, you've heard of Alexander the Great being a conqueror. Nimrod set out to conquer the world and put it under himself. When God blessed Adam and said subdue the earth, he said subdue the birds and the fish and the animals and the plants and everything like that, but he never said subdue people. People were not included in what we're supposed to dominate or control. Nimrod was a man who was trying to make himself king of the earth. What you just heard was the continuation of message number six in a series of messages that I've been sharing with you for the last several weeks called the kingdom of God. And this message number six is called the kingdom of God is superior continued. And we will continue this message tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
