Prayer Works Bible Study: April 27, 2025

"The Kingdom Of God - Love"

---

So Dorothy is leading us today. How's everybody doing good, good, good. We are good. Hey all right. Good to see everybody. This evening I'm going to be speaking on the Kingdom of God and my sub topic is going to be love. So let us pray together.  

Lord God, thank you for this day. Thank you for allowing us to come together this evening as one unit Lord God, thank you, Father God for each family, Lord God and I just thank you for helping us Lord Father God to stay focused and to keep our minds stayed on you.  

And to continue to dwell in your Kingdom and to seek you Father God each and every day of our lives. Thank you, Father God, for getting us safe back and forth from our travels and from the things that we are doing each and every day.  

And thank you, Lord, that what we ask for ourselves, we want everyone in this Earth to be blessed Lord God. And we know that you bless us all blessing comes from you Lord, thank you for this word that I have prepared for today.  

And I pray Lord that you will deliver it Lord God and that you will increase as I decrease. I thank you Father God for working in my life each and every day. You are good. I praise you. I give you glory.  

I magnify you. I love you. You are everything to me, not my will, Lord but your will be done. I praise and give you all glory by faith in Jesus name, Amen. Amen. Ok, so again, I'm going to be talking about the Kingdom of God and my sub topic is going to be love.  

And the reason I chose love was because as I focus on the Lord who he is, what he has done and what he's doing in our lives, and in his children's lives, and we are his children and we are in his Kingdom.  

We can always see his action in love, whether it is rebuke, or whether it's trained and whether we're learning something, whether we're going through something at the end of the tunnel, we can always see his love.  

So it's not my intent to teach about the King of God, but to get some highlights and some testimony on my learning experience. Since listening to Pastor Zee teaching on the King of God at the end of last year, 2024, it was so powerful.  

And all of a sudden, as he was teaching it, it's a light bulb came on and it changed my whole mindset about my Christian walk as I listened to that message, all the messages and the Bible studies and the morning devotions, all that's good.  

But when I heard him speak on the Kingdom that did something in my heart that did something to me. And so around the time that Pastor Zee was teaching it. I was trying to figure out my own life at that time. It's this is testimony where I am in my Christian walk.  

How do I get to the point of where I am and what I needed to do at this point in my in my walk because I wasn't too happy in it at that time. And so I probably was overthinking like I do sometimes.  

I definitely was frustrated and half heartedly praying and seeking the Lord. And so when I started dealing with my mind like that, I've learned to carry on my daily activities enough to do what I need to do for that day, but I was so bogged down with my own issues I wouldn't too much focus on anything else.  

So several days or several weeks, I can't remember after that I was thinking. As I was talking with Pastor Zee about an ongoing issue in my life. And something that was going on that I it keeps coming and going and so I appreciate pastors.  

He was so patient. He ministered to me. He wasn't, you know, he just took his time. I had all these bud and so I appreciate that he took that time out to do that because that is my first time that I ever shared my issues with anyone as I can remember. 

It's just that I never had. I never felt like I had an example or connection with somebody that could trust in leadership to be concerned and understand about what was going on deep within me, because I really didn't know myself.  

It was something psychological and just telling me to pray and to see, keep seeking the Lord and have faith. Which I thought I was doing anyway, but that wasn't just those words was enough not enough for me to be delivered.  

And so I just carried this thing on and on. And actually I got I got delivered. I got delivered from depression there's one of the things of many that the Lord delivered me from in my earlier days when I got saved and so I think that was just something that I allowed to linger on.  

But it just comes and goes. And I just learned how to handle it myself as best I could and I continue doing normal way of doing things and never getting to life because I've learned along the way that words without power, you know the spirit, the Holy Ghost power is just pointless. 

And so if someone's I feel like if someone's speaking truth to you, that and you understand it and you're connected with them, that there's gonna be something, there's gonna be a turning point. There's gonna be a deliverance. 

And so I just didn't get that for whatever reason and so that's why we're still dealing with him. But the funny thing about the conversation with Pastor Zee and myself after that conversation, we hung up.  

I attempted to replay the conversation back in my mind like I always do and trying to understand remember what was said. What did I say? What did the person say? It was a disagreement. What was my attitude?  

Did I come across, you know, negative or what I need to learn or what I need to do. But I couldn't think of what we had talked about. It's like that was really strange to me. I was complaining.  

But I just couldn't remember when I went played it back over like that was really strange. I couldn't remember what we had talked about, but Pastor Zee had ministered to me, and so we said our goodbyes and I had given him a lot of. If you know just an earful and give him an earful.  

I just couldn't bring it together on what I mean it wasn't even worrying or nothing. It was just nothing. It was just nothing there going on and I couldn't figure out in my mind what was going on. And so the Lord never seen anything like peace or I'm delivering you or never word no kind of word.  

He never said anything. And so as Pastor Z was teaching on the Kingdom law, I became while he was teaching one of those teaching on which one but one of them. I became so stressful and mad. And I'm not. I'm not angry.  

I was just actually mad. I was hurt, I was disappointed and at that time I didn't know why I had never experienced that kind of emotion before at the teaching of God's word. But once I had time to think about it, I wasn't upset at the teaching that Pastor Zee was doing.  

I was upset because the word had gone forth. I knew that it was a good word, but my understanding was why haven't I heard it before like that? Or haven't why? Why? I didn't know that the Kingdom of God is our should be our priority and not you know the things that we seek out.  

The thing we ask the Lord for but actually seeking his Kingdom. And so it was something that I much needed. So what was going on with me what I realized the Lord reminded me years ago as I was in church, reading the Bible, going to church service well and all that was good.  

But somewhere, once I had been saved for a few years and had understood at a point where the Bible was saying. Something wasn't lining up with the way we was doing church and the way what the Bible was saying. 

I couldn't figure it out, but something wasn't right. The way we were doing good things. We would help. I was heavily involved in the church activities I was enjoying going to church fellowship and ushering, witnessing, prayer, meeting, prayer, revival, everything that was going on, participating with the women of the church.  

And having a good time in church. But it's just like, but still it was a good feeling, emotionally and mentally. It was just it was just good. It was just good. As much as I knew about being saved and how we should live, we were all doing what I thought, what we thought was what we were supposed to be doing, and those things were good things.  

But the Lord reminded me that I was concerned even way back then, that the church was doing one thing, but the Bible was saying something different and not that the church ain't I'm trying not trying to say the church was saying and I'm just saying we were doing something different.  

So I was upset because I started thinking as he was past as he was teaching that ok I gotta change. I gotta, I'll start all the way back over in my Christian walk and I have to relearn.  

Focus more on what the Bible was saying and just take go all the way back and it's like. I feel like, oh, I don't have the energy or the time that I had back then because I was running back then. It's like I'm just walking now.  

And so that's why I was so upset is that. I didn't want to. I'm already dealing with my own stuff that's going on and I didn't want to take the time. I feel like I didn't want to take the time to start all the way back over which all of us know you don't have to start over.  

You just start where you are and go forward. But that's what that's why I was upset about him. So after I pulled myself together, I must say that I said I made myself ready. I started studying and I started relearning some stuff and learning how to figure out what the Lord is really calling us to do.  

So some things I've learned from Pastor Zee teaching and the other teachings I've been listening to on the Kingdom of God. There's some good stuff on mine. I think I'll be going. I'll be doing this for the rest of my life about the Kingdom of God.  

So what I learned is the Kingdom is a nation on the a King's domain and rule. The Kingdom of God is the place where God's rule rules in heaven and earth. A Kingdom consists of a King Territory, citizen laws, and the and the citizens are God's royal family.  

And the Kingdom that I'm Speaking of today on the earth where we are right now is Jesus is the king. And his territories here on Earth. His citizen is his royal family, us, the body of Christ. And we are subject to his laws.  

Where and so where is the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God is spiritually in our hearts, controlled by the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is expanded by his citizens. The body of Christ that, and it says thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.  

So in order for people to know what's going on in heaven and on earth, it's up to the we have been placed here to spread the good news of the Kingdom, the gospel. And we do that through witnessing to people proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom.  

And telling about the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus and the son of God, and pointing those who are spiritual lost to Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected from the dead, offering everyone eternal life. 

So how do we get started living a Kingdom life? It’s a spiritual life from within our hearts. Once we are born again, met through. 32 John the Baptist priest repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.  

Then Jesus came back in Matthew 4:17, saying the same thing repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand, and so we start out through repentance and receiving salvation. Mathew 6:33 says, but seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.  

Seek means to digitally look for something or someone or someone, or to search for something or someone on purpose. And when we seek in God's Kingdom, we're putting God's will above our worldly desires. 

Living a holy life representing the Kingdom of God and our thoughts, our words, our actions, and standing up for what's right and serving others And living a life of repentance. And we live in obedience, trust in God that he will supply our needs.  

The scripture says for yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory. Daniel4:3 states how great are his signs, how mighty his wonders, his Kingdom and his dominion endures from generation to generation. Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and that's Psalms 1:45.  

So the focus is, focusing not on what really what we want and what we think that Bible is saying is about opening up the Bible and really studying it and seeing what it's saying and it's going to point us to the reason and purpose Jesus came and he came preaching our repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.  

And so once we understand what the Kingdom has received that and get into the Kingdom. Then life takes on a whole different form. You know, we start seeking the things that God wants us to do, and that and within that kind of thing, it brings peace into our hearts.  

It brings, you know, love into our heart, trust into our hearts, and we begin to figure out we understand that we don't have to figure out everything. A lot of things we're asking for and praying for Lord, help me pay my bills, help me pay my mortgage, help me pay my rent.  

Help me provide for my kids all those things already belong to us when we know how to function in the Kingdom of God. And so that's my goal now is to stay focused on seeking his Kingdom because everything involved that we're involved in is centered in his Kingdom.  

Right now his Kingdom is in heaven and it's on Earth, living through us, and we know that Jesus is going to come back, set the records, great, take care of sin and bring us before we started from before Adam and Eve sinned. Pure, holy, sanctified, perfect and so that's our journey.  

And that's our goal is to seek the Kingdom of God. And that's what I have to say today. So let's pray. Lord God, thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to be before you had to come before you. Thank you, Lord God, for working in our lives and showing and pointing us, Father God in the right direction. 

Which is holiness with which is godliness, which is Father God doing what your word has told us to do and we won't go wrong Lord God.  

Thank you for forgiving us, Father. God, for the times that we've gone astray, the times that we're wasted time and that the times we didn't know any different Lord God, but we praise and give you all the glory for you on time God.  

You always give us what we need on time and we are ready for it, Lord. And we thank you, Father God, for working in each and every person's life. Father, God and we just thank you, Father God, that we help everything we need. 

Father God help us to focus in and seek you while you may be found and to call upon you while you are near Father God. Father. God, we thank you, Father God, for just being good to us.  

Father God, each and every day, Lord, just touch our hearts. Lord God whatever the need is today, Lord God, you know, we thank you, Father God, for giving rest to our souls. We thank you for a peace of mind.  

Lord God, we thank you, Father God, for correction and discipline in our lives. Lord God, we thank you, Holy Spirit, that everything that we need and everything that we could ever think of needing, that's good.  

You have already provided the Lord God, Father God, we will go on in Jesus name on this journey you have called us to Lord God. And that's the that's a blessing in itself that you have chosen us to be people in your Kingdom, Lord God.  

And we thank you for all the many that you have already called and those you are yet calling into the Kingdom God and we say in Jesus name your will be done, your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.  

We praise and give you all the glory we give you all the praise. We love you because you first loved us. We thank you, Father God, for doing a mighty work in our lives. And we will forever give you praise in Jesus name we pray by faith, Amen, Amen. 

Oh. That's it. Thank you, Dorothy. That was really, really powerful testimony. You know, we all have light bulb moments in our, you know, spiritual walk and I know I've had them.  

And so, you know, when you are walking in faith, you know, sometimes even what you are seeing, especially in the church as you're being led by people in the church, you may find that sometimes it's not all for God's glory, and that's where you have these moments that you know the Holy Spirit will touch you either directly or indirectly.  

And in this case, obviously it was through Pastor Zee and his teaching. That you know, I remember that teaching back in December, you know, and you know, it's one of those where as you are walking this walk and you walk it out, you know things begin to make sense.  

Things begin to come at you differently. I know in our walk, you know, there are things that we once thought were right and we once believed that this was God's way, but as we've continued walking on this journey. 

We've now come to realize that what we once thought was the right way was actually not the right way, and it didn't give God the glory that God demands, and so it's good you know, for all of us. 

I think to hear from one of our own when that light bulb goes off that we actually get clarity and we get an understanding of what the spirit is really saying because that's really what the walk is all about. It's to hear the spirit.  

And it's to walk and live by the spirit and not allow our feelings and our emotions, you know, to get involved. And so I thank you. I thank you. And I was, you know what you were saying just reminded me a few things that you know, so most of us on this call, we're not spring chickens,  

I mean we're young at heart, you know. I don't like asking for myself. I'm no spring chicken. Every morning I wake up, I'm reminded I’m no spring chicken. But how it how God uses, who he will and thank God that he's still speaking to you and stirring your spirit. 

So that when you hear truth your spirit responds and says don't be satisfied with cotton candy. Yeah, going to church is not about feeling good. It's not about being a you can you can go to a club you know, and not a dance club, you know. 

It feels good. You know what I mean, you feel good, you know, sewing Cub, Cooking Club, whatever it is you can feel good. But this is not what this walk is about as far as feeling good with what we do for pleasure or for recognition or for relaxation or for fun.  

We will feel empowered. We will feel joy when we are working for the Kingdom and worshipping God and handling the things of this Kingdom and the holy way. And when you begin to see wait a second.  

I've been doing this wrong and or what I've been under has been incomplete and like you said, not that it's wrong or it's sinful, it's incomplete and it what you were saying, also reminding me of the Book of Revelation in Jesus's letter to the seven churches.  

And it was only two out of the seven churches that Jesus commended, but all the other churches was like, yeah, you're doing this, you're doing that. That's good. Yeah, that's good.  

But I have this I still have this against you and I think it's so important for us to really understand who are you worshipping as Pastor Zee always says, a lot of these churches inadvertently become shrines to the pastor to the elders.  

Whoever it is, who started the church, and it may have started with good intentions, but good intentions aren't enough for the Kingdom. It's the good heart and you know, as you're saying, purposing in your heart that I want to pursue the Kingdom of God and His will.  

And that will keep you on the straight path and narrow path, but be path it's hard, but it's the only path. So I thank you yes for your teaching and testimonies. Yes, Lord. Thank you. 

And Dorothy what you said tonight about, I think that's why I stay on this call so long because of Pastor Zee, when you said that when you had issues or problem, whatever you choose to call it, you went to him and he was able to help you.  

Y'all remember on my message. That I told y'all about what I had heard, and I went to a pastor, I didn't get a satisfactory answer. I left there confused, wondering, praying to find another church and that that's what led me to looking into who was talking to me, who was speaking to me, and was it real, you know, was like crazy.  

I was at this, pastors office asking, then telling him my story. He couldn't give me a satisfactory answer, but like I said, it led me to learning and seeking who the Holy Spirit is, and maybe that was a good thing.  

You know, maybe he did in in God's own way he told me as much as he could. You see what I'm saying? Maybe he didn't really know at that time. And so but anyway, I stay on this meeting because I've gotten good information every Sunday, I always. I always get something that I need out of this out of this service. Amen. 

That's all. You know when you kind of think about this. This whole entire world, right. And you just think about how many people we have met that we consider good people. Good neighbors. Good bus drivers, good assist.  

You know just think about just the plethora of people you meet that consider themselves good. And then you think about Jesus saying no why do you call me good? You then realize from that. 

That the notion of being good is kind of like a fleeting non existent thing, because in God's Kingdom there is nobody who's good in their own right. So which means that all of humanity, no matter how good we try to be or to do things. 

Without his spirit I don't know what we call that in his Kingdom. Because the scriptures that you gave us right penetrating the Kingdom. Is sometimes you can hear people be it on TV, talk about God, right.  

Talk about preach the word. I'll give you a good example. I don't know if you know this individual. You know, I came on a few weeks ago. He was on a sports talk show and in literally maybe 2 minutes he preached the word quoted Scripture. 

That if you were somebody who's in church, you're like ah that's a believer. Because he talked about his grandmother about going to church, and then he quoted this scripture and then he put it all in context. 

Passionately I'm not talking about just, I'm talking about passionately that you could say oh wow. Two weeks later, two weeks later here comes a scandal. They are being sued in court and I think they are going to court and it's going to be a mess. And what's coming out of that is something that you'll be like wait a minute.  

How do these two things coexist? What came out of this guy's mouth on that day and what came out of his mouth privately, that is now become public knowledge to the whole country.  

You can't. You know you can, you can say these two things exist and then moreover, people point to him as oh, he's a good guy. But then when you hear what he did not on audio.  

He is talking about it. Then you like how does how do these two things coexist until you realize that, to be honest it's impossible to really understand church, if you're not in the Kingdom. 

You could be in church, but actually be not in the Kingdom. Literally there's so many people who are in church, not even in the Kingdom. And it's so sad because when you read the scriptures that you just read to us, right?  

These are phenomenal scriptures. Romans 14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking. Right now, when you think about those two words eating and drinking in order for this physical body to survive you have to what?  

Eat and drink without eating and drinking you die. So now he's saying the Kingdom of God is not feeding this it's not about eating and drinking. But really, it's about righteousness, peace and joy.  

Word in a specific individual who is the Holy Ghost. Not outside of the Holy Ghost. It doesn't say with the Holy Ghost. It doesn't say together with the Holy Ghost. He says righteousness, peace and joy in a person.  

Who is the present hood of the Holy Spirit? Which means with that being in the person you don't have what righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost and the scripture. That's what the Kingdom of God is.  

Hence you have to seek ye first the Kingdom, right. That's a country. Righteousness that's culture. Way of thinking. Now the word of God is the language of this Kingdom. The word of God is the language of the Kingdom.  

That's why the word now has to what renew your mind so that you can exist where in the Kingdom without the renewal of your mind, you cannot scripture all you want without the renewal of your mind you can't exist in the Kingdom, can’t.  

Hence, sometimes we ask people for information and we don't get it. It's just like you going to Turkey and asking somebody in English in Istanbul. You're not going to get any information because they are not part of your culture.  

Now again, you can be in church. You literally can be in church. You can be an American, but not speak English and I know some people. My son has a friend whose father don't speak a word of English.  

He's American so which means that the culture of this country has an understanding. And you should watch his son sometimes take advantage of him because he doesn't understand the language.  

So which means that to understand scriptures you can read it. But to understand scriptures the way. Remember the lesson we had a few months ago about how you can get to the knowledge of Scripture without the illumination of the Holy Spirit.  

That it's impossible. So this matter and the beauty of this, the beauty of this, you know, one of the most incredible things that just happened today is because I know when I spoke to Dorothy, neither do I remember what we talked about.  

I don’t but what I remember is that. I was driving from someone when I started this conversation. It was a very long conversation and I came and I parked in the in the garage for almost maybe an hour 2 hours, I'm parked down there.  

And I don't remember. Again but the joy of being in the Holy Ghost is that there's things that he does in us that we will never know when how it happened but we just know it happened. 

When I don't know. When did I stop eating that? I don't know, it just happened. So this matter right here because really guys, when you read the Book of Revelation 7, when he's talking about the number of people in the nation of Israel who will make it into heaven.  

144,000 Revelation 7. Now then you think about how many people are in Israel? This is what John saw. That out of all these tribes, out of all the 12 tribes, there were 12,000 in each tribal group that made it.  

So you so you then realize that this matter of this Kingdom. It's really important because that's what Jesus is coming back to, not the church. He's coming back to the Kingdom. Where is this Kingdom? Right.  

So think about it. How do you then carry the Kingdom if you are not seeking righteousness? It's impossible. That you may know the word, but if you are not seeking righteousness. And we're not talking about finding righteousness because you can't make yourself right. It is the Holy Ghost that can make you right.  

So if you are not seeking for the Holy Ghost to make you right then how are you going to hold this Kingdom? And when does the Holy Spirit make you right? Nobody knows, but he just does his work until you realize, oh, he did something in me.  

And when that happens, that should be evidence and confidence enough for you to say my God. Yeah, the Kingdom is within me and it's working. That's why when you see somebody struggle with an issue for years, yes, I'm talking about decades and decades.  

Then you haven't, you haven't seen the spirit yet. Because he will come and do some stuff in you that you like. I don't know when, but I know it happened. Because I no longer have that desire. Our minds have limited capacity.  

We all know this, that you know. It's impossible for us to know everything that is there to know. That means the greater level of seeking the righteousness in the Kingdom of God that we have.  

The more we push out, things that are not necessary in our mind. That's why when you seek the Lord every single day, every moment, every hour, every right, what consumes you is righteousness.  

And the more that consumes you, the easier it is to deal with the challenges and things of this world. Not because you don't want them, not because you don't want what everybody is enjoying.  

But because just the desire to have those things is literally replaced by the desire of seeking righteousness. And once we rest in that place, then a lot of things are made easy. Not because they are not hard.  

But because we believe that as long as I stay in touch and connect it to the Holy Spirit, then in the midst of challenges, I'll find joy. I'll find peace in the midst of it, I will find righteousness.  

Remember what I always say the quickest way to righteousness is what through temptation, not going to church, that when the temptation come and you, you stay the course, then in that moment you become righteous. Jesus was tested but all points and he was found to be no sin.  

He was found righteousness. Why? Because he was tested. With out test, there's no righteousness. And the only way we get to righteousness is not with in the Holy Ghost in. Like inside of the Holy Ghost. 

I mean this this scripture is unbelievable Romans 14:17. You can't eat your way into it. You can't drink your way into the Kingdom. You can enter into the Holy Spirit to find righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.  

Now think about that when you think about this statement, right? Now think about how detrimental it is to us when we kick this spirit out of the church. When we kick the spirit out of our meetings, when we kick the spirit out of our worship.  

That every time he shows up like then you wonder why people go to church, spend 45, 2, 3 hours at the church, live depressed. That should never be. If you encounter the Holy Spirit, how do you leave the church, mad? How do you get mad or angry in that atmosphere?  

It's impossible because we are told what it supplies righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Hence, a lot of people are trying to be right by themselves, it's a tall order. It is a tall order.  

So you know I'm grateful that we are seeking this Kingdom. I'm grateful that we are trying to the best of our ability. And I'm grateful that you know, out of all the people that are meeting in Bible studies throughout this world, that the Holy Spirit you know comes and hangs out with us. 

Because he could just choose to say, you know what? I'm going to go this way today. It's a privilege to experience the spirit of God. Because he could go anywhere, be anywhere with anybody.  

But when he decides to just show up and just, you know, I'm gonna hang out with you. I mean, think about it, when we set these times, right? When the e-mail goes out when Vee say hey Bible study, it's 7:00 PM, right?  

I want you to think about it. None of us ever ask and say will the Holy Spirit be there? None of us ever say what's going to happen today? None of us ever call each other for my own understanding and say, hey, are you are you coming on or will you be there right.  

But somehow in in our internal clock rhrough the aid of the Holy Spirit, because, to be honest, we didn't create this. He created this. I mean, he's African from over there and he's over here with all these Americans and you know.  

How do we create this right. So it shows you that in his endeavor to draw for us, to join in with him he creates a place in this vastness of this Kingdom for us to have a portion of that corner where we can enjoy him and that's a gift.  

It's not because we're smart. So just the fact that through his volution says, hey, Dorothy, it's 7:00 PM, It's 6:00 PM. You need to jump on. Hey, Nadia, it's 6:00 PM. You need to jump on Mary hey, where you at? You need to jump on.  

Deborah, I saw Deborah driving over there. Hey, you need to jump on, right? Because now in his working with us. He now has an internal clock and the place that, hey, I'm going to jump on this vehicle.  

So before you get here he already prepared a word for you, I'm sure when did you start working on this Dorothy? Probably some weeks ago. Yeah, I'm speaking. I got to figure out. And now he's having a conversation with the Holy Spirit alone in preparation for this day.  

That's why his joy and peace in the Holy Ghost, because he already prepared in advance. I want you to think about this. We're talking about we're on Bible study today, right? Guess what? He's already preparing for next Sunday. And we are still focused on today and this week and he's already like ahead and just say hey.  

Making sure everything lines up. That's why it's the Kingdom of God is joy is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. And where does the joy come from in knowing that he's already prepared things that you and I cannot see.  

But he's already working on it to make sure that when the day comes, we enjoy what he has prepared for us. Otherwise, if it was up to us or if you find out that, hey, it's Dorothy speaking today of, like, hey, I'm speaking.  

I might speak a week. That's what people do, right? But then we don't know. So he just he just he just plans it ahead of time. So this matter of being in the king, this is how you know you are in a Kingdom.  

Because in a Kingdom, right when the king sits with his group. You don't know when they sit. You don't know when that this meeting was held last night at midnight, you were sleeping at your house.  

But the following morning, just here is an announcement in the Kingdom. What is the announcement everybody today must march. How did they make this decision? You know, that's where we always come in, right?  

How do they make this decision? Without, you know, really until you find out the decision was made two months ago. That's where our joy comes because we know the person who is planning for us.  

He's always getting it right. Always never gets it wrong, always on time. Never late knows exactly what's going on. It's not mood by your emotions or my emotions. He's cerebral. He knows the mind of God.  

He knows what God is thinking. He knows what God wants to happen, and he makes sure it is planned accordingly. How many people needs to know this? The whole entire world, he’ll say ok, maybe it's 6000 people. Everybody needs to know this message.  

This is why sometimes when you're talking here and you're preaching here, you'll find out somebody in Zimbabwe, somebody they're doing the same thing because that's the message that the Holy Spirit has prepared for all of the people in the Kingdom.  

Which means that if you find yourself speaking a different voice. When the world has gone out throughout the world that today, this is what we're talking about. Watch out, you might just not be in.  

Because think about these guys if you ever talk to anybody, you know, Calvin sends me a lot of videos, Veronica too. He says hey, I saw this. Hey, watch this or I saw that. Or, hey, this is what you were talking about yesterday and it’s coming from Malaysia. How is people in Malaysia on same Sunday we are talking about the same thing. 

How are people in Zimbabwe talking about the same thing? Because the Holy Spirit make it sure that everybody who is in the Kingdom hears the announcement for the day, that's why he always here say hey, welcome the expectation, because every day he has something in store for all of us. 

If you don't get it, just means you missed it, not because you didn't give it out, you just missed it. Oh so one thing we should never forget is that we are carrying this Kingdom in our hearts.  

So when he says seek you first the Kingdom of God in this righteousness, when Jesus says the Kingdom is in your heart. So you not trying to search for balance. You're just trying to direct the intention of your heart towards godly things.  

When you do that then you can be in touch with the Kingdom as quick as possible. So Dorothy, thank you. Thank you and you know, in a way, this is satisfying to know that the Lord speaks through us.  

Because it's unbeknown to, I mean, I'm telling you this story when I'm hearing you say, I don't even remember what we talked about, I neither do. Because you then realized it wasn't me. It was the Holy Spirit.  

He knows what needed to be said, how it needs to be said. How I needed to listen. And how he needed to say it. And then after he picks it all up, he's like, ok, done, done. And I don't remember anything.  

Neither does she remember a thing, but all we know is that he was present and he did something. How do we know the results are there and evidence for all of us to see. That's the joy of this Kingdom as you know, it will be taken care of.  

You don't have to worry about when, how and is it going. Now you just know it's going to happen. That's an incredible assurance. It's incredible insurance for anything that will ever struggle with because you know it will be taken care of.  

As long as I keep seeking first the Kingdom of God, it will be taken care of. How? That's not my concern. When that's not my concern. But I know it will be. It will be. And again, we all have incredible phenomenal stories.  

That should be like I don't know how it happened, but I know I'm here. Why? Because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking. But his righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.  

So seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. And all these things will be added unto you. When God decides that you now have the capacity to handle them, if not, he will wait.  

You should never ever stop seeking first the Kingdom of that in everything that we do that are seeking first. Where is he? What is he saying in the supermarket? Is he here? Does he need me to say something to somebody? And you just do it.  

Then you know, hey, I'm carrying it in my heart. Unless somebody sees and touch it and feel it and experience it. Now, having said that, guys right. Just a word of caution. Don't worry too much about people and what they say that, you know this is, eh.  

Because one of the ways the enemy wants to get us is to get you because it says double minded person is what? Unstable in all his ways. And that person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.  

So the enemy knows he can get you. There's a hedge of protection around you. Because you know what I can make you double minded. If I make you double minded then you're not expecting anything from the Lord.  

Which means this Kingdom you could be holding it in your hand, in your heart and walking with it every day. But because you're double minded you don't get to enjoy the righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.  

So press on again, we've got to pay attention. You know, have you ever met people who say something that just makes you like, man, I'm about to lose myself. And then you just kind of like? 

You know, I have known for me, everybody here should know, and this is a good exercise for all of us as we go into the week. You should all know every single person should know when I'm here this is where the enemy usually likes to come and find me here.  

And you know how? You know too, it's usually a thing that you like to do where you find the most joy in, right. Making your body or you're eating and drinking.  

Right places where you like that's where usually the way to say, ok, this is how I can get you because I know you are vulnerable for me, I know it's always playing sports. That's where he gets me.  

So every time I go play with the over 40 group, I'm always watching and worrying and playing at close attention because I know before we get out of here or somebody is going to hit me with an elbow.  

Because he's trying to just get you. Quick story I'm with David and ZJ at traders Joe at Trader Joe's. We go into Trader Joe's, find whatever we need to find, we coming out and we're going home.  

I open the car door to put groceries in in the back. So you know how the door steps the car that's next to you. Now it was not a slam. It was literally because I was watching it. So it tapped it.  

There's no mark, there's no scratch. And unbeknownst to me, the person is sitting in there. She comes out and the way she comes out is like. She looks now she's looking at and she can't find anything because there's nothing.  

Then she went maybe 3-4 inches further down where the door was and said look at that. And I was like, ma'am. I am so sorry. She looked at me. She was like you're not. And I'm sorry. You are sorry. I was like, yeah, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't do that to anybody.  

I was like I am so sorry. Oh, she could not accept it. And you can see the more I say, I'm so sorry the more she starts escalating. So I have the keys in the car. You know the boys and I'm just like, ok, ma'am. I almost said ok, ma'am.  

What other words do you want me to use? Because that's the only ones I know to apologize to you. What? But then the Holy Spirit is like if you say that just stay on I'm so sorry. No, I am so sorry.  

I am so sorry, she could not hear it. And now you can see the car is full of everything, I'm talking of clothes, you name it, everything is in there. But again I'm saying that it's in those moments, right. Even though you might be right, even though you might be right.  

That's where the enemy says yeah, I can get you when you are, right. Not when you are wrong because when you are wrong, most of us, we are so quick to know that we are wrong because Holy Spirit will tell you and then you'll quickly apologize and say, no, I'm so sorry, but when you are right.  

Yeah, I'm going to get you. Because you have every right to argue your case. That's why Jesus says, hey, turn the other cheek. Not because you are weak, says because I know how the enemy can get you.  

So let's pay cause attention. Especially in places that we like and enjoy being. Romans 14:17 righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost seek you first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you. And we have to be constantly be renewed because we need to be in the Holy Ghost.  

We're going to pursue, we're going to continue on this on this journey we are on cause my desire, and for all of us is that the Holy Spirit be so prominent in us that they we are in step. 

You can hear him loud and clear, no mistaken in his voice that you are in step with him. That's where I want us to get to. Where your fears and your worries and your anxiety is pretty much just dissipated because you know and know and know.  

He is right here with me. That's the place where we want to go. Because if you walk in the Holy Spirit that way there’s no corrections. There's no coming back and fixing something that you did wrong.  

You know you kind of have everything ahead of time. That's where we want to be. That's why this is important to teach our kids, too, about the Holy Spirit. You've got to know him. That here he is speaking to me. Alright let us pray.  

Heavenly Father we thank you. We thank you that your love for us is unbelievably great. The scripture says we can't even understand the depth of it and how wide it is. So we just want to continue resting in that fact that you love us incredibly well.  

We thank you for everything that you have in store for us. Even things that you're preparing for next week, next month, next year, 2 years from now. So as we align ourselves with the future that you have in store for us.  

May our hearts continue to be wide open to hear to see touch, to feel, to experience that which is in this Kingdom. We thank you for the privilege of walking around carrying the Kingdom of God in our hearts. It’s an honor and a privilege. 

So we thank you for salvation. We thank you even for the ability to just gather on Sundays and talk about your Kingdom and the Holy Spirit present with us to illuminate, to adjust, to fix, to strengthen, to acknowledge, to give wisdom to that which you have given us as a gift. 

We thank you, Lord for what you're doing and what you're going to do. We want to continue working in expectation, knowing that you will meet and fulfill every single one of those. Let righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost be our portion and our advantage in living in this treacherous world. 

We are hearing too many numerous things but God we stand strong on Christ, the solid rock. And may you continue to hide us under the shadow of your wings. Send angels when we need help. Send others where we need help.  

The things we can do for ourselves send help that which we can do for ourselves, give us strength, determination, courage, boldness to do what we know is right, continue to bless our children and we'll continue to dedicate them back to you, old and young, grand kids, nieces and nephew.  

No man left behind. We commit them to you and continue to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit in helping them matriculate in this Kingdom. So years, from now we can hand over this Kingdom to them as they run their race.  

Bless our children. Bless their gifts and talents, nieces and nephews, their gifts and talents all accounted for. Nothing missing, nothing shot, no premature injuries or a death, but rather live long lives because we know they honor us and they honor you.  

We pray for this country. We know we possess the power in us to open up our mouths and challenge every demonic spirit that seek to invade the spaces that we are in and we keep it at bay because the Holy Spirit is walking with us. May we not be filled with anxiety because of what we hear. 

But rather continue to walk in peace and joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost now, as we go into this week, we give it to you. Walk with us and we bless you and honor you with all that you have in store for us in Jesus name, Amen, Amen. Thank you.
