Kingdom Wealth Reset - Implementation 1 Session

Guys, back here in Zoom. Hello. Hello. I want to officially welcome you into what I believe is going to be so far the best decision that you've made in January 2026. It's going to set you up. It's going to be, um, really pivotal for what the rest of your year looks like.

So, if you're here, just drop some heart emojis in the chat. Give yourself some love for showing up. I want to just show you guys what you have access. Look at all those hearts. So fun. I want to show you what you have access to being here in the Kingdom Wealth Reset. This is your beautiful Kingdom Wealth Reset dashboard. You will have access to this via email. This is probably how most of you joined. See that big blue button with a video camera? Join live. This is where you will go.

All of your five sessions that we have, your implementation sessions, it's going to be today, the 15th, the 20th, the 22nd, and the 27th. All of that you will have access to to subscribe to that calendar, which is the royal blue button second over on your dashboard. And on these calls, the focus is going to be very practical, hands-on to help you really implement the protect and earn components of Kingdom Wealth Formula. So, we know that it's one thing to be hearers of the word, but it's entirely different. It requires something of us to be doers of the word. And so that's what we're going to set you up for success to do here in these five implementation sessions.

And then we are going to really finish this thing off with a 3-day multiplication workshop the 29th, 30th, and 31st. It's going to be 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. And this is going to really help you master that multiplication component of learning different strategies, um, used by wealthy investors. And Rammy and Pedro are just going to come and they're going to give you everything, um, to help you navigate whether it looks like a flat or a down market, no matter what. Um, you'll be able to leave with the skills, the understanding to know, um, what that looks like to do next. So, you're going to want to make sure you mark your calendars even this far in advance for that. Carve out the time for that.

Okay, let me go back to our dashboard really quick. You want to make sure that you've completed this assignment one. There's a button right there on the left. Make sure that you get that assignment one done. And if you're here, maybe you've heard us talk about Kingdom Seekers and you're like, "Man, I didn't see that. I didn't say yes to it." Uh, and you want to do all year with us, prioritizing the kingdom, pursuing wisdom, and prospering in your life like never before. Upgrade to Kingdom Seekers. And then of course, we have a spot for you to submit questions. And just like your wisdom dashboard, you will have access to, um, all of the replays and everything here on this Kingdom Wealth dashboard. You can add things to your calendar and anything that you need as far as what to expect next, dates, times, it's all going to be here. So make this your go-to spot, your dashboard.

Um, drop in the chat for me before we go to Pedro. What is the one thing that you are so excited about saying yes to this Kingdom Wealth Reset in your life? In the chat, let me know why are you excited to be here? Why are you excited that you said yes to show up here intentionally for five sessions and then a three-day workshop? Let me know what it is.

To protect my money. To be in proximity to wisdom and wealth. Yes. Finally saying yes to me. Renewed mind. Learning how to be a steward of my money. To protect. Yes. Yes. These are all great reasons. Excited to learn, to build, to grow, to multiply money. Yes. Financial fitness so I can have freedom. I like that, Tracy. That's awesome. Finally stepping out in my kingdom calling. Financial fitness. I saw that one. Okay. Uh, to get the right knowledge. Claiming my knowledge and abundance, finding God's next assignment in my life, information to keep learning, mindset shifts, alignment. I know that you guys are going to find all of these things here. So, you should be so glad you said yes. Drop some fire emojis in the chat if you would. And help me welcome Pedro Ado, your mentor, financial expert, over 20 years of experience. Hello, Pedro.

>> Hello, Holly. Can everybody, can y'all hear me and see me? Okay. Yes. What is up? Welcome to Welcome to our first session in the Kingdom Wealth Reset. You're like, Pedro, what's going on here? I know. I know. I got this big table. I, I told you guys I've been prepared. I told you guys I've been prepared. I don't even know how this is going to work today 'cause I have like 30 hours of things. Things I probably want to tell you, explain to you, and show you, and help you see. And we have about an hour. So, I'm going to pray. We're going to pray because I'm going to really need God's guidance to focus and direct what's the most important thing for us today.

Um, I, I, I would just be remiss to acknowledge, um, I literally think that we got set up for the, we had the perfect kickoff today coming into this. If you have not, if you did not, if you've missed either yesterday or today, how many of you can see how yesterday with Pastor Mike and today with Pastor Bill was like a, this perfect one-two punch. This amazing one-two punch to get us prepared to really receive and go deep into this conversation from the right place, the right heart. Um, I am beyond excited. I was super moved today as you guys probably saw. I'm rarely speechless. I found myself speechless, not having words to say, not even wanting to talk, just wanting to like, sometimes when just like when the glory shows up, it's just like, dude, like just enjoy it, right? Like just let it happen. And so I believe that was a little kiss from God just to let him, let us know he's here. He's with us. And I believe God is pleased when we, uh, seek him. I believe God is pleased when his sons and daughters want to better know him, understand him, and his ways. And that's what you and I are doing here today.

So I have a lot to share today. Um, just a couple of final housekeeping things. One is, uh, if you haven't yet done so, after we're done today, assignment one is on your dashboard. Please do complete that. It is very important that that you do that for us to be able to customize and tailor this experience for you. How many of you know that not all of you are in the same place financially, right? Some of you are starting over, some of you are, uh, millions and millions, millions of dollars in in wealth and assets. Some of you are business owners, some of you employees, some of you looking for, some of you are unemployed. Like, there's people from all over the spectrum. And that's exactly how I want it. Okay? Because these, these truths are for anyone and everyone who wants to take them and anyone and everyone can apply these principles. The kingdom is about diversity. And so I, I celebrate and I, and I choose to be very inclusive of things I do to make it available to all those who want it.

With that said, there are, there are different conversations and deeper conversations that need to be had with some of you based on your situation. So, if you are, if based on how some of you answered your, uh, homework assignment, you may be receiving or already got yesterday a special invitation to a deep dive, uh, stock market focused conversation that's happening tomorrow. Okay. Now, um, again, we're starting to put people in different kinds of buckets so we can make sure that we offer timely financial information and wisdom for the people that actually need that piece of information. And so, um, one, if you haven't yet done so, complete assignment number one. Two, be on the lookout. Monitor your emails. We'll do a good job to make sure they are reset emails. Say reset because while we have these five core sessions, there are probably going to be one or two additional sessions that we mix in that are specific for specific groups of people to help you solve specific problems. Does that make sense? So, you're saying, Pedro, you're saying I'm getting even more than I paid for. Yes, of course you are. Of course you are. Of course you are. Okay.

So, um, with that, man, I want to get started today. I want to get started today. I'm going to say this before I pray. Um, what's up? You good? All right. Um, when the kingdom becomes your priority, success becomes your lifestyle. When the kingdom becomes your priority, success becomes your lifestyle. That is why we're here. That's what, that's why this makes sense. That's why this is the best use of taking some time aside. What is the point to spend 40 hours a week in a job or a career? Go all year long. Like the whole point of this is, the one of the main points of this is to succeed. And like most people don't know what they actually have to do to succeed and win. And and yet, like you're going to find out over these next just quick few weeks that by prioritizing the kingdom of God, success becomes automatic. Success becomes a lifestyle. Success becomes much simpler and easier because now you have positioned yourself to have all things being added unto you. If we can just have some honest conversation. Some, how many of you are just tired of chasing? You're just exhausted of chasing after money, chasing after opportunity, trying this, trying that. Like, Lord, where's my next, where is my next thing? Like, Lord, like tired of chasing. Well, the days of chasing are going to be over as you, as you listen, learn, and apply and heal and heal, uh, these next few weeks. And speaking of healing, Thursday we will be joined by my good friend Elise, who is, uh, she's, we've done so much personal inner healing together and she was, uh, help part of helping me establish our inner healing, uh, team and 100x. And many of you are going to come into unknown levels of freedom this Thursday, um, as we pursue getting our hearts healed from lies and financial trauma, as that have been holding us back. So, all right, you guys ready? You guys ready to go? All right.

Father, help. Guys, pray for me for real. Don't just pray, but like pray for me for real because I so want to serve you. I so want to serve you so well. Not just today, but in this whole thing. And I just feel the weightiness of, I feel the weightiness of this moment. And I really do want to show up and serve you. And there's, and I have way too many things I could share and I really do, uh, I'm asking to pray for us, but for me too, that like I would, God would lead me to just really, really bring today the most important thing. So Father, I thank you for everyone that's gathered here in the reset. And Lord, you just, you've just heard my heart cry. Heart cry to serve your sons and daughters well and to, uh, speak today the things that are on your heart and mine. Please have me share the things from your truth, from your kingdom, from your Bible, from your heart and from your mind that will absolutely transform them and shift them. I pray, Father, that today people will be ruined for the kingdom. And that they will come in, they'll have access and revelation to the kingdom like they've never had before. I ask Holy Spirit, come right now and begin to soften our hearts, prepare our minds and our hearts to hear and receive. Uh, just till up the soil. Till up the soil. Some of us are coming in a little bit, uh, frustrated. Life's been hard and so that maybe the soil of our heart is, is, heart is hard. So, Holy Spirit, please begin just to kind of till the soil, prepare our hearts and ears to hear and receive the gospel of the kingdom. That's what we're here to do today, Father. We'll get into the finances, the stocks, and all that stuff later. Today, right now, Jesus, we are here to discover you as King, as Lord. Yes, we thank you for being our savior, but today we ask for an encounter with King Jesus. We're asking for an encounter with Jesus, you as our Lord, as the owner of everything, as the King of Kings. I ask that Jesus, you would enter and fill this place, fill up this, this, this Zoom call that your presence as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We invite you, we welcome you. We ask that you would, uh, uh, be present with us as you guide and lead us into the truth about you and your ways and how your kingdom economy works. Father, we're here to understand the truth about how your government and your governmental system and your economy works. Speak to us clearly before, Father. Let this just cut through like it never has before and that it would change us from the inside out. Father, we just repent. We repent for thinking about money and wealth and resources like the world. Father, we just repent for putting our trust in money at times. Father, we repent for chasing after money and things when, when, when it was obvious to actually prioritize and pursue you. We repent, Father, for coming into agreement with the lies of the enemy in this world that you are not good, that you are not enough. That we have to provide for ourselves. That if it's going to be, it's up to me. Father, we repent for coming out of these lies and help starting today reveal even more lies that you want to break off of us so we can freely come and receive the goodness of God, the freedom that's available in you and your kingdom. Help us to become great and good and faithful servants and stewards of your wealth and your resources. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right. All right, my friends. Okay.

Um, I'm just going to start sharing a few things. I really don't know. Um, I don't really have a specific plan other than to, I, I don't have a plan, but I have a desire. I have a goal. I have an outcome I'm after. And my outcome is aligned with the kingdom of God. And my outcome is aligned with God's outcome. So, um, and my outcome is what we prayed. My outcome today is I don't want to just delude you in a bunch of principles and great teaching. I want to do the minimal level of teaching to allow you to encounter and experience the kingdom. So, um, that, that was an intentional focus and I'm sure the passion may show up at some time, but I also know that some of this to be received, it's going to need, I'm going to probably say things and then just let things sit for a second. Okay? Like this is, any one of these nuggets, any one of these principles has the ability to unlock all the other ones. How many know what I'm talking about? How many you guys saw that happen today? You got to unlock something, got unlocked in you. Something you heard unlocked something and then it, and then it, and then five or seven, 10 other things all now made sense. How many of you guys that happened today? Okay, that's the power of multiplication. And the kingdom is all about multiplication. So I don't want to rush past something that may be the very one thing that unlocks everything else. So when the kingdom becomes our priority, success becomes our lifestyle. Okay.

Now, Holly asked you guys to write, just to kind of do a quick thing in the chat, but here's what I'm going to ask us to do as part of setting our intention. I made a pretty big promise, um, uh, I made a pretty big bold promise and claim and a pretty bold guarantee for this experience. And so, I don't want to just, uh, I don't want to just pretend that I didn't make that. So, I'm going to need your help, though. And I'm going to, I'm going to want, uh, Karem, if we can have like a couple minutes of on the clock, two minutes of working time. I honestly sincerely want you to think about this and then put it in the chat the answer to this question. We're going to be together for the next couple of weeks. We've got these five live sessions and then we're going to have three days together, three half days, they're not full days, three half days together at the end of the month for the multiply money workshop. Our time in this reset will be over on the 31st of January. Here is my sincere question. Please consider this and answer as honestly as you can in the chat. What would have to happen between now and January 31st for you to honestly believe and feel and say that you got $10,000 of value from this reset experience? I want you to think about that because I said, like, I believe that that's, I, that that's my goal over these next few weeks. But every one of you is different. So I really want you to think not just like think honestly for what would have to happen between now and the end of the month when we would look back on these three weeks and you would say, "Oh my God, Pedro, you were not kidding. This was worth every bit of $10,000 or more." Karem, I want a couple, uh, minutes to think about it. It may help you think about specifically what type of dangers or risks may have been eliminated. What opportunities maybe would will have not have been captured or identified by you? Strengths maximized, whatever it is for you. But just a couple minutes, Karem, let's get the, let's get some working music. What would have to happen in these next three weeks, okay, for you to, for that to be true for you.

Hey, hey, hey. Is it? Hey, hey, hey. Give me a All right. All right. All right. All right. Okay. Keep, keep those dropping. My team will glean all those and that'll be very helpful for us to make sure that we are delivering and overd delivering.

All right, so let's jump in. Um, the kingdom. So just be prepared to take some notes, but I'm not, again, I'm not going to draw any notes. The kingdom is the number one subject of the Bible. I would write that down. The kingdom is the number one subject of the Bible. The Bible is a book about a king, a kingdom, and a royal family. The Bible is a book about a king, a kingdom, and a royal family. Which is should already reveal to you maybe why sometimes the Bible doesn't make sense. How many of you have ever read the Bible and parts of it just didn't make sense? Or you, or, or, or how many of you ever read the Bible and you're like, you knew, you, you knew you and you got something out of it, but you actually knew your spirit knew and something about you knew. You got something from that passage, but you didn't really get all that was there. You know, you're like, "Yeah, I know there's more here." And I, okay, well, let me. This is why the Bible is a book about a king, a kingdom, and and a royal family. And none of us, to my, if you, if most of us probably none of us here have any experience living in a kingdom. Most of us that are here probably live in quote unquote free countries, democracies. Most of us here probably live in a live in democratic countries where there's voting, whether there's parliaments and prime ministers or presidents and most of us probably live in some form of capitalism. So for your notes, democracy is not God's government. The kingdom of God is not a democracy. In a dem, in a democracy, the people vote and they can vote for who they want and they can vote out who they want. Guess what? No one's voting Jesus in and ain't nobody going to vote him out. He is king. Every vote could be against him. That ain't going to change anything. The kingdom of God is not a democracy. It never will be a democracy. It is a kingdom, which means there actually is a real king and that king has a real territory that he has dominion and authority and the influence over. None of us actually understand this. The reason why my mentor Dr. Miles Monroe, I believe, was used by God to to share so much revelation on the kingdom was because he grew up in the Bahamas. He grew up in the Bahamas, a colony of Great Britain. So he grew up in a colony that was colonized by a kingdom. And so he had actually, he had physical surroundings. He lived in a culture that understood a, a, a foreign land, a foreign power, a foreign authority, right? And so I think because of that, God was able to use him to understand and break down kingdom. And Miles Monroe is the greatest teacher of the kingdom of God in our generation. Now he's passed. He died in a tragic plane accident. But his pictures on my wall. I will forever keep talking about him. I to this day I still learn from Dr. Miles. He left a legacy for us on YouTube and his books. And so I will forever be honoring that contribution of his that man into my life. But most of, he had an advantage on us. He did the work. He did the work. He was really about the father's business studying and digging out. But the advantage he had was he, he was raised in a, in a colony. Okay? So a kingdom is not a democracy. And we're talking about kingdom economy today. King, God's economy is not capitalism. Capitalism is not God's idea of an economic system. Capitalism is not a God idea. Capitalism is a man idea. The kingdom is not capitalistic. Jesus was not a capitalist. Do not let these greedy, um, you know, greedy entrepreneurs and business people try to convince you that Jesus was a capitalist. He was not a capitalist because the kingdom is not capitalism. Now, he, he also was not a socialist or a communist. That's a lie as well. Jesus, the economy of heaven, the economy of heaven, heaven is a country. Heaven is a real place. It's invisible, but it's real. The kingdom of heaven is where God lives. Our Father who art in heaven. God lives in heaven. He's a spiritual being that lives in a spiritual realm. And for some reason, he wanted a physical realm. And that's Genesis. We're going to get into that, I think, maybe today. But the kingdom of heaven is where God lives. The kingdom of God is the systems and the culture and laws of God used to influence earth. The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are not the same. People think they're the same. They're not the same. The kingdom of heaven refers to a physical place. It's a real place. It's just invisible. Heaven is real. That's a real place. It's an invisible realm, but it's real. It's more real than this freaking table. Heaven is more real than this table. It's more real than this iPad. The invisible spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm. Why? Because when this body no longer works and it ain't no good, my spirit will still be here and so will yours. So the kingdom of heaven is, is God's domain, but the kingdom of God refers to a governmental system. And part of governments is economy. Every government has a form of economic system. And the economic system of heaven is not capitalism. It's not socialism. It's common wealth. Write that down. Common wealth. Well, Pedro, that sounds like socialism. Yeah, but it's not. Yeah, but it's not. Commonwealth. Commonwealth. If you read the book of Acts, you get a clue of this. It says in, I think Acts 2, it says that the apostles went from house to house. They gathered and they were, they were gathering at homes and and, and the people were bringing money, wealth, and resources and putting all of it at the feet of the apostles. All of the needs were met. It says that the, in the early church, nobody had any need because all of the money came in, the apostles managed it, and every, there was no need among the early church. It was a common wealth. That's not what we see in capitalism. Capitalism by definition creates rich and poor. By definition, capitalism will always create poverty. Capitalism only has a chance at working if it's yielded to the lordship of Jesus. Capitalism only has a chance at working if everybody in that society is yielded to Jesus, is yielded to the king and the Lord. If capitalism may only work in free markets when, when each of us are free from the spirit of mammon and corruption and greed. The minute one of us gets greedy and starts to cheat the system, then we all, then everyone starts cheating. Democracy only could possibly work if each of us was yielded to the lordship of Jesus. But because that's not the, that's not what we see. That's not reality. We've seen the perversion of both capitalism, the perversion of, of democracy, and America finds ourselves in a worse place than even some third world nations. It's become very clear that America might be in the most corrupt country on the planet. We talk about these third world dictators and all these dictators over there and dictators over there and that's, listen, there's some terrible, there are some awful dictators that have abused, abused and oppressed people for a long time and yet the more and more that we find out about what's happening here in our own country with our tax dollars is is an abomination. It is, it is abuse. It's abuse and corruption on the highest levels because the, America is the biggest economy in the world. And that's not a political statement. That's not, that's not a red or a blue. That's a true statement. I don't care if you're red or blue. What I said is true and everybody's in on it. So this is why we need to be careful as kingdom people not to put any of our stake, not to get too caught up in the systems of this world because they don't work. They've never worked and they're never going to work unless they are fully yielded to the lordship of Jesus. Okay?

So in a kingdom, there is a king. And here's the big difference. The king in a kingdom owns everything. Okay? So unlike a president or a prime minister, the president of America doesn't own America. Now, some people get upset with the current president because they feel like he acts like he owns everything. Okay, that, that is a thing. Okay. However, in the, the president does not own the country. A prime minister doesn't own the country, but a king of a kingdom le is the legal right for o rightful owner of everything. Well, Pedro, what do you mean everything? Like everything? Like there's a verse, I'm sure I'm going to read it somewhere here in my notes, but the, I think it's from Psalms. The earth and the fullness thereof belongs to the Lord. Is that not in your Bible? Well, where do you live? Where do you guys live? Do you guys live on the earth? Do, do you think you, when it's, when it says the fullness thereof, do you think that includes you and I? So the Bible says that God owns the earth and everything in the earth, everything above the earth, everything below the earth, you and I. The m, here's the big difference. Here's the big difference that we're going to talk about today. Most Christians only know Jesus as savior, but they do not know him as Lord. Or worse yet, they reject him as Lord. This is easy. Yes, please die for my sins. Yes, please die for my sins so I don't go to hell. Yes, please yield my life to you. What? Serve you as a master? What? Uh, no thanks. How about I get to live my life how I want on earth and then, and then you save my soul for eternity. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. But we cannot, we should not deceive ourselves to thinking that we can lay hold of any of the rights and benefits of the kingdom economy if we are not yielded to first the lordship of Jesus. Because if Jesus is not your king, he is not responsible to look after you. In a kingdom, the people are personal property of the king, which also means he has an obligation to take care of you. This is why Queen of Sheba marveled at Solomon. She goes, "The Queen of Sheba didn't could not understand why Solomon's servants, if the servants are in Gucci, the servants are in Louis Vuitton, the servants are dressed to the nines." She's like, "Wait a minute. How come the servants, they're not in rags, the servants look like they're rich, the servants are dressed like princes?" And that's what blew her mind. So a righteous, benevolent king always takes care of his kids, takes care of his subjects. A king is glorified when his people prosper. It's the glory of the king when you see how people live. And so the, the, what the, the, the beauty of coming under the kingdom is the minute you say Jesus, you are my Lord. You are my owner. The owner, the word Lord means owner. Well, guess who has to take care of stuff? The owner has to take care of stuff. Don't, do you own a house? If you own a house, don't you got to take care of your house? If you own a car, don't you got to change the oil, change the tires, put gas? So, whoever is the owner is the one responsible. Well, guess what? When we tell Jesus, "Hey, you can be my Lord. You can be the owner of my life." Now we're putting him, we are putting ourselves under his responsibility. In a kingdom, the king is responsible for the well-being of his citizens. Citizens therefore need not worry about provision. They should focus on representation. You are not just a child of God, son of God. You are also a citizen of a kingdom if you want to be. But you're either going to say yes to be under the lordship of Jesus and serve him as king, or you will try to set yourself up as your own king and create your own empire. And that is it. You're either going to, you're either going to say yes to Jesus as Lord, or you're going to want to become your own king and go take your shot and work in the world. And that's why many of us are exhausted. You are exhausted. Worn out from chasing, hunting what should be added to you. My bad. Sorry. We in the kingdom, we don't get tired because we're not chasing after anything when we, when we actually prioritize the kingdom. Matthew 6:33. Matthew 6:33. Listen, my friends, listen with your heart. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things shall be added unto you. What things? Water, food, shelter, clothing, the things that the pagans pray for, the things that the godless people pray for and obsess about. Why are you worried about those things? Don't, your father knows you have need of them. Don't worry about that. Don't chase after that. Don't focus on that. Instead, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. I, I am, I'm wanting you to let this change you. You know this verse, but knowing this verse has not been enough. But today, right now, as I'm saying this, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things shall be added unto you. This is the beginning. This is how you actually begin to enter into the kingdom economy. You say, "Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. I choose. I choose to receive you as my Lord. I make you my Lord. I make you my King. I choose to seek your kingdom first. Help me seek your kingdom first. Guide me into what does it look like to seek your kingdom first and your righteousness. It's my heart's desire to seek your kingdom first. To, to, uh, to seek your righteousness." God is pleased when we trust him and take him at his word. And none of us would be willing to do Matthew 6:33 without trust. This is why most of us don't do it. Most of us have trust issues. We don't trust God. We don't think he's going to come through because we've been let down before. But that probably wasn't God who let you down. We're either going to trust God or we're going to trust in ourselves. We're either going to trust God or trust in ourselves. Jesus said, "You can only serve two masters. You will love one, hate the other. You'll either put your trust and serve God, or you will serve mammon, which is a spirit that wants us to put our trust in resources and your ability to get them." This is the trap of the. This is, this is the trap of the entrepreneur. This is the trap of being a hard worker. We're supposed to be hard workers. I do work hard. I love my entrepreneurial spirit. But I don't put my trust in my hard work. I don't put my trust in my entrepreneurial gifts. My trust is in God who gave me the grace to work hard, who gave me those gifts, who gave me the talent, who gave me the power to get wealth. My friends, I'm inviting you to put your trust in the creator and the giver, in the person that gave you the power to create the wealth, not the wealth itself. And this is the battle. And I want to make it very clear as we open up this conversation. This is not easy to do. This is not easy to do. I, I, I refuse to be here as some holier than thou person and pretend as if I get this right all the time. I do not get this right all the time. But this is my aim. I get this right a lot of the time. And by the grace of God, I've got this right enough of the time to experience tremendous levels of success according to Matthew 6:33. And let me tell you, I've been far, I've been far from perfect. I can tell you this, that you don't need a perfect score to be ridiculously blessed and have an amazing life. Like God is so good. How I had this real, I had this realization today because Bill was talking about discipline. How many of you had to discipline a child or a grandchild? You were really upset with them. They kind of messed up big time. How many of you have ever had a child or a grandchild who made a really huge mistake, but you still fed them dinner that night? This is God. This is God. Like I'm telling you right now, this is not easy to do, dude. You're, you're going to blow it. You're going to make mistakes. But, but the goal is to catch yourself and get back on track.

Um, okay, a kingdom. There's a king. We have a king. His name is Jesus. He owns everything. Well, Pedro, if Jesus owns everything, what is my part to play? You are not an owner. Say that. I am not an owner. Say that. Type that in the chat. Say it. I am not an owner of anything. Well, Pedro, then explain to me if I'm not an owner, what's all this stuff in my house? What am I doing in this house? How the Well, because you're not an owner, but you are in fact a steward. Write this down. You are a steward. Stewardship. Steward. This is one of the c. This is one of the core. This is one of the core principles of the kingdom economy. Stewardship. Stewardship. This is one of the most important concepts. I would say Lord is another important concept because without Lord, without understanding his lordship, we don't understand stewardship. So here's the problem. The, the people, the people that don't have a revelation of stewardship, this just hit me and now I know why it makes sense. The people that struggle with understanding stewardship are also the same people that have not made him Lord. You will never understand stewardship until your heart has been yielded to lordship because until he's Lord, you, you're going to think you own everything. Yep. Here is why this is, here's why this is challenging. You cannot fake this. This is either real for you in your heart, in your mind, or it's not. You, you, we are, you're not going to be able to like, um, you're not going to be able to pretend your way. Fake it till you make it with this one. It's going to take a really heartfelt, sincere desire. That's why Bill was led to pray for hunger today. Bill was led by God to have us pray for hunger. Because for many people, the reason why they'll never apprehend and step into the kingdom is because they're just not hungry enough. Because the biggest problem, the biggest problem with most people is because they work hard, because they're disciplined. And this is my biggest fear for the Dave Ramsey crowd. My biggest fear for the Dave Ramsey people is because they've been so frugal and they've been so disciplined, they counted every penny that they've been able to make their life work, they will completely miss the kingdom because you can work hard, you can save your pennies, you can be disciplined, you can stop going to Starbucks, you, you, you, you can basically just be a miser and then make your, and then have your life work financially. You can die with dignity and never spent a minute in the living for the whole purpose of why you existed. And I honor Dave Ramsey. He's helped so many people come out of debt. But the problem is just because you have discipline to, to not overspend does not mean you've ever tasted of the kingdom of God. And I would rather, I'd rather have made a fool of myself and made a mess with money to discover the kingdom and realize that like there is another way to do this than have been perfect with all of my money and somehow go through life thinking I'm smart. I'm disciplined. Look what I did. Aren't I amazing? So stewardship, if he's Lord, then he owns everything and you're a steward. Now a steward is someone. Well, Pedro, what's stewardship mean? A steward is all about management. Management. A steward is a person who has been put in charge of another person's stuff. A steward is a person who has been put in charge of another person's stuff. If Jesus is your Lord, then everything that you possess belongs to him. Where are the mamas out there? Where are the nervous mamas and grandmas? The nervous Nellies? Like I'm married to a nervous Nelly. Constantly worried about our kids and grandkids. Like every two seconds check. If Jesus is Lord, your kids belong to him as well. Your grandkids belong to him. If Jesus is Lord, the spouse that you maybe can't stand right now, that drives you crazy right now, your spouse belongs. If Jesus is Lord, there's nothing you there's. If Jesus is Lord, the term my, if Jesus is Lord, the term my is illegal. The term my is illegal in the kingdom of God. You do not have a my. It's like, what? What did you say? What word is, what does that mean? We don't have that word. And yet we have been conditioned, my shirt, my car, my house, my life, my, my, my, my, my, my, my. I, I want this. I want to do this. I'm gonna go here. I, I, I, I. We have been conditioned to think and talk I and my and there is like, there's no, I don't get to do what I want out outside of I, I mean, I get to do what I want. I have free will, but I choose to not prioritize what, what I want above what my king wants because if he's my master, then he tells me what to do. Oh, well, I don't want to go to work today. He's like, well, last time I checked, I'm the master and today I want you to work. But today, Sunday. What about the Sabbath? I created the Sabbath. Pedro, today, son, I want your ass to work. Okay, got it. Sorry. If you have to remind Jesus about the Sabbath. How many of you it's starting to occur to you how foolish we have been? How many is starting to occur to you how just so oblivious and dumb we have been to the reality that everything belongs to him. We're breathing his air. We're the, the lungs in your body. He gave you those lungs. He gave you that heart. Everything is his. Nothing is ours. You and I didn't make anything. And the world and mammon and the devil want to convince you of your amazingness and how great you are and look what you did and look what you made and la. But because he is Lord and because he is king and because he's a benevolent king, he's not a dictator. God is not a dictator. Write that down. God is not a dictator. You know why the world? You know why the world doesn't want a king? Because they don't want a dictator. All they know is dictators. But God is not a dictator. He's a benevolent, loving father. A dictator oppresses the people for personal gain. God doesn't need anything from you and I. In fact, our God so loved, he gave, not he took. God's never taken anything from me. He doesn't need anything from me. Religion may have taken money from you, but not God. God don't need your money. Don't ever listen to a preacher or some nonprofit or someone tell you that God needs your money. No, he don't. They are lying to you. They need your money. God does not need your money. Either he owns it all or he doesn't. Either he owns the cattle on a thousand hills or he doesn't. Like, you ever notice how people just be lying about stuff? And because God owns it all, and because he's a benevolent, loving king, and because you put yourself under his lordship, now Philippians 4:19, God shall supply all of my needs according to his riches, not my riches, his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, who is king. See, people like to claim, people like to claim this and say this when they're short and behind on the rent, but you can't just say this if you're not living in alignment with the principles that make this happen for you. There are, like, my God shall supply all of my need. That's what hap, that's the benefit of being in the kingdom economy. But if you're not in the kingdom economy, if you are not in right standing, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. What is righteousness? Righteousness is being in right standing with the king. Following the laws and principles of the king, obeying the king, obeying the master. When you are in his righteousness, when you are in right standing, you are positioned to receive. You have legal right. Right standing. You have legal rights in the kingdom. You have rights. You have rights. You have rights to ask to be taken care of of your king because you're in right standing. But when you're not, but when Adam sinned and fell and declared independence, Adam declared independence. I don't want to, I don't want you as my king anymore. I don't want to listen to you anymore. I don't want you as my master. So Adam rejected him. He said, "No." He declared independence. I want to be independent of you. And that is a form of rebellion that it was treasonous. And so that is, so this colony of earth that was given to be controlled and managed by Adam. The colony says I want to be independent. And when a colony declares independence from its king and its in its country of origin, what happens is the governor, look at in history, what happens when a country declares independence from the o, from from the original country. The governor, the governor that was sent to that country to rule and oversee that country, that governor is evicted. That governor is kicked out. They send the governor back to England, back to Portugal, back to whatever country. And when Adam kicked out and said no to God, the governor left. The spirit of God, the presence of God left. The governor got kicked out. When you and I declare independence from God, the Holy Spirit is not, he's not living inside of us because we said we don't want your governance. We don't want to listen to you. We don't want to honor God. So, we're telling Holy Spirit. We're grieving the spirit. We're saying, "Nope. I don't want you to govern me. I want to have my own rules, my own ways. I want to be a man or woman of my own." And so, we kick out the governor, the Holy Spirit, our paraclete to guide and lead us into all truth. Righteousness. Righteousness. Another major, major theme. It doesn't say seek the kingdom of God or his righteousness. It doesn't say seek the kingdom of

God Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but righteousness on Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. It says seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. You cannot separate the kingdom from the righteousness. Okay?

First, first, first. This is the only place in scripture, my friends, that Jesus said, "Do this thing first." Here's some notes I have on. First, whatever you put first determines your environment. Whatever you put first, whatever you put first, whatever you set first, whatever you do first, determines your environment and has a huge impact on the rest of your day. Whatever is first in your life is your God. Whatever comes first, whatever you prioritize. Life is run by principles. And the first principle, the first principle of successful living is the principle of priority. Priority. This is part of wisdom, my friends, is to know what to do first. How many of you have ever felt overwhelmed? Overwhelmed. Too much to do, too little time. Do you know why you feel overwhelmed? I can tell you is because you do not know how to prioritize. You are at a you you you're unsure of what to do first. And because you're unsure of what to do first and the sequence, now you have become overwhelmed because you're not sure. Prioritization is the first principle of first principles of success. And Jesus said the priority above all first seek the kingdom. Priority determines your pursuit, determines placement and provision. Provision in the kingdom comes as a byproduct as a natural outcome of alignment.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me check in. How we doing so far? Okay. How we doing so far? Couple more things I want to say. More stuff on the kingdom. Jesus came to reestablish the kingdom. The kingdom is not just the kingdom is not just the number one subject of the Bible. The kingdom is not just the most important subject on the earth. The kingdom is also the only message that Jesus preached. Write that down. The kingdom is the only message Jesus preached. And the the great irony of this is in Christendom there are there are thousands and thousands of sermons preached every week and almost none of them are on the only thing that Jesus preached. You can go through entire seminary Bible colleges and never get an actual course on the kingdom. We have majored in minors and missed the entire point of the Bible. But that's actually by design. Why? Because religion, write this down. This this is going to this is going to step on some of your toes and cause you to question some things in your life, but that's a good thing. Religion is the number one hindrance to the actual kingdom coming. Jesus said, "Woe to you Pharisees. You do not come in the kingdom and you prevent the others from coming in. You put burdens on the people that you yourself are not willing to carry." He warned the disciples, "Beware of the leavenven of the Pharisees. Religion looks good on the outside. It's dead on the inside. Religion is the counterfeit of the kingdom. It's the counterfeit of the real God. It looks spiritual, but there's no substance. Brut of vipers. Jesus rebuked the religious people. He had grace for prostitutes. Jesus had grace for prostitutes, for lepers. He would rather hang out with lepers, prostitutes, and drunks than with the religious leaders. He said, "You guys search the scriptures. You guys search the scriptures because in there you think is the truth. And yet here I am. I am the truth, the way, and the life. I am the scriptures in flesh. I am the fullness of God in body in imagine being face to face with God and you can't see him because you're so blinded by words on a page then those words on the page are not helpful. If whatever you're reading blinds you to the God of the universe you have messed up. Whatever spiritual exercises you're up to that keeps you from seeing the real God is not worth it. Throw it in the trash. Burn it. And we're all more religious than we realize. We're all more religious than we realize. We're even I it I I hate religion. I I I I I hate religion. I work so hard to stay free from it. And there's still times I am still shocked how I'm more religious than I even realized still.

Now, Jesus did not come with a religion. He did not come with the denomination. What denomination would Jesus be if he was alive today? Have you ever wondered that there's 35,000 denominations? Have you ever wondered which of the 35,000 denominations Jesus himself would join? Because I guess I'll tell you what each one of them believes. Each one of those 35,000 denominations, they believe they're right and Jesus would join them. And I can guarantee you they're wrong. I can guarantee you they're wrong. He would not just join the denomination. He'd probably flip the tables in there. Jesus did not come to start a religion. He came to end religion forever. Please hear me. That's what the Bible says. He said, "It's finished. I'm done. I did it. I paid the price that nobody could pay. No more blood of animals. I've shed my perfect innocent blood to restore mankind back to fellowship with God. What Adam lost in the garden was the right to rule. He disobeyed God. And Jesus obeyed God perfectly. And we are now in right standing in and through him. He said, "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. You are now back in right standing with the father. You are now able to rule and to reign as a king, as a queen, as a son, and a daughter." But the enemy has perverted that and corrupted this. And now we're okay. just having nice church services when we're supposed to be ruling and reigning over everything. We're happy just having nice meetings and having nice Christian merch and Christian albums. We have been deceived. We have been stolen from. And I think you should say today enough is enough. I don't want to play church. Why are we playing church? We're playing church while we should be running and ruling the earth. I don't play monopoly anymore. I'm 51 years old. I'm buying real property. I'm developing real property. I'm influencing real people with real things. I'm not playing games. I'm not playing board games. I'm not playing pretend spiritual games. And nor should you. It's dumb. It's just dumb. Just It's just dumb. More than dumb. It's It's evil because you we only have one life to live. And people that will entertain you with silly religious games are stealing your life force, are stealing your days. You'll never get this time back. Jesus came. He said Luke 12:32, he said, "Fear not, my little flock. It's your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." If Jesus came to give us a religion, a denomination, a Christian church club, uh uh Christian DVDs, he would have said it. That's not what he said. It's the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. There's nothing else bigger or greater. If you got the kingdom, you have everything. He didn't say he came to give us a church and denomination. I give you the kingdom. The kingdom is God's gift. But to live in that gift, you must accept his government. Right now, America is being torn apart. over this issue right here. We are seeing this play out in real time. We live in a time where people want the benefits of something but are unwilling to yield to its authority. That is not biblical. That is not of God. If we want the benefits of the kingdom of God, we have to submit to the government of God. Sandra, it's taken my whole life to reach today. But at least we're here. You can only have one first. You can only have one first. God is a jealous God. God is a jealous God. Not because God God's not insecure. God's not insecure, but God loves you so much. He knows anytime you and I place anything in his seat of lordship, it will lead to death and destruction and peril and mistakes. He loves us too much to allow us to put anything in his seat of lordship. When we seek the kingdom first and his righteousness, all these things are added unto us. When we put things first, we will never have enough of them. We will never be satisfied. Ecclesiastes 5:10 says, "The eye is never satisfied with seeing."

Okay. A little more on righteousness. Righteousness is the culture of the kingdom. It's a lifestyle of the government of God. When we seek righteousness, what Jesus is saying, he's saying he wants us to seek the culture of the kingdom, the standard of the kingdom, and the king's way of life. And Jesus is the king of Pedro. How do I know what that looks like? It's found in the person of Jesus. He is our role model. He is our elder brother. He was the first born. Pedro, that's impossible. It is. And yet with God, all things are possible. Righteousness is not about perfection. It's about positioning. And how do you stay positioned? We try our best. We try our best to honor God to to live up to this insane standard. And we're going to fall short. When we fall short, we apologize. We repent. We clean up our mess. And we do better next time. This okay so far. Okay.

Couple last thoughts. Couple last thoughts. Um maybe just to kind of put a capper on on this um capper on this uh for today and then we're going to pray some more and I'm going to have you guys share some shares. But I already talked about God. The Godhead was in the spirit realm in the in heaven. And then of course God summoned wisdom, right? Didn't God summon wisdom? And then God created the heavens and the earth, right? God creates the heavens and the earth. God for some reason has the idea to like have a physical realm. God creates the heavens. God creates the earth. He creates God makes everything from dirt. Everything makes God makes from dirt. Horses, animals, the flowers, the plants. All of what he made from dirt does not get to fellowship with God. But the but he made man, male and female, in our image. He made man, male and female, in his image, in his likeness, took dirt of the earth and breathed his spirit into us. So we are human man. We are a spirit body. Humus, right? That's right. Humus. Human. Like we are a spirit in a dirt body. This is why man was made on the sixth day. The six, the number six is in Hebrew represents the number and letter of the vav. Vav, it is a hook. It's like a tent stake. And just like a tent stake, a peg ties two things together, man ties two worlds together. Man is heaven touching earth. You are God and you are dirt. You are spirit and you are from You are spirit and you are dirt. You are from earth and you are from heaven. God, we were God's idea to connect to make sure heaven could touch earth. Then God put Adam in charge. Then God put it looks like this. It's like a hook. Vob can look it up. Then God put Adam in charge. God put Adam in charge to rule to reign co-air to rule with him. God wanted the family to rule with him. So when Adam, now understand this, this is going to come in handy next week. God did not want robots. God wanted us to have free will. Now God knowing that when he gave us free will, what happened? What got introduced to the world? Risk. If God gives you and I free will, what are we now free to do? Make our own choice. To make a mistake. Vav, the number, it's the number, but it looks like this. Vav. God gave us free will. If he gives us free will, we can make a mistake. We can choose to not obey him. We could choose to not follow him. And if we disobey God, that's called sin. Sin. We've all been told that sin means missing the mark. It does mean missing the mark, but it also means rebellion against authority. And we know that the wages of sin is death. God said, "If you eat of this tree, you will surely die." Now, the irony is they ate of the tree and still lived 900 more years. But the minute they ate the the tree, they died where? On the inside. They died on the inside. They they they lost the right to rule. They lost the spirit of God. They lost And they died. They were spiritually dead from that moment on. You can live 900 years and be spiritually dead. And it says in the Bible that in the fullness of time, Jesus has to come back. Now, if we look in Genesis, we find out so much there. We there's a lot there that we can impact, but basically God's like, "What happened? What' you do?" Right? Adam blames the woman. The woman blames the serpent. And then God says, right, then then all of a sudden God says like he tells the serpent that he'll be crushed by his heel will be crushed, right? The seed of the woman will crush his head. But here is the here's the wisdom and beauty of God. Before God made us and gave us free will, what did he do? In Revelation, it says this. It says, "The Lamb was slain before the foundations of the earth." Write that down. The lamb was slain before the foundations of the earth. God loved you and I so much. He wanted to give us free will, but had the wisdom to know that in giving us free will, we could make a mistake. We could not choose him. we could disobey him and that would mean that we would be forever separated from him. And so before God ever created us before God ever made it, before God ever allowed it to be possible for him to be separate from us, the lamb was slain before the foundations. So write this down. God always protects before what he creates. That's why next week we're going to talk about protection first as part of the kingdom wealth formula because God if we're going to think and operate like God when it comes to money, wealth, resources, and our what we have created, we first must protect. So God protected before he created. However, sin is sin and the price must be paid. So what happened? God is just. Write this down. God is just. Some of you, because you've been in pain, like I was in pain. Some of you, because we're in pain, we've made poor financial choices, we start praying to God and ask God to do things. But many times, if we're just being honest, we are asking God and we're praying what I call illegal prayers. Do you know there are prayers that God cannot answer? There are prayers that violate. There are many Christians pray prayers that violate the very nature of God, God's nature, his system. People are praying prayers to ask God to violate his own character and violate his own nature. He will never do that because if he did that, then he'd be a liar. So God is just. He's also merciful but just. So here's what happens. In the fullness of time, Jesus has to come back. He has to come back. Jesus has to be fully God, but also fully man. He has to be he has to be born of a woman because that's what he said. And so he was born of a woman. However, did you know this? Most of you, how many how many mamas in here? How many mamas in here? Do you know that God had the wisdom? Do you know that God had the wisdom to create the birthing process and the womb and the uterus and all this stuff? Do you know that the blood's ba that the blood of the baby never actually mixes with the blood of the mother? Did you know that? Did you know that the b the blood of the baby never actually gets mixed with the blood of the mother? God had the wisdom. And it's you're like, "Well, why did God do that?" Because God knew he might need to send his seed. God knew he might need to send his seed, his son, into a woman. And he would need to have pure, undefiled blood. And so, his blood could not touch or taste or be influenced by the blood of Adam because then that blood is tainted and has to pay its own sin. Jesus had to live a perfect life because if he had to pay for his own sins, he cannot pay for yours and mine. Don't believe these the these backsliding lying Christians who are deconstructing the Bible. Oh, Jesus had a girlfriend. Who cares if he had sex at Mary Magdalene? Maybe that. No, you're an idiot. You're a fool. Jesus had to live a perfect life or his blood does not cover my sin. Don't believe these stupid ass people. They don't know the word of God. They're deceived. They're hurt. They got hurt by some pastor. They got hurt by some ministry. I don't know how they got hurt, but not my problem. They should just shut up and get healed. Stop trying to teach me your lies. God had the wisdom to know he might need to send his son and he would need to not have his blood defiled. And so it was that blood that was shed once and for all to pay the price of sin to bring us back. Sin has been paid for. It is finished. It is done. We can approach the father again. It's game on. We're back in business with God. And all of creation is crying out for the sons of God, you and I, to take our rightful place to rule and to reign. And and as we've seen in the parable of the miners and so many others places, God is connecting our ability to understand money, wealth, and resources to the assignments he will give us on the earth. So as I close today let me start to just kind of how can you how can how can you bring how can we make this practical one is I would just encourage you to start declaring over your life to start just as you pray and as you meditate start declaring over your life start declar I think I have a declaration here that I might have us read. Let me see. A declaring over your life that you want the kingdom first, that Jesus is Lord. It's gotten popular right now to say Christ is King and He is King. But I would also say don't forget to say Jesus is Lord. Um the thing I would I feel led to share is trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust. We're not going to be able to apprehend this kingdom realm if we do not trust God. It's we this is like trust to to to trust him. And this is why God sometimes allows us to go broke. This is why sometimes all them prayers I pray, God, please don't let this building go. Please don't let this house get taken. God, please don't let this car get repossessed. Do you know how many times I prayed these prayers? I prayer walked my neighborhood. I prayed in tongues for 30, 40, 50 minutes, 3 hours praying for God to not let something be stripped and there it went. So, I've had to learn the painful lesson that God does not care about my possessions. He cares about possessing me. He He cares about possessing you. And if there's possessions that are possessing you, he has no problem allowing life and your choices to see those walk right out your life. And it's all about trust, my friends.

Okay, lots more I could share. I don't want to open up any anything new. He really is good. He is a good father. He's also a king. His e his economic system is different. In fact, it's completely upside down. Let me just end with this one last thing. Okay, you guys. Okay. Can I can I can I just can I do one last thing? Okay. How many of you I'll make this real practical and then we'll end. Has this been helpful so far? How many of you feel a freedom? There's a freedom coming to your spirit. There's a freedom coming. How many you are coming out of the freedom of bondage? You don't have to be self-sufficient anymore. And doesn't mean there's not work to do cuz we don't we don't get to be just lazy people in the kingdom. But in the kingdom, we don't work for money. Actually, write that down. In the kingdom, we don't. I don't work for money. I do not work for money. You should not work for money. Working for money is a terrible idea. Actually, that sounds like toil. And that was a curse from Adam. Adam was cursed to toil. Jesus broke the curse off your life. Jesus broke the curse of toil. Work is no longer toil. You no longer have to work by the sweat of your brow. All of the curses in the garden, Jesus paid for. He became accursed. Man ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Jesus was hung on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Man had to work and thorns and thistles and sweat of his brow. Jesus took on a crown of thorns. He broke the curse. Every curse in the garden. Everything we lost in the garden. every curse of the garden. He broke, paid for, and redeemed and restored and put us back into right relationship. So, you're like, Pedro, but I am tired, but Pedro, I do work for money, but Pedro, everything you're saying not to do is what I'm actually doing. Like, well, that's okay. You just didn't know what you were doing. It's okay. It's fine, right? Like, you just It's okay. That's why you're here to learn. No blame, no shame. H I didn't know either. I didn't know either. I was raised by Portuguese immigrants. Hard work, work hard, save your money, invest, go to work, work, work, work. It's all up to me. Work, work, work, hoard, work, hoard, save, hoard, prepare. But Pedro, three days ago, you said, "Be like an ant." Yes. This is this is this is where we have to have the maturity and the wisdom to understand it's not one or the other. It's and this is this is both and. But we don't work for money. So then if Pedro if I don't work for money, what do I work for? You work to be found faithful. You work as part of the promise of Matthew 6:33. How do you think you're going to seek you first the kingdom of God and righteousness? You're going to do that through work. You're going to do that through work. You're going to find a way to seek the kingdom and his righteousness and establish the kingdom. Because you can't just seek and never find. Don't There are people who are always seeking and never finding. Do you know why? Because they don't want to find. Oh, Pedro, I've been seeking so long. I haven't found it. No, I just, my friend, I love you, but no, you're actually not seeking to find. There are people that just seek and because they want to believe they're seeking, but they never are finding because they don't want to find because if they actually found it, they have an obligation to steward it. And that's why many people confess confusion. I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. I'm so confused. You know, people that they're always confused. No, it's because they want to be confused. Because if they say they're confused, they don't feel bad not doing anything. No, you're not confused. You just are uninspired. You just don't have a vision. You just don't know what you're supposed to be doing. You're not confused. How can you be confused? God told us what to do in Genesis 1. Be fruitful, multiply, rule, reign, have dominion, expand my kingdom. It's in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible. He didn't hide it. He didn't hide it in the middle. be fruitful, multiply, have dominion, rule and reign, represent me on earth as it. So that's how we work in according with Matthew 6:33. I don't care if you're a bus driver, a school teacher, a scientist, a chemical engineer, a rocket scientist. I don't ahome mom. I don't care what you do. And honestly, God don't really care that much either. All he cares about is who are you serving when you do it? Who are you representing when you do it? What kingdom are you establishing? Mine or the or or the other team? But let me just give you one last quick practical thing. How many of you have heard of this this the study of Maslo's Maslo's hierarchy of needs? How many of you heard of this this study? This researcher studied this and he wanted to know what are people what is the hierarchy of needs. Let me get this to you real quick and then we're going to wrap up. I know I went a little over today. I'm sorry, but um if you had if you had to drop, you can always catch the replay. Um okay, number one, you guys want to guess? Number one human need according to Maslo scientific research. Number one, number one, number one is water. Okay, probably not that hard to guess. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Number one, water. I guess air could have been on the list, but you know, air. You know, air is air is readily available. Thank you, Jesus. Readily available. Okay. Number one human need is water. What's number two? You guys know what number two is? Number two uh is what? Food. Food. Food. Number three. And these are in order of what? Priority. Priority. Once people have water and food, you know what they need next? Next, they prioritize is shelter. I need a place to live. I need shelter and safety. They want to pro they want to protect themselves. They want shelter. Okay. So, this is an order of priority. This is what Maslo studied. This is what people this is how people this this is the hierarchy the priority of the human needs. Number four once people have water enough water to drink and fut once they have a place to call home and they feel somewhat safe now they begin looking for connection community. Now they want to now they want to kind of find friends, hang out with people. They want to have a sense of belonging. And then you know what comes next? Once they have these five, the next thing they want is now they want to feel significant. They want to feel significant among their community. They want status. They want to feel important like their life and their work matters. But at the top the thing that comes if you do all these other things then maybe just maybe you get to experience what Maslo called selfactualization. What does that mean? This is now when you find your purpose. You now have meaningful and fulfilling fulfillment. You be you feel fully alive. This is what Maslo's research determined the priority of human needs. Human want water first, food next, then shelter and clothing and safety. Then they want connection to other people. Then they want to feel important and significant. And then once they have all those other sub needs met, now they want to find meaning and purpose in their life. Well, can I tell you there was another economist that walked the earth, the greatest economist ever known to mankind. His name was Jesus. And Jesus has a different idea. Jesus has a different idea. Jesus said this in Matthew 6. Matthew 6:5, "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, so that they may seen by men. Assuredly I say to you, they have their reward. But when you pray, go into your room when you have shut your door and pray to your father who is in the secret place. and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And verse seven, and when you pray, do not use vain repetitions at the as the heathens do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Verse eight, therefore do not be like them. For your father knows the things you have need of before you ask him. In this manner, therefore, pray, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Your kingdom come." Guys, we're only one line in Jesus's model prayer. We're one line in. And the kingdom is already right here, straight and center. The core focus of this prayer after after acknowledging our father, after acknowledging he's in heaven. After acknowledging he his name is hallow. He's the God. He's creator. Boom. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Give us our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen. And then we come on to verse 25. Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life. Don't this is Jesus economic policy. Look how it's different to Maslo. Maslo's number one. And he studied people. Humans. Humans number one priority is water and food. Here comes Jesus. Great economist. Chief economist of the Commonwealth Kingdom economy. Our king, our lord says says, "Wait a minute. Don't worry about your life, what you will eat or what you drink. Well, there goes number Jesus just took out number one and number two. Don't worry about what you drink. Don't worry about what you're going to eat. Don't worry about your water or what you're going to wear. Just clothing. Is not life more than food and your body more than clothing? Like he's like, "Are you crazy? Why would you worry about these things? This is the number one number two things every people reported was their number one concern." He's like, "That's silly. Look at the birds of the air. They don't they don't sow. They don't reap. They don't gather their bark. And yet your heavenly father feeds the birds. Are you not more valuable than a bird? Which of you by worrying can add a single cubit to your statue? Why do you worry about clothing? Look at the liies of the field how they grow. They neither toil nor spin. And yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothe the grass of the field which today is and tomorrow is thrown in the oven, will he not much more clothe you? Oh you of little faith. Therefore, do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear? For after all these things things, for after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." My friends, let me close with this. You and I have a decision to make. You can act like mere mortals. You can act like a mere mortal. And you can chase after water, food, and clothes. You can go work by the sweat of your brow to go work and chase all of these things. Or you can follow, the imitation of the Lord and do the most important thing first. Look how the world system is upside down and the kingdom is right side up. Can my iPad crib? Look how the most important thing if we seek the kingdom the purpose of your life and my life is to bring the kingdom to represent the father. You and I are ambassadors from a foreign land. We are from heaven sent by heaven. We will our spirit will return and we are here to colonize this place called earth. And so the purpose of my life and your life, why God made us was to rule and to reign as his sons and daughters. So look at how look at the world says go work hard, chase after money, to buy water, buy food, buy clothes, buy shelter, go buy fancy things to feel important, go get fancy degrees to feel important. Go chase after significance in this world. Or you could pursue and seek after the kingdom. And if you do this, if you do this, I will add all of this. I have found significance in my life, my friends, because I sought the kingdom first. I have found connection, community because I have amazing friends. We have an amazing community. All of you are here. Amazing, lovely people. Why? Because we sought the kingdom first. clothes, shelter, homes, houses, property, food, water. Yes, of course. Of course, of course. So, that is my invitation to you today as we close. I'm inviting you to come out of agreement with the world system of toil, sacrifice, and I'm inviting you to follow God's economy. Work unto the Lord. represent God. Seek his kingdom. Seek to make his kingdom known. Not just, this is not about evangelism. This is about you taking your authority, taking your influence. Everywhere you have influence, make it look and feel like the kingdom. Establish the kingdom. Establish the kingdom in your heart, in your mind, then with your money, then with your family and your friends. That's what this is about. The kingdom is inside out. It comes in seed form. Today and Thursday is all about getting the kingdom of God inside of you because if it doesn't get inside of you, it won't come out of you. So the whole point of today was just to expose you just to the just to some uh just a deeper understanding of this kingdom and God and it's the it's the it's the good it's God's good pleasure. It's the father's pleasure to give you the kingdom. Will you receive it today? Will you receive it today? How many of you want to receive the kingdom of God? How many of you want to receive the kingdom of God? It's God's pleasure to give little He said little children, it's God's pleasure. Then just then just let's stretch as we as we wrap up, let's stretch out our hands. Let's stretch out your hands. Open your heart. And let's just declare, let's just declare this. Just declare this just to say, "Father, I receive your kingdom, Jesus. I make you my king and my Lord. Today, this day, I choose you, King Jesus. I put my trust and faith in you. Guide me, Jesus. Lead me. Teach me your ways. Teach me your ways. I just release to you the stress and worry of this world. You are a good king who takes care of his citizens. and I place myself under your care. I place myself under your responsibility. I trust you to provide for my needs and to take care of me. As I honor you as King, as I honor you as Lord, and as I do my part, as I seek to establish your kingdom realm on the earth. Thank you, Father, that this was your idea. This was your idea for mankind. Thank you, Father. Thank you for loving us, Father. I thank you, Father, for forgiving us for being led astray, for falling for the schemes of this world. Forgive us for falling into the the the the folly of religion and for settling for spiritual recreation when you've called us to govern and to rule and to reign. Forgive us for playing silly games, silly spiritual games to impress each other when when and and we repent. I mean, forgive us, Father, for for going our seats of authority. Forgive us, Father, for being negligent of of of ruling and reigning and and allowing this world to go to places. There are people who are suffering tremendously because we were just negligent of o listening to you and obeying you. Forgive us for saying no to your invitations to step up into places of authority and responsibility. Forgive us, Father, for not leaning in to your subtle voice when you were guiding us and leading us. And forgive us, Lord, when we were too afraid to say yes to your instruction, to your invitation. Forgive us, Lord, for not being willing to come outside of our comfort zone because we want to trust in our own ability. We want to trust in our own stuff and our ability. And forgive us, Father, for trusting in our stuff, which is not our stuff anyways. Forgive us, Lord. We repent. We repent. We repent. We change our hearts. We change our minds. We turn away from thinking like the world for thinking like other people for acting and believing and putting our faith in this world's corrupt financial systems and systems of power. Forgive us, Lord. We repent. We repent. We come out of agreement with any of that thinking and those ways and that lifestyle and we say yes Lord to your kingdom. Let your kingdom come. Father God right now in Jesus name. Holy Spirit come and just crash in on this room. Crash in on these people here. Holy Spirit, come and just literally rewire our minds to understand and think kingdom. Rewire our minds, heal our hearts to come into alignment with your kingdom realm, the culture and the principles that we would rewire our minds to think kingdom first. Break off just poverty thinking, corrupt thinking, per greed, pride, self-sufficiency. We break this off. We cast it off. How many of you can see how disgusting this is? This is vile. How many of you are now seeing how vile and disgusting it is to reject to reject the goodness of our God and put oursel in his place? We reject this and we come out of agreement. And we thank you, Lord. And we know that yes, we have a part to play. We have a part to play. We have assignments here on earth. And that we get to partner with you and be part of this economy and part of this kingdom as we honor you and as we work unto righteousness, as we work unto the Lord, at Lord, give us the energy and the desire and give us the vision. give us the uh um just give us what we need, Father, to just get in the game and to get going. We thank you, Lord, for this reset. This was your idea. And Father, I pray that this would be a reset for me as well. A reset for me. Take me higher, Lord. And every single person here, that's their heart cry. Reset our hearts to your heart. Reset our mind to your mind. Reset us to the original design for mankind. We were never designed to provide for ourselves. We were always designed to live freely under your rule, under your care, and to co-rule and to co- reign. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. More Lord. More Lord. More Lord. More, more, more, more, more Lord.

I know we're going to have I know we're going to have a dedicated time of inner healing on Thursday, but we can start the healing now. Father, just reveal to your sons and daughters. Reveal to them things that have been hindering them. Things that have been hindering them, Lord. If you're if if God's ministering to you, let them do that. But for those of you that just feel like you definitely heard something or felt something, just begin to put in the chat. Begin to put in the chat what you've heard, what you felt, what's happened for you today, what has happened for you today in this in this very first day. We've got we've got four or five more sessions to go. We got four or five more sessions to go. We're just getting started. But what is God saying to you? What are you feeling? What are you experiencing? What's happened for you in this very first day? Freedom. Yes, freedom. The kingdom is about freedom. I'm on my phone. My laptop died, so I got my Yes. Freedom. Clarity. More clarity. Freedom from chasing money. Love it. Self-reliance broken. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Yes. Yes. Keep dropping that in the chat, my friends. We're going to wrap up. We're going to wrap up. But just let me know what God did. Let me know what God did. I know we took a few I know we took a couple hours to be here. But will you let me know in the chat? Was this worth the time? Was this worth the time? Was this worth the time? You being here today? Let us know. All right. Love it. Love it. Love it. So much happening in the chat. Love it. Awesome. Okay, my friends. All right, here's what we're going to do. One is we're just getting started. I have probably three times as many things to share as I would got to share. I'm going to be weaving in some of these important kingdom concepts and principles throughout our time. This is definitely not just a oneshot deal. I wish it was. I wish I could just have a kingdom shot I could give you. Um, but I h I have continued to to to take in and listen and read and pursue the kingdom for my gosh the better part of what 12 13 14 years now. And so um I will keep to I'll keep weaving this in and bringing these points back and helping us go deeper. Um, let me remind you about assignment number one because this will get increasingly practical as we move on. Okay, this week's all about foundations. Next week is very practical. Okay. Um, assignment number one will help us with that. And then again, for many of you, keep an eye on your email and text. You may have been invited to like a a special presentation tomorrow. For those of you that may have a substantial amount of wealth or your wealth in the stock market, we have a special deep dive stock market presentation happening tomorrow. And um Thursday, we're going to be here with my good friend Elise. is going to walk us through an inner healing session um aimed at really exposing, revealing, and healing financial wounds and traumas and anything that the enemy has been using to hinder you and steal from you. We're also going to be doing some um we're going to actually be doing some some uh I'll just save it for I'll save our Thursday, but Thursday is going to be incredible. Now, I know we've been here for a couple of hours. if you've got to go, please feel free to uh to leave. However, I just just I would just want to hear a few testimonies. I don't know, Holly, if you're still here. Um I I just have to think that a lot of things happened today on this call for people. I'm not talking about just sharing notes of things that were said. I'd love to hear from some of you that you just had an encounter with God. You received the kingdom today. I just want to let you testify for those of you that came into the lordship of Jesus Christ today. You came under his lordship. You received the kingdom. You've said yes to the gospel of the kingdom. All of you probably have said yes to the gospel of salvation, right? The gospel of salvation. We love salvation. That's how we get in the kingdom. And yet there is the good news. The gospel, the one that Jesus preached was the gospel of the kingdom of God is now available. And so Holly, I'd love just to just just for those that can hang out a little bit longer that want to
