The Process of Entering The Kingdom | Dr. Myles Munroe

foreigner, but one of the things I wanted to talk about today is how you enter the

kingdom

of God and what is the focus of this whole

process

of

entering

the

kingdom

of God, what is done to enter the kingdom of God and how it works. First I want to talk a little bit about the Bahamas in this series and I'm also going to talk a little bit about the United States because I think the examples are great. The Bahamas' number one industry is tourism and the Bahamas has more. 5 million tourists who come here every year we are only around 300,000 people, which means more people come to us than live here we are the most successful tourist country in the entire region no other country in this region receives so many We received tourists on these small islands last week.

I was invited to speak at the Tourism Association conference and there were over 15 government tourism ministers in that auditorium and there were over 600 or more professional tourism directors from over 30 countries who were present and I spoke to them about it. of innovative leadership in tourism and as I was sitting there it struck me that many of those countries are bigger than us and yet we are the most successful at attracting people to our nation, bringing in over a billion dollars every year. to this great country of ours only through tourism, we are not talking about banking, which is our second industry, nor boat registration, which is our third industry, nor even fishing, which is our Ford industry, we will talk about people who They come here to give their resources.

For us, why is the Bahamas so successful? In fact, I want you to think about something. Why don't people come to Jesus and the kingdom of God the same way they come to the Bahamas? Why aren't there five million people? They come to church every year, why are they more excited to come to the Bahamas than to come to God? Why are they willing to spend an average of $200 per night per room, not including taxes? So an average vacation is about fifteen hundred dollars a week for a couple. uh why would they give that amount of money to the US?

What brings you here? I want you to listen carefully because I'm going to show you why people don't want to come to God but they want to come to the Bahamas. Our success is due to you listening to me carefully. I'm going to give you a revelation. The reason we have five million tourists coming to the Bahamas every year and that's growing over the years is because we don't advertise or promote the prime minister. Now my sermon ends. I've finished now. If you want people to come to your country, don't advertise to the government. Don't preach how good the Prime Minister is.

Do not describe the prime minister or president of your country. don't make yourself famous for their personality and their character, don't describe their lifestyle to them, people don't come here because of our prime minister, most of them don't even know him, they know him when they arrive, when I was in Trinidad for the week As soon as I arrived in Trinidad there was a massive photograph of the Prime Minister at the airport and next was the governor's preacher. I didn't know who he was if he was a tourist until I got there. I saw who was in charge after I got there.

I was on the field and then I found out who the leader was. Why is this so important? Matthew 6 33 is our foundational topic for this series. Jesus said that the first thing a human being should seek is what the kingdom is. of God and his justice that means that God's priority is to seek first his kingdom and notice what he says and there are some benefits when you seek it all of this what things will be added to you I found it very interesting that before Jesus invited you to come to the kingdom he told you about its benefits he tells you why you care but you will eat what you will drink what you will wear how you will live what you would drive in other words he took care of the things that drive you he took care of your interests first.

He says: I know you want food, clothes, car and house. He wants something to live on. You want to look good. You want to feel good. You want to eat well. He says. I know what he said. After he says that all of this is in this Kingdom, can I say something that may be a little theologically dangerous? I have done this often. He never said: Seek me first, Jesus Christ. I want you to think about that if we put in our premium. photograph of the minister in his biography in his profile in all our tourism advertisements no one will come here they do not want to meet him those are not his interests he never said look for Jesus first he did not say that and yet the church the religious the people the Christian people continue to sell to the preacher the prime minister they keep promoting the president they keep telling the profiles of how good he is and that's why people are interested there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world and they need Jesus they are not interested in 600 million Hindus in the world and counting they need God is not interested, that's why they collect six million of them, six million gods, the reason is that people are interested in the head of the country, look first for what the kingdom is, the country, he says, and if you look for the country, all these. things he knows that you and I want everything right here's a picture of the Bahamas look I took it myself oh that's very attractive and if anyone is in Canada now in the snow and sees that come on talk to I have zero degrees and they see a tropical ocean, blue waters, white sand, pretty red hibiscuses in December, that's why they come here, you don't show them a photo of the Prime Minister, that's why we have so many expats who want to live here, that's why one of our industry most Largest and fastest growing right now in the Bahamas is that of third party property owners.

I hope you realize this; In other words, more people who don't live here are buying our land because they want to move here because there is better here than where they are from, why the hell would Saul Krishna, the owner of Atlantis, start a project and sell an apartment with one bedroom for seven hundred thousand dollars and it is already 40 percent sold and two bedrooms costs 1.10 million and that is almost welding why would people do that because they live on the beach average temperature 75 degrees we tell them ocean full of fish pure, fresh and clean without contamination that is what we sell you we sell the hospitality of beautiful people with good attitudes we do not I am not selling you the prime minister, listen to me, people do not come to a country because of the leader.

I tell you this, write this down, look at what we sell, this is our tourism quote, this is what's getting better in the Bahamas and So once you say it's better in the Bahamas. What do we sell? We do not sell out to the Prime Minister. We sell what the sun, the sand, the clear waters, the blue skies, the warm people, good food, in fact, here is the bottom line, the secret to attracting visitors. or investors or citizens is to promise them the lifestyle the benefits and the environment of the country this eye people do not come to God we keep selling them the leader oh boy it's going to be difficult now Jesus was never preached to the crowds go back and read your Bible the kingdom of God is like the kingdom of God is like he kept finding every example he could use of what the kingdom is like he says it's like a great banquet he says a king was giving for his son I mean think of the picture in your mind of a banquet given by a king for his son, you are talking about golden carpets, silver walls, silver spoons, golden cups, all the foods you can eat, grapes, wine and cheese, you are talking about fresh meat, you are talking about a palace . you are talking about land with beautiful trees in other words, he sold you a photo, he said the kingdom is like a king and welcomes you to a big banquet for his son, oh I want to go to that, he never says the kingdom of God.

It's him, in fact, he said that he is just the doors, the doors are not buildings, that's why your cousin isn't born again yet, that's why the place at your work doesn't want to talk to you anymore because you keep talking. about Jesus, they don't want to hear about the prime minister, you can try to win over your uncle and your uncle doesn't want to hear about God anymore, why is he not there, he is not sitting, God, he is looking for food and clothes. and water, car and house, and he thinks that your God doesn't have it because you went bankrupt, you are selling the wrong things.

The other day I was doing a private tour at Atlantis. Private tour. Very secret talk. I was the only person there. and they took me to the back room, they showed me the future of Atlantis and I said people would buy it for a million dollars and then copy theirs, they say it's almost sold out, they said we would sell them, it's not the building we're selling them . amenities no investor comes here because the Prime Minister because Prime Ministers change why would anyone risk their entire life on a property on Paradise Island or Exuma? Not by the leader of the government because you know they are all temporary, let me tell you. what the government offers listen carefully please an investor to spend billions of dollars this is what they offer stability guess what God says my throne is forever he said when you invest in my country you don't have to work without coldness his throne it's forever your government is forever that's important it's a statement of stability write this preach the store and nod the door how you enter the key we have to do it right you want to sell dresses you want to open a stress store you want to sell dresses Okay, that one it's your decision, dress up, so you get a store in the center and you put all your beautiful dresses from the manufacturer in your store, you decorate your store beautifully with all these dresses, you put them in the window and everything and then you take your 60 second ad . on the radio and you spend the whole time talking about the door you show them the door you show them the color of the door the height of the door the width of the door you show them the mahogany medal on the door how it has small walnuts you show them that beautiful is the door how heavy is the weight the size the width of it can you answer come to my door the door is beautiful wonderful is the door the door is impressive the door is faithful the door is eternal the the door is eternal the door the door the door you will be ruined because people don't look for the door they look for clothes have you noticed if you want to sell shoes you don't advertise the door of the shoe store this is what I discovered that if you show them your merchandise, they will find the door.

Some of you know what I'm talking about when you go to Miami to shop or now it's Fort Lauderdale or now Orlando if you're going to fight and I think now it's West Palm Beach for some people, hey, yeah, you all know that, and I mean, Behemians get lost all the time looking for the door, they know there are places, there's a Walmart somewhere around here, now they can smell it, okay, here's something to remember when you think about Walmart Look at me now do you think about the door absolutely never what do you think of all the things?

Oh, there it is and you'll miss 10 minutes 20 minutes to find that door once you see the Big W, it's like heaven. Jesus has arrived, he has come down and it has touched me there is the Big W and you enter there and your life is transformed the anointing comes upon you you tell them give me two cards when you want to attract people you do not promote the door the goal is to promote the merchandise not the door the message is the country not the border control we preach about the Border ruining the country the quality of life of the country and the benefits attracts citizens please write this is very important this helps you organize reorganize your programs on your television you have to readjust your radio show you have to readjust how you see people your focus should be the quality of life in the country and the benefits of living in it do you know why the Bahamas became the second largest banking center? in the Caribbean not because of who was in who was prime minister, the benefits of putting your money here for the last 50 years without taxes is what brought the money here now recently, they have been adjusting that and the money is coming out because people don't you necessarily like Bahamians, you know they don't love you, that's why they build you, they love the environment and that doesn't include taxes, okay Luke 16.

Jesus said that the law and the prophets had been preached until John from that moment good news of what the kingdom of God is being preached now look at this and all those who are doing what are forcing their way into that country listen to how people are not forcing their way into Christianity, they don't want the Christianity because Christianity is built on a door, not a building. Look, when Muslims talk to you, they compare Muhammad to Jesus. That's why it doesn't work if you tell them. Look, let's forget Jesus. What is the benefit of Islam?

You are sick, you are depressed. You are poor, you can't find something to eat, you worship cows, come on, let's talk about let's not talk about Hinduism, so let's talk about I talk about benefits in our country, we eat cows in your country, you worship cows, you die of hunger, we fight, let's talk. about the benefits of Hinduism, eh, something wrong. Look, people aren't really looking for Jesus. You keep telling them no. They are looking for things. They are looking for a good life. Oh listen to me now, let me, let me. I'll tell you why I want to talk about the Bahamas in the United States.

The Bahamas has one of the most difficult problems in the region. More people are trying to come from other countries to the Bahamas. Our main social problem is immigration. You all think,think about this. Because? Because someone told them, "If you can get it." Fair enough, then they come in boats, they come swimming, they put barrels with Styrofoam and they put a little rope on it, we have to get it, they are trying everything just to get to whatever land there is. gone to the Bahamas, once they get there, they say, oh, and start building little houses on the land why because someone told them the land the opportunities the benefits if you get there your life will change they don't care who the prime minister is the The number one problem of the United States today is immigration, now they are talking about building a wall between Mexico and the United States, listen, you missed the point, the point is that those people have been told that if you can cross in Mexico, they did not advertise, They advertise the lifestyle, if you come to America, you can have all these benefits so people will risk their lives crossing the desert with rattlesnakes and guns and they'll just say can I get there and you know what I love when one of his family makes it.

I'm talking to someone spiritually now that you realize how good it is. It's you, send a message back and say, bring the rest of them if you understand, I'm going to say just clap your hands, praise God, let me explain something to you, that's why Christians don't witness to their family because they themselves don't enjoy from the earth. Christianity is a boring experience sing songs pray in tongues pay tithes go home sing songs pray pray in tongues pray The tides go home for 50 years oh sorry I'm broke so you go with your friends you say come join me experience what I'm experiencing they say you're sick, you're depressed, you're broke, uh your face looks ugly, if not you never are, I was never complaining and actually you join me in criticizing your own pastor, it's kind to me, join you because you have You haven't found the kingdom yet, you found a religion and people don't want a religion, they have their own.

Jesus said they are breaking through to the last statement of him who was breaking through, read it out loud, come on, say it out loud, you never saw it. that before saying, he says that once a person understands what the kingdom is, they will do anything, they will cross the border at the risk of being caught, they will lose their families, they will stay in Mexico, they will stay in Haiti, they will leave themselves behind In Trinidad, I would try it. and Jamaica would try everything I have to achieve, that means we are not preaching the right thing because they are not forcing their way, let's look at this very quickly.

According to Jesus, man's most important priority, all men should be the kingdom. of God the kingdom of God or the king of Heaven is the most important thing on earth and the treasure is the Pearl the yeast the light the salt of the Earth according to Jesus this thing is everything and yet we are not talking about that no We preach it, we don't teach it, we preach a religion called Christianity built on a man called Jesus and people don't like the Prime Minister. What I am teaching is difficult. I know it will take a paradigm. change a readjustment of your whole theology because you see Matthew 6 33 he says he never said but look for me first we keep introducing Jesus and they are interested if we introduce Prime Minister Perry Christie we will go bankrupt in this country let me I'll tell you what I like from the Bahamas.

The sign does not disappear even after the Prime Minister has changed. Let me try again here. These people listen to me. Okay, the sun and the ocean are not governments, they do not move with it. government when the government changes the sign don't leave that's why it's not for sale the government when someone buys property in the Bahamas your safety if the property doesn't move the kingdom of God Jesus says it's first What people want to look for, look how he looks, look what he says in 34. These are benefits, now he added one, he just added it, he says, and once you get in, you don't have to worry about tomorrow, that destroys. your worries and what do you think people worry about right now tomorrow he said you come to this country you don't worry about tomorrow anymore wow what what what reason to invest in that country start in this country he says all your worries his pressure his frustrations are so it is a country to enter here he says tomorrow take care of yourselves excuse me you are not excited all of you excited he said come to this country tomorrow you take care of yourself let me say it again because the country tomorrow takes care of itself which country I know I am stepping on the ground light here but I don't really care because I'm reading the bible didn't he say if you come to him tomorrow he leaves he said if you come to the kingdom tomorrow he leaves okay let's take a look at this Matthew 13 14. the kingdom of heaven is like what a treasure He said the thing is so precious you search for it like a treasure which is not him but the people of the kingdom Listen, have you ever seen those movies where they have the treasure map and you have these guys looking for this sunken ship?

They go through all kinds of hurricanes, storms and typhoons. They don't care, they try to keep that ship together, right? They have to find this treasure and follow this map with the power of their own life. They leave their families at home. They leave security. They need all the security. They said there's a treasure here somewhere. He said that's how he's supposed to be the king. You're supposed to go after it at your own risk because you know once we get in, I think about my Haitian brothers who are here this morning. God bless you. Some of you have some cousins ​​that are close to both of you and you.

I know you pray all the time oh God don't let them die and they both have holes and the mask and the cells are tattered but they hold on and 90 of them in a boat I could look for 30. and they say no I don't care if I can get it , yes, she said this is how the kingdom is supposed to be, listen to me, she said it's like a treasure, look at this one, she says again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls, she said. It's what everyone is looking for and they keep giving them the wrong thing he said when he finds one with a great price that's what sells everything and he goes and buys that one he says such is the kingdom listen I thought he was saying you know, and people from all over the United States.

I travel there almost every week and I meet people where are you from Diana where are you from Jamaica where are you from Haiti where are you from Barbados where are you from I think the children where are you from and the tiger I said, but how? Come, you left home, boy, I left, you know, 15 years ago, I had nothing and I came to the United States, I see my car, I see my business, my children are in school, they are educated, free scholarship, is it at home? I couldn't do this, oh and that's my cousin.

He came last month, huh, and be careful about bringing our mother, why don't you do that with the kingdom of God? And these people I'm talking to never met Pastor Bush. They are interested in President Bush. They said once again in the United States. figure tomorrow take care just sell everything for the one Pearl gave up his inheritance his story gave up his country we lost him we keep selling him I know it's difficult difficult Jesus never said never said in the Bible he is the answer that's a song We Sing, he never said that, says I am the way, oh you didn't sound like destiny, okay let me show you some scriptures because I know some of you have problems, well I tell you I've been incubating this for six months this is some heavy stuff Matthew 6 verse 9. the priority of this is priority look at this Matthew 6 verse 9. this is how you should pray, he says, when I praise him, don't even pray for me to come and the church is praying for Jesus to come, he said that's not prayer, don't pray for that, that's not what I want to come to Earth, I don't want to come to Earth, I came to Earth for the same reason, bringing something else, why religion. it's a mess read it out loud read this come out out loud that's how you should pray who's speaking Jesus read Our Father who is in heaven Hallowed be your name he said I keep praying your kingdom come your will be done where on Earth how is enough he said to you that is your prayer do not pray for him to come focus on the door Luke chapter 22 verse 29. now look at this he says I confer on you out loud please and I do not confer on you a religion but a kingdom just like my father conferred one on me that is a political statement every government when they appoint ambassadors they use the word confer when I received my medals from the Queen of England and I stood there in that wonderful place of dignity but all those important people there, I stood there, I had to kneel , you know, I knelt on this thing and the guy took a little sword, put it on my shoulder and then said, "I confer upon you, use the word, I may fall upon you, the Obe Award of the Kingdom." from Great Britain and when I woke up I was a different person, they called me Obe.

I came out as a Bahamian, uh, being taken down by Sir Quarter Pastor Obe in seconds, another way they confront me, look at this, the British Empire order they put up. about me, the whole empire, you don't understand, look, the Queen of England has the power to give me her kingdom, so when you walk into my government, into my office, look at the end at the club or even if it's there, you can Look, Elizabeth's name is there, look, there she goes. I look at it, it says Dr. Miles Monroe, ob-e and I see the queen's signatures, she sealed it, that means when I enter England and they see Obe, they do like this. why the kingdom just walked into the immigration department and all of a sudden this is this little black kid from the city walking into the airport in Britain and when they opened my way for this, excuse me sir, today you see me, you see King Kings.

He himself, I confess, says an entire country and that is why when you slap me be careful you are stopping a kingdom when you insult a citizen of the kingdom of God you are manipulating the government Jesus said it is better that you tie a rope around your neck and hang yourself if you offend the least of my citizens tell your neighbor be careful how you treat me never give God 500 at this moment in fact he came to the kingdom as a kingdom is the ruling and authoritative influence of a king over a territory impacting that territory with his personal will, his intention and his purpose, which produces a culture of values, morals and lifestyle that reflects the wishes and nature of the king for his citizens;

In other words, a country, a kingdom, is a country and reflects the same The culture of the king and the lifestyle people want to go to the United States at the risk of their lives for the lifestyle, not for the president. They want to come to the Bahamas, live and spend money here and stay up for two weeks and three weeks. and I even want to build a house and live here and because of the lifestyle, not because of the Prime Minister, my point is to convey it, so when you talk about

entering

the kingdom of God, look at this, it is very important that every Kingdom has this list of things that the king of the Lord the constitutional laws and as principal citizens Army the kingdom had Privileges and rights and cultural economy each Kingdom has taxes on Health Care Systems Educational Systems ambassadors protocol and has a society Christ says that is what you preach go to everyone and preach the good news of the Kingdom you preach that whole list tell them about the country the lifestyle the culture the laws the principles the benefits the privileges he said preach that's what he preached or come to this Kingdom you don't have to worry for the food and clothes, car and house in a row, what a wonderful place to enter.

I remember when I was young, my father used to take us to Miami at some point, oh, it has to be a big tree, 11 of us, one at a time, 11 months one. per month when I say go to Miami I don't know what I'm talking about when when we landed I thought we're going to live at this hotel the name of the hotel in downtown Columbus Ohio Flying down the street telling what I'm talking about hey, back in the years 1970, 60, yeah, and then we're going to place and they were ready for this now, when you're born, you'll be in the city.

There is no idea of ​​Buffet in Beijing, you have to fight for the Buffet chicken neck and You better not eat with your eyes closed or pray for your food. Purge your eyes open in Middle Town. You have seven sisters and three brothers taking care of your food. Father. I thank you for my food in the name of Jesus and in case you don't. I don't understand why they look so cute, it's okay, it's a breed of mine that they can't touch. I don't have my germs on my chicken anymore. Should anyone here dress their hand to be honest?

Confess it to me, look at those hands, yes, sir. man, listen, we were poor, then we went to America and when you went there, Buffet all the chicken, all the rice, I was like dad, let's stay here, I felt like in the monkey Transfiguration, let us stay here and build tabernacles of trees, three plates of food. and you stay here, let mom stay in the Bahamas, let's stay here, clap for the Kingdom experience, look, going to America was like going to heaven, well, Christ said when they come to the kingdom of God, You sell everything because you found one thing.

You are looking for something very important, let me show you that this religion postpones the kingdom for a future experience. I mean, remember this, you can't take ownership of what you put off if you say the kingdom will come later, you'll never be able to experience it now, which is why we had to read. The scriptures of Jesus say that God's desire is for you to experience and enter the kingdom right now and the

process

of moving into that kingdom is incredible, let me show you something that is the Bahamas, praise the Lord, that is what we sell, look at our posters that we sell I was intrue Nicodemus no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit, in other words, I made arrangements, that is good news for each of you in this room and watching this program right now, wherever you are, God has made special governmental arrangements for you to literally be born as a citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven legally flesh gives birth to flesh said in the same way that you were physically born so that the spirit gives birth to the Spirit.

I have made a raven for my country to give you a new spiritual birth. That's why he says I'm saying You mustn't, you must or I'm suggesting that you must be born again, he's talking. about citizenship rights natural citizenship is the result of natural birth and that is why the Kingdom of Heaven is an otherworldly supernatural Kingdom and that is why citizenship of the Celestial Kingdom requires the spiritual birth of the Celestial Kingdom and therefore both Jesus was made and has made arrangements for each of us to be born spiritually to achieve supernatural citizenship in the kingdom of God when I am now a citizen now I was born twice did you know that I was born in the Bahamas and I was born in heaven no one else, but what amazed me is when I was born in the Bahamas?

What they did was they took my foot, they put it in ink, y'all don't know what that is, yeah, they go to the hospital, they took Nick's foot, they took my foot and put it on a piece of paper and then They put their name. in the registry of that paper and they file it and register the baby bird in the hospital that registered copy that goes to the registrar general in the center of the Bahamas that you are a registered birth in the Bahamas Follow me now so that anyone I want to know where he was born, They just reviewed the conception record and birth is a secret process invisible to the physical eye when your mother and father were having sex.

I wish it were secret. Talk to me when conception took place. No one was looking, I hope, except. God in other words when he began the bread process it was secret Jesus said these words he said when you receive the new birth it is like the wind no man can see it citizenship is not a visual reality but it is a disposition let me tell you something too John 3 8 verse 8 He says that the wind blows where it wants Nicodemus is speaking You hear it sound but you don't know where it comes from or where it goes That's how it is with everyone born of the spirit When you give your life and you give your life to the king and he gives you a new birth No one sees that happens on an altar in the back of the car on the mountain on the train wherever you receive Christ was invisible that's why Jesus never says you will see thunder I mean you will hear thunder see lightning and earthquakes he says just believe and no one can see you believe in it's something invisible conception is invisible sometimes you walk away you say okay I pray for confession I don't feel anything that's not the point you're supposed to feel nothing happened conception there's no change I don't see any change conception occurs when a woman conceives a don't change clause she didn't realize later until you know something is happening here that's what happens spiritually when you are born again you give yourself to Christ sometimes weeks lady you realize you know something I don't like sin anymore I don't feel comfortable doing this it's showing up you were born again that's why it's impossible you say you were born again and You still sin and enjoy sin now.

You can still sin, but you're not supposed to enjoy it anymore if you're born again. Sin becomes a terror to you when you are sitting, you feel so bad that you start to get sick, why is that? You are no longer your nature you have been born from above praise God I can hear an amen All nations require Brit for citizenship John 3 12 says I have spoken to you about earthly things but you do not believe me says how then will you believe if I speak to you about what Nicodemus said. I'm talking about the same process but with a different umbrella.

You have to understand that you need a natural birth to be a citizen. How can you understand that you need Natural Bridge super algebra to be spiritual, he said. the same you are supposed to be an intelligent man look nicodemic thought he had to go to the rituals you know rituals light burning candles Sands bows three times towards the west you know towards the east you know says seven prayers frozen water on your shoulder you know, drink a little oil, splash it on your back, you know, turn around three times, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, throw some things and you know he said no, just be born, religious people he likes to do things, just being born, he says it is. that's all the culture of citizenship will become your point of distinction when you are born again you must go through many difficulties the Bible says that to enter the kingdom of God when you change your citizenship all the friction begins so that you will not go to drink it No longer , man I can't do it anymore, who do you think you're hot?

Hey, girls get together. Girl do you want to go with us. You can't go anymore. What do you think you're wrong? From another place. Now the friction of citizenship changes. difficulties if they cannot tell the difference in your life you are not born again through difficulties you enter the Life of the Kingdom Matthew 13 37. the one who sold the good seed is the son of man the field is the world and the good seed represents what the children of the kingdom the weeds are who children of the devil you go to work tomorrow and there is supposed to be a distinction between you and the people around you from another place to another country can you tell the difference in school when you go? to school in the business room in the boardroom there is a distinction between you and the other colleagues in the office in that construction job you ask the same words they curse you enjoying their stories there is a distinction are you one of the weeds that they pretend to be? a wheat, he says, look, if you are children of the Kingdom, you are supposed to be distinctive, distinctive citizenship is a public act.

The other day I was watching a show where there was a group of Americans becoming Americans in a group of immigrants becoming Americans and I said and I went, there's the kingdom of God, there's a place full of people and then People said: It's amazing how to have citizenship in the United States the same way they do here in the Bahamas, but we don't know much. about that, it's a big auditorium and all these people are in the center and they were all dressed in different clothes and they were all there, they had little American flags in their hands on the balcony with all their family, friends, enemies and everyone. these people and on stage was the governor and the Attorney General of the state and all these people and someone from Washington was there, you know, and they were all there and what were they doing becoming citizens, guess what they had the television cameras all the time time.

The media was there and these people had to raise their right hand and the whole flag in the other and there were 7,800 of them and they had to repeat these words and they were becoming citizens and they said: I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the United States United under the richest positions in the country, I pledge to obey the laws, submit to all Privileges and activity such as this, all confession and swear this day before all these Witnesses that I reject my former country and submit to the laws of the United States. It will become citizenship from this day on, I will become a citizen and the guy, everyone claps, you know, everyone claps and took pictures, it was a public event, he read the statement of Jesus, whoever it is, therefore we must confess publicly Before men, will I confess to him? in the head office in front of my father, come, praise him who is in heaven, so sometimes we can tell you to appear publicly to give your life to the king and just sit there, you don't need to go up, you know you can do it.

He approaches, he said, look, this is a public act, you need witnesses that you changed countries, we have this secret agent, the so-called Christians, who are like them, homosexuals, closeted people. Jesus said that if you are ashamed to confess publicly, I would not put your name. in my registration at the central office, citizenship is a public act and finally, whoever denies me before men, I will tell my office. I don't know him either. Have you ever heard this? Are you really doing that? I thought you went to bfm. I heard this, you really talked like that, you said I thought you were a Christian, even the world expects better from you, you deny it, I don't know him, uh, when people say this, I never told you that I was a serious Christian, that he didn't .

I don't know you either, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is my Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be a citizen because it is with your heart that you believe, but with your mouth you have to do it. Of course I am a citizen of the kingdom of God with no private problems God sent me this day into your life to tell you that when you leave this building today you are supposed to be a distinguished citizen and a distinguished citizen you do not act like one other people you are a citizen of another country
