continue talking about those Rewards yeah we were talking about last week baby that I was going to have Rewards in the kingdom of God right to me the reward was I would be saved oh yeah just 6 making it to Heaven oh man and testimony service every week y'all pray that I make it in by the skin of my teeth you know just barely get in there and that to us was good enough yes as long as we make it and some watching me right now you're probably guilty of saying that very thing y'all just pray I make it in if I can just make it in and just make it in but I found out later I really don't want to just make it in no I want some of these rewards yes we're going to talk about those rewards because this is for eternity it's for eternity absolutely for forever there's not a do-over there's no 7 do-over and as a matter of fact yahshua said in the word that when he returns his reward will be with him he said that in Revelations 22 and 12 behold I come quickly yes and I'm bringing my reward with me to give this is an interesting verse to every man according to his work wow now you were always taught just like I was nothing about works oh yeah let me make it plain say it again according according to your words now you can do nothing to be saved by words let me make that plane from the start no amount of Works will ever save you but according to what we're about to read to you there is an 8 amount of works that will get you a reward graduation day right you know I wasn't at yours when you graduated from nursing school but when you walked across that stage as valedictorian of your whole nursing class with a 4.0 that did come by faith not by faith it come from a lot of work a lot of work a lot of studying yes now you know you could have just become a nurse that's right you could have barely made it in oh yeah but that wasn't good enough for you you wanted it all well I set a goal my goal was I wanted a 4.0 I wanted to be valedictorian in my class I wanted to be the best I could be 9 excellence so that's it the spirit of Excellence I was going to run the race with excellence and it was not easy it was pretty hard actually yeah but I did graduate so did the ones that didn't make that GPA right but that was my goal so when I got out of nursing um I just heard the voice of the Lord said now we're on on a different time yeah now you're running this race for me yes for act in excellence and to wherever I bring you to do it with all your money with all your money run the race he runs every day 4.0 valedictorian and you know we're not I'm not saying that to brag on you I'm doing 10 it to illustrate that you could have just lived during how many years were you in college before I could have settled right you could have settled it just just as long as I get my Nursing degree yes but there was a spirit of Excellence That Came Upon a fighting spirit I pushed and I fought past every obstacle and there were everyday obstacles and you was a mother yeah a wife yes it's not like you were just sitting there with no life right and so you that same Spirit of Excellence has to come on the body of Christ has to somehow we've got to get past I'm saved thank you Lord there must come a a 11 drive to run this race 99.9 will not do that's why we were given the time on Earth that we have absolutely to occupy yes get busy that's right it wasn't just a waste the years turn into what you're not yeah you turned into a valedictorian yeah think of it in other words you went to that school as as a mom and a wife that's wonderful things right but you left something you were not changed a valedictorian yes when we come to Christ we literally start becoming something that we were not run it with Excellence if you get up every day with that drive that I'm gonna seek to find him more than I 12 ever have seek to know him more than I ever have yes and and do it with all my heart let's pick up and read more about that Spirit of excellence in Luke chapter 19 where we've been the last two weeks now um let's read let's start right at verse 14 Luke Chapter 19 Verse 14. 13 now this is an interesting verse here read that one verse 14. 14 however his citizens who hated him sent a delegation after him saying we do not want to have this man Reign Over Us now this is important his citizens it was not his enemies it was church folk wow he called Ten and they were fine with him as long as he was giving away they come on but when he made the order occupy as long as he was given a word a good word that's going to be blessed that's right that's coming in blessed going out but the minute he said go to work right all of a sudden his citizens his church hated him oh I didn't hear that now they loved that he gave the pound to Faith right 15 because everybody has Faith yeah but when you have to add Works to your faith yes now the church will and I'm a living Witness because the minute I opened my mouth to preach on works the church hates us yeah they hate that word it has become a curse word it is in the church they said no no no now give us the faith oh yeah how dare you but we're not going to occupy till you come they hated him and then what did they say they said in that verse he out of their mouths it's the most powerful parable they said no no no no no no no no no no you can be our savior right but you'll never be our Lord 16 right because every Spirit of entitlement it's everywhere yeah it's everywhere rampant across the whole world what did they tell him you're not going to Reign Over Us you're not getting in our business Our Daily Business just give me give me give me give me my salvation I'll take the free yes oh I'll come to the Cross where's the altar call I'll be there I accept you great oh yeah but dude get out of my business all right okay get out of my pocketbook don't tell me I got to give you the first part get out of my daily life telling me I can only do this and only do that that's right don't be 17 commanded man yes I want my own God my own Lord my way right away my own King it's Burger King Christianity that's right I want it my way right away so he said occupied they said whoa whoa whoa whoa we didn't sign up for that nobody told us when they did the altar call that there was anything beyond the gift that's right and here you come about talking occupy go to work Christian you want to hear that they will hate you just like they did can I get a different version in the Bible absolutely read sweetheart Whispers verse 15. 18 but when he returns now that's the second coming of yahshua he's telling them the story the second coming read when he returned having received the Kingdom so when does he receive the kingdom when he returns Reed he then commanded these servants to be summoned to him that's the resurrection yes read to whom he had given the minus to whom he had given the gift of Salvation the gift of faith he's now calling them up in the resurrection read that he might know how much each man had gained by trading so he might know how much you have gained increased I mean folks this is the missing gospel that's 19 right that Christianity never talks about he don't want to know we've got this thing in our mind that when he calls us out of the Grave we just let him know that we claim the blood and we were saved he didn't say that he said I want to see how much you've increased increased wow how much you've turned you went from Karen to miserous yahshua I want to see the increase yes that's all he you can't come up to him you can't come up here like that group of Spirit-filled Believers yes have you taken on my mind have you taken on the mind of Christ as I said to do have you increased that's right 20 because what did he say about that date many are going to say to me on that day yeah Lord Lord we accepted you we called on you as a matter of fact we we were filled with your Holy Spirit we know we were because we was having Deliverance Services casting out devils oh wow we know we got the Holy Ghost because yahshua said no man can cast out a devil but not the spirit of God they had the spirit that's right but they didn't have the increase that is a scary scripture the scariest one in the Bible this is Christians no that's not just Christians no this Holy Ghost Field Christians yes that 21 Healing The Sick right casting out Devils but he said depart from them depart from me now he's not sending them to hell that's a misunderstanding he's not allowing them into the first resurrection in the government because you are Lawless that's right you workers of iniquity yes if you knew me then you would keep my Commandments because you say you left me yes but you did not increase that's right so this is so important that I believe that's why we're on your television right now somebody's got to bring you this message that no one wants to hear but there is a good side to this story yes and 22 it just gets better from here let's read about it all right verse 16. 23 so the first came saying ruler your minor has gained 10 minus and he said to them well done faithful servant because you are trustworthy over a very little you will have authority over ten cities he didn't say did you claim the blood all right he didn't say did you apply the blood to your life he said show me what you've gained yes and here's what they gained in faithfulness faithfulness is so important faithfulness he said because you took what I gave you and treasured that truth yeah kept adding to that understanding now you've met the premier qualification that I'm looking for faithful 24 faithful well done good and faithful servant now notice what he does not say he doesn't say now welcome to heaven right no he says now since I knew you would work on the earth before I came I read to put you to work for all eternity Hallelujah yes I'm Gonna Give You Now Authority over natural cities yes cities on Earth you're not going nowhere it's time now for the good work right because now I can trust you with an eternal body that I'm going to give you now yeah to rule over the people yes because you were faithful in the little that I gave you and he gave that man 10 cities I mean folks he 25 made him a what a king well what is a king a man that rules over multiple cities he made this man a king that's why yahshua is King yeah of Kings we will be those kings nobody wants that Crown everybody wants to go to heaven because you have to work for it but it's like Loretta Lynn said nobody wants to die to themselves no we must understand there is a reward waiting for you and many of you are not going to get it because you're so busy trying to be saved yes and then that's just all about your own self now there's another it's not about anybody else actually people get saved not for what 26 they can give to God no you know was it John F Kennedy said ask not what your country can do for you but ask what can I do for my country we everybody wants to know what they get when they come to the altar yeah why don't you ask what you can give what can you give when you come to the altar of yourself I'll give you my faithfulness I'll never forsake the assembly I will be there I'll put my hand to the point I Surrender my mind my everything to open understanding more and more every day I love my enemies I'll do good to them that despitefully use me I will return a a horrible word with a soft 27 answer amen I will mature yes I will declare your words as they are yes yes not mine but yours father amen yes now there's another fellow let's read about him verse 18. 28 now this is also a Spirit-filled believer and the second came saying ruler your minor has gained five minus and he said the same to him you will also be over five cities uh oh this one got less Authority yeah the other got ten he got five well this one gets less nobody told me about this growing up no less Authority in the Kingdom never was addressed but you know yahshua said something that never made sense until I understood this Parable I'm going to read what he said and I believe it's Matthew chapter 5 when he's giving The Sermon on the Mount because it never made sense to me before this I 29 believe it's verse 25 oh that's not it uh he said these words he said any man that teaches you to keep the Commandments will be greatest in my father's Kingdom but any man that teaches you to break the Commandments will be least here we have an example of that ten and five wow you know how they got that they taught men that Jesus Christ nailed the Commandments to the Cross you don't have to keep them anymore they literally took Jesus Christ and made him the Lawless one yes anything that he creates Satan perverts it always let's read about this next fellow verse 20. 30 but another came saying ruler behold here is your minor which I have kept stored away in a piece of cloth I was just glad to be saved yeah I took my salvation and just did my own thing now he commanded him to occupy yes but this man didn't do that read well I feared you because you are a harsh man you collect what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow so he said to him out of your own mouth I will judge you Wicked servant that now what does he call this servant he said he's still a servant this is a saved man this is one of the ten that he called before he left the Earth this man 31 has been saved but he's calling him Wicked while he's saved wow that's a thought Wicked Christian now the word Wicked there is a bad translation Lawless Christian read wow you knew that I was a harsh man collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow why then did you put my money in the bank so at my coming I might have collected it with interest I wanted interest I wanted to receive more than I gave you I gave you a seed but I wanted more yes and you did not produce more but my heart breaks for you because your church told you don't worry about that yes the modern Christian 32 Church said it's all about faith yeah without works yeah but he said sir you're Wicked you're out there living your life your own way you did add interest to what I gave you and so many take that literally like when he's saying money but the Bible is full of symbols that's why you have to study to show yourself approved but you have to pray before you start to read the word for him to open your eyes to what he's trying to reveal to you he always will yes he Bible said it's the father's good pleasure to reveal he's not trying to hide it for you not to understand or no no he does hide it it's a 33 mystery from the pig right exactly cat's not that Pearls Before the pig who are the pigs the ones that don't appreciate the value of the word he hides it from those they'll take it literally but for those that hunger and thirst after righteousness they shall be filled let's finish this up we're out of time baby yes what verse are we at that's a good question verse 24 yes then he said to those who stood by too now who are those that stood by the other believers that had increased in their faith okay he tells them that worked and were faithful to go over now take the mind of from him and give it 34 to the one who has ten Minds take his authority that he would have gotten and now you're going to rule over him and they said to him ruler he already has 10 minus and I say to you to everyone who has will be given oh yes but from him who has not even that which he had will be taken from him because you were given the seed of faith that was to produce good works in your life and because you did not do that you will now be ruled over by these others that increased in their faith read the last verse verse 27. 35 now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to Reign Over them bring them here and slay them before me listen to me carefully God has no use for a lazy Lawless Christian I don't care what the TV preacher told you you're hearing the truth right now whether you accept it or not whether you can even identify with it there is something inside of you that will know your hearing the Voice of Truth we are about to see the coming of Yeshua yeah do not come up short of your potential you have the potential to rule and reign with yahshua over the Nations and next week we are going to begin 36 getting into what that is going to look like what is waiting for the whole earth what is waiting for you don't let it pass you by for common Christianity don't be a common Christian Be A peculiar Christian settle don't settle say no I want everything that yah has for me everything and more I want it all call me a spiritual Glutton yes I don't want to miss anything I want those ten cities yes not because I want power but I want to be part of the change I want him to be well pleased amen well please there's a change coming to Earth very soon yes and those that were faithful in this life Father 37 Knows once he gives them an eternal body yes that character must match up to it that's right that's right and if you could not be trusted now that's right to love your enemies when it gives you the Eternal Body you'll go seek Vengeance on your enemies in that powerful body yes that's one thing he did not give us character that's right gave us he can give us his Spirit that's Christmas but not character because characters developed over time why do you think Yahweh created time I have a sermon called The Tool of time Yahweh created time to develop your character that's right why because he's 38 watching the Bible said the angels of Yahweh are surrounding you watching for that character that the father can use in the coming Kingdom and our time is absolutely gone it's amazing it flies by we're so grateful for all of you thank you for emailing us thank you for writing us our addresses on the screen our email is on the screen we have do you know we have over 2 000 sermons you can watch right now at the website below we wish you shabbat shalom yes remember
