God’s Kingdom vs. Man’s Culture: (Part VIIb)

The Season of Repositioning

Acts 17:6...These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

The New Thing God Is Planning For Your Life...

Isaiah 2:2 2 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain [system] of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, [systems] and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

The truth about God’s Kingdom and our Role.

Matthew 24:3-8, 13-143 - And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?4 - And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 - For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.6 - And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 - For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.8 - All these are the beginning of sorrows.13 - But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

God’s Kingdom vs. Man’s Culture: (Part VIII)

The Anointing of New Strategies

Acts 17:6...These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

I. Pursue, Advance and Reclaim Territory...

Isaiah 2:2 2 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain [system] of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, [systems] and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

FYI....In order for the 7-Mountain Mandate to take place there must be an end time explosive manifestation of the Gifts and Talents of the Children.

Proverbs 22:2929 - Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.

II. Just when people are comfortable with old strategies, God changes the strategy to address what’s coming before it arrives.

Luke 16:16 16 - Until John the Baptist, the law of Moses and the messages of the prophets were your guides. But now the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is eager to get in.

III. The Meeting on The Mountain

Matthew 17:1-5 (NIV)1 - After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 - There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

3 - Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.4 - Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”5 - While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

IV. The next Strategy God uses to advance His Kingdom will not be secluded to synagogues, cathedrals or religious buildings...

Isaiah 9:6, 76 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 - Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

V. This is a revelation of the moving away from stale traditional ways.

I Samuel 17:38-4038 - Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head.

39 - David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.40 - Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.

Jesus only told us to Preach The Gospel of The Kingdom.Luke 10:8-98 - “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

Luke 9:1-2 (NIV)Jesus Sends Out the Twelve1 - When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Acts 1:3 (NIV)3 - After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
