Chapter 1: Religion against Kingdom of God
There is a question every sincere believer eventually asks, though most never say it out loud, because the asking itself feels dangerously close to unfaithfulness.
If what I have been given is as powerful as the New Testament claims it is, why does my daily experience look so little like what the New Testament describes?
Why is the gap between what the Bible promises and what I actually live so vast, so persistent, and so resistant to
every religious solution I have attempted.
I said, "The answer to that question is not a failure of faith. It is a failure of framework." Read that again slowly.
The believer living far beneath what the New Testament promises is almost always living from the wrong
framework entirely.
They have been given a kingdom and they have been taught to practice a religion. And a kingdom and a
religion are not two versions of the same thing.
A religion is a system of human approach to the divine. It assumes the divine is distant. That access must be earned. That the quality of human performance determines the quality of divine response.
A kingdom operates on entirely different principles.
A kingdom is a realm of divine governance in which
citizens live, governed by the king's authority, sustained by the king's resources. The citizen does not earn their way into the kingdom's benefits through performance. They inhabit those benefits by virtue of their citizenship.
Mark 1: verses 14 and 15. Now after that, John was put in prison. Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe the gospel."
Chapter 2: Understanding the shift
The kingdom of God, not a new religion, not an improved system of approach to the divine.
The kingdom of God, the realm of God's direct governance,
breaking into human experience.
And the new birth, which is the mechanism of entry into this kingdom, is not initiation into a religious system. It is the birth of a new being into a new realm.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Born again, not initiated, not ordained, not subscribed, born.
Everything we cover in this teaching is on the kingdom and the practical devastation that happens when a believer brings a religious framework to a kingdom reality.
And today we are going to walk through exactly why that confusion is so costly and exactly what changes when the framework finally shifts from religion to kingdom.
Colossians 1:13, God who hath delivered us out of the
authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
Translated. The Greek word is methi to transfer, to remove from one place and establish in another. This is not the language of religious initiation. It is the language of relocation.
At the new birth, the believer was not enrolled in a new religion. They were relocated, removed from one kingdom and established in another. And this relocation was not conditional on the quality of their subsequent religious performance. It was accomplished by the blood of Jesus Chist. It is a legal fact in the heavenly record that no subsequent failure on the believer's part revokes.
Matthew 6:33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. The kingdom first, not the religious system first, not the performance metric first.
The kingdom, the realm of God's governance, the reality of His authority operating in and through the believer's life.
I identified five specific ways in which the kingdom framework produces a different daily experience than the
religious framework does.
Five areas where the shift from religion to kingdom changes not just how the believer thinks but what they actually experience in the practical dimensions of their life. And that is exactly where we are headed next.
I pressed this distinction with a force that most of my contemporaries did not fully appreciate.
I said the confusion of the kingdom with religion is the single most practically devastating error in the history of Christian experience because it takes everything the kingdom provides. the authority, the provision, the healing, the peace, the supernatural governance of every circumstance and places it behind a performance barrier
that the kingdom's own constitution never established.
The kingdom does not require you to earn your citizenship.
You were born into it.
The kingdom does not require you to perform for access to its resources. You inhabit those resources as the environment of your citizenship.
And the moment a believer understands this, the moment the religious framework gives way to the kingdom framework, everything about how they approach God, how they access the kingdom's provisions, and how they understand their own identity changes completely.
1. The first area where the kingdom framework produces a completely different daily experience is prayer.
Chapter 3: The nature of prayer
Religious prayer is the human's approach to the divine through the performance barrier. It succeeds when the human's recent performance has been sufficient to earn a hearing and fails when recent failures have compromised their access.
It is tentative, hedged, careful not to presume too much.
It sounds like, Lord, if I have been faithful enough, if my
prayer life has been consistent enough, if my recent record of obedience warrants your response, I humbly present
this request.
And the uncertainty embedded in those qualifications is not theological humility. It is the posture of a religious performer who is not sure their performance has been adequate.
Kingdom prayer begins from an entirely different position.
Chapter 4: Bold access to God
Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Boldly, the Greek word is paracia, freedom of speech, confidence, the assurance of one who has the legal right to speak.
This confidence is not produced by the quality of the believer's recent religious performance.
It is produced by the blood of the covenant that established their access by the name of Jesus Christ that gives them legal standing in the throne room.
Chapter 5: The system of provision
Kingdom prayer is not the petition of a religious performer hoping their performance has been adequate.
It is the declaration of a kingdom citizen presenting covenant rights that the king's own constitution guarantees.
Chapter 6: Relying on God's riches
2. The second area is provision.
That the religious framework approaches provision through the performance system. Tithing, giving, fasting, praying with the implicit understanding that sufficient religious performance in these areas will activate God's provision in return.
And while tithing and giving are genuine kingdom principles with genuine covenant implications, the religious framework turns them into a transaction.
I perform this religious duty and God provides in proportion to my faithfulness in the performance.
Which means the believer who had a poor tithing month approaches financial need with a diminished expectation because their performance in the provision system has been compromised.
The kingdom framework approaches provision from Philippians 4:19. My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Chapter 7: Inheritance versus performance
The standard of supply is not the believer's tithing record. It is the riches of God's glory.
And the citizen of the kingdom draws from that provision not as the reward of performance but as the inheritance of citizenship.
Not because they earned it this month because they live in a kingdom whose king provides for his citizens as a function of his nature not as a reward for their performance.
The kingdom citizen who missed a tithing payment does not approach financial need with a diminished expectation. They approach it from Philippians 4:19 with the settled conviction that their Father God is not a transaction partner tracking their performance record.
Chapter 9: Living in fellowship
He is a king who supplies the needs of His citizens from the inexhaustible resources of His glory. Think about how differently these two believers pray over the exact same
financial need.
One is quietly calculating whether they have given enough recently to justify the request.
The other one is simply presenting a covenant right that their citizenship already guarantees regardless of how
their giving has looked this particular month.
Same need, same God, two entirely different postures produced by two entirely different frameworks.
Galatians 4: verses 6 and 7. Give us the family language scripture itself uses for this relationship. Because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son. And if a son, then an heir of God through Christ, an heir, not a
performer, hoping for a bonus, but an heir with legal standing that birth, not behavior established.
Father, I decree right now over every person reading and hearing this that they are praying as kingdom citizens, not religious performers. I decree that Hebrews 4:16 is becoming their settled daily posture, coming boldly, not tentatively.
And I decree that Philippians 4:19 is becoming their
covenant expectation, supply drawn from inheritance, not earned through performance in the name of Jesus. Two
11:0711 minutes, 7 secondsareas covered, prayer and provision, both completely reframed once the kingdom replaces religion as the governing framework. Two more remain.
11:1711 minutes, 17 secondsAnd they touch two of the most consequential daily experiences of the Christian life. How you fight and who
11:2411 minutes, 24 secondsyou believe you are. The third area is authority over the enemy. The religious framework approaches spiritual warfare
11:3211 minutes, 32 secondsthrough accumulated religious merit. The more prayers prayed, the more fasts observed, the more spiritual disciplines
11:4011 minutes, 40 secondsmaintained, the greater the authority available for engaging the enemy. And this framework produces a spiritual
11:4811 minutes, 48 secondswarfare experience that is exhausting and inconsistent because the authority available fluctuates with the believer's
11:5711 minutes, 57 secondsreligious performance. Which means the believer who has had a difficult month spiritually approaches the enemy with
12:0512 minutes, 5 secondsless authority than the believer who has had a consistent month. The kingdom framework approaches spiritual warfare
12:1312 minutes, 13 secondsfrom the legal position that citizenship already established. Colossians 2:15 having spoiled principalities and
12:2112 minutes, 21 secondspowers, he made a shoe of them openly, triumphing over them in it. The authority to enforce this triumph was
12:2912 minutes, 29 secondsgiven to the church to kingdom citizens by virtue of their position in the kingdom not their performance in the
12:3612 minutes, 36 secondsreligious system. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power over all the power
12:4312 minutes, 43 secondsof the enemy. This authority does not fluctuate with the believer's spiritual performance. It is the stable, legally
12:5212 minutes, 52 secondsestablished, covenant grounded authority of a citizen who carries the name of the king and operates under the king's
13:0013 minutescommission. The kingdom citizen who failed yesterday does not approach the enemy today with diminished authority.
13:0913 minutes, 9 secondsThey approach from the same legal position in the name of Jesus, seated far above every principality and power
13:1713 minutes, 17 secondsthat they occupied before the failure because their authority flows from their citizenship, not their performance.
13:2413 minutes, 24 secondsThink about how exhausting the religious framework actually makes spiritual warfare once you see it clearly. A
13:3213 minutes, 32 secondsbeliever constantly auditing their own recent performance before they feel entitled to resist the enemy. Checking
13:3913 minutes, 39 secondstheir prayer consistency, reviewing their recent failures, wondering whether they have earned enough spiritual credit
13:4613 minutes, 46 secondsthis week to stand confidently against what is attacking them. Ephesians 2:6 gives us the position that makes all of
13:5313 minutes, 53 secondsthat exhausting auditing entirely unnecessary and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in
14:0314 minutes, 3 secondsChrist Jesus. Seated already not a position the kingdom citizen is earning incrementally through sufficient
14:1114 minutes, 11 secondsreligious performance. a present legal reality established at the new birth and unaffected by yesterday's failure or last week's inconsistency.
14:2214 minutes, 22 secondsThe kingdom citizen does not need to recover lost ground after a difficult week. There was no ground lost. The
14:2914 minutes, 29 secondsseated position in Christ was never a performance metric. It was a birth fact and a birth fact cannot be partially
14:3714 minutes, 37 secondsrevoked by a bad week the way a performance score can. This is why Kenyon insisted the kingdom framework
14:4414 minutes, 44 secondsproduces a fundamentally more sustainable spiritual life than the religious one. Not because kingdom
14:5114 minutes, 51 secondscitizens never struggle or never fail, but because their authority was never built on a foundation that struggle and failure could erode in the first place.
15:0115 minutes, 1 secondJames 4:7 gives us the simple settled confidence that flows from this legal position. Submit yourselves therefore to
15:1015 minutes, 10 secondsGod. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Will flee, not might flee. If your recent performance has been
15:1815 minutes, 18 secondssufficient, will flee. The settled guaranteed response of a defeated enemy.
15:2415 minutes, 24 secondsConfronted by a citizen who knows exactly what their citizenship already guarantees. Before we go on to the fourth area, I want to share something
15:3315 minutes, 33 secondswith you. Today we are reading a testimony report from one of our readers, Linda from the United States.
15:3915 minutes, 39 secondsDot. She left this review after going through the Secret Place devotional. And I want you to hear exactly what she said
15:4715 minutes, 47 secondsin her own words. If you are hungry for fellowship with the Holy Spirit and a deeper communion with him, this book
15:5515 minutes, 55 secondswill assist you. You will experience a practical means of real fellowship with the Lord. This is not just another
16:0216 minutes, 2 secondsdevotional to read and forget what you read. This is a practical aid for helping you and walking with you on what
16:1016 minutes, 10 secondsto do when you are in the secret place with the Lord. You will not be disappointed. Five stars. And Linda's
16:1716 minutes, 17 secondswords point to exactly the kind of settled daily relationship this entire teaching has been describing. Not a
16:2416 minutes, 24 secondsperformance system to maintain, but a genuine fellowship to live inside of.
16:3016 minutes, 30 secondsThe fourth area is identity and self-standing. Two, self-standing. The religious framework produces an identity
16:3816 minutes, 38 secondsthat fluctuates with performance. A good spiritual week produces confidence, a sense of closeness to God, the feeling
Chapter 10: Identity in Christ
16:4616 minutes, 46 secondsof being in the father's favor. A poor spiritual week produces diminished confidence, a sense of distance, the
16:5516 minutes, 55 secondsfeeling of being outside that favor. And the believer's self-understanding, their sense of who they are before God
17:0317 minutes, 3 secondsrises and falls with the fluctuations of their religious performance, which means they are never quite settled in their
17:1017 minutes, 10 secondsidentity, never quite secure in who they are, always subject to the revision that the next performance failure will
17:1917 minutes, 19 secondsproduce. The kingdom framework produces an identity anchored to the legal reality of citizenship rather than the
Chapter 11: Condemnation removed
17:2817 minutes, 28 secondsfluctuating reality of performance. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
17:3417 minutes, 34 secondsIf any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away.
17:3917 minutes, 39 secondsBehold, all things are become new. The new creature's identity does not fluctuate with performance. The new
17:4617 minutes, 46 secondscreature is a new creation, not a better performer in the old system, a different category of being with a different legal
17:5417 minutes, 54 secondsstanding before God. Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them
18:0118 minutes, 1 secondwhich are in Christ Jesus. No condemnation, not reduced condemnation, not conditional condemnation, held in
18:1018 minutes, 10 secondsobeyance as long as the performance remains adequate. no condemnation.
18:1618 minutes, 16 secondsThe kingdom citizens identity is not defined by their failures. It is defined by the blood that established their
Chapter 12: The supernatural expectation
18:2418 minutes, 24 secondscitizenship and the spirit that confirms their sunship. And no performance failure changes what the blood
18:3218 minutes, 32 secondsestablished or silences what the spirit confirms. The fifth area is the expectation of the supernatural. The
18:4118 minutes, 41 secondsreligious framework approaches the supernatural as the exceptional reward of exceptional performance. The miracle
18:4918 minutes, 49 secondsgranted to the believer whose faith and faithfulness have reached a sufficient level to warrant divine intervention.
18:5718 minutes, 57 secondsWhich means ordinary believers with ordinary performance records approach their daily lives with ordinary expectations.
19:0619 minutes, 6 secondsThe supernatural is for the specially gifted, the specially faithful, not for the person whose devotional consistency
19:1419 minutes, 14 secondshas been uneven lately. The kingdom framework approaches the supernatural as the normal operating environment of kingdom citizenship. Mark 16:17.
Chapter 13: Reframing daily life
19:2719 minutes, 27 secondsThese signs shall follow them that believe, not them that have performed with sufficient consistency, them that
19:3419 minutes, 34 secondsbelieve. The supernatural is not the reward of religious performance. It is the natural expression of kingdom
19:4119 minutes, 41 secondscitizenship exercised in faith. And the kingdom citizen who knows this, who approaches their daily life with the
19:5019 minutes, 50 secondsconsciousness that signs follow believers, that the greater one who lives in them is greater than everything
19:5719 minutes, 57 secondsin the world, that the name of Jesus carries authority over every force of darkness, finds the supernatural not as
20:0520 minutes, 5 secondsan occasional exceptional occurrence, but as the consistent, growing, daily expression of a kingdom life lived from
20:1320 minutes, 13 secondsthe right framework. work. Think about the practical weight of these two areas together. Identity and supernatural
20:2120 minutes, 21 secondsexpectation, both governed by the same underlying question. Is this fluctuating with my performance or settled in my
20:3020 minutes, 30 secondscitizenship? A believer who answers that question correctly for identity but incorrectly for supernatural expectation
20:3820 minutes, 38 secondsstill lives beneath their kingdom inheritance in daily practice. even while believing the right things about
20:4520 minutes, 45 secondswho they are on paper. Five areas now fully laid out. Prayer, provision,
20:5220 minutes, 52 secondsauthority, identity, and the expectation of the supernatural. Every single one reframed the moment the religious
Chapter 14: Transitioning frameworks
21:0121 minutes, 1 secondperformance system is replaced by the settled reality of kingdom citizenship.
21:0721 minutes, 7 secondsBefore we go further, I want to mention something built to help you develop exactly this kind of daily settled
21:1421 minutes, 14 secondskingdom consciousness rather than the exhausting cycle of religious performance. Our secret place
21:2121 minutes, 21 secondsdevotional, a 90-day practical journey with the Holy Spirit is now live and available. You will find the link in the
21:3021 minutes, 30 secondsdescription below this video. So, how does the shift actually happen? How does a believer who has been living from the
21:3721 minutes, 37 secondsreligious framework make the transition to the kingdom framework in the practical daily specific experience of
21:4521 minutes, 45 secondstheir Christian life. Kenyon was always precise about this because he understood that revelation without a practical path
21:5321 minutes, 53 secondsproduces nothing but more information in a mind that already has more information than it has been able to act on. The
Chapter 15: Feeding the inner man
22:0122 minutes, 1 secondtransition begins with the deliberate sustained daily feeding of the inner man on kingdom truth rather than religious
22:0922 minutes, 9 secondstruth. This distinction matters because these are genuinely different categories of teaching. Religious teaching focuses
22:1722 minutes, 17 secondson what the believer must do, the disciplines, the observances, the performance standards. Kingdom teaching
22:2522 minutes, 25 secondsfocuses on what the kingdom has provided and what the believer's citizenship makes available. Religious teaching produces performance consciousness.
22:3422 minutes, 34 secondsKingdom teaching produces inheritance consciousness and the inner man that is consistently fed on kingdom truth on
22:4322 minutes, 43 secondswhat the blood has established what the citizenship has provided what the king's constitution has guaranteed gradually
22:5122 minutes, 51 secondsshifts its governing framework from the religious to the kingdom from performing for access to drawing from inheritance
23:0023 minutesthe transition continues with the deliberate revision of the confession The religious confession describes performance and petitions for response.
23:0923 minutes, 9 secondsThe kingdom confession declares citizenship and enforces inheritance. I am the righteousness of God in Christ.
23:1823 minutes, 18 secondsNot because my recent performance warrants the declaration, but because the blood established it and the word
23:2523 minutes, 25 secondsconfirms it. My God supplies all my need according to his riches in glory. Not
23:3223 minutes, 32 secondsbecause my tithing record this month has been adequate, but because I am a citizen of a kingdom whose king provides
23:4023 minutes, 40 secondsfor his people as a function of his nature. I am seated with Christ far above every principality and power. Not
Chapter 16: Kingdom confessions
23:4923 minutes, 49 secondsbecause my prayer life has been consistent enough to earn the position, but because the new birth placed me in
23:5623 minutes, 56 secondsChrist and Christ is seated there. These declarations maintained as the governing confession of daily life spoken in the
Chapter 17: Enforcing the victory
24:0424 minutes, 4 secondsface of every religious counterargument that performance-based access would generate are what build the kingdom
24:1224 minutes, 12 secondsframework into the governing reality of the inner world. And the transition is sustained by the practice of drawing from the kingdom rather than performing
24:2124 minutes, 21 secondsfor religion. drawing, reaching into what is already present, accessing what is already provided, enforcing what is
24:2924 minutes, 29 secondsalready established, rather than performing in the hope of earning what has not yet been received. And first
24:3624 minutes, 36 secondsPeter 2:24, by whose stripes ye were healed. The kingdom citizen who needs healing does not intensify their
24:4424 minutes, 44 secondsreligious performance to qualify for the miracle. They draw from what that verse has already established and they enforce
Chapter 18: Drawing not earning
24:5224 minutes, 52 secondsthat legal reality over the circumstance that is contradicting it. The kingdom citizen who needs provision does not
25:0025 minuteswork harder at the religious performance system to activate the provision. They draw from what Philippians 4:19 has
Chapter 19: The easy yoke
25:0725 minutes, 7 secondsalready guaranteed and they speak it as the governing declaration over their financial situation. drawing, not performing, accessing, not earning.
25:1825 minutes, 18 secondsFather, I decree right now over every person hearing this that they are feeding their inner man on kingdom truth, not religious performance
25:2625 minutes, 26 secondsstandards. I decree that their confession is shifting from petition to declaration according to the pattern of
25:3425 minutes, 34 seconds1 Peter 2:24 and that they are drawing from what has already been established rather than performing to earn it in the
25:4225 minutes, 42 secondsname of Jesus. This is the kingdom life, not a better version of the religious life. a completely different framework
25:5125 minutes, 51 secondsfor understanding what God has given, what the new birth produced, and how the resources of the kingdom are accessed
25:5825 minutes, 58 secondsand released. Kenyan wrote near the end of his ministry something that every believer who has lived under the
26:0526 minutes, 5 secondsexhaustion of religious performance needs to hear. He said, "God never intended the Christian life to be the
26:1226 minutes, 12 secondsexhausting, striving, never quite enough experience that religion produces. He intended it to be the natural joyful
Chapter 20: The reality of sonship
26:2126 minutes, 21 secondssupernaturally sustainable expression of a life lived from what the kingdom has provided. A life in which prayer is bold because citizenship is established.
26:3226 minutes, 32 secondsProvision is expected because the king provides for his people. Authority is exercised because the kingdom's
26:4026 minutes, 40 secondscommission has been given. And the supernatural is the natural atmosphere because the citizen is living in a realm
26:4726 minutes, 47 secondsgoverned by a king whose nature is supernatural. This is the life the new birth produced. This is the life the
26:5526 minutes, 55 secondskingdom provides. And it becomes the believer's daily experience. The moment they stop trying to earn through
27:0227 minutes, 2 secondsreligion what was given through the kingdom. First John 3 1 gives us the specific identity underneath this entire
27:1027 minutes, 10 secondsshift. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.
27:1827 minutes, 18 secondsBestowed, not negotiated, not earned through a satisfactory performance record. Bestowed, a gift given by a
27:2727 minutes, 27 secondsfather whose love is the basis of the relationship, not a reward attached to the relationship's maintenance.
27:3527 minutes, 35 secondsGalatians 5:1 gives us the posture that kind of bestowed sunship actually produces. Stand fast therefore in the
27:4427 minutes, 44 secondsliberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage, the yoke of bondage.
27:5327 minutes, 53 secondsThat is precisely what the religious framework produces even when it is practiced sincerely and with genuine
28:0028 minutesdevotion. a yoke, a weight, a performance treadmill that never quite delivers the rest it promises. And the
Chapter 21: Living in liberty
28:0928 minutes, 9 secondskingdom framework removes that yoke entirely. Not by lowering the standard, by relocating the foundation from what
28:1728 minutes, 17 secondsyou do to who you are, from what you earn to what you have already been given. Matthew 11:28-30
28:2528 minutes, 25 secondsgive us Jesus's own invitation into exactly this kind of rest. Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
28:3528 minutes, 35 secondsand I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Notice, he does not remove the yoke entirely, and leave the believer with nothing to carry. He exchanges one yoke for another. The exhausting yoke of religious performance for the easy yoke of kingdom relationship.
Both involve carrying something. Only one of them is
29:0629 minutes, 6 secondsactually bearable over the long course of an entire lifetime. Think about how different your own week would feel lived
29:1329 minutes, 13 secondsfrom that second yoke instead of the first. Not approaching God tentatively, wondering if your recent performance has
29:2029 minutes, 20 secondsearned a hearing. Not auditing your spiritual consistency before you feel entitled to resist the enemy. Not
29:2829 minutes, 28 secondswatching your sense of identity rise and fall with how the weak has gone. Simply living from a citizenship already
29:3629 minutes, 36 secondsestablished in a kingdom already entered under a king who has already provided everything his constitution guarantees.
Chapter 22: Walking in citizenship
29:4629 minutes, 46 secondsFather, I decree right now over every person hearing this that the yoke of religious performance is being exchanged
29:5329 minutes, 53 secondsfor the easy yoke of kingdom relationship according to Matthew 11:28-30.
29:5929 minutes, 59 secondsI decree that they are standing fast in the liberty Christ purchased according to Galatians 5:1 and refusing to be
30:0830 minutes, 8 secondsentangled again with the bondage they have carried for too long in the name of Jesus. So, here is where this leaves
30:1530 minutes, 15 secondsyou. You were born into a kingdom, not initiated into a religion, not enrolled in a performance system that will
30:2330 minutes, 23 secondseventually reward your consistent devotion with the supernatural experiences you have been working toward. born into a realm with a king
30:3230 minutes, 32 secondswho provides for his citizens as a function of his nature. Who governs their lives as a function of his
30:3930 minutes, 39 secondsauthority who establish their access through the blood of his son and invites them to draw from everything that blood
30:4630 minutes, 46 secondspurchased boldly consistently without the performance barrier that religion erected between the believer and their
30:5430 minutes, 54 secondsinheritance. Father, I bring a final decree over every person receiving this teaching right now. I decree that they
Chapter 23: Declarations of identity
31:0331 minutes, 3 secondsare walking away today, no longer performing for what was given at the new birth, but living from what the kingdom
31:1131 minutes, 11 secondshas always provided. I decree that Colossians 1:13, Matthew 6:33,
31:1831 minutes, 18 secondsand 2 Corinthians 5:17 are becoming the settled daily reality of their life. In the name of Jesus.
31:2731 minutes, 27 secondsAmen. Now before you go, declare this out loud right where you are. I am a
31:3531 minutes, 35 secondskingdom citizen. Not a religious performer hoping my consistency has been sufficient. A kingdom citizen drawing
31:4331 minutes, 43 secondsfrom an inheritance that birth, not behavior already established. Go to the comments right now and type these exact
31:5131 minutes, 51 secondswords. I am a kingdom citizen, not as a slogan. As the confession of someone who has finally seen the difference between
31:5931 minutes, 59 secondswhat religion demands and what the kingdom has already provided. Stop performing for what was given at the new
32:0632 minutes, 6 secondsbirth. Start living from what the kingdom has always provided. The resources are not behind a performance
Chapter 24: Final exhortation
32:1332 minutes, 13 secondsbarrier. They are the environment of your citizenship. And the king has been waiting for you to stop trying to earn
32:2132 minutes, 21 secondswhat he already gave you and simply live in it. Understand what has actually shifted in you today. Not new theology
