Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yo, what's going on, family? How y'all doing out there?
I would like to welcome you officially to another Kingdom
Wars Lessons from a Galaxy Far far away, a power
session series where we take a deep dive into Kingdom
truths and connect them to stories from the Star Wars universe.
(00:25):
I'm your host none other than the infamous King J
Lou aka King J Lewis. This is me Jared Lewis,
and in this episode, this episode right here, it's entitled
Kingdom Wars Episode three, The Return of the Kingdom. Kingdom
(00:46):
Wars Episode three, the Return of the Kingdom. And let's
get right into it because this just ain't a fairy tale.
The Kingdom of God is real, y'all, and it is
returning through you. I have just a couple of things
(01:09):
that I want to talk about for this power session
for this Kingdom Wars Episode three are the return of
the Kingdom. The first thing I want to talk about
is that the Kingdom never left. It was hidden in you.
The Kingdom never left, It was hidden in you. Okay, So, Luke,
(01:39):
Chapter seventeen Versus twenty one tells us the Kingdom is
within us. Colossians three and three reminds us our lives
are hidden within Christ, in God. Just like Luke Skywalker
didn't know who he was at first, many of us
(02:02):
are walking around underware of the power that we carry.
The Jedi weren't destroyed, they were wedding, they were waiting.
The Kingdom of God isn't missing, it's maturing on the
(02:25):
inside of you. You might feel in your lowest of low,
in your trial, in your tribulation, in your shortcoming, in
your mishap, in your darkness, that you feel forgotten, but
(02:46):
you were just being forged. The Kingdom of God from
within you isn't gone, is still there on the inside
of you, waiting for you to activate it. It never
(03:10):
left you. God never left you. Even though it seems
like you on this journey on your own, God has
never left you. We're walking around with all this power
and all this authority that's built up on the inside
(03:32):
of us, and we don't even realize and understand exactly
what is on the inside of our very soul, what's
on the inside of our very spirit man, what's imbreded
in us as children of the Kingdom. That's the first
(03:53):
thing I wanted to talk about, the Kingdom of God
never left. Second thing I want to talk about is
the tools of the Kingdom of God. They're strategic, spiritual,
and superior. So the first thing was the Kingdom of
God never left. It was hidden in you. The second
thing is the tools of the Kingdom, strategic, spiritual, and superior. Second.
(04:18):
Corinthians ten four through five teaches us that our weapons
are not carnal but mighty. Hebrews four and twelve says
the Word is sharper than any sword. Ephesian six ten
through eighteen lays out the full armor of God. Jedi
(04:43):
had tools like lightsabers, meditation, the force, and the Jedi Council.
What we have in the Kingdom of God is the
Word of God. It's our lightsaber. Prayer, that's our source
(05:03):
of clarity. Worship, that's our shield discernment, that's our force, sensitivity,
community and fellowship is our spiritual counsel. We don't fight
like the Empire. We strike with truth, we strike with worship,
(05:28):
and we strike with spirit led strategy that doesn't just defend,
it demolishes. See a lot of us have this thing
kind of misconscrewed right, that what God has given us
is based upon the offensive. The famous ray Lewis even
(05:52):
said to himself, offense wins game, but defense wins championships.
That's the whole point of the game. The whole point
of the game is to win championships. And the tools
that God has given us from within his kingdom, that
is he has established with Jesus sitting on that throne,
(06:15):
is completely capable of setting out to do the very
thing that God has commissioned it to do, and that
is to win. We are not on a losing side
just because that we are serving Jesus. Just because that
(06:39):
we are serving God, just because that we have a
moral center, does not mean that we don't have tools
to use to win and succeed in life, all right.
So that's the second thing. First thing we talked about
(06:59):
was the Kingdom of God never left. It was hidden
in you. Second thing we talked about was the tools
of the kingdom, how they are strategic, spiritual, and superior.
The third thing, and the last thing that we're going
to talk about is the King has ascended and left
(07:22):
power behind. The King has ascended and left power behind.
Acts one and eight says you shall receive power after
the Holy Ghos has come upon you. John fourteen twelve
says we will do greater works, and Ephesians one in
(07:50):
twenty through twenty three reminds us Jesus is cited above
all and we are city sited seated in him. Just
like Luke's return wasn't about nostalgia, Luke's return was about legacy.
(08:20):
Jesus's ascension wasn't about nostalgia, and it wasn't about just
an exit, but it was about an empowerment. Let me
explain something to you. You are not the aftermath. You
(08:46):
are the return. You are the proof that the Kingdom
of God is still active. Because Jesus has risen, his
(09:07):
vision is instilled inside of you. And because his vision
is inside of you, that is proof that his kingdom
is still active. There is power on the inside of you.
(09:29):
There is authority on the inside of you. It's all
up to you. The ball is in your hands and
you are on this court. All you have to do
is shoot. You ain't even got to make the shot
(09:54):
like anywhere on the art, you don't have to make
the shot. Just shoot because every time we shoot, we're
gonna score. Because that is what is in bread into
our very soul, its power, what's in bread into our
(10:18):
soul is winning culture and success. I got a question
I want to ask you before I leave you loan.
Are you just surviving or are you returning? Are you
(10:48):
just living and surviving paycheck to paycheck or are you
able to tell your money what you want it to do?
Are you bound physically to your own illment or are
(11:14):
you at least able to physically impose an exercise plan?
Are you walking in authority or are you walking in avoidance?
(11:35):
Have you picked up any of the spiritual weapons that
God has already given you? Do you even know that
Christ died for you? Yeah, in your lowest the low,
(12:05):
in your darkest time, through every conflict in turmoil. Do
you know that Jesus died that you may thrive? I
think all of us fit in that category, especially myself.
(12:29):
If you would pray this prayer to me real quick, Lord,
thank you, thank you for the reminder that I am
not powerless, that I am not forgotten, that I am
(12:54):
not a shadow, that I am a son, I am
a daughter, I am a citizen. And to help me
walk just like that in Jesus' name, a man. Now,
(13:18):
you gotta you gotta believe that you got you gotta
believe that. You gotta stand on that. You got to
truly know that. Don't doubt what you just pray, because
God is going to move on what you pray to
him and what you believe in. You are the return
(13:45):
on God's investment. You are. You are the return of
the Kingdom of God. You are whoever may be listening
to this podcast episode, whoever may be listening to this
power session, this Kingdom Wars power session, You are the
(14:10):
return of the Kingdom. Fight back, exercise your faith. The
enemy already can't win, so that means that you already
have the victory. So the victory is already yours. All
(14:35):
you got to do is run this race. But not
with no clap backs, not with being petty, not with
trying to be funny or or or physically imposing yourself
on someone, but with clarity, not with stress, but with strategy.
(15:01):
All Right, that's all we got for this episode, for
this power session for Kingdom Wars Episode three, the Return
of the Kingdom. And share this with someone and let
the world know that the Kingdom of God is back
and it lives within you. So until the next time,
(15:23):
we're talking about how the Kingdom actually spreads not by force,
but by the fire that's in side of Always remember
to be the best kingdom citizen that you can be
and exercise your right. It's a kingdom CITs God bless
(15:46):
I love you, catch you in the next one. Peace,
