I Am Blessed With Heavens Best Prt5 the Fullness of God’s Creation closes this series with one message: in Christ you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing, so you no longer labor to get God to bless you. The pastor explains the difference between the kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, shows how God adopted us as sons, and teaches that condemnation is what keeps believers hiding from the blessings Jesus has already secured.
Below you will find the full video, a structured summary of the sermon, the Scripture behind each point (linked to the New King James Version on Bible Gateway), a timestamped outline, and practical steps you can take this week.
Sermon at a Glance
This message was posted at NTC Ministries on March 20, 2025, as the fifth and final part of the series I Am Blessed With Heaven’s Best. It runs about 65 minutes and ends with an invitation to receive Jesus. The pastor also sows seeds for his next series on the Kingdom of Heaven and on what he calls kingdom faith.
His foundation text is Ephesians 1:3–6. From there he moves through adoption, condemnation, dominion and righteousness, and ends with the fullness of God’s house in Psalm 36 and the exceedingly great and precious promises of 2 Peter 1.

The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven
The pastor notes that the Bible speaks of the kingdom of God in 69 verses and the Kingdom of Heaven in 32, yet very little is taught about either. The kingdom of God always was and always will be, he says. It never changes. The Kingdom of Heaven describes the period we are living in right now.
He compares it to a nation’s constitution. The constitution stays the same, but each new administration applies it in its own way. God’s kingdom has likewise been administered in different ways. Hebrews 1:1–2 says God spoke at various times and in various ways through the fathers, but has now spoken to us by His Son. Before, he says, we received slices of the pie; with Jesus we get the whole pie.
Because God gave the earth to man to rule, He could not legally take over by coming as God alone. He had to become a man, coming through the womb of a woman. That is also why the pastor says God is not in control the way people imagine: He is in charge, but He laid out that the earth would be administered by man.
He uses food as a picture of changing administrations. At first people ate seeds, fruit and vegetables. After the flood God allowed them to eat meat (Genesis 9:3). Under the law came the clean and unclean foods. Then, after the resurrection, Peter saw a sheet full of animals and heard the Lord tell him not to call common what God has cleansed (Acts 10:9–15). The rules changed as the hearts of people changed.
Now Jesus, the God-man, is seated at the right hand of God (Mark 16:19). Because He rules from heaven, this age is called the Kingdom of Heaven, and believers are called to administer it. That, the pastor says, is where kingdom faith begins: not the hard work of religious faith, but receiving what the kingdom has already provided.
Adopted as Sons, Not Servants
The foundation text is Ephesians 1:3–6: God “has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,” chose us before the foundation of the world, predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ, and made us accepted in the Beloved.
To explain adoption, the pastor describes a custom he teaches from Hebrew culture. When a servant brought food to the family table, all conversation stopped except for instructions. Once the servant left, the father explained his plans and reasons to his sons. But if the firstborn son grew close to a servant, he could ask his father to adopt that servant, and the father would take him into the family.
That, he says, is what Jesus did. The only begotten Son asked the Father for us, and we were brought into the family. We are now heirs and God’s inheritance. The table below sets out the contrast he draws.
| Servant | Adopted son |
|---|---|
| Hears only instructions, then leaves the room | Stays at the table to hear the Father’s reasons and plans |
| Prays, “Lord, tell me what to do today” | Knows why, what and how the outcome will be |
| — | Labors only to enter the rest of a finished work |
| Begs for help with every problem | Spends time getting to know the Father, as Adam did |
| Lives under a spirit of bondage to fear | Cries “Abba, Father” as an heir with Christ |
The verb tense matters too. God has blessed us. We are not trying to get Him to bless us, because Jesus declared, “It is finished.” The only labor left is the one in Hebrews 4:9–11: to be diligent to enter His rest, simply accepting and receiving blessings already given.
Condemnation Makes Us Hide
When Adam sinned, the pastor says, a cloak of iniquity came upon him, and he saw himself as inferior to who God had made him. He hid. Some preachers still see themselves that way and preach that believers are nothing. The Bible does say all have sinned, but it also says God has brought us into His glory, and Jesus came to make us a brand new creation.
Condemnation always hides. Peter, when Jesus showed him the abundance of the catch, fell at His feet and asked Jesus to depart from him because he was a sinful man (Luke 5:8). When people live condemned, they push God away even when He wants to heal, prosper or bless them.
God called to Adam and asked where he was. Adam answered that he was afraid because he was naked, and God asked who had told him that (Genesis 3:9–11). The pastor says the enemy works hard to plant condemnation early, through abuse or being forsaken.
David understood this. He wrote that when his father and mother forsake him, the Lord will take care of him (Psalm 27:10). Even while running from Saul, David knew God was a God of blessing and abundance.
When the ark returned to Jerusalem, David danced before the Lord with all his might. Michal, Saul’s daughter, despised him from the window, and he answered that he would become even more undignified (2 Samuel 6:14–22). The pastor says God loves that: no condemnation, no awkwardness, no guilt.
He adds an important balance. Everyone is at a different place, so we must not compare ourselves with one another. Even when a blessing does not seem to be manifesting yet, it is still yours. The point is to keep growing and to know you are not where you started.
Dominion and the Gift of Righteousness
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). God needed us born from heaven, like Jesus, so that we could take back our rightful authority. Those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17), not with a hard hand, but with love, care and compassion.
Dominion goes back to creation. In Genesis 1:26 God said, “Let Us make man in Our image… let them have dominion.” Dominion is a kingdom word; a kingdom’s domain is its territory, strength and wealth. The pastor notes that the Amplified Bible renders it as complete authority. But you cannot use authority while you feel condemned, just as a business owner who feels unqualified cannot lead his employees.
That is why the Lord deals with condemnation first: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). Psalm 8:4–6 adds a second witness. God’s mind is full of man; He crowned him with glory and honor and put all things under his feet.
Adam shows what authority looks like. God brought the animals to Adam to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called each one, that was its name (Genesis 2:19). Adam did not say that if God wanted them named He would do it Himself. The pastor applies this to sickness: instead of saying God would heal you if He wanted to, take authority in the name of Jesus.
He adds that David even took authority over his own soul, asking why it was cast down and telling it to hope in God (Psalm 42:11). “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men” (Psalm 115:16).
How did God make us fit to rule? 2 Corinthians 5:21: He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Righteousness is a gift. You were a sinner; now you are saved by grace and righteous. Satan keeps pointing you to your past or to some day in the future, but faith is now (Hebrews 11:1).
Colossians 2:13–15 shows how complete this is. God made us alive with Christ, forgave all trespasses, wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, nailed it to the cross, and disarmed principalities and powers. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36), and He who did not spare His own Son will freely give us all things (Romans 8:32).
Blessed With Heavens Best Prt5 the Fullness of God’s House
Every priest stood ministering daily, offering the same sacrifices that could never take away sins. But Jesus, after one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God (Hebrews 10:11–14). He sat down because the work is done. “By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.”
And we sit with Him. Ephesians 2:4–7 says God, rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ and made us sit together in the heavenly places, so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us. Forever, the pastor says, He intends to show you His goodness. Under the law, everything depended on your goodness. In Christ it depends on His, and He is flawless.
Paul was not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes (Romans 1:16–17). The pastor teaches that salvation is all-encompassing: healed, delivered, prospered, set free, empowered and given wisdom. In the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. You cannot lose that righteousness on a bad day, because Jesus earned it for you.
He points to Romans 8:14–17: we did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father,” and we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. If someone put a million dollars in your account and never told you, he asks, would it do you any good? The enemy’s main work is keeping believers from discovering their righteousness.
Then comes the fullness. Psalm 36:7–9 says the children of men trust under the shadow of His wings and are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of His house. The pastor teaches that the word carries the sense of being so filled you are drunk with it, and also refers to the ashes of the sacrifices. The blessings of God’s house, he says, are more than all the sacrificial ashes Israel ever produced.
Finally, 2 Peter 1:1–4. Peter, whose shadow healed the sick, writes to those who have obtained like precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Savior. Grace and peace are multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus; His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness; and through exceedingly great and precious promises we become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world.
So the pastor suggests a different kind of prayer: Lord, tell me again how much You love me. Teach me Your righteousness. Like the apostles, whom people recognized because they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13), the difference comes from time spent with Him. He closes by inviting anyone who has never received Jesus to become a new creation and receive a new heart.
Living Blessed This Week
Here are practical steps drawn from this message:
- Change the way you pray. Spend time asking the Father to tell you again how much He loves you, instead of only listing what you need.
- Answer condemnation with Romans 8:1. When the past is thrown at you, say aloud that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
- Take authority. Like Adam naming the animals, speak to problems in Jesus’ name rather than waiting for God to act alone.
- Talk to your soul. When you feel downcast, follow David’s example and tell your soul to hope in God.
- Stop comparing. Everyone grows at a different pace; thank God for the progress you have made.
- Feed on righteousness. Faith comes by hearing, so keep hearing what Jesus has done for you until it takes root.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is kingdom faith?
The pastor introduces it here as the theme of his next series. He contrasts kingdom faith with what religion calls faith, saying the difference is huge because kingdom faith takes all the work out of it. It explains, he says, why some believers see prayers answered and come through every attack like a bright, shiny new penny: they are receiving what the kingdom has already provided rather than striving to earn it.
What is the difference between disagreement and heresy?
The pastor says someone telling you something you disagree with is not heresy. In his teaching on Romans 8:15, heresy is the spirit of bondage to fear: anything that draws you away from God, such as teaching that God does not heal or warning that if you ask for the Holy Spirit you might receive something evil. Truth draws you closer to the Father; heresy pushes you away from Him.
Can I still sin after receiving the gift of righteousness?
The pastor acknowledges that believers still have weaknesses, but says the righteousness of God is a gift you cannot lose, because Jesus earned it. Trying to remove sin by your own effort never works, just as the daily sacrifices never took sin away. As you accept what He has done and grow in that revelation, your life lines up with God and you escape the corruption that is in the world.
