20 Mar I Am Blessed with Heavens Best Part#5
Heavens Best Blessing Overview
Pastor delivers part 5 of ‘I Am Blessed with Heaven’s Best,’ exploring the profound difference between the Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. He reveals how God’s kingdom operates through earthly administration by mankind, comparing it to how the US Constitution remains constant while presidential administrations change how it’s applied. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus had to become fully man to legally rule and reign on earth, establishing the current Kingdom of Heaven period where Christ administers God’s kingdom from His heavenly throne. Central to the message is understanding our adoption as sons through Christ, moving beyond servant mentality to embrace our inheritance as heirs. Using Ephesians 1:3-6 as the foundation, the pastor teaches that believers are already blessed with every spiritual blessing, needing only to receive rather than work for God’s favor. He addresses the destructive power of condemnation that causes people to hide from God’s goodness, using examples of Adam’s fall and David’s uninhibited worship. The sermon promises an upcoming series on Kingdom faith, distinguishing it from religious faith and explaining why some believers experience consistent miracles while others struggle.

Heavens Best Blessing Notes
This powerful sermon unveils the magnificent structure of God’s kingdom administration, revealing why the current age operates as the Kingdom of Heaven rather than simply the Kingdom of God. The pastor brilliantly illustrates this concept using the US Constitution analogy – while the foundational document remains unchanged, different presidential administrations apply it differently based on their cabinet and approach. Similarly, God’s eternal kingdom principles remain constant, but the administration changes based on the heart condition of mankind, whom God appointed to rule and reign on earth.The necessity of Jesus becoming the God-man takes on profound significance in this context. Since God legally gave dominion to mankind, He couldn’t simply override that authority as deity alone. Jesus had to enter through the womb of a woman, becoming fully human while remaining fully God, to legally reclaim and administer the kingdom. This explains why God isn’t in control of our individual lives – He’s in charge of the overall structure, but we administer it through our choices and heart conditions.The sermon powerfully addresses the Hebrew adoption process that defines our relationship with God. When a firstborn son requested his father adopt a beloved servant, the father was obligated to comply. Jesus, as the only begotten Son, requested our adoption, making us legitimate heirs rather than mere servants. This transforms our entire approach to prayer and relationship with God – we’re not begging for scraps but claiming our inheritance as beloved children.Perhaps most liberating is the revelation from Ephesians 1:3-6 that we already possess every spiritual blessing. The pastor emphasizes that we’re not trying to get God to bless us – He already has. Our only labor is entering into rest and receiving what Christ has already accomplished. This directly confronts the religious mindset that keeps believers striving and working for God’s approval rather than resting in His finished work.The message powerfully addresses condemnation as the primary barrier to receiving God’s goodness. Using Adam’s response after sinning and Peter’s reaction to Jesus’ miracle, the pastor shows how condemnation causes us to hide from the very blessings God wants to pour out. David’s uninhibited worship demonstrates the freedom available when we truly grasp God’s heart toward us – dancing in the streets despite others’ opinions because we know our Father delights in blessing us.This foundational teaching sets the stage for understanding Kingdom faith, which operates entirely differently from religious faith. Instead of begging, pleading, and working for breakthrough, Kingdom faith simply receives from the abundance already provided. The pastor promises to explore this further, explaining why some believers consistently experience miracles while others struggle – it’s not about God’s willingness but about understanding our position and inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven?
The Kingdom of God is eternal and unchanging, while the Kingdom of Heaven refers to the current period where Jesus Christ administers God’s kingdom from His heavenly throne. It’s like the difference between the Constitution itself and how different presidents administer it.
Why did Jesus have to become human to rule and reign?
Since God legally gave dominion to mankind, He couldn’t override that authority as deity alone. Jesus had to become fully human while remaining fully God to legally reclaim and administer the kingdom on behalf of humanity.
How does the Hebrew adoption process apply to our relationship with God?
In Hebrew culture, a firstborn son could request his father adopt a beloved servant, and the father was obligated to comply. Jesus, as the only begotten Son, requested our adoption, making us legitimate heirs with full inheritance rights rather than servants.
Are we already blessed or do we need to seek God’s blessings?
According to Ephesians 1:3-6, we already possess every spiritual blessing in Christ. We’re not trying to get God to bless us – He already has through Jesus’ finished work on the cross.
Why do some believers struggle to receive God’s blessings?
Condemnation causes believers to hide from God’s goodness like Adam did after sinning. When we see ourselves as inferior rather than adopted children, we reject the very blessings God wants to give us.
What is Kingdom faith versus religious faith?
Kingdom faith simply receives from the abundance already provided without striving or working, while religious faith involves begging, pleading, and trying to earn God’s favor through works.
How should we respond when blessings don’t seem to manifest immediately?
We should maintain confidence that the blessings are ours regardless of current manifestation, understanding that everyone grows at different paces. It’s about our spiritual growth and development, not God’s unwillingness to bless us.
