17 Jan Kingdom Faith
Kingdom Faith Overview
In this powerful sermon on Kingdom Faith, Pastor explores how believers must learn to operate according to heavenly principles rather than worldly systems. Drawing from the concept that ‘God is good and Satan is bad’ without variance, he explains how Christians are called to live as pilgrims passing through this earth while demonstrating the Kingdom of Heaven. The message emphasizes that all good gifts come from our Father in heaven, while corruption stems from this fallen world system. Using the analogy of aerodynamics – where thrust and lift overcome gravity and drag – Pastor illustrates how faith can elevate believers above worldly oppression. He challenges the common Christian mindset of waiting for heavenly blessings ‘someday’ and instead declares that Jesus came to give abundant life NOW. The sermon focuses on ‘calling those things that are not as though they were,’ emphasizing the power of confession and heart-based faith over intellectual understanding. Christians must learn to see and declare what God is doing rather than focusing on negative circumstances.

Kingdom Faith Notes
Pastor begins this transformative message by establishing that believers live between two kingdoms – Caesar’s temporal kingdom and God’s eternal Kingdom of Heaven. As pilgrims passing through this earth, our responsibility is to demonstrate heavenly principles rather than conform to worldly systems that ultimately lead to bondage and slavery. The foundational truth that anchors everything is simple yet profound: God is good and Satan is bad, with absolutely no variance or change in this reality. This principle never shifts, never varies, and never becomes confused. Every good gift flows down from our Father in heaven, while every form of corruption originates from this fallen earth system. Understanding this distinction is crucial for operating in kingdom faith. The pastor illustrates worldly bondage through the example of debt, noting how entire nations live enslaved to lenders, trapped in systems designed to control rather than liberate. In contrast, God’s kingdom operates on principles of freedom, abundance, and genuine prosperity. Many Christians mistakenly believe they must wait until heaven to experience God’s blessings, but Jesus declared in John 10:10 that He came to give life abundantly – not eventually, but now. This abundant life is our present inheritance, not a future hope. The powerful analogy of aerodynamics reveals how kingdom faith operates. Just as aircraft overcome gravity and drag through sufficient thrust and lift, believers can rise above worldly oppression through applying spiritual principles. Most Christians remain grounded, complaining about the drag and gravity of circumstances, never developing enough spiritual thrust to lift above their situations. The key lies in understanding that confession with our mouth, combined with belief in our heart, creates the spiritual dynamics needed for breakthrough. Romans 10:9-10 reveals this powerful combination – heart belief unto righteousness and mouth confession unto salvation (which encompasses healing, deliverance, freedom, and every blessing). David understood this principle, declaring in Psalm 27:13 that he would have lost heart unless he believed he would see God’s goodness in the land of the living – not someday in heaven, but in his present reality. This requires a shift from focusing on what the devil is doing to seeing what God is accomplishing, from prophesying doom to declaring divine promises.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to live between two kingdoms?
Living between two kingdoms means recognizing that while we physically exist in Caesar’s temporal kingdom (this world system), we operate according to the principles and authority of God’s Kingdom of Heaven. We give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar but give to God what belongs to God.
How can I experience God’s blessings now instead of waiting for heaven?
Jesus declared He came to give abundant life now, not eventually. By applying kingdom principles through faith-filled confession and heart belief, you can rise above worldly limitations and experience your inheritance today.
What is the aerodynamics analogy teaching about faith?
Just as aircraft overcome gravity through thrust and lift, believers can overcome worldly oppression through spiritual thrust (confession) and lift (heart faith). Sufficient spiritual momentum elevates you above earthly drag and gravity.
Why do many Christians remain in bondage despite being saved?
Many Christians lack knowledge of kingdom principles and focus on worldly limitations rather than God’s promises. They never develop enough spiritual thrust through confession and faith to rise above their circumstances.
How do I call things that are not as though they were?
This involves speaking God’s promises over your circumstances rather than agreeing with negative situations. You declare what God says about your situation while believing in your heart until faith produces the reality.
What’s the difference between worldly prosperity and kingdom prosperity?
Worldly systems create prosperity through debt and bondage, making borrowers slaves to lenders. Kingdom prosperity comes through God’s blessing and favor, producing true freedom and abundance without enslaving conditions.
How do I know if I’m operating in kingdom faith or worldly thinking?
Kingdom faith focuses on what God is doing and declares His promises, while worldly thinking focuses on problems and speaks negatively. Kingdom faith produces peace, strength, and vision beyond circumstances.
