In\nthis teaching I will be talking about faith in the Kingdom of God and how we\ncan expand our faith and build our faith for increase more and more.  First, let\u2019s see the Kingdom we are living\nout of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 10:10 (KJV) <\/em><\/strong>The thief cometh not, but for to steal,\nand to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they\nmight have it more abundantly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus talks about a thief and Satan is characterized\nas a thief.  So, anything that kills,\nsteals and destroys, that\u2019s Satan.  Jesus\ntold us He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two kingdoms and one is the Kingdom\nof God\u2019s dear Son and we find that in Colossians.  The other kingdom is the kingdom of darkness\nand that\u2019s the kingdom we have been translated out of and into the Kingdom of\nGod\u2019s dear Son. The kingdom of darkness is characterized by its leader and its\nmodeled after its king who is Satan.  The\nkingdom of darkness is known for its scarcity and lack and not enough.  The Kingdom of God\u2019s dear Son, the Kingdom of\nthe Lord Jesus Christ is known for abundance. \nSo, you have a kingdom of scarcity and a Kingdom of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, I want to remind you what Jesus told us\nthat clearly defines each king and each kingdom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 10:10 (KJV) <\/em><\/strong>The thief cometh not, but for to steal,\nand to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they\nmight have it more abundantly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scripture clearly defines which kingdom a\nperson is operating out of.  So, let\u2019s\nlook at Matthew 14:15<\/em> and see this\nKingdom of God\u2019s dear Son and its increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 14:15-16 (KJV) <\/em><\/strong>And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,\nThis is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that\nthey may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 <\/sup>But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew\n14:16 (NLT2) <\/em><\/strong>But Jesus said, \u201cThat isn\u2019t necessary\u2014you feed them.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to see something\nhere.  This is a very important teaching\nin the Bible showing us the operation of the Kingdom of God when there was not\nenough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest sources of\npressure is money or the lack thereof.  I\nwould say that most marriages get in trouble because of money and all kinds of\nthings because of the pressure of money, money, money, money; don\u2019t have\nenough, where is it going and so forth.  That\u2019s\nnot all, the government who doesn\u2019t make anything wants what you got.  To them enough is not enough and they want\nmore and more. I don\u2019t put them down because the pressure is on them.  So, the kingdom of darkness\u2019s operation out\nhere, the way a person gets theirs is for them to get it off of you.  It models itself after its king.  A lot of God\u2019s people are in the Kingdom of\nGod\u2019s dear Son but are still operating under that not enough kingdom and have\nnot switched over just because they don\u2019t have revelation of their Kingdom.  I think one of the things Jesus is trying to\ndo, He is trying to get them to switch and to see the difference.  That\u2019s what Jesus was doing in Matthew 14:16<\/em>, when they had to feed the\nmultitude and there was not enough food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew\n14:16 (NLT) <\/em><\/strong>But Jesus said, \u201cThat isn\u2019t necessary\u2014you feed them.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that is not pressure, I don\u2019t\nknow what it is.  Jesus is not doing this\nto make them feel like He is purposely putting them in a bad position; because\nin the natural they don\u2019t have it there. \nThey had some money in their treasury, but Judah is still stealing from\nit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My point is, God takes us from faith to faith.  God wants all of us to do some things in the\nKingdom that costs money, but He wants us to do it by way of the Kingdom.  He won\u2019t allow me to beg because that\u2019s the\nother Kingdom.  He wants us to use our\nfaith in Him and the Kingdom way to increase more and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Matthew\n14<\/em>, let\u2019s see of the need they naturally could not meet but once they switched\nover, He is trying to show them there is plenty in Daddy\u2019s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 14:17-21 (KJV) <\/em><\/strong>And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and\ntwo fishes. 18 <\/sup>He said, Bring them hither to me. 19\n<\/sup>And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took\nthe five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and\nbrake, and gave the loaves to his\ndisciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20\n<\/sup>And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the\nfragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21<\/sup> And\nthey that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nwas plenty of food for all with much left over. \nOne of the signs of the Kingdom of God is abundance.  I think there were twenty to twenty-five\nthousand people, but He fed them with two fish and five loaves of bread.  The two fish and five loaves represented seed\nthe little boy sowed or gave to feed the multitude. The little boy was hearing\nthe Word and faith came for him to operate in the Kingdom of God and he\nreleased his faith and gave Jesus the food and there was plenty for all to eat\nand he got to take some home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Daddy\u2019s house He has got plenty.  If you remember, when Israel left Egypt to go to Canaan, God didn\u2019t take them right to Canaan but they came through the wilderness.  He daily gave them manna for food except He gave them double the day before the Sabbath.  My point to is, in the wilderness He would not let them stack it up.  It\u2019s almost like He takes you through, you trust Him first and then in Canaan He\u2019ll stack it up for you; because if He stacked it up too soon you might start worshiping it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\njust want you to know, sometimes God directs you to take your next step by\ntelling you to sow something you have never sown because He wants to do something,\nHe\u2019s never been able to do for you.  God\nis not doing it to put pressure on you. He\u2019s doing it to show you who you\nare.  He\u2019s trying to expose the real sons\nof God.  He\u2019s trying to let you see that\nfor once you have the capacity with Him to feed twenty-five thousand people if\nHe asked you to.  We have to stop looking\nat it like He is putting pressure you. \nNo.  You are putting pressure on\nthe Covenant; because He told you, \u201cGive and it shall be given unto you,\u201d and Jesus\ntold you, \u201cI am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating\nby the world you keep staying under money pressure and something eventually is\ngoing to give; because you are not meant to be under money pressure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nkind of pressure can produce all kinds of health problems; because you are not\nmeant to exist under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m\nnot saying you are not making enough in your paycheck; but I want you to see\nyou are not living off of it because you live off of your giving in the Kingdom\nof God where you have some peace and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 14:17 (KJV) <\/em><\/strong>For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but\nrighteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy\nin the Kingdom, because you are not meant for pressure.  You are not meant to worry about one\nthing.  You just wave your hands like you\njust don\u2019t care.  That\u2019s the way you do\nit.  Lift your hands up to Jesus just\nlike you don\u2019t care.  Somebody put\npressure on you, you just say, I don\u2019t care. \nI am care free.  You are not going\nto put pressure on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nminister of God says a big bill comes to the ministry in the mail and he lifts\nit up and says, \u201cJesus, You got mail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s\nwhat you say, \u201cJesus, You got mail.\u201d  It\ndoesn\u2019t mean you are negligent.  It means\nGod promised you He would meet that need and if you have sown a seed, you got a\nright for a harvest; because that\u2019s the way you increase more and more in the\nKingdom of God, the Kingdom of abundance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
