Kingdom Joy Made Full!
Kingdom Joy Made Full!
Posted by Paul and Loretta on October 13, 2018 at 10:05 PM
Grace to you kingdom citizens and peace be multiplied to you as you walk in victory daily!
Thanks be to God for you always as I keep you in my prayers making mention of you that you all be filled with the knowledge of His will with all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
It is a joy to minister this Word of Joy to you this month. Last month we looked into the life God gives us “In Christ Jesus” as being loaded with unlimited unfoldings of revelations and insights into His grace and His Kingdom. We want to give you more with this letter of faith. Jesus said before He left this world He wanted to give us a Word of encouragement with confidence!
“And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].” John 17:13 (AMP Classic)
“These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” John 15:11 (KJV)
Isn’t it wonderful that our king Lord wants His joy, delight and pleasure to remain with us as we walk in victory right here on this earth in the world? In I John 5, the Word declares that when we know that God hears us we know that we have the petitions we desire of Him.
The good thing is about these verses above is that Jesus fully intended for us to be left to the welfare of His kingdom. Most of us look to the word ‘welfare’ with bad feelings as if the word implies some sort of curse. That is because we live in a democracy, supported by capitalism, and if the government can’t really take care of its citizens then welfare is only looked at as a handout. While Jesus wants us to abide in the welfare of His kingdom we are too busy trying to make it. We are out trying to make a living. Instead of allowing the principles of His kingdom to work for us we find ourselves over-stressed, desperate and disillusioned. If we would spend half the time on keeping the principles of the kingdom as we spend on making it we would be a great society with all our needs met. The gap between the haves and the have-nots would be greatly closed.
“And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:22-24 (KJV)
Jesus realized that His leaving would bring great sorrow because He was one with God and His Kingdom. He realized that there would be a great sense of loss at His departure He knew that when the Spirit of Truth would come He would reveal Christ to us and it would bring comfort to us. You should know, however, a real king’s reputation is based on how his citizens are faring thus we are not only to be comforted but to be rejoicing that His kingdom (government) is here! His welfare system is a thing to be desired not shunned.
God must be your source of hope to have your joy made full. Hope is a target of intense expectation and faith is designed to pull that expectation into your present. God will not share your source of hope with anyone else. A king wants your dependency upon him and our King is no different. A governor's job is to make sure the citizens are partaking of the rights and privileges afforded them by the kingdom. The Holy Spirit’s job is to reveal what those (rights and privileges) are and lead you to them in Christ Jesus! This is the delight of Jesus Christ. This is His joy!
“May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.” Romans 15:13 (AMP Classic)
This verse is not for the sweet by, and by. It is for the here and now. This is why Jesus said: I will not leave you comfortless for I am sending another one like me. Not a substitute but another one like Him. He is here and He will guide you into the truth of the purpose for His kingdom if you will listen and drop your dependence upon this federal government and trust in, rely on and adhere to the Word of the Kingdom. This way the wicked one won’t steal the Word that has been sown in your heart.
“When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the wayside.” Matt 13:19 (KJV) underline my emphasis
Satan wants to keep you from being satisfied. He knows that once you get a taste of satisfaction from the principles of the kingdom via the covenants of the King you will never be the same. If satan can keep you distracted, discouraged and stressed he can keep you in his prison even though you are really free. Jesus said that you will know the truth and that the truth you know will make you free. The joy of Christ will bring satisfaction and will be your strength. Worship opens the door to this joy from the inside out.
“The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.” Proverbs 19:23
“They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.” Psalms 36:8
This is the will of the king. We are to be satisfied with the life He gives. Not because we are demanded to be but because He will bring you to a place where there are more blessings than you can deal with. He knows it’s more than enough and that we can be abundantly satisfied with it. You will have to manage what He brings you and if you can’t manage it you will lose it. His life In Christ is loaded with many beneficial things but worship is the key to entering into the joy of the Lord and abiding there.
Satisfaction comes when the bills are paid and the children are healthy. Satisfaction comes when the job or business is doing well and there is peace in the home. God has made even your enemies at peace with you and you are amazed at how good life is. That is what satisfaction looks like. Your prayers are being answered for you and also those who call on you to pray for them. You are not moved by money; money is moved by you and you are not afraid of evil tidings because your heart is fixed trusting in the God of your salvation. One harvest is lasting long enough for the next harvest and you are still having power to eat thereof. Look at what king David said.
“May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. May our barns be filled with crops of every kind. May the flocks in our fields multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands, and may our oxen be loaded down with produce. May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares. Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the LORD.” Psalms 144:12-15 (NLT)
Did you notice that the king said “our sons and daughters?” This is what a king desired for his people and Jesus our King is no different except he guarantees success when obedience to His principles are followed. His government gives us order! His government gives us influence and administration power! His government gives us distributions and protection with maintenance! God is responsible for our outcome when we are accountable. Joy is made full when our businesses are flourishing and we are replicating ourselves. Let’s allow the joy of Jesus to remain in our souls as we prosper and be in health. It would be so much better if we stopped making excuses for God and trust in Him to do His part Amen?
I trust that this Word of the kingdom message has been a blessing to you. Pass it forward to increase your harvest of hope and expand the kingdom territory.

The Deck Is Stacked (Tithing)
The Deck Is Stacked (Tithing)
Posted by Paul and Loretta on September 16, 2018 at 6:25 PM
Grace be unto you kingdom citizens and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and Jesus our King Lord.
Today we are going to continue to flow in the grace bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ by looking at life as a deck of cards. The abundant life that Christ gives us via His blood is the deck of cards that God gives those of us who are “In Christ Jesus.” Of course these are not ‘real’ playing cards so please bear with me for a bit. When God gives you a gift, revelation or insight it is loaded and it’s always for your good.
In our podcast series “The Deck is Stacked” we looked at the fact that Jesus is the acceptable year of the Lord. He is our Jubilee. He is the in between the Amen and the ‘there it is!’ This revelation is stacked with blessings. Once you truly realize that the One who died for you and was buried for you was raised up to be your Jubilee that should empower you to take courage that everything will be alright. What is the Jubilee you ask? Great! I hoped you would ask that. The Jubilee was the 50th year where God would allow His people to be released from any debts. It was the time when God would tell the people to rest their land by not allowing them to till or harvest the land during the whole year of Jubilee.
Sanctify the fiftieth year; make it a holy year. Proclaim freedom all over the land to everyone who lives in it—a Jubilee for you: Each person will go back to his family’s property and reunite with his extended family. The fiftieth year is your Jubilee year: Don’t sow; don’t reap what volunteers itself in the fields; don’t harvest the untended vines because it’s the Jubilee and a holy year for you. You’re permitted to eat from whatever volunteers itself in the fields. “In this year of Jubilee everyone returns home to his family property. Lev 25:11-13 (MSG)
And if anybody would ask “What shall we eat if we don’t plant in the year of Jubilee?” The Lord said that He would command a blessing on the 6th year and cause there to be enough for 3 years so that His people had enough to obey the law of the land.
“And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.” Lev. 25:20-22 (KJV)
Have a look at this same verse from the Basic English bible.
And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase. Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.” Lev 25:21 Basic English Bible
Jesus said in Luke 4 that the anointing from God was on Him to do just this for us. Let that sink in for a minute. I told you the deck was stacked in your favor. We no longer have any excuse not to tithe or give. Jesus says don’t worry about not having enough to get by because I am anointed to see that you thrive not just survive!
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” Matt 6:25-26 (KJV)
Maybe some of you who are reading this didn’t even realize Jesus was your Jubilee. He is if you proclaim that blessing for yourself. Jesus is your personal Savior and King. You must confess Him as such or salvation will not be yours in reality. The same with the Jubilee. It’s to everyone but it’s only on the believer. Jesus will keep you up during the sowing time and make what you have be enough, through whatever means necessary, until the reaping time. He is the Alpha and Omega and everything in between because Jesus is the acceptable year of the Lord. How loaded is that? Let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus. He thought it not robbery with God to be equal with God. This is family not religion! This is God’s supply and demand economic plan. This is about a government taking care of the people in it. Your children don’t wonder if there will be a meal, they just want to know what’s for dinner.
I can hear some of you saying “What about the starving people in India and Africa? Where is their Jubilee?” The answer is the same. Jesus is your Jubilee and He is their Jubilee. Just like you didn’t know about the Jubilee until you were told, no one else will know it either until someone tells them. Which is worse? The guy who knows about the Jubilee and doesn’t proclaim it or the guy who doesn’t proclaim it because he knows nothing of it? Why worry about the person who hasn’t heard of the Anointing of the Jubilee. You partake of the Jubilee and then help others to do the same. All the blessings of God in Christ Jesus are ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen.’ Who says yes and amen to them? We do. We are the establishing witness. That’s why Jesus said for us to “Go Ye..”
Most of our prayer life has to do with what we will wear and what we will eat and where will we live. Jesus came to change our prayer life. Yes we seem to know that God is good but how to translate that goodness into reality seems difficult for us.
“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” Ps 31:19 (KJV)
Here the Word says that God has goodness laid up for those of us who worship Him and that the goodness is worked out for those who use their faith without questioning God before people.
Now we can tithe as we ought to because Jesus has told us that He will keep us up while our seed is sown. No fear here. He has removed the fear and has given us great confidence that He will not let us down. Why would God ask for the tithe and then leave you hanging on a rope without a landing? The ones that say that tithing is not for today don’t know God as Father but as God of the universe who is not touched by the feelings of their infirmities. Jesus is our Jubilee and faith is the currency of His kingdom. Simply use your faith in His willingness to be our Jubilee and it will unleash the blessing that will last you between the time you planted the seed and the harvest you reap. Again I ask….How loaded is this card?
This revelation is definitely one your enemy (religion) doesn’t want you to know about. The devil already knows that we have power to tread on him and his ability so if you’ve gotten this far then he’s not your biggest problem...religion is. Religion has to keep you in a little fear so that you will tithe only where your membership is. Religion tries to keep you bound to their rules and regulations. That’s why religion has the bible and in addition their manual of membership.
There is a big difference between religion and kingdom so make sure you know what you are investing in. God says that He watches over His Word to perform it. He didn’t say he watches over religion to perform that. Who are you with? The God of the tithe and the Jubilee or whoever the head of religion is?
My wife Loretta and I speak the Word over our lives daily and we say this over our finances. This is tithing the tithe.
“We declare that the devourer is rebuked and that the windows of heaven are open and the blessing is poured out from YOUR vast resources into our present. Jesus as High Priest after the order of Melchizedek has promised that our 100 fold harvest is assured, and that He is our High Priest and our JUBILEE. Thank You LORD for everything and we plead the Blood of Jesus over what you have put in our hands to manage and we declare the decree that what we possess is Yours.” Confessions from Paul and Loretta’s prayer life.
I trust that this Word of the kingdom message has been a blessing to you. Pass it forward to increase your harvest of hope and expand the kingdom territory.
