God and His Spirit want to Brief You

"The angels always want to set you up with divine appointments, so expect miracles to happen."

~Kevin Zadai

So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God's kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from Him. Then all these less
important things will be given abundantly.
—Matthew 6:33 TPT

DISCUSSION:
This week, we will discuss the fact that God and His Spirit want to brief you. He wants to reveal strategies for your life and region, wherever you live. Strategy is important to the Lord. When I was in Heaven, I saw that the kingdom of God was advancing and that Jesus and the angels were working in harmony. It was amazing! Heaven has a command center and is always very busy. So again, I want to encourage you that God has a strategy for your life and where you live. And He wants to tell you what that is.

CHASE AFTER GOD'S KINGDOM
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus essentially instructs us to prioritize and pursue God's kingdom as if we are chasing it. If we are recklessly abandoned in our chase after God and His kingdom, all of our other needs will be provided. You just have to make sure that you are putting what's important above everything else, which is Him and His kingdom. Jesus promised in the same verse that all these other things would be given to you abundantly.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace and joy. —Romans 14:17 TPT

Romans 14:17 explains that the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules concerning food and drink but the realm of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of righteousness. He's the One Who will fill you to where you're overflowing. When you are flooded with His presence, it can actually make you act like you're intoxicated. In the Book of Acts, when Jesus' disciples were baptized in the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they appeared drunk. Peter had to explain to the crowd who had gathered that they were not drunk, as they supposed, but were filled with the Spirit, as Joel prophesied (Acts 2:15-18). Likewise, we all need to be filled with righteousness, peace, and joy from the Spirit of God; this is the kingdom of God.

God wants us to do our part in pursuing Him and His Kingdom. If you do, He will start to brief you and share strategies. He will reveal what is going on with your life and your area. The Lord will show you what He wants you to do in specific situations when you are faithful to do what's right.

o Discuss what it means to chase God and His Kingdom with abandonment.

YOU WILL SUFFER PERSECUTION
How enriched you are when you bear the wounds of being persecuted for doing what is right! For that is when you experience the realm of Heaven's kingdom.  —Matthew 5:10 TPT

We often hear teachings about Matthew 6:33 and Romans 14:17, but hardly anyone talks about persecution. The truth is that you will suffer persecution at times for being a Christian and standing up for righteousness. Some believers encounter persecution for their faith all the time, others of us not as much. In certain countries, it's more difficult than others, but we are to essentially bear the wounds of Jesus. We inherited his sufferings as well as the blessings. So it is crucial to understand that you will sometimes be persecuted for following God's will.

GOD'S KINGDOM IS ALWAYS ADVANCING
God's kingdom is constantly advancing. It's always around us but in the other unseen realm. However, it's supposed to manifest in this realm.

• Believers have been given a supernatural endowment of the Holy Spirit.

• The kingdom of God manifests when the Spirit of God ministers through us to others.

• All of us are called to advance God's kingdom by allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us.

• When you gather together and love each other, the kingdom manifests. Examples are praying for each other, teaching the Word, mentoring, encouraging each other, and giving to those in need.

• The kingdom of God will increase in and through your life as you are faithful.

LOOK FOR WAYS TO GIVE
We encourage everybody to have a food pantry and a stockpile of necessities. That way, after you pray for someone, if they need food, water, blankets, socks, or whatever, you can help them. We at Warrior Notes do this everywhere we go. We buy pallets of food, bag them and give them away at our conferences and events. We are always looking for ways to give.

Our motive for giving is not to get rewarded, but just because Jesus gave unconditionally, without considering equality with God as something that could be grasped (Philippians 2:5-11). He became a servant and gave his life, knowing we couldn't ever pay Him back. Jesus did this to fulfill the purpose for which the Father sent Him. And so that's the attitude we must have.

God will prosper you. You reap what you sow; however, you don't sow, so you can just get back. You do it because you love God. Matthew 6:33 guarantees that if you seek God's face, Jesus, and the things of the kingdom, then all your needs will be provided. The word "abundantly" in the Passion translation means they will be given to you overflowing, more than you would need.

SELFLESS LOVE AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities. —Romans 8:5 TPT

The world's mindset is the opposite of how Jesus teaches us to be in His kingdom. Usually, they do not want to do anything to benefit others, just themselves. In Romans 8:5, Paul highlights that people driven by the flesh are selfish, only doing what benefits themselves. We encounter the selfishness of people all the time. However, as Christians who have the Kingdom of God in us, we should think about how we can help others, even if it costs us and we don't get paid back. Many people don't understand that you could actually do God's will and lose money. I've obeyed God when there was no guarantee I would get paid back. I understood that God knew, and He always paid back. Regardless, you must give from a heart where you don't care if you're paid back or not.

Every offering you give and everything you do should flow out of your love for God. You should obey Him because you love Him, not because you want to get something out of it. You can rest in peace, knowing you could do the right thing and suffer for it; however, God sees it all and always rewards you.   

THE REALM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Paul teaches in Romans 14:17, that the kingdom of God is not just a bunch of rules about what you should eat or drink; it's not all these different restrictions and Sabbath guidelines; it's about living in the realm of the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit, you are filled with righteousness and experience the freedom that comes from serving God. So it's not just doing good works or obeying laws; the kingdom of God is literally the Holy Spirit fulfilling the righteousness of God in you. Then it manifests through you.

God wants you to expect opportunities to come where you can give food out and share the love of Jesus with many people. Remember to have that expectation. The manifestation will come through the church, the body of Christ, including all of us connected to Warrior Notes. We're all part of the body of Christ.

Remember that you're really doing God's kingdom business when you go about your business. I'm always looking for opportunities where the angels have opened the door because the kingdom wants to advance. The angels always want to set you up with a divine appointment, so expect miracles to happen. Expect God to heal and deliver people in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER:

Father, I thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit touching every person right now.  Lord, I pray that they feel Your love and that they sense and encounter Your Spirit of revelation. Lord, let Your power manifest. Thank You, Father, that the Holy Spirit is visiting and healing the sick right now. I rebuke sickness and command every evil spirit to desist in Your maneuvers against the people of God. I command every hindering spirit, every spirit of depression to go, in the name of Jesus. Every evil spirit that is afflicting a person's body, leave now, in Jesus' name. I declare healing and deliverance are manifesting. Father, thank You that prosperity will come. Thank you, Lord, that You will help them with their finances. Supernatural provision will come by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, I thank You that Your angels are surrounding the homes and the dwelling places of every believer, causing supernatural events. And I thank You, Lord, that many people will come to these fellowships and receive You, Father, through Your Son. Thank You, Lord, that Jesus will be exalted. In the name of Jesus, amen.

1. The kingdom of God is constantly advancing. Discuss how it manifests from the unseen realm around us to our natural world.

2. Discuss how the supernatural endowment of the Holy Spirit empowers us as believers to advance God's kingdom.

3. Romans 14:17 describes the kingdom of God as the realm of the Holy Spirit, not a bunch of rules and restrictions. How does this apply to us, and why is this revelation important?

4. Verses like Matthew 5:10 that teach about persecution are often neglected. Why is it crucial for believers to understand that they may suffer when doing what's right?

5. What was Jesus' motive for sacrificing His life for us? What is the difference between the world's mindset and a godly perspective concerning giving and serving others?
