One Day Every Follower of Jesus Will Influence the Culture & Nations

By Pastor Glynn Adams

If you were to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, it would tell you the big picture of God’s intent for earth and its citizens.  His story begins in the Old Testament in Genesis with the creation of earth and mankind – male and female, giving Adam dominion to carry out God’s governmental system called the Kingdom of God, the Serpent and the fall of Adam, and continues with God raising up a people from which His Seed will come to redeem mankind because of the fall of Adam.

The New Testament is the story of God sending His only begotten Son, born of a virgin, to redeem mankind and to give back to mankind what the Serpent stole from mankind in the fall –the Kingdom, authority, and dominion.  To redeem as many as will receive Him and since the Holy Spirit is holy, Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of sin to clean man’s vessel so the Holy Spirit can live in him.

Now what is this Kingdom that the Scriptures are talking about?  There is the Kingdom in Heaven where God lives that Paul calls the Third Heaven and there are two Kingdoms in this world system on earth.  The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan.  While you are on this earth you will be part of one or the other; there are no other choices.   The Kingdom of God is the rule of God.  It is a governmental system in which God rules and influences mankind and nations to live the ways of God and the Kingdom ministry is to influence mankind and the nations to be ruled by God and to live by the ways of God.  The Kingdom is to resist evil and anyone and anything that exalts itself against the Word of God. Jesus stood against religion and so should we!!!  We stand against the ways of Satan and do not let him have his way in the nations.  That is your spiritual responsibility as a Kingdom citizen because that was the works of Jesus Christ and we are His workmanship to do His works also.

In the Kingdom; you are the church.  The building is not the church.  The church consists of God’s born again from above citizens of the Kingdom.  John 3:1-21 explains how you become a Kingdom citizen.  The Bible in Hebrews 10:23-27 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering for He who promised is faithful.  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.  For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.”

The church is the administrator of the Kingdom of God on this earth.  We assemble together wherever we can – not to listen to sermons, the religious traditions of men that make the Word of God of no effect, entertainment, and to play religious games in the name of God and then go to the comfort of our home to sit on our ass while the world goes to hell. No!!!  We assemble together for encouragement, for fellowship, to love one another, to encourage one another, to be equipped, to learn from one another, pray for one another, bear  burdens of one another,  encouragement and courage  to get prepared to go out into a hostile culture and on the dangerous streets of America among dangerous people as Kingdom citizens, as sheep among wolves where we as Kingdom citizens are to influence the multitudes, to lead them to become born from above to become citizens of the Kingdom of God, and to encourage them and equip them as disciples of Christ and citizens of the Kingdom of God to live by the ways of Jesus and  do His will on earth as it is done in heaven.  It’s not about going to a building but going to where the people are!!!

We are created in the image and likeness of God and while He was on this earth, He said we will do greater works than He did on this earth because we have the Holy Spirit and there will be more of us than one of Him.  We don’t do activity for activity-sake which is what marks false religion in America.  What can be more spiritual indeed than living a whole and abundant life before a holy God in obedience?  True spirituality in the Bible is obeying the commands of Scripture, loving God with all our heart, body, and soul and the second is like the first, to love our neighbor as ourselves.  Life is too short and hell is too real to go to a building to participate in the traditions of men and to hide behind some false religious experience.

For your information, there is no evidence that Jesus came to earth to start a new religion called Christianity – religion is the idea of man.  Jesus called the religious leaders a brood of vipers.  Jesus came to earth to take back from Satan and to give back to man the Kingdom, God’s authority and power that was lost in the fall of Adam.   Man also received back dominion that Adam lost to Satan.  Dominion means to “rule” or “manage.”  God’s desire is for His sons (the word sons, man or mankind is plural – it means both men and woman) to rule and influence all of mankind and the nations to the ways and will of God on earth as it is in heaven.

“And He (Jesus) said to them (the crowd of people), ‘I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also because for this purpose I have been sent.”  (Luke 4:43) Now you know the real purpose for Jesus coming to this earth – to preach the Kingdom of God.   How important do you think this Kingdom message is for everyone in America (including you) and in the nations today?  Jesus said this in Mathew 24:13-14, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.  And this gospel (gospel means good news) of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come.”  “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you.” (Mathew 6:33)

My friends, forget what you have been taught by some pastor and his religion.  You miss the Kingdom; you miss Jesus!!! The only message Jesus preached was the Kingdom of God – “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17) Jesus did not preach on healing, He healed.  He did not preach on deliverance from demons, He delivered people from demons and demonic sicknesses.   Jesus hung out with sinners and ate with sinners because He loved His neighbor as Himself.    Jesus went to where the people where and He ministered to them.  These are the things we are to do in the Kingdom because we are in His image and likeness and we have been created to do the works of Jesus.  “Jesus said in John 14:12, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father.”

Throughout the entire Bible you will read about the Kingdom of God.  It’s in the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi and in the New Testament Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God over one hundred times.  In the Book of Acts 1:3, Jesus spent forty days after the resurrection talking about what?  The Kingdom of God to His disciples.  Not about the cross, not about hell, not about His suffering – He talked about the Kingdom of God His disciples where about to undertake in this world.

So, by now it ought to make sense to conclude that if our world or its religions has no answers to the questions we ask and no solutions to the problems we have created, then it might be wise to look to another for help.  That is Jesus Christ and His Kingdom of God.   If you can come to understand that this Kingdom stems from a parallel universe called Heaven and that the Creator is a King who is always extending His territory to man and the nations and the King’s desire is for YOU to be part of His family business so you can run it for Him on earth to influence mankind and the nations.  What a promise!!!! You can find significance for your life and also fulfill the purpose as to why you were created!!!  “The heavens – even the heavens are the Lord’s but the earth He has given to the children of men.” (Psalms 115:16)

As a matter of fact, the purpose and goal of Jesus coming to this earth was to communicate His ideas and concepts from His mind to our mind.   That is why we renew our mind (Romans 12:2) with the washing of the water of the Word to remove our ideas from our mind so we can receive His ideas in our mind.  “Let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus.” (Philippines 2:5)

Every person born into this world is born with the fallen nature of Satan.  To renew your mind is not that complicated.  Your mind records everything you have heard, seen, tasted, experienced and is forever recorded in your soul – which consists of your mind, will, and emotions.   God’s process for renewing your mind is as you read the Word of God and mediate on the Word and then act on what you have read, then the worldly ideas that are in your mind from your old nature is washed from your mind by the water of the Word and God’s ideas replace them.  The King’s Word is law; it contains His ideas and we are to embrace them and to obey them and we have no opinion or private interpretation of His Word!!!

So, let’s recap what God had in mind when He created man and placed him on this physical earth?   It was God’s idea to share His invisible Kingdom Government in Heaven with His offspring, which He called mankind and sons, and to give to them His nature and characteristics so they would extend His invisible Kingdom Government to the Physical realm called earth.  It is called the Kingdom of God.

In Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them (let mankind) rule (have dominion) over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”   Notice here that God did not intend for man to rule over man.  This statement is the first declaration of God’s intent for you and me, and encompasses the total purpose, assignment, potential, passion, and design of man as an entity.

The second declaration of God’s intent for you and me as sons of God was to extend His rule, His will, and nature from heaven to earth.  His desire was to manifest His glorious character, wisdom, righteous judgments, and purposes in the earth realm through the administrative leadership of His sons on earth.  Man was created with the gifts and divine nature when he is born from above into the Kingdom to execute God’s will on the earth.

The ultimate goal of God the Creator was to colonize earth with the ways of heaven and establish it as a visible territory of the invisible Kingdom of God.  His purpose was to have His will done and the heavenly kingdom to function on earth just as it is in heaven.  The Bible says that in the fullness of time Jesus came to earth.  The fullness brought Rome to power so He did not have to explain Kingdom in detail to the people because they were under the rule of Caesar’s Roman kingdom and knew exactly how it operated.

Caesar would extend his territory by sending a governor to a region to colonize that region to become a Roman Colony that would reflect the character and will of Caesar.  That is exactly what Jesus did when He came to earth.  He established His Kingdom, taught His disciples all about the Kingdom of God, character in the Kingdom, conduct in the Kingdom and ministry in the Kingdom.  Jesus later sent them out to make disciples and to colonize that region to be influenced by the character and will of God.  That mandate has not changed today while we continue to ignore it!!!

When you are born from above into the Kingdom, you become a citizen of the Kingdom and since you will be representing the Kingdom government, you are an Ambassadors of the Kingdom of God.  We represent heaven on earth – we are to bring the will of God, the character of God, the ways of God, the morality of God and to train and equip them to bring this Kingdom of God to earth as it is in heaven.  One only has to look at the foolishness we are doing in church today to see how far from the will of God we are in America.

The first thing Jesus did after the wilderness experience was to proclaim, “Repent the Kingdom of God is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17)  Change your ways, the way you think, think Kingdom, it is here.  Then in Luke 4:43, Jesus said, “I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also because for this purpose I have been sent.”  HATH GOD REALLY SAID?!!!  Yes, He did and that is our purpose and mission also in America.  To proclaim the Kingdom of God by bringing His will in heaven to earth.  Jesus is clear, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Pray like this, Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.

The Kingdom is all about influence.   Do you realize that influence is more potent than power.  Jesus said the Kingdom is like yeast.  Put a dab in and it will spread all over.  Unfortunately, because of religion, we have ignored our spiritual mandate and responsibilities and we have the fruit to prove it – Satan rules America, we are a captured nation, and we have become a dwelling place for demons, demonic occult gods and their manifestations are all over our nation!!

In Mathew 24:43, “Jesus said, “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.”  The context of this verse is the second coming of Christ.  Perhaps it has a relevance to our day and hour.  For many years now our house (nation) in America has been broken into and is being stolen by the thief –   Satan and his powers of darkness which include some of our:  Presidents, politicians in both House and Senate, Corporations, news media, our education systems, demonic occults, and those advocating the New World Order just to name a few.

We know exactly what the thief is doing and because too many of us are cowards, ignorant, and apathetic, we continue to see no evil while allowing the thief and his followers to capture our nation, steal our freedoms, and degrade our culture without little to no resistance when it is our responsibility and, in our power, to do so!!  This is in itself pure evil on the part of our pastors, churches, and citizens for allowing our enemies to steal our nation.  Because of our sinful ways and disobedient to God, the Kingdom of Satan – and not the Kingdom of God – has come to America and no one is coming to bail us out!!

Satan and his powers of darkness are indoctrinating our children to the ways of Satan, mutilating our children, and teaching sexuality to our young children.  These demonic occults are doing rituals to summon the ancient gods and their strongholds to further capture our children and our citizens in America.  How long will we tolerate and remain silent on these serious spiritual issues?

God can restore us but only if we repent from our heart and change our wicked religious ways otherwise, we will learn obedience through much pain, discomfort, and even death!!!  God bless, I remain His Ambassador, warrior, and watchman, Glynn Adams (Special thanks to the Late Myles Munroe, the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer, Pastor Reggie McNeal of Leadership Network, and John W.
