Christian Podcast | The Kingdom Life

This is a guest sermon given by Jason Villanueva at Pax City Church in Wichita, Kansas. We explore the meaning behind the Hebrew word "hineni" and how when Yahweh called unto men to be a part of his plan, they simply responded "Here I am." We can do the same! God To Emptiness Genesis 1:1-5In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [a] 2 Now the earth was chaos (without form) and waste (void, empty) , darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Ruach Elohim was hovering upon the surface of the water.[b]3 Then God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good. So God distinguished the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” So there was evening and there was morning—one day.VOID - formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptinessEMPTY - an undistinguishable ruin ... without purpose. God to MosesExodus 3:1-8Now Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. So he led the flock to the farthest end of the wilderness, coming to the moutain of God, Horeb. [a] 2 Then the angel of Adonai appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. So he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, yet it was not consumed. 3 Moses thought, “I will go now, and see this great sight. Why is the bush not burnt?”4 When Adonai saw that he turned to look, He called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”So he answered, “Hineni.”5 Then He said, “Come no closer. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” So Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.7 Then Adonai said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their slave masters, for I know their pains. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, to bring them up out of that land into a good and large land, a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.God to IsaiahIsaiah 6:1-8In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw Adonai sitting on a throne, high and lifted up,[a] and the train of His robe filled the Temple. 2 Seraphim were standing above Him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 One called out to another, and said:“Holy, holy, holy, is Adonai-Tzva’ot! (Lord God Almighty, Lord of Hosts, Lord of Armies) The whole earth is full of His glory.”[b]4 Then the posts of the door trembled at the voice of those who called, and the House was filled with smoke. [c] 5 Then I said:“Oy to me! For I am ruined!For I am a man of unclean lips,and I am dwelling among a people of unclean lips.For my eyes have seen the King, Adonai-Tzva’ot!”6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said:“Behold, this has touched your lips.Your iniquity is taken away, and your sins atoned for.”8 Then I heard the voice of Adonai saying:“Whom should I send, and who will go for Us?”So I said, “Hineni. Send me.”1 Samuel 3:1-11The Lord Speaks to SamuelNow the boy Samuel was in the service of Adonai under Eli. In those days the word of Adonai was rare—there were no visions breaking through. 2 One day, Eli was lying down in his place—now his eyes had grown dim so that he could not see, 3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out. Samuel was lying down in Adonai’s Temple, where the ark of God was. 4 Then Adonai called, “Samuel!” So he answered, “Here I am.” 5 Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”But he replied, “I didn’t call—go back to sleep.” So he went back and lay down.6 Then Adonai called Samuel yet again. So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”But he answered, “I didn’t call, my son—go back to sleep.” 7 Now Samuel had not experienced Adonai yet, since the word of Adonai had not yet been revealed to him.8 Adonai called Samuel again for the third time. So he got up and went to Eli, and said “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that Adonai was calling the boy.9 So Eli said to Samuel, “Go back to sleep, and if He calls you, say: ‘Speak, Adonai, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went back and lay down in his place. 10 Then Adonai came and stood and called as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”11 Then Adonai said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone that hears it will tingle.Matthew 28:18Now the eleven disciples went to the Galilee, to the mountain Yeshua had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped; but some wavered. 18 And Yeshua came up to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. [c] 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh, 20 teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. And remember! I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”This is POST resurrection...

Thank you!God's glorious Kingdom spreads as God's people spread his Glory. The Lord began showing me that we are:Carriers of Heaven! The Lord wants to release the Kingdom of God through us, every where we go. Living in sync with his heart and his ways, obedient to the spirit in us, releasing heaven on earth in all things. Oaks of righteousness, on display for his glory. Vessels carrying his glory into the earth / sourced from a heavenly place. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,Ephesians 2:4BUT DO WE REALLY BELIEVE THIS?! What have we believed about who we are in Christ? What thoughts do we have toward ourselves?  Our abilities  Our inadequacies   Our lack?We need to bring our thoughts under the judgement of the word. Hebrews 4:12-13 - For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.Division of Soul & Spirit - Is this me, or is this God? Is this the mind of Jason, of is this the Mind of Christ!? How am I thinking? Am I setting my mind on the flesh ( soul ) or am I setting my mind on the Spirit? JUDGE MY THOUGHTS LORDSubmit your thoughts and attitudes to God for judgment. Lord, here’s how I’m feeling. Here’s what I’m thinking. Here’t the current attitude of my heart. Give your judgement, Lord. Is this Soul? Is this Spirit? Are we SOUL thinking or are we SPIRIT thinking? Romans 8:6-8 - For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.Is my mind set on the flesh, or is my mind set on the Spirit? We can’t sort out the flesh by acting in the flesh. We sort out the flesh by acting in the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 - For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, 4 since the weapons of our warfare† are not of the flesh, but are powerful† through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments 5 and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge† of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.Stronghold : a fortified, military stronghold; a strong-walled fortressJoshua 6:20 - So the troops shouted, and the trumpets sounded. When they heard the blast of the trumpet, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed.† The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.

S1 E3: Our Glorious Destiny In ChristWhat if you knew who'd you be in 5 years, or in 10 years? Scripture tells us we're being conformed into the image of Christ.

Thank you!Citizenship in the Kingdom of God promises A Glorious Destiny in Christ, as we are being conformed into the image of the son. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whoi have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30This word IMAGE: 1504 eikṓn (from 1503 /eíkō, "be like") – properly, "mirror-like representation," referring to what is very close in resemblance (like a "high-definition" projection, as defined by the context). Image (1504 /eikṓn) then exactly reflects its source (what it directly corresponds to). For example, Christ is the very image (1504 /eikṓn, supreme expression) of the Godhead (see 2 Cor 4:4; Col 1:15).Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.Philippians 1:6We must recognize that the sin, struggles and temptations we face are COMMON TO MAN.We must recognize that if we are IN CHRIST, we are going through the process, and it's the SAME PROCESS. We partner with God in this process in our lives. We partner with God in this process in the lives of others. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.Ephesians 5:25-27   4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4-6How are you loving people in their process? Love allows for empathy. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Hebrews 4:15-16We empathize with weakness.
