The Royal Family - The Royal Wedding
The Great Banquet

- His servants are the prophets of the Jews.
- The invited guests are the nation of
- Everyone in the streets are Gentiles.
- The person without wedding garments is the person who was not covered by the blood of Jesus.
Jesus

The Judgment Seat of Christ
This is when Jesus rewards believers for how they lived their lives on earth and how we shined the light of the Good News to the world.

The Royal Family - Overpower Evil (notes)
The Royal Family - Overpower Evil
I Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Jesus
- Came to establish The Kingdom of God and He left a group of people who would keep The Kingdom going until His return.
- Came to destroy the works of the devil not only by His personal ministry but by the ministry of the church--the royal priesthood, dedicated nation, God redeemed.
John 10:9-11 (AMP)
9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). 11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [Own] life for the sheep.
Jesus Came To establish His Kingdom and left a group of people who would know that they are part of that Kingdom. Good always overpowers evil, evil will not prevail, evil will not triumph over good but good will overcome evil.
Satan Comes

- To destroy people. Last week we saw how He came through a young man filled with darkness to try to kill one of our leaders. He took the lives of 6 people and wounded many more.

The Helper - Values & Mandates (notes)
The Helper - Values & Mandates
Joel 2:28-29
And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Son Life’s Vision is to reach the lost hurting people in this areas with the Good News of Jesus and to see them grow into strong followers of the Lord and His Word.
As We Prepare to enter a new season as a church let’s prepare ourselves for a great outpouring of the Spirit followed by supernatural visions and dreams. Prophecy will be very accurate and very powerful in our lives as God begins to reveal what He will do in our future.
Proverbs 29:18 (Amplified Bible)
Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]--blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.
I Believe
There is a difference between visions and dreams.
With vision I can see where I am going while with a dream I know where I am going.
Principle
What makes a vision possible is values and mandates.
Values
A person’s principles or standards of behavior, one’s judgment of what is important in life.
Our Values:
- God’s presence
- God’s Word
- Each other
- Family
- Life
- Fellowship
- Hurting people
- Worship
- Spiritual gifts
- Lost people
Mandate
- An official order or commission to do something. To be an international body of believers.
- Jesus said all authority has been given unto me in heaven and earth go and make disciples of all nations.
- Jesus gave the church authority to reach nations. This is our mandate. There are many nations in
Our Mandate
Is that when God outpours His Spirit we will be on the cutting edge of that awakening.
We Have Been given authority to act in a certain way.
How do we behave?
Like Jesus. We do the things Jesus did because that is the mandate of Jesus. Go and preach, confirm the message with signs following.
