You Are Here! Pt. 3 - Independence Vs Interdependence In The Kingdom

Fireworks celebrate a nation breaking away, but what if the deeper celebration for the family of God is to step into? Step into a life that refuses isolation and steps into partnership with heaven? We call it Interdependence Day, and it’s the capstone of our “You Are Here” series: a reset for true identity, inheritance, and purpose that moves you from striving and spiritual smallness into clear, grounded sonship in Christ.

We start by drawing a sharp line between independence, interdependence, and the kind of religious codependence that sounds humble but quietly cancels responsibility. If you’ve ever heard “all of Him, none of us” and felt like your choices, voice, or authority don’t matter, we challenge that directly. God’s plan isn’t executed by passive children. We talk about why living mentally stuck in an old age keeps people in bondage, and why the Father intends us to thrive in the “now” of what Christ finished.

Then we open John 5 and lock in on Jesus’ present-tense lifestyle: the Son does what he is seeing the Father do, says what he is hearing, and lives “one word behind” God in real-time relationship. That leads into kingdom authority, exousia, and the controversial but biblical idea that God’s will is settled in heaven yet designed to be executed in the earth through the Son of Man reality. We connect that to Matthew 16, the revelation of Son of Man and Son of God, the ecclesia as God’s governmental body, and the keys of the kingdom expressed through binding and loosing.

If you’re hungry for practical kingdom living, renewed mind transformation, and a clearer theology of sonship, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people can wake up to who they already are in Christ.

Welcome To Identity Crisis

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Welcome to Identity Crisis, where we're dedicated to awakening people to the identity, inheritance, and purpose that belong to every believer in Christ. Here we renew minds, restore truth, and awaken sons and daughters to the reality that they are not orphans striving for acceptance, but heirs invited into the fullness of God's kingdom. And remember, you're not random, you're royalty. Welcome, family, to the Identity Crisis Podcast. I'm your host, John, and we are going to get into some really good stuff today. If you have not listened to the podcast, this is our third episode. Go back, listen to those episodes, and listen to this one because it is a succession of revelation that's happening as it pertains to stepping into the fullness of our identity, not only in Christ, but Christ being in us. And this is going to be the final uh part of a three-part series that we were doing called You Are Here. And

Why Celebrate Interdependence Day

SPEAKER_00 1:10

this one is about celebrating our Interdependence Day that we have what were afforded in Christ. Yesterday was the 4th of July, and we celebrated as a nation Independence Day when America broke away from Britain, the colonies here to become their own sovereign nation. So it was a celebration of that. It wasn't a continual progression that we're waiting to have happen. It was actually the celebration of 250 years that America has been a sovereign nation. So it was a celebration of that, not an acknowledgement from the standpoint that we're still in this struggle or there is something that's still ongoing. We've been a sovereign nation for 250 years, and that was a celebration, and it was celebrated through, you know, fireworks, you know, cookouts, and family gathering to do to do that celebration. Now, whether you're part of that or can you know agree with that for various reasons, that is what the Independence Day is about. And just as they did that, we're celebrating this interdependence that took place over 2,000 years ago. The

Independence Vs Interdependence Defined

SPEAKER_00 2:29

difference I want to start off right now, the difference between independence and interdependence is very distinguishable. And we don't want to get them confused or just lump them in the same category. Independence is when you are breaking away from uh an already established order to now do things in of yourself. You're trying to do things according to your own rulings, your own determinations, your own judgments. You want to basically set up and make your own choices. And you can do that. That is fully acceptable for you as a free will and moral agent to do so. Now, to do that governmentally, you have to have the you know the input and the participation of others who are sharing that same ideology with you, which were the colonists that did that when in the breakaway from from Britain. Now, interdependence is when there is a mutual support. It is a need on both sides in supporting each other. It is not your dependence, my dependence, and it's not even codependence, because codependence is when you are just having an ordinate dependency on an on the other party. So it's like if they withdraw from the situation, you're just totally unstable stabilized. You just don't have any any ground. And codependence

The Trap Of Spiritual Codependence

SPEAKER_00 4:10

is very deceptive, particularly in our lives as being part of the family of God, because it has been proclaimed, it's been preached so often that everything is about God. It's not about us, all of Him, none of us. And that and we use that as a humility, but it's really it's it's it's a false one. And I don't mean false as in fake, I mean it's false as in it's not the truth compared to the reality of what God desires to have uh relationally with with you and I. Now, immediately you're hearing the scripture and you want to say, like John, oh, that's that's gotta be heresy, man, because Jesus said, Outside of him, we can do nothing. And he also said um the father, and I'm gonna read that scripture here in John 5. He says, Outside his father, I can't do anything. So isn't that the total or codependency on the father? When you don't have it in context, because there are a lot of people that are doing a lot of things that are not in a relationship with God. So you know it can't be the you um you have people that are billionaires that do not, you know, proclaim a belief in God. You have people that are doing a lot of things, a lot of good things, that do not have a relationship with God. So you gotta understand that it is not outside of God or Him or a relationship with Him that you can't do anything. So now you have to think about okay, well then what did Jesus mean when he said that? It's according to the kingdom of God, according to operating in the dominion of God. You won't be able to do that outside of him. You can't do that. You you can desire the things of God, but everything that you're gonna be able to do is gonna be something that you're gonna have to be able to do. It is just putting things in its proper context and putting and understanding things. This is why this is a celebration of interdependence.

Stop Living In A Past Age

SPEAKER_00 6:35

And if you don't fully understand what I'm saying and understand that you are here, you are historically in a place that no one else has been before you, not the apostles, not the early church or the first century church. You're at a totally different place. Paul literally said that the things they endured, the sufferings of their present time, was not going to be worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed in us. And he spoke about that in ages to come. Paul knew what age he was in, he knew what he was doing, he knew what part of history he stood in, he knew locationally where he was. And if you don't understand that, then you can literally lock yourself into an age that is long past, it's gone, it is it's over. And because you are still joined mentally to that age, you'll still operate in that and you'll be in the in bondage to that. And we understand that right now. If people that don't utilize the technology that's trying to quote unquote live off the grid, you can say they have a very simple life, you can say, you know, that they have a you know a life that is not full filled with all of the the overwhelm and things that that people who are steeped in technology experience, but they live literally in another time. They live in another dimension and not going to get the benefits of this of this age. And the thing is, if they're still here, they're just not actively engaged in it, but they're still getting all the benefits of it. You know, they're still able to go out and access certain things because the technology exists, whether they even actively engage with it or not. The problem is is when because they're living off the grid, they are outside of certain experiences, and and they are living uh in a dark uh existence because of their disconnect from the rest of society. So the problem is not uh the technology, the problem is not the things uh that we have or are exposed to. The problem is us not being able to uh subdue and dominate according to it. And this is literally where the interdependence comes. The father has always desired for us to experience this this multiplicity of blessing that he has bestowed upon us. It's it's it's his desire, it's his will, because he's given this earth to us. He it's an inheritance, it's our birthright, it's a gift that he's given us as his children. So it's about learning how to uh be fruitful, to multiply, to replenish it, subdue, and dominate in this in this earth. And this is what the and where the interdependence comes in, because the father is just as dependent on us executing in the earth, just as we are him executing in the heavens. We're

Why Heaven Needs Earthly Action

SPEAKER_00 10:12

gonna read this scripture right now in in John 5, and we're gonna see where this is very necessary. God is not, we can say, you know, God doesn't need us, you know, to be God. He doesn't, but he needs us, he needs us to be God according to his will for what he desires for the earth, and it's not just about us on the earth, it's there for God so loved the world, the cosmos, his orderly arrangement, the way that he has orchestrated everything to be and ordained everything to be, and he sent Christ to die for that order, and because we, his children, are the ones who have are the apex of that of that creation, and we have the dominion that he gave us over the earth, then we are absolutely a necessity in the part of his plan being manifested according to his perfect will. Now that's just the way it is. Jesus

John 5 And Present Tense Sonship

SPEAKER_00 11:18

said, This is in John 5, and let's start at verse 19. It says, Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily. Now let's just hit that. Jesus is saying, Verily, verily. Jesus is saying, look, straight up, no cap. Let's keep this a honey. Let's keep it a buck. What are you getting ready to say? He's like, you need to lock in. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the father do. Now I read the King James, but don't get tripped up by the poetic language. And when he says, seeeth, anytime you hear ETH, when you read from that King James or that old English, ETH is a continuous. It's just like our ing in our English language. But what he seeth, what he's seeing the Father do. I can only do what I'm seeing. It's always a present tense. When somebody says, I saw, I see, I will see, they are breaking up the past, present, and future tenses. Jesus is constantly running in a state of present tense. He says, the Son can do nothing of himself but what he is seeing the Father do. Now that's a relationship, people. He says, for what things soever he doeth, or at whatever things he's doing, these also doeth, or the Son of Man is doing likewise. I'm keeping in step with the Father. He Jesus said, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, what he is speaking in that moment. So meaning that God does something, I'm doing it right behind him. God says something, I'm saying it right behind him. We are literally one word behind the Father, the all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful Father that we have. We as his children are literally just one word behind him. And meaning that, and we also get the same benefits that he gets from that word. We are heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ. And in that inheritance, we not only receive everything that Jesus has, but we also receive and inherit his vocabulary, his language. We can say and speak just like him. This is the glory that he came to bring many sons to. Jesus is not playing games with us. You know, he is showing us a pattern. He is our elder brother. He's showing us how to operate in this relationship as a son of God. But it's it gets deeper, people. So we're going to keep on reading. So he says, the son, I do all this stuff likewise. For the father loveth the son, ETH. He's loving the son, he's constantly loving on the son and showeth and is constantly showing him all things that himself doeth, is doing. And he will show him greater works than these, that he that you may marvel. You are gonna, the father's gonna, if you stay tuned in to my TV, watching the Son of God, Jesus is talking to them at that time. He said, Y'all gonna see some stuff that's just gonna just blow your mind. Marvel. You're just gonna marvel at the stuff. You see, because I'm following the Father into all truth. He's he's showing me, he's he's telling me, showing me, and doing these things, and I'm just following him. Paul says we are to be imitators of God as dear children. So that is, but he doesn't mean imitate as meaning not us abandoning our own personalities. He he made us uniquely us. So he ain't looking, as I said, looking for other baby Jesus'. Jesus is Jesus, John is John, Stephanie is Stephanie, uh, whoever you know you may be, you are your personal person, personality, the reality of your person, God has given you specifically as uniquely you. So he that that excites him, that excites him to see you moving in your your sonship and your daughterhood. So he says, he so he continues on. I'm in verse 20. He said, I just ended verse 20, that you may marvel. 21. For as the father raiseth up the dead, I quickeneth, give life even, so the son quickeneth, whom he will. The

From Hearing To No Condemnation

SPEAKER_00 16:14

father does it, I can do it too. I can do it too. He says, For the father judgeth no man, but has committed all judgment unto the son. Now, people, this is where a lot of people, particularly religious people, get tripped up because they they try to divest Christ's humanity from this transfer of judgment. Like, yeah, of course, Jesus can judge because he's God in the flesh, he's the son of God. So he can do this. This is why God gave all judgment to the son. He's sinless, he is God in the earth, he's God incarnate. So, this is of course, this is why God gave him this glory. And then he goes on and says, now you got to stay locked in. He's committed all judgment unto the Son, that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. People don't have no problem with that. He that honoreth not the Son, honor not the Father, which hath sent him. People don't have no problem with that. Verily, verily, no cap, keep it a hundred, stay locked. I say unto you, he that heareth my word, heareth, ETH, whose hearing constantly hears me. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So you walk by faith according to what God is telling you in that moment. And that gets a lot deeper too, and we will definitely get into that. It says, He again says, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I say, he that heareth my word, hearing that who continues to hear my word and believeth, continues to believe on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation. That shall not means they cannot. There is there is no law against you. If you if you live the way that I'm telling you to do, if you abide in me and my word abide in you, and you bear the fruit of what I'm showing you, you can't come in cut into condemnation. Can you come into the consequence of those that are condemned? Sure you can. If you believe in like them, this is why he said, You got to continually hear me, continually walk with me, you gotta continually talk like me, you got to continually believe like me. And if you do that, you can't come into condemnation. Is it it's it's not that it can't happen. It's just that literally look that up in the Greek people. It means it can't. You cannot come into condemnation. So he continues, he said, but you are passed from death unto life, meaning what you you're translated out of that, you've been, if for lack of a better term, raptured out of that old kingdom, that death kingdom, that kingdom of darkness, and you're now in the living kingdom of God, and or the kingdom of the living God. So it doesn't exist here. How can you come into common condemnation when you then pass over from that and it just it just doesn't exist here? So, and then he goes again, Verily, fairly, Jesus, keep on telling you, no cap. I ain't lying to you, bruh. Stay locked in. I'm telling you, I say unto you, and he's talking to them then. So imagine we're 2,000 years progressed from this in the historical and prophetic timeline of God. He's telling them the hour is coming. He hasn't yet died for sin, he hasn't yet uh raised, and he hasn't yet received all power in heaven and earth yet. So he's letting them know this hour is coming. But listen to what he says, and now is. Why? Because the hour is coming for us, but the hour was now for him, because he was already only doing what the father was doing. He was only seeing what he, you know, doing what he saw the father doing, and saying what he heard the father saying, and believing according to what the father was revealing or showing him. He was already doing that, so he was experiencing it, and he's saying, and this is what it looks like, but there's an hour coming soon that this is gonna be the reality for everyone. He says, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. He's talking about resurrection of our spirit man first. He's talking about when we hear that, when it comes, we're gonna raise from the dead in him, with him. But he's talking about the future thing, but he's walking in it right then. He says, for at listen, people, for as the father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the son to have life in himself. Just like the father lives and has this life, eternal life in him, he's given that life to the son. I got it in me. And he's committed that judgment to me. And he doesn't judge, he's given it to me. Why? Because I'm living the exact same life the father's living. There is an interdependence here, people, with between the Father and the Son. We always say in the Trinity, there is a relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a it is a trinity. It is a triune community that is going on here. There is an interdependency within that family. And we are within that family. So you can't, anyway, I don't want, I'm getting ahead of myself. So let's go back to it. So the father has life in himself. So he have the so have he given the son to have life in himself. And have

Authority To Execute Judgment On Earth

SPEAKER_00 22:40

given him authority. That authority is exusia or exusia. It means that he's been given that privilege. He's been given that that honor, that competency, the capacity, the potential, the mastery of that, that delegated influence, the jurisdiction, the liberty to execute judgment. Do you see the Father sets the judgment in the heavens, but he can't execute it in the earth. He sets it, but he can't execute it. This is why when Jesus said, whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatsoever you loose in her, excuse me, in earth is loosed in heaven. Why? Because the judgment is set. The word is settled forever in the heavens, but God can't execute it. Not the judgment. He can't do that here on the earth. That means he can't make it happen. He can't cause it to happen. He can't execute it. He cannot do it. But listen next. Let me just go back to 20. And have given him authority to execute judgment also because he is the son of man. Because he is the son of man. This is why the inter to the interdependence is so crucial for us to see the will of God come to pass in the earth. Because in the Father doesn't judge in the earth, he doesn't execute the judgment. He can't. Why? Because he gave that authority to the Son of Man, He gave that authority to mankind. Adam had it, he lost it, or he gave it up to an illegal fallen cherub. We all know the story. And that illegal fallen cherub had been using men ever since to push his agenda. Ever since Christ came to stop that, to destroy the enemy and give that authority back to us. And he said, remember, he just said the hour's coming. Lock in. Verily, very I'm telling you, lock in on what I'm saying. I'm saying this to you. This hour is coming, but it now is. And as you see me doing, you do likewise. Just like I'm seeing what the Father's doing, you follow my lead. Because if you do what I'm doing, you're doing what the Father's doing. If you're saying what I'm saying, you are saying what the Father's saying. If you believe in like I'm believing, you are believing what the Father believes. And he says, but when it comes to executing that reality in the earth realm, that's the Son of Man's job. That's my authority comes as being the Son of God. That that that dynamic power to execute and make things happen, that potential, that potency, that comes from my son of God reality. But me being able to execute that, the exucia, the authority, the privilege to be able the competency to move that from the heavens into the earth realm, that happens because of the son of man. And there is no there is no Jesus moving in and

Superman Analogy For Staying Under Son

SPEAKER_00 26:33

out. He was a hundred percent man, hundred percent God, but there were moments when he was operating in his 100% godness, son of godness, and then when he moved in his 100% son of madness, it it doesn't work that way, it's not sequential, it's not I'm son of God right now, and then I'm it's not a one my favorite hero is Superman. He can disguise himself as Clark Kent, but he's always Kal. Now he might have a different name that you call me by in this realm, but in that realm, I'm Kal. And I can always, as long as I'm in this galaxy that has a sun, a yellow sun, his power is always there. As long as he stays under that sun, the that sun, a yellow sun. As long as we stay under the son of God, as long as we stay under the, we always have this capacity, people. Now, I can I can put on my glasses and and suit and tie and call me Clark Kent, but he's always Superman. He's he always has those abilities, and they're always there, but he's not always operating in it. Although he always has that potential, he's not always executing and performing at that level, and nor should he be. Why does he? Why would you? God gave us this earth. He said, I give you all things richly to enjoy. Jesus did not working miracles 24 hours a day. Jesus lived a 30-year life where he worked no miracle. He just was living life, growing in his identity, learning who he was in God as being a son of God, and also submitted to his earthly parents, and growing in wisdom and stature with favor and favor with God and man. Not God then man, God and man. It was a simultaneous experience that he was having. It was never divested one from the other. There was an interdependency that existed always. And it was always God's intention for it to be that way. A mutual support. Now let me give you a little a little more insight into this and the blessedness of having this understanding, which will actually revolutionize your life and bring you into a complete uh interdependence day that you can celebrate from today on and forever. Okay,

Matthew 16 And The Son Of Man

SPEAKER_00 29:30

we're gonna go into now Matthew 16, verse 13. Many people know this scripture, but they they focus on one part and not the other. But look at how Jesus introduces this to us and keep it in context. I'm telling you, people, verily, verily, no cap, lock in. Let's keep it on it right here. The scripture says, When Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the son of man am? Don't miss that. Who do men say that I the son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Who do you say that I am? Now mind you, he's still talking about who do you say I the son of man am? It says, and Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Now, Jesus leads off. Who do you, who do people say that I the son of man am? Because he is identified 100%. Oh, I'm a man. No doubt. Truly. No cap. Hunt it, hunt it. Truly, truly, verily, verily. I am a man. He said, now everybody had what they had to say. He said, but who do you say I am? And Peter said, You the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Oh, wait, snap. Jesus, like, so you get it? You understand that me as being a son of man is also the son of God? Not will be, am right now. Just as much as I am the son of man standing before you, you saying that I am also the Christ, the son of the living God? And it said, Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood have not revealed it unto you, unto thee, but my Father, which is in heaven. The Father has given Peter this revelation that the Son of Man is also the Son of God. And they're looking at it being walked out in the life of Jesus. And he's saying, and Jesus said, Man, wow, you're blessed, bruh. Because flesh and blood can't get that. It can't put that together. That that's wisdom and knowledge that's past human capacity to find out without it being revealed to him. And he said, Wow, and you're blessed for that, bro. And he said, Because of that, he says, I say unto you, thou art Peter. Change this cat's name on the spot. And your name is your authority, your character, your nature. It's everything that God is giving you. It's it's it's the name he had was given in the kingdom. This is what his mama named him. This is what Jesus, the king of his kingdom, is naming him. Your name in my kingdom is Peter. And he said, and upon this rock I will build my church. Now, theologians say that Peter means in the Greek, it means petros. And then upon this rock, this petra, meaning Christ Himself, I'm going to build my church. But that is not what Jesus is saying here, because you would have to totally change the context and the flow of the conversation to make it mean that. See, this is people trying to divest and separate the Son of Man, Son of God, reality. So yeah, he ain't talking about building on Peter, the Petros, because that's little rock. But petra, meaning big rock, who is Jesus, that's what we're building it on. Jesus saying, nope, nope, I'm I'm part of that church. I'm part of that that governmental system, Ecclesia. This is why it says we're the body of Christ. Jesus, the head of all things to the church. He's the church is the entity, the people, the the citizens that are part that sits on the ecclesia is the ones. Those are individuals that make up that governmental body. Christ is the king. We're the kings, he's the lord, we're the lords. And so he's the high priest. But we're all been made kings and priests unto God. He's our high priest. So yes, Christ is preeminent in order and priority, but as it in person, we're all equal. This is why we're joint heirs with him. So when he says, I'll build my chop, my church, the church upon this rock, I'll build my church. I ain't building the church on me. I'm part of the church that's being built. I'm the head. Paul says there we're growing up unto him in all things, him being the head. So the church is the entity, the governmental body that is going to be built upon a specific understanding. And what is that? The revelation that you just had, Peter, that the Son of God and the Son of Man are one and the same. That's what my church is going to be built upon. And that understanding, that revelation, that is the blessing, the empowerment that will cause my church to never be prevailed against by the kingdom of darkness. The gates of hell will never be able to prevail against my church. There's a bunch of churches out here, but they're not part of Christ's church. There are a bunch of governmental entities that's been set up. Christ is using the language that the people of that day, definitions of terms that they could instantly connect with. Rome had ecclesias everywhere, governmental bodies that represented Rome. Rome was an empire, and empire is when you have multiple kingdoms. And he had multiple ecclesias over, you know, throughout the Roman Empire. And people understood that. It was called church later on, but it was ecclesias, what it is. It's a governmental body, just like we have a government. We call it Congress and Senates and governors, the House of Representatives, all of these things is set up in our government. And God has the same principalities, powers, rulers, dominions. Those aren't all demonic terms. Those are just terms that fallen in demonic entities still kept in place and occupied the order of the structure and the government. But principalities are not, every time you hear principalities, it's not about something wicked. It's just a governmental structure that's set up. We know all this stuff naturally, but religion, man, is a beast. Anyway, so he said, that's what I'm setting my government upon. That's the rock that I'm forming everything upon. That revelation about the Son of Man and the Son of God being one in the same. And then the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church that has that revelation, that has that understanding, because you're all going to be brought into that glory. After I do what I have to do, which he's about to get into and tell and break it all down, he says, and I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charged he his disciples that know that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. Jesus had already told people that he was the Christ, the woman at the well. There were other people that said, you know, you the Christ. He said, You you yeah, you're right. You know, you know, so but he is charging them in the context of what's being said. Of course, you got a revelation like that. What are you gonna want to do? You're gonna want to run and tell everybody, like, man, guess what? But they don't even know it yet. You know, Jesus, like, don't start telling people this because if you can't function according to it, man, don't ever run out and you ain't been equipped. He said, I'm I gotta build my church up into this, man. Don't just run out telling people this because you run out and tell people this kind of stuff, and they start trying to, they're gonna get son of skeevered all over the place. You know, I'm I'm ajure you by the name of Jesus that Paul preached. If you don't have this understanding relation for yourself, you're gonna get your butt kicked messing around with stuff that you don't have a full revelation and conviction on. And people of God, this has been something that has been sold to the church since ever.

Manifestation Of Sons And Restoration

And one of the things that, you know, what is a celebratory thing as it pertains to this interdependence is because when you understand that God He loves you and needs you and desires you just as much as we do Him, for the collective family will to be brought to pass, His perfect will to be done. It's gonna take a renovation, a renewing of our mind, not being conformed to the world, but transformed by the renewing of our mind that we can prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. This is a requirement, people of God. We need to do this in order to see our Father's will ultimately and his plans come to pass. This is why you got centuries going by and things seem to be stuck in this continuous loop of just going about the same way things have been going about. And people are trying to use scripture and say, Well, this is what the scripture said. They'll say, What happened to us coming and all of this, and it people, it literally says the creation is growing and waiting and travailing for the manifestation of the sons, plural of God. Not the return of the son, not the return of Jesus. We're waiting for that. We're the ones that's longing and looking for that, but in the meantime, Jesus said, occupy till I come. He's talking to his people. And but it literally says in Acts 3, Peter says, the heavens are retaining him, holding him back until the restitution, the reconstitution of all things. What is the reconstitution? Everything that God said in the beginning, be that man has dominion, be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it, and dominate, have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the and everything that creeps on the land. Adam wasn't a zookeeper. You know, we aren't just supposed to just be taking care of the earth's resources. It was literally saying you have dominion in all realms. Jesus could walk on the water because he knew he had dominion over that realm. Just because the water, I got dominion everywhere there's life. I have dominion. And then after his resurrection, he said, now I've been given all power over heaven and earth. That's in heaven and earth as the son. I'm an heir of God. And as the son of God, I've been given all power, authority, exusia, everywhere, because that's my birthright. And through the interdependence of heaven and earth, I've been given authority in all realms. I am now been made and crowned the king of all kings, the lord of all lords. And now I got authority, excuse me, even over the angels of heaven. I'm literally seated at the right hand of the Father. Hebrews 1 said, Now let all the angels of God worship him. This is a son of God and the son of man. Being told to be worshiped by angels, you can never separate his humanity from his divinity. Earth is an extension of heaven. Being a son of man is the extension of being the son of God. There's no difference between the two, they're just dimensionally separated. But when the natural is totally submitted to the to the divine, then you start seeing those supernatural things happening because the physical world is just the physical canvas that heaven can manifest itself on and through. This is what it's been all about from the beginning. And anybody that tells you anything else is deceiving you. It's so much more I want to say. But you know, you can only you got as they say, you gotta eat the elephant one spoon at a time. And people to really, you you can't get this by l, I want to say all this to you right now, but then this podcast will go on for hours, and you're really not gonna get it anyway, because you're gonna get tired of listening to it. But but the reality is this is something we have to learn. We have to, this is something we have to get in us and be taught to us and operate according to it. And I'm committed to this identity crisis, so we can actually get rid and fully abolish this identity crisis that we've been thrown in and being kept in by preaching and and teaching and thinking that makes us think that sin is still an issue despite Christ's declaration of total emancipation. It is finished. But he is the one who bore all the sins, bore the wrath for sin. All of it, if we still, if there's still a wrath that's what that's gonna come on this earth for sin, then what was Christ's sacrifice for? A lifeboat? He was just to get us out of here because the earth was sinking? When it said he didn't say he died for man, that God sent his son to die for man, it said for God so loved the world. Man is part of that. We are the apex of that reality, but we this the rest of the world, so just jam the rest of the world and get us out of here so God can just obliterate and decimate the earth, the planet, because of the people that that hadn't received him yet. Come on, this why would we believe that when everything that Christ did to redeem this, buy it back, and being held back into everything is put back. The kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdom of our Lord and is Christ. That's a fact, and that's happening. And I want to celebrate being a part of that people of God. And in doing so, I just want to say to you, I love you and happy Interdependence Day. To God be the glory. Peace. Thank
