You are a Kingdom Citizen
You are not a religious person
You are not a denominational person
You are a Kingdom Citizen

The kingdom defies religion
It shakes it up and gets you out of religion
Religion teaches us to be scared of our enemy
The Kingdom sends him away

The Kingdom of God shows you who you are
Religion makes you a slave—
Religion allows you to be good
On Sunday and mess up on Monday—
Religion allows you to pretend
Before the people and sin in secret

You are a Kingdom Citizen
You are not a religious person
You are not a denominational person
You are a Kingdom Citizen

Religion is from the enemy and
The Kingdom is from our Heavenly Father
Religion started when our enemy rebelled
Because he wanted a new ‘position’—
That is why positions are very important in religion!

Basileia (kingdom) is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ
In Matthew chapter 16 Jesus asked a political question
Today that question is still asked because HE is the KING
‘My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips” Psalm 89:34

The Kingdom was given to us before
The foundations of the world—
Religion calls for ‘practices’ to be fulfilled
The Kingdom exposes the heart of the Father!

In many churches, there is a hierarchy and
This hierarchy makes slaves of the normal members
The reality is that certain leaders crave special treatment
Many of these leaders are attracted to the ministry of organized religion

You are a Kingdom Citizen
You are not a religious person
You are not a denominational person
You are a Kingdom Citizen

The saints were not raised up to be dominated by religious fools
The masses are given the wrong message today but
We are grateful that God is getting people out of their cages and
Showing them who they really are through Christ Jesus

Religion causes you to work for it
The Kingdom of God works for you
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
Everyone needs the Kingdom of God
It is a practical necessity—
Religion has drowned many but
The Kingdom of God sets us free

You are a Kingdom Citizen
You are not a religious person
You are not a denominational person
You are a Kingdom Citizen
