Manifesting Kingdom Realities

Scripture: Mark 11:12-14 and 20-24
Habakkuk 2:1


Mark 11:12-14
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
(KJV)

Mark 11:20-24
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
(KJV)

Habakkuk 2:1
I will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected.


What is seen is always in connection to what is said (of God or of the Devil)

What the Devil says is always seen through fear (which sometimes causes the believer to make choices or accept defeat as a lifestyle.) E.g. Gideon seeing himself weak and defeated.


What God says is always seen through faith. (which causes the believer to triumph in life and enables us to walk with Christ as His representatives or ambassadors in the earth.) E.g. Gideon being called a mighty man of valor



· Words of faith releases our reality in the earth (when we say it as we see it in the Word of God)

Faith is the substance (of our desires) and the evidence (proof) seen in God’s Word but not with human eyes (Hebrew 11)

“God’s Word mixed with human desires produces faith” that is not yet seen but can be felt E.g. being sick but reading that God Heals sickness



· You can only see what God said through visions and dreams

VISION: means the ability to see; mental picture. Hebrew meaning: Chazah: To contemplate (with pleasure)

Dreams and vision are comparable in meaning

Visions and dreams is the voice of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:17)


Acts 2:17
7'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.


The Holy Spirit shows us what to say. (Connecting substance and evidence)


The Holy Spirit only shows the realities of the Kingdom of God to the believer.

John 16:13-14
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Things heard in the eternal realm are designed to be seen in the earthly realm. (Things, which we must speak into the physical realm)



Truth says:
1. Life and death is in the power of my tongue
2. A man’s stomach is satisfied with the fruits of the mouth (Proverbs 18:20)
3. All things are added to me
4. I am the image and likeness of God etc.


The Devil wants us to try to see with our natural eye so we might become FEARFUL and believe his lies.


Faith allows us to see visions of what we hope for:

This is the Holy Ghost that is showing you the answer so you know how to pray and what to say.


The formula to manifesting kingdom realities is:

Visualization (plus)
Verbalization (equals)
Realization



Visualization (The mind)
This is where the Holy Ghost reveals the answer to your problems and speaks to your spirit of things taking place in the eternal realm.
This is usually revealed in detailed form based on what you are hoping for. (Substance of things hope for)
Without a vision the people perish



Verbalization (The mouth)
· When we speak what we see by faith (This gives the Holy Spirit permission to form what He has shown you). E.g. before God spoke in the beginning every thing was void, even though the Spirit was present.
· We must speak exactly what we see in our minds (In details) E.g. A red car with black leather seats and a CD player from Sony and customized cup holders. This allows conception to take place in our mind.
This can be BINDING or LOOSING
Life and death are in the power of the tongue



Realization (The eyes)
This where the realms connect and spiritual reality is birth in a physical reality.
This is where the evidence is now seen with the physical eyes. E.g. Peter seeing that the fig three was dried up as Jesus said (Mark 11:21)
This is where what was conceived in the mind is now birthed.
You must realize when God manifests His promises in your life.
