⚠️Kingdom Wisdom / Advance⚠️

In this message, Robbie walks through God'sWord, describing the spiral of a culture that will not retain God in their collective knowledge, and what happens when people open the door to wisdom from beneath instead. That wisdom does not stay contained. It brings hell up into everyday life, into homes, into minds, into nations.

But the Christian has authority the culture around them does not. You have the ability to close those doors. To close those portals the enemy has used. And to walk instead under an open heaven of the wisdom of God.

God has told us to ask, and He will give us the nations for our inheritance. But that inheritance comes with instruction.

Psalm 2 calls us to be wise, to instruct the leadership of the earth, the kings and the judges, to serve the Lord and fear God.

The same wisdom that closes the door on hell is the wisdom that positions a nation under heaven.

All over America, people are waking up to this.

A remnant is rising, leaving behind passive, dead religion and returning to the biblical Christianity that was always called to the nations, just as we were commanded in His word.

My fear is that many will miss this moment. But it does not have to be you.

Christ Is King. Live Like It.

This Fourth of July, Robbie and Crystal had the opportunity to minister in the park, declaring the goodness of God over our nation.

In Dayton, Washington, Crystal sang two powerful songs, giving glory to God and the Lord Jesus Christ: 'God Bless the U.S.A.' and 'It's Time To Go Back.' Her voice lifted the truth that this nation was founded on a foundation only God can restore.

Robbie delivered the invocation and prayer, declaring that this is the time to wake up. There are forces working to strip away our freedom, but this fight will not be won or lost at the White House. It will be won or lost at our house, and in the house of the Lord.

In this message, Robbie calls every believer who knows that Jesus Christ is King to rise up and advance His Kingdom in every sphere of life: our homes, our schools, our government, our culture. The Church was never called to retreat. We were called to occupy until He comes.

To anyone watching or listening, who does not yet know Him: the greatest thing you can do for yourself, for the generations that follow you, and for this nation as a whole is simple.

Receive Jesus Christ. Believe the gospel. Everything changes from there.

Christ Is King. Live Like It.

Kingdom Wisdom

What happens when much of the Church gets their definition of Christianity from a culture that hates Christ?

The same thing that happens in Romans 1 -- suppression leads to spiral, and the spiral leads to destruction.

For generations the wisdom from beneath has been discipling many believers, redefining love, redefining peace, redefining the very mission of the Church, until a counterfeit Christianity emerged in much of the Western world that is passive, retreating, and harmless to the kingdom of darkness. But something is shifting.

In many places, the Church is waking up, not to a new theology, but to an old one.

Rejecting the earthly, sensual, demonic wisdom that has held her captive, and returning to the wisdom that is from above. Kingdom wisdom.

The kind that built civilizations, broke principalities, and turned nations toward Christ. It still works.

The King has not abdicated.

The commission has not been revoked. And the gates of hell have not been promised victory -- we have.

Ambassadors

At the birth of the Church, demon worship and human sacrifice covered every continent.

Then the Church advanced -- and the world changed. The Gospel of the Kingdom proved itself as the most powerful civilizational force in human history.

But in our generation, many have forgotten who we are.

Romans Chapter 1 describes a spiral of destruction that begins when a culture suppresses the truth. We can see that road clearly today. But there is an off-ramp -- and it is the Gospel.

The Church is not a bystander to cultural collapse. We are the answer God has sent. We are the Body of Christ, and where the Body shows up and holds the line, the spiral stops.

We are not waiting for a solution. We are the solution.

In this message, Pastor Robbie Patterson draws from the Book of Joel and 2 Timothy Chapter 2 to expose three types of men -- and Satan has two of them working for him.

➡️The passive man who retreats.

➡️The aggressive man who destroys.

But God is calling you to be something else entirely -- the assertive Kingdom man.

The Ambassador of Jesus Christ who advances the Gospel with purpose, authority, and love.

We are living inside Joel's prophecy right now. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and declared, This is what Joel was talking about.

The Spirit was poured out, the Church was born, and the advance began. Joel's next chapter maps the spiritual warfare that followed -- the same warfare Jesus described, the same battle laid out in the letters to the churches.

That war is still being fought. And we are in the middle of it.

Darkness was defeated at the cross.

The mission was not retired -- it was launched.

People are waking up across America.

Joel said it -- beat your plowshares into swords. This is our window. Before the King returns to fully establish His reign, we are called to live as His ambassadors in a fallen world.

Not passive.

Not reckless.

➡️Assertive. Purposeful. Unashamed.

That is not a burden. It is an honor.

It's time to be an Ambassador.

Raging Nations -- Psalm 2, Romans 1, and the Church's Mission

Psalm 2 opens with the nations raging against the Lord and His Anointed, refusing His rule, demanding their chains be broken. Heaven's response isn't alarm, it's laughter, the laughter of one who knows exactly where that refusal leads.

In this teaching, we trace that path straight into Romans 1. The coalition is the same on both ends: "let us break off his bands" in Psalm 2 is the same demand as not retaining God in collective knowledge, teaching, law, and the public square in Romans 1. The nations want the bands broken, so God answers, He gives them over, and the bands come off exactly as asked.

But that's not the end of the story. Paul opens Romans declaring himself indebted to Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unlearned, the very nations under judgment, and unashamed of the one gospel strong enough to reach them. We'll trace this all the way through Acts 4, where the early church prays Psalm 2 under persecution, and into Revelation, where Psalm 2's rod-of-iron rule is finally and fully revealed.

And here's what that means for us, right now. What an honor it is to be alive in this fallen world at this moment, surrounded by the enemies of God, with the opportunity to put on His armor (Ephesians 6:10-18) and wield His sword (Ephesians 6:17). This is a privilege. Today, we can store up treasures in heaven that will never decay and that no one can steal.

Raging nations. A God who answers the demand for freedom from His rule by releasing it, and a church sent with a gospel that can still turn raging nations to "kiss the Son... and be blessed." Our generation isn't fully grasping this yet. But it's waking up. And when it does, it will change the world.

This is what time it is, and this is our mission in it.

Christ Is King -- Live Like It.

Christendom:

Christ or Chaos

What we now call "Western civilization" was once known by its true name, Christendom.

When those who despised the inheritance of Christ were handed control of education, curriculum, and the training of the next generation, the first thing they did was erase that name.

Not by accident. By design.

Sever a generation from the root, and you sever them from the life it produced.

In this teaching, we open Romans 1:18 through the end of the chapter -- Paul's unflinching account of what happens to any culture, society, or nation that will not retain God in their knowledge.

But before Paul gets to the downfall, he sets the stage. He declares that he is a debtor -- to the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the learned and to the unlearned.

He is not talking about individuals only.

He is talking about cultures.

Whole peoples.

Whole civilizations.

And the only thing he has to offer any of them is the gospel, which is why he is not ashamed of it. It is the power of God. And it is the only thing that can stop a people from walking the road to destruction he is about to describe.

Then he describes it.

The phrase is deliberate: they would not retain God in their knowledge, the collective knowledge of a people.

What they put into their laws.

Their schools.

Their public square.

Paul keeps saying they and them -- the plural is not accidental.

This is a nation. A society.

A culture making a choice.

And when God is removed from that foundation, He does not beg to stay.

He releases them to themselves. And Paul lists exactly what follows.

Read the list. Then look around.

This is not a history lesson.

This is a diagnosis -- and a warning to those who refuse to learn from it.

But we do not end in the ruins.

We end with the Church.

Because the Church is waking up.

The Spirit of God is moving.

What we are witnessing is not the final decline -- it is the shaking that precedes revival.

The Church is rediscovering the gospel of the Kingdom -- not the gospel of compromise, not the gospel of retreat, but the full, conquering message that Jesus said would disciple nations.

The foundations can be rebuilt. But first we have to tell the truth about how they were torn down.

Christ Is King -- Live Like It.

The Missing Link.

Most believers skip straight from faith to knowledge — and wonder why the chain breaks down.

The Apostle Peter, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, identified something that much of the church has overlooked. And Peter was not casual about it.

He opened with this: that God's divine power has given us "all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him" — and that through his exceeding great and precious promises, we are made "partakers of the divine nature." That is the inheritance on the table. Then he said: "giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue." All diligence. This is where your effort is to be aimed. He then declared that if these things are in you and abound, "they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." And he closed with this promise: "if ye do these things, ye shall never fall."

This generation needs to hear that. A generation desperate for stability, for fruit, for a faith that holds — and the answer has been in the text the whole time.

The problem is the missing link.

In 2 Peter 1:5, Peter gives a specific sequence: Add to your faith — virtue.

Not knowledge first. Virtue first.

The Greek word for virtue (arete) is not a soft word. It is the character of a warrior who does not break under pressure. It is strong moral fiber forged before the battle begins. When a believer adds virtue to their faith, knowledge finally has something solid to stand on.

From there, the entire chain comes to life — self-control, godliness, brotherly kindness, love. Everything Peter lists finds its footing.

We live in a time when knowledge abounds. Good teaching is everywhere. But knowledge without virtue produces instability — believers who are educated but not anchored, informed but not transformed.

There are churches on every corner. But virtue on every corner? That is a different question entirely.

This teaching was delivered to active Bible college students and graduates. It is a message for those who are serious about building something that lasts.

Christ Is King — Live Like It.

Kingdom Awakening

Jesus preached the Kingdom. From the moment He opened His mouth in public ministry, the message was clear: the Kingdom of God is available- at hand. It was not a side theme. It was the theme. And when the apostles wrote to the churches, they did not change the subject. The epistles are Kingdom documents. They are instructions for Kingdom living and a blueprint for Kingdom advancement. Paul tells the Colossians that the Father has delivered them out of the kingdom of darkness and transferred them into the Kingdom of His dear Son. Peter declares that they are a royal priesthood, a holy nation — Kingdom people with a Kingdom purpose. The entire New Testament is saturated with a single governing reality — the King has come, the Kingdom is here, and His people have an assignment.

In Matthew 12, Jesus casts a demon out of a man who is blind and mute. He tells the crowd plainly: this happened by the Holy Spirit, and it means the Kingdom of God has come upon him. That moment sets the stage for everything that follows.

We are living in a generation that has been asleep. Not dead. Asleep. Many have known the name of Jesus but have not known His Kingdom. Many have carried the life of God inside them without ever understanding what that life was meant to produce.

On that same day, Jesus sat down and delivered one of the largest recorded teaching sessions of His entire ministry.

Seven parables. All of them about the Kingdom. Matthew 13 is the Kingdom Chapter, and it is not an accident that it follows directly from what happened in chapter 12.

Jesus describes the value of the Kingdom. He describes how the Kingdom advances. He describes what it looks like when it takes root — and what it looks like when it doesn't.

This is not coincidence. This is curriculum. Jesus was not just healing a man. He was announcing the arrival of a governing reality that changes everything it touches.

The Kingdom Awakening is not only about salvation. It is about mission. People are waking up to who they are in Christ and to what they were placed on this earth to do. The Kingdom of God is not a destination you wait for. It is a commission you carry now.

Many have been deceived into thinking the Kingdom is inward only. But the life placed inside of you was always meant to work its way outward. The Kingdom within you was never meant to stay there. It was planted in you to be expressed through you — in your home, your community, your city, your nation.

This awakening is producing people who know their King and know their assignment. They are not content to simply attend. They are advancing. They are not waiting for the world to change around them. They are the change agents the King has deployed into the world.

We are living in a glorious moment. The church is not retreating. It is rising. And the people of God are discovering that the Gospel of the Kingdom is not just good news for the soul — it is the governing reality of history itself.

It is an honor to live in this time.

Surrounded by a fallen world. Surrounded by God's enemies.

But awakened to a Kingdom that cannot be stopped.

Christ is King. Live like it.
