Bishop George Kouri

Based on the life of Joseph to whom God a Divine Dream of ruling, but whose brothers sold him into slavery, this is a powerful and dramatic message about how God works in our lives by His Spirit and His providence to bring us to the place spiritually and geographically that He can fulfill His promises in our lives.

This message is based on the lessons we can learn from Joseph, who chose to defy the fear of what men might think and took Mary to be his wife!

To experience the full power and glory of Christmas we must: RECOGNIZE JESUS' AUTHENTICITY, RESPOND TO HIS AUTHORITY, and RECEIVE HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

This powerful message is based on Mary's response to the Angel's announcement she would bear a Son, God's Son. He would be seated on the throne of David and His Kingdom would have no end.

This message deals with the hope of Israel concerning the coming of a Savior-King. One who would be Savior and King not only of the Jewish people, but of all peoples and nations of the earth. (Note: The audio starts a few seconds into the opening reading of Luke 2:8-11.)

In spite of how small it is, the human tongue has the unique power to release God's blessings upon our lives or to hinder the release of His blessings!

With many years of practical experience in walking by faith and releasing God's blessings upon her own life and the lives of others, Susan understands the Scriptures, the principles of the faith-walk, and is wonderfully equipped to minister to each one of us about the power of words to release blessings and curses, and to control the circumstances of our lives and the lives of others.

During this third week of the King's Church, "Getting Out of The Boat Stewardship Campaign," Bishop Kouri will share what the Scriptures actually have to say about a thousandfold blessing of increase (i.e. what it is) and will explain to the members of the King's Church how to release this amazing Kingdom blessing in our individual lives and ministries.

This is the same message as "Shane Mason - Prophecy Conference Session 1", but a bit shorter so it can fit on a CD.  We cut out some of the introductions related to the conference in general.

Using as an example, the Apostle Peter's amazing act of faith of getting out of the boat and walking on the Sea of Galilee, Pastor Kouri dealt with the faith-challenge facing our church body, as we have moved from the small house where we met for several years to the new 7,500 square foot building on Philips Highway.

If you and I don't understand the "last days" according to Jesus and His original Apostles of the Lamb then we will not fully understand Christ's Kingdom or how it works today as Christ the King deals with Kings and nations!

According to the Gospel writers, Jesus began the last week of His earthly ministry by cleansing the Temple in Jerusalem. In this dramatic and controversial action, He prophetically foreshadowed the destruction of the temple by the Romans which took place in 70 AD. This cleansing was followed by a series of amazing end-time parables in which Jesus declared to the Chief Priests and rulers of Israel that the promised Messianic Kingdom would be taken from them (the parable of the Wicked Tenants in Matthew 21:43) and be given to another nation (the Church) and in which He prophetically outlined the order of events (the parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22:1-14) that would take place to bring an end to the Old Covenant Administration of the Kingdom of Heaven and establish the New Covenant Administration, the Administration of God's Son, Jesus the Christ.

According to Jesus, the Book of Revelation is a prophecy given by Him to John to warn the seven churches of Asia Minor (today's Turkey) that these eschatological (end-time) events were about to take place in their day (Revelation 1:1-3). In Revelation 17-18 Jesus shows John the terrible judgment of the great harlot, no, not Rome or the Roman Catholic Church, but Old Covenant Jerusalem. This judgment prophesied by Moses and all the prophets of Israel had to take place to fulfill the mystery of God and the New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Messiah, could finally enter into the Wedding Feast and receive Messiah's Kingdom.

Contrary to popular belief the powerful judgments envisioned in the Book of Revelation are not ahead of the Church, but behind us. However, if we do not understand the Book of Revelation and the last days according to Jesus and His apostles, we will be tempted to create our own doctrine of the last days and postpone to the future what has already taken place in the past!

Declaring neglected and often misunderstood truths, Part XI of Bishop Kouri's controversial message explains the Parable of the Wedding Feast and the Jewish Mission that took place in the first century in order to gather the remnant of Israel and the first fruits of the Gentiles and form them into a New Covenant Nation, the Church of Jesus Christ. 

This prophetic event had to be fulfilled in the life-time of Jesus' early disciples to bring an end of the age of Moses and establish Messiah's Day! During the final week of His ministry Jesus boldly proclaimed, that just as Moses and the prophets of Israel had prophesied, judgment was coming on that particular generation of Jews. The promised Kingdom of the Messiah would be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers of Israel, and yes, even from the apostate Jewish people, and it would be given to another nation, a New Israel (the Church that Jesus had declared to His disciples that He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God).

Jesus declared to that generation of Jews that the burning of the City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that had to take place in their day would be a sign on earth that the Old Covenant had ended and that the New Covenant (Messiah's Day) had been established. This particular judgment would be a warning to the nations to obey God's King (the Christ or Messiah) or perish from history.

In His graphic parable of the Wedding Supper, Jesus boldly declared that before this judgment would take place, the Gospel of His Kingship, would be preached by the Apostles of the Lamb and the first ascension-gift apostles throughout the Roman Empire to gather the believing remnant of Jews and the first-fruits of the Gentile nations to form them into the New Covenant Nation (the Church of Jesus Christ).

Just as Jesus prophesied, all these things happened in the life-time of that first century generation!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, this destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

Brent Daub speaks to the men at The King's Church.

In these difficult economic times, the Christian must remember our heavenly citizenship. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, it is the heavenly economy that controls how we ought to live our lives. How are we to understand Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 & 7 as it relates to the treasury of heaven and his instruction to seek first the Kingdom of God on this earth? We will explore a familiar passage with an attempt to obtain a deeper understanding of the practical and purposeful meaning of the resources and treasures of heaven throughout scripture.

Listen to Part III of Bishop Kouri's message about the last days of the Old Covenant age. Declaring important and often misunderstood truths, this powerful message deals with certain prophetic events that had to be fulfilled during the life-time of the early disciples in order to bring an end of the age of Moses and establish Messiah's Day!

Jesus begins the last week of His earthly ministry by driving the money changers out of the Old Temple, a prophetic action that foreshadowed the judgment of God that was coming upon the Harlot City of Jerusalem and Herod's Temple.

During the final week of His ministry, Jesus boldly proclaimed that judgment was coming on that particular generation of Jews. The Kingdom of God would be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers of Israel, and yes, even from the apostate Jewish people. It would be given to another nation, a New Covenant Israel (the Church that Jesus had declared to His disciples that He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God.

Standing in the courts of the Temple, Jesus declared to that particular generation that the burning of the City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that would take place in their day would be a prophetic sign that the Old Covenant Age had ended and that the New Covenant Age (Messiah's Day) had been established. This judgment would also be a warning to the nations to obey God's King (the Christ or Messiah) or perish from history.

Amazingly, Jesus declared that before the judgment would take place, His Gospel, the Gospel of His Kingship, would be preached by the Apostles of the Lamb and the first ascension-gift apostles throughout the Roman Empire in order to gather the believing remnant of Jews and the first-fruits of the Gentile nations to form them into the New Covenant Nation (the Church of Jesus Christ).

Just as Jesus prophesied, all these things happened in the life-time of that first century generation!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another.

Jesus begins the last week of His earthly ministry by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of, "Hosanna to the Son of David," which is the Jewish equivalent of to "Hail to the King!"Immediately, he drives the money changers out of the Old Temple, foreshadowing the judgment of God that was soon to come upon the Old City of Jerusalem and Herod's Temple which had become an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

During that final week of His ministry, echoing Moses, Isaiah and all the ancient prophets, Jesus stood and proclaimed the judgment that was coming soon on that unfaithful and rebellious generation of Jews. Messiah's Kingdom would actually be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers, and the Jewish people, and it would be given to another nation, a New Covenant Israel, the Church that Jesus had declared He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God.

Jesus boldly declared to His generation that the burning of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that would take place before that generation of Jews had passed away would actually be a prophetic sign on the earth that the Old Covenant age had ended and the New Covenant age, Messiah's Day, had dawned. That judgment would be a warning to the nations of the world to obey God's Son or perish.

All these things happened in that generation just as Jesus said they would!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, the destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans actually took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

This week Bishop concludes his challenging message on being added to Christ and His Church by dealing with the dramatic teaching of Christ concerning the last days. This powerful and critically important teaching was given by Jesus Himself on the Mount of Olives and recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.

Referring to the amazing prophesies of Moses, Isaiah, and all the prophets of the Old Testament, Jesus declares to His disciples that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple that would take place in the lifetime of Peter, James, John, and Andrew would the sign on the earth of the end of the age of Moses and the dawning of Messiah's Day. This powerful cataclysmic event would be the sign to the nations of the world that the Jewish age had ended and the times of the Gentiles had begun. According to Jesus and His apostles (See Romans 11:25), the times of the Gentiles will not end until all nations have been brought under the saving rule of God's Anointed King. The great harvest of the nations will ultimately result in the conversion of the Jewish people.

The failure of the modern Christians to understand these things has hindered the church's ability to understand the age in which we live (Messiah's Day), as well as, the authority, mission and power of the Lord's Church to deal with thrones and dominions, possess cities and nations, and fill the earth with the glory.

Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of Israel understood that the Temple originally built by Solomon and rebuilt by Ezra and Herod were only shadows or types of the spiritual house or household that the Messiah would build for God.

They prophesied that in the last days of the Old Covenant era the temple of stone would be destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple made of living stones, the sons of the Kingdom. The entire New Testament is written against the backdrop of the judgment that was coming upon apostate Israel in the disciples' day, the coming destruction of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the Temple, in order that the True Temple (the Church of Jesus Christ) might be revealed.

"Who are the chosen people of God and the heirs of Messiah's Kingdom, those born of Jewish flesh or those baptized into Jesus Christ?" This is the controversial question that almost divided the early Church. However, the first Ecumenical Council convened by the apostles in Jerusalem in A.D.50, resolved this divisive question in favor of those who had been baptized into Jesus Christ. (See Acts 15.) Ironically, the same thorny question that almost divided the early Church is being raised once again in the 21st century.

Failing to understand the revelation of Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church entrusted by Jesus to His apostles in the 1st Century, and stubbornly refusing to believe, even as Jesus Himself prophesied, that the Kingdom has been taken from the Jews and given to those baptized into Jesus Christ, postponement preachers like John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, and many others contend the Jews are still God's chosen people and Christ's Kingdom belongs to them. They erroniously preach that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and animal sacrifices must be restored so that the Messiah can come back and establish an earthly Jewish Kingdom (in spite of the fact the New Testament makes no mention of such foolishness). As a result they are causing division in the body of Christ!

In this final message in his series, "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Brother Kouri deals with the last days according to Jesus and the prophets, and allows Jesus and His apostles to define the DNA of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom and the architecture of the house Jesus is building today.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, Brother Kouri's message is critically important in understanding the spiritual nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission to conquer or disciple the nations and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!

David Kowalski addresses two very practical and challenging questions that everyone faces at some point in life. First, "What Is Keeping You Away From God?" Second, "What is Keeping You From Moving Forward With God?"

In "From The Cross To the Throne," Bishop Kouri deals with the controversial question, "what happened during the three days and three nights in which Jesus was in hell?"  A two part teaching, this powerful message deals with the often neglected chronology of events that took place as Jesus made His redemptive journey from the cross to the throne. It not only deals with what happened during the 3 days and 3 nights in which He was in hell, but also His resurrection appearances, His ascension and exaltation to the right hand of God the Father, and the receiving of His Messianic Kingdom.

Good Friday's message dealt with Jesus' suffering on the cross and His descent into hell.  Easter Sunday's message deals with events that took place during the 3 days and 3 nights in hell, His conquest of Satan, sin, death and hell, His amazing resurrection appearances, the ascension, and His glorious enthronement.

This message is the heart of the Christian faith!

See the Archive page for the Good Friday message that led up to this one.

In "From The Cross To the Throne," Bishop Kouri deals with the question, "what happened during the three days and three nights in which Jesus was in hell?"  This is a powerful two part teaching about how Jesus conquered Satan, Sin, Death, and Hell, delivering us from Satan's power and receiving His Messianic Kingdom. 

This is Part 1 of this powerful apostolic message, delivered on Good Friday. It deals with our Lord's suffering, His death on the cross, and His often neglected or misunderstood descent into hell, where He conquered Satan, sin, death and hell for us!

Bishop's Easter Sunday message provides the powerful and dramatic conclusion to this message.

This message is from the Apostolic Kingdom Intensive at Perez Ministries in Jacksonville.  Bishop Kouri was the guest speaker.

Bishop continues his powerful message on the House of God by allowing the Apostle Peter to explain what it means to come to Jesus as the living Stone and be built together with other living stones to form a dwelling place (a Living Temple or House)for God in the Spirit.

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what actually happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, becoming members of the body of Jesus resurrection or the Church that Jesus is building. Speaking metaphorically or figuratively, Peter describes what happens when people are born again through repentance, valid water baptism, sealed with the Spirit, and added to Christ. Having come to the living Stone (Jesus Christ the King) and becoming themselves living stones, believers upon the foundation of Christ's Kingship and the foundation of the testimony of His apostles are being built together with other believers to form a living temple or house for God.

In this critically important message dealing with what it really means to be baptized into Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, and added His Church,  Bishop deals with the difficult and often misunderstood passage about Christ's Millennial Kingdom from the Book of Revelation chapter 20. 

Bishop climaxes this powerful message by allowing the Apostle Peter to explain what it means to come to Jesus as the living Stone and be built together with other living stones to form a dwelling place (a New Temple or House for God) for God in the Spirit. In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what actually happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, becoming members of the body of Jesus resurrection, His Church.

In his great commentary Peter references the promises made by God to King David in 2 Samuel 7 that the promised Christ would build God a spiritual house or family.

In this powerful and important series of messages, based on the Apostles' pattern of laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, Bishop Kouri probes the essential question of unity for the 21st century church, "to what or whom are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when a person is truly born again, he does not become a member of a denomination or join the church of his choice!

Instead, according to Acts 2:41, 1 Peter 2:4-9, and throughout the New Testament, when we are properly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are not only born again, but also added to Christ and the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones (sons and daughters of the Kingdom), and as we find placement in the Lord's Church, we are joined or built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in that place.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, this message is critically important for understanding the true nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission conquer the nations of the the world and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God! 

Preaching from 1st Peter 2: 4-5, Bishop continues his powerful series, "Building Your Life On The Rock of Christ's Kingship" with his message on what it means to be "added to the Lord's Church."

God uses ordinary people!

Joseph, a humble carpenter from Nazareth, falls in love with a girl named Mary. All of a sudden Mary turns up pregnant, as the plan and purpose of God breaks in upon Joseph's life and scrambles it.

As his life appears to be coming apart at the seams, God sends the angel Gabriel with a message: "Joseph, do not be afraid..."

The greatest enemy to faith is not doubt; it is fear.  Fear hinders faith and keeps us from doing the will of God.  Sometimes the greatest challenge to faith is simply the fear of doing God's will, the fear of the consequences or the cost!

As we face the challenge of a new year the greatest challenge you and I will face is the challenge of not being afraid, not being fearful to do the will of God in our lives. If we can learn not to fear the purpose of God for our lives, we will walk win! 

Next to Jesus, the most important person in the Christmas story is Mary!

In reaction to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox adoration of the Virgin Mary, Protestants often tend to ignore or downplay her. While it is true we should not worship her, it is very important that we honor her! Why did God choose her?  What was it about this young Jewish girl that made God choose her? Here is a woman who lived the miracle of Christmas...the miracle of the virgin birth of the Son of God. But not only did she live the miracle of Jesus' birth, she  lived the miracle of Christmas the rest of her entire life. Today, we often tend to divorce real life from the supernatural or from living miraculously. But our heavenly Father is interested in us living miraculously every single day, in our personal lives, our marriages, our businesses, and our jobs.

"Mary lived the miracle of Christmas every day the rest of her life!"

In this powerful Christmas message Bishop deals with three things that enabled Mary to do what she did and what it will take for you and me to live the miracle of Christmas every day of our lives!

Based upon Luke 2:8-20, the angel's announcement to the shepherds of the birth of Christ the Lord, Bishop Kouri continues to deal with the real message of Christmas.

Amazingly, the angel's announcement of Messiah's birth didn't shock these shepherds.

Could it be that they were expecting this event?

Reared as Jewish men, they were actually expecting this event to happen! In this insightful and powerful message Bishop Kouri deals with the question: "What was the Christmas expectation of the people at the time of Christ's birth in Bethlehem?"

One of the greatest authentications that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah, is that what happened that night was exactly what the shepherds expected to happen. God had revealed to Daniel the prophet that during the time of the Roman Empire the Messiah would come. Later God revealed to Daniel the exact time that the Messiah would come. As a result the entire Jewish world was filled with expectation! They knew what the prophets had promised.

What did the prophets promise? What were the people expecting? What was "The Hope of Israel"?

Preaching from Isaiah's wonderful Messianic prophesy recorded in Isaiah  9:2-7, Bishop Kouri proclaims the good news of the first coming of the Son of God.

In order to fully experience the meaning of Christmas, we must recognize the authenticity of Jesus, respond to the authority of Jesus, and receive the accomplishments ...of Jesus.

In this message Marie Howard encourages the body of Christ to keep and guard their Joy.

In this dynamic message Bishop Kouri reviews Peter's and all the original apostles' understanding of the Church as the Heavenly Zion, the Jerusalem above.  The same City that John saw coming down from God out of heaven. Bishop explains from the New Testament what really happens today as the Lord's Church gathers on the Lord's Day to ascend in the Spirit to the heavenly Mt. Zion, congregation by congregation, city by city, nation by nation until the whole Church has finally assembled around the throne of Christ the King to judge or govern kings (governments), cities and nations through the Church's corporate prayers!

"To understand all that King Jesus is doing today the modern saint must see by the Holy Spirit what John saw when he was exiled on the Island of Patmos and was caught up to heaven in the Spirit to join with the saints in a heavenly worship service. Just as John saw the Lord coming in the clouds of power and glory and dealing in judgment with the harlot City of Jerusalem and Apostate Israel in his generation, we must see the Lord dealing with the nations of the world in our generation!"

Peter's Understanding of The Church as The Temple, The House of God-Part 12d

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ becoming members of the body of Jesus Christ, the Church.

In his great commentary Peter references the promises made by God to King David in 2 Samuel 7 that the promised Christ would build God a spiritual house or family. Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of Israel understood that the Temple originally built by Solomon and rebuilt by Ezra and Herod were only shadows or types of the spiritual house or household that the Messiah would build for God. They prophesied that in the last days of the Old Covenant era the Temple of stone would be destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple made of living stones, the sons of the Kingdom. The entire New Testament is written against the backdrop of the judgment that was coming upon apostate Israel in Peter's day, the coming destruction of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the Temple built by Herod, in order that the heavenly City of Jerusalem and the True Temple (the Church of Jesus Christ) could be revealed.

"Who are the chosen people of God and the heirs of Messiah's Kingdom, those born of Jewish flesh or those baptized into Jesus Christ?"  This controversial question almost divided the early Church. However, the great Apostolic Council convened by the apostles in Jerusalem in A.D. 50, resolved this divisive question in favor of those who had been baptized into Jesus Christ. (See Acts 15.)

Ironically, the thorny question that almost divided the early Church is being raised once again in the 21st century. Failing to understand the revelation of Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church entrusted by Jesus to His apostles in the 1st Century, and stubbornly refusing to believe even as Jesus Himself prophesied that the Kingdom has been taken from the Jews and given to those baptized into Jesus Christ, postponement preachers like John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, and many others contend the Jews are still God's chosen people and Christ's Kingdom belongs to them. Preaching that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and animal sacrifices must be restored before the Messiah can come and establish the Messianic Kingdom (in spite of the fact the New Testament makes no mention of such foolishness), they cause great confusion and division in the body of Christ!

In this message, Part 12d of "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Bishop Kouri continues to allow Peter define and explain the spiritual DNA of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom, as well as, the true nature or divine architecture of the spiritual House or Temple King Jesus is building today. According to the Apostle, the Lord's Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven), being built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone and His apostles, is God's dwelling place in the world.  The Lord's Church is God's true address in the world, and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor, and the hopeless can come to Christ's Church and find the living God!

In this powerful and important series of messages, based on the Apostles' pattern of laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, Bishop Kouri probes the essential question of unity for the 21st century church, "to what or whom are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when a person is truly born again, he does not become a member of a denomination or join the church of his choice! Instead, according to Acts 2:41, when we are truly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are not only born again but also added to Christ and the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones, and as we find placement in the Lord's Church, we are joined or built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in that place.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, this message is critically important for understanding the true nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission conquer the nations of the the world and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!  

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ becoming members of the body of Jesus Christ, the Church.

In his great commentary Peter references the promises made by God to King David in 2 Samuel 7 that the promised Christ would build God a spiritual house or family. Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of Israel understood that the Temple originally built by Solomon and rebuilt by Ezra and Herod were only shadows or types of the spiritual house or household that the Messiah would build for God. They prophesied that in the last days of the Old Covenant era the Temple of stone would be destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple made of living stones, the sons of the Kingdom. The entire New Testament is written against the backdrop of the judgment that was coming upon apostate Israel in Peter's day, the coming destruction of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the Temple built by Herod, in order that the heavenly City of Jerusalem and the True Temple (the Church of Jesus Christ) could be revealed.

"Who are the chosen people of God and the heirs of Messiah's Kingdom, those born of Jewish flesh or those baptized into Jesus Christ?"  This controversial question almost divided the early Church. However, the great Apostolic Council convened by the apostles in Jerusalem in A.D. 50, resolved this divisive question in favor of those who had been baptized into Jesus Christ. (See Acts 15.)

Ironically, the thorny question that almost divided the early Church is being raised once again in the 21st century. Failing to understand the revelation of Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church entrusted by Jesus to His apostles in the 1st Century, and stubbornly refusing to believe even as Jesus Himself prophesied that the Kingdom has been taken from the Jews and given to those baptized into Jesus Christ, postponement preachers like John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, and many others contend the Jews are still God's chosen people and Christ's Kingdom belongs to them. Preaching that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and animal sacrifices must be restored before the Messiah can come and establish the Messianic Kingdom (in spite of the fact the New Testament makes no mention of such foolishness), they cause great confusion and division in the body of Christ!

In this message, Part 12c of "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Bishop Kouri continues to allow Peter define and explain the spiritual DNA of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom, as well as, the true nature or divine architecture of the spiritual House or Temple King Jesus is building today. According to the Apostle, the Lord's Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven), being built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone and His apostles, is God's dwelling place in the world.  The Lord's Church is God's true address in the world, and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor, and the hopeless can come to Christ's Church and find the living God!

In this powerful and important series of messages, based on the Apostles' pattern of laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, Bishop Kouri probes the essential question of unity for the 21st century church, "to what or whom are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when a person is truly born again, he does not become a member of a denomination or join the church of his choice! Instead, according to Acts 2:41, when we are truly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are not only born again but also added to Christ and the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones, and as we find placement in the Lord's Church, we are joined or built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in that place.

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the great Apostle explains what happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, thus becoming members of the body of the 1st Resurrection, the body of Jesus Christ, the Church.

In this message, Part 12 of "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Bishop Kouri allows Peter to define and explain the spiritual DNA  of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom, as well as, the true nature and the divine architecture of the spiritual House or Temple that Jesus is building today. According to the Apostle Peter, the Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven) and built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone or firstborn Son of the living God and His apostles, Christians are being built together to be God's dwelling place in the world.  Because of this the Lord's Church is God's address in the world and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor and the needy can come to Christ's Church, find the living God, and have their needs met!

Based on the apostolic pattern for laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, the pattern established by the Apostle Peter himself in Acts 2 , Bishop Kouri probes the all important question, "to which Church are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when we are truly born again, we do not become members of a denomination or even join the church of our choice! Instead, according to Acts 2:41, when we are properly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are born again and added to the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones, and as we find placement in the Church, we are built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in the world.

In this dynamic message, Part 11 of "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Bishop Kouri allows Peter to explain the DNA (genetic code), as well as the true nature or architectural structure and spiritual organization of the Church Jesus declared He would build. Brother Kouri carefully explains the fact that Peter, like Jesus and all of the apostles, uses a number of very important analogies or word pictures to explain the true nature and mission of Christ's Church.

Based on the apostolic pattern for laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, the pattern established by the Apostle Peter himself in Acts 2 , Bishop Kouri carefully probes the all important question, "to whose Church are we added when we are born from above and properly initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when we are truly born again, we do not become members of a denomination or even join the church of our choice! Instead, according to Acts 2:41, when we are properly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are added to His body and become members of the One Church of Jesus Christ, which is the body of Christ's Kingdom purpose!

Marie Howard teaches on Kingdom Peace

Drawing on Luke's dramatic account of the conversion of 3000 souls on the day of Pentecost and Paul's powerful commentary on this event in Hebrews 6:1-3, Brother Kouri explains the true meaning and significance of Acts 2:41, 42 and Revelation 20:4-6. (In Acts 2:41 we read that those who "received Peter's command where added to the Church" and in Revelation 20:4-6 we read, "Blessed is he who has part in the first resurrection...they shall reign with Christ for a thousand years.") Contrary to the popular belief, you and I do not join the church of our choice, but when we are baptized into Christ we are added to the "General Church", the body of the Messiah! 

In this eye-opening message Bishop deals with what it really means to be added to the body of Jesus and to find valid placement in the household or family of God under authentic spiritual authority or Kingdom government!

 Pastor George Kouri ministers his Easter Sunday Message

This special Easter message climaxes with the glorious triumph of Jesus over all the powers of hell, His taking of the keys of death and hell from Satan, His release of the Old Testament saints like Moses and Elijah from paradise into heaven, the taking-up again or resurrection of His own body by Jesus Himself at the tomb of Joseph of Aramatheia, His ascent as High Priest into heaven to sprinkle His blood on the altar of God in heaven to establish the New Covenant as the foundation of His Messianic Kingdom, His resurrection appearances, and the amazing events that took place as Jesus was exalted and seated on the throne of David at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.

In this special Good Friday service, Pastor Kouri deals with the mystery of the physical and spiritual sufferings of Jesus, His death on the cross, and His descent into hell.

Pastor Sandra Kouri ministers Part 2 of her two-part message on inner healing and deliverance.

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, John tells us he was still bound with grave clothes!  Jesus commanded His disciples, "loose him and let him go free." While many have heard the voice of the Son of God and have been raised from spiritual death, they are still bound in their lives by the spirit of rejection, unforgivness, bitterness, or similar strongholds in their lives. In this powerful and informative message, Pastor Sandra deals with getting free from the hurts of the past, bad habits, addictions, hidden sins, and other things that bind us up and keep us from enjoying the liberty of the sons and daughters of God or walking in victory. 

"Getting Free And Living Free!"
Sandra Kouri ministers Part 1 of a two-part series on inner healing and deliverance.

According to the ancient prophets of Israel, the distinctive mark or characteristic of Messiah's Day would be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all mankind to bring forth a new creation. Jesus called the gift of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, "the promise of the Father." In Luke's Gospel Jesus confidently declared, "the Father will give the Spirit to them that ask Him." And in the Acts of the Apostles Peter declared "God gives the Holy Spirit to all who obey Him."

Sunday March 22 Bishop Kouri continues his life-changing message "Building Your Life On The Unshakable Foundation of The Kingdom" with Part 7, "The Essential Question In Kingdom Initiation."

In Acts 19, the Apostle Paul asks disciples of the Lord in the city of Ephesus, "Have you received the Spirit since you believed?" They answer, "We have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." Paul then asks them, "Into what then were you baptized.?"

Thus we see that the essential question in Kingdom or Christian initiation is, "Have you received the Spirit?"

Everything Jesus did in His life and ministry was so that you and I can receive the indwelling Spirit of God for power to live like Jesus and to do the same things that Jesus did in His life and ministry

Pastor Kouri continues his eye-opening and life-changing series, "Vision 2009 And Beyond" with Part 6, "Building Your Life On An Unshakable Foundation!"

In the sermon on the mount Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The word translated"pure" means single minded or devoted. Jesus was declaring that if we want God move in our lives in power and glory, and truly get to know Him, then we must be single minded in our devotion. 

The Apostles James warned, "the double minded man will receive nothing from the Lord." 

Moses declared to Israel, "the Lord your God is a jealous God," and He Himself declared through the prophet Jeremiah, "You shall look for me and find me, when you look for me with all your heart."

This podcast is from Wednesday night meeting on March 11. In it Bishop Kouri deals with the reason many of us do not see the answers to our prayers and experience the fellowship or communion with the Lord that we desire. If you long to walk more closely with the Lord, if you long to know Him better, if you desparately need answers to your prayers, then this is the message for you!

Alexander Chisango writes: “Last month, I received special requests from my KC101 students to somehow avail a live lecture to aid students in their study. So before leaving N.Y. City for Zimbabwe I recorded a series of four 75 minute lectures on the topic, covering almost every scripture in the posted lecture on the site, plus more.”

“Also, Kingdom challenges and unique opportunities to serve God’s Kingdom purpose that I see in Zimbabwe since my return to my own country prove to me that the truths set forth in my new course Apostolic Architecture And Kingdom Dominion provide Scriptural answers to the problems involved in discipling nations.”

Pastor Kouri continues his eye-opening and life-changing series, "Vision 2009 And Beyond" with Part 4, "Building Your Life On An Unshakable Foundation!"

In the upper room in Jerusalem before His death on the cross, Jesus promised His disciples that after His ascension, He would send the Holy Spirit to indwell and empower all those who would believe and obey the Gospel. On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter declared, "repent and be baptized upon the basis of the name of Jesus and you shall receive the Holy Spirit." Later the Apostle Paul asked some Jesus' disciples in the City of Ephesus in Asia Minor, "have you received the Spirit since you believed?" Thus  we see that one of the essential dimensions or ingredients of a valid Kingdom initiation is the experience of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.  

How did this happen in the early Church?  How does it happen today?  In Part 4 of "Building Your Life On The Unshakable Foundation"  Brother Kouri deals with how you can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for power to live like Jesus today.

This dynamic series of messages is based upon the theme "What is the Spirit saying to the Churches" from Revelation 2:1, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18,29, and 3:1, 6, 7, 13, 14, 22. In this eye-opening series of messages Brother Kouri speaks to the saints of the King's Church about, "what God is doing in our lives individually, as a congregation, and as part of His global Church, and what the Spirit is saying to us in light of these things!"

In Part 3 Brother Kouri speaks to us as the bishop or overseer of the King's Church specifically about what God is saying to us as a church body (part of the larger Church in Jacksonville) about becoming a truly worshiping and ministering community. In this strategic message he shares what God is doing by His Spirit and providentially to move the King's Church from where we are in our experience as a body to where He wants us to be, and what the Spirit is saying to us about what should be happening on the Lord's day as we assemble to worship the King and pray Kingdom prayers to change governments and nations. In this message bishop also shares what the Spirit is saying to us as a ministering community about meeting the needs of the people of Jacksonville. To listen to this message click here.

In Part 4 Brother Kouri speaks apostolically and prophetically about what God is doing in the nations today, andwhat the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches globally about an apostolic reformation and the transformation of governments and nations. In this powerful and insightful message he talks about the difference between Logos and Rhema and shares practically what we can do as individuals and as a church body to get involved in the work and participate in the apostolic and prophetic strategies the Lord is giving His Church today to bring forth a true reformation of the Church and disciple the nations. To listen to this message click here.

In light of the glorious announcement of the birth of the Son of God, angels, light shining all around, and the glory of God are easy to understand. But the fact that ordinary shepherds understood and received the angel's announcement is amazing! Luke says that they immediately arose from the fields near Bethlehem and went to where the Child was. Could it be that they were actually expecting the miraculous thing that had happened? In this message Bishop Kouri answers the question: What where the shepherds expecting and what should we expect today?

Bishop Kouri ministers on overcoming the fear of doing the will of God using the powerful story of Joseph and the incredibly difficult challenge he faced of doing the will of God upon learning that Mary is pregnant and the Child she carries is not his! 

This powerful teaching on Receiving Apostolic grace is the third of Alexander Chisango's three apostolic and prophetic messages during his recent visit to Jacksonville.  Drawing on years of experience in the crucible of Zimbabwe and throughout the Continent of Africa, Bishop Chisango talks about how to receive and facilitate Kingdom or Apostolic grace.

Sunday Morning: Bishop Alexander Chisango, visiting from Zimbabwe, ministers Part 2 of his powerful three-part message on Receiving Apostolic Grace. Today, so many Christians seem to live lives of futility, failure, and defeat just like those in the world system. How can we receive the grace of God in our lives so that we can reign in life and be effective ministers of the grace of God to others?

Wednesday night: Bishop Alexander Chisango, visiting from Zimbabwe, ministers Part 1 of his powerful  three-part message on Receiving Apostolic Grace.

How can we receive the grace of God in our lives so that we can truly reign in life and be effective ministers of the grace of God to others?

Next to Jesus Himself the most important person in the Christmas story is Mary! Why did God choose her? What was it about her that caused God to pick Mary to be the mother of His only begotten Son? Here is a woman who lived the miracle, not just in Christ's birth, but in the rest of her entire life. She not only carried the baby in her womb, birthed Him, nurtured Him, followed and served Him in His ministry, watched Him at the cross as He died, saw Him alive again after His resurrection, received the Spirit sent by Him (even speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost), but she became a prominent leader in the Apostolic Church.

Like mary, the Lord wants all of us to move from experiencing momentary miracles to living miraculously every day, in our personal lives, our marriages, our families, our businesses, our jobs, and in everything. What was it about mary that let her live miraculously every day? What is it going to take for us to do the same?

Bishop Kouri teaches from Acts 2:41-47 concerning Kingdom Culture. The early Church faithfully demonstrated the life and culture of the Kingdom of heaven! As the fruit of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and power upon their lives, and their devoted obedience to the apostles' teaching of Christ's Kingdom commands, the culture of the Kingdom of God developed among them. They eventually demonstrated such love for one another, such powerful fellowship, and communion that they even sold their material possessions and shared the proceeds with any who had need. As a direct result of their faithful obedience to the commands of their Lord and King, whatever they asked, desired, or commanded in His Name He did, and consequently great miracles took place among them. Their fellow Israelites were so moved by the obvious demonstration of Kingdom culture and the power of God evident in their midst that multitudes were being added to their community every day!

The Lord is in the process of restoring this same life and culture to the Church in the 21st century. What is it going to take for the modern Church to demonstrate the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven?

Sandra Kouri finishes her 2 part message on Christian outreach and meeting the needs of the others through God's love and hospitality. According to Jesus Himself, the mark of authentic Christianity is "love for one another." Jesus declared it would be our love for one another and for those outside the household of faith that would demonstrate to the world we are His disciples. Her husband Bishop Kouri writes, "In over fifty years of Christian Ministry Sandra's simple message on love and hospitality is one of the greatest I have ever heard."

Her husband Bishop Kouri writes, "In more than fifty years of Christian Ministry Sandra's simple message on love and hospitality is one of the greatest I have ever heard."

Part 3 of Bishop Kouri's exposition of Revelation 15:3, The Song of the Lamb. The Song of the Lamb is a prophetic song of victory and dominion based upon the ancient prophesy given to the Prophet Isaiah by the Spirit of Christ hundreds of years before His incarnation. In this prophetic song, the Lamb of God prophesies the historic judgment that ultimately came upon apostate Israel in 70 AD as the Kingdom of God was taken from Old Covenant Israel and given to the saints of New Covenant Israel. The early Apostolic Church sang this song as a their testimony of their faith in King Jesus and His victory over Satan's power, as they faced fierce persecution instigated by the Chief Priests and Elders of Israel and prosecuted by the Romans against Christ and His Church in the first century AD. This prophetic song was historically fulfilled in 70 AD with the burning of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the Romans, but it is still relevant for Christians and for Christ's Church as we face today's battles with the Kingdom of darkness in the 21st Century.

Bishop Michael Babin from Oceanside California ministers powerfully on overcoming adversity by faith in the King.

Bishop George Kouri

Based on the life of Joseph to whom God a Divine Dream of ruling, but whose brothers sold him into slavery, this is a powerful and dramatic message about how God works in our lives by His Spirit and His providence to bring us to the place spiritually and geographically that He can fulfill His promises in our lives.

This message is based on the lessons we can learn from Joseph, who chose to defy the fear of what men might think and took Mary to be his wife!

To experience the full power and glory of Christmas we must: RECOGNIZE JESUS' AUTHENTICITY, RESPOND TO HIS AUTHORITY, and RECEIVE HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

This powerful message is based on Mary's response to the Angel's announcement she would bear a Son, God's Son. He would be seated on the throne of David and His Kingdom would have no end.

This message deals with the hope of Israel concerning the coming of a Savior-King. One who would be Savior and King not only of the Jewish people, but of all peoples and nations of the earth. (Note: The audio starts a few seconds into the opening reading of Luke 2:8-11.)

In spite of how small it is, the human tongue has the unique power to release God's blessings upon our lives or to hinder the release of His blessings!

With many years of practical experience in walking by faith and releasing God's blessings upon her own life and the lives of others, Susan understands the Scriptures, the principles of the faith-walk, and is wonderfully equipped to minister to each one of us about the power of words to release blessings and curses, and to control the circumstances of our lives and the lives of others.

During this third week of the King's Church, "Getting Out of The Boat Stewardship Campaign," Bishop Kouri will share what the Scriptures actually have to say about a thousandfold blessing of increase (i.e. what it is) and will explain to the members of the King's Church how to release this amazing Kingdom blessing in our individual lives and ministries.

This is the same message as "Shane Mason - Prophecy Conference Session 1", but a bit shorter so it can fit on a CD.  We cut out some of the introductions related to the conference in general.

Using as an example, the Apostle Peter's amazing act of faith of getting out of the boat and walking on the Sea of Galilee, Pastor Kouri dealt with the faith-challenge facing our church body, as we have moved from the small house where we met for several years to the new 7,500 square foot building on Philips Highway.

If you and I don't understand the "last days" according to Jesus and His original Apostles of the Lamb then we will not fully understand Christ's Kingdom or how it works today as Christ the King deals with Kings and nations!

According to the Gospel writers, Jesus began the last week of His earthly ministry by cleansing the Temple in Jerusalem. In this dramatic and controversial action, He prophetically foreshadowed the destruction of the temple by the Romans which took place in 70 AD. This cleansing was followed by a series of amazing end-time parables in which Jesus declared to the Chief Priests and rulers of Israel that the promised Messianic Kingdom would be taken from them (the parable of the Wicked Tenants in Matthew 21:43) and be given to another nation (the Church) and in which He prophetically outlined the order of events (the parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22:1-14) that would take place to bring an end to the Old Covenant Administration of the Kingdom of Heaven and establish the New Covenant Administration, the Administration of God's Son, Jesus the Christ.

According to Jesus, the Book of Revelation is a prophecy given by Him to John to warn the seven churches of Asia Minor (today's Turkey) that these eschatological (end-time) events were about to take place in their day (Revelation 1:1-3). In Revelation 17-18 Jesus shows John the terrible judgment of the great harlot, no, not Rome or the Roman Catholic Church, but Old Covenant Jerusalem. This judgment prophesied by Moses and all the prophets of Israel had to take place to fulfill the mystery of God and the New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Messiah, could finally enter into the Wedding Feast and receive Messiah's Kingdom.

Contrary to popular belief the powerful judgments envisioned in the Book of Revelation are not ahead of the Church, but behind us. However, if we do not understand the Book of Revelation and the last days according to Jesus and His apostles, we will be tempted to create our own doctrine of the last days and postpone to the future what has already taken place in the past!

Declaring neglected and often misunderstood truths, Part XI of Bishop Kouri's controversial message explains the Parable of the Wedding Feast and the Jewish Mission that took place in the first century in order to gather the remnant of Israel and the first fruits of the Gentiles and form them into a New Covenant Nation, the Church of Jesus Christ. 

This prophetic event had to be fulfilled in the life-time of Jesus' early disciples to bring an end of the age of Moses and establish Messiah's Day! During the final week of His ministry Jesus boldly proclaimed, that just as Moses and the prophets of Israel had prophesied, judgment was coming on that particular generation of Jews. The promised Kingdom of the Messiah would be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers of Israel, and yes, even from the apostate Jewish people, and it would be given to another nation, a New Israel (the Church that Jesus had declared to His disciples that He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God).

Jesus declared to that generation of Jews that the burning of the City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that had to take place in their day would be a sign on earth that the Old Covenant had ended and that the New Covenant (Messiah's Day) had been established. This particular judgment would be a warning to the nations to obey God's King (the Christ or Messiah) or perish from history.

In His graphic parable of the Wedding Supper, Jesus boldly declared that before this judgment would take place, the Gospel of His Kingship, would be preached by the Apostles of the Lamb and the first ascension-gift apostles throughout the Roman Empire to gather the believing remnant of Jews and the first-fruits of the Gentile nations to form them into the New Covenant Nation (the Church of Jesus Christ).

Just as Jesus prophesied, all these things happened in the life-time of that first century generation!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, this destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

In His graphic parable of the Wedding Supper, Jesus boldly declared that before this judgment would take place, the Gospel of His Kingship, would be preached by the Apostles of the Lamb and the first ascension-gift apostles throughout the Roman Empire to gather the believing remnant of Jews and the first-fruits of the Gentile nations to form them into the New Covenant Nation (the Church of Jesus Christ).

Just as Jesus prophesied, all these things happened in the life-time of that first century generation!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, this destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

Declaring neglected and often misunderstood truths, Part V of Bishop Kouri's controversial message explains the Parable of the Wedding Feast and the Jewish Mission that took place in the first century in order to gather the remnant of Israel and the first fruits of the Gentiles and form them into a New Covenant Nation, the Church of Jesus Christ. 

This prophetic event had to be fulfilled in the life-time of Jesus' early disciples to bring an end of the age of Moses and establish Messiah's Day! During the final week of His ministry Jesus boldly proclaimed, that just as Moses and the prophets of Israel had prophesied, judgment was coming on that particular generation of Jews. The promised Kingdom of the Messiah would be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers of Israel, and yes, even from the apostate Jewish people, and it would be given to another nation, a New Israel (the Church that Jesus had declared to His disciples that He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God).

Brent Daub speaks to the men at The King's Church.

In these difficult economic times, the Christian must remember our heavenly citizenship. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, it is the heavenly economy that controls how we ought to live our lives. How are we to understand Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 & 7 as it relates to the treasury of heaven and his instruction to seek first the Kingdom of God on this earth? We will explore a familiar passage with an attempt to obtain a deeper understanding of the practical and purposeful meaning of the resources and treasures of heaven throughout scripture.

Listen to Part III of Bishop Kouri's message about the last days of the Old Covenant age. Declaring important and often misunderstood truths, this powerful message deals with certain prophetic events that had to be fulfilled during the life-time of the early disciples in order to bring an end of the age of Moses and establish Messiah's Day!

Jesus begins the last week of His earthly ministry by driving the money changers out of the Old Temple, a prophetic action that foreshadowed the judgment of God that was coming upon the Harlot City of Jerusalem and Herod's Temple.

During the final week of His ministry, Jesus boldly proclaimed that judgment was coming on that particular generation of Jews. The Kingdom of God would be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers of Israel, and yes, even from the apostate Jewish people. It would be given to another nation, a New Covenant Israel (the Church that Jesus had declared to His disciples that He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God.

Standing in the courts of the Temple, Jesus declared to that particular generation that the burning of the City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that would take place in their day would be a prophetic sign that the Old Covenant Age had ended and that the New Covenant Age (Messiah's Day) had been established. This judgment would also be a warning to the nations to obey God's King (the Christ or Messiah) or perish from history.

Amazingly, Jesus declared that before the judgment would take place, His Gospel, the Gospel of His Kingship, would be preached by the Apostles of the Lamb and the first ascension-gift apostles throughout the Roman Empire in order to gather the believing remnant of Jews and the first-fruits of the Gentile nations to form them into the New Covenant Nation (the Church of Jesus Christ).

Just as Jesus prophesied, all these things happened in the life-time of that first century generation!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, this destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

Jesus begins the last week of His earthly ministry by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of, "Hosanna to the Son of David," which is the Jewish equivalent of to "Hail to the King!"Immediately, he drives the money changers out of the Old Temple, foreshadowing the judgment of God that was soon to come upon the Old City of Jerusalem and Herod's Temple which had become an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

During that final week of His ministry, echoing Moses, Isaiah and all the ancient prophets, Jesus stood and proclaimed the judgment that was coming soon on that unfaithful and rebellious generation of Jews. Messiah's Kingdom would actually be taken from the Chief Priests, the rulers, and the Jewish people, and it would be given to another nation, a New Covenant Israel, the Church that Jesus had declared He would build as a living temple, a dwelling place for the Spirit of God.

Jesus boldly declared to His generation that the burning of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the armies of Rome that would take place before that generation of Jews had passed away would actually be a prophetic sign on the earth that the Old Covenant age had ended and the New Covenant age, Messiah's Day, had dawned. That judgment would be a warning to the nations of the world to obey God's Son or perish.

All these things happened in that generation just as Jesus said they would!

In 70 AD the armies of Rome burned Jerusalem. Literally, just as Jesus had warned, not one stone of Herod's Temple was left standing on top of another. According to Jesus and the prophets of Israel, the destruction of the Old Temple by the Romans actually took place so that the Spiritual House that Jesus is building for God, a New Temple made of living stones might be revealed to all nations, and all men everywhere might find the living God!

This week Bishop concludes his challenging message on being added to Christ and His Church by dealing with the dramatic teaching of Christ concerning the last days. This powerful and critically important teaching was given by Jesus Himself on the Mount of Olives and recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.

Referring to the amazing prophesies of Moses, Isaiah, and all the prophets of the Old Testament, Jesus declares to His disciples that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple that would take place in the lifetime of Peter, James, John, and Andrew would the sign on the earth of the end of the age of Moses and the dawning of Messiah's Day. This powerful cataclysmic event would be the sign to the nations of the world that the Jewish age had ended and the times of the Gentiles had begun. According to Jesus and His apostles (See Romans 11:25), the times of the Gentiles will not end until all nations have been brought under the saving rule of God's Anointed King. The great harvest of the nations will ultimately result in the conversion of the Jewish people.

The failure of the modern Christians to understand these things has hindered the church's ability to understand the age in which we live (Messiah's Day), as well as, the authority, mission and power of the Lord's Church to deal with thrones and dominions, possess cities and nations, and fill the earth with the glory.

Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of Israel understood that the Temple originally built by Solomon and rebuilt by Ezra and Herod were only shadows or types of the spiritual house or household that the Messiah would build for God.

They prophesied that in the last days of the Old Covenant era the temple of stone would be destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple made of living stones, the sons of the Kingdom. The entire New Testament is written against the backdrop of the judgment that was coming upon apostate Israel in the disciples' day, the coming destruction of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the Temple, in order that the True Temple (the Church of Jesus Christ) might be revealed.

"Who are the chosen people of God and the heirs of Messiah's Kingdom, those born of Jewish flesh or those baptized into Jesus Christ?" This is the controversial question that almost divided the early Church. However, the first Ecumenical Council convened by the apostles in Jerusalem in A.D.50, resolved this divisive question in favor of those who had been baptized into Jesus Christ. (See Acts 15.) Ironically, the same thorny question that almost divided the early Church is being raised once again in the 21st century.

Failing to understand the revelation of Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church entrusted by Jesus to His apostles in the 1st Century, and stubbornly refusing to believe, even as Jesus Himself prophesied, that the Kingdom has been taken from the Jews and given to those baptized into Jesus Christ, postponement preachers like John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, and many others contend the Jews are still God's chosen people and Christ's Kingdom belongs to them. They erroniously preach that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and animal sacrifices must be restored so that the Messiah can come back and establish an earthly Jewish Kingdom (in spite of the fact the New Testament makes no mention of such foolishness). As a result they are causing division in the body of Christ!

In this final message in his series, "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Brother Kouri deals with the last days according to Jesus and the prophets, and allows Jesus and His apostles to define the DNA of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom and the architecture of the house Jesus is building today.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, Brother Kouri's message is critically important in understanding the spiritual nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission to conquer or disciple the nations and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!

In "From The Cross To the Throne," Bishop Kouri deals with the controversial question, "what happened during the three days and three nights in which Jesus was in hell?"  A two part teaching, this powerful message deals with the often neglected chronology of events that took place as Jesus made His redemptive journey from the cross to the throne. It not only deals with what happened during the 3 days and 3 nights in which He was in hell, but also His resurrection appearances, His ascension and exaltation to the right hand of God the Father, and the receiving of His Messianic Kingdom.

Good Friday's message dealt with Jesus' suffering on the cross and His descent into hell.  Easter Sunday's message deals with events that took place during the 3 days and 3 nights in hell, His conquest of Satan, sin, death and hell, His amazing resurrection appearances, the ascension, and His glorious enthronement.

This message is the heart of the Christian faith!

See the Archive page for the Good Friday message that led up to this one.

In "From The Cross To the Throne," Bishop Kouri deals with the question, "what happened during the three days and three nights in which Jesus was in hell?"  This is a powerful two part teaching about how Jesus conquered Satan, Sin, Death, and Hell, delivering us from Satan's power and receiving His Messianic Kingdom. 

This is Part 1 of this powerful apostolic message, delivered on Good Friday. It deals with our Lord's suffering, His death on the cross, and His often neglected or misunderstood descent into hell, where He conquered Satan, sin, death and hell for us!

Bishop's Easter Sunday message provides the powerful and dramatic conclusion to this message.

According to the Apostle, the Lord's Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven), built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone and His apostles, is God's dwelling place in the world.  The Lord's Church is God's true address in the world, and hurting people,the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor, and the hopeless can come to Christ's Church and find the living God!

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, Bishop's message is critically important in understanding the true nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission to conquer  or disciple the nations and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!

This message is from the Apostolic Kingdom Intensive at Perez Ministries in Jacksonville.  Bishop Kouri was the guest speaker.

Bishop continues his powerful message on the House of God by allowing the Apostle Peter to explain what it means to come to Jesus as the living Stone and be built together with other living stones to form a dwelling place (a Living Temple or House)for God in the Spirit.

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what actually happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, becoming members of the body of Jesus resurrection or the Church that Jesus is building. Speaking metaphorically or figuratively, Peter describes what happens when people are born again through repentance, valid water baptism, sealed with the Spirit, and added to Christ. Having come to the living Stone (Jesus Christ the King) and becoming themselves living stones, believers upon the foundation of Christ's Kingship and the foundation of the testimony of His apostles are being built together with other believers to form a living temple or house for God.

In this critically important message dealing with what it really means to be baptized into Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, and added His Church,  Bishop deals with the difficult and often misunderstood passage about Christ's Millennial Kingdom from the Book of Revelation chapter 20. 

Bishop climaxes this powerful message by allowing the Apostle Peter to explain what it means to come to Jesus as the living Stone and be built together with other living stones to form a dwelling place (a New Temple or House for God) for God in the Spirit. In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what actually happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, becoming members of the body of Jesus resurrection, His Church.

In his great commentary Peter references the promises made by God to King David in 2 Samuel 7 that the promised Christ would build God a spiritual house or family.

According to the Apostle, the Lord's Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven), being built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone and His apostles, is God's dwelling place in the world.  The Lord's Church is God's true address in the world, and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor, and the hopeless can come to Christ's Church and find the living God!

In this powerful and important series of messages, based on the Apostles' pattern of laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, Bishop Kouri probes the essential question of unity for the 21st century church, "to what or whom are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when a person is truly born again, he does not become a member of a denomination or join the church of his choice!

Instead, according to Acts 2:41, 1 Peter 2:4-9, and throughout the New Testament, when we are properly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are not only born again, but also added to Christ and the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones (sons and daughters of the Kingdom), and as we find placement in the Lord's Church, we are joined or built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in that place.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, this message is critically important for understanding the true nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission conquer the nations of the the world and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!

God uses ordinary people!

Joseph, a humble carpenter from Nazareth, falls in love with a girl named Mary. All of a sudden Mary turns up pregnant, as the plan and purpose of God breaks in upon Joseph's life and scrambles it.

As his life appears to be coming apart at the seams, God sends the angel Gabriel with a message: "Joseph, do not be afraid..."

The greatest enemy to faith is not doubt; it is fear.  Fear hinders faith and keeps us from doing the will of God.  Sometimes the greatest challenge to faith is simply the fear of doing God's will, the fear of the consequences or the cost!

As we face the challenge of a new year the greatest challenge you and I will face is the challenge of not being afraid, not being fearful to do the will of God in our lives. If we can learn not to fear the purpose of God for our lives, we will walk win! 

Next to Jesus, the most important person in the Christmas story is Mary!

In reaction to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox adoration of the Virgin Mary, Protestants often tend to ignore or downplay her. While it is true we should not worship her, it is very important that we honor her! Why did God choose her?  What was it about this young Jewish girl that made God choose her? Here is a woman who lived the miracle of Christmas...the miracle of the virgin birth of the Son of God. But not only did she live the miracle of Jesus' birth, she  lived the miracle of Christmas the rest of her entire life. Today, we often tend to divorce real life from the supernatural or from living miraculously. But our heavenly Father is interested in us living miraculously every single day, in our personal lives, our marriages, our businesses, and our jobs.

"Mary lived the miracle of Christmas every day the rest of her life!"

In this powerful Christmas message Bishop deals with three things that enabled Mary to do what she did and what it will take for you and me to live the miracle of Christmas every day of our lives!

Based upon Luke 2:8-20, the angel's announcement to the shepherds of the birth of Christ the Lord, Bishop Kouri continues to deal with the real message of Christmas.

Amazingly, the angel's announcement of Messiah's birth didn't shock these shepherds.

Could it be that they were expecting this event?

Reared as Jewish men, they were actually expecting this event to happen! In this insightful and powerful message Bishop Kouri deals with the question: "What was the Christmas expectation of the people at the time of Christ's birth in Bethlehem?"

One of the greatest authentications that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah, is that what happened that night was exactly what the shepherds expected to happen. God had revealed to Daniel the prophet that during the time of the Roman Empire the Messiah would come. Later God revealed to Daniel the exact time that the Messiah would come. As a result the entire Jewish world was filled with expectation! They knew what the prophets had promised.

What did the prophets promise? What were the people expecting? What was "The Hope of Israel"?

Preaching from Isaiah's wonderful Messianic prophesy recorded in Isaiah  9:2-7, Bishop Kouri proclaims the good news of the first coming of the Son of God.

In order to fully experience the meaning of Christmas, we must recognize the authenticity of Jesus, respond to the authority of Jesus, and receive the accomplishments ...of Jesus.

In this message Marie Howard encourages the body of Christ to keep and guard their Joy.

In this dynamic message Bishop Kouri reviews Peter's and all the original apostles' understanding of the Church as the Heavenly Zion, the Jerusalem above.  The same City that John saw coming down from God out of heaven. Bishop explains from the New Testament what really happens today as the Lord's Church gathers on the Lord's Day to ascend in the Spirit to the heavenly Mt. Zion, congregation by congregation, city by city, nation by nation until the whole Church has finally assembled around the throne of Christ the King to judge or govern kings (governments), cities and nations through the Church's corporate prayers!

"To understand all that King Jesus is doing today the modern saint must see by the Holy Spirit what John saw when he was exiled on the Island of Patmos and was caught up to heaven in the Spirit to join with the saints in a heavenly worship service. Just as John saw the Lord coming in the clouds of power and glory and dealing in judgment with the harlot City of Jerusalem and Apostate Israel in his generation, we must see the Lord dealing with the nations of the world in our generation!"

Peter's Understanding of The Church as The Temple, The House of God-Part 12d

In 1 Peter Chapter 2 the Apostle explains what happened on the Day of Pentecost, as 3000 men and their families repented of sin and got themselves baptized into the name of Jesus Christ becoming members of the body of Jesus Christ, the Church.

In his great commentary Peter references the promises made by God to King David in 2 Samuel 7 that the promised Christ would build God a spiritual house or family. Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and all the prophets of Israel understood that the Temple originally built by Solomon and rebuilt by Ezra and Herod were only shadows or types of the spiritual house or household that the Messiah would build for God. They prophesied that in the last days of the Old Covenant era the Temple of stone would be destroyed and replaced by a spiritual temple made of living stones, the sons of the Kingdom. The entire New Testament is written against the backdrop of the judgment that was coming upon apostate Israel in Peter's day, the coming destruction of the Harlot City of Jerusalem and the Temple built by Herod, in order that the heavenly City of Jerusalem and the True Temple (the Church of Jesus Christ) could be revealed.

"Who are the chosen people of God and the heirs of Messiah's Kingdom, those born of Jewish flesh or those baptized into Jesus Christ?"  This controversial question almost divided the early Church. However, the great Apostolic Council convened by the apostles in Jerusalem in A.D. 50, resolved this divisive question in favor of those who had been baptized into Jesus Christ. (See Acts 15.)

Ironically, the thorny question that almost divided the early Church is being raised once again in the 21st century. Failing to understand the revelation of Christ, His Kingdom, and His Church entrusted by Jesus to His apostles in the 1st Century, and stubbornly refusing to believe even as Jesus Himself prophesied that the Kingdom has been taken from the Jews and given to those baptized into Jesus Christ, postponement preachers like John Hagee, Tim LaHaye, and many others contend the Jews are still God's chosen people and Christ's Kingdom belongs to them. Preaching that the Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem and animal sacrifices must be restored before the Messiah can come and establish the Messianic Kingdom (in spite of the fact the New Testament makes no mention of such foolishness), they cause great confusion and division in the body of Christ!

In this message, Part 12d of "Being Added to Christ and His Church," Bishop Kouri continues to allow Peter define and explain the spiritual DNA of the sons and daughters of Messiah's Kingdom, as well as, the true nature or divine architecture of the spiritual House or Temple King Jesus is building today. According to the Apostle, the Lord's Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven), being built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone and His apostles, is God's dwelling place in the world.  The Lord's Church is God's true address in the world, and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor, and the hopeless can come to Christ's Church and find the living God!

In this powerful and important series of messages, based on the Apostles' pattern of laying the foundation of Christ's kingship in a person's life, Bishop Kouri probes the essential question of unity for the 21st century church, "to what or whom are we added really when we are born from above or initiated into Christ's Kingdom?" Contrary to what many assume today, when a person is truly born again, he does not become a member of a denomination or join the church of his choice! Instead, according to Acts 2:41, when we are truly baptized into Jesus Christ, we are not only born again but also added to Christ and the body of His resurrection. We are made alive to God spiritually, become living stones, and as we find placement in the Lord's Church, we are joined or built together with other living stones in our neighborhood or city to become God's dwelling place in that place.

In a time in history when Christ's Kingdom has been hijacked by religion and His Church divided into many different denominations, this message is critically important for understanding the true nature of the unity of the body of Christ, as well as, the Church's global mission conquer the nations of the the world and fill the earth with the glory of the sons of God!

According to the Apostle Peter, the Church, made of living stones (the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of heaven) and built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone or firstborn Son of the living God and His apostles, Christians are being built together to be God's dwelling place in the world.  Because of this the Lord's Church is God's address in the world and hurting people, the wounded, the sick, the broken, the disenfranchised and oppressed, the lonely, the poor and the needy can come to Christ's Church, find the living God, and have their needs met!

Contrary to what many assume today, when we are truly born again, we do not become members of a denomination or even join the church of our choice!

Marie Howard teaches on Kingdom Peace

Drawing on Luke's dramatic account of the conversion of 3000 souls on the day of Pentecost and Paul's powerful commentary on this event in Hebrews 6:1-3, Brother Kouri explains the true meaning and significance of Acts 2:41, 42 and Revelation 20:4-6. (In Acts 2:41 we read that those who "received Peter's command where added to the Church" and in Revelation 20:4-6 we read, "Blessed is he who has part in the first resurrection...they shall reign with Christ for a thousand years.") Contrary to the popular belief, you and I do not join the church of our choice, but when we are baptized into Christ we are added to the "General Church", the body of the Messiah! 

In this eye-opening message Bishop deals with what it really means to be added to the body of Jesus and to find valid placement in the household or family of God under authentic spiritual authority or Kingdom government!

This special Easter message climaxes with the glorious triumph of Jesus over all the powers of hell, His taking of the keys of death and hell from Satan, His release of the Old Testament saints like Moses and Elijah from paradise into heaven, the taking-up again or resurrection of His own body by Jesus Himself at the tomb of Joseph of Aramatheia, His ascent as High Priest into heaven to sprinkle His blood on the altar of God in heaven to establish the New Covenant as the foundation of His Messianic Kingdom, His resurrection appearances, and the amazing events that took place as Jesus was exalted and seated on the throne of David at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.

In this special Good Friday service, Pastor Kouri deals with the mystery of the physical and spiritual sufferings of Jesus, His death on the cross, and His descent into hell.

Pastor Sandra Kouri ministers Part 2 of her two-part message on inner healing and deliverance.

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, John tells us he was still bound with grave clothes!  Jesus commanded His disciples, "loose him and let him go free." While many have heard the voice of the Son of God and have been raised from spiritual death, they are still bound in their lives by the spirit of rejection, unforgivness, bitterness, or similar strongholds in their lives. In this powerful and informative message, Pastor Sandra deals with getting free from the hurts of the past, bad habits, addictions, hidden sins, and other things that bind us up and keep us from enjoying the liberty of the sons and daughters of God or walking in victory. 

"Getting Free And Living Free!"
Sandra Kouri ministers Part 1 of a two-part series on inner healing and deliverance.

According to the ancient prophets of Israel, the distinctive mark or characteristic of Messiah's Day would be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all mankind to bring forth a new creation. Jesus called the gift of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life, "the promise of the Father." In Luke's Gospel Jesus confidently declared, "the Father will give the Spirit to them that ask Him." And in the Acts of the Apostles Peter declared "God gives the Holy Spirit to all who obey Him."

Sunday March 22 Bishop Kouri continues his life-changing message "Building Your Life On The Unshakable Foundation of The Kingdom" with Part 7, "The Essential Question In Kingdom Initiation."

In Acts 19, the Apostle Paul asks disciples of the Lord in the city of Ephesus, "Have you received the Spirit since you believed?" They answer, "We have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." Paul then asks them, "Into what then were you baptized.?"

Thus we see that the essential question in Kingdom or Christian initiation is, "Have you received the Spirit?"

Everything Jesus did in His life and ministry was so that you and I can receive the indwelling Spirit of God for power to live like Jesus and to do the same things that Jesus did in His life and ministry

Pastor Kouri continues his eye-opening and life-changing series, "Vision 2009 And Beyond" with Part 6, "Building Your Life On An Unshakable Foundation!"

In the sermon on the mount Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The word translated"pure" means single minded or devoted. Jesus was declaring that if we want God move in our lives in power and glory, and truly get to know Him, then we must be single minded in our devotion. 

The Apostles James warned, "the double minded man will receive nothing from the Lord." 

Moses declared to Israel, "the Lord your God is a jealous God," and He Himself declared through the prophet Jeremiah, "You shall look for me and find me, when you look for me with all your heart."

This podcast is from Wednesday night meeting on March 11. In it Bishop Kouri deals with the reason many of us do not see the answers to our prayers and experience the fellowship or communion with the Lord that we desire. If you long to walk more closely with the Lord, if you long to know Him better, if you desparately need answers to your prayers, then this is the message for you!

Alexander Chisango writes: “Last month, I received special requests from my KC101 students to somehow avail a live lecture to aid students in their study. So before leaving N.Y. City for Zimbabwe I recorded a series of four 75 minute lectures on the topic, covering almost every scripture in the posted lecture on the site, plus more.”

“Also, Kingdom challenges and unique opportunities to serve God’s Kingdom purpose that I see in Zimbabwe since my return to my own country prove to me that the truths set forth in my new course Apostolic Architecture And Kingdom Dominion provide Scriptural answers to the problems involved in discipling nations.”

Pastor Kouri continues his eye-opening and life-changing series, "Vision 2009 And Beyond" with Part 4, "Building Your Life On An Unshakable Foundation!"

In the upper room in Jerusalem before His death on the cross, Jesus promised His disciples that after His ascension, He would send the Holy Spirit to indwell and empower all those who would believe and obey the Gospel. On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter declared, "repent and be baptized upon the basis of the name of Jesus and you shall receive the Holy Spirit." Later the Apostle Paul asked some Jesus' disciples in the City of Ephesus in Asia Minor, "have you received the Spirit since you believed?" Thus  we see that one of the essential dimensions or ingredients of a valid Kingdom initiation is the experience of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.  

How did this happen in the early Church?  How does it happen today?  In Part 4 of "Building Your Life On The Unshakable Foundation"  Brother Kouri deals with how you can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for power to live like Jesus today.

This dynamic series of messages is based upon the theme "What is the Spirit saying to the Churches" from Revelation 2:1, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18,29, and 3:1, 6, 7, 13, 14, 22. In this eye-opening series of messages Brother Kouri speaks to the saints of the King's Church about, "what God is doing in our lives individually, as a congregation, and as part of His global Church, and what the Spirit is saying to us in light of these things!"

Guest minister Apostle Herman Bradley brings a message on The Grace and Greatness of God.

"Vision is not just the ability to see the future, but the ability to see what God is doing in our own lives and in the world around us." George Kouri

Bishop Kouri began his four part message Vision 2009 And Beyond this past Sunday. In this dynamic message based upon the theme, "What is the Spirit saying to the Churches" taken from Revelation 1:10, 2:1, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18,29, and 3:1, 6, 7, 13, 14, 22,  Brother Kouri speaks to the saints of the King's Church about "what God is doing in the Nations today and what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches. To listen to this message click here.

This Sunday's message introduced message. In Part 2 on January 11 he spoke from a Pastoral perspective about what God is doing and what the Spirit is saying to the King's Church members individually about valid Kingdom foundations, individual freedom from the hurts and disappointments of the past, spiritual strongholds and demonic oppression, discovering individual gifts and callings, and going on to maturity and receiving our individual inheritances as sons and daughters of the Kingdom. To listen to this message click here.

In Part 3 Brother Kouri speaks to us as the bishop or overseer of the King's Church specifically about what God is saying to us as a church body (part of the larger Church in Jacksonville) about becoming a truly worshiping and ministering community. In this strategic message he shares what God is doing by His Spirit and providentially to move the King's Church from where we are in our experience as a body to where He wants us to be, and what the Spirit is saying to us about what should be happening on the Lord's day as we assemble to worship the King and pray Kingdom prayers to change governments and nations. In this message bishop also shares what the Spirit is saying to us as a ministering community about meeting the needs of the people of Jacksonville. To listen to this message click here.

In Part 4 Brother Kouri speaks apostolically and prophetically about what God is doing in the nations today, andwhat the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches globally about an apostolic reformation and the transformation of governments and nations. In this powerful and insightful message he talks about the difference between Logos and Rhema and shares practically what we can do as individuals and as a church body to get involved in the work and participate in the apostolic and prophetic strategies the Lord is giving His Church today to bring forth a true reformation of the Church and disciple the nations. To listen to this message click here.

In light of the glorious announcement of the birth of the Son of God, angels, light shining all around, and the glory of God are easy to understand. But the fact that ordinary shepherds understood and received the angel's announcement is amazing! Luke says that they immediately arose from the fields near Bethlehem and went to where the Child was. Could it be that they were actually expecting the miraculous thing that had happened? In this message Bishop Kouri answers the question: What where the shepherds expecting and what should we expect today?

Bishop Kouri ministers on overcoming the fear of doing the will of God using the powerful story of Joseph and the incredibly difficult challenge he faced of doing the will of God upon learning that Mary is pregnant and the Child she carries is not his! 

This powerful teaching on Receiving Apostolic grace is the third of Alexander Chisango's three apostolic and prophetic messages during his recent visit to Jacksonville.  Drawing on years of experience in the crucible of Zimbabwe and throughout the Continent of Africa, Bishop Chisango talks about how to receive and facilitate Kingdom or Apostolic grace.

Sunday Morning: Bishop Alexander Chisango, visiting from Zimbabwe, ministers Part 2 of his powerful three-part message on Receiving Apostolic Grace. Today, so many Christians seem to live lives of futility, failure, and defeat just like those in the world system. How can we receive the grace of God in our lives so that we can reign in life and be effective ministers of the grace of God to others?

Wednesday night: Bishop Alexander Chisango, visiting from Zimbabwe, ministers Part 1 of his powerful  three-part message on Receiving Apostolic Grace.

How can we receive the grace of God in our lives so that we can truly reign in life and be effective ministers of the grace of God to others?

Next to Jesus Himself the most important person in the Christmas story is Mary! Why did God choose her? What was it about her that caused God to pick Mary to be the mother of His only begotten Son? Here is a woman who lived the miracle, not just in Christ's birth, but in the rest of her entire life. She not only carried the baby in her womb, birthed Him, nurtured Him, followed and served Him in His ministry, watched Him at the cross as He died, saw Him alive again after His resurrection, received the Spirit sent by Him (even speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost), but she became a prominent leader in the Apostolic Church.

Like mary, the Lord wants all of us to move from experiencing momentary miracles to living miraculously every day, in our personal lives, our marriages, our families, our businesses, our jobs, and in everything. What was it about mary that let her live miraculously every day? What is it going to take for us to do the same?

Bishop Kouri teaches from Acts 2:41-47 concerning Kingdom Culture. The early Church faithfully demonstrated the life and culture of the Kingdom of heaven! As the fruit of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and power upon their lives, and their devoted obedience to the apostles' teaching of Christ's Kingdom commands, the culture of the Kingdom of God developed among them. They eventually demonstrated such love for one another, such powerful fellowship, and communion that they even sold their material possessions and shared the proceeds with any who had need. As a direct result of their faithful obedience to the commands of their Lord and King, whatever they asked, desired, or commanded in His Name He did, and consequently great miracles took place among them. Their fellow Israelites were so moved by the obvious demonstration of Kingdom culture and the power of God evident in their midst that multitudes were being added to their community every day!

The Lord is in the process of restoring this same life and culture to the Church in the 21st century. What is it going to take for the modern Church to demonstrate the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven?

Sandra Kouri finishes her 2 part message on Christian outreach and meeting the needs of the others through God's love and hospitality. According to Jesus Himself, the mark of authentic Christianity is "love for one another." Jesus declared it would be our love for one another and for those outside the household of faith that would demonstrate to the world we are His disciples. Her husband Bishop Kouri writes, "In over fifty years of Christian Ministry Sandra's simple message on love and hospitality is one of the greatest I have ever heard."

Part 3 of Bishop Kouri's exposition of Revelation 15:3, The Song of the Lamb. The Song of the Lamb is a prophetic song of victory and dominion based upon the ancient prophesy given to the Prophet Isaiah by the Spirit of Christ hundreds of years before His incarnation. In this prophetic song, the Lamb of God prophesies the historic judgment that ultimately came upon apostate Israel in 70 AD as the Kingdom of God was taken from Old Covenant Israel and given to the saints of New Covenant Israel. The early Apostolic Church sang this song as a their testimony of their faith in King Jesus and His victory over Satan's power, as they faced fierce persecution instigated by the Chief Priests and Elders of Israel and prosecuted by the Romans against Christ and His Church in the first century AD. This prophetic song was historically fulfilled in 70 AD with the burning of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple by the Romans, but it is still relevant for Christians and for Christ's Church as we face today's battles with the Kingdom of darkness in the 21st Century.

Bishop Michael Babin from Oceanside California ministers powerfully on overcoming adversity by faith in the King.
