Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

I'm going to begin by reading probably the words outside of the scripture themselves

that have been more important to me in my journey than any other words.

This is simply called the kingdom man.

True success is not achieved.

True success is received. Worldly men have faith in their work. Kingdom men work out their faith. Worldly men calls others to know their methods. Kingdom men calls others to know their God. The success of worldly men can be defined in certain observable methods, methods that can be cataloged, emulated,

and sold for profit. The success of kingdom men is attributed to only one thing. That one thing is

obedience to the spoken word of Yahweh. And while that obedience may be manifested in observable

acts, emulation of those acts by others will never bring the

hoped for success. Therefore, the kingdom man's success does not produce much in the way of a product

that can be marketed at great prices, bringing great wealth to the man. But the kingdom man's

success does cause glory to be given to Yahweh.

Worldly men base their success upon information, information that can be cleverly edited

to smooth the way the rough edges, cleverly packaged, advertise, and marketed in order to bring

great wealth to its author.

Kingdom men know that their success is based upon uncompromised obedience to a revelation

from Yahweh.

True revelation is biting, sharp, provocative, challenging, an ever-present threat

to the status quo.

I'm going to read that part again. True revelation is

biting, sharp, provocative, challenging, an ever-present threat to the status quo. Therefore,

kingdom men are almost always misunderstood, lonely, and rejected in their time.
