May 10, 2026, Saturday Teachings

 So, we want everyone to share what your understanding has been so far from the different classes, units, and areas we have covered together. What has the Lord Jesus personally been teaching you throughout the week? SiriFlow is open to everyone, so feel free to share your understanding and the thoughts the Lord has placed on your heart during the week.

One person shared that the Lord has been teaching them that throughout all ages, since the beginning of time, God has always had a program for mankind. In the days of Moses, God gave the Law to Israel, which was His program for His physical people at that time. But in these last days, God sent Jesus Christ, and now we are in the dispensation of grace and truth.

They explained that we are living in the latter times spoken of in Scripture. Jesus warned that many false prophets, false teachers, and false christs would arise. Today, many churches no longer hold firmly to the true gospel, and we can clearly see the fulfillment of prophecy as the love of many has grown cold and wickedness has increased in the world.

The speaker also shared something personal the Lord spoke to them. The Lord warned them, “Make sure that you are not rejected.” He revealed that grace was given for believers to steward faithfully, not to abuse or misuse. Grace was given so that believers could overcome sin, not continue living in it. The Christian life is meant to be one of growth and maturity, becoming sons and daughters who grow into the full stature of Christ.

They explained that many believers have not fully matured because they have only been hearers of the Word and not doers. But God is working through His Word, which is Jesus Christ, to transform His people. In summary, they concluded that God’s present program is one of spiritual growth and maturity.

Another person shared about the importance of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They testified that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome the flesh and live above sin.

They gave personal examples from their week. One day, a colleague offended them greatly, and they left feeling upset. However, during prayer, the Lord instructed them to go back and apologize, even though they felt the other person was at fault. They obeyed and sought reconciliation.

On another occasion, they answered a sister dishonestly during a conversation. Later, while praying, they felt convicted by the Holy Spirit to call her, apologize, and correct what they had said. Only after obeying could they continue in peace during prayer.

Through these experiences, they learned that the Holy Spirit helps believers overcome the flesh and walk rightly before God. They referenced Acts 1:8, which says that believers receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Without the Holy Spirit, the Christian walk cannot be effective.

They also reflected on how the Holy Spirit serves as our Helper, Comforter, and Intercessor, helping believers pray and live according to God’s will. Without the Holy Spirit, the walk with Christ would not go far.

The discussion concluded with encouragement that every Christian needs the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit reveals the Father and the Son to believers and guides them into truth.

No one has any idea at all?

No.

Okay, someone raised a hand. Yes, okay. Do you have an idea about it?

Okay, go ahead.

“Is that…? Um, I didn’t raise my hand.”

You raised your hand. Do you have an idea about it? Okay, one person speaking now.

“Yes, I do. I believe I do.”

Alright, go ahead. What do you understand the Gospel of the Kingdom to be?

“Yes, please, I want to try. The Gospel of the Kingdom is about Jesus Christ, repentance, salvation, and the Kingdom of God.”

Good. Someone has spoken about it, so let us go to the Scriptures.

Matthew 24.

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

That is Matthew 24.

So, what is the Gospel of the Kingdom?

Number one, it is the Gospel of Truth.

Number two, it is the Gospel of the End.

And number three, it is the Gospel of Change.

These are the areas we will begin to explain in detail.

First, the Gospel of Truth. What truth are we talking about here? It is the truth of salvation — the provision for man to be born again in Christ.

This is where we begin, and we do not want to rush through it. We are following the teaching foundation we have already started.

The topic is the Gospel of the Kingdom, and as we have read from Scripture, the first aspect is the Gospel of Truth. Take note of that.

So, what is the truth of salvation in the context of the Gospel?

The truth of salvation begins with genuine repentance of the heart. This is the first factor toward the salvation of man.

A person may hear the Word of God, accept it, and even believe it, but if there is no repentance in the heart, that is where the journey ends.

Repentance of the heart is the position and condition of the heart. It is the reaction of the heart to the Word of God that has been heard. The heart is the center of every spiritual movement in a person.

No one can truly prove they have received salvation without genuine repentance of the heart. Repentance means change. It is the conviction that comes into the heart of a person through the Word of God, and that conviction determines whether the Gospel will become effective in that person’s life or not.

Many people do not fully understand repentance, which is why we are explaining it as part of the truth of salvation. If this factor is missing from the beginning of a person’s salvation journey, there will be struggles afterward.

Why the struggle?

Because the truth of salvation, especially concerning repentance, was not properly established.

True repentance of the heart is like cultivating the soil of the heart, because what follows after the Gospel is the seed of God being sown into a person’s life.

The seed of the Word of God must be sown into the heart of the person who has genuinely repented and accepted it. That seed of God in you is the beginning of your journey as a child of God and your inheritance in the Kingdom.

It means that regardless of all the Gospel messages you hear, if the seed of God has not been planted in your life, then you have not truly begun the journey with God.

So, what makes you a child of God?

It is not your flesh. The child of God is the Spirit of Christ that is born within you through the seed of the Gospel sown into your heart.

The seed of the Gospel cannot be planted in the heart without genuine repentance, because this is a matter of the heart.

This is why anyone who tries to stop a person from true conviction and repentance is actually preventing the seed of God from entering that person, thereby hindering the Spirit of Christ from being formed in them.

A person may claim to be a child of God, but if the truth that produces sonship is not present, there will be no real growth into the life of Christ, because the seed of God was never truly planted.

The truth is that the Gospel carries its own life, and it cannot work in a person without repentance. As stated earlier, repentance is the major factor of the heart coming into agreement with the Word of God and disagreement with the former life of sin.

We have spoken about this before, but now we are emphasizing it so that you can understand clearly. When we speak about the truth of salvation, this is where it begins. Without this foundation, no spiritual work of the Gospel can truly take place in a person’s life.

The Gospel is the power of God, and when a person receives it, something is deposited into their life. It becomes a spiritual work that begins within them.

Every manifestation of the spiritual life of Christ in a believer begins from this point. This is the foundation.

Later, we will discuss repentance more deeply because repentance has characteristics and features that affect a person’s journey as a child of God.

If there is no genuine repentance when receiving the Gospel, it will affect spiritual growth later on. This is why some people claim to have received the Gospel, yet they continue growing deeper into the flesh. The issue often lies in how they first received the Gospel.

So, genuine repentance of the heart is necessary to be born again.

And to be born again means to receive the seed of the Word within you. This is what we call the Gospel.

The Scripture says, “Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin… and if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.”

These are important truths to understand.

When we talk about salvation, we are talking about freedom — specifically freedom from the bondage of sin. If a person is not free from the bondage of sin, then the reality of salvation has not yet manifested in their life.

Salvation is not merely something a person claims with words. There must be evidence, and that is the first evidence.

The next truth of salvation is the resurrection of the dead soul back to life — the restoration of spiritual life and righteousness.

Before salvation, man died spiritually because of sin. The soul that sins against God is dead in relation to the service of God.

The truth of salvation is the resurrection of that soul back to life. And this resurrection has evidence.

Just as freedom from sin is evident, the resurrection of the soul is also evident. When the spirit of a person is set free, that person becomes free to worship and serve God in spirit and truth.

A person in bondage cannot truly serve God. Like the Apostle Paul described, the person may desire to do good, yet find themselves unable because something within is still holding them captive.

But when the soul is brought back to life, there is evidence.

You begin to see spiritual activities and works of righteousness. There is a desire to serve God, a hunger and thirst for righteousness, a longing to know God more deeply, to pray, and to spend time in the things of God.

These things are not artificial and cannot be fabricated.

They are evidence that the soul which died because of sin has now been brought back to life through salvation.

It is not something false, and it cannot be fabricated. That is the evidence that the soul has come back to life — the soul that died because of sin has now been restored through salvation.

No one forces a person to serve God, follow God, or worship God. It is not by compulsion. This was the kind of life man lived before he fell into sin and died spiritually. The death spoken of here is not physical death, but the death of the spirit within man.

When a person is restored back to life through the Gospel, salvation becomes visible through spiritual activities and service to God. Such a person begins to value serving God above every other thing in life.

To understand this clearly, life can be classified into two dimensions: the spiritual life and the physical life. Man was created with both aspects functioning together.

When the spiritual side of a person is dead in relation to God, it becomes evident in their activities. Their life reflects only physical pursuits. Activities related to God become minimal or completely absent.

It becomes easy to focus only on earthly and physical things. A person may wake up, follow daily routines, go to work, engage in entertainment, sports, parties, and other activities, yet have no time at all for God. This shows a spiritually dead condition.

But when the soul is restored back to life, the entire program of life changes.

A person who once slept through the night may now wake up to pray because the spirit man has become alive. Spiritual activities begin to appear naturally. Time is now intentionally reserved for prayer, worship, studying the Word, and serving God.

This is evidence that the spirit has come back to life.

That is why salvation cannot merely be claimed by words. These are truths that must be evident in a person’s life.

There are twenty-four hours in a day. If you want to know whether your soul has truly been regenerated and whether the truth of salvation is active in your life, examine how your time is spent. If the spirit is alive, it will be reflected in your priorities and activities.

You begin to develop a genuine desire to study the Word of God, speak about the Gospel, and talk about Jesus. Not because you are pretending, but because the soul has come alive again.

You also begin to hunger for growth in the knowledge of God. Just as the physical body desires food to sustain life, the regenerated soul longs for spiritual nourishment through the Word of God.

When a baby is born, it naturally looks for food. In the same way, when the soul is brought back to life, it begins to hunger and thirst for the Word of God.

These are practical ways to examine ourselves.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is first the Gospel of Truth, and the first truth is the truth of salvation. That is why so much emphasis is placed on salvation.

When the soul is restored to life, it also begins to form within a person the vision of the Kingdom.

Even if someone is hearing the Gospel for the first time and desires to repent and follow Jesus, that person needs salvation.

Likewise, someone who has been in church for many years, or even someone serving in ministry as a pastor, still needs to continually walk in the reality of salvation.

Salvation is both the beginning and the end of the Kingdom journey. That is why it is so important.

The cost of salvation is the life of the Son of God, so it is not something small or common. Even the combined wealth of the world cannot compare to its value.

That is why salvation must never be taken lightly.

Miracles, signs, and wonders are not equal to salvation. Jesus said in Matthew 7 that not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. A person may perform miracles in His name and still lack true salvation.

Salvation deals with the issue of sin in a person’s life, and it must be maintained faithfully.

This is why Scripture says, “He that endures to the end shall be saved.” Salvation is necessary at both the beginning and the end of the Kingdom journey.

Every attack of the enemy is ultimately aimed either at preventing a person from receiving salvation or causing them to lose it after receiving it.

Therefore, believers must continually live in the truth of salvation and guard it carefully.

So, the Gospel is the call to salvation — the call for man to be born again in Christ through faith in Jesus, accepting Him as Lord of life, Savior of the soul, and the only begotten Son of God.

Jesus Christ is the Savior of your soul and the only begotten Son of God.

Listen carefully: if you are here and you have never truly had an encounter with Jesus by giving your life to Him, then you need salvation. Without it, you cannot truly understand or begin the Kingdom journey.

If you are among those who were pressured or forced into receiving the Gospel or “giving your life to Christ,” understand that this is not how it should be. The Gospel must never be forced upon anyone, because it concerns the deepest truth about man’s existence.

Man was created as both spirit and flesh. We already saw this illustrated in the story of the rich man in Luke chapter 16.

Whether a person believes the Gospel or not does not change the reality that every human being will face judgment after leaving this world. But when we receive the Gospel, we escape condemnation.

The rich man rejected the truth and lived only for this earthly life. He had wealth, comfort, and everything he desired physically, yet he lacked salvation. And when he died, he found himself in torment, begging that someone would be sent back to warn his family so they would not follow the same path.

So if you are living on this earth without responding to the Word of God and the Gospel you are hearing, you must understand that eternity is involved.

This is not optional. Every human being must face it, whether they believe it or not, whether they know it or not.

That is why anyone who preaches the Gospel to you or invites you to hear the teachings of God is not trying to harm you. They are speaking about the most important issue of your existence.

Do not ignore the Gospel simply because your physical life seems fine. You must understand the truth about man’s creation and existence. The real person is the spirit within.

Do not be deceived by the temporary nature of earthly life. Scripture clearly teaches that when a person dies, the body returns to the earth, but the spirit returns to God for judgment.

If someone treats the Gospel lightly, they are making a serious mistake. After death, there is no opportunity for repentance.

That is why Abraham said in the parable that even if someone returned from the dead, those who reject the Word still would not listen.

The Gospel is God’s call for man to be born again through faith in Jesus Christ.

If you have never truly encountered the Gospel and experienced salvation, then regardless of church attendance or religious activity, your spirit has not yet entered into the journey toward eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

If the Gospel has little priority in your life, it means you do not yet understand the value of your spirit.

The Gospel is the most important matter in a person’s life. It should come first above all else, because everything in this world is temporary. If a person gains everything in this life but loses eternity, they have lost everything.

That is why Scripture speaks about weeping and gnashing of teeth. Many people treated the Gospel as secondary, something to fit into their schedule only when convenient, without realizing it was the central issue of their existence.

Everything people pursue on earth is temporary and will eventually pass away. What matters most is the condition of the spirit before God.

God does not desire anyone to perish, but He does not force anyone. When you hear the Gospel, do not harden your heart. Open your heart to the Lord.

The Word being preached is not merely the word of man; it is the Word of God directed toward your life.

The purpose of salvation is to deliver man from the bondage of sin, set him free, and prepare him for eternity.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is also called the Gospel of the End.

What does that mean?

It means the Gospel brings an end to the reign and practice of sin in a person’s life and leads them into righteousness and the Kingdom of God.

Many people say they have decided to follow God, yet they still find themselves battling sinful patterns. The Gospel of the Kingdom comes to bring an end to those things completely.

Scripture says, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”

Whoever is truly born of God does not continue living in sin because the seed of God remains in them.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is meant to bring transformation into a person’s life.

How does this transformation happen? That is a deeper teaching that must be understood carefully. Many believers struggle because there are still areas of sin and fleshly battles within them.

The Gospel enters a person’s life to lead them into the righteousness of the Kingdom.

That is why Jesus said, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

When reading Scripture, it must be read with understanding.

Jesus said:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

Many will say they prophesied, cast out demons, and performed miracles in His name, yet He will say, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice iniquity.”

This means that it is not enough to appear religious outwardly. The issue is how a person truly walks before God.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is the Gospel of the End because it works to bring sin to an end in a person’s life so that their walk with God may be genuine, righteous, and acceptable before Him.

Your walk with God matters.

How are you truly living your life? Have you seen any real transformation or signs of change in your life? That is what the Gospel of the Kingdom is about.

We cannot go too deeply into all these topics now because of time, but these are teachings that will be explained properly in future sessions. The Gospel of the Kingdom is a course of spiritual education. It requires consistent learning and growth day by day before its results begin to appear clearly in a person’s life.

Now, the Gospel of the Kingdom is also the Gospel of Change.

What does that mean?

It means the transformation of a person from fleshly living into spiritual living according to the nature of the Kingdom of God.

Scripture says:

“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”

And again:

“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.”

Anyone who desires to enter the Kingdom of God must experience a change in nature — from fleshly, worldly living into the spiritual nature of the Kingdom.

Everything about the flesh naturally follows the ways of the world, but the spirit of a person, when transformed, begins to pursue the righteousness of God’s Kingdom.

This is why many believers struggle. A person may call themselves a child of God, yet still remain under the bondage of the flesh.

Romans chapter 8 says:

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

The issue is: how are you walking? After the flesh or after the Spirit?

The Gospel of the Kingdom comes to change a person’s life into the nature of the Kingdom because fleshly living cannot inherit God’s Kingdom.

Even if someone says they are a child of God, if they continue to walk according to the flesh, it shows there is still a need for transformation.

This Gospel changes a person from fleshly understanding in serving God to spiritual understanding in serving God, because God is Spirit.

It changes a person from depending on human wisdom to being led by the Spirit of God.

As Scripture says:

“As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.”

All these changes happen practically within a person’s life.

That is why the Gospel of the Kingdom is practical. It affects the way a person lives and prepares them for the qualification of the Kingdom.

The Gospel is educational in nature. It teaches, trains, reforms, and transforms a person’s life. Through it, a person receives the reality and impact of salvation.

Scripture says:

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.”

The Gospel changes a person from the old life into the new life.

It changes the old nature that easily falls into sin into a new nature that desires obedience to the Word of God.

It changes fear into boldness, weakness into strength, and ignorance into spiritual understanding.

A person becomes bold enough to speak and teach the Word of God and to live openly for Christ.

This transformation affects every part of life — character, actions, speech, behavior, and thinking.

A person cannot claim to be a child of God simply because they attend fellowship while their life remains unchanged. The Gospel of the Kingdom brings real transformation.

Many people quote Scripture, but the question is: do you truly have a new life?

The evidence of receiving the Gospel is practical change.

Your language changes. Your conduct changes. Your desires change. The sinful habits that once controlled you begin to break.

And this transformation begins from within. It is not artificial, forced, or fabricated.

Later, we may explain the difference between transformation and mere outward influence or emotional excitement. True change comes from within the spirit of a person.

One person then asked:

“You mentioned change from fear to boldness. This is something I struggle with. Sometimes I know I can do certain things, but when the time comes, I become nervous and afraid. How do I overcome that?”

The response was:

Change is a process in your life. It is not automatic.

Through teaching, spiritual understanding, and the knowledge you receive from the Gospel, fear is gradually destroyed.

The Spirit of God works through the truth you continue to learn and receive.

That is why the Gospel is educational. You remain in the process of learning and growing. Gradually, the old life fades away and a new life begins to replace it through the teachings of the Gospel.

Transformation is not simply someone laying hands on you once and everything changes instantly. True growth is a process.

The Gospel adds new things to your life and removes old things from your life.

As you continue faithfully in the teachings, you begin to notice areas where change has already happened, while also recognizing areas that still need growth.

That is why spiritual growth requires consistency. As you continue learning and advancing, the remaining areas of your life are also transformed through the ongoing work of the Gospel.

The Gospel of the Kingdom is practical. Its evidence is seen in the transformation it produces in a person’s life.

That is the true examination of the Gospel — the visible change taking place within you.

Not by physical appearance alone, but by your character, actions, and the evidence of Christ — the Word of God living in you.

There is no automatic success in this spiritual journey without submitting yourself to the teachings and process of the Gospel.

Yes, that is the reality.

If you follow the principles of the teachings and remain committed to the process, growth will surely come.

Also, please remember to raise your hand before speaking so that order can be maintained during the meeting. Once you are called upon, then you may speak.

A participant then asked:

“I have two questions. First, if someone is working on a project and there is an occultic person contending over it, trying to prevent them from taking possession, what should be done?

Secondly, in ministry, if there are people serving in leadership who become jealous, envious, or contentious, what should be done in such situations?”

The response was:

The first thing is this: it depends on the level of spiritual authority you carry.

You cannot take possession of something spiritually unless you truly have authority over it.

One of the things that limits the authority of a child of God is unresolved bondage in their own life.

That is why we are teaching these truths first.

As long as a person is still in bondage to sin, flesh, pride, jealousy, fear, or other spiritual weaknesses, they cannot effectively exercise authority over darkness because those things still have influence over them.

Before you can stand to set others free, you yourself must first be free.

You must overcome the works of darkness within your own life before you can confront them outside.

This is one of the purposes of the Gospel of the Kingdom — to transform and establish a person first.

Many people receive the Gospel and immediately try to operate in power over others before the Gospel has completed its work within them. That is why they eventually reach a limit.

Authority is not just about using the name of Jesus verbally. It is about your relationship, growth, and standing in Christ.

That is why the sons of Sceva failed when they tried to cast out demons. Even though they used the name of Jesus, the spirits did not recognize their authority.

The issue was not merely the name they used, but the spiritual condition of the people using it.

Before talking about demonstrations of spiritual power, a person must first be genuinely transformed and established by the Gospel.

Concerning ministry and leadership contention:

The Spirit of God does not operate in strife, jealousy, confusion, or competition.

Whenever contention and jealousy dominate a ministry environment, it is a sign that the Spirit of God is no longer leading that atmosphere at that moment.

Another spirit has entered in.

People may once have operated genuinely in God’s Spirit, but if they allow jealousy, pride, bitterness, or competition to take over, they begin to operate under a different influence.

This can happen to anyone if they are not watchful.

That is why spiritual maturity is necessary.

Consider Peter.

At one moment, he spoke by revelation from God when he declared:

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus told him that this revelation came from the Father.

But shortly afterward, Peter spoke contrary to God’s will, and Jesus rebuked him, saying:

“Get behind me, Satan.”

How could the same Peter speak correctly one moment and wrongly the next?

Because a believer can still fluctuate between spiritual influence and fleshly influence if the Gospel has not yet fully matured and transformed their life.

A person may truly be born again, yet still struggle with fleshly reactions, pride, fear, anger, or worldly influences.

That is why spiritual growth is necessary.

At one moment a person may act under the Spirit of Christ, and later act under another spirit entirely.

Scripture says:

“Whoever you yield yourself to obey becomes your master.”

So being in ministry, being a pastor, or holding a title does not automatically mean a person has reached spiritual maturity or full transformation.

A simple way to recognize this is:
whenever there is strife, confusion, hatred, envy, division, or unnecessary contention, the Spirit of God is not leading that atmosphere.

The Spirit of God operates in truth, peace, order, humility, and righteousness.

That is why the Word of God is not something to argue with. It stands as truth whether people accept it or reject it.

Another participant then responded:

“I think I understand now. Like the sons of Sceva — when they tried to cast out demons, the spirit said, ‘Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you?’

So if something is not responding, it may mean a person’s authority has not yet developed in the spirit realm through true growth and transformation in Christ.

And when a person has truly been transformed by the Gospel, darkness recognizes the authority of Christ in them.”

The response was:

Yes.

Spiritual authority is connected to the depth of your relationship with God and the level of transformation that the Gospel has produced in your life.

That relationship affects both spiritual power and authority.

Even the disciples once prayed for someone and nothing happened.

But when Jesus arrived and spoke, the situation changed immediately.

The difference was the depth of spiritual authority and relationship with the Father.
