I'm Brian Del Turco, and today I have a remarkable guest — Paul Hubbard, joining us from England. Paul has walked with Jesus for over 44 years, ministering apostolically and prophetically across the UK, Europe, Africa, and beyond. Paul, how did you first encounter Jesus?Paul: I encountered him after a very difficult operation in which I actually died on the operating table. Seven days after being released from hospital, Jesus came to meet me in my bedroom. I experienced having been given a totally new heart — not physical, but real. In the morning I was completely changed. I looked out the door, I looked at the trees and went, the trees are green, the sky's blue. It was that radical. I went around telling everybody I loved them, that God loved them. I was a new creation immediately.Brian: Born again. Radically regenerated. Paul has since served globally — UK, Norway, Italy, Kenya, Nepal, Paraguay, the USA, Canada — and is presently, along with his wife Corinne, seeking to see the true ecclesia emerge. He describes ministering amongst the dying embers of the church at large, believing we have entered a new era since 2020 — one that looks dark and dangerous on one side, but on the other, the glory of God is arising within his people. A company of burning hearts is being prepared for this moment.

The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies. This is not a seeker-sensitive psalm. It is potent, urgent, and demands a response. Paul, what is your assessment?Paul: Jesus has finished and accomplished everything the Father wanted him to do. It's all wrapped up, everything is done, everything's finished, and it's all under his feet. He's the King — not just in heaven, but over the whole cosmos. Everyone's waiting for Jesus to do something more, whilst Jesus is waiting for us to administer his kingdom on the earth.Brian: Jesus raises Psalm 110 in Matthew 22, just before his crucifixion. Peter quotes it in Acts 2 immediately after the Holy Spirit is poured out. This psalm is not relegated to the future. It is already in play. Christ is reigning now — and we are his body, his hands, his feet, his beating heart. We are the ones called to carry the kingdom of God into the earth.Paul: We're not doing it the way people think he ought to. He's already here. He's just waiting for us to administer what he's already done.Brian: This is the weight of Psalm 110 pressing down on you and me right now. Not someday. Now.Hebrews 6 and the Cornelius PeopleBrian: If Christ is already reigning and waiting for us to administer his kingdom, the uncomfortable question becomes: are we actually equipped for that? Hebrews 6 is direct — though you should be teachers, you need someone to teach you again. You need milk, not solid food. You are underdeveloped, arrested in your walk with God.Paul: If the elementary principles of Christ — the living letters of Jesus himself — are not alive on the inside of us, then we're not carryi
