THE GREATER THINGS
Greetings to all of our dear and precious friends and partners. Welcome back to this Sunday teaching series which is of varied topics. Today I will start a teaching on “The Greater Things” that Jesus spoke about and we are commanded to do. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible to increase the spread of the good news (gospel), the Truth.
I am sure you are all very aware that a critical election is drawing near and this is a presidential year. Election day is November 3, 2020. There is a lot of Bible Numerology in this date. November is the eleventh month and eleven is the number of alignment with God. Three is a number of spiritual perfection. Twenty is the number of redemption. The twenty is repeated therefore our redemption is in Christ who is the Word. Vote according to the Word. Study Psalm 2, the current raging of the heathen are a last-ditch effort, before the great awakening, to throw off the restraints of righteousness. You may or may not like President Trump but he has unabashedly supported the right to life of the unborn, there is no greater friend of Israel, and he has stood firmly to prevent infringement of the Second Amendment (the right of self-defense and the prevention of tyranny), the amendment upon which the others depend. God the giver of all life firmly supports all life born or not. God tells us in Genesis 12:1-3 that blessing Israel is close to His heart and He will bless those who bless Israel and He will curse those who curse Israel. God is all about self-defense (Luke 22:36). Plan to vote and vote according to Scripture.
Now, back to our primary lesson. This Ministry seeks to bring all people with ears to hear and eyes to see out of the bondage of the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons into His marvelous light. The featured picture today depicts people engaged in what the media has called peaceful protests but the dullest of people can see they are violent and make no sense at all. This is the work of the devils, the god(s) of this world who rule in deception, confusion, and chaos with the sole intent of stealing, killing, and destroying. Jesus however has called us to restore truthfulness, restore the stolen things sevenfold, bring life to the dead things, and build with excellence the places of destruction. Now, let’s look at the Scriptural foundation for our authority and the Power needed to accomplish all that our Heavenly Father requires of us. First the Words of Jesus straight from the Father.
John 14:12 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
In the beginning the original intent, will of God, was for man to have dominion, authority delegated and not overridden by God, over all the earth. Authority without the power, raw power, to back it up or enforce it is useless so God gave us the Blessing which is the Holy Ghost (Spirit) and Power.
Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Bold added)
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Bold added)
After man sinned did God change His mind on how He wanted His children to function? Of course not! God does not change, period. Man, with sin, however forfeited his ability to trigger the supernatural response of God since He was out of relationship and fellowship with God. However, God was always legally able to find people who would worship Him and Him alone and whom He could Anoint to do His purposes until Jesus (Messiah) could come and restore all things.
Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
In the preceding Scripture we once again see God delegating “all authority” to mankind, those who believe upon Him. And, as you can see in the following reference the Power to back it up.
Luke 24:49 (KJV)
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Next week, Lord willing, I will pick up with our study of “The Greater Things”.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
