AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH
Tuesday – November 24, 2020, Kislev 8, 5781
FOR THIS CAUSE
Greetings dear and precious friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible. Be reminded of the Wednesday Night Bible Study at 6 pm eastern time on Zoom. If you need the meeting id and password contact us. These meetings have been powerful, come expecting. Expect to receive whatever is needed by faith. The featured picture today was contributed by Joe Getchell Jr. as was yesterdays. Joe has a wonderful eye for interesting scenes. This is Thanksgiving week and we encourage everyone to look around, look inside and see all the things for which we can be thankful. As I have said before, for those born again, no matter the circumstances, can be thankful they are not headed for eternity in Hell. It is far better to be headed for eternity in Heaven with our Father and our Lord. Beyond that remember that all things in this earth whether in our bodies or outside our bodies are temporal. Whatever our circumstances they are not of God! They are the result of our thoughts and words. So, if we change our thoughts and words, we change our world (circumstances).
Luke 6:44-46 (KJV)
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Jesus tells us that a tree (you and me) is known by the fruit produced. What is being and has been produced in each of our lives? Is our life full of the various kinds of poverty including financial poverty? Are our bodies riddled with disease? I heard a well known Christian leader recently say that if a person is not a millionaire within nine months of being saved there is either something wrong with them or their preacher. I suspect that the vast majority of persons we read that statement said; no way, that just isn’t reasonable. It is not reasonable in the devils’ system but in the Kingdom of God all things are possible. Then we are told by the Master that the good man out of his good thoughts (Scriptural) brings forth good things (as defined by God). On the other hand the evil man (also a Christian) out of his evil thoughts brings fourth the evil things of the curse. Next Jesus puts His finger on the problem. We are not doing what He tells us, pure and simple. This is not a time to just read this, nod our head, and move on. It is a time for meditation and repentance. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text and read it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 18:35-37 (KJV)
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Jesus is on His way to the Cross, now just a couple of hours away. In verse thirty-seven He tells Pilate that He is indeed a King and to that end was He born into the earth. Jesus was making possible the return of the Kingdom of God into the earth. Jesus, our Lord and Savior is the King of kings.
Revelation 17:14 (KJV)
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Shout for joy for we are those with Him and we are called the chosen and the faithful. He is the head of the re-established Kingdom of God in the earth and in Heaven. His coming, His death, and His resurrection are a testament to the Truth of prophecy and the Truth. Remember, the Truth is Jesus, the Word of God (Jesus), the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Truth and testifies of Jesus, and Love (God/Jesus is love). So when Jesus says that “every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” He is saying; anyone that believes on me hears my voice. Sound familiar?
John 10:27-30 (KJV)
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (Bold added)
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
For one to say they don’t hear from God is to call Jesus a liar. Let’s not do that but instead agree with Him and practice the voice of the Spirit. Lord willing, I will pick up here tomorrow.
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).
