AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

ALL THINGS ARE MINE
Greetings dear and precious people and welcome back to this powerful Bible Study of the Book of John. Please take a moment to share this teaching and all others as widely as possible. What a wonderfully beautiful sunset in Pittsfield, Maine. This picture was taken by Joe Getchell Jr. a very good friend, and a very good man. This tranquil scene is in sharp contrast to the turmoil that is ongoing on in our nation as I write this (1 June). The heathen certainly are raging at the behest of demonic powers but their mission is vain and in the end will come to naught (Psalm 2). There is a rising remnant in the earth who will arise and recover all (1 Samuel 30).
All that is happening now and in the past is being allowed by the Church. We, the Church, are the governing authority in the earth. As Joshua said to the tribes of Israel after coming into the Promised Land, how long will you (and me) be slack? If we are waiting for God to handle this without us doing our part, exercising our authority in faith, or if we are of the mindset that this is just the way it is until Jesus comes, we are in a deep deception. This is also true concerning all the facets of our personal lives. The traditional Church is in gross darkness, which they have chosen.
It is your hand and my hand on the rudder, the steering wheel, of our lives not another. No, it is not God’s hand either. God does not and will not control the decisions of our lives. We are also not subject to the ways of the devil(s). We must however be ever vigilant for the deceptions of the devil; he is the father of lies. When we enter into his deceptions, we ourselves open the door for stealing, killing, and destroying. The deceived are not only those in the world but in the traditional Church. Many in the Church think they are on fire but have by their own choices been blinded by choosing the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons.
We are not relegated or doomed to the status quo, there is a rising remnant. This rising remnant will bring much-needed hope, words of Truth, and the Power of God to the world and those in the Church who will receive and believe. As the Church was at the beginning, so it will be in the end. When the end comes the traditional Church will be in deep darkness. The victory is not in the jump, holler, and singing, but in the receiving of the pure Word of God, believing the pure Word of God, and doing in faith the pure Word of God, in love, led of the Holy Spirit. Then we will do the things Jesus did and the greater things (John 14:12). Let’s all look intently at the following passage and ask ourselves if these things are occurring our life or our Church.
Luke 7:21-22 (KJV)
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text for our study and read it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 16:13-16 (KJV)
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
Wow, look at verse fifteen of our text. Jesus tells them and us that all things the Father has are His. What does that mean for us? By the way, the word ‘things’ is not part of the original text, see this verse in the Complete Jewish Bible.
John 16:15 (CJB)
15 Everything the Father has is mine; this is why I said that he receives from what is mine and will announce it to you.
Everything would include the spiritual and is all created physical and spiritual things. That is an infinite amount. These things would include ‘words’ which are a part of the spiritual realm. All created things whether spiritual or physical including the Words of God are ours and brought to us by the Spirit of Truth. God is so good dear ones. It is everything! He is not withholding anything from us. This will not just drop on us, we must be diligent, and with the exercise of faith, in love (right motivations), led of the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, acquire knowledge of all things. Yes, yes, and yes! When people refer to this or that as a mystery they might as well say they are too lazy to find out.
1 John 2:20 (KJV)
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John 2:20 (YLT)
20 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;
When we don’t walk in victory, whose fault is it? Let us determine to immerse ourselves into the Word of God pursuing knowledge of Him, receiving it, believing it, and then doing it. The following passage alone should be sufficient to propel us into the Word of God.
2 Peter 1:2-4 (KJV)
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Lord willing, I will see you right back 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).
