BIBLE NUMEROLOGY
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to The Three Minute Word blog. Prepare for a deep dive this week. May our God richly bless you in your faithfulness. We appreciate and love those who partner with this Ministry. A partner studies the materials from this Ministry, prays for the Ministry, and financially supports the Ministry. We are always accepting new partners as the Lord so leads you to join with us financially. We also love and appreciate those who are friends of this Ministry meaning that they utilize our materials and pray for the Ministry. Before I move forward, I want to invite you to share this material as widely as possible to extend our reach with the Truth. Now, let’s move forward and read our primary Bible text aloud, yes, out loud.
John 21:9-11 (KJV)
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
Wow, we are almost to the end of this wonderful Book of John. This is the 21st chapter, and this chapter has 25 verses. It is interesting that 21 represents exceeding great sin, and 25 represents the forgiveness of sin. The whole reason Jesus came was to destroy the works of the devil, and give us an abundant life, by dealing with the sin problem. In dealing with the sin problem Jesus was able to restore full dominion (authority) and return the Blessing to the earth, to all Covenant peoples. Interestingly enough this Book of John is the 4th Book of the New Testament and 4 represents light, authority, and power. Jesus was that light that came restoring authority over all the earth, and restoring unbounded Power to all who will enter this Blood Covenant. You would think I would be used to it by now, but I am always amazed and in awe as to how the Lord puts all things together.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text. We are several days past the Crucifixion and Resurrection and are witness to Jesus’ third appearance to His disciples. These are the men who scattered when He surrendered to the Cross, and hide in fear, and even now remain in confusion. These are the men who very shortly will be observed to have turned the world upside down. What enabled this? The coming of the Holy Spirit. At salvation the Holy Spirit quickens or makes alive our spirit man and redeems our body. However, we are really not fully equipped for effective ministry until we are filled with the Holy Spirit and Power. Consider the following three verses.
Acts 1:4-8 (KJV)
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
It seems to me that the Head of the Church makes it very clear that although saved they were not to budge until they received the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:38 (KJV)
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Jesus emptied Himself of what made Him God and operated as an Anointed man in the earth and we are to do likewise.
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.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (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 your Bible Teacher and a Prophetic Voice in your life 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!
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).
