CLEANSED BY HIS BLOOD
Wednesday – April 29, 2020, Iyar 5, 5780
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to this powerful and course correcting study of the Bible Book of John. God is so good to give us His Word, a roadmap for a life, life just as He (God) enjoys life. One might say, Dr. Wood that just isn’t possible in this curse filled, devil filled world. Well according to the Scripture it is not only possible but our Heavenly Father fully expects us to live in that place. This is done by strict adherence to the Word of God and not an on again off again approach. We can walk with overflowing wealth and health as well as a wall of impenetrable protection. Jesus walked in all of this before the Cross, under the Old Covenant, and told us to do as He did and even greater things. What in the world is our excuse? If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to expand the reach of this Ministry. I hope you enjoy the pictures this week. Today is of a dove coming in for a drink at one of several tanks on the ranch we owned in Texas. This always reminds me of the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus in the River Jordan in the form of a dove.
I am writing this on the 30th of March and by the time you read this on the 29th of April this pestilence will be waning but not gone. However, if we have not repented and seen repentance in our Church and in the land we must not have a false confidence that somehow all of our prayers chased this coronavirus away. Unrepented sin leaves us vulnerable to our spiritual enemies. We know sin is present when stealing, killing, and destroying is present. In the absence of sin, the enemy has no legal claim to us or our stuff. When this pestilence wanes and goes out of sight, if there has not been a widespread repentance in the Church first, then in the nation, we are simply seeing a natural cycle. The next pestilence will be of greater intensity (sicker, and more deadly). We as individuals and even Churches who have repented (even if we were not yet sure what of) with a whole heart, can have absolute protection with the leadership of the Holy Spirit and by not tempting God (which is sin).
For the last several months the Lord has had me to pray in a certain way concerning those on my prayer list, in my sphere of influence. 1. First, He has had me to pray for a rising hunger for the Truth in me, in all those for whom I pray, and in the Church at large. 2. Second, I am praying for an increasing clarity of sight and thought not just for Donna and me but all on my prayer list, as well as the greater Church. 3. Third, I am praying for a cleansing fire (Holy Spirit) to remove all the lies of the enemy when we identify them, repent, and change our thinking. 4. Fourth, the Lord has assured me that when this is done in our individual lives there will be a billowing glory (goodness of God) shown forth from us as individuals and in the Churches, who have repented (heartfelt with the accompanying 180-degree change). Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible Text from the Book of John reading it aloud, yes aloud.
John 15:22-25 (KJV)
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
I will now continue talking, teaching, about verse twenty-two in our primary text. The ruling religious leaders had a cloke, covering, for their sin until Jesus came and confronted them, then they were without excuse. The same is going on now, I am not the only one confronting the ruling class (talking about Church leadership). Continue to pray for an awaking followed by revival in the leadership of our Churches. God is going to get all of His will done. The question is this, are we individually and as individual churches going to be part of the problem or part of the solution? I for one want to be a part of the solution. I for one want to be a part of the rising remnant that God has in this nation and in the earth. The Church in repentance can either burst forth with the remnant or be left behind and then be a persecutor of the remnant. The remnant will do the things Jesus did and will do the greater things all for the glory of God. This will cause envy in the organized Church which is exactly the sin that caused the religious rulers of His day to put Jesus on the Cross. This rising remnant is a frustrated group of people who are ready and willing to push God’s agenda forward but have been held back by the mercy and patience of God with the Church. However, now, God is in the process of releasing this remnant with the fulness of His Power.
John 3:34 (KJV)
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
John 3:34 (PassionNTPsa)
34 “The One whom God has sent to represent him will speak the words of God, for God has poured out upon him the fullness of the Holy Spirit without limitation. The Father loves his Son so much that all things have been given into his hands. Those who trust in the Son possess eternal life; but those who don’t obey the Son will not see life, and God’s anger will rise up against them.”
Have you been seeing the Spirit of God operating through people in your Church, operating without measure? If not, why not? Based on this one Scripture alone, the bottom line is, they are not speaking the words of God.
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).
