AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

HE SHALL GLORIFY ME
Greetings dear and precious people of God 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 south Texas. This picture was taken by a very good friend, a very good man, and police officer. This tranquil scene is in sharp contrast to the turmoil that is ongoing in our nation as I write this (1 June). Once again, I am reminded of Psalm two (suggest you study the whole chapter in various translations).
Psalm 2:1 (KJV)
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The devil(s) have their people all riled up and have gotten many in the Church to join with them. They all by the deceptions of the devil(s) imagine a vain or useless things much like Lucifer when he imagined a vain thing. It is vain or useless because it is of darkness and the Prophets have spoken the will of God into the earth and light is about to burst forth from The Rising Remnant and turn the world upside down.
All that is happening has been and 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. Unfortunately, but by their own choice the traditional Church is in gross darkness. There is a rising remnant that 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. This group, like the group Jesus led and exploded in numbers in the Book of Acts will shepherd a great awakening, revival, and turn the world upside down as did they (Acts 17:6). As it was at the beginning of the Church so it will be at the Catching Away. Then the end will come with the traditional Church unfortunately remaining 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 be doers of the things Jesus did and the greater things (John 14:12). 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.
Jesus is in the final hours of His earthly ministry and the devils bell is about to be rung. Dear ones the devils bell has been rung; he is a defeated foe. Jesus took the keys of Hell and death and they are now ours as well. The authority (dominion) handed to the devil by Adam and Eve was reclaimed by Jesus and now is ours in Him, and by His delegation as in the beginning (Genesis 1:26, Matthew 28:18-20). Everything in the earth belongs to the children of God in Christ Jesus. We are joint-heirs with Christ (God) meaning we are participants in common with Him of all things spiritual and physical (all of us need to let that sink in). We have all and surpassing authority over all created things (names) in the earth in Him.
Ephesians 1:20-23 (KJV)
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 2:6 (KJV)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
We, each as a member of the body of Christ, are in the same position as Christ, at the right hand of the Father, far above all powers and names. This idea of being far above is not like 100 feet above but like a million miles above. I think it is commonly inferred that the preceding Scripture is referring to evil spirits but it is talking about all spirits and named things be they good or bad. These are things that the Spirit of Truth taught the Apostle Paul and is now teaching us. Jesus said He, the Spirit of Truth, would lead us into ALL the Truth. Like all other things, how much Truth we pursue, receive, believe, and do is 100% our call. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will not point to Himself, but always to Jesus, the Word. The Holy Spirit is not a loose canon no more than Jesus was a loose canon meaning He will speak only what He hears Heaven (the Father) saying. Remember, this is exactly how Jesus operated. What about you and me? Is repentance in order? We are also told by the Master that the Spirit of Truth will tell us of things to come. Scripture tells us that we have not for we ask not (James 4:2). Have we asked God about the future? How long will we be slack?
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).
