HOW DID HE GET IN?
Greetings dear and precious friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. Welcome back to this wonderful study of the Bible Book of John. This would be a good time for you to go ahead and share this teaching as widely as possible to expand our reach of the Truth. This year is rushing by and for us in Maine Spring seems to be almost in our grasp, but we have another full month before we should get really excited. It has been quite the ride since the 3rd of November 2020, much has happened and much remains. Let us not turn loose of our faith, the Witness in our heart, nor should we stop believing the Prophets. The featured picture today is to depict (portray) Jesus appearance to His disciples later the same day, Resurrection Day, after His appearance to Mary Magdalene. Now let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text and read it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 20:17-19 (KJV)
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Yesterday I left off with the question about how Jesus entered the room. Should we assume that He knocked, someone unlocked the door, let Him in, and He then stood in the midst of them? Our text really does not support a natural entry but supports that suddenly He was seen in the midst of them, a supernatural entry. Review again this nineteenth verse in the New Living Translation.
John 20:19 (NLT)
19 That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said.
This did not happen by any classical physics laws I am aware of but falls more into the quantum physics realm. The spiritual realm is very solid to the spiritual body. For example, people are walking around on the streets of Heaven, and not just floating here there and everywhere. On the other hand, the physical realm provides no obstacles to the spirit man, angels, or demons. So angelic and demonic personalities can enter our cars and homes etc. unimpeded. That is to say they do not have to enter by way of doors or windows. The physical body on the other hand must go through open doors and so on. Since Jesus had that day and this day a solid flesh and bone body albeit immortal (glorified) how did He get in?
Luke 24:36-40 (KJV)
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
Without becoming unduly technical, in quantum physics all matter (physical matter – realm) can exist in wave or particle form. In the wave form it can easily pass through solid physical objects but cannot in the particle form. Your body as you sit there reading this is in particle form and we are not aware of how to transform to wave form. However, if Jesus did it, can we do it? Is there another example in Scripture of this?
Acts 8:39-40 (KJV)
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Has this ever happened to you? Why is this not a common occurrence in the body of Christ? It is all about faith.
Lord willing, I will pick up right 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 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).
