AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

I HAVE KNOWN THEE
Greetings to all who are reading this blog and welcome back to this powerful Bible Study of the Book of John. Before we dive fully into todays teaching please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible. Be reminded of the Wednesday Night Bible Study at 6 pm eastern time on Zoom. If you need the meeting id and password contact us. These meetings have been powerful, come expecting. Expect to receive whatever is needed by faith. Each of us have a responsibility to share the Truth. Yes, even you. The featured picture today is courtesy of a regular reader, an honorable man, a distinguished police officer, and friend of mine in Texas. As you know it is less than a week to Election Day, the 3rd of November. I strongly encourage everyone to vote, it is our civic and spiritual duty. I hope you have taken the time to look at the Republican and Democrat Party platforms and have not been gobbling up the endless commercials. Also, I certainly hope none of us are reacting emotionally, carnally, to President Trump but that we are reacting spiritually recognizing the Biblical agenda he and Vice President Pence promote.
His work concerning Supreme Court nominations alone sets him apart as a man deserving unwavering support. The nomination of Justice Amy Barrett is a major stroke for justice for all peoples including the unborn persons in the wombs of their mother’s. The carnage of the unborn in America has not gone without God’s attention. How long will justice for innocent blood be withheld? There must come a national repentance starting in the Church. The judgment for this carnage will start in the Church. COVID-19 is a shot across the bow but is small potatoes compared to what is to come without repentance. Unfortunately, we have not seen any softening or repentance in the organized traditional Church at large. Like the Prophets of old we must continue to proclaim the warning even when it is futile. They will be without excuse when they face the Judge of all. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text reading it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 17:25-26 (KJV)
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
John 18:1-2 (KJV)
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
Can each of us like Jesus said, “I have known thee”? If you cannot say this, change that right now. Hell is not a destination anyone should choose. Give your heart to the Lord, your whole heart, call upon Him.
Romans 10:13 (KJV)
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Like many others I had too many wasted years in sin. O but our God is full of mercy! I am so thankful for all the intercessors down through my life to the point of my salvation. I am thankful for the intercessors since salvation. We desperately need these people in our lives. The Lord wants us to pray one for another.
1 Timothy 2:1 (KJV)
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
Those of you reading this who are led of the Holy Spirit please commit to intercede for Donna and me personally and for this Ministry. Our battles are not against flesh and blood but demonic spirits.
Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Scripture tells us that if we resist the Devil, he will flee from us. Pray in the Holy Spirit and pray with the understanding that we recognize the wiles of our spiritual enemies a long ways off and resist causing him to flee. We should suffer no defeats only experience victory already bought by the Lord Christ Jesus at Calvary and beyond.
James 4:6-8 (KJV)
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
We have received this gospel of the Kingdom of God and are committed to walking in the full authority and Power given back to those in Christ Jesus. This is full authority and Power in Heaven and in earth according to the will of God, by faith, in love, and led of the Holy Spirit. Let us say like Jesus, “I have known thee” and like Jesus thirst after our Father, our Jesus (Savior), and the work of the Holy Spirit through us.
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 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).
