AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

I LOVE WITH THE SAME LOVE AS THE FATHER
Greetings to all who are reading this blog and welcome back to this powerful Bible Study of the Book of John. Another month is almost gone, let us determine more than ever to redeem the time (make the best use of our time). Let us ask ourselves, where am I wasting time and resources? Before we dive fully into todays teaching please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible. Each of us have a responsibility to share the Truth. The featured picture today is courtesy of Pastor Tom DuPerry taken of Donna and me at Smalls Falls near Rangeley Maine a couple of months ago on a very pleasant day trip. As you know Election Day, the 3rd of November is but a few days away. I strongly encourage everyone to vote, it is a civic and spiritual duty, a stewardship responsibility. Please take the time to look at the Republican and Democrat Party platforms. Each respective document is the agenda of that party and every member of that party. Please resist reacting emotionally, carnally, to President Trump. Let us put on our spiritual eyes, perceptions, and recognize the Biblical agenda he and Vice President Pence promote. His work concerning Supreme Court nominations alone, including the nomination of Amy Coney Barrette, sets him apart as a man deserving unwavering support. Please understand that the murder of the unborn (of anyone) is not of God, perverted sex (the acts not the people) is an abomination to God and us, and socialism is antithetical to Scripture. God is the Father of Free Enterprise. 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.
Our Heavenly Father is right in all He does and says and He is just beyond any comparison. The world chooses darkness and therefore does not know our God only the god of this world. The god of this world in the end only brings stealing, killing, destroying, and finally Hell fire. Our God, the God of Heaven and earth, brings only the Blessing, only abundance in all things and a home in Heaven. Today it is baffling to me why one would reject God but there was a time when I rejected Him for many years. Oh, how foolish, but I am so thankful for the mercy of God and His ear giving attention to those praying for me.
Do people know that we are sent of God? How are they to know?
John 13:34-35 (KJV)
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
This love is the Greek word transliterated as agape. The God level, kind of love, and yes, we have full capacity for this same love. Remember, this is not fuzzy wuzzy emotional affection or lust but obedience to Scripture, selflessness, and adherence to Blood Covenant.
Mark 16:19-20 (KJV)
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Is this going on at your Church, my Church, your house, my house, our everyday life?
1 Corinthians 4:19-20 (KJV)
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Can we say like the Apostle Paul that when we come, we will have way more than words alone but the Power of God and He will be in full manifestation? I’m not talking about hollering, jumping, and running around but the manifestations of the miraculous, only those things that God can do through us. Again, do others know we are sent of the only living God?
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week.
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).
