I SPEAK NOT OF YOU ALL
Wednesday – October 16, 2019, Tishrei 17, 5780
Greetings friends, sons and daughters of the Father and kings in the Kingdom of God under the authority or Lordship of Christ Jesus. Each of us are freewill creations who by our own will subject ourselves to the will of God. God has never made anyone do anything and never will. Each of us choose our own course, it can be wonderous according to His will in the Kingdom or it can be disastrous going our own way. One may be thinking, well my life is not disastrous, what about when you compare it to what is possible in the perfect will of God?
John 10:10 (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Jesus did not come to give us poverty of any kind in this world or that which is to come, it is His covenant that we be wealthy (yes, in property and cash) and that we walk in supernatural health free of the curse. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment and hit the “love” and “share” buttons to partner with us in the spread of the gospel. The featured pictures this week are scenic shots from the Ocean Point area on the coast of Maine. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text for today.
John 13:18-22 (KJV)
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
The title today as most days comes from the text which I am teaching from. When Jesus speaks today is He speaking about you or me or is He speaking about others? We may want to look at this passage as only talking about Judas Iscariot but is that all we can take from the Master’s Words? I can’t speak for you but I want Him (Jesus, our Advocate) to be speaking about me to the Father, to the Holy Spirit, and to the ministering spirits (angels). Have we lifted up our heel to the Savior? Have we eaten bread with Jesus and then lifted our heel? Have we partaken of the Bread of life and then forsaken our Lord? Jesus is that Bread.
John 6:48-51 (KJV)
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Let us receive this Bread (Word of God) and consume it all, making it a vital part of us, doing all that we have light to do for the glory of God. As we think upon these things (have we raised our heel against Him) lets each of us carefully meditate upon the following passage from Hebrews.
Hebrews 6:4-8 (KJV)
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
The rain is the Word of God, the Seed, and brings forth wonderful things, blessing from God when received, believed, and kept in the midst of our hearts. As I look at my life, I must ask myself if I am bringing “forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God”. Or on the other hand am I bringing forth thorns and briers and in danger of rejection and being burned? Dear brothers and sisters the end is near let us be circumspect (cautious, prudent, careful, guarded, wary, judicious, and vigilant) and do without hesitation all the will 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!
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).
