AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

PETER AND JOHN FOLLOW JESUS
Greetings dear and precious saints of God, friends and partners. Those of you who are friends and believe the Lord is calling you to be partners with us financially, we invite you as well. This Ministry is growing and you can be a vital part of that growth to bring the good news, the Truth to the lost and to our brothers and sisters in darkness. Your seed sown into this Ministry will not just increase our capacity but if sown in faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit will bring a great harvest into your life. The featured picture today is from a recent leaf peeping, covered bridge peeping day out with precious friends. The covered bridge shown is Low’s in Guilford Maine. Fall is so beautiful here in Maine.
Please be aware that this is Veterans Day, a day when we commemorate the service of everyone who has honorably served this country in the United States military. Today is also the 400th anniversary of the signing of the Mayflower Compact before establishing the colony at Plymouth Rock. This compact, contract, Covenant, among themselves and God in part stated; “Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith,”. We are the second and only other Covenant nation with God, the first being Israel, as demonstrated by this document and many others in the founding of this nation and the fifty states.
Don’t forget to attend the anointed and powerful Wednesday evening Bible Study on Zoom at 6 pm eastern time. If you don’t have the meeting id and password please contact me. Before we dive into our Book of John Study, I believe the Lord would have me once again share the following verse with you.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
There is a false assumption that where ever one might attend Church, that only the Truth is being declared. That is far from the truth for in many places the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons are taught as the Truth. We see God’s people being destroyed in various ways on every side so what can we conclude? So, we have to ask ourselves, is the knowledge I have, and am currently receiving the Truth or a lie. Let us humbly determine that we will examine every word we hear with the inner witness filter and the Holy Scripture filter. Don’t receive unholy, lying seeds.
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.
What is going on in your home (in your thoughts and words) and in your Church with regard to the election? Are you preparing for a Biden administration or a President Trump administration with Vice-President Pence to follow? If you believe the former repent, if the latter rejoice. Remember the Word of the Lord I brought to you from the 8th of November. The Lord said: “Trust God and His Prophets”, “Be still”, and ” Don;t change your confession”. The Lord said on the morning of the 10th that: “What you will witness in the coming days is like when one turns a rock or old lumber over in the yard, and there are all sorts of disgusting things which come to light”. Dear ones we are in a great fight for our nation which we (the rising remnant) win. Our fight is always against the unseen evil personalities whether it is governmental figures, the mother-in-law, or a five year old child.
Now let’s turn our attention to our Bible text in the Book of John and read it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 18:15-18 (KJV)
15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not.
18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
You will recall that Jesus had prophesied to Peter specifically that he would deny even knowing Jesus and that they would all flee. Jesus is addressing Peter in the following verse.
Mark 14:30 (KJV)
30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Have we denied the Savior in one way or another at times, perhaps with silence? Remember, Jesus and the Word of God are inseparable. Denying (failing to believe) or rejecting any part of the Word of God is denying and rejecting Him. Perhaps one chooses not to believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues. Perhaps one chooses not to believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their operation in the local Church and body of Christ. Perhaps one chooses not to believe in the existence and operation of the Five-Fold Ministry in the local and regional Church. Perhaps we don’t believe in earthly prosperity as well as spiritual. Perhaps we don’t believe that we can have health in the earth and that we don’t have to die with a disease. Back to our text. Scripture records that the Apostle Peter cursed, became very angry at being associated with Jesus.
Mark 14:71 (KJV)
71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
I have seen people become extraordinarily angry in denying the existence of the Truths I listed above. This is a denial of Christ. Let’s repent, trash the traditions of men, the doctrines of demons and embrace the whole counsel of God. Many in the organized traditional Church have devised fables to explain their own failures. It should not be. 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).
