AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

SENT INTO THE WORLD
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to this powerful Bible Study of the Book of John. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible to expand the reach of the Truth. Tomorrow evening at 6 pm will be our second Wednesday evening Bible Study on Zoom. Prayerfully consider joining us, last week was wonderful. Contact me for the meeting id and password. God is so good to give us His Truth, the only Truth, there is no other Truth. I am writing this in mid-September and Donna is in the process of decorating our home for the fall. The featured picture today is of the decorations at our front entrance. We will see yet more of her handiwork tomorrow. We had hoped to have visited wonderful friends in Tennessee by now and even be headed to Texas later this year however, the Holy Spirit has not given us the go ahead for any of that travel. It is not that we are afraid of COVID-19 but we are listening to the Holy Spirit. We will obey the authorities who are protecting our health, we honor (value) others, wear our masks and social distance to avoid being an offense, and love our fellow man. Now, let’s turn our attention to our Bible Study and read the primary Bible text aloud, yes, out loud.
John 17:17-21 (KJV)
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Today let’s move our study into verse eighteen. Jesus tells us that the Father sent Him into the world and now He is sending them/us into the world. We are not to be a part of the world, we are not to compromise with the world, or get along with the world, we are to dominate in all seven spheres of influence. We dominate first in the spirit realm which then is reflected in the physical realm. We are not taking things away from people but from the evil spirits which dominate them. Since the Cross and the Resurrection our dominion (our authority) and the Blessing are ours as well as the assets of the whole earth (all of creation really). Our decrees in the spiritual realm transforms our physical realm. What ever the devil has, he has illegally. We the children of God, the sons and daughters of God, by the leadership of our King and the Holy Spirit are to dominate in all things. If Daniel and the Hebrews could be ten times better under the Old Covenant, how much better can we be? We are not to be a Christian brand of the world but distinctly different, far better, Heaven upon the earth (Deuteronomy 11).
In Christ Jesus we are returned to Eden, God’s original intent. We are to bring Eden, Heaven upon the earth, everywhere we go. Why have we been so slack? Lack of teaching, laziness, and unbelief. Most people do not actually believe what I have just written. Why have multiplied millions chosen a lesser Jesus, a lesser gospel, denying the authority, and denying the Power given the sons of God? Deceptions through the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons. As I noted above not many are good Berean’s.
Acts 17:11 (KJV)
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
2 Timothy 2:15-16 (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (Bold added)
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Jesus bought back the authority Adam surrendered to the Serpent on the Day of Sin and Death in the Garden of Eden. He also redeemed us from the curse and gave us back the Blessing, the Holy Spirit and Power. Jesus is heir of all things and we are joint-heirs (participants in common) with Him, so, all things are ours legally. In addition to having the authority, and the Power (Blessing) to possess all things in the earth we can dominate the spirit realm. Sometimes one might get the impression listening to modern preaching that there is some sort of struggle between God and the devil. The unnecessary struggle is between us and the devil because we don’t know who we are and what we have in Christ Jesus. All authority and all Power belong to God which He has delegated to us, His children, just as in the Garden. We have been returned to God’s original intent. This includes but is way beyond evangelistic efforts but it is the things/works Jesus did and the greater works which are spelled out in Isaiah sixty-one.
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).
