SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUDGEMENT
Thursday – June 4, 2020, Sivan 12, 5780
Greetings dear and precious saints and welcome back to this powerful and instructive Bible Study of the Book of John. God is so good, and He is nothing but good. He does not have a dark side and does not instruct us with calamity of any type. Please take a moment to share these teachings as widely as possible. A few days ago, the Lord brought a phrase up in my thinking which was; the Power of God is not in the whoop and the holler. Sometimes in Pentecostal circles noise and motion are equated with the moving of the Holy Spirit and an expression of love for God. Neither is true. Most of the time it is emotion and an acting out of the traditions of men.
The Power of God flows when we speak and do the Words of God in faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Mark 16:19-20). The power of the devil(s), of the curse, is loosed in our lives when we don’t speak and do the Words of God in faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 28:14-68). God speaks in a still small voice and obedience to that voice changes us, others, and our surroundings (1 Kings 19:12). Why doesn’t the average Christian, and the Church as a whole exercise their God given authority to govern the earth, the world (Genesis 1:26, Jeremiah 1:10)? No teaching and therefore no faith! There is a failure to diligently study the Bible in the body of Christ, and see, receive, believe, and act upon what it actually says. Why is the Church impotent (weak, helpless, powerless)? There is no faith and no power! Where is the repentance? All I have seen with a few exceptions is Church as usual (albeit electronic) and rebellion. There is a rising remnant dear ones, decide to be a part of it and put faithlessness and powerlessness in the rearview mirror and do all the will of God. Once again, I direct your attention back to the Word the Lord gave me on the 15th of March. Follow this link.

Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text for our study of John.
John 16:7-11 (KJV)
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
As we move forward in our study, I will pick up with verse seven precious saints of God. Just think about what this verse is saying and what the numerology is saying. John is the fourth Book of the New Testament and means light as in illumination (spiritual), Anointed Word, as well as authority and power. Sixteen is the number of love (obedience to Scripture, selflessness, and Blood Covenant), and seven is a number of spiritual completion or perfection. Because Jesus came, went to the Cross, and was Resurrected on the third day (an act of love), illumination was brought into a dark world and we are now that illumination upon His ascension to Heaven. His sacrifice and Resurrection return the fullness of authority and power to mankind walking in the commandments of God, walking with God. Jesus was the person, the instrument to bring spiritual perfection, completion. Remember the Scripture, we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10). The verse (John 16:7) tells us exactly the same thing if one has studied and can therefore connect the dots. The Comforter did indeed come on the Day or Feast of Pentecost, some fifty (50) days after the Resurrection, a jubilee for sure, all things were set right by the Messiah.
The Comforter (our Comforter not the worlds, they don’t have a comforter but a tormentor) convicts the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement. As I hope we all know, the Holy Spirit convicts us all of sin, and makes us all to know that repentance is in order. However if we persist in following after the lusts of the flesh, we slowly but surely harden our hearts such that we are no longer aware of the sin in which we walk. Let me deal with something about sin now so that we can be clear and not get caught up in the grace movement that says anything and everything is just fine because all sin has been paid for. It is true all sin has been paid for and there remains no sin that sends one to Hell excepting the rejection of Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior.
John 3:18 (KJV)
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
At salvation we believe we are forgiven and receive that forgiveness. We confess the Lord Jesus with our mouth and believe that the Father has raised Him from the dead.
Romans 3:25 (KJV)
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
After salvation if we sin, we must confess that sin to our Lord and receive forgiveness and be washed clean by His precious Blood. Unconfessed sin in the believer may not keep us out of Heaven but it will sure keep us out of victory.
1 John 1:9 (KJV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We are cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. God is so good dear ones.
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).
