THAT THEY MAY BE ONE
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to this enlightening and powerful Bible Study of the Book of John. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible. Hope you enjoy the fall pictures this week. God is so very good to give us His Word so that being in His family, His Kingdom is not guesswork. What are we doing with His Word? How long will we be slack? Let us choose to be like Caleb and fully occupy our Promised Land purchased by the precious Blood of Jesus.
Numbers 13:30-32 (KJV)
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
How long will we choose to bring evil reports to ourselves, to each other, to the Church, and even to the world? How long will we not receive, believe, think, speak, and act upon the Word of God? Are we going to continue to preach how wonderful the promises (really present realities by faith) of God are but then put them off into the sweet bye and bye?
Numbers 13:27-29 (KJV)
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
They started off as witness of the God report of the Lord but then looked not to the Word of God but natural appearances and gave an evil report. Let us abandon our evil reports and choose the reports of the Lord.
Isaiah 53:1 (KJV)
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
The Arm (capitalized due to the divine person of the Holy Spirit) of the Lord is revealed to those who believe! Now let’s turn our attention to our study of the Book of John and read the text aloud, yes, out loud.
John 17:20-23 (KJV)
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.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Jesus is in the last few hours of His Ministry in the earth as a man before surrendering to the Cross, His primary mission in the earth. God is so good dear saints to send a Savior, He did not need one but we needed one desperately. As we know from Scripture, God is love (1 John 4:8), and His coming is an unmatched expression of love (agape). Love is obedience to Scripture and He came just as it was prophesied that He would, the Messiah. His coming was selfless, entirely for us. Third He can in Blood Covenant through Abraham. What a Father, what a Savior, and what a Holy Spirit empowering it all. In our text we find Jesus (the Word) talking (praying) with the Father for our sakes. In verse twenty we see that believing on Him through the Word is key to that which follows. This is how faith comes.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Everything for the Kingdom is done by faith, faith in God, nothing moves in the Kingdom of God without genuine faith and it comes only by hearing the Anointed Word of God. The word “word” in the Romans 10:17 text is ‘rhema’ meaning a pouring forth of the living Word. There is only one source of life and that is God, specifically the Holy Spirit, the Anointing, and thus we can be enlightened, receive light and walk in it. In this way we can be one with Jesus who is one with the Father and we are one with each other (one body) in them.
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).
