AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

THE GREATER THINGS – PART SIXTEEN
Greetings dear and precious saints of the Most High God and welcome back to this powerful, life changing Bible Study titled “The Greater Things”. Are we ready for the works Jesus did and the greater works or are we still playing with Tonka trucks and making mud pies in the dirt?
John 14:12 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Is this verse vague or open to some variant interpretation that leaves us alone to go back being like a little child with no responsibility to build the Kingdom? Long story short, NO! Let us present ourselves before the Throne in repentance for not seeing this as even possible, nor as a mandate given each of us from the Master. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible to increase the reach of this Ministry, the dissemination of the Truth.
I think all could agree, even the heathen and the most carnal of Christians, that we are in tumultuous times. The heathen are raging at the behest of the demonic forces that motive them thinking they have thrown off the restraints of the Church. We are witnesses to the unfolding of the most humiliating defeat of Satan and his minions since the Cross.
Romans 16:20 (AMP)
20 And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with you.
There is great fear and confusion across the land and unfortunately in the organized traditional Church but not in the rising remnant. God always has a remnant to set things right. Believe in the Lord your God and be established and believe His Prophets and prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20 b), be still, give God a place to work (Psalm 46:10, 83:1), and don’t change your confession in the face of any information from the devil (Romans 4:17-21). Remember without wavering, the authority of the believing Church (rising remnant) is far superior to the forces of darkness. Dear ones, awake, arise, and triumph in Jesus name, in faith, powered of love, led of the Holy Spirit. Get out of victim mode right now and rejoice in victor mode. Dear ones this is part of the greater works! Now, let’s turn our attention to the greater works Jesus commanded we do in John 14:12.
We the Church have an awesome mandate (responsibility) just loaded with overflowing benefits. These mandates in Christ Jesus are not hard, they are hard to do, even impossible, in the flesh without the Anointing. This is what Jesus says about the difficulty of what we are to do in the Kingdom.
Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
People who are busy, busy, and worn out are off doing their own thing, not the will of God. As some of you have heard me say many times, “if it is not easy and light it isn’t God”. Life is not to be focused on the day to day of the carnal life but we are to focus on spiritual Kingdom business.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
If we want to enjoy this life in a fullness that we have not yet experienced we must focus on the work of the Kingdom and His way of doing things. Then, and only then, will the natural things we are to enjoy in overflowing abundance come to us. I talk about love, agape, often because understanding it is essential to pleasing God. First it is obedience to the Word of God, not reluctantly but with joy. Second it is selflessness in our life. Third it is observance of Blood Covenant. Our love (agape) toward God and other people is not to be focused on what they can do for us but what we are to do for them. As I end for today meditate the following passage related to the works Jesus did and the greater works.
Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV)
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week. Love you all and there is nothing you can do about it.
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).
