AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH
Tuesday – December 8, 2020, Kislev 22, 5781
THE JUDGEMENT HALL
Greetings dear and precious sons and daughters of the Most High God who obey Him with great joy and rejoicing. Please take a few moments and share this message of the Kingdom, this message of hope, this message of Truth as widely as possible. The featured picture today is of the snow and one of God’s beautiful creatures in our backyard last year. I think that most people would agree that we are indeed in very challenging times and are sorely tempted to lose or abandon our faith. There are true and false prophets in the earth, in the United States. We must never come into a position where we disregard or think little of (despise) God’s true prophets. Listen to Jesus.
John 5:23 (KJV)
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
We are now sons (little s) of God and when we are not honored then neither is God honored. When we don’t honor the one sent, we also are not honoring the sender, God.
1 Samuel 2:30 (KJV)
30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. (Bold added)
Never forget!
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Now, let’s turn our attention to today’s teaching. We will start by reading it aloud, yes, out loud.
John 19:7-11 (KJV)
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
Jesus, the Messiah, is moments from going to the Cross, however, the payment for our sins has already begun.
Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Jesus has been whipped, a crown of thorns placed on His head, He has been humiliated, slapped, and scorned. I suspect that all of this is difficult to image for most of us but this happened. In the end this is how Scripture describes Jesus on the Cross.
Isaiah 52:14 (KJV)
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Back to our primary text. We find Pilate asking Jesus where He is from, pursuing the charge that He was the Son of God. “But Jesus gave him no answer.” Why didn’t He answer? The Father did not give Him the answer. Would you and I have given an answer without checking the inner witness? I suspect so. Do we have to, no. It is the devils that push us to answer when we have not heard the answer from our Heavenly Father. Is it possible for us to follow after the example of Jesus? Yes, it is and it is critical to our doing the things He did and the greater works.
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.
If we are to get the same results as Jesus, do we suppose that we will have to do it the way He did it? He did it as a man in faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit just as we are to function. Meditate these verses.
John 5:19 (KJV)
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 14:10 (KJV)
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
We are now sons of God, put your name in these verses, this is who we are and what we are to do. 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).
