STUDENT of POWER

 

Jeremiah 32:17

King James Version

17 Ah Lord God! 

behold, 

thou hast made the heaven and the earth 

by thy great power and stretched out arm, 

and there is nothing too hard for thee:

Would you know power if you saw it?

I had no idea it was POWER I was seeking.

Not for myself.

But to know the SOURCE of ALL POWER.

That I might know ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

That I might believe in something real.

That I may share something real with you.

Of course, I've always known it was GOD.

But I had no idea how to know His TRUTH.

I had not read the Bible then.

GOD took pity on this searching heart, and finally revealed who HE was.

THROUGH SCRIPTURE.

Through His SON.

And through His SPIRIT.

And here's what was revealed:

There is no power, but GOD.

And He wrought it all in CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:17-23

King James Version

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of glory, 

may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation 

in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; 

that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, 

and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance 

in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power 

to us-ward who believe, 

according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, 

when he raised him from the dead, 

and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, 

and power, 

and might, 

and dominion, 

and every name that is named, 

not only in this world, 

but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, 

and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, 

the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

As born again the past 30 months, SPIRIT opened my eyes to the MAGNIFICENCE, and MAJESTY of GOD.

And I am in TOTAL AWE.

I could not write enough blogs and posts to testify of it.

I could not share enough discoveries with you.

The articles literally spill out of my heart and spirit each day.

This lifetime is not enough for me to understand all the TREASURES of the BIBLE.

EVERY verse is a treasure.

To have an idea the MAGNIFICENCE of the LORD, listen to what apostle John said about the accomplishments of JESUS:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, 

the which, 

if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books that should be written. 

Amen.

Has that sunk in yet?

I only BELIEVE in the LORD JESUS.

I only ADORE GOD.

I only LISTEN to SPIRIT.

What power have you bought into?

More LESSONS on the RESURRECTION

 

The GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST:

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first 

of all that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

The Holy Spirit is always precise.

He led me to more understanding about the Lord's resurrection today.

Here's what He taught me, at 3:33 this morning.

He led me to the number 3.

So I reviewed my book on Vallowe's Scripture Numerics, and found the number 3 referred to the "RESURRECTION, DIVINE COMPLETENESS and PERFECTION".

The resurrection of Christ was also compared to -- yes, THREE -- instances:

1. On the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Matthew 12: 39-40 

King James Version

39 But he answered and said unto them, 

An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; 

and there shall no sign be given to it, 

but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights 

in the whale's belly; 

so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights 

in the heart of the earth.

2. On the restoration of Israel:

Hosea 6:1-2 

King James Version

6 Come, 

and let us return unto the Lord: 

for he hath torn, 

and he will heal us; 

he hath smitten, 

and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: 

in the third day he will raise us up, 

and we shall live in his sight.

3. On the temple of His body:

John 2:20-21 

King James Version

20 Then said the Jews, 

Forty and six years was this temple in building,

 and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

All referred to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus on the THIRD day.

Of course, there are many more implications of the number 3.

But that will be for future posts.

When you're a student of Spirit, you will marvel at the richness of the Bible.

With the richness of the world, paling greatly in comparison.

Only by being born again -- what Jesus calls "born of water and of the Spirit" -- can we understand things of the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:14 

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

The world will have many versions of what they think Scripture is.

And their interpretation of it.

But like I always say, I approach God like a little child.

Knowing nothing, wanting to know EVERYTHING of Him.

Only the Holy Spirit can direct us accurately.

For He is the teacher of all things.

Jesus did say:

John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

If you really wish to know Jesus, you must be born again.

It was His command.

The Day JESUS was GLORIFIED

 

JESUS said:

John 16:5 

King James Version

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; 

and none of you asketh me, 

Whither goest thou?

God is the MASTER of PRECISION, and EFFICIENCY.

The day Jesus went back to heaven, was the day the Holy Spirit was given to man.

Can you see the precision of it?

There was no gap in the giving.

But Jesus blessed His apostles first.

Luke 24:50-53 

King James Version

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, 

and he lifted up his hands, 

and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, 

while he blessed them, 

he was parted from them, 

and carried up into heaven.

He was also clear why he had to "go away".

John 16:7 

King James Version

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.

But He promised us "another Comforter".

John 14:16-17 

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

From which, these things are to be expected:

John 16:8-15 

King James Version

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.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth:

 for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath 

are mine: 

therefore said I, 

that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

We were not left orphaned.

That's how merciful God is.

The LORD JESUS assured us:

John 14:18 

King James Version

18 I will not leave you comfortless: 

I will come to you.

Now, we have the Holy Spirit to guide us, each time.

All it takes, is a prayer, to know God's will -- through Jesus.

And the Holy Spirit will give you the answer.

The GRAVE Disservice TRANSFORMED

 

John 11:25-26

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this?

How little we know, of the mysteries of CHRIST!

And of the grave disservice given Him.

Which He literally carried to His grave -- to a point.

Of how they called the Lord, the deceiver, upon His death.

Matthew 27:62-63 

King James Version

62 Now the next day, 

that followed the day of the preparation, 

the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, 

Sir, 

we remember that that deceiver said, 

while he was yet alive, 

After three days I will rise again.

And of how Pilate became uncertain, and afraid, lest he suffer public disgrace.

Matthew 27:64 

King James Version

64 Command therefore 

that the sepulchre be made sure 

until the third day, 

lest his disciples come by night, 

and steal him away, 

and say unto the people, 

He is risen from the dead: 

so the last error 

shall be worse than the first.

And of how he took extra precautions.

Matthew 27:65-66 

King James Version

65 Pilate said unto them, 

Ye have a watch: 

go your way, 

make it as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, 

and made the sepulchre sure, 

sealing the stone, 

and setting a watch.

And of how Jesus fulfilled Scripture anyway.

Matthew 28:1-7 

King James Version

28 In the end of the sabbath, 

as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, 

came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, 

behold, 

there was a great earthquake: 

for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, 

and came and rolled back the stone from the door, 

and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, 

and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, 

and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, 

Fear not ye: 

for I know that ye seek Jesus, 

which was crucified.

6 He is not here: 

for he is risen, 

as he said. 

Come, 

see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, 

and tell his disciples 

that he is risen from the dead;

 and, 

behold, 

he goeth before you into Galilee; 

there shall ye see him: 

lo, 

I have told you.

And exactly as the angel announced, they met the Lord.

Matthew 28:9 

King James Version

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, 

behold, 

Jesus met them, 

saying, 

All hail. 

And they came and held him by the feet, 

and worshipped him.

The Resurrection of Jesus simply shows He is our one, true HOPE.

He has set the pattern for us.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 

King James Version

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, 

brethren, 

concerning them which are asleep, 

that ye sorrow not, 

even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 

even so them also which sleep in Jesus 

will God bring with him.

How little we really know of Christ.

Unless, and until we become born again.

Then, the Spirit of God will complete our education.

Unless Jesus died, He cannot be resurrected.

What man designed as a grave disservice to the Lord, the Lord merely used to REVEAL His power over death, and the devil -- transforming us all, and giving hope, where there is hope.

Hebrews 2:14 

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death 

he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

Spirit also led me to these two videos yesterday.

Know the difference between man-made creation, and God-given knowledge.

On Easter, calendars, Sabbath, and testifying verses.

It's time we all came to know the TRUTH of the LORD.

NOTE: Much has been written about Easter, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I waited for the Holy Spirit to tell me what to write.

I needed a legitimate handle on the Resurrection, in a way that pleased the Lord.

This article is the result of such waiting.
