For He Has Risen As He Said!
For He Has Risen As He Said!
John 1:1 “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14 “14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Jesus, The Function of The Word of God! Became many functions, so that you and I can have peace while we are in it! Left Who He Is, to become me in the earth; for 3 years, He operated in many functions, making The Way - Showing me that I too can operate for a moment in those functions, but I need not to remain in those, because That Is Not Who I Was Formed To Be!
I Am created to have Power Over That! Regardless of the impending(s) - I know that I am Revelation 12:11 “11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”
Of course, there is no text needed, sermon required, The Message of The Cross and The Power of Christ being raised from the dead, is enough! All I need to do is confess Romans 10:6–13 “6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
John 10:10 “10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Although the enemy will come, he does not come to bring peace - healing, or deliverance, the intent was to steal, to kill and to destroy, anything under those categories is from the enemy - the enemy tried - But it did not work!
The thief has no understanding of how to operate as a door - The Good Shepherd loves, He allows the people to gain knowledge of who they are in Him, which takes away the fear of going in and out!
The thief wants to subject you to stronghold you into doing what is contrary to your ordained purpose, causing many to remain stagnant in their walk and talk !
You have to remember, Jesus was considered blasphemous because He did not talk nor walk like they desired Him to, according to the law! But Jesus came with a New Way - His desire was to move your thinking away from the physical, and seek after those Spiritual Things!
Jesus redeemed us all so that we will have an understanding of knowing how to return to who God created us to be! Last week, God told us that “I Have Power Over That!” which I now realize how He said in John 2:19 “19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.””
They were confused when He said this, because their thinking was enamored in practicalities, therefore, they could not see pass their natural sight, which is why Jesus turn the tables in the temple over, not because He was upset, but only becasue He was wanting to align their sights up with The Kingdom!
The reason you continue to experience those things that you claim to not have power over is because your perspective of them is improperly placed, thus the reason you are weakened by that, because you have allowed that to become your god and you listen to that more than The Word of God!
John 10:10 “10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
The Giver of Life came, and He brought with Him, an abundance of life! God knows what you are enduring, He sees all those things that have befallen upon you, but why do you call on those things and not His Word? Proverbs 18:21 “21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Romans 4:17 “17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;”
Whatever you allow to come out of your mouth, as a matter of fact, whatever you allow to change your countenance from the inside, is what will manifest in the natural - Some of you don’t have to speak, just your disposition says enough - (Remember Nehemiah & Adam) - Why are you allowing the carnal mind to move you out of position?
Remain in the posture and obedience to God, regardless what comes at you, or what has befallen upon you, let nothing separate you from knowing that God Loves you in spite of you!
He told me to tell you that you are overstaying your presences in the functions of the world - Return to me and I will show you that I have never left you, I am always here!
I sent My Only Begotten Son as: Rabbi, Prophet, Son, Shepherd, Healer, Miracle Worker, Deliverer, Propitiation, Savior - But when I raised Him from The Dead, Once and for all - He returned to Me as King, seated at My Right Hand, as you in My Kingdom!
Jesus has given you The Power Over That - Do not return to that, it is vomit and it is worse than it was - The reason Jesus demonstrated cleansing the temple, was not for the physical building, but guiding us to an obedience that is everlasting! The water turned into wine because the did what He said, as His Mother told them to do. . . All He did was gave them instructions, and because they did it, the first miracle was performed!
He gave them more instructions, but because they did not heed His Word, they had to miss the visitation of Him!
But because we believed that God raised Him from the dead and He is Alpha and Omega - He is everlasting to everlasting! He has conquered death hell and the grave - given us The Victory!
1 Corinthians 15:55–57 “55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 4:10 “10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)” Before He Rose, there was some “Kingdom Keeping” He had to get straightened out, He had to take back what the enemy thought he took!
The title came at the end because God gave me instructions and told me to encourage you, and He said, with these words, if you give Him The Glory He deserves, you will be quickened by your Testimony: “I Am Forever Grateful, It Is Not What It Was Supposed To Be!”
It was supposed to be the end. . . But He Rose!
I was supposed to have died on my way here. . . But He Rose!
It was supposed to be cancer. . . But He Rose!
I was supposed to fall down to never get back up. . . But He Rose!
