YOU MUST Chose To Work Gods’ Power and Provisions

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

    I chose this title, because it’s the truth.  Only YOU can choose the power and provisions God will work through you.     

     In John 17:20-22 Jesus spoke these words; and I believe it’s His ultimate desire for us to hear.  “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who WILL believe in Me through their word; (21) that they all may be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  (22) And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:”

     If you make this personal, with Jesus speaking directly to you, it would read like this: “I, Jesus do not pray for only those around me now, but for anyone who’s actions, through My Word WILL speak and act on, that they may be one, just as Abba and I are one.  Abba, the glory you’ve given Me, I have given to them, that they may be one in the unity of the Spirit as we are.” (paraphrased)

     John wrote, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit “that it’s His desire for us to spiritually hear.” He desires us to be in unity, as Abba and Jesus are one.  To do that, we must show our belief [faith] through our insight [knowledge & actions] of His Word and in our speech. 

     It may seem strange to you, but the more I’m in the Word, the more personally I take it.  It seems Jesus is speaking directly to me.  Jeremiah 27:5 says “I (Abba) have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me.  The Holy Spirit gives us what we can handle in fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23 [Abba's character] and the Gifts of the Spirit [working of miracles].  1 Corinthians 12:4-12    But always remember,

Hebrew 2:1-5

“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. (2)  For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, (3) how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, (4) “God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will (5) For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.”

     Paraphrasing Hebrew 2:1-5, Abba wants us to heed [understand, accept and believe] least we drift away [go back to our old ways in the world].  In the Old Testament His words were spoken through angels which proved accurate [true, they came to pass] and evil or disobedient received their just rewards.  We cannot escape His justice, when He’s offered us such a great salvation through Jesus His only Son.  God bears witness both in signs and wonders of His gifts to assure us; Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit still function on earth today.  By His will, God is speaking of latter times [our time, after Jesus].  Know this; we are not under subjection to angels during the Church Age – Only Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are in charge.

Revelation1:8

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

     Tell me, who can please Him when we are so imperfect?  We’re told above, that His power is given only to the ones who are pleasing in His sight.  So what will it take for us to be pleasing in His sight?

Matthew 15:11, 19-20

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man;

but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.

(19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,

murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

(20) These are the things which defile a man,

but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

Proverbs 16:23

"The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.”

Mark 12:30

“And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

'This is the first commandment."

Also in Matthew 22:27 & Luke 10:27

    YOU CAN!  By faith, believe He is able to do what He says.  It’s mandatory that we learn to accept and work in the Spiritual realm, even though we cannot see it.  As long as we continue to walk in the flesh, it will be impossible to please Him because, “…those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God.” Romans 8:8 

     So how can you stop living in the flesh?  Easy, read your BIBLE daily.  See what Jesus wants you to do – THEN DO IT – JUST AS HE SAID TO!  It may seem strange to you, even impossible to work – BUT IT ALWAYS DOES! 

Matthew 13:16-17

“But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;” [17] “for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
