RHEMA WORD (10/24 -26 / 2014) Destroy the works of the Devil: (Isaiah 61:1-3) “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” (1 John 2:28 – 3:2) “And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” (1 John 3:8-10) “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.” A garment of praise breaks the adversaries hold on us, and Judah means: praise. Obedience to God is not in our own ways, but according to God’s will, to fulfill our ordained destiny, and to effectively destroy the works of the Devil. Bring salvation to the lost. The healing of the sick, because it is God’s will, which we are to confess it through faith believing He will do what He says. With a hardened heart it causes anti-faith, sin, UN-forgiveness, fear, doubt, trials, tribulation, bitterness, and etc. avoid being, with a heart that wax cold, which will kill the joy of the Lord. Trust in God’s protection, with obedience to His protection and guidance. Don’t rely on logic, or flirt with sinful evil, Instead ask God to show you His ways. Temptation isn’t sin, if you don’t respond to it. Time is short, sin abounds, and God desires for us to die to self, allowing sinful and demonic deliverance of our flesh and our soul, also evident in the lives of Christians. In this regard also believe, confess and act upon it, for healing as God tells you to do. Often fasting is good for health to restore and heal. (1 Thes. 5:1- ) Faith and love works together, which goes against common sense. We must die to the cross, for many are called, but few are chosen. Truth lies between Gods laws and grace, which is to Chose God’s ways. For many are called but few are chosen, which is relationship, sacrifice, and convenient, that must be earned, that gives the right to use Gods power. Presence and Power of the Lord to heal: (Luke 5:15-20) “However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” Faith is imparted to us from something, a substance from heaven as a word of knowledge or wisdom from heaven, but not merely of hope. State in it, believe it, and act on it. For the anointing is energy and power. We are the receptors, as it is in electric power. Jesus is our transformer transmitting from the power of God and sending it to us through the Holy Spirit, for He is in us and working through us and in us always. But are we connected to the source of His power? Are we connected to the power and able receive and transmit the power? If the power is there, are we able to transmit it. And even if we are able to transmit, is the recipient able to receive it. Even if the power plant is active, if the Circuit barkers are turned off, to receive the power, it will not be activated. Thus the problem is in the house, as in the individual person, you must open up the circuits to receive the power. So when Gods miracles, through grace and mercy don’t occur it may be the because of your inability to receive from Gods grace. Such things as: doubt, negativity thinking, fright, lack of faith and trust, caused by issues such as: trauma, stress, darkness, generational courses, preconceived beliefs, and etc. If these and others which are related, we must do our part to resolve and remove all the obstacles that prevent us from being all we were created to do and be. If there are issues in these things, the deliverance may be the next step. Time to cross the Jordan: (Joshua 3:1-11) “Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over. So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp; and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.” And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people. And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan.’ ” So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God.” And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites: Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.” Crossing the Jordan is a place of change, which brings in the welcome presence of God, and the anointing, which is for service. The glory puts the fear of God in the people. They are different. We are not holy, and with intensified glory we see who we really are. In darkness light abounds. We are protected by the blood, as it was with Israel in the land of Goshen, at the first Passover. We are to get rid of liven in our lives, and be sanctified, because we belong to God. And He, and what is His belongs also to us. Commitment and sacrifice equals great rewards, and to those who much is given, much is required. The closer we get to God, the more He require from us, to receive more of His nature and character. God requires balance, and having no evil in our house or us. Don’t carelessly leave the doors to your house open, for the thief to come, steal and destroy. Be ready at all times to leave, fully prepared, don’t look back, let go of things that hold you back in darkness. Sanctify yourself, and be ready to face uncharted territory. Jesus will be taking back the title deed to the earth. The River of Life: (Is 55:1-7) “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; and you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you– The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” (Ezek. 47:1-12) “Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side. 3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river. 7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.” A restless soul can’t hear the voice of God, and Fear brings torment. Pray and trust in the Lord realizing that his currency is not money but faith. Ask and believe in faith, trusting in his trustworthiness. For all dimensions converge in the now (this very moment) for either positive or negative, blessing or cursing, so enjoy the moment. Don’t waste your time on things which are unimportant. Be willing to invite others into your home, loving God and others, which attracts close relationships. Friendships, and love between God and humanity. Enoch walked with God, in close fellowship, as a friend, and a son of God. God will also covenant with us, willingly do things for us in both the physical and spiritual dimensions.
