JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT “YOU” ARE A KING & A LORD Part 1

 ….the One(Jesus) Who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the One having all power], the King of those who are reigning as kings, and Lord of those who are ruling as lords, … I Timothy 6:12-16 Kenneth Wuest Translation

If you are a believer, you may already be familiar with the declaration and truth that JESUS IS King of kings and Lord of lords.  But what you may not be familiar with is who are these kings Jesus is King over and who are these lords that Jesus is Lord over.  Who are these people?  If you are born again THAT WOULD BE YOU!!!  Yes you may not know it, you may not look like it and you may not be acting like a king and a lord but it does not change the truth of WHO and WHAT you are.   You are a king and a lord!  Brothers and sisters EACH and EVERYONE of you need to grasp this TRUTH with all your heart and NEVER let it go.  I knew this already but when I saw it in the Kenneth Wuest translation and how it reads it stoked my chimney.  It fanned my flames. It loaded my gun.  Let’s contemplate the scripture above.

the One(Jesus) Who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the One having all power], the King of those who are reigning as kings, and Lord of those who are ruling as lords…  I Timothy 6:15 Kenneth Wuest Translaton 

Let me tell you what happened to me when I first read this.  I saw that I am supposed to be reigning as a king and I saw that I am suppose to be ruling as lord.  Then I had to have  a talk with myself.  I said to myself, “Vincent are you consciously reigning as a king and are you consciously ruling as a lord?”  I thought about it and came to a conclusion that in some areas I was but in others I was not.  Then I remembered Colossians 2:9-10.

…because in Him there is continuously and permanently at home all the fullness of absolute deity in bodily fashion. And you are in Him, having been completely filled full with the present result that you are in a state of fullness, in Him who is the Head of every principality and authority..  Colossians 2:9-10 Kenneth Wuest Translation

Then I remembered Ephesians 2: 5 & 8.

…by grace have you been saved completely in past time, with the present result that you are in a state of salvation which persists through present time,… Ephesians 2:5

For by the grace have you been saved in time past completely, through faith, with the result that your salvation persists through present time; and this [salvation] is not from you as a source; of God it is the gift, not from a source of works, in order that no one might boast; Ephesians 2:8-10 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

What does all this mean? Did you notice and SEE all this completeness and fulness going on?  It means because I have been saved completely and Jesus’s victory is complete I AM TO REIGN as king COMPLETELY and I AM TO RULE as lord completely in every area of my life JUST LIKE JESUS.  I hope and pray you are getting this.  Let me help you further.  Do you know what the word king and lord means.

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT LYING SYMPTOMS VS. BEING SICK Part 2

Who His Own self bare our sins in His Own Body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed. I Peter 2:24 KJV

As a believer it is important for you to know that a symptom does not mean you are sick.  If it does that means that The Word of God is lying and we know that this is not possible.   God’s word does not make sense in the natural and unless you look at it and believe it through the eyes of faith you can get confused and even discouraged.  Allow me to explain.  Some people think, “Yes by His stripe I were healed”, until a lying symptom shows up.  They may be apprehensive to boldly declare, “I am healed” as they blow their nose and stand against feelings of chills or other lying symptoms.   Notice how I keep using the word ‘lying symptoms’?  That’s because that is what they are. Lying symptoms.  The Word of God, Who is Jesus declares that by HIs stripes YOU WERE HEALED.  We discussed previously the word were in that verse comes from an Indo European root word which means to remain. So you can read that scripture, “By Whose stripes I REMAIN healed!”   YOU REMAIN HEALED!!!  We must train ourselves to see, think and speak about our lives from God the Father’s perspective.  Since you have been born again, God has never saw you as sick, broke, in lack or debt. NEVER.  Why? He sees you from His eternal realm and perspective in Heaven where you are seated in and with Christ at His right hand.   You simply need to use your faith and see yourself that same way and it will cause every spiritual blessing that you have been blessed with in the heavenly places in Christ to be made manifest here in the Earth realm as well. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3 KJV

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,  Ephesians 2:6 NIV

You are right now presently IN CHRIST!  You are united with Him. 

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.  I Corinthians 1:30 New Living Translation 

God the Father HAS united you with Christ Jesus.  Is Christ sick? NO! Neither are you.  The scripture above says Poppa has made us pure and holy and freed us from sin.  Sin includes sickness and disease. The Word just told you you are free from sin.  We must take God’s Word, place it above our feelings, our seeing in the natural and above the reports of so called worldly experts.  We must learn to read the Word and by it know and believe and more importantly speak the Truth. This gives glory to God. 

Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, by telling the truth. Make your confession and tell me what you have done. Don’t hide it from me.” Joshua 7:19 New Living Translation

The scripture above tells us that telling the truth gives glory to God.  When a challenge, physical or otherwise presents itself, train yourself to GIVE GLORY TO GOD and immediately tell the truth.  If you do not know what the truth is about your situation get in the Word and find out.  Then, TELL THE TRUTH!

If you have cold symptoms, Jesus does not look at you and say, “By My stripes they will be healed as soon as their nose stops running.”  NO! A thousand times no!  Jesus still sees you as healed and whole and He expects you to tell the truth.  You and He are united and He is in faith with and for you and He expects you to stay and be in agreement with Him so you can walk in His health and His life that is ALREADY YOURS!!!

The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.  I John 5:12 New American Standard Bible 

We must learn to judge Jesus: The Word FAITHFUL!!!   In order to do that we must know the Truth!  The Truth alone does not make us free.  Knowing the Truth makes us free.  Free from sickness, free from disease, free from debt, free from lack, free from sin.

As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him. 31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Berean Study Bible John 8:31-32 

Continue in His Word which is The Truth. Know the Truth and be made free. 

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

 

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT LYING SYMPTOMS VS. BEING SICK

Who His Own self bare our sins in His Own Body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed. I Peter 2:24 KJV

If you are a believer, did you know there is a difference between a symptom and sickness?  In the natural it is very easy to confuse a symptom with actually being sick.  Stick with me I am going somewhere good with this. Somewhere truthful.  Somewhere full of the truth.  However I must point out that this is true for believers who take the word of God as final authority in their lives.   First, allow me to make something perfectly clear.

• I am not denying that sickness and disease exist. 
• I am reinforcing The Word of God that sickness has no right to come on, stay on or effect the life of a born again person.
• I am stating that in regards to a believer, sickness exist as a lie.

The Word of God declares in I Peter 2:24 that by Jesus’s stripes YOU WERE HEALED!  Do you really understand what that means?  Allow me to ask you a question.  Is it legal or illegal for people to break into other peoples homes?  Yes it is!  Do people still do it? Yes they do.  However, if the homeowner or an officer of the law confronts and withstands the intruder that determines the outcome.  The intruder is looking for a ‘chance’ to steal, break in and get away without opposition.   The word symptom is an interesting word especially in its origin or original meaning.  Take a look at it’s definition:

symptom- a physical or mental feature that is regarded as indicating a disease.

Now take a look at the meaning of the origin.

The word symptom is from medieval Latin, based on the Greek word sumptoma which means chance.  

If a burglar scopes out a home he is looking for an opportunity or chance to break in.  There are genuine people who are in need and then there are people on the corner who dress poorly and carry a sign and wear a sad face declaring their need for help and money.  In the case of the disingenuous these people are saying, “Lets see if by chance someone will fall for my ruse and give me money.  We know in the world there are cases of illness and disease that cause people to be sick and some even die. Unfortunately this has happened to believers and unbelievers alike.   What we must understand and stand on is that our own experience or the experience of others NEVER CHANGES the Truth of God’s Word Who is JESUS!  I have experienced some severe lying symptoms that seemed very real and tried to effect my physical body in a way contrary to it’s design and The Word of God.  Right in the middle of those symptoms I found myself declaring, “Poppa!!! Your Word is Truth!”.  In the midst of those very symptoms out of my mouth poured the truth of God’s Word.  Thank God for His Grace and His Word in me. So please understand, when a symptom shows up it is not the deciding factor of what will actually occur. A symptom presents a chance to make a choice. When the disingenuous poor person is standing on the corner of the street at the stop light they are hoping by ‘chance’ you will choose to fall for their ruse based on their sign, appearance, face or demeanor. The same thing applies to symptoms in any area. You see the symptom now is your chance to make a choice.

Whether it be physical, financial, emotional we must never surrender our confession(Heb 10:23) to lying symptoms that are from the devil who sits in the corner debating, “Let’s see by chance if I can get them to just take this symptom.” You feel a tickle in your throat or some other lying symptom and the thought comes, “Oh man, am I getting sick?”.  No hell! I am not getting sick!  That’s from the pit of  hell and the devil who have passed that thought across your mind to see by chance if you will take it and more importantly,… SAY IT!

(Jesus said)Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? Matthew 6:31 KJV

Jesus just revealed the way you take a thought is by saying it.  Jesus also told us to stop making our judgements and conclusions based on appearances. 

Stop judging by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment!” John 7:24 International Standard Version 

We are believers!!! We give glory to God!  The main way you give glory to God is by telling the TRUTH and walking in the TRUTH which is The Word.  Righteous judgment is THE WORD!

…..by Whose stripes ye were healed. I Peter 2:24 KJV

The Truth is YE WERE HEALED!  The word were in that verse comes from an Indo European root word which means to remain. So you can read that scripture, “By Whose stripes I REMAIN healed!”  The symptom or the sickness or the results of the doctor scan are real in this world and may exist in the natural but you are supernatural and exist in the eternal world and kingdom with Poppa God and Jesus and sickness and disease do not exist there at all and so in reality they are lies.  YOU are NOT of this world.  Please grasp this!!  The symptoms are a lie and The Word is TRUTH!  You are sanctified and set apart by the TRUTH.  

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.  John 17:16-17  NIV

Do not bow down to any lying symptom whether it be a headache or a so called serious disease. Give Glory to God by knowing, believing, receiving and declaring (speaking) the TRUTH!!!  By His stripe I REMAIN HEALED!  Having done all to stand, STAND! Amen!

We will pick this up tomorrow.

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Part 2

 

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27 KJV

As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]. I John 2:27 Amplified Bible

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.  John 16:13

As the new year begins, it is extremely important that as a believer and a person your expectation and goals for change, for increase, for things being better be founded on a firm foundation.  That foundation is Truth.  Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”, (John 14:6).  I capitalized Way, Truth, and Life because they are not something they are Someone.  That Someone is JESUS.  Jesus made a statement that we should all pay attention to and take heart consideration of. 

I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. John 15:5 KJV

At first glance it appears that Jesus is telling you what you cannot do.  But in truth He is telling you what you can do.  What Jesus is saying here is without Me you can do nothing.   

To explain it further, Jesus is saying that you may build a large company that makes billions of dollar but if you do it without Me, IT IS NOTHING!  One of the most important  things for believers to focus on right now and until Jesus comes is seeing things the way God sees them.  I cannot overemphasize the importance of that statement.  Jesus made a profound statement in Luke 7:24 that is in the imperative sense which makes it a command.

Stop judging by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment!” Luke 7:24 International Standard Version

 In this world, there are many things that have a reality here and that exist in this fallen world.  These things such as, sickness, disease, pain, sorrow poverty, lack, hatred, racism, strife and even death itself which entered into the Earth realm by way of Adam’s disobedience and fall do have an existence here.  However they do not exist in the eternal realm where God is and dwells and where we also dwell with Him (Ephesians 2:6).  Pay close attention  to  what I am about to say as it will appear to be crazy.  Those previously mentioned things exist as lies.  They appear real and have a certain reality in this world and cause havoc and chaos and even death but they are not THE TRUTH.  Faith in Jesus Who is the The Word of God causes the promises of God to be made manifest in this fallen realm just as faith in sickness, disease and death which Jesus has conquered maintains and manifest evil in this world. But make no mistake, this is a temporary thing.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.  Proverbs 12:19 KJV

I am still talking about ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.   As a believer,  you must know the difference between all things and old things. You must know the difference between the Truth and a lie.  Knowing the Truth will make you free.  A lie will bind you.  Focus your attention on those two things underlined in these scriptures.

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27 KJV

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

In these two verses we see that there is a distinction made between all things and old things.  Old things which I specified earlier are things from the fall, the curse and satan.  All things are from God the Father.  In the Kenneth Wuest Translation of 2 Corinthians 5:17, there is an even more defined distinction of the old things since that translation is a direct and accurate translation from the Greek.   As I often say don’t take my word for it, take The Word for it.   

So that, assuming that anyone is in Christ, he is a creation new in quality. The antiquated, out-of-date things [which do not belong to the new life in Christ Jesus] have passed away. Behold, all things have become new in quality. But the aforementioned all things are from God as a source, the One who reconciled us to Himself through the intermediate agency of Christ… 2 Corthians 5:17-18 Kenneth Wuest Translation

I encourage you to read that verse again in the light of what Jesus said in Luke 7:24 where He states, “Stop judging by appearances and judge righteous judgement.”  Sin and death have absolutely nothing to do with RIGHTEOUSNESS.   They are diametrically opposed to righteousness.  In this world where lies and lying seem to abound we as believers must know and believe and act on and in The Truth Who is JESUS.  The Bible states that KNOWING THE TRUTH is what makes us free not just the Truth all by Himself.   All things are possible to us with God.  Jesus IS GOD.  Our relationship with Him, with the Truth is what makes us free and allows us to do all things.  I encourage you to covet a closer relationship with The Word Who is JESUS.  A relationship with God the Father thru His Son is the EVERYTHING that makes impossible nothing. Believe all things are possible simply because of your relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son. Amen!

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH -ABOUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Jesus said to him, “As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes.” Mark 9:23 God’s Word Translation

Blessed and Happy New Year to you!! May the year be filled with manifested blessing and many good days and reasons for you to be happy indeed.  Jesus is alive and well and He is still Lord!!! Be sure to keep Him in His proper place as the Head of your life.  The new year brings with it many hopes, dreams and other things.  Hopes that things will go back to normal. Dream of a better life, job, good sucesss and other aspirations. As believers, because we live in the eternal realm with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ we are not bound by time.  So this changing of the years does not affect us in the same degree as people of the world no more than it affects God the Father in the eternal realm.  As a believer it is vital that you understand that you have been given eternal life.   You’re not going to get eternal life after Jesus comes back and takes us to Heaven physically but you have it now!  As I oft times say, don’t take my word for it, take The Word for it.

These things I write to you in order that you may know with an absolute knowledge that life you are having, eternal life, to you who believe on the Name of the Son of God. I John 5:13 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

You HAVE eternal life right now.  The Word eternal in that passage is the Greek Word aionios and it means to have the same quality of life as God Himself has in His sinless abode. As difficult as that may seem to be to believe it is just da truth.

In the more popular King James Version of our text scripture Jesus said to this man, “All things are possible to the one who believes.”  This is a foundational scripture for all believers because it is telling you two important things.  

1. Who you are.
2. What you can and are to do.

Let’s look at another less known but no less vital scripture.

For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them Matthew 25:29 NIV

There are many things in the Word of God  that tell us and inform us of what we have. The word have in the New Testament is a powerful word that all believers should acquaint themselves with. The word have is the Greek word echo and it means:

#2192 ἔχω echo {ekh'-o}

 including an alternate form scheo {skheh'-o}, used in certain
    tenses only), a primary verb; TDNT - 2:816,286; v


—Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)

 1) to have, i.e. to hold
    1a) to have (hold) in the hand, in the sense of wearing, to have
        (hold) possession of the mind (refers to alarm, agitating
        emotions, etc.), to hold fast keep, to have or comprise or
        involve, to regard or consider or hold as
 2) to have i.e. own, possess
    2a) external things such as pertain to property or riches or
        furniture or utensils or goods or food etc.
    2b) used of those joined to any one by the bonds of natural blood
        or marriage or friendship or duty or law etc, of attendance or
        companionship
 3) to hold one's self or find one's self so and so, to be in such or
    such a condition
 4) to hold one's self to a thing, to lay hold of a thing, to adhere
    or cling to
    4a) to be closely joined to a person or a thing

So this word have means that you literally have, hold or possess the thing that is indicated that you have. Notice how it indicates holding in the hand and ownership.  Other definitions include laying hold of a thing and to be closely joined to a person or a thing.  For the believer, our believing is what brings possession and the reality of all of Poppa’s promises into our lives.  This is how you became a believer by believing.  Believing is the foundation of your salvation and relationship with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Now ask yourself, “Do you really believe that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE?”.  Pause for a moment.  I am not asking you about if that is scripture or in the Bible.  I am not asking you if you think that Jesus is telling the truth because we know He cannot lie.  I am asking you to identify what you believe. Why am I asking this question?  Because as you start this new year and you think of dreams and goals and other desires you need a foundation.  Our foundation and anchor is and always should be The Word of God.

God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. 18So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. 19This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:18-19 New Living Translation 

God has given us His Word: JESUS and with Him EVERYTHING!  If a person walked up to you with one hundred thousand dollars and said, “I am going to give you this one hundred thousand dollars”, you would be excited.  However  if they then added the condition that I am going to give you one dollar a day I am sure your excitement would lessen as you realize you are going to get about thirty dollars a month. My point with that example is look deep into the text scripture and see what has been given to you.

Jesus said to him, “As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes.” Mark 9:23 God’s Word Translation

By making this statement Jesus just gave you EVERYTHING!!! All that you truly have as a heart desire He has given to you with that one statement. The question is, “Do you believe it”?”  All things are possible to the person who believes.  So it does not matter how big your dream is. KNOW that by the Word of the Lord Jesus IT IS POSSIBLE!!!  Since it is possible then see it as a finished work.  This will make it easier for you if you can see it as finished.  This is what makes healing and prosperity and all the things that Jesus’s death, burial and ressurrection secured for us.  Remember that Jesus said on the Cross “It is finished!”.   Whatever you need or desire see it as a finished work because you believe in Him and His finished work.  All things are possible.  I encourage you to use the start of this year to identify, locate and alter if necessary what it is that you believe.   Believing that all things are possible to you because God is with you is what will cause your dreams and desires to be manifest. Amen!

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT “YOU” ARE A KING & A LORD Part 2

…the One(Jesus) Who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the One having all power], the King of those who are reigning as kings, and Lord of those who are ruling as lords, … I Timothy 6:12-16 Kenneth Wuest Translation

We revealed previously that YOU indeed are the king that Jesus is King over and YOU are the lord that Jesus is Lord over.  Let’s once again define those two words king & lord so that we know exactly what this kingship and lordship thru Jesus the King of kings and the Lord of lords gives us the right to.

The word king in the lower case means;

#0936 βασιλεύω basileuo {bas-il-yoo’-o}

—Greek Word Study

1) to be king, to exercise kingly power, to reign
1a) of the governor of a province
1b) of the rule of the Messiah
1c) of the reign of Christians in the millennium
2) metaph. to exercise the highest influence, to control
—Thayer’s (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
From G0935; to rule (literally or figuratively):—king, reign.

The word lord in the lower case means:

#2961 κυριεύω kurieuo {ko-ree-yoo’-o}

—Greek Word Study

1) to be lord of, to rule, have dominion over
2) of things and forces
2a) to exercise influence upon, to have power over
—Thayer’s (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
From G2962; to rule:—have dominion over, lord, be lord of, exercise lordship over.

WE not the world , not the devil are to EXERCISE  kingly power, the highest influence and control and dominion, power, : authority and control in the Earth realm thru The KING: JESUS in every area of our life over every situation and circumstance.

You are to function, live and operate EVERY DAY as a king and a lord with delegated authority, influence, power, control and dominion that has been granted to you from the King of kings and the Lord of lords: JESUS!

A king reigns thru the power of his  or her word or words.  When a king says, “Bring that person to me, the person is brought to the king.  The king does not physically go and lay hold on the person.  Their words have taken hold of the person, the situation or circumstances..

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Ecclesiastes 8:4 KJV

A king’s word has POWER.  Power to bind Power to loose. Power to bless. Power to curse. Power to turn water into wine. Power to heal. Power to deliver. Power to set free. Power to raise the dead.  As a king under the King of kings YOU have delegated power and authority. Again don’t take my word for it, take The Word for it.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Matthew 10:8 King James Version

These are the words of Jesus to His disciples, to YOU!!!  Jesus says you have received this authority, this power.  Jesus also said greater works than what He did we would do. I believe JESUS.  If Jesus said FREELY we have received and that we should FREELY GIVE then we should do it.  Ah, Ah, Ah,  did you just let your mind get involved?  DON’T!  Jesus Life, power and authority are yours by the Spirit in your born-again human spirit.  It does not happen thru you trying to conjure up if you have enough faith.  Jesus is the author and finisher of ‘your faith’  so you have MORE than enough faith.  The goodness of God comes to us as New Testament believers purely by GRACE Who is JESUS.  As a matter of truth, The Word says that is exactly HOW we reign as kings in life, through the abundance of GRACE and the gift of righteousness.

For in view of the fact that by means of the transgression of the one death reigned as king through that one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, in life will reign as kings through the One, Jesus Christ.  Romans 5:17 Kenneth Wuest Translation

You are to reign in this life right here on Earth AS A KING.  You are to rule in this life right here on Earth AS A LORD.  What you see Jesus do, you can do and even greater things because HE SAID SO!  I encourage you to start your REIGN TODAY!!!

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT TENSES & TIME Part 5

And this is the testimony, that life eternal God gave us. And this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has the life. The one who does not have the Son of God the life he does not have. These things I write to you in order that you may know with an absolute knowledge that life you are having, eternal life, to you who believe on the Name of the Son of God. I John 5:12-13 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

  The word eternal in that verse is the Greek word aionios.   It means:

Part of Speech: Adjective

Transliteration: aiónios

Phonetic Spelling: (ahee-o’-nee-os)

Short Definition: eternal, unending

Cognate: 166 aiṓnios (an adjective, derived from 165 /aiṓn (“an age, having a particular character and quality”) – properly, “age-like” (“like-an-age”), i.e. an “age-characteristic” (the quality describing a particular age); (figuratively) the unique quality (reality) of God’s life at work in the believer, i.e. as the Lord manifests His self-existent life (as it is in His sinless abode of heaven). “Eternal (166 /aiṓnios) life operates simultaneously outside of time, inside of time, and beyond time – i.e. what gives time its everlasting meaning for the believer through faith, yet is also time-independent. See 165 (aiōn).

[166 (aiṓnios) does not focus on the future per se, but rather on the quality of the age (165 /aiṓn) it relates to. Thus believers live in “eternal (166 /aiṓnios) life” right now, experiencing this quality(standard) of God’s life now as a present possession. (Note the Gk present tense of having eternal life in Jn 3:36, 5:24, 6:47; cf. Ro 6:23.)]

This is why you are not bound by time BELIEVER.   You HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!  That life is the same quality of life as Poppa has in His sinless abode.  Waiting is sin, it misses God’s mark.  

• When does God the Father desire and say for you to be healed ? NOW!
• When does God Word declare that you are blessed with EVERY spiritual blessing? NOW! 
• When were you redeemed by Jesus Blood and all your sins put away? Before the foundation of the world so redemption is YOURS NOW!
• When do you get an inheritance of all that God the Father has provided thru the Finished Work of Christ?  When someone dies! JESUS HAS ALREADY DIED and is RAISED so your ETERNAL INHERITANCE IS YOURS NOW!

These things I write to you in order that you may know with an absolute knowledge that life you are having, eternal life, to you who believe on the Name of the Son of God. I John 5:13 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

You have eternal life now and with it authority over time and every created thing in and with Christ Jesus.  Spend some time with The Holy Ghost and allow Him to teach you ALL THINGS (I John 2:20- 2:27).  Then repent and believe the Gospel.  Believe it and act on it!!  AMEN!!!

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT TENSES & TIME Part 4

 

So that, assuming that anyone is in Christ, he is a creation new in quality. The antiquated, out-of-date things [which do not belong to the new life in Christ Jesus] have passed away. Behold, all things have become new in quality. 2 Corinthian 5:17 Kenneth Wuest Translation

We ended yesterday talking about how before man is born again, they have a dead spirit and the enemy is their spiritual over lord by nature.  Man is now born into sin and has to die and be BORN AGAIN.  The old creation is condemned to death and a life without God the Father.  But, The New Creation is ALIVE to God by Jesus Christ the righteous and ALL of His righteousness, ALL of His Holiness, AlL of His wisdom, ALL of His favor , ALL of His Authority and ALL of His ability is OURS now and forever more because we are One with Him and have One Life together with Him. 

Believers are no longer subject to sin and all the misery and penalties and punishment that were and are meant only for the devil but are inherited by his children as he places his anti-blessing or the curse upon them in his pointed and intense hatred of them.  Just as the Father has given to us His children all things pertaining to life and godliness, the devil is an imitator of God and pours out on his children all that pertains to death and ungodlinesss and then convinces them thru the law and erroneous  teachers and teachings that God the Father is the source of all their misery when The Lord our God is He Who has gone before us, who has fought and won for us, against our enemies to save, heal, preserve and rescue us from the real perpetrator, the devil.  JESUS has already defeated the devil and won the victory for us and GIVEN it to us. The devil is dis-eased and the source of all disease. The devil is sick and weakly, feeble and old.  The Bible calls him such by calling him that old  serpent the devil(Rev 12:19).  Oldness is a lie, it does not exist in Heaven.   Jesus died on the Cross YOUNG and He is forever young just like His Father and AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.  

And this is the testimony, that life eternal God gave us. And this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has the life. The one who does not have the Son of God the life he does not have. These things I write to you in order that you may know with an absolute knowledge that life you are having, eternal life, to you who believe on the Name of the Son of God. I John 5:12-13 Kenneth Wuest Translation

Original Word: αἰώνιος, ία, ιον

Part of Speech: Adjective

Transliteration: aiónios

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT TENSES & TIME Part 3

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.  Psalm 139:16 New Living Translation

We ended yesterday with this scripture. It relays how God the Father saw you, knew you before you were born and how all  the days of your life were recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out BEFORE a single day had passed.  That is mind boggling ito most people because we have been taught and trained that everything has to function in and A, B, C, 1, 2, 3 step.  Everything has to be linear.  But not with God and Jesus.  Jesus can skip planting grapes, harvesting grapes, crushing grapes and bottling wine and waiting for it to age to become good wine.  He is The Lord of time, space and matter.  He can go from A to J or A to Z if he desires as easy as going from A to B. He is not bound by time, space or matter.

Hereinºº isº ourºº loveº made perfect,ºº thatº we may haveºº boldnessº inº theº dayº of judgment:º becauseº asº heº is,ºº soº areºº weº inº thisº world. I John 4:17 KJV. 

As a believer you are designed to look, function and act just like Jesus.  That is your design and purpose, to be conformed to the image of God’s Son.  Let’s go back to Lucifer for a moment to get enlightenment.  Lucifer’s purpose and design was already determined by God when God the Father spoke Lucifer into existence what Poppa determined about Lucifer and said about Lucifer THAT and THAT ONLY is THE TRUTH.  When Lucifer decided he wanted to do and be something and someone else then immediately his action produced what is known today as lies or “the lie”.  Pay close attention to what Jesus has to say about the devil who used to be Lucifer.  

As for you, out from your father, the devil, you are, and the passionate cravings of your father you are desiring to be doing. That one was a manslayer from the beginning, and in the truth he did not maintain his standing, because truth does not exist in him. Whenever he is speaking the lie, out of the things which are his own private possessions he is speaking, because a liar he is and the father of it.  John 8:44 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

 Did you see that?  Lucifer did not maintain his standing in The Truth, what God’s Word said about him which now allowed or caused him to utter “the lie’ and become a liar and  the father of lies.  The devil is indeed a liar and is the father of “the lie” or all lies.   When God’s Word says, “By His stripe YOU WERE or YOU REMAIN healed that is The Truth.  When Adam obeyed satan and caused all mankind to fall, the devil and his lies became their inheritance.  Adam took the devil as his federal head and all the lies that come with him which are sin and death in their totality.  

The devil in the garden was given a specific amount of ‘time’.  The Word of God declared that “his time is short”.  This shortness of time is a mindset that the world has adopted through and from him, the devil.  Everything the enemy does is bound and affected and takes time.  The enemy uses time to put man in fear.  God uses time to put man in faith and therefore back in his rightful place IN CHRIST Who is Lord of All!! Hallelujah and AMEN!   Lucifer did not maintain his standing in the truth and he is therefore the dead lie which is sin because he missed God’s mark, God’s purpose, God’s design, God;s glory for him.  

After Adam sinned this caused ALL men to sin and come short of the glory of God.  The Glory and honor and dominion that Father God originally gave to Adam at creation is still there and is still for man and is still in man but he cannot fully access or use it no more than the devil can access or use his power and place and authority that was given to him as Lucifer.  The devil is a dead spirit.  Man’s spirit before he is born again is dead to God and alive to the enemy and his devices and thoughts and intents.  This is why you see so many people under the control and influence of the enemy.  Christ has come to free us from the enemy, sin and all the limitations that came as a result of the fall. You must understand that just like Jesus, you are free from the sin or being controlled by time, space and matter as well. 

We will pick this up tomorrow.  Stick with us we are going somewhere.

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!

JUST DA TRUTH – ABOUT TENSES & TIME Part 2

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.  I John 4:16

We ended yesterday showing in The Word of God how Jesus exercises authority over time and matter in John chapter 2.  Jesus said we would do greater works than what He did while He was here.  It’s time for us to believe that and place a demand on the greater works which are a part of Jesus’s Finished Work.  Here is a great example of what I am talking about in terms of tenses and time. 

…Who himself carried up to the Cross our sins in His body and offered himself there as on an altar, doing this in order that we, having died with respect to our sins, might live with respect to righteousness, by means of whose bleeding stripe [the word “stripe” is in the singular here; a picture of our Lord’s back after the scourging, one mass of raw, quivering flesh with no skin remaining, trickling with blood] you were healed,… I Peter 2:24 Kenneth Wuest Translation 

Were is past tense. Were is from an Indo-European root which means “remain”.  So when properly translated that scripture actually reads: By His stripe YOU REMAIN HEALED!

Do you see how ‘tense’ is important?  Do you see how important ‘tense’ is?  The Word of God is not written carelessly or capriciously.   It is deliberate and intentional and its integrity and wholeness is guarded and kept and settled by God the Father Himself and His  Holy angels and even the devil acts as a guardian of God’s righteousness but with the intent and purpose to steal, kill and destroy.  Lucifer was a guardian of God’s righteousness and Holiness. He and his demons  lost their position and their job as a result of their rebellion and their not maintaining their standing in the Truth.  This is a side journey but a good one because you need to understand  how the devil functions.  So again when he was Lucifer he was archangel and guardian of God’s righteousness and Truth.  Understand this by this scripture. 

For ever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 KJV  

Lucifer and every created angel or thing, its role title, power, ability and purpose has already been determine by The Word of God.  This includes YOU TOO.  Again don’t take my word for it, take The Word for it.

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.  Psalm 139:16 New Living Translation 

I encourage you, don’t try to rewrite the script. Get a copy from God and find out what you are to do.  This has to do with your ‘desires’ what is truly in your heart and not some fleeting whim or duplication of what you have seen someone else do.  What it truly in your heart that was placed there before you ever came to Earth from the presence of God?

Think about that and we will pick this up tomorrow.

All the blessed to you! Shalom!!!
