“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10 (KJV)
Jesus came preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. In John 4:14, he announced the gift of God is living water.
God gave this gift of life as an act of love! It’s called grace, the goodness of God!
Life is a witness. 1 John 1:1-2, the Apostle John called Jesus, the word of life. He said they saw it with their eyes and handled it with their hands. That life was manifested before them. He said they are witnesses!
Tge Apostle John also said, ‘If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater which is Life.
What is revelation?
Revelation is the God-given insight into the promises of his word. The Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians Church and all believers,
‘May God grant you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, that the eyes of your understanding being enlighted my know the hope of his calling.’
God unfolds his grand vision
“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” 1 John 2:20
“The anointing you have received of him shall teach you all things, 1 John 2:27
We have the witness in ourselves, 1 John 5:10
“But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.” Galatians 1:11-12
There are twenty-seven books in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul wrote half of it. Fourteen books are attributed to him, and he received it all by revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ.
What if the Apostle Paul taught what everyone else was teaching; we wouldn’t have knowledge of the hidden revelation God had planned for our times. The Apostle Paul was called to be a minister to the Gentiles. Jesus called Apostle Paul to this ministry. He taught him what to preach!
The Spirit of God was “working mightily” in the Apostle Paul to preach these “mysteries.”
Ephesians 3:2-5 (KJV)
“If ye have heard of dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.”
In Galatians 1:15, the Apostle Paul said God separated him from his mother’s womb and called him to this grace.
What Grace?
God fulfilled covenant with Abraham to make him a father of nations through the ministry of the Apostle Paul. God was bringing the nations into covenant with himself.
What about grace?
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quicken us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us together, and made us sit togather in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: THAT in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Jesus Christ. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:4-8
What ages?
Ages in regards to time periods. For example, the 1960s through the seventies is a time period. The 1970s through 1980 was an age period. During those decades, God sent revivals and ministries to perfect the church. He added the church daily, such as should be saved. He also equipped the church to be an effective witness against the works of darkness.
During the 1950s, a great healing revival broke out in the United States. There were also other recorded moves of God around the earth.
The New Creation
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, 2nd Corinthians 5:17
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
“We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
We need to define what “works God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
We need to go no further than the original blueprint as recorded in Genesis chapters 1-2.
God redeemed man back to his original purpose. In Jesus is the new creation
The Garden of Eden has been restored. The heavenly place is the Garden of Eden, the sanctuary God planted. Jesus is presently in this place serving as a faithful high priest, Hebrews chapter 8!
Believers are called children of the light. Light exposes darkness.
Knowledge versus wisdom
We are living on earth in a time when people have a lot of head knowledge but no wisdom. They know the grass needs to be cut, and they know how to cut it, but the grass never gets cut.
Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge and get an expected result!
People know the word of God. But they don’t know how to deliberately put it into operation and reap a harvest.
In Mark 4:26, Jesus taught us how the kingdoms of God operate in the world’s reality. Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a farmer sowing seeds in a field and patiently waiting for a harvest.
What does wisdom have to do with the kingdom of God?
So much of Christianity, the religious part, divorce power from the faith or they limit only to speaking tongues.
The law of God states,
“Whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap” See Galatians 6:7
If you sow apple seed, you are going to reap apples.
Galatians 6:6-10, put it this way,
Don’t deceive yourself. If you sow to the Spitit, you will reap LIFE. If you sow to the flesh, you will reap CORRUPTION. God can not be mocked.
The real problem here is one of definition. People really don’t have a revelation of life.
God breathed the breath of LIFE into Adam’s nostrils, and he became a living soul. LIFE transformed dust into a living soul capable of having a relationship with a super advanced life form called God.
After Adam’s trespassed by eating the forbidden fruit, God banished Adam from the Garden of Eden because Adam had access to the tree of life and could eat fruit from the tree of life and live forever, Genesis 3:22.
Jesus, being the seed of the woman, See Genesis 3:15, being the second Adam was fulfilled in Revelation 12:5-10 & verse 17.
God had to recreate Adam’s seed before he could allow them to eat fruit from the tree of life! This is what it means to be born again!
Therefore, life is supernatural infinite power capable of creating, healing, teaching, growing, and executing judgment.
God chose to give us the gift of life as a witness to the reality of Jesus Christ as his messenger, his witness.
1 John 5:10, “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: FOR THIS IS THE WITNESS OF GOD WHICH HE TESTIFIED OF HIS SON. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON OF GOD HATH THE WITNESS IN HIMSELF: he that believeth not hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.”
(What is the witness?)
“And this is the RECORD, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
God is the source of life. Genesis 2:10, a river flowed from Eden into the garden to give life to it.
Revelation 22:1-4, the water of life flows out of the throne of God to water the paradise of God, to give life to it.
We have the witness in ourselves. If we have Jesus, we have access to life.
How do you partake of life
Revelation 22:17, the Spirit and the Bride say, COME, ‘Whosoever hears let him come to the water of life and freely drink ‘
You can drink the water of life freely by opening your mouth and boldly claiming the promises of God.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and he who loves it will eat the fruit of it, Proverbs 18:21.
(This concept of freely drinking and / or eating is a tie-in to Genesis 2:16, where God told Adam he could freely eat from any tree in the Garden of Eden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.)
The Apostle Paul put it this way in Roman 10:8, the word is near you. It is in your heart and in your mouth. If you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For God is rich unto all who call upon his name!
The Apostle Paul was referencing from Deuteronomy 30:11-14, where Moses told the children of Israel the commandment was not hidden, it is not in heaven, neither beyond the sea, neither was it responsibility of others to get for them. Moses said,
“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou might do it.” Deuteronomy 30:14 (KJV)
The Apostle Paul called it the word of faith, Romans 10:8
The woman who had the issue of blood (See Mark 5:25-34, also recorded in Luke 8:43-48)
She spent 12 years and much money seeking a medical cure. However, her medical condition grew worse. She heard Jesus was in a crowd. Many people were pressing in on him to touch him. But this woman said within herself, ‘If I can touch his clothes, I shall be healed.’ When she touched Jesus’ garment, she felt that within her body, she was healed of her plague. JESUS felt power leave him and said, ‘Who touched me.’ The woman, knowing what was done, bowed before him and acknowledged her actions. Jesus said, ‘Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole.’
The power source that healed the woman was “LIFE.”
The Apostle John, in 1 John 1:1-5, acknowledged that Jesus is the Word of Life! He said, ‘They were eye witnesses!’
JOHN SAID, THE LIFE, which was with the Father, was manifested to them
What is life?
Life is the Spirit of God
Life is the gift of God
Life creates
Life is a witness
Life flows from God
Life heals
Life delivers
Life gives revelation
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
God’s gift of grace and life are meant to transform your life, to give you glorious rest!
