I John. 4:19 says “We love Him because He first loved us.” Do you
know how the Word of God defines love? I John 4:10
“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son
to be the propitiation (mercy seat) for our sins. This is Bible definition of love. It is not our love for God - it is His perfect love for us all.
You Are God’s Beloved
When Jesus was baptized in
the river Jordan, a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom
I am well pleased.” This is
recorded in the Bible for your benefit. (shows Jesus as example) Right now God
is well pleased with the head and with the body the church.
The book of Ephesians tells
us that we are His beloved ones and Paul addressed his epistle “Beloved saints”
God had announced that
Jesus was His “beloved Son” but the devil left the word “beloved” Notice the devil dropped
one vital word he said “If you are the Son of God, command
that these stones become bread.”
Why the devil left the word “beloved” He wants you to know that God is
not so loving or doesn’t love you as you think?
Mt. 3:17 says “And suddenly a voice came
from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” The
devil dropped the word “beloved”
Once you know that you are
God’s beloved, you defeated all his plans, evil plots to tempt you.
He will tell you are the
son of the dustbin. He says you are useless good for nothing and unwanted.
Why people
give their lives to sin, when
they feel rejected and unwanted. But
when you know that you are God’s beloved, no temptation can succeed against
them. (you can escape)
The first temptation of
Jesus was to turn the stone into bread.
Is there any law in the OT that says that you cannot turn stones into
bread? No. So what was the devil saying?
When the devil said, “Command
these STONES to become bread” he was in fact, telling Jesus to get His
nourishment from the LAW that was written on STONES. The law cannot provides, it kills you instead
only the Spirit gives life. How true today many receive sermons and messages
from pulpit and has become gradually dry and lack of nourishment from it.
Jesus reply in the spirit:
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God.” But written before this
chapter “This is My beloved Son – in whom I am well pleased.” Every word
of God is the now word “rhema” to us.
This is the word that we are to live by today
as well. And we must hear God say to us
daily. You are God’s beloved through Jesus Christ the head and you the
body. WE are not to live by the Ten
Commandments written and engraved on stones.
There is no nourishment in the ministry of death and condemnation. But God wants us to feed or nourish on the flesh of the
Lamb. Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life.” Fresh Bread from Heaven! Bread of Heaven feed me till I want no more.
ROLL AWAY THE
STONE!
Do you want a life and a breakthrough in 2013? Roll away the stones in our lives!
The Lord told many preachers
today, “Son, your ministry is to roll away the stone.” So that my church will
come out - which I have given them resurrected life already.
Lazarus (the church) has been
resurrected with Him – Jesus is coming that way. You see the resurrection life could not
flow as long as Lazarus was bound behind the stone. Today many believers who have resurrection
life because they have been saved, but they are not experiencing breakthroughs
in their bodies, finances, family lives and careers because they are bound hand
and foot, and trapped behind the stone.
(Stone here represent the LAW). Before the spirit of life, GRACE can
flow, the stone must be rolled away first. Grace miracles will manifest and breakthrough after breakthrough will come because Jesus has come to give us life. The "zoe" life.
The Greek word for "life" is zoe. This is the root
of the English words "zoo" and "zoology." Zoe is used of the state of existing and
being animate which is common to all mankind, whether saved or unsaved. For
example, Paul says to the idol worshipping Greeks at Athens, "The God who
made the world and all things in it...He Himself gives to all life (zoe) and
breath and all things...for in Him we live (zao--the verb form) and move and
have our being" (Acts 17:25-28 NASV
Tell me more about the law – the law brings
death. The law was written on stone.
When the law was given to Moses at Mt. Sinai 2,000 people died 1st
Pentecost 50 days from the Passover, when the Holy Spirit of Grace was given
day of Pentecost in Acts 3,000 were saved. God gave life to 3,000 people when
they are dead in sin. Peter stood up and preached the gospel of grace that day-
the ministry of the Spirit.
2 Cor. 3:7-9 –
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones…. how will the
minis try of the Spirit not be more glorious?
The ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness
exceeds much more in glory.
