When
Jesus had spoken these things,
He
lifted up His eyes to Heaven and said, Father, the hour is come.
Glorify
and Exalt and Honor and Magnify Your Son,
So
that Your Son may Glorify and Extol and Honor and Magnify You.
Just
as You have granted Him Power and authority over all flesh
(All
human kind),
Now
Glorify Him, so that He may give Eternal LIFE
To
all whom You have given Him.
And
this is Eternal LIFE: [it means] to KNOW
(To
perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand)
YOU,
the only True and Real God,
And
[likewise] to KNOW Him, Jesus [as the] Christ, the Anointed ONE,
The
Messiah, whom You have sent.
I
have Glorified You down here on the earth
By
completing the work that You gave Me to do.
And
now, Father, Glorify Me along with Yourself
And
Restore Me to such Majesty and Honor in Your Presence
As
I had with You before the World existed.
I
have Manifested Your Name--
I
have revealed your very Self, Your real self--
To
the people whom You have given Me out of the World.
They
were Yours, and You gave them to Me,
And
they have obeyed and kept Your Word.
Now
[at last] they KNOW and understand
That
all You have given me belongs to You--
Is
really and truly Yours.
For
the uttered words that You gave Me I have given them.
And
they have received and accepted [them],
And
have come to KNOW Positively and in Reality--
To
believe with absolute assurance--
That
I came forth from Your Presence.
And
they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me.
I
AM praying for them.
I
AM NOT PRAYING FOR THE WORLD;
But
for those You have given Me, for they belong to You.
ALL
MINE ARE YOURS,
AND
ALL THAT ARE YOURS BELONG TO ME;
And
I AM Glorified in (through) them--They have done Me Honor,
In
them My Glory is Achieved.
And
[now] I AM no more in the world,
But
these are in the World and I AM coming to You.
Holy
Father, Keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself]
Them
whom You have given Me,
THAT
THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE [ARE ONE].
While
I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name
[In
the knowledge and worship of You],
Those
You have given me I guarded and protected,
And
not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition
[Judas
Iscariot]--the one who is now doomed to destruction,
Destined
to be lost--
That
Scripture might be fulfilled. [Ps. 41:9; John 6:70.]
And
now I AM coming to You.
I
say these things while I AM still in the World,
So
that My Joy may be made Full and Complete and Prefect in them--
That
they may experience My Delight fulfilled in them,
That
My Enjoyment may be Perfected in their own souls,
That
they may have My Gladness within them fulling their hearts.
I
have given and delivered to them Your Word (message);
And
the World has HATED them,
Because
they are not of the World--
Do
not belong to the World--Just as I AM not of the World.
I
do not ask that You will take them out of the World,
But
that you will Keep and Protect them from the Evil [One].
They
are not of the World (Worldly, belonging to the World),
[Just}
as I AM not of the World.
Sanctify
them—Purify, Consecrate, Separate them for Yourself,
Make
them Holy—by the TRUTH.
Your
Word is TRUTH.
Just
as You sent Me into the World,
I
ALSO HAVE SENT THEM INTO THE WORLD.
And
so for their sake and on their behalf
I
sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself,
That
they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made Holy)
In
the TRUTH.
Neither
for these alone do I pray--
It
is not for their sake only that I make this request--
But
also fo all those who will ever come to believe in
(Trust,
Cling to, Rely on) Me through their word and teaching;
SO
THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE
[Just]
as You, father, are in Me and I in You,
THAT
THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US,
So
that the World may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
I
have given them the Glory and Honor which You have given Me,
THAT
THEY MAY BE ONE, [even] as We are ONE:
I
IN THEM AND YOU IN ME,
In
order that they may become ONE and PERFECTLY UNITED,
That
the World may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me,
And
that You have loved THEM [even] as You have loved Me.
Father,
I desire that THEY also who You have entrusted to Me
[Your
gift to Me,] may be with Me where I AM,
So
that they may see My Glory, which You have given Me--
Your
love gift to Me--
For
You loved Me before the foundation of the World.
O
Just and Righteous Father, although the World HAS NOT KNOWN YOU
AND
HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE YOU
AND
HAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED YOU,
I
have known You continually.
And
these men understand and know that You have sent Me.
I
made Your Name know to them
And
revealed Your Character and Your very Self,
And
I will continue to make [You] known,
That
the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them--
Felt
in their hearts--
And
that I [Myself] may be in them. (John 17, AMP)
Belonging
to Christ is not a Religion as men think of Religion--
IT
IS A STATE OF BEING—OF BEING IN CHRIST--
Being
ONE with Christ--
By
the Power of His Spirit living in and through a person.
Then
Christ's Joy will be made Complete in that person.
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
