But
you shall receive Power—ability, efficiency and might--
When
the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
AN
YOU SHALL BE MY WITNESSES
In
Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria
And
to the ends—the very bounds—of the earth. (Acts 1:8, AMP)
Witnesses
of what?
Witnesses
of the Life that Christ has called us to
Witnesses
of the Kingdom of God living within us;
Of
Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.
And
Witnesses of the Power of that Life;
Doing
the Works of Christ and even greater Works.
Christ
Jesus said, 'I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No
one comes to the father except through Me.
If
you really knew Me, you would know My Father as well.
From
now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.'
Philip
said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.'
Jesus
answered: 'Don't you know Me Philip,
Even
after I have been with you such a long time?
ANYONE
who has seen Me has seen the Father.
How
can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
Don't
you believe that I AM IN the Father,
And
that the Father is IN Me?
The
words I say to you are not just My own.
Rather,
it is the Father LIVING IN ME, Who is doing His Work.
Believe
Me when I say that I AM IN the Father and the Father is IN Me,
Or
at least believe on the Evidence of the Miracles themselves.
I
tell you the Truth,
ANYONE
who has Faith in Me will do what I have been doing.
He
will do even greater things than these,
Because
I AM going to the Father.
And
I will do whatever you ask in My Name,
So
that the Son may bring Glory to the Father.
You
may ask Me for ANYTHING in My Name, and I will do it.
'IF
YOU LOVE ME, YOU WILL OBEY WHAT I COMMAND.
And
I will ask the Father,
And
He will give you another Counselor to be with you FOREVER--
The
Spirit of Truth.
The
World cannot accept Him,
Because
it neither sees Him nor knows Him.
But
you know Him, for He lives WITH YOU
And
will be IN YOU [after The Day of Pentecost].
I
will not leave you as Orphans; I will come to you.
Before
long, the World will not see Me anymore, but you will see Me,
Because
I live you also will live.
ON
THAT DAY [The Day of Pentecost] you will realize
That
I AM IN My Father, and you are IN Me, and I AM IN you.
Whoever
has My Commands and OBEYS THEM,
HE
IS THE ONE WHO LOVES ME.
He
who love Me will be loved by My Father,
And
I too will love him AND SHOW MYSELF TO HIM.
Then
Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said,
'But
Lord, why do you intend to show Yourself to us
AND
NOT TO THE WORLD?'
Jesus
replied,
'If
ANYONE loves me, HE WILL OBEY MY TEACHING.
My
Father will love him,
And
WE will come and make our HOME with him.
He
who does not love Me WILL NOT OBEY MY TEACHING.
These
words you hear are not My own;
They
belong to the Father Who sent Me.
'All
this I have spoken while still with you.
But
the counselor, the Holy Spirit,
Whom
My Father will send in My Name,
WILL
TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
And
will remind you of EVERYTHING I have said to you.
PEACE
I leave with you; My PEACE I give you.
I
do not give to you as the World gives.
Do
not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
(John
14:6-27)
MANY
ARE INVITED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. (Matthew 22:14)
I
believe that God Almighty Invites EVERYONE,
But
only a FEW will OBEY HIS COMMANDS.
And
only those who OBEY HIS COMMANDS are CHOSEN;
Only
those who OBEY HIS COMMANDS, love Him.
We
are FISHERS OF MEN and WOMEN,
We
WITNESSES the Life and Works of Christ Jesus,
To
see, who among the MANY, will OBEY THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST.
Christ
Jesus warned us all:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's 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!
