Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. Genesis 22:7-8.
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
I Myself provide the Lamb. I tell you not to come before Me empty handed but to bring a perfect unblemished lamb. The lamb took your place to offer the blood that covered your sins. You were not able to do this, none was perfect, unblemished, and pure enough. So I Myself provided the Lamb—a perfect, spotless, eternal One who is still in the center of the throne as one slain from before the foundation of the world that would not only cover your sins, like the blood of sheep and goats, but take them entirely away, as if they had never been. Revelation 5:6, 9. A life for a life and the life is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11.
And in Jesus, that Lamb I provided for you to bring so that you not come empty handed, I gave you everything. Everything you need for life and godliness according to My riches in glory in Christ Jesus. You are not on your own to find your way to Me. You are not on your own to do anything. He is with you always and He is My gift to you. And in Him I gave you Myself and all I have. In Him I gave you My Spirit too.
I made you not apart from Me but as united with Me. Adam left that and went around another jurisdiction and joined himself with an evil spirit but that was not his birthright. Like Esau, he despised his birthright and sold it to another who for a time took your dominion throne but My Son took back the throne of Man and threw Satan down. Revelation 12:10. And now in My Son, to whom all authority has been given, you are reconciled to Me as one again and you are a member of the Body of My Son. You do not need to do anything alone or on your own power now, you have become a conduit of the greatest force and source of power that exists, there is nothing higher.
I have called you into fellowship (partnership) with My Son and in Him you are in Me. You are called into My Kingdom and My glory. I made Him to be wisdom unto you, sanctification, righteousness, and redemption. All of My promises are “YES” to you in Him. So say “amen” through Him to Me. I clothed you in Him—you do not hide from Me naked and ashamed but come with confidence to My throne with your great High Priest who passed through the heavens and opened a new and living way right into the Holy of Holies of Heaven.
I united you to Me in Him. He is the bridge that joins man and God into one. In Him the two natures unite as one, as it was meant to be from the start. We are one. You now do things through Me with Me and in Me on earth and they are also bound in Heaven when we are in agreement acting together.
Yes, even under the old covenant by joining with Me by the blood of the lamb, the shadow of the good things to come, you see Moses parting the sea, bringing down manna, and hitting rocks for water. You can free a nation, part the sea, turn back rivers, part them with your mantle, raise the dead, heal the sick, preach the good news. When you partner with Me and unite with Me, I unleash My power into the earth with you.
The Red Sea would not have parted unless Moses raised his staff but it never would have parted without My authority and power. But I give those I can trust and who are partnering with Me My power.
Tabitha would not have come back from the dead if Peter had not spoken My Word and raised her. The lame man by the beautiful gate of the Temple would never have walked if Peter and John had not unleashed My power by invoking the Name of Jesus and faith that comes through that Name.
I have provided the Lamb, but you must bring Him.
You bear fruit because of Me, but if you refuse to receive the power to bear it, it will never be produced in your life. You will be unfruitful though the power is there to make you so. You only need attached to My Son. Rooted and grounded in Him you can pull into yourself all you need for amazing works of power that bless you and all mankind. I bless you to be a blessing, to bless every family on earth. “It is I who answer and look after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; from Me comes your fruit.” Hosea 14:8.
I give you the power, I give you My Word, I give you the Lamb—do not let these gifts be in vain for you, do not void them out of your life by not returning them, Isaiah 55:10-11. Do not receive My grace in vain. Ask Jesus for a drink. Do not grieve and quench the Holy Spirit, fan the gifts I have given you into flame.
People perish for lack of knowledge. But when they hear the truth of who they are and what they have in Christ, many people reject that and remain in unbelief only doing what they think they can do on their own power and merits. But this was not My plan, I gave you Jesus so you could live YOUR life through HIM. Repent and believe in the good news, renew you mind to My Word, and begin to be who YOU are in Me.
Learn to unite with Me, do not work apart from Me even if you think you are working FOR Me. Do not be trying to live your life FOR Me based on your own performance and goodness. Live it with Me.
Elizabeth the wife of Zachariah said it well, “Thus to me has done the LORD.” She bore the child that was to prepare the way for Jesus. I gave her the power but she bore him. And she took that power by faith. Just like Abraham did.
It is I who am at work IN YOU, both to will and to work for what is good, perfect, and pleasing, but you must work it OUT OF YOU for your salvation with fear and trembling. I equip you but you must use the equipment. I trained David’s hands for battle, and he took up his sling shot and went after the giant, but I directed the stone and knocked him to the ground all through David’s declarations that unleashed My power which no man can take down. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah had to march out against the multitude of the enemy, but they did it singing praise and that unleashed My power to turn back and defeat the enemy. I have given you My full armor but you must put it on. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:10-13.
You must blossom before the fruit. Look at the strawberry plant, the blossom comes first, and that flower filled with fragrance and beauty, then becomes a delicious fruit. The fragrance is released before the fruit comes. The flower of your life has a fragrance that produces fruit. Ephesians 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14. In Psalm 103, David sings, “As for man, his days are like grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes, when the winds has passed over it, it is no more and its place acknowledges it no more.” Psalm 103:15. What is the fruit that the flower of your life will produce? Has produced? Is currently producing?
My Son told you that you will know people by their fruit. Matthew 7:16, 20; Luke 6:44. A tree is known by its fruit. Matthew 12:33. A man speaks from his heart’s abundance and that produces the fruit of his lips, which becomes the meal you are extending to yourself and to others. And all will know who you are by the fruit of your lips and of your works. My Son told you how to bear good fruit, and much of it, “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” John 15:5-8.
I love you. Unite with Me and let Me equip you for every good word and work. Do EVERYTHING with Me and on My power and merits. I did not spare My own Son, but delivered Him over for you all, how will I not also with Him freely give you all things?
