And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand. Isaiah 53:10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus said I was always with Him because He always did what pleased Me. And how did His life prove to you I was with Him, pleased with Him, and that seeing Him in action you saw Me? Yes, He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed of the devil for I was with Him.
You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38.
Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. John 15:9-11.
And how did He conclude the passages quoted above?
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. John 14:12.
Now let Me explain to you what you need to know as believers in My Son, you whom I have sealed in My Son by the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13-14, who has regenerated you in My Word, Titus 3:4-7, and made you to be the body of Christ, the Church, upon the earth. 1 Corinthians 12:14-31.
I delighted in Jesus. Why? My Will prospered in His hands. He gave Me the opportunity to minister to the people on earth and reconcile them with Me. He became flesh and tabernacled among you as the Son of Man and exercised His dominion authority that He had because of His humanity to release My love and compassion to the people. It delights Me, it pleases Me, to do good to you and for you. In Jesus I had a field day of flooding the earth with My love in miracles of healing, extraordinary provision, seeking out and saving the lost, comforting and enlightening those living in darkness, casting out the demons that held people captive in illness, madness, and unbelief, and giving people who followed Him the Kingdom even now. He in NO way hindered My grace and My abundant blessings. Satan had no part in Him. He was totally an open door through whom I could flow.
So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:7-10.
His heart was one with My heart and His hands were one with My hands.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30.
In, with, and through Jesus, I was able to do beautiful things in people’s lives and warn them of the dangers of evil and the sin that so easily ensnares you and blocks the flow of My goodness. In Jesus, My delight to be with you could manifest and flow.
And that is what I desire for you as His body on earth today now that He, your head, is back at My right hand and you, in spirit, are seated there reigning with Him. However, as you know, He did not take you out of the world but purposely set you here as members of His body to give Me the same opportunity He gave Me. The opportunity to stretch out My hand in yours to bless and not curse, to raise up and not push down, to set the captives free, to give sight to the blind, to make the lame walk, the deaf hear, the mute speak, and to go about doing good and undoing the works of the devil, in other words to reconcile people to Me by bringing salvation to My people. That is My delight and My Will prospering in your hands.
Please open your heart and let Me cleanse it of all that is given to Satan and sin, let Me qualify you for the inheritance of the saints in Light by the blood of My Son and rescue you from the darkness of realm of all that is contrary to My Word and give Me the opportunity to minister My grace and goodness upon the earth. I do not have that release without you exercising your dominion authority with Me, in Me and through Me. You now are His body on earth.
In His time on earth as one like you, Jesus gave Me the opportunity to exercise My immense power in love to produce goodness and eradicate evil wherever He went. And that is how you now as His body upon earth doing the works He did and greater will flood the earth with the knowledge of My glory as the waters cover the sea. That is how you will be the light of the world so that the people who I send to you will see your good works and give glory to My Son and through Him to Me.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16.
Even for yourself, when you believe in My Son and open your heart to Me I can work miracles in you as well. When you believe that I have given you healing in Him and open your heart by faith to it, you are letting My Will prosper in your hands for yourself. Become the open door by faith for Me to work in you and with you and through you for yourself and others. I want to minister to you and send you out to minister to others. That is what Jesus did with His disciples when He was on earth as one like you.
And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, and to have authority to cast out the demons. Mark 3:13-15.
Give Me the opportunity in your life and through your life to open others to Me as well. If you will note there were many who were not able to receive from Jesus what I wanted to impart to them because they hardened their hearts against Me. I want to work in you and others as I did in Jesus, unhindered by doubt, unbelief, evil, bitter roots, and unforgiveness.
As the body of Christ upon the earth you should be in agreement with your head and offering Me the opportunity to work through, with, and in you unhindered. And that is what this series is about. How you do that with the help of My grace. But it all starts out with a desire to do so. Jesus greatly desired to see My Will done on earth because He knew how blessed, beautiful, and heavenly it would make your lives even now in this proving ground of time if you would open your hearts to salvation in every situation of your life.
Besides manifesting My goodness and love I am also asking you to be like Jesus in an even greater measure, remember Jesus went about teaching, preaching and working miracles of healing, provision, and restoration. He proclaimed My Kingdom was at hand and that it was already within you.
TEACH PEOPLE TO LET ME WORK IN THEM, WITH THEM, AND THROUGH THEM UNHINDERED.
And what are hindrances? Primarily it is a question of where you are focusing your attention. And this will be the next life lesson. For stemming from that are the hindrances of unforgiveness, which is a big blocker to the flow, for it closes your door to Heaven and My Will cannot flow into you. Mark 11:26. Doubt, unbelief, disobedience, rebellion, pride, speaking lies, causing strife, jealousy, anger, resentment, bitter roots, and a critical, judgmental spirit all hinder the flow and again come from the wrong focus in your life. In the Life Lessons to come I will teach you how, by the anointing, grace, and the indwelling Holy Spirit, as a new creation in Christ, you can live free of all those things like Jesus and walk with Me as I work in, with and through you without hindrance. And that is your wide and open, wealthy place in Christ, your promised land and place of rest at all times.
I love you. Let Me do a great work in you for I will cast out every evil work in you and make you a fortress of shalom.
Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21.
