Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip?” John 14:9.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
People don’t know Me and they are perishing because of that. They see My works all around them but they do not know My ways. My ways are lovingkindness, faithfulness, and truth. I delight in doing good to you. I love it when My Will prospers in your hands. You honor Me when you take hold of My Word and command it into the earth.
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4.
Beloved, I desire above all that in all respects you prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. 3 John 1:2-4.
Because you do not understand My heart you never enter My rest. You make things that are so easy so hard and complicated. And yet I created you to be in My rest with Me. I gave you dominion over the works of My hands. I showed you in Jesus how you can be. He commanded things. He took down the strongholds of evil and built edifices of grace upon them.
“What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the chief stone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’” Zechariah 4:7.
Jesus is not someone outside of you that you are trying to please or get ahold of to do a miracle for you, He is in you doing everything with you by the Spirit. I have called you to a partnership in fellowship with My Son, 1 Corinthians 1:9, which makes you as one with Me in Him. You can command a miracle and it will come to pass if you only believe. ALL things are possible for those who believe in My Word as truth, all My magnificent promises, as many as they be, are “yes” to you in Jesus. Do you still not understand? It is time for you to stop crying and begging and step up to command. You can change the world right from where you are by worship in Spirit and truth in the Holy of Holies where you are seated in Jesus at My right hand in the seat of dominion authority of the Son of Man.
Do you still not understand? You really do not know who you are. You do not understand how and why you were created. You have missed the greatness of your calling and settled for crawling in the dirt in fellowship with the devil and calling that humble.
Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:2.
Do you not understand that you are with Me always and EVERYTHING I have is yours? Luke 15:31. It has PLEASED Me to give you the KINGDOM. Luke 12:32.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11.
I do not think you truly understand the power I have entrusted to you or you would use it.
Let Me give you an example, for I want you to have this confidence in Me that what you say that is in accordance with My Word of power even I will obey. I withhold nothing from those who know the power of My Word in their mouth spoken in faith and acted upon in love. It does not return to Me void but achieves the purpose for which I sent it. Be bold with My Words, I have put them in your mouth and My Spirit upon you and this is My Covenant with you. Filled with My Word and My Spirit you can bring Me right down to the earth to fight with you and take down the enemy, to take down the mountains that block your miracle. You can put Me on your side by your words of faith. That is what Jesus meant when He said He only spoke My Words because He knew they had eternal life in them. And in His mouth they produced the same in all He reached His hand out to do. Mountains moved, storms stopped in their tracks, bread multiplied, soldiers fell to the ground, and fish swallowed coins they then brought to shore.
Let Me give you an example of what I am telling you. Consider Mary. She understood My ways. She learned them in My Word and in My Word made flesh. When she had the revelation from My angel Gabriel that her mission was to bring the long awaited Messiah into the world she spoke in agreement and joined in partnership with the Spirit in combining the substance of her faith with the Word spoken that became the child born and the Son given on whose shoulder dominion rests. God with you. And she watched in love and treasured all in her heart as she saw prophecies fulfilled and mysteries unveiled before her eyes. So when at the wedding in Cana the wine ran out, her heart went out to the bride and groom and their embarrassment on their beautiful wedding day to have no more wine for the wedding feast. She turned to Jesus and made the need known. He simply told her that was not His concern for His time was not yet. But she did not take a “no” answer, she knew that in Him My answer is “yes” to the need that she required in love for the bride and groom to have nothing missing on their wedding day. So she hastened the time and turned it into a beautiful sign of the marriage feast of the Lamb that would take place on the third day to which you are all invited.
May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine. Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; therefore the maidens love you. Draw me after you and let us run together! The king has brought me into his chambers.” “We will rejoice in you and be glad; we will extol your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.” Song of Songs 1:2-4.
It was her faith that moved Me to act even though Jesus had first resisted. She would not take no for an answer where I had spoken “yes.”
And you can and should do the same.
“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.” Job 22:28.
Just because you meet some resistance, if what you are asking for is good and beneficial and in keeping with My Word, you can move a mountain.
And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Mark 11:22-24.
But let Me clarify something here, as you speak to the mountain to move and your faith moves in upon that mountain to take it down, it is not your power or might but by My Spirit, by My strong arm, that moves it, but it is your faith with thanksgiving that releases, and, in fact, impels Me to move on your behalf. It is the irresistible force of faith that connects to My power and pulls it right out into operation in you and for you and those you pray for. And that was what the woman did who had hemorrhages for 12 years that no human efforts had been able to cure, by faith she pulled that power right out of Me and directed it to herself to heal.
When you live close to Me, and I mean you are leaning on Me and looking at Me all the time, you learn of the love and delight I have in you. You learn that in Jesus I have purified you and made you sinless and beyond reproach before Me and suddenly you are no longer crawling on your knees begging Me to forgive and love you but sitting boldly at My side in Jesus and letting Me know everything that concerns you so that I direct your life where to go and what to do at every moment. I am not resisting you, I am reaching out constantly to bless you, help you, and do the impossible for you. Life becomes a flow of answered pray as you refer everything that concerns you to Me. I can make you a success when you take command by My Word and by My Spirit.
I love you more than you can ever fathom it is so very great. I want you to know you are loved and that every desire of your heart that is lined up with My Word can and will be done if you just stand up and use your faith.
