He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” After looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored. Luke 6:8-10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
What I say to you today is what I say to everyone from the beginning to the end of time. It is three simple words that solve everything in your life and determine your eternity. You can build your life on them and they will solve all your problems and give you a life of excellence, prosperity and joy. Do you know what those words are? It was what brought you to Me as well. You may not have heard them with your ears, but you heard them in your heart and you obeyed.
What are those life-giving, ever living, never ending words?
“Come to Me.”
I say them. Jesus says them. The Holy Spirit says them.
Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. Isaiah 1:18.
I tell you to come when you have done wrong and we will judge it together but once we have judged it together responsibly, then I give you the remedy in Jesus. I have released you from sin justly in Jesus. I put all your sins on Him and He paid your judgment and satisfied your sentence. What did I say to the people of Israel when they had left My Words and their hands were filled with evil deeds of murder and greed, they were praying with hands covered with the blood of their evil deeds. But what did I say to them? Look again and let us break it down.
“Come now.” Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of Salvation. Do not hesitate, do not procrastinate, do not blame others, just come “and let us reason together,” says the LORD, the word translated reason is the Hebrew word yakach (יָכַח), which means to correct, to decide, to judge, it unmasks guilt but invites repentance and cleansing:“Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. Isaiah 1:18.
If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:7-9.
You can come with confidence to My throne and I will make you white as snow. When you sin it does not end there if you come to Me. The day Adam sinned, he hid and refused to come to Me as he was used to doing every day to walk with Me. But I did not leave you all there. I told you I would send the seed of the woman who would crush power of evil in you by giving you a redeemer. Genesis 3:15. The answer to disobedience to My Word was sending you My Word to birth you again as a new creation and cleanse you and make you holy. Yes, My Word became flesh and dwelt among you and cleared you of all sin and wrong doing and reconciled you to Me by giving His life in the flesh to birth you into the Spirit.
And what are His Words from Me to you that He says? Remember, He is My Word and in seeing Him you see Me. We are one, and in Him you too are one with Me.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
And once you are born again in Him as a new creation you have changed your nature (born again in My image and according to My likeness, free from sin and filled with love and grace), your destiny (not the sentence to the dust of eternal death, but a glorious future and hope in My awesome Kingdom), your position (seated above with Me in Jesus), and your benefits (Psalm 103:1-5). And you receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in your born again spirit and you are clothed with power from on High.
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-39.
And once Jesus died for your sins and I raised Him up for your justification and He returned to Me in glory (with you with Him who are in Him) and He poured out the Spirit upon you. You are anointed with the same anointing as Jesus, which is the anointing with the oil of joy. My joy is your strength. And what does the Holy Spirit say?
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Revelation 22:17.
Come. And how do I respond? I came down in Jesus and saved you, forgave you, blessed you, and favored you. And I will return in Him a second time to catch you all up to the Kingdom with Me.
He (Jesus) who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20.
Everyone who calls on My Name and the Name of Jesus is saved. I send you Salvation now and forever. He came the first time to die for your sins and reconcile you to Me. He came and gave His life as ransom. He paid the judgment that was on all of you as descendants of Adam that none of his descendants could pay and He took and satisfied the sentence against you. He nailed all your debts to the cross and paid by His life, for the life is in the blood and it is what makes atonement on the mercy seat. And now He will come a second time to complete the gift of redemption with a glorified eternal body for each of you who have come to Me through Him, for He makes it as if sin had never been.
In the first chapter of the Words I gave My prophet Isaiah, I was addressing the apostasy of My people in turning away from My Words. Like Adam and Eve all the troubles in people’s lives are from not believing what I say is true and not acting in accordance with My Words. This is what all evil in the world extends from. As horrible as they be, it is not murder, stealing or other actions in themselves that define sin. Sin is not believing My Word and acting contrary to it. Think about it. Everything that is wrong in the world and has cut people’s lives short are things done contrary to My Word. In Heaven, everything is according to My Word because that is the way everyone’s heart is turned who is there and there is no evil, corruption, death, illness, or harm anywhere on My holy mountains. And that is the only criteria to enter the Kingdom. Come to Me and listen, do what I tell you, and live the life that is life indeed.
“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your well-being (shalom) would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” Isaiah 48:17-18.
Jesus told the disciples remaining with Him in the upper room on the night of the last Passover meal He participated while among you according to the flesh (Judas had already left to go to the priests to lead them to Jesus that night) that they were clean (purged of evil) by the Words He had spoken to them. John 15:3. And I tell you that Jesus continues to cleanse you with My Words as members of His body, the Church.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:26-27.
The more of My Word you fill your heart with the better your life will be.
Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all. Luke 6:17-19.
They came to HEAR His life-giving words that gave them faith, for faith come by hearing so that you know what you have which I have given you freely, and be healed.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13.
They found that there was healing power that poured out of Jesus that healed all. That power is now in you for it is My Holy Spirit in you that quickens your mortal body and transforms you into your new and glorious body when the time comes for the catching away of the Church. Romans 8:11; John 14:16-17. And you are to release that power of the Spirit in you by casting out demons and laying your hands on the sick so they are healed. Mark 16:17-18. You can be so full of Me by My Spirit in and on you that, rooted and grounded in Christ (love), like Peter and Paul even your shadow or cloths touched to your body heals those touched and drives out demons.
You must be filled with the Holy Spirit and My Words and give Satan has no place in you to be constantly in a healed and whole state. John 14:30, Ephesians 4:27. Give no part of you to do evil, even by worry, fear, or anger, because if you open your door to him he will steal, kill, and destroy your miracle, your health, your healing, and your life.
The foolishness of man ruins his way, and his heart rages against the LORD. Proverbs 19:3.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” He disobeys and harms his body with gluttony, alcohol, drugs, carousing, jealousy, anger, offense, gossip, and the like and then rages against Me when he can no longer function successfully on his or her own.
But what is My response? Come to Me. I can fix it all.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16.
Jesus is the BIG FIX for everything in your life that went wrong. Why? He is My Word. And if you listen and obey you will eat the good (the best) of life.
Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obey, you will eat the best of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 1:18-20.
It is the Sword of the Spirit, My Word, it is a two-mouthed sword, living and working that will turn your life around and let you back into the Garden of Eden.
So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden and He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. Genesis 3:24.
Remember all evil and sin came in from doubting My Word and doing what I say not to do. Jesus came to save you, not to judge you, but there is a judgment, even for believers for your reward, and it is simply how well your life lines up with My Word.
And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:44-50.
I love you so much that I have given you everything for I have in order to keep you with Me always. I have given you My Word and My Spirit. Isaiah 59:21. That is covenant and it is forever. You just have to come to Jesus to receive.
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9-13.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and I will restore your fortunes.” Jeremiah 29:11-14.
