The Lord Shall Go Forth Like A Mighty Man;……

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies, ( Isaiah 42:13).

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints, ( Revelation 19:6-8).

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God.

And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.( Revelation 19:11-16).

The fullness of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God is presented…..What happens?

And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh, ( Revelation 19:19-21).

Is there a separation between the Lord and His body when He is presented? Is there a separation between the Lord and His body now as the visible world is revealed and the spiritual realm is hidden? So  we studied that there has been a war from the beginning between God and the ungodly…..That He has been separating a people for Himself ever since Adam…… Well, in Christ we are the acting body of the Holy One. He is working in us and through us…… doing what?

Psalm 149 states: Praise the Lord, Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud in their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment- this honor have all the saints. Praise the Lord!

Our meek and mild Lamb of God is still meek and mild to our Father, God Almighty, but He is ruthless to His enemies. He laid down His life for us to be made new in His resurrected body…… He has said He makes all things new…Now we are to renew our mind to line up with His, the Word of God.  Let us be found diligent.

Did Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords show Himself as Judge during the battles that King David fought? What about WWI? What about WWII? Does He show Himself as Judge now today? What about the future? Yes! Thank God that He has and does now and will until the end of this age!

The Lord has won and won now and later in the final battle….. Praise God that He chose us to be on His winning team….

Are we just to sit by and let injustice be done when we can lift a voice and bring the Judge on the scene? What are we to do now? As darkness tries to snuff and muff the Light of the world, the Word of God from everyone’s knowledge,…. what as the body of Jesus Christ are we to do? Of course, pray and speak Light…. then what?

If we don’t take a stand we are part of the compromise with darkness…… whether it is with our children, our bosses or neighbors even the men that run the current day church…… If the salt looses its flavor, it is no use to anyone….. We have to be salty……. We cannot be with the crowds. We must stand out against the flow of the current age. The Lord stood out when He hung on the cross….. What about us?

Did Jesus Christ ever compromise His stance for His love for God…. with His mom, His family? Did He compromise His stance of who His Father told Him to be and do for increase of finances or His health?

No, He is our Hero. There is no One like our Savior Jesus Christ….. Aren’t we His body? So aren’t we to do the same as He. He has given us all the power of the Holy Spirit to live a godly life for God…. so there would be no compromise or mixture ….. In us is the living Testimony of Jesus Christ, each of member of His body is to represent the fullness of God in this world, which is as written fills all in all. Does the church really believe that? Do we believe that we are new creation and are apprehending that new life in Christ as Christ apprehended us?  

Is it not written that we are along side of the King of kings and the Lord of lords on our white horses. What does that symbolize?

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving…..Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ……

For in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power, (Colossians 2:6-10).

In Him dwells the fullness of God…. What an incredible place that God has bestowed on us…… Can you imagine all there is to gain in Christ… In my eyes, it would be like being in a F-22, a fighter jet, breaking through human bearers and going beyond into our Endless Frontier, our Lord…… and join the speed of light by the power of the Holy Spirit…. Entering in a realm of the Spirit, that we have been invited to live and breath in. Can you imagine the greatness of our God that has been given to us in Christ Jesus……? Come on start your jets and let’s fly into the unknown, but known to Him. Let us live to  be the revelation of our lord Jesus Christ in us and through us…. All things are possible to those that believe.

I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance of the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and fave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all, ( Ephesians 1:16-23).

You choose this day, who will you listen to: The Word of God, the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords…… or man….. I have heard from the pulpits who stand representing God’s mind shoveling a lot of excuses for unbelief to continue to grow rapid in the church….. Excusing the lack of the spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit is waiting to bestow among all of His children.   Has God changed? Has the Holy Spirit gone somewhere since He came to be in His children since Pentecost?  

Has Jesus Christ stopped bestowing gifts of people to His body to help them grow into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the  fullness of Christ…..Did God’s purpose in Christ Jesus change? 

Who benefits from the lack of spiritual gifts and power among the followers of Jesus Christ?   Evil….and those who make gain from the spiritual ignorance of people.  Study the Word and the One who has called you!  Who is bound when the body of Christ is walking and operating in the fullness of the power bestowed upon them?  I hope you know the answer!

We are a heavenly people worshiping a God of Spirit and Might….. or we can stay earthly. As we focus on the earth, we will receive earthly results…. if we focus on Jesus Christ, beholding Him as our all, we will receive heavenly results and gifts and blessings….. Which do you choose today? 

As Paul is instructing us to Jesus Christ and the fullness of God dwells within Him. Now take it to the next step…. We abide in Him…. What a place, a land, so to speak, that have been given to us…. our Endless Frontier….. Then Paul proceeds to admonish us in Colossians 3:1-11: If then you are raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died , and your life is hidden in Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth,( 2 Timothy 2:15).

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge- by professing it some have strayed from the faith…. Grace be with you, Amen, ( 1 Timothy 6:12, 20-21).

Beloved, the waves of the sea are rising high to weaken and wash away….. What can be washed away? Only that which not founded in Christ Jesus and His cross, burial and resurrection…. If we have any false traditions and systems in our belief that is not founded in Christ and our death and burial and rising in Him, all that is not Christ is shaken and washed away….

When we stand, we stand in the whole armor of God….not man’s ways and traditions. Only in Christ do we stand strong against the wiles of the spirit of this age.

Man’s ways and traditions and buildings will not be here. Did not Jesus say the same thing to His disciples when they showed in pride the great building of the temple? Where is it today? What was Jesus’ reply…. Does His reply hold to us today? ( Matthew 24). In John 2, Jesus had just cleaned out the temple…..( can we apply that saying to our souls and spirit ?) and the leaders were appalled at His zeal for His Father’s house and asked Him by what authority did He act. His response in verse 18 was- Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

When the abomination of desolation is revealed before us, will we know what that looks like? Will we be included with the wise virgins that kept their oil flasks full and were prepared for they were watching for when the Son of Man returns? Will we notice any abomination  in a church? Who is the church, are we not the body of Christ? So where will the abomination of desolation be revealed? What would be the opposite of Christ in us, our hope of glory? Those who have ears to hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying……

We can load up with the world’s goodies and then have to realize that we are a double minded Christian…. who is unstable in all our ways, and sort of good for nothing. For let that man suppose he will receive anything from the Lord as James warns us in chapter 1.

The storms that are coming will wash away any man-made laws and traditions that have been put into the system of Christianity…… What was, will be and be again……God doesn’t change, but sometimes man does not either…..

My sheep hear My voice....(Matthew 5).

Yet they will no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not follow the voice of strangers, ( John 10—- Our Shepherd ‘s rod….. His rod is our safety net.)

That we may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with the fullness of God…..( Ephesians 3:18-19).

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all,            ( Ephesians 1:22).

The fullness of the Testimony of Jesus Christ is to be manifested in and by His body….. The above scriptures were not for a future time or different age…. but now…. The Book of Acts reveals the plan of God through the body of Christ which were His followers empowered by the Holy Spirit….. God doesn’t change….. we must step up to the plate of the Lord’s standard today!

We can eat the wrong dainties and loose our place in our inheritance like Esau or we can act in fear and unbelief and die in the wilderness as the Israelites did when they heard the report of the promised land….

These are written for example that we flee from unbelief and slothfulness but run to fly the race of faith in belief of all that God has given us in Christ Jesus and live His full testimony on this earth….. within us, is the ark of God….. Let us treasure the Treasure within and protect our Gift. Let us be with our King in the heavenly places which we are called….. Gain Christ, gain all.

Faith is not believing what we see or feel…. Faith is believing the unbelievable and living the inconceivable. 

When we live so much in Christ, that the unseen realm is more substantial than what we see with our earthly eyes,….we walk in overcoming faith in  Christ Jesus….This is heaven on earth, beloved.

How do we live that we may be allowing Christ to be all and in all, where the fullness of God is accomplished within His body of Christ….. Ask the Lord, He will show you. This is our Heavenly Father’s dream and thoughts toward His Son and His people….. As He called one man Israel and Israel became a nation as His thought is also the same towards our Lord Jesus Christ…… and His body, the nation of the Firstborn.

There is a Thanksgiving Meal in the Plan of God, I pray we partake of His table more than this age, beloved.  We can be a sharpened instrument in the hand of our Lord or we can be dull and set aside from the Lord’s purpose. It is up to you!

Selah!
