The Word belongs to us

Joh 17:6 I have revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things, whatever You have given Me, are from You. 8 For I have given to them the Words which You gave Me, and they have received them and have known surely that I came out from You. And they have believed that You sent Me.

There you have it – if ever there was a second’s doubt in your mind, regarding the Word – there you have it. “For I have given to them the Words which You gave Me”

The lie that was incorporated through false teaching and unbelief, produced by the devil was this: “those things belonged to the disciples and are not applicable to the church and the believer today:

Hogwash!

Joh 17:20 And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word, 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. 22 And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one, 23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Our Intercessor, Jesus, seated now at the right-hand of the Father, prayed this for us, He confirmed His blessing and His anointing on us, the future believers: “And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word, 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us”

I do not want to be known as just another `Christian` anymore! It is time! I am taking my rightful place as a true believer. I believe the Word of God, I believe that Jesus died for my sin, that through Him I have been made righteous and that all authority, in His name has been made available to me. I take a firm stand against the enemy, no longer will I believe the lie, no longer will I present myself, through doubt and unbelief, as the doormat of a liar and a thief.

Rise up believers, stand firm in your faith and receive the fullness of the promise of the Word. The Word given to us by our Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Act 2:39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Act 3:4 And fastening his eyes on him, Peter with John said, Look on us! 5 And he paid heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk! 7 And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his feet and ankle-bones received strength.

Freely we have received, what do we give the World in return?

It is time to share the truth with the world – we need to give them the Word, Jesus Christ. They are in need of the promise – let us share it with them.
