Now we come to the number four as this is the fourth horse and their riders who were given authority over the earth to kill one fourth of the earth by four means: sword, hunger, death and by the beasts of the earth…… The rider is death and eternal destruction pointing to Hades who follows close behind, Little Person continued on…..
He looked up and asked Uri, which way was the cross of Jesus Christ pointed?
She quickly picked up her head from the notes, and spoke, all over. The four corners of the earth. The north, south, east and west…..
He continued, well, the sacrifice of the Son of God was for the whole world. Right?
Uri looked at him, yeah, why?
Little Person spoke, well, the number four regards the whole earth….. Look at the number four as a global number….. Okay?
Uri agreed, okay.
There are four ways of destruction to cover the earth. But we know who has the keys to death and Hades. So what may come our way on this earth, we know that Death has lost its sting as written in 2 Corinthians 15:55:58:
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
We who are in Christ will not suffer the second death as spoken by our King.
We will reign victorious as with our King.
So, His grace and knowledge of the cross for salvation was for all the world, …..As written in John 3;15-16:
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
There is not one person or animal on this earth that will not face death. The question is not that we will not die but that we will not perish in the second death as written.
That is why if we peek into the fifth seal, we see the martyrs. Those that laid down their lives for the name of Jesus Christ……. They are waiting for all of the saints until the fullness of Christ is met in His body.
But there is no sorrow or pain…. Their garments are white…..
I am speaking of them, but it is us…. His body, the body of our King.
So knowing there will be stuff for us to overcome here…. We overcome this earth and all evil by our faith in our Victor Christ Jesus.
We start to live now as Paul spoke in Philippians chapter 3: 7-11: But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life].
But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled].
For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.
And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];
so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.
So as we continue on this seal,….. we see we are victorious because Jesus Christ is…. However, if we read the letter to the churches in Revelation, the Spirit of the Lord says to us: there are rewards for us who do overcome the world and have a walk that is victorious as He has set the plumbline for us to follow….
God never sets a standard unless He has given us the ways to achieve and adhere to His standard, which is by His Spirit.
The way is not by works but by faith… Faith in the King who has done all for us and will continue to achieve His standard within us by His Spirit…. We must only be obedient and adhere to what Holy Spirit is saying to us…. Whether it feels good or not…. More than likely, it will not feel good to our flesh…. But then again, we live by faith and we have died with Christ… The life we now live we live by faith in Jesus who died for us and loved us as written in Galatians.
I am saying all this because, we pass through the second death….as we believe…. but then there are the seven letters to keep us on His path of overcomers.
We must remember that grace is a strength for us to achieve His fulfillment in us…. Grace is not an excuse to allow our flesh to reign, but instead grace is His means for us to consider or reckin us dead. Then live that out by faith and action…..
These are the scriptures from each of the seven churches telling us the reward to the overcomer… or the victor…..Now, as He is so are in the world.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God, as written in Revelation 2:7.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death, written in Revelation 2:11.
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels, written in Revelation 3:5.
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star, as written in Revelation 2:26-28.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name, as written in Revelation 3:12.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne, as written in Revelation 3:12.
He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son as written in Revelation 21:7.
The biggest note to mark here to be victorious over our selves and the world is by our faith….. and to adhere to each letter in the book of Revelation…..I gave the rewards but there were broken standards of our King by His body in those letters….. He gave the instructions to obey in each letter, even the Philadelphia church…..
The power of Holy Spirit within us brings up to our memory the scriptures we know so we may stand by faith on them. Our King alone strengthens us so we may do all things according to Him.
We may overcome all the world by faith in His strength in us….. We live by faith and not by sight. We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
1John 5:1-5:
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world?
Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
Then as it is written also in 1 John 5:6-12:
This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
For there are three that testify: the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”, as written in John 8:12…… Little Person spoke….. He alone is the light of the world…..His light now dwells in us….. This is His eternal life bestowed upon each of His believers. His light never dies or is quenched…. Light is life and life eternal.
Eternal life has been bestowed upon us and within us. This gift given to us by God in His Son is beyond this world and we should not take Him lightly or His standards.
We do not do the standard. We cannot. Only by His Spirit within us can we try to attain the goal of the prize of the upward call of God found in Christ Jesus alone. He alone gets the glory….
We worship now in Spirit and Truth. It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing. The Words He speaks to us are Spirit and they are life.
I see sometimes that His way for us is to allow Him to fill us up with what we are lacking…..in our humanity.
As we do not try to bring in the finances by our arm, but by our obedience to His instructions from being our Provider. He will lead and provide and we allow Him to fulfill Himself in us. Not by our arm but His.
We ask Him to be our Healer….. Where we lack, He will quicken our mortal bodies by His Spirit…. Thus He is fulfilling Himself as Healer in us.
We go and speak when He says go and speak. We do not go when He says no. There fore in our everyminute life He is being fulfilled as our God and Leader and Guide. All fruit that results from this is His glory and His fame and name…. All righteousness found in me is His alone.
I can go on and on in the fulfillment of His standard within us. Christ in us is our hope of glory.
By asking our Heavenly Father to make the fulfillment of His desire within us as He always calls things that are not into being. Things that are He calls not. …. May Your Son be my righteousness alone and my hope alone and my life and light alone. All else will be shaken for only the eternal will remain.
Am I making sense? He looked at Uri. She shook her head up and down as she was writing.
Okay, we are His body. As the He is our head…. We should be no different then He. If we are truly walking by His Spirit and Word, right?
Uri shook her head up and down in agreement.
She looked up and spoke, Okay, when I ride Prince. I am in charge, If I was not in charge, we would end up in a mess, right?
Little Person agreed.
Well, if you see people who may say they are a Christian but live in the world and like the world….. They are not attached to the Head of Jesus Christ. If they were, they would resemble their separateness to Him.
Right, said Little Person.
This brings me to my last point:
How many times does Jesus Speak, to those who have ears to hear.?
A lot, right? Little Person went on as she shook her head in agreement.
Okay, I saw something in John which I never saw before.
Go to John 6:32-40:
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
“Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away..
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Okay, find the two passages where He says…. You have seen Me but you do not believe…. And all who look but my bible says sees the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life.
We can look and not see…..and we can see and believe….as this is the will of God. Only He can give us the grace to see and then believe.
How many times we have looked and not seen the Son of God or His hand…
Lord, God of Heaven…. We ask for eyes to see and a heart that always believes all You have shown us.
If we believe what He has shown us, we will be established and found in His Truth.
Praise our God forever. There is nothing He forgot or left out.
He has completed His purpose in Christ Jesus and He has called us to be His body.
I mean how cool is our God?
The whole restaurant joined in to thunder sounding: ALLELUIA! Praise be to the Father and praise be to the Son and praise be to Holy Spirit…. Our God, three in One.
His place thundered of His presence through His people just like it was written in the Book of Revelation. All who were there are breathing in the revealing Word of Jesus Christ.
Little Person looked around and for the first time he realized there was a huge crowd listening to him.
He turned beet red. He looked down.
Then Little Person said, if you heard and understood with your heart, this is because you have been given the eyes to see Him and the ears to obey Him….As our King said this comes by our Father in heaven in Matthew 16:17-19:
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Let’s ask Him for the grace to live all we have been shown by His Spirit to the pleasure of our Godhead. After all, God is the One alone who has given us the revelation of His Son Jesus Christ living within us.
They all bowed their heads and prayed.
Little Person said, let’s turn to Roman’s 8:31-39:
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
It is God who justifies.
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[a]
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Little Person raised his head and looked to all of the people.
I do not want you to take what I got for granted. I want you all to study the scriptures and check out His Word. Come and see for your self if these things are true.
We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God…… We must know Him and that is done by knowing His Word…..
Then as we fellowship through His Word by His Spirit, we grow and are being transformed into the image of His Son…. Remember, Christ will be all and in all.
It has been our heavenly Father’s good pleasure to give us His Spirit to dwell within us so we may learn and walk out our salvation…. We are sanctified and are being sanctified unto God into His righteousness and holiness.
His grace is our strength in battle. His Presence is our joy. His Fellowship is to be honored and adored above everything in our lives.
Read His Word. Know Him….
His fulfillment is here…. We also call things that are as if they are because we know the things that are – are not.
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
This is fulfilled in you and me…… May all the people see the voice who is calling them to be, then turn to be known by Him….. He wants to see Himself in all… He wishes none to perish.
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.
Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practices a lie.
I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.
And the Spirit and the bride say “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely, ( Revelation 22:12-17).
Amen!
SELAH!
More to come- God is willing
