LIFE GIVING SONS OF GOD BEAR WITNESS THAT GOD HAS SENT THEM

Working the Works of God

Jesus therefore answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless {it is} something He sees the Father doing; for whatever {the Father} does, these things the Son also does in like manner. (John 5:19, NAS)

What is the Father doing? Ephesians 5:1 says that we are to imitate or mimic God as beloved children of God. We all see God doing wonderful works throughout the earth. God has called us all into good works. Of course in every individual there are unique and specific works shown to us by God. These specific works will witness in a profound way that we are sent by our Father.

In the fifth chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus tells all generations that sons of God will be shown all things which God is doing so that we all may marvel (John 5:20). Everything which God does brings life. As imitators of God we must give life.

I have said that the clarion trumpet call of God is for all to choose life and for those who have chosen life we must also give life. We have been called to rise from the dead and to raise others from the dead. God says that this choice has been given us as sons of God and imitators of God.

It is honorable for sons of God to imitate our life giving God. It is important to honor not only God, our giver of life but also to honor sons of God who give life.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment (choice) to the Son (Also you and I as sons), in order that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. (John 5:21-23, NAS)

The hour has always been NOW for raising the dead. The witness of the works of God is resurrection life. Again, all that God does is life giving. All of creation is longing for the manifestation of the sons of God who like God our Father are life givers. As life giving sons of God are revealed all of creation will come to life.

It is said of Abraham, the father of faith, that he is like God in that he raises the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). God is revealing to us that He has already resurrected all things in His heart. As we open our hearts to see God’s heart, He will resurrect His works in our hearts so that all of the world may know that we have been sent (Apostolic) by God. Remember that God shows His sons all things so that the world may marvel at His loving wonderful works.

But the witness which I have is greater than {that of} John (the Baptist); for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. (John 5:36, NAS)

Obvious works done by our Father in us will attest that the KINGDOM OF GOD is truly in the earth. What an exciting due season! Today is the day of full salvation; now is the accepted time. Choose life.

ACCEPTING THE GIFT OF LIFE

As I was meditating this morning during the fourth watch (3am to 6am), I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Gale, it is to your advantage that I go away.”

John 16:7-13
7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear {them} now.
13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. (NAS)

How in the world could Jesus’ exodus or going away be an advantage to us? Jesus says that I must go so that the Spirit of Truth can come. The Spirit of Truth will convict concerning sin (evil) and righteousness (good) and judgment (choice). The Holy Spirit of truth will fully identify both good and evil and will empower all believers to choose good. Good overcomes evil.

One can readily discern that Jesus by going away was releasing Kingdom of God authority to His church. Most of those looking for Messiah were expecting an earthly immediate Kingdom. Jesus released His Spirit i.e. the Spirit of Christ…the Spirit of truth so that we as kings under the King of Kings and lords under the Lord of Lords could again establish our rightful Kingdom of God dominion in the earth. Glory to God.

Jesus released accountability to the church. What a glorious responsibility! All power and authority has been given to the church. We are to go into the entire world, immersing people into an identity with God our Father, into an identity with God’s Son Jesus Christ and into an identity with the Holy Spirit of Truth.

My spirit rejoices on this RESURRECTION morning as I consider that the same power which raised Jesus from the dead has been made available to all who will believe. I challenge you today to exercise your resurrection authority over every entity which would oppose the resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Please accept the gift of life. Jesus Christ is life and as we boldly declare His life into dead or dying situations…RESURRECTION HAS TO COME!
