ONLY AS I AM TAUGHT BY GOD
Word For Today: April 12, 2020: BUT ONLY AS I AM TAUGHT BY GOD AND GET HIS ORDERS!
Beloved of the Lord,
Jesus says these words in John 5:30 AMPC
30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
This is such a dynamic truth that I believe many Christians leaders and people miss. Jesus never experimented. He never tried to build a model or prototype... HE WAS THE MODEL.. HE IS THE PROTOTYPE OF WHAT A TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS.
He said, "I am able to do nothing from myself. He knew the Torah. He knew what was said about him in prophecy, so why NOT as soon as He was old enough try to do all that was written about him?
Have you ever thought about that? He was the deliverer, the healer, the provider, the one who commissioned the apostles when he was 12, 13, 20, 25, 27 years old all the way up to 29. Yet he did not do one thing the Torah said about him yet?
Well the Torah says He could do all these things, will do all these things. So why a specific time? Why a specific season? Why such a dependence upon "hearing his Father moment by moment and only doing exactly what the Father said, when He was told to do it?
Didn't Jesus have to learn obedience as the son of God through the things He suffered? Imagine having the power to cure everyone on planet earth, feed everyone on planet earth, remove all suffering and pain on planet earth in his own power and not use any power or ability on his own.
He continues to say, " but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision],"
Does that not imply a "speaking God" a "speaking Father" who was constantly speaking to Jesus what to say and what to do. Notice he says, "BUT ONLY AS I AM TAUGHT BY GOD AND GET HIS ORDERS.
Isaiah 50:verses 4 and 5 speak of a "continued communication with God as the source of power and releasing from God in heaven on the earth at the right time, right place to the right person with results.
There is no assumption. There is no taking of the words of the Torah and trying to work them in your own power or strength, but only speaking and moving as the Holy Spirit directs you.
4 [The Servant of God says] The Lord God has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught].
5 The Lord God has opened My ear, and I have not been rebellious or turned backward.
Trying to build a prototype or model of the kingdom of God will never work, because it can't be replicated it can only be lived.
The true Kingdom of God people, government that is going to be established on the earth requires a continued hearing from God, leading from God and only doing exactly what God says when he says to do it.
Notice where the "tongue of the learned" is given from. The Lord God HAS GIVEN ME... IT IS FROM GOD.. THE TONGUE OF THE LEARNED (DISCIPLE).. OR KNOW WHAT TO DO.. ' AS ONE WHO HAS BEEN TAUGHT... INSTRUCTED, GUIDED BY THE VOICE OF GOD HIMSELF. BECAUSE IT IS FROM GOD AS JESUS HEARD THE VOICE SPEAK TO HIM... IT SAYS.. THAT I MAY KNOW HOW....
THAT I MAY KNOW HOW TO SPEAK.... BECAUSE I AM TAUGHT BY GOD CONTINUALLY IN THE SPIRIT.. WHAT DOES HE SPEAK?
A WORD IN SEASON... NOT OUR SEASON, NOT OUR UNDERSTANDING, NOT OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE SCRIPTURES AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM WORK BECAUSE WE SAY SO....
BUT I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK A WORD (IN POWER AND AUTHORITY(IN SEASON) TO THEM THAT ARE WEARY...
Beloved, how did Jesus live his life and do the works of the Father on this earth.
He did it perfectly because He was taught continually and guided continually by the Father's voice and will. Jesus was in continuous communion with the Father because they were one.
Isaiah continues to say in verse 4 "He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught]"
Notice HE.. GOD WAKENS ME MORNING BY MORNING.. HE WAKENS MY EAR TO HEAR AS A DISCIPLE, AS ONE WHO HAS BEEN TAUGHT.
Why did Jesus pray all night? Why did he get alone with His father.. to hear continually what the Fathers was saying and getting his instructions perfectly from him.
Jesus said, "30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders].
Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will
[I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
Jesus says "as the voice comes to me, so I give my decision and it is right because I am not BUILDING A PROTOTYPE OR MODEL OF THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD. I AM THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD AND IT IS UPON MY SHOULDERS.. AND I WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOU MUST ESTABLISH IT IN THE SAME.... IN THE SAME MANNER THE FATHER HAD ME TO DO IT...
Verse 30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders].
BUT ONLY AS I AM TAUGHT BY GOD.. NOTHING FROM MY HUMAN INTELLECT...INDEPENDENT FROM HEARING MY FATHER PERFECTLY... BUT I ONLY DO AS I AM TAUGHT BY GOD AND GET HIS ORDERS.
Psalm 32:8 speaks of this same Kingdom reality truth we need to truly get a hold of or we will try to build the kingdom governmental order with our own wisdom or with a mixture of the flesh and spirit that will be removed or have to be totally refined to remove the flesh in it.
Verse 8: I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me.
Beloved when Jesus was baptized in the Holy Spirit he was led into the desert to be tempted. What was the temptation: TO WORK THE WORD OF GOD IN HIS OWN POWER AND STRENGTH. TO TRY TO DO THE WILL OF GOD IN HIS OWN WISDOM AND WITHOUT 100% RELIANCE UPON THE FATHER.
Satan's plan was to SEVERE THE ONENESS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JESUS AND THE FATHER AS HE SUCCESSFULLY SEVERED THE FIRST ADAM RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER TO ACT INDEPENDENTLY FROM GOD.
JESUS REFUSED AND OVERCAME THE TESTING FOR 40 DAYS AND NIGHT AND HE NEVER ONCE DID ANYTHING ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY OR POWER. HE SPOKE AND OVERCAME THE DEVIL BY THE FATHER'S WILL, VOICE AND POWER IN HIM AS ONE WITH HIM.
JESUS SAID TO SATAN.. MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE... BUT BY EVERY WORD.... (and this is where we miss it) THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD..
John 5:30 Verse 30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders].
BUT MAN SHALL LIVE BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.. JESUS DID NOT SPEAK THESE WORDS FROM HIMSELF, BUT THE FATHER GAVE HIM THE WORDS TO SPEAK TO OVERCOME SATAN.
He said to his disciples "the works I do, you shall also do, and even greater works you shall do because I go back to the Father."
When Jesus said, "it was written" He was the oracle of God, speaking only and exactly the words the Father gave him to speak to overcome the devil." He did it perfectly.
The Bible tells us after Jesus was baptized and filled with the spirit he... was led by the spirit.. into the desert.. but after he overcomes the devil by the voice of the Father in him.. he comes out.... IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT.. THEN HE BEGINS HIS MINISTRY.
THE MINISTRY HE DESCRIBES TO THE PHARISEES WHO ASK HIM IN JOHN CHAPTER 5 BY EXPLAINING ONENESS.. ONENESS WITH THE FATHER... THAT HE COULD NEVER DO A THING THAT THE FATHER WAS NOT DOING.. HIS LIFE REFLECTED PERFECTLY THE FATHER'S LIFE ON THE EARTH PERFECTLY.
John 5: 19 So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].
20 The Father dearly loves the Son and discloses to (shows) Him everything that He Himself does. And He will disclose to Him (let Him see) greater things yet than these, so that you may marvel and be full of wonder and astonishment.
Verse 30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
Beloved, Jesus is not a prototype. He is not modeling the Kingdom. He is the Kingdom, the King of the Kingdom. He is the witness of the Father upon the earth, his exact representation.
WE ARE TO BE JESUS WITNESSES UPON THE EARTH AS HIS EXACT REPRESENTATION.
WE MUST STOP TAKING THE WORD OF GOD OFF THE PAGES AND TRYING TO DO THEM IN OUR OWN STRENGTH AND POWER WITHOUT GOD QUICKENING THEM, BREATHING ON THEM FOR US TO DO AND TO DO THEM IN THE RIGHT TIMING, THE RIGHT PLACE AND WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO GET THE RIGHT RESULTS.
Jesus did not try to make the prophecies about him happen by him saying so or by his own efforts. He did not do one thing because the Torah said so.
Did Jesus try to work and act independently from the Father because he read his father's words. NO HE DID NOT!
Jesus makes it so plain. I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord—but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders].
Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision],
and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will
[I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
Isaiah 50:4 4 "He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught] THAT I MAY KNOW HOW.. KNOW HOW... TO SPEAK.. TO SPEAK.. A WORD IN SEASON... IN SEASON.. TO THOSE WHO ARE WEARY.
Again John 5:19-20 19 So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].
20 The Father dearly loves the Son and discloses to (shows) Him everything that He Himself does. And He will disclose to Him (let Him see) greater things yet than these, so that you may marvel and be full of wonder and astonishment.
These truths are not prototypes to try or models to build. These truths ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIFE JESUS GAVE TO LIVE IN US.
WE CAN'T TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE CAN'T USE HUMAN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO TRY TO BUILD A KINGDOM FOR GOD. WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF GOD, CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
Luke 17:20-21 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
The scriptures I am sharing with you are the "functioning power of divine oneness with God where the speaking God is teaching and instructing you in the ways we must go, and He is guiding us with his own eye.
That is the divine kingdom seed Jesus perfected in his body and blood. It is the very kingdom seed of that perfected life of oneness with the Father he places in our hearts when we are saved. The kingdom of God is within us.
The kingdom of God life to be lived in us on planet earth can only be done through the Father's love for us and the sacrifice of Jesus own life forgiving us and then planted in our own hearts.
John 17: 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou loved me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Beloved 5 fold ministers we are not to build a prototype kingdom of God, or a model of the Kingdom. Jesus is the Kingdom of God and that Kingdom lives in us and is ready to be lived in us fully as the day of the Lord is revealed and manifested on the earth.
Romans 8:15 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Let me close out by repeating John 5:30 and may the Spirit of the Living God, break every false yoke of bondage and slavery keeping us from hearing the truth of these words.
Father we bind and break every driving and lying spirit trying to take logos word of God and doing it in the flesh and calling that God when it is not. We ask you to forgive us where we have done that and given up when it did not work out how we thought.
Lord wash in your blood and give us clean hands and a pure heart to worship you in Spirit and Truth. Let your kingdom come in us and let your will be done in us, on the earth as it is heaven.
Much love always!
