Kingdom 103: He is Alive and Well

I will boldly state that you are misrepresenting the King if you are one of those who wear a cross around your neck or have one on the wall in your home. Why do you focus on Jesus' death? The ambassador Paul made it very clear that King Jesus is sitting on the right hand of His Father. Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens... Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Also, when the Lord Jesus spoke to John on the Island of Patmos, He made it quite clear: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” We serve a living God! Our King confirmed His existence to us: And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
My question is, are you representing a king that is dead, one that you have memorialized with a cross around your neck and on your wall in your place of residence? It stands as a tombstone at your king's death. Religion emphasizes that. I realize that it will be a process to delete that religious mindset that you have embraced for many years. It is deeply rooted. But, in order for you to grow and be effective in the Kingdom, you must detox yourself from that religious concept. If that means changing your associations, then so be it. If that means changing or leaving your present environment, then so be it. Whatever you must to do stay focused on the Kingdom and its message; make it your top priority. In other words...stay focused. By doing so, you will avoid becoming like the church that Jesus spoke of in Pergamos.
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Keep in mind, the church of Pergamos was a church that compromised with religious customs and traditions. But if you stay focused on the Lord God's Constitution, there is a great reward. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’ Never forget that religious leaders have made the Word of God complicated. That gives them job security. They have diluted the Word by their customs and traditions. God made it simple so all could understand, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. He will guide you to all Truth. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. If you have noticed, the Holy Spirit gives the glory to the Son.
As always, remember your greatest asset is your faith in the Lord Jesus (the Word of God).
He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
