"If you are waiting on me, then you are backing up" part 3

Greetings, in the name of the Lord,
Well, we have covered a little ground, the past few days. I trust our feet are healing:_) My toes, too, have been stepped on, a bit. I continue, in the effort to stretch you, spiritually, and motivate you to dig into God's Word. By the view point of this writer, We are NOT waiting on God. I conclude this topic by taking you to the end. The end of the, Word walking with us. This is also our (the church) beginning. After the resurrection and before Jesus ascended to the Father, the last time, Jesus left very direct instruction, for us. This has been labeled The Great Commission. This is so imperative for Christians to grasp. We have seldom been taught it's depth and breadth. Mostly this has been watered down a bit and made to sound like what we want it to sound like, so that we feel like we are alright. I'll attempt to show a different light on this than what I was taught in the traditional church body. Hopefully a perfect light and one that will compel all to search their hearts.
We often sit and wait on something to happen, so that we may react to that, when we should act and wait only for the manifestation of God's glory. Simply, we are more comfortable reacting than acting. Think and pray on these things, I am sure most have overlooked a few things our Lord has told us to do, this writer included. Let's look in the Word to see what Jesus told us.
Jesus said, to them(us)
Peace be unto you. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Receive you the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins you retain, they are retained.
John 20:21-23
I'd say this means for us to do as Jesus did, wouldn't you? Just as He was sent(By God)we are sent (By Jesus).Do you know the Holy Ghost? Forgiven any sins in the name of Jesus, lately? Done anything else, that Jesus did? I hope so and if not, God's an on time God. Exercise your faith with the release of love and do God's work. It is not too late.....yet. We MUST do as instructed, less we be not His.
Also, said He, just before heaven received Him up;
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16: 17-18
I believe we have much work to do.Please notice, the text does not say; they may recover. It says, "they SHALL". We are not waiting on God! The signs follow us, not God. He has already put the proof in the pudding. We must serve the pudding.We will not be stricken by the world or it's afflictions!Now this doesn't mean we avoid tribulation. That is not what is said here. Jesus says we will have tribulation. I'm saying, No deadly thing, will hurt us. Even if we consume it. Did you hear? Glory to God. Do you want this promise? Of course. Will you do this work and take this identity? Let us pray.
Matthew's account; Jesus said,
All power, is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Since this is so;
Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. I will always be with you, even unto the end of the world.
Matthew 28:18-20
He will ALWAYS be with us. He said it! Why we acting all pitiful and unaware, It's a promise! I repeat, DO YOU BELIEVE? What do you fear? Why?
Teach any? Baptise any? Any power, about you or your ministry? It is there(here), for us. Already performed, already delivered and already promised. Yet, maybe not received, huh? I ask again.....Do you believe? The ONE, with ALL POWER, lives in you! Can the world see Him? You know we have to get ourselves out of the way, don't you? We can follow no agenda, unless it is His. Any other is not righteous, but sin.
from Luke 24: 47-49
Repentance and remission of sins should be preached, in Jesus' name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry in Jerusalem until you have been endued with power from on high.
There is more to this, I believe. Jerusalem is symbolic of home. We must get our home and our living environment in order! Start at home! With this a blessing (promise) will come. But, stay at home until you are endued with power(promise). Then spread out, go and tell, all nations.
It churns out like this; Can you be trusted to do what God last told you to do? Why do we wait? Do we think God's going to give us a new task, a different word, or something we'd rather hear? WE NEED NOT WAIT! Brothers and sisters, WE MUST DO.
Or we are truly backing up.
We've done been told, delivered, healed, commissioned and yes......forgiven. We are a part of the Royal Priesthood and joint heirs with Christ. Can we show it a little? Can we say amen? That getting to one mind and one accord thing, it's not just with one another. We need to pursue being of one mind with God. That is impossible unless we obey.
power from on high....don't leave home without it




Peace and love be with you all. This is a commission for all believers! We cannot wait on the church to do it and must not be deceived, thinking God is going to. He, in us, can. You decide the will. Life can be just as He said. Please allow God to work His perfect Will, in your life.




Minister like Jesus
I dare you
