Another (2nd) Mustard Seed
It is expedient to repeat what Jesus said about the “mustard seed”.
Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke 18:8 .. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Do you really believe that? If you doubt it, ”where is your faith” as Jesus asked? If you BELIEVE JESUS, it is counted as righteousness on your part. What I am doing is sharing a few “mustard seed” scriptures with you. It is “an exercise” for your spirit similar to “pumping iron” to build muscles. Are you ready to examine another seed scripture? This text also is written in Jesus’ blood. Check it out in your red-letter edition of the Bible. Now don’t be surprised by my characterization of those Words as “blood”. Jesus tells you this himself.
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Do you buy those Words and believe them? If so, you can test yourself with a new “mustard seed”. Sometimes it is hard to get men to focus on a tiny “mustard seed” scripture, because their eyes glide past them quickly as they read. But we will FOCUS OUR GAZE on exactly what Jesus is saying. We will see if it is TRUTH or should we IGNORE it and pretend we can’t understand what he is getting at.
Another mustard seed
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
That is a small sample of the Words in my KJV Bible. I counted 87 words in that text. My bible is rather thick with thousands of words in it. Now when you consider what Jesus is telling us, he is saying, “I am a grave robber”! For everyone who dies, I am calling him (his spirit) to STAND BEFORE ME at Father’s Throne. Every person who dies, I will call, and “all those who come to me I will in no wise cast out”, John 6:37. I will give to them eternal life and THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH”, John 10:27-28! Perhaps you need to READ this again with your EYES OPEN WIDE! Did God give Jesus power to “circumcise” the spirits of men from their skin as they die? Do you have just a tiny bit of faith? Can you trust both the Father and the Son?? God gave EVERYONE TO BE BORN ON EARTH to Jesus as his personal property by the spilling of his blood on a cross, Psalms 2:6-8. He requires that Jesus collect his “pay check” by “calling all the names of FAMILY members as they appear in “the Book of Life” by their number. Every time he pronounces a TRUE HEAVENLY NAME, someone in the pit of hell comes out of his skin and flies away. Men bury or cremate their remains in most cases. This time we will ask Hosea to put this in perspective as the spirit taught him.
Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Please remember that salvation/redemption is a Father/Son “back and forth” game. Jesus calls the names and Father draws their spirits to the Throne. Father can say this in His own Words.
Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
I don’t know about you, but “87 Words” are a tiny sample of all the Words in the Bible. I will take that “second mustard seed” and put my faith in it! After all, Jesus said it!
