Peace.
Jesus WAS (became) dead and IS ALIVE now and forevermore so that we might have His everlasting life in this earth. We must believe that He IS…. “I AM”…..I EXIST. Jesus IS RISEN so that we might have His risen life now for now is the day of our salvation.
Revelation 1:18 KJV
(18) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
How many still believe like Martha did. If Jesus WAS HERE, then we would not be dying.
Martha: if you (Jesus, Lord) had been here, my brother would not have died.
Jesus: “I AM”…. the resurrection and the life and the life. He that believes INTO me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
Conclusion: Jesus IS as He IS ALIVE NOW so that we might have His eternal life NOW in this earth as His life IS COMING in our mortal flesh. We must also “become dead” to sins so that His life shall be made manifest in our outer man (our mortal flesh) so that we might live forever with His life.
John 11:21-22 KJV
(21) Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
(22) But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
(23) Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
The Marthas of today: I know that we shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day
(24) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
But Jesus says to such: “ I AM” (I EXIST) the resurrection and the life…..
(25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Whosoever lives and believes INTO me shall never die……can we believe this?? Is this such a hard saying that many will turn away and depart?
(26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
See how Martha really does not confess that Jesus IS the “I AM” in her response: I had BELIEVED (Greek: believed) that you are the Christ, the Son of God which should come into the world.
(27) She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe (believed) that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Then she departs…..she went her way. How many will hear and continue to go their own way thinking their own thoughts and not receiving His thoughts on the matter?
John 11:28-29 KJV
(28) And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Let us not be ashamed of the Teacher’s words…His testimony….and depart.
We must be like Mary and believe that the Master (Teacher) is HERE (the I AM) and summons us. Mary heard that news and “rose quickly” and came unto Him. We must also hear and “awake” from our sleep and come to hear the Teacher as He summons us.
(29) As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Let us KNOW THE TIME that NOW is the Day of our salvation. Men have been preaching something different (we have to “die and go to heaven” ….getting resurrected later when Jesus IS the I AM….He IS the resurrection now).
Men are seeking to “change the time” of our salvation on us by preaching their dying hope when it is a LIVING HOPE for us now. We must KNOW THE TIME. NOW is the time to “awake out of sleep” and put on the Lord Jesus Christ and not make provision for the flesh...acting out in envy, strife, hatred of one another, etc. We must put on His life now which is incorruptible...which is immortal. This corruptible and mortal MUST put His incorruptible and immortal life on now. We must put on the Heavenly Man now. This is a NOW thing.
Romans 13:10-14 KJV
(10) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
(11) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
(12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
(13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
(14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
We PUT ON Jesus as His life appears outwardly in our mortal flesh as if wearing clothes outwardly for others to see.
When the life of Jesus appears in our outer man (our mortal flesh), then the nations of this world shall see His appearing glory in us and will praise the Lord. We shall sing His praises in overwhelming joy as we receive His eternal life in this earth and the nations of the world will join along with us in His praise as they see Him appear outwardly, visibly in us.
Romans 15:9-13 KJV
(9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
(10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
There shall be a root of “Jesse”. “Jesse” means “God EXISTS or gift of God”.
The appearing life of Jesus in us shall be seen by this world and they shall seek Him as they see the gift of God: eternal life appearing in us. They shall see the proof that there is a God (I AM…He EXISTS) through us and will praise Him as the “root of Jesse” is rising to reign over the nations of this world.
(12) And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
(13) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
We are to use the power of the Holy Spirit within us to deaden or “kill” the deeds of the body….the living after the flesh….the sowing according to the flesh…envy, strife, hatred of one another, covetousness, etc.
IF we “mortify” (deaden) the deeds of the body, we shall LIVE…..and that life is the appearing eternal life of Jesus in our mortal flesh. The Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead shall ALSO quicken (make alive with eternal life) our MORTAL BODIES by His Spirit that dwells in us.
BUT, we must use the power of the Holy Spirit to kill the deeds of the body so that we may also live by that same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead. We must believe…. I AM: the resurrection now.
Romans 8:10-14 KJV
(10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Even after we have received His Spirit but still continue to live after the flesh, we shall die from this earth without the life of Jesus appearing in our mortal bodies which would have given us His eternal life now…for salvation is now.
(13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
(14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The Spirit of God will NOT always strive with man who continues to live after the flesh (he is also flesh). We MUST slay the works of the flesh….the envy, the strife, the hatred, etc….so that we may LIVE in this earth with the eternal life of Jesus. We will perish from this earth if we continue to live after the flesh and not after His Spirit.
Genesis 6:3 KJV
(3) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
The flesh and the Spirit are contrary to one another. We must choose to live after the Spirit so that we may LIVE NOW in this earth and the nations shall see His appearing life (the banner: I AM the resurrection and the life) of which they shall seek after Him.
Galatians 5:16-17 KJV
(16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
(17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But the scoffers in the churches of men will hear this and continue to walk after their lusts….continuing to live after the flesh and not after the Spirit.
2 Peter 3:3-9 KJV
(3) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
The scoffers: WHERE is the promise of His coming? Where is the appearing eternal life of Jesus in this earth as all have died from the beginning of the creation.
(4) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
(5) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
But they are willingly ignorant that by the Word (SAYING) of God (And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh…) , the world that was, perished with water that overflowed them (the Flood).
(6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
By the SAME WORD (the SAME SAYING of God in Genesis 6:3): And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh), the heavens and the earth which are now are STORED with fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
(7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But the Lord is longsuffering towards us not willing that any should perish from off this earth but that all should come to repentance.
(8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
