This is who I am

Follow Me Jesus said : Listen to Him the Father said : testify to His truth the Holy Spirit says by his power which clothes and adorns us and gives us what we need to testify to truths which are beyond our flesh –and beyond our creation and beyond our time – truths which have come from the Ancient of Days – truths which are never beyond being declared by us - or beyond our being witness to the miracle of each one of them as they are placed in our lives to give testimony of Jesus - so all may follow Jesus and listen to him and testify to our Lord who is the word of life and truth, for that is the role of all humanity – to be living testimonies to the truth and power and miracle of our Lord and God ~

And in every scripture, in every teaching, in every command in every touch in every look that the Lord gives – he is tells us; This is who I am – this is what I do – this is what I am saying and this is where I have come from, and this is where I am going – Follow me –listen to me – testify to me – and I will take you to be where I am so you can with me for always -

Take you to where I am in stature : to where I am in relationship : to where I am in Spirit : to where I am in Truth : and to where I am in Glory :

And to those who have expressed deep commitment and desire to never leave or deny him and then have denied him once – twice – three times – he gives a look in which everything of himself is held – a look which is made of what it takes to bring us back to dust and to make us a new creation in his Name at the utterance of one word – for when Peter denied Jesus if the Lord had not set a sign in place to bring back to Peter his words, the process would have continued ; if Jesus had not reminded Peter of his words for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given to remind us of the words of Jesus Christ - then Peter would not have looked at the Lord when the rooster crowed for it was then that his words came flooding back to him – for a look from the Lord as his words to him rang out in his ears and exploded into his heart brought him to his knees and he wept with bitterness of heart at what he had done and what he had said - for this is what the reminding of the Lord’s words does to us – for the Lord looks at us only from the perspective of Truth - only through the eyes of truth and out of a heart of truth and only reminds us of his words which are Truth - and his look rips right through us as it exposes the futility of falsehood and denial and brings us back to our senses and the need for constant repentance before him – as it brings us back to life - back to the word of God which is the only word which makes sense and gives life and releases God’s love into us which enables us to keep going –

For the Lord keeps us going and all of his words to us are so we can keep going – to keep going and to follow only Jesus and to never stop listening to Him – and it is not only hearing his words again and again but to know what it does to us when we see Jesus the Word and look into his eyes as we are reminded of what he spoke, as he lets us listen to hear how he spoke it - and how he felt when he spoke it and to know why we have to truly listen to hear the very all of which is being said in every word – and we are reminded of his words of truth in the midst of falsehood and deception and denial - denial that we know him, or have been with him, or are one of his disciples – or one of his listeners – or ones who would rather stand alone with the Lord and see from the perspective of Truth which is still pure and untouched – Truths which are now becoming unsealed – Truth now ready to come into this world and be seen in its full maturity of stature and power – to prefer this than to have the approval and be surrounded by all others who see Jesus from the perspective which is clouded by their own desires for him which come out of their own desires for themselves – seeing him from a perspective of limited Truth which gives him limited glory and which cuts off all of which has been left sealed by him - and which is now being unsealed and awaiting the one or ones to run with the revelations and not to stop unless the hand of the Lord takes them out of the way and shuts them down - or until Jesus returns in the flesh – to stay with Truth as spoken by God – unblemished and powerful – truth which is resurrected and in full glory - truth which bears the wounds of our iniquities and our sins – truths which are covered in the blood of Jesus and which are fully revealed and released by the hand and mouth of God and still untouched by the hands and mouth of men who will make it suit themselves, when God does not fit into his painted portrait that they have made of him, but he has gone out of the bounds of the lines that have been constructed for him to stay within - and so while persecution rages and the truth is flogged for our iniquities and crucified for our sins, many of his people warm themselves beside the fires made by the world – making themselves warm and comfortable while the garments of Truth – the garments of our Lord are covered in blood and have turned crimson for he presses the grapes alone as he fills the cup of his wrath –

For Jesus not only was betrayed but still is betrayed - still is persecuted – still is flogged – and the word of God is still held down and crucified - but the power of God to raise to life was exerted in Jesus Christ – and Jesus Christ is Risen –

He is Resurrection Glory - and the word of God which has already been raised in glory but which men still try to hold down with their own strength and with their own ignorance - will now rise itself in their presence and this time will reveal its power of resurrection truth in the sight of those who have denied it - because the call has gone out and the warnings have been given and repentance has been preached - and each time God has sent his word to give warning and to call into repentance he has been raising his word in resurrection power - for the power which was released in the tomb of JESUS and which was hidden from our eyes will now be seen – for Jesus has Risen by the resurrection power of God – and the way has been shown - the truth has been made manifest and life eternal has been given - and the power of God to resurrect and to bring all of which is his back unto him is in its full glory, as it raises itself for battle and victory -

And if we look up and out and down and all around we will see the signs of its coming – for it is already here – the power of God to raise the bar – the power of God to raise his word into its never before seen power of resurrection will be seen and displayed for it is what will prepare the way for the return of the full and powerful Resurrection Himself – in the fullness of the flesh – in fullness of its resurrected Glory ~

Power which has been betrayed and denied - and truth which has been betrayed and denied by ones who have ears but do not listen to hear - who have eyes but do not look to see – who have a mind but which is not the mind of Christ - who have a heart which does not respond in truth to the heart and calling of God - for the whole way we are made is so we can listen to hear God – so we can see to look at him – so we can speak so we can testify to him – so we think with the mind of Christ and so we can respond with a heart created anew out of the blood of Jesus Christ -

Denying of Jesus and the all of his words is turning away – is turning our back on his soon return and the preparations of which have to be made – turning our back on his harder teachings and his hardest of words – for to betray him now when his word is reaching the very climax of its revelation in this age – to betray him now when all of which he died for is reaching its peak – to betray him now when persecution and rejection and stoning and crucifixion is imminent to all those who are loyal and steadfast to him – is just like betraying him just before he went to the cross – for to betray him and deny him now is to betray and deny our Lord when God’s word of truth is now coming into its full exposure –to turn from him when he is in full flight and in coming in full power as his word and its greatest of truths are coming into their full glorified presence amongst us - as it opens wide its gates so the Lord off Glory can be revealed through his words which he has left till now to be opened into their full revelation of Truth - for now is the time not to fall into betrayal and denial as the glory of him stretches us, as resurrection and its power raises itself in us to its greater measure. And to deny what the Lord is setting into place and revealing through his word - denying what he is going to do for the Father’s glory - crucifies him all over again – and his Father and my Father and your Father will stand for none of it – You want to betray and flog and crucify his Son all over again – then you had better pray that Jesus looks your way and the Holy Spirit reminds you of his words which give eternal life and the opportunity for repentance – and pray that the Lord lets you look into his eyes which run to the depth of his soul so you may see from the perspective of pure untouched and powerful truth so you repent and come to your senses - for when Peter saw into his eyes it was before he was crucified and resurrected and glorified - but now when he looks at us it is from one who was dead, but is now alive forever – from one who was flogged and crucified and who is now resurrected and glorified forever – a look which has full resurrection power and full glorification power -

For the sin of rebelling against God which was common to all of humanity has paid for - and it was a high price of which it cost him – and it will be a high price of which it will cost us if we betray and deny him once we have met him and had fellowship with him and tasted of the goodness of him and then refused to listen to him and to obey his Father in Heaven –

For Jesus said ‘ Not all people who sound religious are really godly – they may refer to me as Lord, but they still won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven – the decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven - on judgment day many will tell me Lord, Lord – we have prophesied in your name and cast our demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name - But I will reply ‘ I never knew you – Go away – the things you did were unauthorised –

And the price of hearing the words ‘I do not know you – go away’ is a price we have not even considered that we would have to pay if we prophesy and cast out demons and perform miracles in the Name of Jesus but have failed to listen and to obey his Father in Heaven - and what he will say are the same words we have said to him and to his Father and to the Holy Spirit, except we say – we do not want to know you so go away from us – and we say it out of the evil which is in our hearts but he says out of the truth which fills his heart - and whether our words were spoken out loud or whether they were said in our hearts he still hears them loud and clear –

But this is what the Lord Jesus Christ does to us - he brings opportunities that we may be brought into full repentance – opportunities to see from the perspective of truth in its most pure form – he gives us opportunities to again follow him and to again listen to him and to again testify and to stand in awe of God and his love –

To know the edge of his love – not that there is any end to it for God is without end but it has a definite edge to it just as his word, and just as his power, and just as his truth – just as his word is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword – for out of God who is love came his powerful indestructible word of truth and its double edge was sharpened on his love for truth justice and righteousness – for although his love is soft and enfolding as velvet and holds us securely and firmly with immeasurable depth of compassion and patience - it is as sharp and as powerful and as revealing as his word of truth ….for it is with love that his word is used in power - it is with love that it is piercing to the division of soul and of spirit - thoughts and intentions of the heart - it is with love his word blesses and destroys – for if there is no love in it there is no God in it- and there has to be God in it for there to be a love which will not bow to human compassion - a love which will not fall apart when tears full of self righteousness flow – a love which will not stumble when men are pleading for mercy while they are cursing God in their hearts – a love which will not cease to discipline and correct and strike – a love which brings plagues and famines and fire and tempest and devastating wrath to the earth - it is the love of God which towers above all other forms of emotion for it is God and it comes to us from God in all of the ways of which he expresses it - to bring all to its righteous conclusion and it is without limit and it knows no bounds - for his love transcends all else and never gives up and never loses faith - it bears all things - believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and every circumstance – the love of God never fails and will last forever.

For our Lord and his life changing love comes into us from all directions - and in every way which will see us come to repentance, and be saved and delivered into the Kingdom of Heaven – for it pours into our life and exchanges the lie for the truth – he reverses the process of when we exchanged the truth for a lie - and then the word which has come through his love lays its imperishable foundation of Truth – the perfect cornerstone which will be what make us stand or fall and then it does not cease to work and to bring God’s plan into full fruition even if we turn and deny our Lord – for it will always be true to the one who sent it -

And when the Truth is being held up for betrayal and persecution and interrogation and floggings and crucifixion - then those who deny that they know who the truth is, so as to separate themselves from being betrayed and persecuted and flogged and crucified - will also separate themselves from the resurrection and the life and receive the same unspoken unwritten glance from the Lord of which there are no words that would be comprehendible to us that would express what the Lord feels at that moment – and what he writes on his heart at that moment – and what is surging through him and the self control he has to have at that moment - no words to express what is an emotion which could shatter us and bring us back to dust in a glance – a glance that could bring the earth to its knees and cause the heavens to hide its face – as the very depths of his soul is reflected in his eyes – as the very depth of his spirit is moved and so deeply troubled –

Three opportunities Peter was given to redeem himself and Peter is just an example of what is in the nature of all of us - three times to speak the truth at the most crucial time in his life – in the Lord’s life yes – but more so a crucial time in Peter’s life and his walk with the Lord and his fellowship with him in Spirit and in Truth and his coming ministry and his eternal life and his eternity –

Three opportunities given to him to testify that he was with Jesus, that he knew Jesus, that he followed him - and that the way he spoke and his accent if it linked him to the Lord then he was glad that he spoke differently and glad that difference put him as being one of them – as being one of the Lord’s - as being a follower worthy of persecution for the sake of the Name of Jesus – worthy of being set apart and witnessed and pointed out as being seen with Lord and as one who belonged to the Lord ….

For it is to rejoice at being different – to be glad to be named as one of them –

For the harder teachings of the Lord hold words and revelations which make others have to look from the perspective of Truth and power if they are ever going to see the truth of him in all of its glory – to see it and to listen to it as it was spoken and to accept it as the truth of God – truth which has gone unpractised and unheard and unlistened to – but when the Lord desires to be revealed at a greater level which demands our full attention and our full commitment and our full loyalty to only him - all he receives is rejection and a stoning of his word – but a boulder the size of a mountain - will not hide away the word of God or keep it from moving throughout the earth for the Lord is all present and all powerful – and all revealing and all of revelation – and always speaks the truth of where his word is going – it is just that there are not many listeners – not many who listen to hear what is really being said – for it makes us have to really see if we have truly died to the world and ourselves and are truly only living for Jesus and his word and his truths - and doing all for the return of Jesus – doing all for the Glory of God -

For it is to come into the garden where all is in its maturity and for God’s sake to see his Truth from his view – from the place of maturity – from the place of power - from the place of mature and powerful sons and daughters – to finally take the Lord’s words and let them take us to where he walked and to see what he saw and to hear what he heard and to listen to what he said : for he is allowing us to be there with him as we read and listen to the words he spoke and to take the walk with him for ourselves – to read the letters but to take the walk for ourselves and to listen to him for ourselves, and to come into his truths and revelations as those who were there with him in the flesh did - and those who witnessed and saw the revelation of him after his return to the Father – to walk in and to see from the pure and sole perspective of Truth without any hidden agenda for ourselves - And until we do we will go on and on - missing the point and not feeling the double edged sword pressing into our hearts so we see what it is pointing to and the direction it is going - for it is going headlong into warfare and into claiming all back for God – all of which is his and was stolen is now being retrieved and men will not stop God taking back that which is his, for his time has come – his time is here - and if we do not feel his word of truth and revelation and power - feel its presence and its sharpness making its fine cut into our hearts and into our minds as it reaches in to pierce our souls so we do respond to the Lord’s hearts cry to turn and repent : to respond to his souls declarations to move into the new and to come to know him as he is as the full dimensional person and Father and God and Son and Holy Spirit - and not as the one dimensional portrait he is painted to be - and to see his word not as typed and printed letters put onto a flat page that we have command over, and can shut when we think our word can do a better job or when we do not like what we are reading and what the Lord is saying - and think that what the Lord is talking is fantasy and that it does not relate to us and will never come to pass in the foreseeable future –

But to see it as flesh and blood and spirit and truth and power and life and that it gives its commands to us – that his word of truth rules over us and is superior to us and higher than us - for the paper it is written on cannot compare to the heart from which it came from, and on which it was first carved out and written in the script of which only God can understand – it is to place our attention purely and solely on him and to stop idolising what he has given, which is only given so as he who is Spirit and so much more than us – can finally be recognised and seen and listened to as we take our perceptions of him into the glorious full revelation and truth of him, and begin to read his heart for that is where his written word comes from, and where it is going to, and where it will take us if we follow and listen and testify and remain faithful until the very end -

His written word gives us his full counsel so we can then go directly into his heart and receive it straight from him to us – heart to heart – but he has to prepare our hearts to receive it by being ones who receive the one who he sent and listen to the one he sent - for the one he sent is His full counsel in the flesh and will take us into the Spirit of his full counsel - so we receive all of its fullness for the Lord does not wish to hide anything from us - but we have to be receptive to his voice and to know his hand on us and to be prepared to move with him -

For there is no relationship with his word – no fellowshipping with his Truth and his power and no relationship with him - until his people begin to open themselves to what is happening now and let him take them into his word and his strategies and warfare - into the seat of his righteous and just anger and wrath and to move in the power of him and move with him and not against him - until they take the all of him and the way he wants to move, and the way he wants to speak, and the way now he wants to act - for the way he is going to take his action is going to be so far removed from what they believe they know of him, that what they see coming from him they will not credit to him and what they hear being spoken from him now they will stone and crucify for they have come into his chambers even the best of them - but to whom does he really reveal himself – and who knows to whom he has really revealed himself - for the all of him is yet to come - the all of him is yet to be seen - seen in all of its maturity and power - and who is mature enough and with enough power to stand with him now and to listen to him now - for who has listened with maturity to hear the power in his words - and who has seen with maturity to really see the power in his truth -

For who wants to have his knowledge so as to really know only him –

And who want to have his understanding so as to really understand only him –

And who wants to have his power for the sole reason of revealing the knowledge and understanding and love of him in its fullness of total glory - so all the world will know that he is a God of Love – that he is a God of power - that he is a God who saves – a God who resurrects – a God who gives eternal life – a God who finds ways to bring us to repentance – a God who never gives up – and who keeps no record of wrongs – A God who always protects – and endures all circumstances – a God who is not being easily provoked – a God who we can come to in true repentance time and time again if our heart is true to him and is not rejoicing in evil but only rejoicing in the truth as we never lose faith and never lose hope and know that his love never fails and will last forever -

For many will be reunited with God - but reunion is an event but relationship is a process - a personal process which began when God came to the sixth day of creation and made a change in his language - from let there be light- let the waters be gathered – let the earth bring forth vegetation – always the language of let it be done – sovereign decrees which immediately brought things into existence by his order for them to come to be –

But never had he said ‘let us make’ anything - and so established a personal relationship – personal identification with man which was not with any other part of his creation not even the living creatures he made -

For the Father has never been without his Son and we were never meant to be without our Father or to be void of any personal fellowship with him; or any personal contact from him for he exists in the fullness of family- for the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ – is the Father from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name –a Father from whom all Fatherhood takes its title -

And that is why the Lord’s face is upon our face and his eyes sweep over our flesh and our soul is caressed with his word and we are filled and astounded and awakened and enlightened and amazed : for we who were dead are now alive again forever because of Jesus Christ – because the Lord meets us on the worst day of our life and turns it into the best day of our life - and I would say that it was the worse day of Peter’s life when he came to his senses and realised he denied the Lord three times and yet the Lord who bears all things and endures all things and is always hopeful and whose love never fails - made it the best day of his life for the Lord looked at him at his worse moment and gave him what he had – he gave him the truth and he reminded him of his words and set him free to start over as he brought his heart back to dust so as to begin anew -

For he is a God of relationships – because he is a God who changed his language when he came to form us and formed us in his image using his own personal way of speech as he conversed with the Son and the Holy Spirit – and placed in us the language of his persons - for he could process out of a word and make what came from his word mature and fully grown because he is the Ancient of Days and has the whole process held within him - the whole process of which can take days or years but the Lord can so manifest at whatever level he desires for his glory to be displayed - as Jesus so did with water to good wine – with the few loaves and fishes to bread and fish already baked and ready to eat - he takes the healing process and make it instant – a withered limb and bring it back into its mature state – creating out of he who has in him, all of which is from nothing up to and including all of which is in its full state of maturity and power – and he can produce it in a word because all is in his word – he is in his word as his word is in him - and his word stretches back into the Ancient of days who holds the smallest of seeds and gives it manifestation and tells it to multiply - and who also holds the fullness of maturity and can manifest it instantly if it serves his purpose –

He takes that which is still to be born and that which is fully matured and full of fruit and he can call on whatever state of existence which will display his glory and make himself more known to us – calling forth all at its due time – calling forth all to bring this age to a close ~ and calling forth all who will go into the new millennium and take on the stature of matured and powerful sons and daughters sent in the same way the Father sent Jesus – sent and given the power of the Holy Spirit - first to testify to Jesus and to give testimony of his word and the truth to the ends of the earths, giving declaration that whatever his word has declared it will come to pass - and then to bring that same power into the next age –

For it is the power of the Holy Spirit which keeps us from betraying our Lord and denying his Name ~ a power given us for the sole purpose of remaining true to Jesus and so remaining true to the Father who sent him ~ power for the sole purpose of bringing all truth into its rightful place - for it is the truth of God which lines the way for the return of he who is truth and word in its full manifestation - for there is no manifestation of God greater than Jesus Christ -

And the Lord will demonstrate his holy power before the eyes of all the nations and the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God ~

And our God whose word stands firm like a foundation stone and sealed with the inscription – ‘the Lord knows who are his and let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity - all those who claim they belong to the Lord turn away from all wickedness – for he saves from iniquity every one who calls upon the name of the Lord -

That is why in every scripture, in every teaching, in every command in every touch in every look that the Lord gives unto us – he is telling us;

This is who I am – this is what I do – this is what I am saying and this is where I have come from, and this is where I am going – Follow me –listen to me – testify to me – and I will take you to be where I am so you can with me for always -

For he is taking us into where there will be no sin to separate us again from him for all that could be done he has done - and it is for us to live in the truth that what is still to come is what we are to be earnestly waiting for – waiting for and watching for and preparing for - and there will be no denial or betrayal of the Lord if we are filled with his Holy Spirit and if we only seek and listen to Jesus always without any exceptions – and only and in full truth die to this world and to ourselves and live and breathe only for our Lord Jesus Christ and his soon return ~ and his coming eternity ~

AMEN
