His ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule with perfect fairness and justice from the throne of his father David. He will bring true justice and peace to all the nations of the world. This is going to happen because the Lord of heaven’s armies has dedicated himself to do it!
Isaiah 9:7 Living Bible
…God was right when He spoke revealing grace, that He did not judge the people that died in time past, but He kept them in the grave, waiting for the day THE SON OF MAN will come
who will be the judge of the living and of the dead, in whom they shall remain justified. I am the Justifier. I am the Judge of the whole earth. It is an irrevocable fact. Believe it if you can. Leave it if you cannot believe it.

HOW ARMED ARE YOU FOR THE TROUBLOUS TIMES?/RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESSES OF YOUR WIFE; PREACHED ON SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2016; PG. 42 vs. 16 – 17

JUDGMENT IS IN THE HAND OF THE SON OF MAN [1]
Let us go to saint John’s Gospel. I want to do extensive reading. I will use clearer translations only. Use the Good News Bible first. The Amplified version second. And lastly, Living Bible.
2. The Scriptures are few and we are not going to stay too long in the Fellowship. We will stay as much as He wants us to stay.
3. So follow Me. Do not be tired. I know you will not be tired again because the presence of the LORD has been established fully. And that should be your strength, and that whatever happens, I do not care, for I am already in the right hand of God. You are already in the right hand of God. Is it not true?
4. If the presence of God here this day is to destroy us, immediately we saw the light, we will die. But the light has now renewed our strength.
5. What is more? I believe this light entered all our rooms, because of the way the light went straight on, as if this light knows every room here. It went straight.
6. I was seeing the Light when I came out, as it entered the kitchen side. Maybe the Light was looking for Nzubechi Odoemena in the kitchen.
7. O! You saw it in the dinning? And I could not see you in the dinning. Can you imagine? Who will believe our report? Can you deny what you have seen because people do not believe in you? Can you deny that?
8. I am happy that all of you saw the whole thing. It is not that Daddy said. All eyes went there. It went this way and continued until it passed by three times.
9. The situation was not such that there was no electricity supply light or that the light was about to be restored or that it was raining or about to rain or lightning flashes. Nothing like that.
10. Remember there was a Voice that went forth which that thing confirmed. Amen. That has given Me the boldness.
11. Saint John’s Gospel chapter 5 from verse 19 through 30. Extensive reading.
12. “19So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does
13. 20For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed.
14. 21Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to. Is that so? Anybody He does not want to give life, will that person get life?
15. 22Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge,… He has given the son what? …the full right to judge, 23so that all will honor the Son in the same way as they honor the Father. Good! Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
16. 24“I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life.
17. If you hear My Words and believe in Him that sent Me, you have eternal life. I hope you know the person that is talking to you this morning.
18. THE RESURRECTED BODY. THE CONTINUITY. HE THAT WAS PROMISED TO COME AND LEAD YOU INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF ALL TRUTH, AND BRING EVERYTHING TO ITS CONSUMMATION. AFTER ME COMETH NO OTHER.
19. HE WILL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF, BUT WHATEVER HE WILL HEAR FROM ME, HE WILL DECLARE TO YOU. THAT SAME PERSONALITY.
20. 24“I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED,…
21. If you hear My Words, you believe in Him that sent Me and you practice what you have believed, you will never be judged. You will never appear before God in judgment which everybody is afraid of appearing. Nobody has ever appeared there and won his case with God.
22. And God has now decided to use this simple Faith of Christ; simple Faith of Christ; simple Message to exclude you from coming there if only you will apply Faith.
23. FAITH, IF ONLY YOU WILL BELIEVE. WHEN YOU BELIEVE, YOU HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE. NO CONDEMNATION. NO ADJUDGING GUILTY.
24. You will appear before the judgment before you will be adjudged guilty. Is it not true? Just simple Faith!
25. They will not be judged but have already passed from death to life. Note! They have already passed from death unto life.
26. 25I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH: the time is coming — the time has already come… Sure!!! — when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life. 26Just as the Father is himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life.
27. Just as the Father, Whom you do not see, Who is dwelling in the Son. Remember he cried out in John 7:28, “You know me. You call me by my name. You know my parents. You know where I am born and brought up. But I am talking about the One Whom you do not know.
28. John 7:28, Living Bible. [28]So Jesus, in a sermon in the Temple, called out, “Yes, YOU KNOW ME AND WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED, BUT I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE YOU DON’T KNOW, AND HE IS TRUTH.
29. You do not see Who is dwelling in Me. That is the One I am introducing to you. You can see the mask. You know the name of the mask.
30. But I am introducing to you the Man Who is wearing the mask, whose Voice you are hearing through the mask.
31. If you are running away, the mask is not pursuing you. What is pursuing you is the Man that is wearing the mask, who is seeing you through the eye of the mask. Did you get the Message?
32. Believe in He, you have believed in Him – that same person who is inside the mask. Say “No” to Him, you are resisting the one who is inside the mask. Did you get the Message?
33. Whosoever that pulls the masquerade’s raffia attire, the person he pulled is the Personality in the masquerade. Is it a lie Brethren?
34. You are not running away from the mask. You are running away from the person wearing the mask, the Person Who is using the mask to perform.
35. If you are flogged, He that flogged you is the Personality inside the masquerade. If the masquerade gives you a cut with the machete, He that gave you the cut is the Personality wearing the mask, but what you are seeing is the mask so that you do not recognize the Personality within the mask.
36. Once the person inside the mask starts running the masquerade runs. When the person inside the mask starts dancing the masquerade equally starts dancing.
37. When the person speaks, the masquerade is speaking. When He eats, the masquerade eats. When he drinks, the masquerade drinks too. Amen.
38. It is only as a human being can He marry and have children. It is only as a human being can He handle this microphone and begin to minister to you this way.
39. I AM NOTHING BUT THE INSTRUMENT HE IS USING TO REACH YOU FOR YOUR OWN SALVATION IN YOUR OWN DAY.
40. IF YOU SAY, “AWAY WITH THIS MAN. I AM TIRED OF HEARING FROM HIM”, YOU COUNT YOURSELF UNWORTHY OF EVERLASTING LIFE. YOU MISS IT. THEN YOU GO AFTER THE RICHES OF THE WORLD THAT WILL PERISH WITH THE PERISHING WORLD.
41. Who has ever died and carried away his wealth? Who has ever carried his family into the grave? Because he loves his family, you carry your wife and children into the grave so that no one will be here?
42. 27And he has given the Son the right to judge,… He has given the Son the right; the authority. Authority is conferred on the Son to judge.
43. 27And he has given the Son the right to judge, because He is THE SON OF MAN.
44. If you read that passage very well, you will see “Son of God” repeated. And finally, you will see “THE SON OF MAN.” Did you hear it? Is it not in the same passage? “Son of God”, “THE SON OF MAN.” “Son of God”, “THE SON OF MAN.” All in one passage.
45. Remember, he (Jesus) knew he was not THE SON OF MAN. He was the Son of God. Being the Son of God, he foretold the coming of THE SON OF MAN. Did you get the message?
46. Then I will show you where He separated the working of THE SON OF MAN from the working of the Holy Spirit. That is, the Sovereign Spirit that has made Him who He is. The Sovereign Spirit that made Him Christ.
47. I will separate the two today so that you will see everything in clear terms. So that you will know that many have already been condemned, awaiting execution.
48. 27And he has given the Son the right to judge, because He is THE SON OF MAN. 28Do not be surprised at this;…
49. Marvel not at this. Let it not surprise you. Let it not scandalize you. God’s ways are mysterious. Do not ask why God should not do it this way. If it is not Him, will it be you? Can you direct God the way he should go?
50. Remember, He will give life to whoever He wants to. If He does not want to give it to you because you are disobedient and arrogant;
51. You are stubborn, obstinate, hard-hearted, incorrigibly bad, for He must have good reasons why He will deny you of it, so that you will reap what you sow.
52. 28Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice 29and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned.
53. 30“I can do nothing on my own authority; I JUDGE ONLY AS GOD TELLS ME,… I judge as God directs Me, and as He tells Me. As He instructs me, so I speak, so I act, and so I judge.
54. 30“I can do nothing on my own authority; I judge only as God tells me, so my judgement is right, because I am not trying to do what I want, [Sure!!!] but only what he who sent me wants.
I know you and your doings. Even if I do not know and no other person knows, there is One who knows. And He is equally the One before whom you are coming to answer questions. For all things are naked unto Him whom we have to do. I am the God of the heavens and the earth. The Judge of all. The Judge of the living and the dead. And I am saying that I know you. I know your doings. I know your heart. I have not done you any hurt by healing your wounds.

ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE CLOUD OR THE CROWD PART 1; preached on Sunday 7th August, 2016; Pg. 95 vs. 46 – 51

JUDGMENT IS IN THE HAND OF THE SON OF MAN [2]
John 5: 19 – 30, Living Bible: 19Jesus replied, “The Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing, and in the same way.
2. 20For the Father loves the Son, and tells him everything he is doing;…
3. The Father loves the Son and tells him everything – not minus. In other words, he that is in the bosom of the Father knows the mind of the father in all matters pertaining to life and Godliness. Are you surprised at that?
4. He is a Heavenly Messenger. He was with the father from the very official beginning. And he is graciously sent to us as what?
5. Our own ambassador representing heaven here on earth so that the will of the father might be done on earth as it is done in heaven; so that heaven and earth will unite in that same individual. The uniting point of all God’s children.
6. …and the Son will do far more awesome miracles than this man’s healing. 21He will even raise from the dead anyone he wants to, just as the Father does.
7. 22 And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, 23 so that everyone will honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. EVERYONE! No exemption.
8. A son respects and honours his Father. The slave respects and hours the master. Where is my honour? Where is my respect?
9. They know Him as God, but they do not give Him His honour, respect, reverence, worship and thanksgiving as God. Is it not a condemnation in Romans 1:18 – 22?
10. They know God. That is not a big deal. But do you honour Him as God? Do you revere, respect and obey Him as God so that everyone will honour the Son in the same manner they honour the Father?
11. Everything pertaining to the Father is allotted to Him. You want to look for another Father somewhere? The father is already with you.
12. Anywhere you see the father, he will redirect you, “Go there. I have given you the Person you are looking for. He is the one holding my staff – my symbol of authority, my symbol of office. He is the one wearing the Shekinah in your own day. Do not look for the Shekinah elsewhere.”
13. Like we have seen this morning, of all the families on earth and of every gathering, tell Me, this experience you have had here, do you think it is a common one? Is it a common experience?
14. We know He has been here from the time of lockdown till now because THE SON OF MAN has been here. But never have we come to see this particular one. It has happened that our joy will be complete.
15. This type of silence, it is like you are in fear. I wanted to hear jubilation and clapping of hands, but you are all in fear.
16. Do not be afraid. He has come to do us good. He has come to save us. He is confirming that we are not fooling ourselves. He is confirming that we are on the right track.
17. By His coming into this Family in this way, I believe He has rolled away all our infirmities [Amen]. He has rolled away everything. That is what I believe. That is My belief; that this visitation is glorious. It is wonderful.
18. Watch outside, brethren. Look up to the sky. Watch outside. Bro Eli, let Me see something that really scared you.
19. 22 And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, 23 so that everyone will honour the Son, just as they honour the Father.
20. Everyone. No minus. Once you say you are a child of God, you are a believer of this truth, you MUST; you owe it as a duty to honour Him the same way you honour the Elohim for without Him you cannot see the Elohim. Without Him, there is no Godhead. And there is no Shekinah.
21. Can you see why the people of God gathered in the days of Joshua and repeated their vow which they made in the days of Moses, “Whosoever that will not pay heed to his word and obey must be put to death.”
22. And then, in the Book of Deuteronomy, it said, “I am raising from among you, one of you like unto myself [The LORD will do in the last days] who will tell you the mind of God. It shall come to pass, if any, for any reason at all, fails to listen to His voice and obey, he shall be put off from among his brethren.” He will no longer be a partaker of eternal life.
23. Deuteronomy 18:18 – 19 18I will raise up for them a prophet (Prophet) from among their brethren like you, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19And whoever will not hearken to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him. AMP
24. In the days of St. Paul, he said, “Seeing that you have turned away your hearts and your ears from this truth, you have counted yourself unworthy of everlasting life; Now, we turn over to the Gentiles. Peradventure, they will hear and believe.”
25. Acts 13:46. 46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out plainly and boldly, saying, It was necessary that God’s message [concerning salvation through Christ] should be spoken to you first. But since you thrust it from you, you pass this judgment on yourselves that you are unworthy of eternal life and out of your own mouth you will be judged. [Now] behold, we turn to the Gentiles (the heathen). AMP
26. When the believing Gentiles heard the word of grace coming from the mouth of St. Paul, the Bible said, “They rejoiced exceedingly.”
27. Acts 13:48. 48And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified (praised and gave thanks for) the Word of God; and as many as were destined (appointed and ordained) to eternal life believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus as the Christ and their Saviour). AMP
28. Is it a surprise that we have received our own Messiah in the fashion of the Gentiles, manifesting all the characteristic attributes of the Gentiles, and no longer the Jews.
29. …BUT IF YOU REFUSE TO HONOUR GOD’S SON, Whom He sent to you, then you are certainly not honouring the Father.
30. 24“I say emphatically… I say what? I say emphatically. …that anyone who listens to my message…”ANYONE! ANYONE! ANYONE! It could be you. It could be Me.
31. “… ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO MY MESSAGE AND BELIEVES IN GOD WHO SENT ME HAS ETERNAL LIFE,… Period! …and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life.
32. 25“And I solemnly declare that the time is coming, IN FACT, IT IS HERE, when the dead shall hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God—and those who listen shall live. Future tense!
33. 26The Father has life in Himself, and has granted his Son to have life in Himself, 27 and to judge the sins of all mankind because he is THE SON OF MAN. Amen!!!
34. 28Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves shall hear the voice of God’s Son, 29 and shall rise again—those who have done good, to eternal life; and those who have continued in evil, to judgment.
35. 30“But I pass no judgment without consulting the Father. I judge as I am told. And my judgment is absolutely fair and just, for it is according to the will of God who sent me and is not merely my own. Amen!
36. You see why I find it difficult to argue with people. I find it extremely difficult to enter talking competition with anybody. In short, I find it a mere dissipation of my energy to enter into war of words with anybody.
37. That is why in all My Messages, I sum it up with My own language, which is not mine, BELIEVE IT IF YOU CAN.
38. But where you say you will not believe because of Me or because of reasons best known to you, I cannot kill you. I know where you now belong to.
39. CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION. Remember, that is the topic of my teaching. CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION.
40. John 5: 19 – 30 (AMP) 19So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].
41. 20The Father dearly loves the Son and discloses to (shows) Him everything that He Himself does. And He will disclose to Him (let Him see) greater things yet than these, [Sure!!!] so that you may marvel and be full of wonder and astonishment. Is it not fulfilling?
42. 21Just as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life [makes them live on], even so the Son also gives life to whomever He wills and is pleased to give it.
43. 22Even the Father judges no one, for He has given ALL JUDGMENT (THE LAST JUDGMENT AND THE WHOLE BUSINESS OF JUDGING) ENTIRELY INTO THE HANDS OF THE SON,
44. 23So that all men may give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, Who has sent Him.
45. 24I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. Sure!!!
46. And he does not come into judgment [At all!] [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], [No!] but he has already passed over out of death into life.
47. 25Believe Me when I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when the dead SHALL HEAR the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live.
48. 26For even as the Father has life in Himself and is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and be self-existent.
49. 27And He has given Him authority and granted Him power to execute (exercise, practice) judgment because HE IS A SON OF MAN [VERY MAN].
50. 28Do not be surprised and wonder at this, for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice,
51. 29And they shall come out–those who have practiced doing good [will come out] to the resurrection of [new] life, and those who have done evil will be raised for judgment [raised to meet their sentence].
52. 30I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord–but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me. Amen!
53. I hope you are following Me. This scripture has been lying low for a long time.
54. And the prophet William Branham said that there are too many of them [Scriptures] that are still lying silent; “Wait until the hour of its fulfilment will come. The LORD will put it into the mouth of His servant and he will voice it out.”
55. Scoffers have ridiculed this portion. Why? They err, not know the Scriptures nor the power of God. Scoffers are the people retorting, challenging, pushing the truth away from themselves and yet sitting down in our midst, claiming to be one of us, mocking God and ridiculing God.
56. These are the people that are filled with murmuring, grumbling and complaining against God in their hearts and in their houses which I call their tents.
57. They are ignorant of the fact that God punished the first man Adam and decided within Himself the number of years the punishment will last, because they are not aware that God allotted the present world six thousand years.
58. FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE by Rutherford Platt; Chapter 3 verse 6. “Then God in his mercy for Adam who was made after His own image and likeness, explained to him, that these were 5,000 and 500 years; and how One would then come and save him and his descendants.”
59. When the six thousand years had not yet come, they got tired. They were tired of waiting for the promise.
60. The prophets knew that what God said must surely come to pass, and they told us clearly, “Although they tarry, wait for them for they will not overstay by a single minute”, for whatever God prophesied is tied to time. Do you believe it?
61. Habakkuk 2:3 [3]But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! LB
62. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. AMP
63. FROM THE TIME OF THE PROPHECY TO THE TIME OF ITS FULFILMENT, THERE MUST BE A PERIOD OF WAITING.
64. Adam is still waiting. Adam believed God. When he wanted God to alter the punishment, God said, “No! Until 5,500 years are over, I will not change my mind.”
65. It is after that, in the 6th day, the son of Mary will be here. One of the sons of David will be on the scene. He will be on the throne to wind up the history of the world.
66. IT WILL BE AT THE END THAT YOU WILL SEE HIM ON THE THRONE AS KING AND AS PRIEST. HE WILL BE THE HIGH PRIEST; HE WILL ALSO BE THE KING, RUNNING THE AFFAIRS OF THE EARTH. FROM ONE STOOL.
67. HE WILL BE A MAN. HE WILL MARRY. HE WILL HAVE CHILDREN. ONLY IN HIS REIGN WILL I NOW PERMIT HIM TO UNLOCK THE GATE OF PARADISE AND LET YOU AND YOUR RIGHTEOUS DESCENDANTS THAT WAITED PATIENTLY, FAITHFULLY ON MY PROMISE TO GO INTO PARADISE.
68. That is why when God appeared in our midst in 1993, He gave us a message titled YOU HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE, so that when your obedience is fulfilled, you will inherit the promise. To God be the glory.
69. We are not asking you whether you know or believe that THE SON OF MAN is a sent man from the Throne of God.
70. Is anybody is in doubt about the Divine Personality, the Divine Incarnate we have been having dealings with all these years? Is anybody still in doubt? Is He making any claim? He is not claiming to be anything. He is what He says He is.
71. I have always told you that your belief or unbelief adds nothing. Neither does it subtract anything.
72. Even what has taken place here this morning will remain evergreen in our hearts as a confirmation that we are worshipping God in His own chosen place of worship. To God be the glory.
God has transferred you from the laws of Moses to the laws of His dear Son, THE SON OF MAN, who is the Judge of the living and dead. He is to tell you what you will do and what you will not do. Amen.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN? [1]
We are considering many things this morning. But let me go back. You know teaching takes me time. [Amen].
2. When you go to John 14:1 only, look at how it opened. Saint John’s Gospel chapter 14, look at verse 1.
3. The Master said, “Believe in me. Believe also in my Father; or believe in my Father. Believe also in me. Only then is your belief complete.”
4. If you say you believe in the Son, but you will not believe in He that is in the Son, whom the Son is speaking in His authority, be it known to you that the man who is giving the Son authority is by far greater than the Son. That is why He is the one directing; the one instructing; the one dictating and the one confirming. Is it not true?
5. The Son does not do anything because He wants to. He first of all confers with the Father, Who tell Him to do or not to do; Who directs Him to go or not to go; Who will even give the verdict concerning any judgement so that he [the son] does not judge because he wants to.
6. He does not give the verdict because he wants to give the verdict. No! The verdict has already been given by the Father. He pronounces the verdict as the Father tells Him to pronounce. And that is, “You are condemned” or “You are set free.”
7. WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN HIM, YOU ARE ABSOLVED COMPLETELY FROM CONDEMNATION. We are going to that.
8. John 14:1 (LB): “Let not your heart be troubled. Let your heart not be troubled again. YOU ARE TRUSTING GOD, NOW TRUST IN ME.
9. Why? I and my father are one. There is no way you can by-pass me and see my Father.
10. Isaiah 9:6 [6]For unto us a child is born; UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN; and the government shall be upon his shoulder. These will be his royal titles: “Wonderful,” “Counselor,” “The Mighty God,” “THE EVERLASTING FATHER,” “The Prince of Peace.” LB
11. It is just like somebody coming here saying, “Show us the Elohim. Show us the Godhead.” Would you not laugh at that person?
12. You can imagine the extent the matter got to, and He told Philip, “Philip, all these years you have been with Me. Yet, you do not know Me. You are still requesting of Me to show you who the Father is. I am amazed.”
13. With that statement alone, Philip was not satisfied, for he said, “Show us who the Father is and that is all we need. We will not pester you with questions again.”
14. John 14:8 – 9. 8Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father–that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 9Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER. How can you say then, Show us the Father? AMP
15. John 14:1 (AMP): DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.
16. This is because the Father never withheld anything that makes Him the Father from the Son. All authority in heaven and on earth have been conferred on the son, even to pardon sin and to cause the dead to resurrect.
17. Brethren, what a wonderful privilege we are enjoying having God in person for our teacher, for if God never opened your eyes of understanding, you will remain groping in darkness.
18. John 14:1 (GNB): “Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in me. Amen!
19. John 7:25-31 (AMP) 25Then some of the Jerusalem people said, Is not this the Man they seek to kill?
20. 26And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered and know that this is truly the Christ?…”
21. Can it be possible that the rulers [our people] have at last have discovered that this man is the very Christ and kept quiet?
22. Hence, nobody laid hands on him. A man that was declared wanted for the sin of blasphemy; claiming to be God when he is a human being. A sin punishable by death.
23. John 19:7The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. KJV
24. Pharisees and Sadducees, Scribes and Sanhedrin’s, Herodians and all the rulers – they saw Him in the temple preaching the same things, teaching the people, and they feigned ignorance.
25. Every one of them that saw Him teaching in the temple turned the other way so that nobody will quote him as the person that reported Jesus.
26. Now, some of the people who were aware of what the issue was, they even wondered and were astonished at the way the people were behaving as if they were overlooking the man.
27. Could it be that they have at last discovered and believed that He is the very Christ? And nobody wants to run into trouble with God by laying hands on the Anointed One?
28. 27No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes.
29. 28Whereupon Jesus called out as He taught in the temple [porches], Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority and of My own accord and as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true…”
30. We have people that have established one thing or the other with their money and with their hands. They came by their own authority, and they claim they are speaking for God.
31. Self-appointed men of God. Self-appointed women of God. Are they not everywhere?
32. There are some also who, after graduating from Bible colleges, they begin to look for jobs in the churches where their services will be hired for a pay.
33. They will lay hands on them and ordain them pastors, evangelists. And then send them to go and fetch human beings who will be bringing money to them. At the end of the month, they pay them salary.
34. But it was not so with the Lord Jesus Christ. He was not self-appointed. He was not man-made. Nobody laid hands on him to ordain him one thing or the other. He never passed through any theological institution and never represented the interest of any religious group. True or false?
35. …Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority and of My own accord and as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true (real, genuine, steadfast); and Him you do not know!
36. 29I know Him [Myself] because I come from His [very] presence, AND IT WAS HE [PERSONALLY] WHO SENT ME.
37. 30Therefore they were eager to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, for His hour (time) had not yet come. Sure!!!
38. 31 And besides, many of the multitude believed in Him [adhered to Him, trusted in Him, relied on Him]. And they kept saying, When the Christ comes, will He do [can He be expected to do] more miracles and produce more proofs and signs than what this Man has done?” Amen!
39. John 7:25-31 (LB) 25Some of the people who lived there in Jerusalem said among themselves, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
40. 26But here he is preaching in public, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that he really is the Messiah?
41. 27But how could he be? For we know where this man was born; when Christ comes, he will just appear and no one will know where he comes from.”
42. This is because they do not know the scriptures. They do not believe the prophets. If they had believed the prophets, believed the holy writings of the prophets, they would have known that a prophecy went forth ahead of time that unto us a Son shall be given because a virgin shall conceive and give birth to a Son. Is it not true?
43. Even the place – Bethlehem, Judea – was prophesied. Even Joseph was prophesied. They do not believe the scriptures. They do not know the power of God. So they erred.
44. 28So Jesus, in a sermon in the Temple, called out, “Yes, you know me and where I was born and raised…
45. Like I am known today by all, but there is one thing they do not know me for.
46. …BUT I AM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE YOU DON’T KNOW, AND HE IS TRUTH… I am the Ambassador [the Representative] of One you do not know. 29I know him because I was with him, and he sent me to you.”
47. 30Then the Jewish leaders sought to arrest him; but no hand was laid on him, for God’s time had not yet come.
48. 31Many among the crowds at the Temple believed on him. “After all,” they said, “what miracles do you expect the Messiah to do that this man hasn’t done?” Amen!
49. John 6:60-71 (LB): “60 Even his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand…” Even His own disciples; they said, “What this man is teaching; what He is saying is very difficult and very hard for us to understand.”
50. No wonder why, from time to time, the Lord Jesus Christ asked them a question, “Understandest thou these?” They said, “Master, how can we understand?”
51. And the Bible recorded that He expounded their understanding that they might understand the real meaning of the Holy Scriptures, for they were only holding on to the letter. And the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
52. 60Even his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. Who can tell what he means?” 61Jesus knew within himself that his disciples were complaining and said to them, “Does this offend you?
53. 62Then what will you think if you see me, the Messiah, return to heaven again?
54. 63Only the Holy Spirit gives eternal life. Those born only once, with physical birth, will never receive this gift. But now I have told you how to get this true spiritual life.
55. 64But some of you don’t believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe and knew the one who would betray him.)
56. From the very beginning, He knew the people who would not believe in Him. These people were milling around Him, claiming to be one of His disciples. Is it not true?
57. We warned the true believes to be careful, to be wary of those hypocrites who were milling around him not because they were believing.
58. They were milling around [1] To find fault with Him [2] They want to get material benefits from Him. But talk of the Word of eternal life, they were not there for it.
59. These were the people that did not go far. When those gifts stopped coming, they became tired and sat down.
60. “What inheritance have we in the son of David, in the Son of Jesse. What inheritance have we? To your tents oh Israel. Everyone should go back to his house. There is nothing else we can benefit from him.
61. My brother, all He is saying now is about going home. What He is saying now is quite different o. Are we returning home hungry? Are we returning home in poverty? Everyone should go and undertake his or her own venture.”
62. And in the attempt to wander away, they all got drowned. The world swallowed them up. They got drowned in the world. They got immersed into that many waters, never to swim up again.
63. … (For Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe and knew the one who would betray him.) 65And he remarked, “That is what I meant when I said that no one can come to me unless the Father attracts him to me.” Sure!!!
64. 66At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. 67Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you going too?”
65. 68Simon Peter replied, “Master, to whom shall we go? You alone have the words that give eternal life, 69 and we believe them and know you are the holy Son of God.”
66. 70Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, and one is a devil.” 71He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would betray him. Amen!
67. Let us go further. John 12:15-31 (AMP): 15Do not fear, O Daughter of Zion! Look! Your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!
68. 16His disciples did not understand and could not comprehend the meaning of these things at first; Sure!!! …but when Jesus was glorified and exalted, they remembered that these things had been written about Him Sure!!! …and had been done to Him.
69. These things were written concerning him, and had all come to pass. Just like I am telling you that I have come in the volume of the books that were written concerning me to do the will of the Father who sent me. It was not written in one book alone, but in the volume of the books
70. That is why, all religious books spoke concerning Him, and spoke about the hour we are in. True or false? Let us march on!
71. 17The group that had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from among the dead kept telling it [bearing witness] to others. 18It was for this reason that the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this sign (proof, miracle).
72. It was for this thing that the crowd now went after Him. Can you see what they were going for? Signs and wonders, miracles. Things that were meant for heathens, unbelievers. That is what they were going after.
73. And they do not know that God had already told us clearly, “These signs shall follow those that believe in me.”
74. BELIEVERS DO NOT FOLLOW SIGNS AND WONDERS. RATHER, SIGN AND WONDERS FOLLOW BELIEVERS.
75. Isaiah foretold, “I and the children whom the LORD had given to me, we are for signs. We are for wonders in this generation.”
76. Isaiah 8:18. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. KJV
77. In the day of Jesus the Christ, the Bible said the apostles went forth preaching the Word of God, and signs and wonders following them.
78. Mark 16:20. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. KJV
79. 19Then the Pharisees said among themselves, You see HOW FUTILE your efforts are and how you accomplish nothing. See! The whole world is running after Him!
80. 20Now among those who went up to worship at the Feast were some Greeks.
81. 21These came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and they made this request, Sir, we desire to see Jesus. 22Philip came and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip together [went] and told Jesus.
82. 23And Jesus answered them, The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified and exalted.
83. 24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.
84. 25Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no regard for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever and ever.] Amen!
85. 26IF ANYONE SERVES ME, HE MUST CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ME…
86. Where lies the idea of drawing back or sitting down when the Master is walking. He is walking in front, and you have already sat down behind.
87. When He said, “Let us pray”, you go and sleep. He will come and wake you up again and you will go back to sleep, thereby sending danger signal to him that you are tired of following Him.
88. 26If anyone serves Me, he must continue to follow Me TO CLEAVE STEADFASTLY TO ME, CONFORM WHOLLY [Holistically] TO MY EXAMPLE IN LIVING AND, IF NEED BE, IN DYING] [in dying also if need be] and wherever I am, there will My servant be also. Amen! If anyone serves Me, the Father will honour him. Sure!!!
89. 27Now My soul is troubled and distressed, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour [of trial and agony]? Amen! But it was for this very purpose that I have come to this hour [that I might undergo it].
90. 28[Rather, I will say,] Father, glorify (honour and extol) Your [own] name! Then there came a voice out of heaven saying, I have already glorified it, and I will glorify it again.
91. 29The crowd of bystanders heard the sound and said that it had thundered; others said, An angel has spoken to Him!
92. 30Jesus answered, This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake.
93. 31Now the judgment (crisis) of this world is coming on [SENTENCE IS NOW BEING PASSED ON THIS WORLD]. Now the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world shall be cast out (expelled). Amen!!! Scriptures fulfilling daily.
I am the Son. I am the Father. I hold the key to hell and heaven. I make laws and I Cancel laws. I am the supreme authority, the supreme intelligence, the supreme judge, the judge of all flesh. When you hear, “i am the lord, the god of all flesh”, where do you look at? See him in your midst. The lord, the god of all flesh, who said, “is there anything impossible for me to do?” For with him. All things are possible; both life and death.

A SPECIAL DAY – ANOTHER GREAT DAY; preached on Sunday 19th August, 2012; Pg. 146 vs. 10 – 11

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE SON OF MAN? [2]
John 12:44-50 (AMP) 44But Jesus loudly declared, The one who believes in Me does not [only] believe in and trust in and rely on Me, but [in believing in Me he believes] in Him Who sent Me. 45 And whoever sees Me sees Him Who sent Me.
2. 46I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me [whoever cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] may not continue to live in darkness.
3. 47If anyone hears My teachings and fails to observe them [does not keep them, but disregards them], it is not I who judges him. For I have not come to judge and to condemn and to pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world.
4. 48Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge [however]; for THE [VERY] MESSAGE THAT I HAVE SPOKEN will itself judge and convict him at the last day.
5. 49This is because I have never spoken on My own authority or of My own accord or as self-appointed, but the Father Who sent Me has Himself given Me orders [concerning] what to say and what to tell.
6. 50And I know that His commandment is (means) eternal life. Amen!!! So whatever I speak, I am saying [exactly] what My Father has told Me to say [Sure!] and IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
7. So, whoever that is disobeying is not disobeying us. He is not disobeying Me. You are disobeying your Creator, Who is reaching you; speaking to you the Word of salvation through Me.
8. I am only an instrument that is privileged to be selected here on earth among all human beings to bear His Name among you.
9. So, despise me not. Despise not my chastening for whosever the Lord loves He chastens, He corrects even with His hot displeasure because He is not willing that that person will perish. Rather, He is desiring that the person should repent and live.
10. Change your mind. Change your attitude towards God and then live with God forever, for hell is not a good place for any human being to dream of going to.
11. Those that say, “Let the hell come, we are ready”, when they hear gunshots, they run away. When they see ordinary rainstorm or lightning, you see them doing signs of the cross on their foreheads, chest and shoulders.
12. Some will rush furiously into their houses and bang the door as if the thunder cannot blast the building and the door.
13. That you have run into your house and closed the door, will it hinder death from coming in? But they said they are not afraid.
14. I do not like your composure. You are still filled with fear. I am here with you. I am your comforter.
15. If God had come to kill us this afternoon or this morning, by now, number one victim would have been Myself because nothing would have stopped Him from striking Me dead so that all of you will faint.
16. But I am here confirming that He is here for your good! He is here for your good, for your deliverance, for your healing and for your salvation, for He comes with salvation and with healing in His wings. He has come with the Word of comfort, telling you, “Cheer up! It will soon be over.”
17. Cheer up! The loved ones shall arise from the dead one of these days. We will behold them. All of us will meet with Him in the air never to part no more. Then we shall tell the story of how we overcome, for He is able to help us to get this promise.
18. Let me tell you; Today is our Pentecost. What visited us today is an eye-opener. I call it “Heart warmer.” When others will hear this testimony, they will be crying, wishing that they had been here with us.
19. You know it is amazing. At a time when you were not expecting that such a thing will take place. In your weakness, not in your strength, He visited you. He went straight there.
20. Are you sure He did not come to take away the infirmities of Nzubechi so that she will stop complaining? [He came to] take away your sicknesses.
21. We sing it in our song: [God has done so much for me. He has taken away my sicknesses. Oh glory, hallelujah! He is coming to take me home.] Amen!
22. The Glory Alleluia has come to take us home. It is a wonderful visitation. A memorable day. Today is 29th August 2021.
23. Remember we prayed for August visitation to mark the end of the “THANK YOU month.” The August visitation! Did we pray for it? Did we pray for August visitation on the 1st of August?
24. Patiently, we have been enduring all things, believing all things, waiting on the promise and saying “THANK YOU LORD! THANK YOU LORD!”
25. And today, you can see what has taken place. We received that August Visitor, not at another time.
26. What happened here today is a sign of what will translate you and how translation will take place on the first day of the week during your gathering.
27. You will be clapping hands. You will be rejoicing in hope. THE SON OF MAN will be preaching and talking. In a twinkling of an eye, as we could see the light going across three times, so the whole thing will happen.
28. The first [flash] came, so that if you were not awake and did not see the first, you will see the second. If you did not see the second, you will see the third. But we saw all. We saw the first. We saw the second and we saw the third. Amen!
29. So, follow Me as we listen to the truth. I speak as He gives Me utterance. Let us read the Scriptures more.
30. John 16:1 – 16 (AMP) 1I HAVE told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter, or be caused to stumble and fall away). …
31. Lest you stumble and fall away. These things have been told ahead of time. We are keeping abreast of the message. Do not say, “Sir, why are you taking us back?”
32. I am not taking you back. I am putting you in remembrance, though you have not forgotten fully. And at the same time, renewing the right spirit in you so that you will not join hands with evil people to support evil.
33. Do not ever support anything that is against you, against your family or against the Almighty God. Do not take decisions that you will regret at last.
34. Remember the message DO NOT ACT THOUGHTLESSLY. When you think thoughtlessly, you will act thoughtlessly. In everything, put God first.
35. If God says no, no means no. Do not try to change it for you will not succeed. Otherwise, God will allow you to go and try. Tomorrow, you will become an object of caricature
36. I HAVE told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter, or be caused to stumble and fall away). [I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled.]
37. God is keeping us from being scandalized and then rebel. This is because the moment you are scandalized, you are confused. The centre can no longer hold in you.
38. The next thing will be rebellion. You will rebel against every instruction. You will rebel against the Message. Then finally, you will be avoiding God.
39. When you are avoiding God, you are avoiding the Light and you are avoiding the truth. You are accepting death. You are accepting deceit. You are accepting falsehood, for you cannot avoid God and avoid the Devil. It can never happen.
40. THE MOMENT YOU AVOID GOD, YOU HAVE EMBRACED THE DEVIL. THE DEVIL BECOMES YOUR COUNSELLOR. NOBODY CAN WALK ALONE. THE MOMENT YOU ARE NOT WALKING WITH GOD, YOU ARE WALKING WITH THE DEVIL.
41. YOU CANNOT WALK WITH YOURSELF FOR THAT VACUUM THAT IS CREATED IN YOUR LIFE, THE DEVIL TAKES OVER. ONE WAY!
42. And then the Devil will be telling you that which you delight yourself in, for the Devil will not like you to be offended, for the Devil knows that if he offends you, you will abandon him.
43. WHY DO PEOPLE RUN TO THE DEVIL? THEY FEEL OFFENDED AT GOD’S WORD. WHEN YOU FEEL OFFENDED AT THE WORD OF GOD AND WALK AWAY, THE DEVIL WILL SAY, “YOU ARE HAPPILY WELCOME.”
44. He will give you a comfortable seat, furnish you will all earthly desires, and even magnify your vision. You will be daydreaming. You will begin to see your dream world that will never materialize till the end of this world. Dream world! Amen!
45. That is why, when the Devil possesses the individuals, while they are sleeping, they will be flying in aeroplane. They will land in Heathrow airport. Some will land in Frankfurt. Some will land in Tokyo, while some others will land in China.
46. When they wake up in their beds, they notice that they were still sleeping. But they travelled in their thoughts and imaginations, which the Devil magnified and took them to Dreamy worlds. Amen!
47. The whole thing is a mirage. You know what a mirage is? That is what it is. An illusion. A mere illusion.
48. It is just like this life. Everything pertaining to this life is ordinary illusion; ordinary mirage.
49. There is nothing that shows or has any guarantee of permanence here, or something you can lay hands on and say, “Through this thing, I have got eternal life. Through this thing, I now have eternal inheritance in Paradise.” It does not exist, except the Word of God.
50. That is why the Apostles and the Prophets enjoined us seriously, saying, “Of all things, lay hold on eternal life, for thereunto you are called.”
51. The reason why God has visited you; the reason why God has chosen you, called you, sanctified you, consecrated you, set you apart to be His own material is that you will dwell with Him eternally.
52. Many have already committed serious crimes against themselves. As many that travelled out and denied citizenship of Nigeria by taken the citizenship of other countries, do they know the implications? Through the words of THE LEGEND OF THE JEWS, they have denied their everlasting heritage. Did you get the Message?
53. THE LEGENDS OF THE JEWS VOLUME III BY LOUIS GINZBERG; Paragraph 885. “O Lord of the world!” exclaimed Moses, “If Joseph’s bones were permitted to be carried into the promised land, why not mine?”
54. GOD REPLIED, “WHOSOEVER ACKNOWLEDGES HIS COUNTRY SHALL BE BURIED THEREIN, BUT WHOSOEVER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HIS COUNTRY SHALL NOT BE BURIED THEREIN.
55. Joseph pledged allegiance to his country when he said, ‘For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews,’ and therefore also does he deserve to have his bones brought to the land of Israel, but thou didst in silence hear the daughters of Jethro say to their father, ‘An Egyptian delivered us out of the hands of the shepherds,’ without correcting them by saying, ‘I am a Hebrew;’ and therefore shall not even thy bones be brought into the land of Israel.” [885]
56. What if you deny the eternal Kingdom where you are born and you are a member and then take citizenship of another country, and you want God to bring you into this Paradise? No! Not the Paradise that is under the charge of the Son of Man. Not that one. You will create another one.
57. Remember, He is not bringing in anybody, except the one the Father already approved. That is why, all that the Father had already approved must surely come to me. And when they come, I will in no wise cast them away. I will give them a seat, nurture them, and then take them in.
58. How do I know them? My Father that brought them to Me is mightier that any force. Whatever might be the force that is trying to take them away, He knows how to frustrate all.
59. He will frustrate all, for He frustrates all the ambitions of the wicked and approves all the ambitions of the righteous, for God is with the righteous and gives ear to the righteous man’s prayers.
60. An Igbo adage says that bringing out cocoyam seedlings from the barn does not mean planting them in the farm.
61. Some will hear, “Do not come out of the aeroplane, for that plane that brought you from Nigeria is taking you back to Nigeria because no Nigerians are desired in this country anymore.” I will not say much on this matter anymore, because I do not know who and who are going to be involved.
62. Remember that if God has finished with you; He does not have anything to do with you; You have become unprofitable, He will approve of whatever you request of Him, whether good or bad so that you will go out there and destroy yourself.
63. BE CONSCIOUS OF THE HOUR YOU ARE LIVING IN; Preached on Sunday, 3rd December, 2017; Pg. 102 vs. 13 – 15 13Any day THE SON OF MAN begins to approve for you things that run contrary to teaching, that will make you to compete with the world, THE SON OF MAN has already rejected you. He has started giving you your heart’s desire.
64. 14Any day I begin to give you authority to absent yourself from the fellowship of the Saints or to do something that is against the doctrines of Christ that we have received, which God has confirmed to be true, and you begin to rejoice, “Daddy has approved it. I told Him. he approved it”, He has already discarded you.
65. 15When God discards a man or a woman, He begins to dance to the tunes of the person’s desire.
66. Enquire of the Lord, and He will tell you the right thing to do and the right way to go, for without God’s guidance, everybody is groping in darkness and must surely stumble. If you want to do it without God, suffer it without God. Period.
67. 1I have told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter, or be caused to stumble and fall away). [I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled.] And rebel!
68. 2They will put you out of (expel you from) the synagogues; but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think and claim that he has offered service to God. 3And they will do this because they have not known the Father or Me.
69. 4But I have told you these things now, so that when they occur you will remember that I told you of them. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
70. 5But now I am going to Him Who sent Me, yet none of you asks Me, Where are You going? 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts [taken complete possession of them].
71. 7However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [INTO CLOSE FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU]; but if I go away, I will send Him…” I will do what? Send Him! Him! Him! Him! A personality. A human being.
72. …but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And when He comes, He will convict and convince the world and bring demonstration to it about sin [Sure!!!] and about righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God) and about judgment:
73. 9About sin, because they do not believe in Me [trust in, rely on, and adhere to Me]; 10 About righteousness (uprightness of heart and right standing with God), because I go to My Father, and you will see Me no longer; 11About judgment, because the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world [Satan] is judged and condemned and sentence already is passed upon him.
74. JUDGED, CONDEMNED AND SENTENCED ALREADY, BUT NOT YET EXECUTED.
75. Remember the topic I am handling:CONDEMNED AND AWAITING EXECUTION.
76. Has the person been condemned? Yes. EHas he or she been executed? No! He is still waiting, for the time appointed is not yet come.
77. 11About judgment, because the ruler (evil genius, prince) of this world [Satan] is judged and condemned and sentence already is passed upon him.
78. 12I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now.
79. 13But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH (THE WHOLE, FULL TRUTH).
80. For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; [No!] but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father;
81. HE WILL GIVE THE MESSAGE THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIM], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]
82. He will write history before events. He will tell you things that will happen in the future before they will come to pass, so that to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed.
83. He will let anyone who is embarking on a journey know what he or she is going to encounter ahead of time, for the person has made up his or her mind concerning the journey.
84. 14He will honour and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. Sure!!!
85. Like I am transmitting it to you now, which the Father has already confirmed before you with supernatural occurrence.
86. 15Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
87. 16In a little while you will no longer see Me, and again after a short while you will see Me. Amen!!!
88. A little while, the world seeth Me no more but you will see Me. If you read further it said, “Because I live, you will live also.”
89. We go further. The solemn prayer, or I call it the Benediction. The Benediction [Approval, Sanction, Blessing].
