Bible Study Galatians 6:1

Revelation 17:14

14 They will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and those with Him and on His side are chosen and called [elected] and loyal and faithful followers.

Satan loses and those who join with him lose as well. All who join with him will suffer destruction. These leaders will wage war on Truth. During this time the people of the world will be scared to death, so they will want religion. The anti-christ and the false prophet will give it to them, but Jesus, while mentioned, will be moved to the background, and man will elevated. God will be spoke of, but to bring the muslim world in, I believe that the predominance of Jesus will be removed. They will focus on man, and what we can do if we are unified under one man. There will be miracles and people will be deceived by them. They will preach about how Christianity never unified when Jesus was the focus, so they will wage war on the Truth and those of us who have the Truth. We will be hated, but the Truth that has set us free, is that we are standing beside the glassy sea, empowered and sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of our redemption. We may be required to be martyred for our Father, but that yoke will be easy and that burden will be light! And Jesus will win!

It is easy to see that we will be hated during the end times. But the glory of it all is that while we will be hated, we will be empowered by our Father to love those who hate us. Our Father will cause us to bless those who curse us. Feed those who despise us. Intercede for those who despitefully use us. We will forgive them as often as they need it. Our Father will never allow us to abandon them and the love of our Lord will flow from us as rivers of living water. Even if they are killing us, we will insure that they are never held accountable for it. Just as our Lord was empowered to cry out for the lost, so will we be empowered. 

The Secret Of Strength

If you lay all these instructions before the brethren, you will be a worthy steward and a good minister of Christ Jesus, ever nourishing your own self on the truths of the faith and of the good [Christian] instruction which you have closely followed. 1 Timothy 4:6

The secret of Christ is simple and it is this, whatever we are used by the Holy Spirit to sow, is what we will reap, Galatians 6:7. Paul tells Timothy this Truth in 1 Timothy 4. So let’s put this principle in real world applications. If we want to be used by our Father, we are to pray for others to be used by Him. If we want peace, we pray for other’s to have peace. If we want to know the Truth, we share the Truth. If we want health, we are to lay hands on the sick, pray for them, forgive them, call on them to be whole and we will have health. If they ask us to walk a mile, we walk two. If we have two coats, we give one away. The secret of having strength is seeking out the well being of others and taking far, far, more thought for them, then we do for ourselves.

Now, the power behind all of this is that we cannot do these things, it has to be Christ in us, John 15:5. Our Father knows this and He is actively participating in each of our life’s so that we are ever growing stronger, by ever increasing our desire and abilities to serve others. I hear sermons all of the time that tell us what we have to do. But the glorious Truth is that it is what our Father has to do through us, not what we have to do on our own, John 14:10. It is our Father that must give us the desire, the ability, and the faith to serve others. This is why there is no condemnation for us, Romans 8:1, and this is why we cannot boast, Ephesians 2:9. So if we are serving, praise God, we are only serving because our Father has empowered us to serve. And if we aren’t serving, it is only because He has not empowered us to serve yet. Either way, our Father’s will is being done and He is glorified and our Kingdom is being served.

I pray for each and everyone of you, that our Father will empower you to serve as Jesus serves and to love as He loves. That you may be filled to all of the fulness of salvation, ever living to intercede for others, placing their needs above your own needs and eagerly desiring that they are perfect in Christ and perfectly used by Christ. I also pray that our Father will bring us together, with one heart, one mind, one accord and that He will demonstrate His mighty strength and ability through each of us.

Ministry Beyond Words

"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor the princes of this world, that come to nought," 1 Corinthians 2: 4-6

Our ministering will absolutely go beyond mere Words, even though our Words are God’s Words, and even though they are eternal Words. As we are anointed to preach the Truth, we will have the Spirit of our Father working His signs and wonders through us. Our Father does this through us so that our faith will not just stand in the wisdom of man! As Jesus said, we will be able to be bitten by deadly snakes, or drink deadly things, and suffer no ill effects from it. We will be used by our Father to cast out demons. The Holy Spirit will cause us to speak and pray in new tongues, and we will be led through the love of our Father to lay hands on the sick and they will recover!

Jesus had the Spirit of God working through Him as He preached the Good News and look at how our Father ministered through Him. As our Father led Jesus to preach the Truth, thousands of people were healed and set free! Jesus walked on the water, He raised the dead, and He prophesied the secrets of people’s lives openly. Jesus’ ministry went beyond Words into actions and Jesus proclaimed that it was always God within Him doing the works! Peter’s ministry did the same, so did Paul’s, and so did Stephen’s! Our Father's signs and wonders followed all who were in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost. Our Father worked miracles in the Old Testament, He worked them through Jesus, and He worked them in the New Testament, and our Father never changes! “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6

Jesus said that the people should believe His Words because of the Works that they saw God performing through Him. “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works sake.” John 15:11 Through Christ we are now in God and He is now within us, so the same holds true for us! It’s the same God Who changes not doing His works through us. Faith comes from hearing the Truth that we too should have the demonstration of the Holy Spirit working through us!

Through Christ We Will Be Used By God To Do All Things

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

Is there anything that Jesus cannot do? Absolutely not, He can do anything and that is the force that is now strengthening us. Jesus has unlimited access to the full power of our Father, because the Two of Them are One! This is our strength! Jesus spoke to situations, He told them what to do and they obeyed Him! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, He changes not! He will speak through us as He spoke. No, it’s even more powerful than that, He will speak through us as He now speaks, with the full empowerment of the New Covenant!

As we speak people should hear God, they should see His righteousness through us. We should tell storms to stop, the sick to be whole, and the dead to be raised. We should tell the demons to flee, because it is our Father within us empowering us to speak! We should speak with the full power of the resurrection and of the love of God! The Truth is this: our Father now has the full freedom to speak through us just as He spoke through Jesus, because the separation of sin has been removed from us! Our Father has not given us a spirit of fear; we can have all joy in accepting and believing this. He has given us a sound mind, a mind of His Anointing; so that we can understand this, and He has given us His love that now dwells within us.

To speak as Jesus speaks is to allow the love of our Father to be fully active within our lives! Jesus came and He healed the sick, He spoke of the love of God and now God has millions of bodies to speak through! Jesus came as one man and He spoke of salvation, and millions throughout the ages have believed and been saved. And now our Father has millions of us to speak the same message through! Jesus has given us Himself, and through His strength, we are now able to allow Him to be all that He is within us! There are now no limitations for the power of God to be revealed within us on the earth! Our Father can do all things through us, because His Anointing has strengthened us so that He can!

Our Mind Wants To Be Used By God

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

Jesus has given us a sound mind. He has given us His mind. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 Jesus has given us His mind and Jesus’ mind knows that our Father will produce much fruit through us! We now have the peace and the wisdom that Jesus has about us. We know beyond any shadow of a doubt, just as Jesus knows, that it is our Father within us producing His fruit! We have been given a mind of knowledge that knows it’s only by the Anointing of God, which is Christ, that God is able to work through us! We do not fear this Truth that we have to put complete and total trust in God and that we can place no trust in ourselves. The sound mind that our Father has given us, gives us the ability to believe this way! We have been given the same mind as Christ, we now believe as He believes!

We know that it is a lie of the devil that says God helps those who help themselves! We now have a mind that does not fear the complete and total power of God that is working through us! We have a mind that desires the fullness of God to be within us and a mind that expects Him to do His works through us! We have a mind that expects victory in every situation and in every area of our lives!

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14

This is the faith that Jesus has given us, His faith, and there is not one work that we could ever perform that could ever earn it. Our flesh on its own just doesn’t have the ability to work that way! But through Christ, our Father will always cause us to triumph and He will always use us to make Jesus known in every place! Through Christ, our Father will lead us into the world to preach the Gospel to every creature and through Christ we will proclaim from the rooftops what Jesus proclaimed in silence!

God Uses Us Righteously

“If you know (perceive and are sure) that He [Christ] is [absolutely] righteous [conforming to the Father's will in purpose, thought, and action], you may also know (be sure) that everyone who does righteously [and is therefore in like manner conformed to the divine will] is born (begotten) of Him [God].” 1 John 2:29

This scripture is one of the most powerful scriptures that we will ever find in the New Testament and the reason is this, the eternal Word of God says that we are actually righteous! We can actually be righteous, our flesh doesn’t hinder us from being righteous, and our past doesn’t limit us. Not only does the sacrifice of Jesus make us righteous in our Father's eyes, it actually empowers Him to use us to do righteous works! And because we are used by God to do righteous works, people will know that we are born again. Now the really powerful thing with this verse is that our Father puts our righteous works right in the same category as Jesus’ righteous works! God does this because He is the One doing the works through us, just as He was the One doing the works through Jesus!

Jesus came so that we might be saved. He came to be offered on the Cross and to shed His Blood for us. Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice; so that we could stand righteous before God, apart form our own works. Jesus came so that our Father's grace and mercy might be fully shown to all who are called and chosen.

Yet ask yourself this question, if this was the only reason that Jesus came, why did He have to wait until He was in His thirties to be offered? If this was the only reason that Jesus came, why did He have a ministry before hand? Why did Jesus heal people, why did He perform miracles? Why did He expound on our Father's Truths and why did He prophesy? The reason Jesus did all of these things as well is because Jesus came not only to save us, but also to show us how we could live through the power of God which is His Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit that He has!

“He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6 Jesus didn’t begin His public ministry or any of His miraculous works until He was filled with the Holy Spirit. Now He was fully God before He did any of these things, so He was fully the Holy Spirit before His baptism. But yet our Father had it happen as an event, so John the Baptist could see the Spirit descending upon Him as God told him that he would. This was to show that we too would have the Holy Spirit come upon us, that Jesus wasn’t apart from us, but rather that He was the First-born among many brethren. “For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29

Jesus did all of His ministerial works, He spoke all of His prophesies, and He performed all of His healings and miracles by the power of God that dwelled within Him. “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doth the works.” John 14:10 We have the exact same Holy Spirit within us that Jesus has and we have the exact same God within us that Jesus has. We are born from the same exact same Incorruptible Seed that bore Jesus; so we too will have God performing His righteous works through us just as He did through Jesus! Because the same forces of righteousness that worked through Jesus, now work through us!

This is the biggest mistake that most people make about Jesus while attempting to glorifying Him as Lord, they think we have to limit God’s ability through us to something less than it was through Him. It doesn’t glorify Jesus by attempting to degrade our Father's power through us. What glorifies Jesus as Lord is our Father being the force within our lives, as it is the force within His life! Jesus came as a Savior so that God could be all He is within us. Jesus repeatedly said that it was our Father within Him and Jesus called Himself the Son of Man. He did this to show us, that we could serve God in the same way He serves God, by God being all that He is within us! Now because that is true, our works will be righteous ones. This is how people will know that we are born again, by our Father working righteously through us, just as He worked righteously through Jesus! We aren’t just called righteous by God, we actually are righteous and we actually perform righteous works. Our humanity doesn’t limit God; the Blood of Christ has overcome the weakness of our flesh! “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.” John 14:12
