Faith

Last night I went to a meeting with Guest speaker, Bob Griffin who is a prophet.

 

There were so much spoken, imparted and taught, and encouraged.

 

One point during the meeting he was talking about Roman Catholicism and how he was brought up Catholic but that there is the obvious unbiblical teachings of the church.  He had seen a picture of people caught in caves, chained.  Some of these chains are religious.

 

I was thinking about this picture on the way home and was praying for my family.

 

As my dream in my previous post described the need to be standing upon the Rock of the revelation of Jesus Christ I was praying that for myself.  As some of my family are still very parochial Catholic and it's ways, they often send me things.

 

I often want to say I am not Catholic!  I stand upon the Rock of Jesus Christ as God's only Son - Saviour of the world - Christ the King, Lord above all god's.   Lord of all.

 

Peter was mentioned as the Apostle of Faith and I was thinking about his revelation.

 

A saying came to my thoughts and a declaration as I felt like I needed to speak it out

 

I am not under the Pope, I am under Christ, OUR HOPE!

 

Yes, Jesus is the way the truth and the life and there is no other way to heaven but through Him.

 

 

 

Jesus is Lord of Lord's and King of King's.  God has given Him full and final authority.

 

That He sits at the right hand of the Father.

 

In the Old Testament through Genesis I read how birthrights and blessings were passed down from Father to Son's through the laying on of their hands on the head of their children.  To he who would inherit the birthright and the blessing, the Right Hand of the Father would be laid upon that child and the left hand would be laid upon the other.  So I just see the picture of Jesus at the Right Hand of God as a powerful picture.  He is seated and Has defeated all His enemies.

 

So no where in scripture does it tell me to honour anyone else above Jesus.  That He is the only way to the Father..... Christ in you the hope of glory!!!  I love that scripture.

 

There is no other hope or place where we should place our hope other than in Jesus Christ

God's Son!





Jesus: King of Kings

The other night I had a dream. A person known to me was wearing a pair of brown ankle boots. She was struggling to walk in them and her left leg was being dragged behind her.  The person gave me the boots to try on to see if I wanted them, as in the natural we sometimes exchange shoes. I tried them on but although they seemed to fit length wise the shoes were really heavy. They were really wide inside, didn't feel nice and although similar the shoes were actually a little different, not even complete with material missing, not matching and even the laces seemed odd.

 

I knew the shoes were no good, not for me and I could see why she had trouble walking in them. I then saw a glimpse of the brand name on the ankle area, which was a brand that use to make shoes and I don't know if they still do?

 

The brand name was 'Roc

 

The message I saw was she was trying to walk on the Rock without the K. The Roc's didn't fit, were heavy and made her walk very tough. This person is in what I would call a religious system that inhibits the full knowledge and reverence of Christ as King and Lord over all.

 

When I woke I said to a friend that the K for Rock was missing and that we are told stand on the Rock of the revelation who Jesus Christ is. Then my friend said K for King.

 

I thought yes. Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. Amen. And He is also Jesus Christ our King. The revelation of Peter is key! To understand He is Lord and King above all is key!

 

So, He is Lord and King, Redeemer, Love, the Christ who takes away the sins of the world and if we have seen Him, we have seen God. To know Him is to know God. That Our Father has revealed Himself in Christ and made Him Lord over all. God is Lord over all. He is preeminent!

 

We are to stand on the full revelation of Jesus Christ our ROCK. All He has done and wants for us 'as a partial understanding' will hinder our walk, our standing, our identity and even salvation itself.

So, we can pray and encourage each other to know Jesus better. To really acknowledge who He is. That people would know Him as the Christ, the Son of the living God, Christ our King! People who don't yet know Him, people who are stuck in religious systems that blind their sight in the truth..... And for our brothers and sisters, to encourage and build each other in Christ, and to encourage each other in to the fullness we have which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Matthew 16:13-20

When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (the revelation of who Jesus is) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

God's Word to my Mum.

My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in the yr 2000 approx. She had found a lump in her right breast so she went to the doctor and had tests to confirm it. Quickly she had an operation; her breast and some lymph nodes were removed, with the cancer said to be relatively aggressive and estrogen fed.

Her next challenge was the process of Chemotherapy. She lost her hair, her wellness, but she seemed so strong emotionally. I spent a couple of weeks with her early on, looking after her as she recovered from her operation as well as going through her initial chemo treatment. (We live in different States in Australia, so I had some time off to be with her).

Once this chemo process was all done she would then have 6 monthly and then yearly checks, to make sure there was no return of the cancer.  In the 10th year she had her final check and they said there is no need for her to come back - she was cancer free.
