Introduction:

1 Corinthians 1: 22 – 24

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Preachers and teachers today want to “stand out, to be relevant” and be “in touch” with the people. They want to preach to “the temporary needs” of people instead of to their deepest need which is Spiritual identity.

Preaching to “temporary needs of the flesh” amounts to no more than preaching to the selfish and idolatrous cravings of the flesh.  2 Timothy 4: 3, 4, “For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suite their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

The revelation of “Spiritual birth” in man-made religion is a stumbling block to those who prefer “the old-time religion”, and foolishness to those who believe “there are many roads that lead to God.”

In the religious silos, aka the “church of man-made religion” sin, judgment, grace and redemption are taught but only as a deterrent from the idea of experiencing hell, fire, and brimstone.

An exchange of identity sounds like foolishness to those who are perishing—those who are operating in Spiritual darkness, but for the person who understands Spiritual birth it is in this, the “power of God” that we live. 1 Corinthians 1 :18, 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

As we continue our discussion in 1 Corinthians, I trust that revelation knowledge of the Father will come forth in His power and might.

2 Corinthians 4: 4 – 9  

4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory (the divine nature of God the Father) of Christ, who is the image of God (the Father). 5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as “your” servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light (illumination of divine truth) shine in our hearts to give us the light (illumination of divine truth) of the knowledge of the glory of God (His divine nature) in the face (the expression of His Son) of Jesus Christ.

 7 Now we have this treasure (the divine nature of the Father) in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not us.

 8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, down but not destroyed.

Political divide, racial tension, economic inequality, murder, corruption, deception, and grasping for the illusion of power are being seen and experienced in our world in real time.

Many are feeling betrayed by the entities and powers that be, that are supposed to protect and serve by providing a better way of life, but instead have offered a bitter cup of doubt, confusion and hopelessness.

We are in an hour where intense fear, anxiety, and fainting of hearts caused by global distress, catastrophic events, and uncertainty of the future has gripped the hearts and minds of many.

The minds of unbelievers, (those who are not yet Spiritually birthed as well as those who are Spiritually birthed but do not know who they are as the Spiritual Son of God), have been blinded by the great illusionist, fear.

This great illusionist, “fear”, has kept many in bondage to the original flesh identity, keeping them from perceiving the good news of Spiritual equality with God the Father through Spiritual birth.

The world is getting darker and darker, but the TRUE LIGHT that is revealed in the Father’s Spiritual Sons is getting brighter and brighter! PRAISE BE TO THE FATHER!

Today’s message is a message of encouragement and standing in faith. Not from the perspective of man-made religion — “trust God and speak life into your situations”, nor from the perspective of the world — “continue to fight for truth, justice and equality in order to make the world a better place.”

Because of lack of and/or incomplete knowledge of faith, many do not understand what the deeper meaning of “standing in faith” implies. And because of this lack of knowledge and understanding they hijack other people’s faith and try to make it their own, and are frustrated when things don’t work out the way they expect.

Today, we will explore what “standing in faith” looks like Spiritually and I trust the Father that revelation knowledge and understanding will come forth in His power and might.

Be encouraged, “stand in faith, and remain firm in the truth God has given to you.”

John chapter 17 takes place immediately after the Upper Room discourse (John 13-16) and is just before Jesus goes to Gethsemane.

This is the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in the Gospels.

The final hour has come. The Father would glorify the Son, and through the Son’s obedience to the Father, the humankind would witness the glory of the Father.

Jesus intentionally prays to the Father out loud in the disciples hearing, allowing the disciples to hear His heart, identity and experience the intimacy between God the Father and His Son.

Jesus fully understands His mission and allows His disciple a glimpse into eternity when He says to the Father, “I have glorified You (past tense) on the earth having accomplished (past tense) the work You gave Me to do.” These words point to an accomplished event in eternity.

Jesus praying for the disciples as if He was already gone from their presence, and praying for those who would come to believe because of their message no doubt left the disciples afraid, confused and perplexed.

One can only imagine what the disciples must have thought in hearing Jesus speak these words.

“Had Jesus’ mission come to end?” And if so, “what’s next for us?”

As we continue our discussion in John chapter 17 there are some things that I would like us to take a deeper look into:

• The word “Glory” and “Glorify” and how it relates to the Cross, and Spiritual Sons
• Eternal life
• Spiritual birth
• What is the nuance behind “In Your Name”

Timing is everything! The success or failure of an action, opportunity, or event heavily depends on “when” it happens, not just “what” it is, emphasizing that the right moment is crucial for achieving the desired outcome.

It’s about aligning one’s action with external conditions and one’s readiness for them. This is done in the hopes of maximizing the positive impact of the action that is done.

In the natural, good timing often involves intuition, patience, and being aware of the flow of events.

As we will see in John chapter 16, the Father’s “good” timing of sending the Holy Spirit was dependent upon two things; “External” conditions, and the disciples’ “internal” readiness to receive Him.

The external conditions are apparent to us (post-resurrection readers); the crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of the Christ, but for the disciples the things that Jesus would share with them were shrouded in questions, confusion, grief and fear concerning the unknown.

The on-going dialog between Jesus and His disciples created the ideal conditions in the disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit – “cognitive dissonance.”

The discomfort, anxiety, avoiding asking questions, all signs of cognitive dissonance, would provide a platform of “inner readiness” for the disciples to receive the Holy Spirit and His guidance.

I trust the Father as we continue in our discussion, our hearts and minds are prepared as we receive the Spirit of truth’s guidance into Spiritual revelation and understanding.

John 15 continues Jesus’ Upper Room Discourse. The setting is intimate and covenantal. Jesus is preparing the disciples for life after His departure, explaining how divine life will continue to flow through Him.

John’s “vine imagery” emphasizes the believers union with Christ, explaining the process that produces “fruit,” while in Galatians 5 Paul emphasizes and describes the “content of the fruit—the divine nature,” which is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Paul also provides us with knowledge as to “WHY” we are able to live from the “fruit,”—the flesh was crucified with its passions and desire, (Galatians 5:24) and now those who are Spiritually birthed are able to live and walk from their divine nature and new Spiritual identity.

Jesus speaks of agape love, a type of love that the disciples had “received” from Jesus and the Father, but they themselves had not yet been able to give due to the fact that they themselves had not yet been filled with the Holy Spirit. (John 14:17—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because they neither see Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be “IN” you.)  

I trust the Father that as we continue our discussion in John chapter, our knowledge and understanding of Agape love will be deepened as we continue to live as the Spiritual Son in the process of Sonship.

Last week our brother David laid before us a powerful revelation on what the Father gave him concerning Jesus’ words to the disciples as to what they would know on “That Day.”

Rom 8:14-17 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are Sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of Sonship as Sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Sons of God, 17 and if Sons, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

This is the day to which Jesus is referring – the day or time the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the Sons of God!  In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you This is what they will know! And all those who receive Spiritual birth!

Like the disciples, many in religion and many Spiritually birthed Sons are operating in their original birth identity.

Brother Dwight said this in his message:

“However, remember that the disciples before Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection, could not be and were not yet Spirit-birthed Sons. The disciples STILL LIVED and operated only in their original birth identity.”

Although everything in the Bible is Spiritual, it is read, viewed, perceived and interpreted by many through the senses of the flesh.

Jesus said “On That Day” (Of Spiritual Birth) the disciples would have three revelations; “You will know that I am in the Father,” “You will know you are in Me,” and lastly “You will know that I am in you.” But this was not only for the disciples of that day, but this is for every Spiritually born-again believer.

pray with these words of Paul from Ephesians 1: 18-21 for those who are Spiritually birthed and those who will be birthed into the family of God in the future,

18. I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, 19. and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, 20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  

As we conclude our discussion in John chapter fourteen, I trust the Father will continue to take us into a greater revelation of our Union, Oneness and Identity as His Spiritual Sons in the Family of God.

The Apostle John and his younger brother James were called “The sons of thunder,” likely because of their fiery temperament.

Early in Jesus’ ministry, John wanted to call down fire from heaven to destroy a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus.

John was passionate, sometimes reckless but he was deeply devoted to Jesus and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

But something happened to John over the years walking with Jesus. The hot-teered young fisherman was transformed into the “Apostle of Love”. He became known as the disciple Jesus loved, not because Jesus loved him more than the others, but because John understood and received that love in a way that changed everything about him.

John 13 is one of the most intimate and Spiritually rich chapters in the Gospel of John.

It marks a major transition in Jesus’ ministry—from His public teaching to His private preparation of the disciples for His death and their future mission.

The chapter reveals Jesus’ humility, love, and foreknowledge, paving the way for His sacrificial death and resurrection, in which He and the Father would be glorified.

I trust the Father that through His Spirit, He will continue to reveal Himself to us as “Father” and who we are to Him as His “Spiritual Son”.

We are living in a time when people are just trying to survive! Whether it be a job, economic disparities, social injustice, or a marriage that is on the brink of collapse, people are hanging on with every ounce of human strength just to maintain a sense of “keeping it together.” The illusion of there being a moral compass in societies has been unmasked.

2 Timothy 3:1-4 says,

1.But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy 3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4. traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these.   

In the Church the idea of being “saved” or “born-again” has been so diluted and muddied with subjective ideas of man-made religion to such a large degree, that it has left many in the Church disillusioned and confused while trying to “wade” through the woes and cares of the world.

In a time where it appears that the world is spinning out of control, including the Church with it, these powerful words from John bring comfort and peace to the one who “knows” that they are the Spiritual Son of God.

“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may “know” that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5: 13

I trust the Father that, “…The eyes of “our” heart “will” be enlightened, so that “we” may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints 19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. (Ephesians 1: 18,19) as we continue our discussion in the final chapter of John’s first epistle.

Last week our dear brother Dwight Davis presented us with the message titled “The Father Who is Eternal Agape Love.”

We are living in an hour where fear has gripped the hearts and minds of men and women throughout the world, as well as many Spiritual Sons in the Body of Christ. Fear has blinded these Spiritual Sons to the realization that “The Father is Eternal Agape Love,” and has inhibited their ability in living out of the Agape love birthed in them.

With the arrival of AI and ChatGPT on the internet, some are questioning what information is true and what is false. While some accept everything that they see and hear as truth.

Due to mis-information, dis-information and mal-information, emotional temperatures are rising among groups of people based on political affiliations, geographical origins, ethnicity and culture identities which has created an atmosphere of fear, hate and distrust.

Sadly, as a result, many men and women, and Spiritual Sons in the Church hearts have “waxed” cold.

Mathew 24: 7- 12 says,

7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12. And because lawlessness will be increased, the agape/ love of many will grow cold.

“Love” is one of the most misunderstood and misused Spiritual Truths taught in the Church, man-made religion and the secular world.

Because many in the body of Christ do not understand Spiritual birth, they continue to fall prey to the deception and illusion that bearing the title of being a “Christian” makes them “standout” in the world versus being a Spiritual Son who is light/phōs in the world through which the good works of God the Father are seen. (Matthew 5:14-16)

As we continue our discussion in 1 John chapter four, I trust the Father that the move the Spirit will create cognitive dissonance in people moving them from the “comforts of illusion” in man-made religion into the Spiritual reality of Sonship.

As we continue our discussion in the 1 John chapter three, I trust the Spirit that new revelation knowledge and understanding will illuminate our hearts and mind.

The message on “The Eternal Seed of Spirit Birthing,” shared by brother Dwight, and part one of the message, “Now Comes Love, The See, And the Son,” shared by brother David, has laid a foundation in which I will continue to build upon in the revelation of Spiritual Birth, Oneness and Identity given to “ME” through the revelation given to the Apostle John.

1 John 3 continues John’s themes of love, righteousness, and identity in Christ. It emphasizes the believer’s new, the contrast between children of God and the devil, and the central role of love as evidence of Spiritual birth.

In man-made religion, as well as the Church, being a “Christian” has evolved into an entity comprised of multiple identities (e.g., political, cultural, societal identities), thus creating a religious schizophrenic atmosphere appearing as “being enlightened and relevant” to the time in which we live.

In the western region, the idea that the preservation of “political values,” “cultural values” and “Christian values,” are critical and essential in protecting and preserving our “identity as a Christian nation” has been widely accepted in many churches today as well as the secular world.

I want to leave you with this thought to ponder and think on as we continue our discussion in 1 John Chapter three.
If one does not “know” who they are Spiritually as a Spiritual Son of God the Father, “self-righteousness” masquerading under the guise of “Defender for the oppressed,” “Advocate for injustice” and last but not least “Protector of Christianity” is present.
