After you watch the video and read the study notes below, answer these questions here:
Why are laws in place, and why is it essential to adhere to them?
How does this reflect on our obedience to God and upholding that in our relationship with Him?
1. When you think about the example with the stop sign and not abiding by the laws of the earth, how might you have started not to take God's word seriously?
2. What are the words God has spoken over you either through prophecy, prayers, or from Him directly? Remember them and believe they will come to pass.
3. Explain and discuss the red letters that Jesus has spoken in the Bible? (We know in certain countries; your Bible doesn't have the red letters).
4. What is it that gets in the way of you remembering what God has said? What causes you to get into unbelief about what He’s said over your life?
5. Discuss the secret that God revealed to me concerning the red letters and His Counsel.
6. Pray Together.
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
—John 12:48
DISCUSSION:
Jesus showed me how important the red letters are in the Word of God. During my time with Him in Heaven, He spoke His word and quoted it to me. He also quoted Moses and the prophets. He spoke about John 14, and He said, I meant that. Jesus shouldn’t ever have to say anything more than once. He told me that I have heard many sermons and encountered many ministries and teachings, but they don’t paint me in red or mention the red-letter words. I thought He must be referring to the Bible because His words are printed in red when He says something.
He said that my Word is in red, and when you paint me, you should paint me in red. He's talking about His blood and redemption. He began to refer to the message as though it had lost its power. God only has to say something once, but He's speaking through His Son in these last days. He has spoken in different ways through the prophets, but He chooses to speak to us through His Son in these end times.
THE MESSAGE OF THE LORD
Luke 10:16 TPT: Jesus concluded his instructions to the seventy with these words: “Remember this: Whoever listens to your message is actually listening to me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me, and not only me but the one who sent me.”
You need to remind yourself of this verse every day because if you become compromised in who you are as a person, the message gets diluted. Then the hearers don’t get to hear the potent message. I see this happening with professionals; they know the laws and how things are supposed to be done. If they begin to compromise a little bit before you know it, the very thing in place becomes ignored. As long as you obey, it's out of your mind, and things are okay. If you don’t follow certain boundaries or the authority in place, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a problem. You begin to realize why that boundary was there, yet you ignored it.
For example, you know that there's a stop sign, and you go to that stop sign every day, and there's never anybody going or coming from the other direction. After a while, you only look one way instead of both ways. You’ve neglected the law, but you don't know it until one day you get T-boned, and you realize that you've let this go, and then it bites you. Jesus was giving out commands and instructions to the 70, and after a while, they may have forgotten them, but it got to a point where Jesus had to correct them about their unbelief. He sent them out, but things weren't working with what He sent them to do. At what point do we realize that Christians have forgotten that they were sent, instructed, and represent Jesus? The angels know it, and I know that when I speak God's Word, it's as though God Himself is speaking. I'm not saying it like someone who's repeating, like a parrot. A parrot would hear something, but he doesn't know what he's saying. He's just repeating what he heard. Many religious leaders quote the Word of God, and they don't even believe it or aren't even born again. The devils know when you're repeating and acting rather than being it. The fact is that there’s a potency to Jesus saying it through you. That reality would change our personal walk with God. It has to do with being a believer. I don't call people Christians anymore because it's become a phrase. The name “believer” describes who we are. We believe. That's what we do, and it’s natural.
Why are laws in place, and why is it essential to adhere to them? How does this reflect on our obedience to God and upholding that in our relationship with Him?
STAYING ON COURSE
When Jesus told the disciples they would go out, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out devils, He sent them to represent Him, and it was just as potent. I get disappointed when I don’t see something happen, and I can’t believe it. The Lord said it was going to happen. Then a year later, it transpires, and I see that the person finally received revelation, and now we can move on. Until then, there was the idea that nothing would happen to me, so I could disobey the laws in place.
Jesus gave the disciples the message to speak and go forth as though it were Him. He warned them that if people reject them, it's because they rejected Him. In other words, we're not supposed to take it personally if they reject us, but if they accept us, it's because they accept Jesus. We have to remind ourselves of that. Jesus told me, when you paint me, paint me with red letters because my words are eternal, and you shouldn't have to tell somebody something twice, but in a fallen world, we must repeat things.
APPEARING BEFORE GOD
John 12:48: If you reject me and refuse to follow my words, you already have a judge. The message of truth I have given you will rise up to judge you at the Day of Judgment.
He’s letting you know that you already have a judge, and you've already been judged. It’s not a fun sermon to have on Sunday in your church, but this is the Jesus that we serve. He’s essentially saying that the message of truth I've given you will rise up as your judge one day, and this will judge you. It's still in the Bible, and it hasn’t been taken out. It says that if you reject me and refuse my words, you've already been judged.
