Concentrate on the Red Letters, the Words of Jesus

"You need to consider that we have everything we need right in front of us; we just need to apply what Jesus has said already."

~Kevin Zadai

It is the Spirit Who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
—John 6:63

DISCUSSION:
When I was with Jesus, I noticed He was quoting Himself as He spoke. It was amazing to encounter the actual Person that you read about in the Bible. Jesus said directly to me what I read in the Bible. In today's study, I want to discuss the importance of concentrating on the red letters in the Bible, which are the words that Jesus spoke.

Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
—Mark 9:23

Imagine Jesus saying, "Kevin, if you believe, nothing shall be impossible to you." I knew that Jesus stated in Mark 9:23 that if we believe, nothing will be impossible for us. Jesus continued quoting Himself throughout that time that I was with Him.

WE HAVE THE SAYINGS OF JESUS
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
—John 1:14

If I had to simply share my experience with Jesus in Heaven with a limited amount of words, I would express that the most important thing is that we have red letters in our Bible. We literally have the sayings of Jesus. We have exactly what He said, which is what He would tell us if He was with us. That is what He did with me; Jesus taught me for 45 minutes, and what He said was already in the Bible.

Jesus shared a couple of revelations that I was not familiar with at all, which was shocking to me because I received a degree in theology. I had studied extensively and thought I knew a lot about the Bible. I had gone through a four-year degree in Bible, then received another two-year degree in the Bible, plus I had had over 20 years of studying. Yet I didn't know some of the verses Jesus quoted, so I had to look them up.

When I returned from the operation where I experienced Heaven, I was bedridden for a couple of weeks. I took time to look up and review the scriptures that Jesus had spoken to me. There was one thing He told me that I thought was not in the Bible; it shocked me when I read that He actually said it in the Word. Those verses confirmed that my experience really happened; there was no way for me to know a book, chapter, and verse where Jesus said something that I didn't even realize He said.

CONCENTRATE ON THE WORDS OF JESUS
As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
—John 6:57

I'm humbly coming to tell you that if you want to be effective in this life and get out of it what you're supposed to, concentrate on the sayings of Jesus. If you were to glean from me, I would tell you to focus on the red letters and really look at what He was saying. Jesus could have said anything to me. There were other things He said that weren't direct quotes from the Bible; He talked to me as a person, not a robot quoting only Scripture. However, most of what He said was directly from the Bible. What He said was so important that He couldn't say it any better than He had already said it.

Think about the fact that Jesus spent 45 minutes with me, repeating things that were already in the Word of God. That speaks loudly that what we have is enough. If I were having my last conversation with somebody on earth, it would be this discussion that we are having now in this study. Your priority in life should be to study what Jesus said and understand His message; there's no difference between what He said and Who He is as a Person. He was exactly what the red letters represented when I met Him. His personality, quotes, and how He interacted with the masses, the disciples, and the Pharisees, were exactly that way when you encounter Him in person; there was no difference.

The Bible has represented Him correctly; however, ministers and churches have not always represented Him accurately. They had somehow changed it to be more appropriate for what they wanted, perhaps to make the people accept it more. But Jesus was black and white. He did not mince with words; He was concise and clear. I never walked away from a conversation with Him, wondering what He was trying to tell me. His conversations with you are very candid.

o How does Dr. Zadai's experience with Jesus in Heaven speak to the importance of focusing on the red letters in your Bible?

JESUS WANTS YOU TO COME UP HIGHER
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
—John 8:31-32

Jesus wants the best for you, but He also knows that you must come to a higher level of understanding. He does not excuse people; He tells you what you need to know, even if it hurts slightly. In the long run, He knows it's better for you to receive the truth. So He doesn't hide things from you. He tells you the truth. If you want the truth, He'll give it to you, and you have to be ready for it.

Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him Who sent Me."
—John 7:33  

When Jesus spoke in the Bible, He knew His time with his disciples and people on earth was limited. He had to get the message across in a timely manner.

I noticed that the red letters in the Bible are very powerful statements designed to get movement in your life.

• After Jesus spoke, He would wait to see if people were responding correctly.

• Jesus wanted to see maturity in His disciples. He was waiting for them to have ownership of what He was saying.

• The red letters in your Bible are meant to produce maturity to where there's a response.

• After months and months of Jesus teaching and helping the disciples, He waited to see if they would start engaging and doing the same things.

• If the disciples did not have that crossover of what was being taught to where they could do it, then Jesus was short with them, asking questions such as, "How long will I be with you? Why did you doubt? Why are you unbelieving? Why won't you listen to me?"

• He realized that they must accept His teachings and understand them. In other words, they had to be able to implement His words in their lives.

I believe that Jesus' disciples wanted Him to do everything; they recognized that He was the Son of God, but they did not understand that He would be going. They would be the ones who would carry out His mission. I noticed the same thing when He asked me, "Do you understand?" He wanted to know that I was taking it in and going to do something with it.

It wasn't enough for Jesus to tell me everything and send me back. In fact, after he sent me back, it took more years than He probably wanted for me to start implementing these things into my life. It took me a long time to recover from what happened to me. And to tell you the truth, I wasn't allowed to talk about it.

WE NEED TO OWN WHAT JESUS SAYS

I saw how ineffective the church and ministries were on the earth compared to what Jesus had ordained. It took many, many years for me to get to the place where I was even allowed to talk about my experience. I eventually started teaching these things and writing about them. However, I spent many years frustrated because I felt I couldn't change anything. Life was so different from the reality of what Jesus taught in the Bible; it was shocking.

Many years went by after the experience, and I did nothing with it except ponder it. I eventually started writing about it, then one day, I was able to begin to talk about it and teach it. However, I had to wait 13 years after it happened before I could start to talk about it. I remember the day I was permitted to share it; the power of God was so strong in that meeting that nobody was sitting or standing. Everybody was laid out, unable to get up, and I was just talking about what had happened to me.

From then on, I knew it was time; God had commissioned me to go forth.

You must get this; I'm telling you by the Spirit that you need to consider that we have everything we need right in front of us; we just need to apply what Jesus has said already. We need to own it and allow it to come into our lives. Ask yourself, "Do I really hear Jesus when He's speaking? Do I understand that He meant what He said?" When Jesus would say something to me, He emphasized it by saying, "I meant that." I looked at Him and thought that's a quote from the Bible, but until then, I hadn't taken Him seriously.

I attended Bible college, had many encounters in the Spirit, and had many of God's generals pray over me. I heard all the teachings, but when He asked me these questions, I realized I didn't believe them. It was embarrassing to meet Him, hear Him speak, and know He was the Son of the Most High God, yet realize I didn't take His words as seriously as I thought I had.

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOW YOU THE REALITY OF JESUS' WORDS

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to remembrance all things that I said to you.

—John 14:26

I urge you not to wait until you reach Heaven to take Jesus' words seriously. You may want to let the Holy Spirit of God, the Spirit of reality, shake you into the fear of the Lord, where you know that God's word is true. Honor and worship Him, knowing He is right and in most cases, you are wrong. I realized that Jesus was always right. When He said something, He was not making a suggestion; He was essentially telling us, "This is the way it is, and this is what I expect." When you meet Him, you see He is precise in everything.

Jesus loves you all and wants you to get this. He wants you to carry the ministry that he had on the earth. All of us at Warrior Notes are called to do this.

PRAYER:

Father, thank You for the anointing and Your power. Thank You, Lord, for bringing to pass everything that is supposed to happen in each individual's life. Father, anoint us and release the fear of the Lord to all of us right now at Warrior Notes. Lord, help us to understand the reality of Your words so we can accept them. In the name of Jesus, amen.

1. Discuss the reality that Jesus' words, the red letters in our Bible, are Who He is as a Person. Describe His personality and manner of communication.

2. The Bible represents Jesus correctly; however, ministries often do not. Why is it important to understand this discrepancy? How can we correct our own perception of Jesus?

3. When Jesus spoke to His disciples, knowing His time with them was limited, what did He hope they would do? According to the study, why didn't they always respond well? How can we learn from this and come up higher with Jesus?

4. The red letters in the Bible are very powerful statements; they are not mere suggestions. What are they designed to do in your life?

5. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth; He is the Spirit of reality. How does He help us to receive and understand Jesus' words?
