My Red Letters
"A believer actually describes who we are. We believe. That's what we do."
~ Dr. Kevin L. Zadai
After you watch the video and read the study notes on this page, answer these questions here on the Blog mentioned above:
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.
You become surprised when you appear before Jesus because He is the Word of God. He will stare at you and not say a word. You'll go through an audit of your whole life in a fraction of a second. You'll be able to recount in detail everything you saw, but it'll be in a flash, and you'll be judged. He won't say a word, but He'll stand there and look at you. You will be judged based on everything you did with what you were given and what was written in the Word of God. Whether you decide to read it or do it, you're going to be judged by it. You're weighed with what He gave you versus what you did with it. You get a reward based on the return of that, so you can't just give Him back what He gave you. It's not an even exchange. Disobedience is equated in the Bible as unbelief; you disobey because you do not believe.
For example, you didn't believe that the stop sign meant to stop after a while. Even though you knew it, you ignored it, so you became disobedient. You disobeyed the word stop. That will be your judge because the minute you get hit, you're going to say, “I should have obeyed the sign,” and the police officer will say, “Yes, you should have.” The insurance company will tell you that you should have as well. You think the insurance company will pay for it, but you will pay for it for the next two years because your insurance rates will go up. It's not free; you're just making payments. I saw this in Heaven.
In these last days, we should be mindful and be in the fear of the Lord that every word that God has ever spoken will not fall to the ground. It's going to either produce fruit, or as Jesus said, it's going to be your judge. I believe that you're all going to hear this, and you're going to do it and be mindful now. The best thing you could do right now is turn yourself in and fall on that Rock, which is Christ, rather than the rock falling on you and being judged.
Paul explains that you will not be judged with the world when you judge yourself (1 Corinthians 11:31). I saw that our judgment is not like the world. We all appear before Jesus, and the spot that we appear on is where God breathed us into our mother’s womb. That’s why Paul says that we should judge ourselves now before we appear before Jesus on that spot. We are weighed on how heavy we’ve gotten, not physically, but how we have increased in what God gave us. You don’t want to do what everyone else is doing; you want to do what the Lord tells you to do. He might be telling you to raise your hands in worship to Him and let the chains fall off of you. The Lord has spoken over you and said you are delivered. He has said that you are debt-free and completely healed. He’s called you to have lasting relationships.
It's not God's will that we say goodbye to anybody or sever relationships. It happens because of sin, disobedience, and unbelief. Think about what Solomon said in Amos 3:3; “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” You don't get along with people because they disagree with you. That could be good or bad, but if you agree with the red letters and what Jesus said, then we have common ground. I try to find common ground with people. Can you believe that if we agree as touching this one thing, it will be done? The secret to the red letters and painting Jesus correctly is that you sit with yourself and counsel yourself as though you are someone else. You have to ask yourself, “what would I tell somebody?” Sit there and let the Holy Spirit counsel you. When I do this in my own time, I can hear God say to me, why don't you listen to your own counsel and do that right now? That's the secret.
DISCUSS:
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.
PRAYER:
In the name of Jesus, Father, I thank You for all the warriors all over the world. Thank You, Lord God, for all of the people that believe in You, and I thank You, Lord, that You're strengthening all the warriors and the Warrior Fellowships. I thank You, Lord, that every individual will fill their value. And I thank You, Lord, that they're going to be more mindful now that You have given commands and that You have said things and that we're going to fear You. We're going to honor Your word, and we're going to know, Lord, that when we are sent that we have a message that is being spoken as though You Yourself or Your messengers; Angels are speaking. We're speaking the authority. We're sons, we're ambassadors, and when we speak, we're speaking Your words, and they hold weight in the spirit. In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
