The Daily Word of Righteousness
In My Father's House, #15
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (Romans 16:20)
During the darkest hours of earth's history, which even now are at hand, God will enter His people in mighty hope and strength. The Divine power arising in the saints in fulfillment of the Old Testament feast of Tabernacles will sustain them in the face of Antichrist and the False Prophet, and finally will crush Satan and all his works.
The overwhelming victory of the Body of Christ, as the Father and the Son enter the obedient saints and make Their abode with them, is described in many passages of the Old Testament.
Typical of these passages is the following selection from Joel. It tells of God rising up in power in His people at the time of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ:
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion [the Body of Christ], and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. (Joel 3:16)
Compare John 14:20:
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
By faith in the written Word we know that Christ is in His Father, and we are abiding in Him, and He is abiding in us. Now our faith turns into experience and revelation as we live by the Life and love of Christ. Now we know Christ is in God, and we are in Him and He in us.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:21)
In order to receive the Father and Christ, as described in the above passage, we first must keep the words of Christ. His words are contained primarily in the four Gospel accounts.
Christ commanded us to do many things: to seek first the Kingdom of God, to give to the poor, to love our enemies, to be meek in spirit, to love God with all of our heart and soul and our neighbor as ourselves. The entire New Testament is filled with the commandments of Christ, in His own words in the Gospels, and then in the words of the Apostles.
The Holy Spirit helps us as we make the attempt to do what Jesus commanded us.
This is our part. We show our love for Jesus by doing what He said. If we do not practice what Christ taught we do not love Him.
If we love Jesus we will keep His sayings. Then the Father will love us. Now we are ready for Christ to make Himself known to us.
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (John 14:22)
