Go into the world and preach the gospel (good news of the Kingdom of God) to every creature. So it was written, and so it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day and that the repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Believe in Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater than these he will do, because I go to the Father. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Where I am going you may not follow me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.
Behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal. The Kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, “See here!” or “See there!” For indeed the Kingdom is within you. For their sake I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father are in me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. I In them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You love Me. O’ Righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we confess our sins, He is faithful to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God our Father was faithful and sent to us the Lord Jesus as promised. Our Lord Jesus was faithful and fulfilled His life’s mission. God the Father and our Lord Jesus was and is faithful in delivering to us the Holy Spirit. Our Lord Jesus is faithful in being our righteousness, our salvation, our strength and taking from us our sins. Humanity has a habit of blaming our sins on each other. Adam in the garden blamed the women God gave him. Eve blamed the serpent. Jesus came to say, “Do not blame another, confess and I will take the sin. Admit that you sin and I will take away the punishment and give you life. “ Do not hide the sin in the shadows and seek to pass blame. Instead stand in the light and let it be washed clean by our Salvation. If you fear the light, call on the name of our Strength. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ, Immanuel.
From before creation the Word of God was with God and was God. The Word commanded the Spirit and the worlds came to be. The Word created all things and without Him nothing was created. God spoke and it was so. The Word came and became part of the creation. The Word suffered with the creation and redeemed it. Humans asked God for a human king. The Word became human to be that king. But God is Spirit and it is in the Spirit that we know God the King. The Word lived as a human and died to change the end of the human existence from death into eternal life in the Kingdom that is known by the Spirit. The life begins the moment one confesses their sin and accepts the Word as their redemption and receives the Holy Spirit. In that Spirit we know Jesus and Jesus in the Father and the Father in Him. In that Spirit we know Jesus in us and us in Jesus. In that Spirit we know the Kingdom of God and God as king.
Those that have not given yourself to God lift up your voice now and add it to the Word and confess, “My God I have sinned and am worthy of the punishment. Jesus Christ – the Word – Immanuel has died in my place and I accept His offering of Love. Lord God Immanuel, be my salvation, my strength and my king. Send the promised Holy Spirit to live in and teach me about my king. Dwell with from this moment on; be in me and I in You as You are in the Father. Amen.” Those that have given yourself to God lift up your voice, “Father of my King I have sinned and am washed clean by the blood of my King, Your Son. Thank You Father for the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is with renewed faith and the strength that is my King Immanuel that I will live from this moment on into eternity. Amen.”
