Regaining the Focus of God’s Strategic Battle Plan
We asked God to give us the Title for this article; this morning in prayer, God gave us this title for His message for the Church today. Surely, this Word is from God in the name of JESUS, it is a call for action, a call for redirection for some,
and a warning to others if they fail to repent they will experience the plagues that are written in the Holy Bible, the Word of God. Listen carefully we pray in the name of Jesus, that you will listen very carefully to what God is saying today. Surely, as you read some of these scriptures, you may say, I know all I need to know about this scripture or that scripture. However, God wants you to slow down and listen very carefully to what is being said in this work. When this occurs, some will discover how the god of this world has been working to hide the glorious gospel of Christ even in their ministries or the ministries of others; surely this work is a light of the glorious gospel of Christ shining.
It is important to allow the Word of God to speak for itself. The King James Version of the Bible gives us the opportunity to see the Word of God revealed before our eyes. The NIV takes this opportunity away. To study the Word of God you must be able to study it as outlined at Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Throughout this work, we will allow the scriptures to speak for themselves. We do not need any private interpretation of men.
Foundation - There is Only One God and God is the Saviour
Isaiah 44: 6- 8
6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 43: 9- 13
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
God sent the Son to be Saviour of the World! How did God accomplish this since God is the only Saviour?
Foundation Scripture
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. (15) Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. (16) And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
The condition of the World before Redemption
Isaiah 59: 14- 15 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Salvation is Only of God Isaiah 59:16 -17
(16) And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
(17) For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
The text above is referring to the Action of God.
The Covenant of the Redeemer Isaiah 59:20-21
(20) And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
(21) As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
The Words of the Son of God
Isaiah 61:1-2
(Matthew 2:19-23; Matthew 13:53-58; Mark 6:1-6; Luke 2:39-40; Luke 4:16-30)
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isaiah 61:10
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Here we can see Jesus as the Son of God and the Church.
God made his Son, his servant and gave him for a covenant and light!
Isaiah 42
(1) Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
(2) He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
(3) A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
(4) He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
(5) Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
(6) I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
The Realities of the Covenant
At John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
This also explains why Jesus made the statement: At John 16:15 “All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
John 17:9-11 Jesus said: (9) I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. (10) And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. (11) And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Jesus made this statement because God made him to be a Covenant – this is the Word of God speaking.
God gave Jesus life within himself! Therefore, we must be able to see God’s servant speak.
Let us make note of the Son of God, (the Word of God with life within itself) speaking!
Isaiah 48: (16) Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. (17) Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
God and His Spirit sent the Word. Isaiah 48:16 (God and His Spirit has sent me) Here “me” is the Word of God. To receive this revelation you must understand what is recorded at 1 John 5:7: For there are three that bear record in heaven: the Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one.
The NIV changed this text by removing this foundation. The NIV changed this text to read: “For there are three that testify:” There is no mention of the Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost. Next, the NIV link 5:7 to 5:8; this stratagem was used to deceive the saints of God, without cross-references the reader would have never known this deletion of this foundation had occurred.
Here it is important to understand that “me” is the Word of God. (Here we can clearly see the Word of God speaking. Revelation 19:13 says: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
We must remember that the Word was with God in the beginning, however the Son was begotten. In John 3:16-17 Jesus says; (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
It is very important to understand this Truth because this is foundational. A Foundation that the NIV removed.
Seeing Jesus as The Lord's Chosen Servant
God sent his Son as a Servant, The Word of God is within the Son of Man. At times you can clearly hear the Word of God speaking, The Son of God and at other times you can hear the Son of Man speaking as the Son of God to a perfect man. For example, the Son of Man (The Son of God to a Perfect Man) said at Matthew 12:48-50 (48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? (49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! (50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
The Word of God speaking: John 16: 27-28 “For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. (28) I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
John 14: 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (We must remember the Word came out from God and God gave the Word life within itself for this assignment – Surely the Father is greater than the Word that came out from Him.)
Jesus was tasked to declare and manifest the name of the Father. These are very important tasks that must be understood.
One of the tasks performed by Jesus Christ was to Manifest The Father's name unto the men which thou gavest Him out of the world (John 17:6). John 5:43 says, Jesus Christ came in His Father’s name. Mary and Joseph did not name Jesus Christ. However, His Father the only true God named him through the angel Gabriel. Isaiah 62:1-2 says, “For ZION’S sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. Revelation 3:12 Jesus says, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”
The children of Israel defiled the Holy name of the Lord that Moses declared, by the abominations that they committed. God said that he would sanctify his great name, “which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.” (Ezekiel 36:23) In Ezekiel 39:7 God said, “I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name anymore: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.” Jesus Christ was tasked to declare the name of the Father; Jesus Christ accomplished this task in the midst of the people of Israel. In John 17:26, Jesus Christ says, “And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." This was the fulfillment of the prophecy as recorded in Ezekiel 39:7.
In John 5:43 Jesus said: I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
John 17: 6 “I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.”
John 17:26 Jesus says: “And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
The Son of Man had to be glorified.
John 12:23 “And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.”
At John 12:28 Jesus said: “Father, glorify thy name.” Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. John 13:31-32 Jesus says: (31) Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. (32) If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
Jesus was tasked to declare the name of the Father. (Here we can clearly see the Word of God speaking.) Revelation 19:13 says: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
John 17:1-8
( 1) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: (2) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. (3)And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (4) I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. (5) And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
(6) I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. (7) Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. (8) For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:25- 26 Jesus said: “O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
(26) And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
John 12:28 Jesus said: “Father, glorify thy name.” Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
To receive the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, it is imperative that you understand the revelation regarding the Word of God. Revelation knowledge reveals when we see the Word of God, this is the Seven Spirits of God.
The Revelation of the Word of God being the Seven Spirits of God is a very powerful revelation. Below you are able to see this revelation unfold before your eyes through scripture.
John 1:1-4
(1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) The same was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
This is an affirmation. Apostle John was affirming this Truth based on the scriptures. Watch and see the unfolding of this Affirmation.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (6) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Zechariah 4:1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, (2) And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: (3) And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. (4) So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? (5) Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. (6) Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 3: 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. (9) For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. (10) In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. Zechariah 4:8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, (9) The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. (10) For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Zechariah 4:6 The Word of Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying. Zechariah 4:8 “More over the word of the LORD came unto me, saying. This revelation is very important to understand.
The NIV has changed this text; you cannot receive this revelation using the NIV.
The Word of God – Bread from Heaven – Jesus said: You must Eat my Flesh!
With this understanding regarding the Word of God is the Seven Spirits of God we can receive the revelation of what Jesus meant when he said you must eat my flesh in John 6:54.
According to John 1:1-3 (1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2)The same was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 says: “And the Word was made 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.”
At John 6:48 -58, Jesus says: (48) I am that bread of life. (49) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. (50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. (51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
(52) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? (53) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (54) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (55) For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (56) He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. (57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. (58) This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Now that we know that the Seven Spirits of God is the Word of God, let us first address the blood. According to 1 John 5:8: “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” This Truth explains the revelation about the blood. Acts 20:28 says: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Jesus said you must eat his flesh. We know that Jesus was not talking about the earthly flesh. At John 6:62 -63, Jesus made it clear that he was not talking about the earthly flesh. Jesus said: 62 “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (63) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” NOTE: Here Jesus explains the earthly flesh profiteth nothing.
Now let us take a look at the Seven Spirits of God, which is the Word of God, the Bread that came down from heaven.
Isaiah 11:1-2 says: (1) And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: (2) And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Here we can see the BRANCH out the stem of Jesse; this is the Son of Man. When you look closely you can see the Seven Spirits of God. (1) The Spirit of the Lord and then you can see the Word of God to include these Spirits: (2) The Spirit of Wisdom (3) The Spirit of Understanding (4) The Spirit of Counsel (5) The Spirit of Might, (6) The Spirit of Knowledge and (7) The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. (The Word was with God and the Word was God!)
Therefore, Jesus is saying that his flesh is Spirit – Spiritual Food. When you eat the Word of God, you eat the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Might, and the Spirit of Knowledge, and the more you eat you will eat the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. Praise God for the revelation. Therefore, as we revisit John 1:14 regarding the Word was made flesh; we must remember that the Word of God is Spirit and it was never human earthly flesh; although it was in an earthly body. This is the reason Jesus, the Son of God is referred to as the image of the invisible God at Colossians 1:15. The blood was God’s blood because the Spirit agrees with the water and the blood. Therefore, it was the blood of God that was shed on the Cross. (1 John 5:8)
We must understand that Jesus was also the Son of Man. Jesus is referred to as “my servant the BRANCH” at Zechariah 3:8.
At Acts 2:34-38, Apostle Peter said: (34) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, (35) Until I make thy foes thy footstool. (36)Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (37) Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? (38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
To understand this revelation you must understand the “Mystery of God’s Will.”
Ephesians 1:9-10
(9 ) “Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (10) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:” Note: This says even the things of God would be put in Christ.
At Matthew 28:18 -20 Jesus said: (18) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Since all power is given to Jesus, what’s next, we must remember that Jesus was given life within himself. 1 Corinthians 15:27 – 28 says: For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. (28) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
With this understanding, we can clearly see that it was God, The Father that was within Christ that was doing the Work. This is the mystery of God’s will. Without this understanding man would be led to their own interpretation of the Word of God. Now that we know the Covenant is the Word of God, we can also see Jesus as a Servant, the Son of Man, the Son of God to a perfect man, and the image of the invisible God. According to Ephesians Chapter 4, Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ we will be as children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Surely this is a reality today.
At John 17:3 – 5 Jesus said: (3) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (4) I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. (5) And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
John 17:16-26 (16) They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (18) As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. (19) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Jesus prayed for all Believers
(20) Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; (21)That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
(23) I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (24) Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
(25) O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. (26) And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Here we can see it was the “Word of God” that was with God in the beginning – God gave the Word life within itself – God sent his Word into the Son of Man – The Son of Man was glorified and became the Son of God unto a perfect man.
Why the Bible does not mention the Holy Trinity? – Because there is not a Holy Trinity; it is about the oneness of God. Let's review Apostle Paul's greeting to the Church in Rome. Roman 1:1-6: (1) Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (2) Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, (3) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; (4) And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: (5) By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: (6) Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
In summary: God gave life to the Word of God. The Word of God finished the assignments that were given to him by the Father and the Word went back to the Father. There is only one True God that is the Father. God sent his Word into an earthly vessel, a Virgin named Mary; therefore Mary conceived a son of the Holy Ghost. An Angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream and gave him the revelation and told Joseph to call his name JESUS. The name Jesus is also the name for the Word of God. God made his Word a covenant for his people and a light for the Gentiles. Jesus manifested and declared the name of the Father. The Father glorified the Son of Man. The Father glorified the name for both the Father and the Son and then glorified the name Jesus for the Holy Ghost. Thus the Holy Ghost was sent in the name of JESUS. This was God’s will according to Ephesians 1:9-10 when the fullness of God dwelt in Christ here on earth to do the Work; this is the reason Jesus was made both Lord and Christ. Acts 4:12 clearly explains: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Most churches practice repeating the phrase “In the Name of The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost”, that Jesus gave as a command. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” It was not the practice of the disciples to just repeat the command; however they executed the command by baptizing in the name of Jesus.
Nevertheless, the practice of merely repeating the phrase “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” was passed down through the years. Although it was passed down, it was not through the word of God, but through the doctrines of men. There is no record in the Bible whereby anyone was baptized by repeating the phrase, “I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Jesus did not mean for anyone to just repeat the command. Jesus said to baptize in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; the name is JESUS. This is a spiritual battle; many Christians fail to understand this warfare. However, Satan knows and Satan has been very effective in waging it. Click here to read any article that outlines Satan’s plan and some of his current actions to effect it.
There is power in the name of Jesus. Again let us review the scriptures.
The Father made himself an everlasting name. In John 5:43 Jesus says, “I am come in my Father’s name …” Jesus was tasked to manifest the name of the Father. (John 17:6) Jesus declared the Father’s name. (John 17:26) Jesus made known the name of the Father to be Jesus, a new name; an everlasting name that the Father made for himself. At Acts 4:12, Apostle Peter explained: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” “Jesus” a name that was not at the beginning, but a name from everlasting until it was declared by Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, Our Lord and Saviour. The god of this world has blinded many from this truth. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
This is a spiritual battle. Satan knows the power of the Word of God. Consequently, Satan has been very effective in waging this war. It is important to understand God’s Strategic Battle Plan. To understand God’s plan there must be a redirecting to understand the only True God who has called us and loves us. We must understand the revelation of the First Seal; God has given us both power and instructions to carry-out His Strategic Battle Plan. God has put this revelation at our hand at this link: Opening of the First Seal – Sending the Promise of the Father.
It is also important to understand the Revelation of the Second Seal and how and why the beast prevailed against the saints of God and what we must do now to turn the battle to the gate. God has put at our hands these works that clearly show these revelations. Article: Making the Bride Ready – From the Hand of the Beast – Turning the Battle to the Gate. It is also important to understand Satan’s plan and Satan’s current activities to effect his plan. We have a video that reveals this reality. Click on link for the Video regarding the NIV. NIV Conspiracy Revealed!
Now here is the problem – For the love of money is the root of all evil. There are some who have built their ministries on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Moreover, most of those assemblies will not baptize in the name of JESUS because they have embraced the doctrines of men and many have been in ministry for many, many years. Moreover, the NIV is the best-selling version of the Bible in the World. Millions are being made on these products, products that undermine the integrity of the Word of God. Moreover, the NIV has removed foundations that are needed to ensure we can effect the edification process as outlined in the scriptures. This revelation has been given to Prophets of God to share in love to effect God wills for the Church. Ephesians 4:11-14 says: (11) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14)That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Just prior to completing this article the Holy Spirit directed me to check the NIV to see how Ephesians 4: 11-13 have be changed by the NIV. Compare the text. NIV Ephesians 4:11-14: (11) So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, (12) to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up (13) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (14) Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
The NIV interpretation of this text changed the intent of God’s powerful message. Verse 13 is about knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man and unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Surely it is important that the Saints of God become mature however no saint will attain the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. God’s message is about the importance of the saints understanding who Son of God is, unto a perfect man and the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; consequently today many of the saints do not understand Christ to this level this is the reason the saints are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. However, you will not receive this revelation by using the NIV. As you review the meat of this work you can clearly see this is a major portion of this work is regarding understanding the full stature of Christ.
This is surely a call for action; the ones who love God and worship God in Spirit and in Truth will adhere to this word and share this work in the name of Jesus. For some to receive these revelations it will be very difficult because of their current status and positions in the world. Pride will play a major role for the ones who will fail to repent because they have earned PhD’s and DDs from some of the leading Bible Colleges and Universities in the World. Some are pastors who have large ministries and their doctrine must be changed to reflect truth to properly feed the Saints of the Living God. The warfare requires us to put on our whole armor of God. In order for the people God to grow they must be properly fed to be all that God has called them to be in the name of JESUS. It is unfortunate that some will refuse to change even after they receive this TRUTH. Mark 7:6-7 is written for this group. (6) He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
The publishers, and copyright holders, people who oversees translation process of the NIV and other bibles that have undermined the integrity of the Word of God must repent or experience the plagues that are written in the Bible according to Revelation 22-18-21. (18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
(21)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {THE END.}
