Jesus is Lord Fellowship WWI
Welcome to our Fellowship Hall.
Feel free to post a message.
We welcome all National and International Fellowship members and visitors around the globe as you receive the spiritual nutrition of the Lords Word.
We need a good revelation of Jesus Christ.
If you see what He has then you will know what you have.
We have an entire book dedicated to just that.
Reve 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
This is not about the end of the world, although that is a part of it, but is a revelation of Jesus Christ.
WE DO NOT READ, "THE REVELATION ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD."
WE DO NOT READ, "THE REVELATION OF WHAT MISSILES WILL DESTROY WHAT NATIONS."
WE DO NOT READ, "THE REVELATION OF COMPUTER CHIPS AND COMPUTERS CALLED 'BEAST'."
What is a Revelation of Jesus Christ?
It is an unveiling of what He has and who He really is.
Why do we need a revelation of Him?
Because we need to see what is true of Him since it is true of us.
We just are not aware of what is true of us.
The first verses we read in this message tonight surrounded OVERCOMING.
The reason people are struggling in their christian lives is that they are not overcomers.
And the way we overcome is by faith. (1 John)
Revelation 12:11 says that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.
1 John tells us it is faith, and Revelation tells us what particular faith.
"Word of our testimony" does not mean stand and give a testimony in a church service.
It means that Jesus died and shed His blood.
This was special.
He may have shed His blood, but it is my testimony.
What is your testimony?
It is what is true about you.
Since He died as me, then what is true about me (what is my testimony), is that I died.
I need to recognize that as my testimony.
It needs to become the word of my testimony.
That all is true because of the blood.
He died in my place.
He died as me.
So I was buried with Him in water baptism.
I overcome because of the fact that His death allowed me to unite to Him, since He died as me, and have a new testimony.
I could not say I was dead to sin until I got saved.
I could not say that what was true of me was that I was buried and left this old sinful humanity until I was saved.
I could not say that I have power over the problems in my life until I got saved.
But all these things became my testimony.
They were true for Jesus for the last 2,000 years.
But they became true for me when I was united to Jesus Christ by believing He died as me, and then I did something about it.
I was buried with Him by being baptized in His name.
And the veil was removed.
So now I can see the things that are of Him are true for me.
This is how we overcome.
What is wrong with us is corrected by learning what is true of Him.
Because what is true of Him, though I may not have known it, is true of me.
A little boy looks at his older brother and sees how he can walk into a certain company and ask anyone there to do anything he needs, as he walks inside the best office in the company.
"Why?" the little boy asks.
"Because dad owns this company, pal."
"Can I do that?"
"You can come on in this office, like me, any time you wish, because the owner is your dad, too. It is our NAME that gave us this. Not anything we did."
That is why we need to be baptized into Jesus' name.
Here is a problem in the Ephesian church.
(What is this book about?)
(The revelation of Jesus Christ.)
(Keep that in mind.)
Reve 2:4-6 Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
They left their first love.
Reminds me of Adam, he left his first love and his desire to know God more than anything else.
How is this problem solved?
Reve 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Adam was thrown out of Garden when he lost his first love for the things of God.
The one who overcomes can eat of the tree of life in the midst of the Paradise.
Get back in the Garden again.
How do we overcome?
Blood of the lamb and word of our testimony.
We are connected to Jesus by the blood, therefore whatever is true of Him becomes our testimony!
Notice what the overcomers have and compare that wit what Jesus is described as:
Rev 2:1... he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 2:7...To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree
Rev 2:7...To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
He is in the midst of the candlesticks - where all the LIGHT comes from.
So we can apply that to us, overcome by seeing what is true of Him is true of us, and eat of the tree of life in the midst of the paradise of God.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John said the LIGHT is the LIFE of men.
Candlestick shaped like an almond tree.
The Lord is in the midst of a tree that has fruit of LIGHT.
John said the LIGHT is the LIFE of men.
He is in the midst of tree, so we can get into the midst where tree of life is.
What is true of Him is true of us.
Reve 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Problem there was:
Reve 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
You will suffer persecution.
Some will die.
You must be faithful even to the death.
And Jesus give them a crown of life.
Now what was Jesus described as?
These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
He was dead and is alive, so they could overcome this problem and face actual death and rise again later!
What was wrong with them is solved by what is true of Him.
So that is the reason this is a revelation of Jesus Christ.
We need to see what is true of Him so that we can solve what is wrong with us.
And if we overcome by applying what is true of Him to ourselves,
Reve 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
The first death is physical death.
We will experience that.
Our bodies die.
But that is nothing so long as we do not get hurt by the second death.
The second death is being lost forever.
We will not be hurt of the second death any more than Jesus was hurt of the second death when He died and rose again.
If you die and stay dead, you will be hurt of the second death.
Christians will resurrect when the trumpet sounds.
And if you do not resurrect then you are hurt by the second death.
Reve 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Reve 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and *****mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
If we are in the first resurrection, then we will have no need to fear the second death.
The second death is lake of fire.
Because Jesus introduced Himself to this church as He who was was dead and is alive forever more!
These are two examples of how Revelation is a revelation of Jesus Christ, and not so much a future prediction of what will happen to the world.
But Jesus Himself said that only He who has ears will hear what the Spirit is saying through this book.
And when we read in Rev 12 that we overcome by HIS BLOOD and the word of OUR TESTIMONY.
This is talking about a revelation of Jesus Christ.
We see have revealed to us about Him tells us what is true for us.
And it all begins for us at the blood.
When we first accept Him as having died as us.
That is the doorway into this world of having as ours what is His.
When we tap into Him, as branches in a vine, all the sap in Him comes into us.
He is the vine and we are the branches.
It is what Jesus meant when He said that we must eat His flesh.
It is what communion and the Lord's supper is all about.
Taking what is true of Him and putting it into our practice, for what is true of Him is true of us.
