His Word - His Blood - His Life - JESUS
There are times when the Lord will give us deeper revelation,
because He wants us to know more about Him,
and what He wants us to understand,
because greater understanding brings greater awe, reverence and freedom.
Many of us are able to quote from The Gospel of John 1:
v. 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God."...
v.4 "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
v. 5 "And the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness did not comprehend it."
v. 14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
And this scripture just rolls off our tongue,
but do we really understand/comprehend it?
I tell you, as the Lord bears witness to His Word, that I feel His power surging through my muscles as I write...for He gave me a deeper revelation at Erica's funeral.
Rabbi Harvey Spivak led the funeral, because Erica had been studying Judaism
and he knew her and her family.
And as he read passages from Isaiah, Psalms and Numbers, there was such a holy peace of the Lord that descended and filled the room and the air at her grave -
that for me, it was His tangible Presence.
(Such a comfort to my heart that these very scriptures were the very same ones
He'd had me read in the week previous to Erica's Homegoing.)
I was pondering and reflecting upon all this when He spoke:
"....MY SPIRIT IS CONTAINED WITHIN MY WORD -
FOR I AM THE WORD!
WE ARE NOT TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES;
I AM THE WORD.
Think of your skin - You do not take it off and separate it from your body,
and inside your body is your blood. Your blood gives life to your body.
SO IT IS WITH MY WORD.
THE WORD BECAME FLESH,
BUT IT IS THE BLOOD WHICH GIVES LIFE TO THE BODY.
IT IS THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB
WHICH GIVES LIFE TO THE WORD!
When the WORD IS SPOKEN, THE BLOOD GIVES LIFE TO THE WORD!
As the blood of Abel cried up from the ground to My ears,
so does The BLOOD OF CHRIST speak to the entire universe!
Demons scream in The Presence of the Voice of the Blood of My Son!
This is why I tell you, GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN YOU
than he who is in the world.
THE LIVING WORD, THE BLOOD OF CHRIST LIVES IN YOU
~for you ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD.
The priests performed the blood sacrifice at the temple.
I tell you the TRUTH -
THE BLOOD SACRIFICE OF MY SON LIVES WITHIN YOU
as the temple of the Living God.
For I tell you the Truth -
YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE -
THE BLOOD OF CHRIST!
THE BLOOD, HIS BLOOD, paid your way into My Kingdom.
Hebrews 4:12 "For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thought and purposes of the heart."
1 Corinthians 3:16 "Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and the God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]? v. 17 If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are."
