Authority of God’s Children

Matthew 18:18

New International Version (NIV)

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

  • Binding “on earth” comes first and then comes heaven
  • Loose “on earth” comes first and then comes heaven
  • First it happens in earth and then heaven

WHO IS IN EARTH?

GOD’S Children’s, We.

  • As we are “Ambassadors of Christ
  • God making His appeal as it were through us

So,

  • Bind all the demons,
  • Loose all the Knots : Problems,
  • Heal the sick,

So please don’t blame God for earthquakes and Storms. Being God’s ambassador, You have the responsibility to calm the storm and stop earthquakes.

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

What is “The Truth”?

John 8:31

King James Version (KJV)

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

  • Jews study bible from when they were small age
  • Jews already know 10 Commandments
  • From the first 5 Books of bible, there are 613 commandments ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments ). Jews study all from their young age

Jesus said “My Word” to Jews

  • Very Clear that , “My word” is not 10 Commandments / Law

“My Word” is “The Truth”. (i.e. 10 Commandments / Law is not the Truth )

Commandments say

  • Do Good –> Get Good
  • Do Bad –> Get Bad
  • Do Good –> God bless you
  • Do Bad –> Curses come over you

Very clear that, Jesus is not mentioning these commandments as “My Word”

“My Word” –> “The Truth” –> Set’s us free & Makes us His disciples

Commandments / Law –> DOESN’T sets you free & DOESN’T makes you His Disciple.

Preaching 10 Commandments is called doing Ministry of death

Jesus said “My word” to Jews

John 8:31

King James Version (KJV)

Man’s Resurrection from Worldly Death

John 11:20-27

Amplified Bible (AMP)

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him, while Mary remained sitting in the house.

21 Martha then said to Jesus, Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 And even now I know that whatever You ask from God, He will grant it to You.

23 Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.

24 Martha replied, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25 Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live;

26 And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this?

27 She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I have believed [I do believe] that You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), the Son of God, [even He] Who was to come into the world. [It is for Your coming that the world has waited.]

  • Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live : Jesus is telling about Lazarus
  • Whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all : This is for us : He is talking about worldly death ( more info below)

John 11:24

Amplified Bible (AMP)

24 Martha replied, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25a Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life.

Resurrection is Here NOW:

  • From the above verse, It’s very clear that this resurrection and death conversation things which would happen before the end of the world
  • Thus It’s very clear that this conversation is all about Worldly death, worldly resurrection and worldly living forever.
  • I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life
  • Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life

Death is like taking rest and Sleeping, for Jesus

John 11:11-13

Amplified Bible (AMP)

11 He said these things, and then added, Our friend Lazarus is at rest and sleeping; but I am going there that I may awaken him out of his sleep.

12 The disciples answered, Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.

13 However, Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He referred to falling into a refreshing and natural sleep.

  • Jesus said Lazarus is at rest and sleeping. But Jesus spoken of his death.
  • For Jesus, Death is like a person being at rest and sleeping.
  • As we are Ambassadors of Christ
  • God making His appeal as it were through us

So waking up those who are resting and sleeping is our Responsibility. 

2 Corinthians 5:20

Amplified Bible (AMP)

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadorsGod making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

How God is making His appeal?

God making His appeal as it were through us

2 Corinthians 5:20

Amplified Bible (AMP)

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.

  • We are Christ’s ambassadors
  • God making His appeal as it were through us
  • So its our responsibility to Heal the sick, Calm the storm, Stop the earthquake on happening.

Failure of Old Covenant

  • Wrong with the First Covenant
  • First one Obsolete (out of use)
  • For Disappearance
  • To be Dispensed with altogether

That’s the Reason for the the introduction of the New Covenant (That’s why we have New Testament)

Hebrews 8:7-8

New International Version (NIV)

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.

Hebrews 8:13

Amplified Bible (AMP)

13 When God speaks of a new [covenant or agreement], He makes the first one obsolete (out of use). And what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether.

What’s wrong with the Old Covenant?

Coming soon

Who is our High Priest?

Hebrews 8:6

New Living Translation (NLT)

6 But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.

Jesus is our High Priest.
