(Rev 3:18-22) "I (the all mighty God) counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich (in good works); and white raiment (robes of righteousness), that thou mayest be clothed (with righteousness), and that the shame of thy nakedness (sins) do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see (that I AM the light of LIFE). {19} As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. {20} Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice (if any open up his deaf ears to hear ME), and open the door (by repenting and turning from his life of sin), I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. {21} To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. {22} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
(Acts 5:31-32) "Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. {32} And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."
(Rev 4:1-2) "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. {2} And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."
(Eph 1:20-21) "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him as his own right hand in the heavenly places, {21} Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:"
(Luke 1:70-75) "As he (the mighty ONE) spake by the mouth of his holy prophets (told mankind what He was going to do), which have been since the world began: {71} That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; {72} To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; {73} The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, {74} That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, {75} In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life."
(Rev 5:1-7) "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. {2} And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? {3} And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. {4} And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. {5} And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David (our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of both God and Man), 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 (to minister for them who are the heirs of salvation). {7} And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne." (Heb 1:14) "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
(Mat 20:23) "And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father."
(Christ manifested as man was only the Arm, hand and finger of His Father. He was a Servant - Slave, that was sent down to us Sons on earth to lead us back to the His Fathers righteous WAY of LIFE. The right ARM of the Father was the Fathers Servant - Slave, to do and say only what He the Head told Him to do. As He was only an attachment of the Father , as His Right Arm, He was a Servant only. He was not the Head, the Father was and therefore He did not know all things. As your ARM is a Slave to do what you tell it to do, so was Jesus Christ as a man. The Fathers Slave to do what the He said to do. However as the Fathers Right Hand, His Son, He had all the authority of the Father as His Son (ARM). )
(Mat 25:34-37) "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: {35} For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: {36} Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. {37} Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?" (Mat 25:41-42) "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: {42} For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:"
We as His earthly extension of (Sons - Arm - Branch) the Body of Christ were detached from God as His Righteous arms on earth because we would not obey Him as a Servant - Slave and do His works, His Body, is assigned to do. All His arms, branches, that are on the left side of God, (are not doing His works that He assigned to us to do as an extension of the Righteous Body of Christ. The servants (disobedient hands) on the Left Hand of Christ must repent of their transgressions of His Righteous Holy Laws and return to living once again on the Right Hand of God by doing the works His Righteous bodies hands. We must accept the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as our savior and return to being obedient to them as a Servant - Slave, to be once again reattached (Married) to them.
(Rev 14:12-13) "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. {13} And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
(Mat 26:64) "Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
(Mark 14:62) "And Jesus said, I am (YHVH): and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
(Luke 10:18-20) "And he said unto them (Those on His Right Hand), I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. {19} Behold, I give unto you (those who are Servant - Slaves to do His Will) power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. {20} Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
This scripture implies that If your name is written down in Heaven and you are seated at the Right Hand of the Father in Christ Jesus, you have His power within you to cast out Satan spirits.
(Mat 28:18-20) "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."
The word POWER is used some 140 times in referance to Jesus Christ and His ministry. Why dose the word POWER occure so often with the ministry of Jesus Christ. The answer in found in the name Emmanuel that was given to the Son of God from heaven. The Father gave Him that name.
(Mat 1:23) "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." EL is the Hebrew word for God all Mighty. EL is short for ELHOIM. Elohim is used 37 times in Genius as the name of the ONE who created the Heaven and earth in Six Days and He is the ONE who created the Sabbath Day and rested from all His works on it. Elohim is the Hebrew word meaning "MIGHTY ONE" The Lord Jesus Christ was that Mighty One manifested in the Flesh. In the Old Covenant He was called the HAND of God, VHYH, Yahwah and many other names.
In the New Covenant, He is call the Hand of God also.
(1 Pet 5:6) "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:" He is also called the Almighty God six times.
(Rev 11:17) "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."
(There is no drought in this scripture just WHO Emmanuel is, He is the Almighty God, Elohim. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Elohim (Mighty One) manifested in the flesh. He created the Heaven and Earth in six days and rested on the Sabbath. He made the Sabbath for Adam and Eve to rest on from all their labors in the garden that they were made a caretaker over for their Creator. Hes the same ONE who told His people to remember to REST on the Sabbath He had made for man.
(Mark 2:27-28) "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: {28} Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."
Of course the Son of God who was also called the HAND of God in the first Covenant, the LORD of the Sabbath, He wrote it with His finger. He made it for His man He had made. As the Creator God He RESTED on it and also as the Son of man in the person of our LORD Jesus Christ, He RESTED on it. In His Covenant with man to become His Sons once again, not to keep the Sabbath of the LORD thy God carried a death sentence.
(Mat 28:18-20) "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(Mark 3:14-15) "And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, {15} And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:"
(Mark 9:1) "And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."
(Mat 12:28) "But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you."
(Mark 1:15) "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
(Luke 10:9) "And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."
(Luke 11:20) "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you."
(Luke 17:20-21) "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: {21} Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
If the Kingdom of God is not within you, you are not within the Kingdom of God.
(John 14:23-26) "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. {24} He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings (Commandments): and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. {25} These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. {26} But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
(1 John 3:24) "And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (The Sunday Churches say that they dont have to keep the Covenant because it was mailed to the cross. Is this true. Some one forgot to tell John, this was written several years after the Death of Jesus on the stake.)
If this scripture is true, only those who keep His Ten Comentment Covenant out of Love for their Saviour with all there heart and obey only Him, are in the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of God is within them. (1 John 2:21) "I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."
(Psa 66:16-20) " Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. {17} I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. {18} If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: {19} But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20} Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me."
(Eccl 12:12-14) "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. {13} Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. {14} For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
(Luke 1:74-75) "That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, {75} In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life."
Body of the Lord on earth has many members in it that serve Him with fear and obedence and do not depart from keeping His Holy Commandments as issued by the Head, the LORD Jesus Christ. Ever member of our physical body obeys our head. This is also true with the members of the Lords Spiritual Body. The head dictates everything to its many parts as to what it is to do for the whole body. Our hands, feet, eyes, etc, are the slaves that do the commandments of our head. Without their obedience to its head, every part of our body would be out of control. It could not feed itself, walk or see where it was going.
(1 Cor 12:12-22) "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. {13} For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. {14} For the body is not one member, but many. {15} If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? {16} And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17} If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? {18} But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. {19} And if they were all one member, where were the body? {20} But now are they many members, yet but one body. {21} And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. {22} Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:"
(Rev 18:3-6) "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. {4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. {5} For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. {6} Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."
(Mat 6:22-24) "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. {23} But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! {24} No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
(Acts 1:8) "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
