Bringing the Word Alive in You
Allowing God to Blow through us
But the Pharisees said to Jesus, "When you talk about
yourself, you are the only one to say that these things are
true. So we cannot accept these things you say." Jesus
answered, "Yes, I am saying these things about myself. But
people can believe these things I say. Why? Because I know
where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you don't
know where I came from or where I am going. You judge me the
way people judge other people. I don't judge any person. But
if I judge, my judging is true. Why? Because when I judge I
am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
-- John 8:13-16 (ERV)
John 8:13 Whereupon the Pharisees told Him, You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid {and} is worthless.
John 8:14 Jesus answered, Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is true {and} reliable {and} valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
John 8:15 You [set yourselves up to] judge according to the flesh (by what you see). [You condemn by external, human standards.] I do not [set Myself up to] judge {or} condemn {or} sentence anyone.
John 8:16 Yet even if I do judge, My judgment is true [My decision is right]; for I am not alone [in making it], but [there are two of Us] I and the Father, Who sent Me.
Thought..
Jesus was considered a false teacher...They judged Him on what they knew only...They judged Him and yet did not know him..They waited for confirmation of His works...they waited for someone to testify who he was...BUT little did they know HE was already confirmed by the ONE they could not hear... The Father that sent Him testified and qualified Him...Jesus knew where He came from and whom sent Him...and where He is going...
False teachers are sent out daily and Jesus gave us what NOT TO DO...Judge according to flesh...BY WHAT YOU SEE...
We are to Walk in discernment...If you know God then you know His children...AMEN
Cry Loud and Spare Not this is a War cry for the Warriors WAKE UP!!!!
